Fortnite Chapter 4 Season 1 is drawing to a close very soon, but there’s still plenty of new content here in the season’s final update. In addition to that sick new Adonis Creed outfit from Creed III that’s dropping in the item shop this week, this update is bringing us the return of the extremely retro Six Shooter and Infantry Rifle weapons and a new kind of quest that will require a little bit more brainpower than usual.

Most of these new Cipher Quests will come in your standard quest form: It tells you what your objective is. These are unencrypted Cipher Quests. But you’ll also find quests that are encrypted, and you’ll have to use your smarts to figure out what you’re supposed to actually do. You have to complete each encrypted ques…

New Lord of the Rings movies are in the works, and actor Andy Serkis–who starred in the original series as Gollum–has said he is interested in coming back… under one particular condition.

Appearing on the Post-Credit Podcast, Serkis said he would “jump at the chance” to return to The Lord of the Rings if the opportunity came up. Serkis went on to say that if the key minds behind the original trilogy–Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens–came back, he might, too. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Those three are “sort of a second family” for Serkis, he said (via DigitalSpy).

“And–let me tell you–they are the best and most incredible people to work with. I think that there are so many other p…

When I was a kid, Optimus Prime seemed to me like everything a leader should be: intelligent, compassionate, and, of course, capable of turning into a truck. It’s been frustrating in recent years to see the Transformers become defined in this generation not by the charm and personality of the original cartoon but by the cacophonous stupidity and visual chaos of the Michael Bay films. I always hope that video games might be the one area where the Transformers can be redeemed. Alas, Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is not the game that redeems them.

Though it’s developed by Edge of Reality, Rise of the Dark Spark’s action is closely modeled on developer High Moon’s games War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron Come from S…

When Season 14 arrives in December for Overwatch 2, Blizzard will bring back 6v6 matches with two different tests. The original game featured those team sizes, but the sequel controversially replaced that setup with 5v5 competitions. Come from Sports betting site VPbet

Overwatch 2 director Aaron Keller detailed the upcoming 6v6 experiments on the game’s website. The first test should land during the first week of Season 14 (currently scheduled to launch December 10) and will incorporate team compositions of “at least 1 of each role, and no more than 3.” Then, in the middle of Season 14, Overwatch 2 will try out “the classic 2-2-2 composition” with a few changes.

Payday 3 is still coming, and now we’ve learned that developer Starbreeze has cut a deal with Koch Media where Koch will pay €50 million ($59 million USD) to assist with the game’s development and marketing. This mega-deal spans development of the base game and more than 18 months’ worth of post-launch support, as Payday 3 will embrace the games-as-a-service model.

Thanks to this investment, Payday 3 is now “fully financed,” Starbreeze said in a news release. The game isn’t releasing anytime soon, however, as it’s slated to debut in 2023 on console and PC.

The news release also mentions that Starbreeze remains the owner of the Payday IP. The franchise has proven to be extremely successful with 28 million “installed base games” so far. You can see a new image of Payday 3 ab…

American land-based casino operator Bally’s Corporation has reportedly agreed a deal that could see it part with approximately $2.7 billion so as to purchase British iGaming software developer Gamesys Group.

According to a Wednesday report from the Bloomberg news service, the firm revealed that the arrangement would involve it paying around $2.54 for every one of the London-headquartered firm’s outstanding shares, which would represent a 13% premium when compared with their Tuesday closing price.

Significant support:

Bally’s Corporation reportedly disclosed that such a transaction must now be approved by a majority of its target’s shareholders before receiving ‘regulatory approvals’ although Gamesys Group founders Robin Tombs, Andrew Dixon and Noel Hayden …
