Dragon Quest Walk Announced for Mobile

Square Enix has announced Dragon Quest Walk, a location-based mobile game akin to Pokemon Go.

Due for release this year in Japan, Dragon Quest Walk will feature “a story that develops as you walk”. Quests will take place at various landmarks around Japan, similar to how Pokemon Go generates PokeStops at real-world named locations.

The game’s official website, translated via Gematsu, states that players will be able to “Walk the fields and talk to the townspeople while moving forward on your quest. Battle against various monsters, grow, prepare your equipment, and even challenge formidable enemies.” There is also the ability to create a room and decorate it with items obtained through play.

Why Neil Gaiman Doesn’t Want Good Omens Season 2

Warning! The following story contains spoilers for the end of Good Omens Season 1.

The seeds for a follow-up season of Good Omens seemed to have been planted in the epic finale. In the sixth episode, now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, the angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and his demon BFF Crowley (David Tennant) successfully thwarted the end of the world, but their final conversation hinted at an even bigger apocalypse to come: the inevitable war between angels and demons fighting against humanity. It was an ominous note to end on after a cheerful first season (despite the whole season centering on the impending apocalypse), and one that seemed to hold promise for an even bigger second season. If angels vs. demons were as epic as the first season of Good Omens showed, just think of how world-shattering it would be to see both sides team up against all of humanity. Now that’s an Armageddon!

Apple Reportedly Planning to End iTunes

Reports indicate that Apple, at today’s WWDC 2019, will announce that three separate media apps are going to replace iTunes on desktop.

iTunes has been a mainstay since it was first announced in 2001, but will soon be replaced by three separate apps for Music, TV, and Podcasts, according to a report by Bloomberg. The announcement is expected to occur during today’s keynote at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm BST.

Alongside this reveal, Apple is also expected to discuss how it is positioning the Apple Watch to have even more independence from the iPhone with WatchOS 6, its push to make the iPad an even more viable laptop replacement, potentially show off a new Mac Pro, and give the world a look at iOS 13.

Rainbow Six Siege Is Planned to Continue Into Next-Gen

In a recent interview, Ubisoft Montreal hinted at their plans for bringing Rainbow Six Siege to next gen, and how it will do so without asking fans to segregate or stump up a load of cash.

Rainbow Six Siege might be the greatest long-term success story in all of the games as service genre. Although not the biggest or the most profitable, Siege touts a large and extremely dedicated fanbase thanks to a near constant stream of updates, and a public desire from Ubisoft Montreal to keep adding content until the game has 100 playable characters. It’s been around for so long and got so much better, we even re-reviewed it.

ROCCAT Kova AIMO Gaming Mouse Review

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

In the world of gaming peripherals, nothing screams “cool” like a barrage of rainbow colors burning your retinas throughout a midnight session of League or Apex. Looking to take RGB lighting to the next level, ROCCAT revisited its ambidextrous Kova mouse and said, “No, we can do better than basic LED lighting.” ROCCAT upgraded the mouse with the company’s new AIMO lighting system and raised the retail price from the Kova’s $49.99 to the Kova AIMO’s $59.99. So, what is AIMO, and does it live up to Roccat’s hype? Is this the gaming mouse you need to win friends through functionality and influence people with dazzling spectacle?

Control Preview: Like Max Payne Meets Alan Wake, But Weirder

This is now the second time I’ve played Control, the single-player, third-person action-adventure from Max Payne, Alan Wake, and Quantum Break developer Remedy. My first test drive (which you can also watch below) convinced me of Control’s fundamentals – namely, that shooting things and using the director’s telekinetic powers felt really fantastic – and so in my second go-round, I was looking for the same level of polish and appeal in the rest of the experience. Remedy’s never given reason to doubt the Finnish studio, and Control doesn’t seem like it will end the studio’s run of quality offerings anytime soon.
