If you’re a big anime fan, then there is a good chance you are really itching to know when Black Clover Season 5 comes out. Thankfully, we’ve got everything you could possibly need to know about this season and beyond for the series, so let’s dive right on in.

Black Clover Season 5 Release Date

At the moment, there is no plans for a Season 5 of Black Clover. After the ending of Black Clover Season 4 back in 2021, rumors circulated that the series was done for good. There are rumors of a movie, but they haven’t been officially confirmed or denied by Shonen Jump or author Yūki Tabata yet.

If any new information about either another season of the anime or a movie tie in are revealed, we will be sure to update this article accordingly.

You read that right. Due to the popularity of Space Jam 2, LeBron James will be joining the MultiVersus roster when the Open Beta begins for all on July 26. Not only that, but during a SDCC (San Diego Comic Con) panel, it was also announced that Rick & Morty will both be joining the brawler sometime when the first season of MultiVersus launches.

This tweet from the official MultiVersus account gives the full announcement for Rick & Morty:

We've known for a while that knockabout battle royale game Fall Guys would be bringing back its ludicrous Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles outfits this August, but a new leak has indicated there may be considerably more to next month's Sonic collaboration, with leakers having uncovered a new stage inspired the hedgehog's classic Green Hill Zone.

A bean-ised Sonic the Hedgehog costume initially appeared in Fall Guys all the way back in October 2020, and Knuckles made his in-store debut in November the following year. Fall Guys then continued on its merry Sonic-free way, but last month's Sonic Central livestream brought news that both character cosmetics would be returning to the game this August - as a sort of duel hoorah for Fall Guys' recent free-to-play launch and Sonic's 30th birthday - bringing with them a newcomer in the form of Tails.

That seemed to be as far developer Mediatonic and Sega planned to take their latest collaboration, but players started to suspect their might be more to come around a week ago, when a screenshot looking an awful lot like a new Green Hill Zone stage was spotted as appearing (presumably unintentionally) as part of Fall Guys' 'up next' stage select screen.

The MultiVersus roster expands today with the news that LeBron James, Rick Sanchez, and Morty Smith are stepping into the ring. 

King James joins the roster on July 26, the launch of the open beta, as the version of himself that appeared in Space Jam: A New Legacy. That means he’s rocking his Toon Squad jersey and unleashing all manner of over-the-top basketball moves. You can check him out in action in the gameplay trailer above. 

Mad scientist Rick Sanchez joins the roster when Season 1 begins on August 1. He’ll be rocking his portal gun and can summon Meeseeks, among other zany abilities. Morty joins him during the season, but his arrival date has not yet been confirmed. The young sidekick focuses on using projectiles such as grenade weapons, and he can whip himself at targets. 

The MultiVersus open beta begins July 26 and will be available on PlayStation and Xbox consoles and PC. Though if you played the closed alpha, you’re already playing the game right now. 

Apex Legends Mobile's latest in-store event, the Neon Rebellion Versus Drop (Season 2's version of an Arsenal Drop) is now available in the portable battle royale's in-game store. The Neon Rebellion Versus Drop features a collection of 20 cosmetic items, from user avatar frames and skydive emotes to Eternal and Legendary-tier character and weapon skins.

The cosmetics are unlocked at random, and each reward has a different probability of being unlocked. But Arsenal Drops are far more complicated than they appear at first glance, and the game's complex purchase design strategy can be rather confusing for the average player, so we put together a guide to provide a detailed breakdown of this Versus Drop's mechanics. If you're a little daunted by the odds-based store event, don't worry--we did the math so you don't have to.

Getting started

When you open the Apex Legends Mobile App, a pop-up announcement advertising the Neon Rebellion Versus Drop will appear. Select "Go!" to be taken directly to the store event screen. But if you've already closed the pop-up, don't worry--there are two other methods of gaining access to the event hub, though both are somewhat complicated.The first method is fairly simple: If you're feeling particularly patient, you can also find the event page by waiting for the event's banner ad to appear on the right side of the lobby.

MCC Island is the official Minecraft Championship public server, which will allow the public players to get access to Minecraft Championship content. In other words, it’s a place where fans can interact with others and compete in various different games. With this being the first time fans will be able to take part in the various games and events themselves, many are wondering what the MCC Island release date is. In addition, you might be wondering how to sign up for the MCC Island beta, we’ve also got that covered here!

What Is the MCC Island Release Date?

Thanks to a tweet from the official MCC Island Twitter account, we now know that MCC Island 2022 is due to come ‘sooner than you think…’

Currently, however, there’s no word on exactly when ‘soon’ is, but as soon we know, we’ll update this post so you’ve got the full details.

BlueTwelve Studios’ latest adventure game, Stray, earned critical acclaim when it launched earlier this week. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, the modding community has been quick with a bunch of cool mods to tweak the game in unique ways. Here we’ve compiled the best 5 Stray mods to download and install right now.

Slightly Fat Cat

If you’d prefer your tabby to look more like Garfield than slinky-cyberpunk-alley-cat, then this is the mod for you. All it does is increase the size of your kitty to make it a little more round… and cute! It’s a simple one to install but follow the instructions over on crubino’s NexusMods page all the same.

Warner Bros. held a special panel for its crossover fighting game MultiVersus at San Diego Comic Con, where three new characters were announced as part of the game's first season: the space-faring duo Rick and Morty, as well as Space Jam's LeBron.

LeBron--notably without "James" in his name, suggesting this is the Space Jam character and not the multiple-time NBA MVP--will enter the game first on July 26. Morty Smith will join the roster at the start of Season 1 two weeks later, while Rick Sanchez's release date has not yet been confirmed.

A brief gameplay reveal for LeBron was also released, showing off his basketball-themed moveset both in his trademark Tune Squad uniform and a cowboy-themed alternate. The video also gives brief snippets of other new features, including a Rick and Morty-themed stage.

Early access of the MultiVersus open beta began for select players on July 19, with a number of changes made to the roster after the closed alpha test in May. The beta will open to everyone on July 26, with Season 1 beginning with Morty Smith on August 9.

The MultiVersus open beta will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Players can still earn a code to the early access phase by watching Twitch streams of the game to earn a code via a Twitch Drop.

Pokémon. They come in all shapes and sizes, with enough diversity that everyone can find at least one they like. And though it’s difficult to have beef (or pork) with many of them, odds are you’re going to run into a few bad apples when you have over 900 of something. Humans are imperfect, of course, so some misplaced…

The leaks continue with The Last Of Us Part I, but don’t roll your eyes at the idea you could be spoiled on a game you’ve already played and hasn’t changed just yet. This one’s actually great. Screenshots of the game’s accessibility features are rolling in, and they show essential options the original definitely did…

HoYoVerse has debuted a new web event for Genshin Impact players. Called Mesmerizing Dream At Sea, the Genshin Impact web event enables players to gather Primogems, resources, and other goodies. Their task: To help Paimon remember a weird dream she had.

https://twitter.com/GenshinImpact/status/1550329791038889984

The Mesmerizing Dream at Sea Genshin Impact web event is available via browsers, and accessible at this link. Players will need to log in each day to access a set of Daily Commissions and other tasks. The commissions are simple objectives, including logging into the game, completing in-game commissions, or catching Crystalflies. Completing the commissions will earn Paimon's Inspirations. The Inspirations can be used to retrieve dream memories.

The dream memories play out a quiz-style scenario, where Paimon asks questions about the ongoing Summer 2022 event. Getting answers right proceeds to the next part of the Mesmerizing Dream at Sea Genshin Impact event map. Flubbing a question prompts a do-over fueled by snacks. Snacks can also be earned by completing in-game tasks such as spending a certain amount of Mora.

With that in mind, it's best to begin and progress the Summer 2022 event story while participating in the Mesmerizing Dream at Sea event, to minimize incorrect answers.

The prizes for the event include 80 Primogems, 6 Hero's Wit items, 8 Mystic Enhancement Ores, 4 Sanctifying Unctions, and 90,000 Mora.

The whole world has a bad fever. Here, in New York, I sit inside with the fan directly on my face as the city sweats out its hottest week in almost a decade. Europe is getting swallowed in wildfires, drought is constricting East Africa, and unrelenting monsoon rains are drowning Bangladesh. The world is very sick.…

Saints Row is back, in a 2022 reboot that sees developer Volition bring the series up to date with an enhanced in-house engine. Come its August 23rd release, we'll be able see how all consoles stack up, including PS5, Series X and last-gen machines - but today is all about our hands-on experience with an early PC build running on an RTX 3080 machine. Going in, we wanted to know how the PC version looked, running at 4K with settings maxed, and what hints we could find about what the Series X and PS5 versions that have yet to be revealed - including RT support. Let's dig in and see what's on show so far.

Right away, materials, lighting and physics in Volition's latest are a huge leap in quality over previous Saints Row games. Gone are the flat, simplistic shaders for skin and clothing present in the last Saints Row release from 2013, now replaced with more realistically lit materials. In fact, regardless of how you craft your character - and there's boundless possibilities here - there's always a respectable baseline level for model quality. Likewise for the environment, texture quality is sharp, tapping into the 10GB VRAM of our RTX 3080 here comfortably. All round, world detail level is already clearly more befitting of a project meant for a PS5 and Series X release. Getting into the action itself, car headlights are punctuated by a striking volumetric effect, adding streaks of light and adding a satisfying sense of depth to the scene. Object physics also impress right away, with set piece moments strewn with TNT producing a huge payoff as barrels split open and bridges collapse.

During an earnings report call that included the cancellation of four games and the delay of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Ubisoft mentioned a delay for another "smaller, premium unannounced title." Reports now indicate the game in question is Assassin's Creed Rift, a new standalone AC game that was originally meant to be a DLC episode for Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

According to Bloomberg News, Ubisoft's Bordeaux office--which is leading development on the project--requested the game be pushed from its targeted February launch due to the game running "far behind schedule." The game is now slated for release in May or June, according to the report, which will move it from Ubisoft's 2023 fiscal calendar.

Fortnite No Sweat Summer quests are live, offering up players a whole bunch of summer-themed challenges to work their way through while they seek shelter indoors from the scorching temperatures of the real-life world.

All Fortnite No Sweat Summer Quests & Rewards & How To Complete Them

Thanks to iFireMonkey, we knew the challenges ahead of their official release. You can check out the full list below.

A number of new world quests and puzzles will appear on the Golden Apple Archipelago once you've completed the main mirage-related questline in Genshin Impact's version 2.8 Summertime Odyssey event. This particular world quest is called The Discarded Insignia, and we're here to guide you through it.

How to Start The Discarded Insignia Quest

Go to Minacious Isle after you've finished up Mona's mirage storyline and put the Crystalline Cores in the Fatui machine. Then, change the isle back to its original form by interacting with one of the circular pools that you used to enter Mona's mirage.

When Minacious Isle is back in its original form, go to the location in the first image below and climb up above the pool of water until you find an Electrohammer Vanguard. Speak to him to start the quest.

Today Hytale developer Hypixel Studios published a development update with plenty of information about the current state of the upcoming fantasy-meets-Minecraft game.

First of all, the game’s engine is being overhauled in C++ as opposed as Java and C#, providing the following benefits.

• It makes it easier for us to release Hytale across multiple platforms. This is one of the most common requests we receive, and we want to deliver on it without compromising on quality. We also wish to avoid a situation where our community finds themselves split up based on the platform they play on.
• It provides performance benefits.
• It will make it easier for us to patch and maintain the game in the future, and establishes a stronger foundation for the future development of Hytale.

When will Hytale Come out?

Unfortunately, this will impact the development timeline. While “redevelopment of the engine is proceeding quickly” and the developers are “hitting internal milestones,” this means that the game won’t be ready for 2023, which was previously identified as the best-case-scenario earliest possible release window.

The development team sympathizes with the fans who have been waiting for a long time, but they believe this course of action is best for the game in the long run.

We also learn that the team has grown a lot, and now it counts over 100 developers, with more joining every month.

As a bonus, we also get a new track from the game’s soundtrack, titled “Heroes of Orbis.”

Capcom has published a new Mercenaries trailer for Resident Evil Village. This trailer showcases the new content that will be available in the Gold Edition compilation and the Winters' Expansion DLC set. It primarily gives the spotlight to the three new playable characters that will be available through the DLC.

The company has also updated the Mercenaries segment on its Resident Evil Village Gold Edition webpage. It added more details on the gameplay methods for each new character. Chris Redfield can launch straight punches and use the Target Locator to call in support fire from his allies. Karl Heisenberg can summon a Soldat Jet while hitting enemies with his hammer and using his electric and magnetic abilities. Alcina Dimitrescu can attack enemies with her talons to fill her Thrill gauge. When it is full, she will be able to summon her daughters to attack the enemies in her stead.

In addition to the three new characters, the Mercenaries set will also add two new stages called "The Bloody Village" and "The Bloody River."

Today, One Piece Film: Red got a brand new trailer, just ahead of its Japanese release. In the trailer below, we get a sneak peek into the secrets of lead songstress Uta’s past, teasing some major revelations that will shake the core of the franchise.

You can check out the second official trailer for One Piece Film: Red and an official description right down below.

Uta —the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as “otherworldly.” Now, for the first time ever, Uta will reveal herself to the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans—excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is Shanks’ daughter.

Directed by Goro Taniguchi and written by Tsutomu Kuroiwa, One Piece Film: Red is currently scheduled to premiere in Japanese theaters and IMAX screens on Aug. 6, 2022. At the moment, there is no global release date for the film, though it has been given a window of Fall 2022 in U.S., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand theaters.

Bruce Wayne really and truly bites it at the start of Gotham Knights, creative director Patrick Redding confirmed at a San Diego Comic Con panel on Thursday. WB Montreal’s upcoming loot-focused beat ’em up won’t feature the Joker either, though Redding left the door open to Harley Quinn showing up and smashing a few…

A not-so-long time ago in the same galaxy we all reside in, Respawn Entertainment deviated from its first-person shooter roots to create Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. This third-person action game was the studio’s first stab at tackling the coveted Star Wars license, crafting an original adventure set five years after Revenge of the Sith. It stars Cal Kestis, a padawan turned junker (played by Shameless star Cameron Monaghan) that managed to evade the Jedi purge of Order 66. After he’s outed by the Sith, he embarks on a quest to recover an artifact capable of locating force-sensitive children while also avoiding capture by the Inquisitors, who are elite Jedi hunters. 

The game features a blend of lightsaber combat and a suite of Force abilities. Borrowing inspiration from FromSoftware’s Soul series, encounters are challenging, requiring a strategic blend of blocks and parries to outduel opponents. Meanwhile, the various planets take on a Metroid-inspired progression with players unlocking abilities to backtrack to previously inaccessible areas. 

Watch on Twitch!

Fallen Order was released on November 15, 2019, and was a critical and financial success. It also served as a saving grace for single-player fans, providing proof to an increasingly multiplayer-focused EA that linear story-driven experiences can still make the big bucks. With a sequel reportedly in the works, we’re revisiting this gem of the Star Wars video game pantheon. 

It’s fair to say that this hasn’t been the coolest week on record in many places around the world, so I’m giving Fortnite the side-eye for the No Sweat Summer event that’s running until August 9th. It’s a bit daft, as you’d expect from Epic Games’ battle royale by this point. You’ll get the opportunity to boogie down, race boats and help rebuild Tilted Towers. Watch the trailer below and marvel at how they can all dance without keeling over.

Game Pass has allowed players to open up their minds to a lot of really great titles that they likely wouldn’t have played otherwise since it became a thing in 2017. If you need any further proof of that fact, simply look to the top five most popular titles on the platform right now, and you’ll see that Halo Infinite isn’t even in it, as it sits at number six – though its standalone multiplayer is at number five on the list.

Yes, that’s right; Halo Infinite has been kicked out of Game Pass’ top five most popular titles by none other than Power Wash Simulator, as you can see below.

2022 has been a stellar year for the horror genre. This year has brought us terrors new and old, most recently we’ve just seen Ethan Hawke put in a chilling performance as the serial killer/kidnapper ‘The Grabber’ in The Black Phone to rave reviews. Ti West made us realize how scary old people could be with his grindhouse horror X and a slasher icon made a comeback in a major way with Matt Bittelli and Tyler Gillett’s relaunch of Scream.

The good news is that we’re only halfway through the year and there are plenty more films on the way for horror aficionados to sink their teeth into. Check out our list of the Top 10 Upcoming Horror Movies in 2022.

With this being the second day of No Sweat Summer, the next challenge has been unlocked. While the previous ones were an easy landing and No Sweat Sign delivery, you’ll now have to test your captain abilities. Here’s where to start and complete a lap around the No Sweat Summer Boat Race Circuit in Fortnite.

Starting Boat Race Circuit

Just as with taking the No Sweat Sign to the Sponsorship location, the Boat Race Circuit is in the big body of water east of Sanctuary. You don’t need anyone else doing this with you, it is perfectly fine to complete it solo.

Touhou Project creator ZUN will release a new game at the milestone-reaching Comic Market 100. The game will be titled Touhou 18.5: 100th Black Market. Both its storyline and gameplay system will take inspiration from ZUN's previous game, Touhou 18: Unconnected Marketeers.

The story of 100th Black Market will take place shortly after the events of Unconnected Marketeers. A black market that greatly increases the value of Ability Cards outside of the creator's control has appeared in Gensokyo. While the prequel had four playable characters, this game will solely focus on Marisa Kirisame as she investigates the black market while trying to collect the cards for herself.

100th Black Market will focus on the card collection aspect. In a similar fashion to Unconnected Marketeers, players will be able to purchase and equip Ability Cards that give various buffs to Marisa, which range from passive buffs to additional attacks. Players will aim to complete the card collection while trying out different combinations. A market stage in Touhou 18.5 will consist of several short waves generated randomly.

Touhou 18.5: 100th Black Market will be available for PCs. ZUN's Team Shanghai Alice will sell physical copies of the game at Comiket 100 in Tokyo Big Sight on August 14, 2022. The developer has also confirmed plans to bring the new game to digital platforms, including Steam.

On this week's episode of the Ultimate Audio Bang, we turn our attention to shooters and their demands. They all want our undivided attention and for Hayden and I, it's fast becoming a bit much. Believe it or not, we're adults with clothes to fold and ovens to pre-heat! Daily quests and inane challenges aren't bringing us back, if anything, they're beginning to drive us away.

After some previous teases, Rockstar announced today the Criminal Enterprises update for Grand Theft Auto Online will be released on July 26. This upcoming free update sounds like it will be one of the biggest the game has ever received, with numerous quality of life changes, improvements, and business expansions.

There’s so many dodgy things I could say about Resident Evil Village’s upcoming DLC’s The Mercenaries Additional Orders mode and its inclusion of a playable Lady Dimitrescu, along with magnetic Nic Cage wannabe Karl Heisenberg and perennial favourite Chris Redfield. Instead, I’ll be a nice lad and keep shtum. Aside from the extra characters, Additional Orders brings more stages and some other improvements to Mercenaries that Capcom haven’t elaborated on. Watch the trailer for it below and imagine being inside Lady D. Oh crap.

Cycling in video games leans towards the extreme and the exciting: bombing downhill at murderous speeds, professional racing, treasure hunt, and such. I'd like to see more of the mundane too. For many adults, a bicycle is simply a way to get to work, to the shops, or to see your pals. So after battle royale shooter PUBG: Battlegrounds added bicycles, I decided to commute around the stag & hen weekend warzones by bike as much as possible.
