Destiny 2‘s weekly Exotic vendor is back again, bringing a fresh batch of Exotics to help you fill out your Year One collection. This week, you can find the enigmatic servant of the Nine on Io, where he’s waiting with his usual crop: an Exotic weapon, a piece of Exotic armor for each character class, and a Fated Engram, which gives you a single Year One Exotic that you don’t already have in your Collections.

Watch how to get to Xur and what he’s carrying in the video above, and read our Xur guide for this weekend for all the details

With Destiny 2’s holiday event, The Dawning, taking place this weekend, there’s another reason to visit Xur while he’s around.

You’ll want to make sure to bring a batch of Strange Cookies to Xur in order to knock out all the Triumphs that come with the event.

If you aren’t sure how to make Strange Cookies, good news–we have a complete guide of Dawning recipes and a rundown of how to earn the special Exotic sparrow, Dawning Cheer.

Titan has published a variety of comics based on Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise this past year, but one of the more notable has been Assassin’s Creed: Conspiracies, a two-part standalone series previously only available in French. If you missed out on the individual issues and would like to experience the saga in its entirety, Titan has announced it is releasing both parts together as one graphic novel, and it hits comic stores next week.

The Assassin’s Creed: Conspiracies collection releases on December 18, and it combines both issues of the series into one 104-page graphic novel. Unlike any of the video games, Conspiracies is set during World War II and follows the story of Eddie Gorm, a rookie member of the Assassin Brotherhood who must stop the Templars from unleashing an atomic weapon. Here’s Titan’s synopsis of the series:

“Europe, World War II: On the sidelines of the race for the atomic bomb, discover the story of Eddie Gorm and his integration into the Assassin Brotherhood while he infiltrates the Templars to foil their plan to create a devastating weapon.”

Assassin’s Creed: Conspiracies is written by Guillaume Dorison, with artwork by Jean-Baptise Hostache and Patrick Pion. Ahead of its release, Titan has provided GameSpot an exclusive preview of the upcoming collection. You can click through the gallery below to read a 10-page excerpt from the graphic novel.

Conspiracies certainly isn’t the only Assassin’s Creed comic from Titan this year. The publisher has also released new issues in its Assassin’s Creed Origins series, which picks up after the events of the Assassin’s Creed Origins game and features historical figures such as Cleopatra. Most recently, Titan published the final chapter of Assassin’s Creed Uprising, which concludes the Phoenix Project saga introduced in Assassin’s Creed Unity.

Need a good reason to return to Dishonored 2 and its standalone DLC episode, Death of the Outsider, over the holidays? Bethesda has one–fire up the games and you’ll unlock free new content, plus an old preorder bonus from before Dishonored 2 was released.

Publisher Bethesda announced the release of new content for Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider in a blog post. It runs down the two new offerings for both Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider. First is a Black and White mode that can change the feel of the game pretty significantly. Only one thing maintains its color when you turn on the black and white filter: blood. Sounds suitably noir, and as Bethesda puts it, extremely moody.

The second content addition is a Mission+ mode. Fire that up, and you can revisit any of the missions from either Dishonored or Death of the Outsider with all weapons and powers unlocked. The idea is to let you mess around with the full compliment of killing abilities available in the game, so you’re free to experiment as you see fit with no constraints.

Finally, you can also get the Imperial Assassin’s Pack in Dishonored 2, which was originally offered as a preorder bonus that comes with various in-game goodies:

• Duelist’s Luck bone charm
• Void Favor bone charm
• In-game Antique Serkonan Guitar for Emily or Corvo to interact with
• In-game book: Goodbye, Karnaca – A Musician’s Farewell
• 500 bonus coins

While the new stuff in Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider is free, it does require a step to unlock. You’ll need to login to a Bethesda account from the main menu screen of both games to get your new content. If you don’t have one, you can register for a Bethesda account on the publisher’s website, Bethesda.net.

When you weren’t looking, Titans somehow became the best DC adaptation on TV. Now, with it’s Season 1 finale, the DC Universe original series looks to be doubling down on just how insane things can get in this world of vigilantes. Thus far, we’ve met two Robins–Dick Grayson and Jason Todd. And it’s about time Batman showed up.

The Batman shown in the trailer, though, likely isn’t the one you’re used to. This Batman has snapped, and he’s on a murderous rampage. As the two-minute clip reveals, Commissioner Gordon is dead and, as a means of revenge, Batman is set on killing the Joker.

This dark turn fits in well with the tone of what we’ve seen from Titans so far, but pitting Robin against Batman is a major moment for DC lore. With Bruce Wayne so off the rails and only Dick to stop him, the Season 1 finale could be one of the most epic DC moments we’ve ever seen play out in live action.

Of course, that all depends on just how willing Titans is to show Batman. Thus far, he’s been mentioned quite a bit and shown in the shadows. The trailer includes a lot more of the Caped Crusader, though we never see his face–every shot is from behind.

Given that this episode is being promoted at Robin vs. Batman, it seems as though they’ll have to show Batman–and give him a voice. At this point, though, no casting for the Dark Knight has been announced.

Whatever the case, the trailer of blood he’s leaving throughout Gotham city–we see the bodies of Two-Face, Riddler, and the Joker in the trailer–is pretty disturbing. The death of Commissioner Gordon would surely impact Batman on a deep level, but will Titans commit to making him the villain he’s painted as in the trailer?

Thankfully, you’re only going to have to wait a week to find out. The Season 1 finale of Titans premieres on Friday, December 21, on DC Universe.

It wasn’t long ago that Warner Bros. Entertainment released a statement regarding rumors of Henry Cavill’s exit from the Superman role. Now, nearly three months after those rumors began circulating, Aquaman star and fellow Justice League member Jason Momoa has attempted to dispel any uncertainty about Cavill hanging up the cape.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Momoa talked to the publication during a premiere of the recently released DC film, Aquaman. In the exclusive interview, Momoa said Cavill isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. “I just talked to Henry… He’s absolutely not [leaving the character],” he told ET. “[Cavill] loves the character. He’s not. One hundred percent.”

It was rumored back in September that Cavill would no longer play the role of Superman after negotiations of a cameo in the forthcoming Shazam film fell through. What followed was a series of posts from both Cavill and Warner Bros., with the British actor posting a bizarre video to Instagram and Warner Bros. saying, “While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged.”

What caused Cavill to pull out from the Shazam cameo was not a lack of interest from the British actor or a fallout between him and Warner Bros., but a scheduling conflict between Shazam, which stars Asher Angel (Jolene, Andi Mack) and Zachary Levi (Tangled, Thor: The Dark World), and the latest entry in the Mission Impossible franchise, Mission Impossible: Fallout.

Neither Henry Cavill nor Warner Bros. have commented on Momoa’s statements. In our Aquaman review, we called the film “a movie with its own over the top, tongue in cheek, inconsistent, massive, irreverent, CGI-soaked tone, aesthetic, and world.”

Aquaman is scheduled to hit theatres on December 21.

With Christmas rapidly approaching, Bandai Namco Entertainment’s asked Santa Claus to deliver a gift early. He’s obliged, and on December 18 the company’s 3D fighting game, SoulCalibur VI, will add NieR: Automata‘s 2B to its growing list of playable characters.

The announcement comes via the company’s official UK Twitter account. As noted by Comic Book, no price for the additional character has been revealed yet, but there’s speculation that she could cost an estimated $5.99 (or free for those who purchased the Deluxe Edition).

Bandai Namco initially revealed the addition of Yoko Taro’s character back in October. The official SoulCalibur Twitter account posted a video of the announcement to the social media site, confirming that “2B from @NieRGame joins the battle of souls and swords in #SOULCALIBUR VI!” This came just seven months after The Witcher‘s Geralt of Rivia was confirmed as a playable character.

2B, whose full name is YoRHa No.2 Type B (with “B” standing for Battle), is the game’s third DLC character. The game’s season pass includes five DLC packs–three additional characters, two sets of creation parts–and Tira as a bonus playable character.

In our SoulCalibur VI review, we called it “a fighting game that’s easy to recommend” with “a low barrier to entry and high skill ceiling” that has “some of the most substantial single-player content in any fighting game today.” Soul Calibur VI is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Less than a week after it first arrived, Fortnite‘s controversial new weapon, the Infinity Blade, has been removed. Developer Epic Games announced that it is vaulting the sword across all modes due to its notable impact on the game’s balance and the lack of any reliable counters to it.

“We messed up and rolled out the Infinity Blade overpowered / without good counters, especially in the end game,” Epic wrote. “The Infinity Blade has been Vaulted and we are re-evaluating our approach to Mythic items. Thanks for calling us out on this!”

The Infinity Blade arrived in Fortnite earlier this week as part of the game’s 7.01 update. Unlike other weapons you can pick up in the game, only one sword spawns per match, and it appears in the same location each time: in a pedestal atop Polar Peak, which makes the start of every round a mad dash to get the sword.

Much like the Infinity Gauntlet from the short-lived Thanos LTM, the Infinity Blade grants its wielder incredible powers, including increased max health and shields, increased movement speed, and more. While it’s still possible to kill the player wielding the sword, it’s clear that the first person who manages to pick it up is at a big advantage. Epic’s decision to remove it completely from the game comes shortly after the developer had said that it would reduce the Infinity Blade’s effectiveness.

It’s unclear if or when Epic plans to reintroduce the Infinity Blade to Fortnite, but the developer mentioned that it is “re-evaluating [its] approach to Mythic items,” suggesting that other special types of weapons may be in the works for the game.

The recently revealed Mortal Kombat 11 is bound to have guest characters, and we may already know the identity of one of them. Spawn creator Todd McFarlane has indicated that the grim and gritty comic book character may be coming to the game.

In a Reddit AMA, McFarlane was asked to allow Spawn in MK11. His answer was a simple, “I believe he’s on his way…” The answer was cryptic and hedging, so this isn’t an absolute guarantee that Spawn will be a guest character. McFarlane may have simply not realized the announcement wasn’t public yet.

Spawn has appeared in a fighting game before, as a guest character in Soulcalibur 2 for the Xbox. The other two console versions, for PlayStation and GameCube, had separate guest characters Heihachi and Link, respectively. McFarlane also created the original character Necrid for that game across all platforms. Mortal Kombat has also started adding guest characters, with inclusions from horror franchises like Jason Vorhees and Leatherface. Netherrealm’s other fighting franchise, Injustice, included a guest appearance from the ninja turtles.

Mortal Kombat 11 was announced at The Game Awards with a trailer that teased a time-hopping plot. It’s already around the corner with an April 23 release date, and a beta will be coming in March. A January 17 event will serve as the gameplay debut. Check out everything we know so far about Mortal Kombat 11.
