The second week of Fortnite’s fifth season started this morning, and with it comes a challenge you might find pretty tricky to complete: “Search between an oasis, rock archway and dinosaurs.”Off of the name alone, you’d be right in assuming the end location is in the newly added desert, but where exactly? We’ll show you:As you can see, you’re aiming for a spot that’s north of the unnamed town in the southeastern part of the map. The Battle Star is on the side of that mountain. You can see them j

The first trailer for DC and Warner Bros.’ new live-action TV series, Titans, comes with a very strongly worded message: “Fuck Batman.”Titans, one of the most anticipated series launching alongside DC Universe, a new streaming service from the comics publisher, is a gritty reimagining of the comic publisher’s popular Teen Titans collective. The trailer introduces a brooding Robin taking on a group of criminals, and introduces Robin, Star-Fire and Beast Boy. Although Titans is produced by wonder

Next week, Rockstar Games will release a major update for Grand Theft Auto Online, the sprawling multiplayer mode for Grand Theft Auto 5. The update, After Hours, will let players operate a “top shelf” nightclub, which they can co-run with Tony Prince, aka “Gay Tony,” who longtime fans of the series will likely know best from Grand Theft Auto 4’s The Ballad of Gay Tony add-on. Grand Theft Auto Online: After Hours will be released on July 24. The expansion will add real-world DJs Solomun, Tale Of

Epic Games’ first Summer Skirmish tournament this past Saturday saw two players emerge victorious and walking away with $50,000, but not without controversy. Blizzard never addressed how past actions, including outside of the game, could affect a professional player’s active role on a team’s roster. Greeley said “there was no real differentiation” between a professional player competing in a tournament for actual prize money, and that same player hanging out in their home and streaming. Epic Gam

Nintendo Switch eShop big headliners are a pair of Mega Man compilations, which make the entire Mega Man X series available on the console. In the exact opposite direction is Lost Phones Stories. We’ve talked about the Lost Phone games before, so you may already know that each one — A Normal Lost Phone and Another Lost Phone — plays on our voyeuristic curiosity about other people’s smartphones and turns it into an emotionally complicated adventure. Plus, they don’t take long, so that Lost Phones

On June 27, Epic Games released Fortnite’s Playground Mode and for one brief moment it seemed like the entire Fortnite community descended on the game at the same time, all in the hope of trying out the highly anticipated mode. Unfortunately, under the weight of so many players trying to start games, Fortnite’s matchmaking system crumbled and Playground had to be taken down for a few days of maintenance. So, on Wednesday night, the company released a detailed explanation of what happened to Play

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds developer PUBG Corp. is bringing back one of the game’s most popular limited-time modes, Metal Rain. For those that don’t remember, Metal Rain is the PUBG event that allows players to find flare guns out in the world, then shoot them into the sky to call down care packages. If a player fires a flare gun inside the safe zone, it will spawn a special care package. Metal Rain will be available to play on the Erangel map only, and is playable in most regions in either t

The first movie we saw in theaters after his birth was The Dark Knight. There’s no denying that The Dark Knight is one of the best interpretations of the vigilante ever. I’m not afraid of exposing my son to the PG-13-inching-towards-R content of The Dark Knight. Hausu shares the core message of The Dark Knight: chaos reigns. When I pitched this article, my editor asked me if my son, just about to turn 11, would finally watch The Dark Knight.

Pokémon Channel for Nintendo GameCube launched 15 years ago, on July 18, 2003, and has since become a curiosity in the franchise’s canon. To most Pokémon players, Pokémon Channel probably sounds horrifically boring. You just sit and watch TV with a buddy you can’t understand. That’s what happens with Pikachu every time you sit down to watch TV with it. Pokémon Channel gave us the chance to do that, and only that.

In each episode of Quality Control, a Polygon writer talks to a critic about a new game, movie or piece of gear. In this week’s special episode, Charlie Hall invited Polygon’s Allegra Frank who is just back from Chicago where she attended the second Pokémon Go Fest held in that city. Last year, Chicago was the scene of Pokémon Go’s first major event to be held in the United States. From the sound of it, just about everything went wrong. From overloaded cell towers to faulty servers to an impress

With Destiny 2: Forsaken, players will be introduced to a new raid — which we believe is called the Keep of Voices. The locationWe don’t actually know for sure that the new raid is called the Keep of Voices. A Guardian-sized raid boss would be interesting, but presents certain problems for how most raid fights have worked in the past. Joe Blackburn, the lead raid designer for Destiny 2, tweeted something interesting about the final raid boss. Mara also has the same, human-sized problem with bein
