Studio Trigger’s anime Kill la Kill is being adapted into an arena-style fighting game by Arc System Works, the studio behind Dragon Ball FighterZ and Guilty Gear Xrd. Arc System Works’ take on the anime is called Kill la Kill the Game: IF, and it’s coming to PlayStation 4 and Windows PC via Steam next year. The Kill la Kill game appears to utilize Arc System Works’ brand of anime-inspired visuals, with cel-shaded characters and a frame rate that mimics animated TV shows. The trailer promises “t

With June’s rocket launch and the resulting mysterious rifts appearing across the sky, anticipation for season five is high. Here’s everything we know about Fortnite season five. What time does Fortnite Season 5 start? The Season 4 Battle Pass also unlocked two skins when it was purchased, so it’s likely that Season 5’s will come with instant rewards as well. This will also unveil a new biome and players will get to explore the arid areas of the Fortnite world.

Talim, the Elbow Blade-brandishing fan favorite Last Priestess of the Winds, returns in Soulcalibur 6 when the fighting game launches in October. Two of those are new to the series — special guest star Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher series and Grøh, an all-new fighter hailing from Norway. Talim first appeared in Soulcalibur 2, which premiered on consoles 15 years ago. She has since appeared in Soulcalibur 3 and 4 and, most recently, Broken Destiny, a 2009 PlayStation Portable title.

Destiny 2’s Prestige raid lairs are finally coming in patch version 1.2.3 on July 17. In This Week at Bungie on Thursday — the weekly news dump from Destiny’s developer — raid lead Joe Blackburn dropped some details on the new world-first race. Originally, the Prestige versions of both raid lairs were set to debut at the same time. However, Blackburn was keen to point out that the purpose of the Prestige raid lairs is to be different every week, not to be raced through as soon as they go live. A

And it’s his story, and his very powerful planeswalker card, that is the seed that the entire Core Set 2019 has been built on. He’s been around since the Legends set in 1994, meaning he’s nearly as old as Mishra and the Phyrexians. In the Core Set 2019 Bolas’ powers are fascinating and potent. As this card was the focus of the set, the set design team decided to give the planeswalker side four loyalty abilities. Then you need to build up enough loyalty to actually use his ultimate ability, somet

But when you see this footage set to the music and sound effects of Metal Gear Solid, it takes on such a new dimension that it’s funny all over again. Twitter-er (and Tumblr-er) Omar Villegas is behind this comical recut, published Tuesday during what has to be the slowest and most unproductive week in United States history. here’s that botched Canadian convenience store robbery set to Metal Gear Solid music pic.twitter.com/LqbCDp0PmC — Omar Villegas (@OmarVillegasLA) July 3, 2018For those famil

“And shit, now I understand why countries have nukes.” No one shot at him, at least for a while. It seems like it would get boring, as a game mode, but we were facing the hour time limit before we knew it. The proliferation of llamas around the map in this mode was very helpful in this regard. After an hour of play I want to jump back in, because Playground mode kept feeding me ideas about what to try next as I raced through all the scenarios in my head. It’s the non-stressful, peaceful way to p

When Billy Krankavitch started eating a printed picture of Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg’s face, he had one goal: to get Kjellberg to eat a picture of his face in return. “The hardest part of this is getting reported,” Krankavitch told Polygon. Securing Kjellberg’s attention left him feeling ecstatic, Krankavitch told Polygon, but everything came crumbling down just a few seconds later. Kjellberg told Krankavitch to stop participating in the challenge on his 46th day — the first time he appeared i

Broaching the topic of a fascist Steve Rogers is, unsurprisingly, a sticky situation. The criticism Secret Empire drew wasn’t just because fans were sad to see their favorite hero break bad. What does that all mean for Marvel’s newest Captain America series? Well, for starters, it means confronting the truth of Steve Rogers’ shifting and multifaceted identity in a brand new way. We see that Coates and Yu’s Captain America #1, but with a twist.

Michelle Pfeiffer’s Janet van Dyne is making her first full appearance in Ant-Man and The Wasp, the 20th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s a late showing — but it seems even later when you know more about Janet van Dyne herself. Van Dyne is also an accomplished leader of superheroes. So wait, who is Hope van Dyne, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Wasp?? Hope van Dyne is a completely original creation for the MCU.

Fortnite Battle Royale offers more than battle royale-style killing sprees. And we may have found the most creative replay mode-made video yet. “Finesse” is a lovely vid on its own, but it’s beyond impressive to see how WiziBlimp makes it their own. Like many Fortnite replays, this one has brought a ton of good vibes into a life that has really, really, really needed some. Watch “Fortnite Finesse” above, and compare it to Bruno Mars’ and Cardi B’s throwback-styled “Finesse (Remix)” video below.

FastStart, which Microsoft announced during its E3 2018 press briefing, lets players jump into a game after downloading a small portion of it. On the other hand, FastStart will make it possible to start playing in half the time compared to waiting for the download to finish, according to Microsoft. At the moment, 23 games support FastStart: 17 on the Xbox One, three on the Xbox 360 and three on the original Xbox. The rest of July’s Xbox update contains relatively minor additions, although many p

Destiny: Guardians is a new version of Destiny 2 coming exclusively to PC in South Korea. The reason for the long delay is due to localization issues, a representative from Blizzard told South Korean news forum Inven — a South Korean news site and forum — during a Q&A session. When Destiny: Guardians launches in South Korea, it will have full Korean text and voice. For the most part, the Korean PC version is the same as the Western one, with one key difference. Polygon has reached out to Bungie/

Brian Michael Bendis’ Man of Steel, a prelude to his imminent storylines in Action Comics and Superman, has been a story framed by mysteries. Who is the barbaric alien warrior, Rogol Zaar, who has suddenly appeared? Where are Superman’s wife and son, Lois Lane and Jon Kent, who seem to have disappeared? And even while he contests with Rogol Zaar, Superman is also busy with a rash of arsons in Metropolis and editorial changes at the Daily Planet. At the end, Supergirl takes it upon herself to sco

Yes, here we are, in the final week of Fortnite Season 4! Before that, though, you should know there’s a new set of challenges added for the final week, including this tricky one: “Search between movie titles.”Well that’s trickier than normal! You’re heading to a spot that’s east of Junk Junction, and slightly south of a small set of warehouses (one of which currently has a sitcom set filming in it). Once there, you’re looking for a small patch of dirt that’s just south of the road leading to th

Varga is threatening to sue the moderators of a popular Twitch subreddit, r/livestreamfail, over a thread that appeared accusing Varga of participating in a separate scam related to a new type of gaming skin. That’s what led to the post on r/livestreamfail claiming Varga was back to “scamming” people with his ex-girlfriend. There’s no definitive proof either way, but the term “scam” seems to have upset Varga enough to threaten to sue the r/livestreamfail moderators. A message reportedly from Var

Calling all amateur DJs: the starter set for music gaming system DropMix is on clearance at Best Buy for $30. DropMix, a collaboration between game maker Harmonix and toy company Hasbro, is a little hard to categorize. Best Buy’s price drop might give curious gamers an excuse to finally try out the DropMix system. The starter set includes the game board and a base deck of 60 cards.

The arc finds Garnet, the warrior fusion of two other gems, Ruby and Sapphire, in turmoil, and splitting out of anxiety. Sapphire feels that Rose Quartz lied to her about their existence as Garnet. She misses Sapphire and wants to be with her — but on their own terms, not because Rose Quartz told them to. Greg” explore Pearl’s unrequited feelings for Ros
