Stegmaier is the designer of Scythe, a novel strategy board game released in 2016, one that is beloved by fans and critics alike. He’s set to release the third and final expansion for that game, called Scythe: The Rise of Fenris, at this year’s Gen Con in Indianapolis. Finally, the Fenris expansion itself is entirely modular. That means each of the new features unlocked during the eight-game campaign can be used to create unique, one-off matches. That means you can play the eight-game campaign a

Bandai Namco’s action role-playing game Code Vein won’t make its previously scheduled September release date. Code Vein was first revealed in April 2017. The game draws inspiration from the Dark Souls franchise, which is also published by Bandai Namco, and features vampire-like player characters known as the Vein. For more, check out our hands-on gameplay and impressions from when we played Code Vein earlier this year. Code Vein is in development for PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.

Sea of Thieves has been working to deliver content at a steady clip. The Sunken Curse is the newest weekly event, and it’s all about going underwater to, well, stop a curse that has sunken. There’s also the small matter of this weekly event being centered around a curse. We’ve been told that future Sea of Thieves content will be more heavily lore-based and we can see bigger stories being told through campaigns. If the release schedule of Gunpowder Skeletons into The Sunken Curse holds steady, we

Several elusive Pokémon have been found within Pokémon Go’s code, with all of them shown off last night as part of a livestream reveal. These sprites include the obvious, like legendaries that Niantic has promised are on the way, as well as some especially well-hidden ones. Certain third-generation monsters, like Nincada and its two evolutions, have been left out of the wild since the Hoenn region’s Pokémon began to appear in the game last year. In the case of Nincada, it’s possible that its hig

Emperor Palpatine, one of several playable heroes and villains in Star Wars Battlefront 2, was taken out of the game five days ago by its developers at EA DICE. Fans think it may have to do with Palpatine’s Force lightning power. His chain lightning was at one point capable of targeting opponents through walls, before DICE tweaked that issue earlier this year. Players speculate that DICE brought back the Emperor’s original lightning abilities, either inadvertently otherwise, and that’s why Palpa

Capcom is continuing to ride the wave of Monster Hunter’s success with a computer-animated special, the company announced today. Set to premiere in 2019, the developer is working with Western production company Pure Imagination Studios on this latest iteration of the franchise. Monster Hunter: Legends of the Guild will tell the story of a male warrior who leaves his unassuming hometown to take down a dangerous Elder Dragon. Also attached to the project is writer Joshua Fine, whose best-known cre

— Palmer HaaschWonder Woman 1984 (2019)A sequel to the highly successful Wonder Woman movie is in production. “I think the cast should be diverse in everything we do,” Fisher said to ComicBook at a press event for Justice League. Flashpoint follows Barry Allen as he travels back into time to save his mother, returning to a world so dramatically different that the Justice League doesn’t exist. In the meantime, check out this neat thread of concept art from Joseph Kahn’s original Justice League Da

Hot on the heels of his show-stealing reprisal as Luis in Marvel’s Ant-Man and the Wasp, Michael Peña stars in the Netflix original film Extinction, looking considerably less goofy and considerably more in peril. It’s not clear at first what the threat is — only that Peña’s character is the only one who believes his harrowing visions may one day become reality. There’s a pivotal moment in the trailer when it becomes apparent that the crisis is no longer a premonition. Peña’s character’s visions

One of the Wii U’s best efforts, the charming puzzle-action game Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker comes to Nintendo Switch (and Nintendo 3DS systems) this week, giving Nintendo fans an opportunity to atone for the sin of missing it the first time around. Not much has changed for the Switch version of Captain Toad. The goal in most levels is to walk (or quickly waddle) Captain Toad or Toadette toward a glittering gold star. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker has its roots in the Super Mario Bros. serie

The most ambitious crossover in cinematic history is gearing up for a home video release. If Avengers: Infinity War left you wanting more from your favorite Marvel heroes, and if Reddit bans and Twitter memes aren’t quite filling the void of the Avengers, never fear. The in-home version of Infinity War comes with a Thanos-sized arsenal of special features. Avengers: Infinity War will be available on digital platforms such as iTunes and Vudu on July 31. Fingers crossed, because Starlin reportedly

Today only, all tech at eBay is 10 percent off with code PRIMOTECH. The code works on all tech products, including sale items. It’s hard not to notice that “PRIMO” is one letter away from a certain shopping holiday that’s been dominating deals Twitter and shopping news during the month of July. Despite the Amazon thirst, eBay’s sale is a good alternative for non-Prime members or for impatient folks who are ready to make a big tech purchase right now. Ten percent off isn’t huge, but there are sti

Price’s response makes perfect sense in that context, and is the sort of social media venting that is hardly seen as scandalous in 2018. Leaders would look at the situation, de-escalate the rhetoric and maybe put a more robust social media policy in place. He walked into a common gaming situation and poured gasoline onto a fire that was never that big to begin with. But on some level, they need to have these social media presences, and be contactable. “I had, in my time there, zero warnings abou

In Destiny 2: Forsaken, players will come up against the Scorn, a deadly group of mutated Fallen. While these beasts may look like the familiar enemies from Destiny, they behave very differently in all of their new forms. Rather than take cover like many of the other enemies in Destiny, the Scorn will push until one of you is dead. ChieftainsChieftains are the final new enemy type being added in Destiny 2: Forsaken. Destiny 2: Forsaken will be released for PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One

One of the best things about the Nintendo Switch is its portability. But Anker claims that its new portable chargers, additions to its popular PowerCore line, were specifically calibrated with the Nintendo Switch in mind. The new PowerCore chargers are the only Nintendo-certified portable Switch chargers currently on the market and come embossed with the familiar Switch logo. The PowerCore 20100 Nintendo Switch Edition provides up to an additional 15 hours of playtime on a single charge while th

Related The Sims 4 Seasons gets back to what the Sims series does bestEven those Sims players who disdain this style of play take frustrations out on their Sim neighbors. Neighborhood Brawl flips that, turning the other occupants of the town into roving gangs of hostile attackers. The Sims 4: Seasons shines when it chooses to focus on the weird moments of Sim life. Another day, her ex-girlfriend stormed her house and took advantage of Neighborhood Brawl to take revenge for an unceremonious dumpi

If the Marvel Cinematic Universe has one single recurring theme in its most recent movies, it’s family. Somehow, against virtually all odds, this movie managed to turn Hank Pym into a pretty likable guy, and that — if you’ve read his comics — is pretty wild. Stability, emotional or otherwise, was never really Hank’s forte. All of which is to say Hank Pym isn’t a guy you’re supposed to be properly rooting for, even now. The MCU isn’t about Hank Pym, and Hank Pym is pretty okay with that.

In the Don DeLillo adaptation, Pattinson stars as a young billionaire who is ferried across New York as he loses wealth but gains a prostate exam. He was being offered movies, interesting movies, with directors who wanted to get something more out of him. Pattinson’s IMDB page lists two more movies in post-production, three in pre-production and one that’s filming. He’s laundering himself across Hollywood, enabling great movies in some Sisyphean attempt to clear his name of blockbuster work like

Joaquin Phoenix is the latest actor to step into the Clown Prince’s shoes, teaming up with director Todd Phillips (The Hangover) to tell the Joker’s origin story in an upcoming film. Previous rumors suggested that Leto could play the Joker in Phillips’ movie, but that’s apparently no longer the case. Leto is set to reprise his role as the Joker in another stand-alone film, however. That means there are at least two stand-alone Joker films in development at Warner Bros. The Joker is also rumored

Disney’s latest trailer for Christopher Robin strings together an abundance of “Pooh” puns and adorable jokes, while leaving a little room for some emotional scenes, too. This trailer gives us a better look at Winnie the Pooh’s adventures through London, as he nestles himself under Robin’s arms and sits across from him in a train compartment. The focus on this trailer seems to be on Pooh’s relationship with Robin, now a much older man living with his family in London, as they try to reunite the

Instead, the channel will skip ahead to the following one in the season — leaving a Pokémon episode unaired stateside for the first time since 2002. The Pokémon Company seemingly choosing to hold back an episode from the West is a surprising, but not unprecedented, move. !” in Japanese, and involves Ash Ketchum developing serious sympathy for a tribe of the lemur-like Pokémon Passimian. She’s since been updated to have a purple face instead, but the original episode remains unchanged. Some fans
