Respawn has released a new patch for its free battle royale game, Apex Legends. This update only applies to the PC version and fixes an exploit that allowed players to get the Apex Legends Twitch Prime Pack without a Prime membership.

Like other Twitch Prime freebies, the aforementioned Apex Legends pack is only intended for those who have Amazon Prime. It contains five Apex Packs–Legends’ equivalent of loot boxes–as well as the exclusive Omega Point skin for the lovable robot Pathfinder, but players were able to get it by modifying the advanced launch options in Origin.

“With this update, the Omega Point Pathfinder skin will be removed from any accounts that obtained it using the exploit,” Respawn said. It’s unclear if the Apex Packs that were also acquired through the exploit will likewise be removed.

If you do have Prime but still haven’t claimed the free Apex Legends pack, you can do so by clicking on the crown-shaped Prime Loot icon on Twitch’s website. The pack is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, but you can only redeem it once, and only on the first platform you log into with your linked EA Account. You can read more in the FAQ.

Apex Legends surprise launched earlier this month and has quickly proven to be a hit, surpassing 25 million players in its first week. It’s also received positive reviews. GameSpot gave it a 9/10 in our Apex Legends review and called it a “competitive, team-based game that gets at all the best parts of battle royale while addressing a lot of the weaknesses.”

If you’re new to Apex Legends, be sure to check out GameSpot’s guides roundup for helpful tips and strategies for each of the game’s playable Legends. Respawn has also said it is looking into complaints about the game’s hitboxes.

NetherRealm is preparing another Mortal Kombat 11 livestream, which will include another kombatant. The third Kombat Kast will take place Wednesday, February 27 at 1 PM PT / 10 AM ET. This time, the studio isn’t playing coy with what they’ll be revealing, as the announcement tweet directly states that it will host a “kharacter reveal.” You can watch the stream right here on GameSpot.

The studio followed up with a tweet teasing the character reveal. It’s a very vague look, but given the attitude, fans have speculated that it’s Johnny Cage.

We could have guessed the stream would include a new character. Both of the previous Kombat Kast streams have debuted a character–Kabal in the first and Jade in the second. Those join old favorites like Scorpion, Sonya Blade, and Kano, along with new additions like the time manipulator Geras. No Shaggy, though. You can check out the full roster so far.

The new fighter debuts tend to include an overview of their abilities and a lengthy, utterly gross look at one of their fatalities.

This game introduces “kosmetic” options, with tons of loot and character variations so you can kustomize your fighter as much as you kare. Check out all the skins we’ve seen so far. A beta is planned for March 28 for those who pre-order, and then the game will release on April 23. Check out our pre-order guide for all of the various versions of the game, including the pricey $300 edition that includes a wearable Scorpion mask.

Warner Bros. and The Pokemon Company have shared a new trailer for Detective Pikachu, the upcoming live-action movie based on the game of the same name. Alongside it, the companies have revealed a new Detective Pikachu movie poster, which contains a ton of subtle references and Easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans to spot.

Just as the trailer, the poster features a number of new Pokemon that hadn’t previously been seen in the movie. The most obvious are the two Aipom hanging out on the Detective Pikachu logo, but you can also spot Treecko and Loudred by the neon signs in the lower lefthand corner of the poster. Even further below, you can see Snorlax, in typical fashion, in the middle of the street blocking traffic.

Most interesting, however, is Mewtwo. The Legendary Psychic Pokemon appears toward the end of the new trailer, and it can be spotted in the distance standing atop the farthest building to the left. Just what Mewtwo’s role in the film will be remains a mystery, but the Legendary Pokemon also played a major part in the Detective Pikachu game.

Much like the 3DS game, the Detective Pikachu movie follows the story of Tim (Justice Smith), who has the unique ability to understand Pokemon. His father, a famous private detective, has gone missing, so Tim teams up with Pikachu (Ryan Reynolds) to investigate his disappearance. The cast also includes Kathryn Newton (Blockers), Ken Watanabe (Godzilla, Inception), and Bill Nighy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows).

Detective Pikachu arrives in theaters on May 10. The movie is directed by Rob Letterman, who previously helmed Goosebumps, Captain Underpants, and Shark Tale. In addition to the new trailer, Warner Bros. recently released a humorous promotional video for Detective Pikachu, in which Ryan Reynolds discusses the different methods he used to fully inhabit the role of the iconic Pokemon.

Who’s coming back to finish the fight?

Plenty of video games have had distinctive art styles but few have managed to soar quite as high as Cuphead, the vintage cartoon inspired run-and-gun that took the world by storm back in 2017–and fans are going to have a chance to relive all that visual magic this coming October.

From Dark Horse Comics and Studio MDHR, Cuphead is getting a brand new, oversized, 160-page art book full of early concepts, hand drawn frames, and retro designs as Cuphead and his pal Mugman worked to reclaim their souls from the devil. And that’s not all–the game’s stunning artwork will be accompanied by commentary and insight from game directors Chad and Jared Moldenhauer.

In our review, we cited Cuphead’s art as a major asset of the challenging side-scrolling game. “But difficult battles only tell half of the story. Cuphead’s 1930s cartoon aesthetic is endlessly charming, popping with color and expression unlike anything seen at this scale in a video game before. The sheer variety of characters and settings yields consistent delight as you go from one stage to the next, with everything bearing the telltale signs of grainy ’30s film and rudimentary production techniques. Cel-shading means something to a lot of people, but Cuphead truly re-creates the look of hand-drawn cel animation.”

Want even more Cuphead goodness to tide you over until October? Cuphead is getting its very first DLC–“The Delicious Last Course”–this year! We’ve got a look at just what to expect here from Studio MDHR themselves.

The Art of Cuphead goes on sale October 22 and is available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, TFAW, and at your local comic shop for $30.
