Total War: Three Kingdoms offers a somewhat more guided narrative than previous games in the series for those who want it. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel on which it’s based is full of iconic moments of heroism, betrayal, and tragedy – and the grand campaign presents each warlord with dilemmas based on these moments to guide the campaign. Will you stick to the script or go off-book?

This preview highlights the ambitious Yuan Shu and a couple different directions his campaign can go. In the Romance, he would side with the valorous Sun Jian against Liu Biao, one of the most powerful men in central China at the start of the conflict. Doing so allows him to undermine Liu Biao’s vassals and possibly bring them into his alliance later.

Warning: Full spoilers follow for Avengers: Endgame.

There’s a reason Marvel has started referring to the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as “The Infinity Saga.” Each of these 22 films has played a part in advancing an overarching story about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes banding together to stop Thanos from wreaking havoc on the universe. Even if Thanos himself only ever appeared in a handful of these movies, he was the catalyst that fueled the MCU for an entire decade.

Now that Avengers: Endgame has arrived and brought the Infinity Saga to a close, we have to wonder what villains could possibly fill that void. What Marvel characters are twisted enough, ambitious enough and fascinating enough to shape the next decade of the MCU in the way Thanos shaped the first? Here are a few worthy candidates.

Final Strike Games and Nexon have revealed Rocket Arena, a 3v3, rockets-only ‘shooter where no one dies’ – and you can sign up for a PC closed beta now.

Headed to PC and Xbox at launch (with the promise of cross-play), Rocket Arena pits teams of 3 cartoony characters against one another, using rockets to knock others off the map. The more blasts a player takes, the easier it is for them to be knocked off – essentially, it sounds like it’s pitched somewhere between Quake and Super Smash Bros.

“Rocket Arena’s matches take place as part of the Rocket Championship Tour on the mysterious World of Crater, where just about everything is made from or powered by rockets.” Final Strike CEO Kevin Franklin tells IGN. “We’ve worked tirelessly to perfect the mechanics of the game, including Rocket Jumping, Blasting, and a Return System to create, ‘The shooter where no one dies’. Our input tuning, projectile networking, and hit detection are balanced with feedback from our internal test team, made up of pro players and the professional Korean eSports team Element Mystic. The result is an accessible 3v3 shooter that can scale up to be a highly competitive FPS.”
