Fortnite Chapter 2 Update Now Available

Fortnite’s Chapter 2 patch is now available to download, but the season itself has still yet to begin.

The Chapter 2 patch is available on all platforms – PC, console, and mobile – and it’s a chunky update. The PS4 update files weighs in at just over 9GB, while on PC it’s 16GB. Don’t worry about how long that will take you download if you have a slower connection, though; Chapter 2 isn’t live quite yet.

It appears that Epic is gearing up for a Fortnite Chapter 2 launch later today. The trailer for the season previously leaked, which gave us an insight into Fortnite Chapter 2’s features, including boats, fishing and a new progression system.

Blizzard Cancels Overwatch Event In New York City

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

Blizzard has canceled an Overwatch for Switch launch event scheduled to take place this week to celebrate the game’s release on Nintendo’s hybrid platform.

The event was supposed to take place on October 16 at the marquee Nintendo store in New York City. However, it’s no longer going ahead. Blizzard canceled the event, Nintendo said in an update on Twitter. “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”

The cancellation of the event is a surprise, given it was only just announced on October 9. It was supposed to be a launch party of sorts for Overwatch’s Switch version, and voice actors from Overwatch were scheduled to appear to meet fans.

The event is still posted to Nintendo’s website.

Blizzard was recently again in the news after the company released a statement regarding the action it took against a Hearthstone player, blitzchung, who voiced their support for the ongoing Hong Kong protests. Blizzard has reduced his ban and restored his prize money.

As for blitzchung, he said in his own statement that he will “be more careful on that and express my opinions or show my support to Hong Kong on my personal platforms.”

Blizzard’s next big event is BlizzCon, which takes place in California in November. The company is expected to make announcements and share new information about its games at the show. The company will also no doubt face questions about its Hong Kong statement.

Nintendo’s statement mentions that Blizzard canceled the Overwatch event in NYC. However, Blizzard has yet to explain why. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.

The Best Games We Played At PAX Aus

TopplePOP (PC, mobile, unannounced consoles) | Spirit Animal Inc | Release: 2020

TopplePOP (PC, mobile, unannounced consoles) | Spirit Animal Inc | Release: 2020

TopplePOP is a game that stems from the fundamental human truth that Tetris is wonderful, and any game that kind-of resembles it has a chance of being great too. Thankfully, it does plenty to stand out in its own right, scratching different itches to most other block-based puzzlers.

This is a competitive puzzle game for up to four players, in which your avatar–an animal attached to a bungee cord at the top of the screen–drops shapes into a classic puzzle game basin. Match four blocks of the same colour and they’ll vanish, but blocks won’t sit flush like they do in Tetris, and are affected by physics. Your objective is to clear the ‘Grumbles’ in the basin, critters who are colour coded to show which blocks can ‘rescue’ them by being matched while touching them.

The bungee cord is TopplePOP’s big innovation. You can jump down, rotate them, and be precise, but that will take time. Alternatively, you can hurl the block from the top of the screen, dropping it down or throwing it hard, but it might not land where you want. Some blocks are sticky, black blocks cannot be matched and simply accumulate, and various other effects tied to each level can impact your ability to clear them fast.

TopplePOP has been designed with esports in mind, but to me, it seems like a wonderful party game, one that is immediately understandable but which you could also spend dozens of hours mastering. The risk/reward inherent in how you throw the blocks leads to the kind of wild, messy, funny chaos that keeps you coming back for more.
