Apex Legends Kings Canyon Gets Massive Changes In Season 5

In the Apex Legends Season 5 gameplay trailer, we see the first few shots of what happens to Kings Canyon when the new season starts next week. It’s a lot more than the destruction of Skull Town–much of Apex Legends‘ original map has changed.

In the screenshots embedded beneath the video below, you can see how Kings Canyon has changed. Loba‘s actions in the Season 5 launch trailer completely destroyed both Skull Town and Thunderdome, revealing a new underground area for squads to explore. Almost on the opposite side of the map, a new installation dominates the previously more rural area of Kings Canyon.

Alongside Loba, Season 5 adds a brand-new battle pass and cosmetics to Apex Legends. The season implements Quests as well, a new story-focused mode that adds a PvE option to Respawn’s battle royale. Like the battle pass and daily/weekly challenges, Quests seems aimed at getting you to play Apex Legends almost every day–the new mode encourages you to drop into matches in order to unlock chapters in the mysterious new The Broken Ghost questline.

“Caught between the Apex Games and Hammond Robotics, Loba is spinning a web of lies and deceit in her personal quest for vengeance–but how far is she willing to go?” Respawn writes in a blog post about The Broken Ghost. “How does the Broken Ghost fit into her plans for Revenant? And what happens when one legend stumbles upon the truth? See a side of the legends’ lives you’ve never seen before–outside of the Games! Alliances will be formed, friendships will be tested, vendettas will be born, and when the dust settles, nothing will be the same again in a mystery that has far-reaching consequences for them all.”

All The Xbox Series X Games Confirmed So Far

Quite a few games have been announced for the next-generation consoles, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5–enough to start compiling a list. In the video above, Jordan Ramée details all of the games currently scheduled to release for Xbox Series X.

For the most part, the video lists all of the games in alphabetical order. Without release dates for most of the games coming to next-gen systems, it’s a little too difficult to list them out in the order you’ll be able to play them.

In total, there are 30 games currently scheduled to release on Xbox Series X. Some are re-releases of games-as-a-service titles, like Rainbow Six Siege and Warframe, while others are brand-new games, such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Cyberpunk 2077. It’s not all AAA games, either–there are a few indie games already confirmed for Xbox Series X, like Call of the Sea and Chorus.

The video only covers games confirmed to release or launch on Xbox Series X–games like Starfield and The Elder Scrolls VI are left off. Given how far off games like that are, they’ll most likely release on next-generation consoles like Xbox Series X, but we don’t know that for sure yet.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 Confirmed For PS5 In New Trailer

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will be coming to both PS4 and PS5, as confirmed in a new trailer for the blood-sucking RPG just a day after its appearance on the Inside Xbox next-gen showcase.

The trailer features a Christmas theme to its grotesque scenes. The opening has a family strung up with hooks around their mouths, stretching their lifeless faces into a smile as a vampire dances around them. As far as tone-setting scenes go, it’s pretty striking.

There are snippets of gameplay too, showing off some abilities you’ll have in combat. These include telekinetic powers that allow you to yank weapons from enemies’ hands, and others that let you summon bats to disorientate foes before you lunge in for the kill.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 was shown off during Microsoft Xbox Series X focused Inside Xbox stream yesterday, which confirmed that the game will support the console’s Smart Delivery program. Although this trailer confirms that Bloodlines 2 will come to both PS4 and PS5, Sony has yet to confirm whether or not its new console will feature a similar purchasing program. You can pre-order Bloodlines 2 right now, and choose between multiple special editions.

Amazon’s Best Original Series In 2020 Is Renewed For Season 2

While we’ve all been hit with delays from movies and TV shows, thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, there are still plenty of shining diamonds in the world of streaming services, like Amazon’s Upload. The recently released series from Greg Daniels (one of the creators of The Office) has now been renewed for Season 2.

If you missed out on the new series, drop what you’re doing and watch it now. Just days after the release of Season 1, the announcement for a Season 2 comes, but no episode count for the follow-up run has been revealed at this time.

“I am thrilled to continue a great relationship with Amazon Studios and this wonderful cast and find out what happens next to Nora and Nathan and Ingrid and their 2033 world,” said Daniels in a statement. “With this news, I can stop drawing my season two flip book.”

“In Upload, Greg Daniels delivered a smart, cinematic comedy crackling with intrigue and it has clearly delighted our customers who have spent a lot of time in Lakeview this past week,” said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios, “We know our global fans want to see the next chapter with Nathan and Nora so we are greenlighting Season Two and are excited that Greg’s passion project has found such a devoted audience.”

The new series takes place in 2033 and follows Nathan Brown (Robbie Amell), a man who dies in a car wreck and makes the hasty decision to upload his consciousness into a virtual world where he forms a relationship with Nora Antony (Andy Allo), an “angel” who works at the company that hosts the virtual world.

However, that’s all surface level, as the show is really a satire of how far technology will eventually go, whether it’s self-driving cars, virtual sex, or in-app (more like in-virtual world) purchases.

Season 1 of Upload is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

Destiny 2 – Where Is Xur? Exotic Vendor Location Guide 5/8 – 5/12

Despite the fact that it was recently nerfed, Hard Light is still worth having in the Crucible this season–and Xur is the place to get the Exotic auto rifle. The Agent of the Nine is back once again; check out the video above to see where you can find Xur and what he’s offering this week. You can find more details in our written Xur guide.

Hard Light isn’t quite as lethal as it has been throughout the Season of the Worthy, but it’s still an exceptional PvP weapon right now. It’s the gun Xur is offering this week, and if you haven’t got one, this is a good opportunity to snag it. Not only does it have low damage falloff at range and ricochet rounds that get bonus damage, but you can change its elemental affinity by reloading, allowing you to take down enemy shields with ease in PvE situations, too.

Xur also offers his weekly Fated Exotic Engram that lets you pick up a piece of equipment you don’t already own, so if you’re looking to fill out your collection, don’t sleep on your weekend opportunity to visit ol’ Snake Face.

Get 54 Steam Games For Under $40 In Latest Square Enix Bundle Benefiting Charity

Earlier this week, Square Enix had a great JRPG bundle on Steam for $50 that benefitted charity. While the Stay Home and Play JRPG Collection is no longer available, a new Square Enix bundle has taken its place. To say the bundle is fantastic would be an understatement. It’s honestly one of the best values we’ve seen. The Square Enix Eidos Anthology costs $39.24 and contains a staggering 54 games that are valued at $784.80. Like the JRPG bundle, all Square Enix revenue will be donated to food banks and charities in North America and Europe.

If you like Tomb Raider, this bundle is worth it for the Lara Croft-starring games alone. You get 14 Tomb Raider games, including Tomb Raider (2013), Rise of the Tomb Raider, and older titles like Tomb Raider: Legend and Tomb Raider: Anniversary. The entire Deus Ex franchise is also featured in the bundle, including the stellar Deus Ex: Manking Divided.

Other prominently-featured Square Enix franchises include Thief, Legacy of Kain, Kane and Lynch, and Just Cause (the first three games). You’ll also snag one-off titles like Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition and the underrated action-adventure Mini Ninjas.

While the collection focuses heavily on action games, it also has some narrative-focused adventures like Life is Strange, Goetia, and The Turing Test.

The Square Enix Eidos Anthology is an extremely cost efficient way to stock up on Steam games. Given the fact many of us are spending more time at home, it’s the perfect time for this truly fantastic bundle, and it’s even more worthwhile knowing that your money is going to a great cause. You can see the full list of games below. It’s unclear how long the bundle will be up for grabs, but considering the last Square Enix Steam bundle only lasted a few days, you should buy it as soon as possible. While this bundle is one of the best gaming deals around, if you’re looking for PS4, Switch, and Xbox One game discounts, there are plenty to be found in our best digital game deals roundup.
