The Division 2 PC Players Are Getting a Technical Test This Weekend Ahead of the Open Beta

Ubisoft has announced a PC-only technical test for this weekend as a dry run for the platform’s open beta.

“Our goal with this Technical Test is to assess a certain amount of fixes we implemented based on your feedback following the Private Beta,” the dev said in a Reddit post. “This will help ensure that your Open Beta experience will be as smooth as possible.”

It won’t be open to everyone, but players who have been selected will be receiving email invites today. Ubisoft has stressed that pre-order customers are not guaranteed to get in, as the invites are being “distributed at random to ensure a wide range of participants.”

Kingdom Hearts 3, Resident Evil 2 Topped January 2019 Game Sales

January’s NPD report is in, and Nintendo pipped its competitors to the post in both hardware and software sales.

The Switch was the only console to show a year-on-year increase in both dollar and unit sales, despite an overall decrease in spending of 28% in the category as a whole, compared to January 2018.

Kingdom Hearts 3 was the best-selling game of January 2019, and while Kingdom Hearts 2 also topped the charts in its launch month back in 2006, the latest installment has it beat on the revenue front, with a 2.5-times increase in dollar sales.

The game was also the fastest-selling in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, shipping over 5 million units in one week.

Final Fantasy 15’s Last DLC Episode Releases Next Month

Square Enix has announced a release date for Final Fantasy XV‘s last DLC chapter, Episode Ardyn. The expansion arrives on PS4, Xbox One, and PC next month, on March 26. Some mild Final Fantasy XV spoilers follow.

Episode Ardyn casts players in the role of the eponymous Final Fantasy XV villain. According to Square Enix, the story is set 35 years before the events of the main game, after Ardyn is freed from his centuries-long imprisonment by Niflheim researcher Verstael Besithia.

Much like previous Final Fantasy XV DLC chapters, Episode Ardyn features some unique gameplay mechanics. As Ardyn, players will be able to speed around the environment using his Shadow Move ability. He can also Daemonify enemies, turning them into daemons.

Ahead of Episode Ardyn’s release, Square Enix shared an animated prologue video that sets the stage for the DLC. You can watch it below.

Excluding the multiplayer Comrades expansion, Episode Ardyn marks the fourth DLC chapter Square Enix has released for Final Fantasy XV. The previous three, Episode Gladio, Episode Prompto, and Episode Ignis, each revolved around protagonist Noctis’s retainers.

Episode Ardyn wasn’t intended to be Final Fantasy XV’s last DLC. Square Enix originally had three other DLC episodes planned for the game, but the publisher announced back in November that those have been canceled, and Final Fantasy XV director Hajime Tabata has left the company. Square Enix also said that Luminous, the subsidiary developing the DLC, is now devoting its resources to making a new AAA game, although no further details were shared.

Fantastic Four’s Return Was Definitely Worth the Wait

Without the Fantastic Four, there wouldn’t be a Marvel Universe. Although Marvel Comics as an entity existed prior, the shared reality where beloved heroes like Spider-Man and the Avengers operate was properly introduced in the pages of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby’s Fantastic Four #1 in 1961, and the eponymous team has been a flagship franchise for the company for over half a century.

Yet despite their importance, the F4’s mainline comic title was cancelled in 2015 for reasons all but confirmed to be because Fox, not Marvel, owns the team’s movie rights. Three long years later, the Disney-Fox merger is on the way and Marvel’s First Family has finally reunited in a new series headed up by writer Dan Slott. But after all that turmoil, was the Fantastic Four’s return worth the wait?
