What's In The Fortnite Item Shop Today: December 4, 2021: Royale Originals Return

2 years 5 months ago

The Fortnite Item Shop has refreshed once again, as it does every day at this time. But this time is different. It's the final shop selection of Chapter 2, and probably the final day to dab on the island of Apollo, as we can rather safely assume a new island awaits us after the Chapter 2 finale. Here's everything in the Fortnite Item Shop for December 4, 2021.

The marquee selection today is the Battle Classics and Royale Originals bundles, which contain the first four men and first four women characters ever seen in Fortnite respectively, including the original Jonesy. It seems on this momentous day for Fortnite, Epic is feeling nostalgic for the game's early days.

Some fans are already speculating whether that means we could be seeing a return to the original map, Athena, but in our minds, that's highly unlikely. Epic is probably more focused on moving forward with new experiences, even as the new map will likely reference all that came before it in some ways.

This one's for the OGs.

If you're feeling nostalgic too, however, you can grab these two bundles for 2,000 V-Bucks each. Collectively, they include the following character skins:

ID@ Xbox Game Fest Demo Event Is Coming Next Week With Over 35 Demos

2 years 5 months ago

The ID@Xbox Winter Game Fest is a digital demo event coming on December 7, where players can try out new demos for future games coming to Xbox. There are over 35 of them being released for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

According to Xbox Wire, the event will run through December 21. The demos at the event aren't typical game demos as most people see them. In Xbox's traditional demo channel on platforms like the Xbox Live storefront, the demos that are hosted there represent the final version of the games after they've nearly been completed. However, the demos at the Winter Game Fest are very early demos, similar to ones you'd see at a video game convention or trade show.

These demos will only be available for a limited time, although some might be re-published later. The full list of demos will be announced soon as the date nears December 7, but here are some of the highlights already announced:

Dungeon & Fighter Fighting Game DNF Duel by Arc System Works Shows Striker in New Trailer

2 years 5 months ago

Today Nexon released another new trailer of the upcoming fighting game DNF Duel, inspired by the Dungeon Fighter franchise (also known as Dungeon & Fighter in Korea).

The trailer focuses on one of the available characters, the Striker, showing her moves in battle against the Grappler.

As usual, it feels very familiar if you compare visuals and gameplay to Arc System Works’ games. This shouldn’t surprise since Nexon hired the popular Japanese fighting game developer to create the game. The previous trailer featuring the Berserker the one showing the Inquisitor, and the one showcasing the Grappler give the same feeling.

You can check it out and see what I mean for yourself below.
