Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is finally out and Infinity Ward has updated the game's website to include a page all about playing the game on PlayStation 5. It includes a look at all the exclusive bonuses PlayStation players get for playing the game on that platform, too, as reported by Video Games Chronicle. 

If you're familiar with PlayStation's usual bonuses for Call of Duty players, you likely won't be surprised by this year's exclusives, but new players will find that it's actually quite a lot. Here's what PlayStation players are getting:

In this week's episode of The Game Informer Show, our new Magazine Content Director, Kyle Hilliard, joins the crew to share impressions from the first five hours of God of War Ragnarök. Additionally, Blake and Marcus share their thoughts about Bayonetta 3; later in the show, Alex talks about why Marvel Snap is excellent despite him becoming tired of the franchise lately. Lastly, Blake talks about the Modern Warfare 2 campaign's unfortunate shortcomings, especially as someone who traditionally enjoys Call Of Duty.

I’m extremely picky with my mobile games. Since its launch in 2019, Apple Arcade has spoiled me so thoroughly with its beautifully crafted, ad-free experience that it’s hard to go back to anything else. To my surprise, this month saw the release of a game that fits both of these criteria: Marvel Snap. I downloaded it a few days ago and haven’t put it down since.

Marvel Snap is a free-to-play deck-builder with very short matches (usually only three to four minutes). As you play, you collect cards adorned with Marvel characters, each with a unique ability. Characters range from mainstream heroes like Hulk and Iron Man to ones I’ve never even heard of, like Ka-Zar or Blue Marvel. At only 12 cards, decks are relatively small, so every character counts. The app is named for the Snap mechanic, which allows you or your opponent to double down at any point during the match. If you win, you get twice the cubes, the currency you use to increase your competitive rank. If you snap and lose, your rank will decrease instead, creating a delicious risk/reward system.

Remakes tend to be more exciting than remasters because the improvements often go beyond mere bumps in resolution or framerate. At best, studios reimagine classic experiences in exciting new ways, sand away rough edges, and somehow retain the intangible x-factors that made fans fall in love with these titles in the first place. At the very least, remakes offer a great way to play antiquated or less accessible experiences on modern hardware. 

The remake boom has been in full swing in recent years to the point that it’s starting to get tough to keep track of all the projects in the works. Thankfully, we’ve gathered as many of the announced remakes (not remasters) that we could find and gathered them in one neat list, arranged chronologically by release window. This will be an evolving list that will be updated as new remakes are announced and released, so be sure to keep an eye on it over the coming months. 

Developer Tiny Roar and publisher Daedalic Entertainment have revealed Wanderful, an upcoming "cozy-builder" that looks like a charming and relaxing time. 

Tiny Roar describes the game as a "soothing and zany building and exploration game where you place tiles to expand your world with small adventures and big surprises for your characters to uncover." Using these tiles, you can create a "unique story-multiverse" at your own pace. If you want to play fast and loose, you can; if you want to play it strategically, laying out every tile in such a way that your story plan goes off flawlessly, you can do that too, it seems. 

Check out the Wanderful reveal trailer for yourself below: 

"Tiny Roar is committed to seeking new ways to tell stories through gameplay mechanics and the interaction with the world and its inhabitants," a press release reads. "Wanderful is like a book full of stories just waiting to be told. With every tile you place, you turn a page and create a new adventure for the little explorers roaming your world. Create your own story framework and gradually shape their experiences by exploring this cozy-building, tile by tile.

Netflix's Sonic Prime series will hit the subscription service this December. 

More specifically, Sonic Prime will hit Netflix on December 15. This news comes by way of IGN, which exclusively revealed the release date today on Twitter alongside eight new character posters featuring Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Tails, Eggman, Big the Cat & Froggy, Shadow, Rouge, and of course, Sonic the Hedgehog. Check them out below:

Paranormal Tales is an upcoming indie horror game with a unique perspective twist. Players experience the first-person adventure through the lens of a body camera to provide a more realistic, claustrophobic trek into its terrifying world. 

The game, created by two designers, draws inspiration from found footage films. The name shares the same initials as P.T., which I can’t imagine is coincidental. Players explore a series of video files as they control a person searching for their lost dog, Teddy. Expect to encounter some very creepy phenomena, and the realistic graphics (rendered in Unreal Engine 5) aim to sell the bodycam perspective effectively. Check out the trailer below if you're looking to raise a few hairs.

Paranormal Tales has no release window and has only been confirmed for PC so far. What do you think of the bodycam style in video games? Let us know in the comments!

The Callisto Protocol's Japanese version has been canceled due to the game's violent content and the rating it received in Japan, or lack thereof, as a result. 

This news comes from The Callisto Protocol's Japanese Twitter account, which reveals that the game could not achieve an age rating with CERO (which is Japan's equivalent to the United States' ESRB rating). As a result, it cannot be allowed to release as is in the country. Here's what the studio had to say, as translated by Eurogamer. 

"The Callisto Protocol has decided to stop the release of the Japanese version. As of now, the CERO rating cannot be passed. We have decided that we would no longer be able to provide you with the experience you need. We hope everyone in Japan will understand. If you have already preordered, we will refund you."

PlayStation's London Studio, the team behind the PlayStation VR title Blood & Truth, has shared a new teaser image and details for its upcoming "modern fantasy" co-op game. 

This news comes from a Studio Spotlight blog post by Sony Interactive Entertainment in which the company interviews two London Studio heads: co-studio leaders Stuart Whyte and Tara Saunders. The pair discuss their careers and jobs at London Studio, as well as what the team is working on. When asked about the studio's next game, Saunders shares some new details about what to expect and the teaser image that you can see below. 

"Our next project is an online co-op combat game, which as you can see here, is set in a modern fantasy London," Saunders says. "The key thing about this is that it's a PlayStation 5 title – it's not a VR game like our last title was. And it's our most ambitious project to date. There are some important aspects communicated in this image. It's a modern fantasy London, it's cooperative action. And what we really love about this project is that it's giving us an opportunity to showcase a lot of wonder and magic. So we're really excited." 

Marvel's Midnight Suns will get four more characters as post-launch DLC: Deadpool, Morbius, Venom, and Storm. 

This news comes from the reveal of Midnight Suns' season pass, which will also include the following premium skins at launch: 

Somerville, the mysterious sci-fi adventure game, finally has a release date and it’s only a few weeks away. The game arrives on November 15. 

The experience comes from Jumpship, a studio founded by Dino Patti, former CEO of Limbo and Inside developer Playdead. That shared DNA is evident in Somerville’s somber, surreal atmosphere. The game centers on a rural family – a father, mother, and child – whose lives get turned upside down by a cataclysmic event involving extraterrestrial visitors. The journey unfolds as a side-scrolling adventure game where the family must survive this apocalypse as it rips through small towns and beyond. You can watch the most recent trailer below.

Somerville was first unveiled during E3 2021 and most recently popped up during last December's Game Awards. The game will be available on Xbox consoles (including Game Pass) and PC.

Rieko Kodama, the pioneering Sega developer behind titles like Phantasy Star and Skies of Arcadia, has died at 58. 

Nick Thorpe, features editor for Retro Gaming Magazine, noticed that in the credits for Sega's Mega Drive Mini II, there's a message that reads, "In memory of Rieko Kodama." Twitter user Ares Arcadia quote-tweeted Thorpe's tweet to ask Sega producer Yosuke Okunari if this message means that Kodama had died to which Okunari replied and said, "As you understand it. We respected her," confirming her death. 

Sega has since confirmed Kodama's death, citing that she had passed in May, according to IGN. Further details around her death will not be shared out of respect for her family's privacy, Sega says. 

"We pray that the deceased will rest in peace, and we offer our gratitude for her enormous contributions to Sega," Sega of Japan says, as translated by IGN Japan. 

Rocksteady Studios co-founders Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker have announced that they are departing from the studio. 

This news comes as a bit of a surprise, both because Hill was the director of the studio's upcoming game, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, and because both were original founders of the studio and masterminds behind its popular Batman Arkham series. Nonetheless, it seems the two are leaving Rocksteady amicably at the end of the year with confidence in the team they're leaving behind to carry Suicide Squad across the finish line. 

Here is the statement in full: 

Earlier this month, CD Projekt Red announced that it was developing a new Cyberpunk game, multiple Witcher games, and a new IP. One of those Witcher games was given the codename "Canis Majoris" and CDPR called it a "full-fledged" Witcher title. Now, the company has revealed that "Canis Majoris" is actually a remake of the very first Witcher game. 

The official Witcher Twitter account posted the news this morning, revealing that CDPR is working with developer Fool's Theory to make The Witcher using Unreal Engine 5. Fool's Theory developed Seven Enhanced Edition and Seven Drowned Pass, but it has also provided developmental support on games like Divinity: Original Sin II, Baldur's Gate III, and Outriders. 

We're thrilled to reveal that, together with @Fools_Theory, we're working on remaking The Witcher using Unreal Engine 5 (codename: Canis Majoris)!

We want to do this right, so please be patient — it's gonna be a while until we can share more details.

Team Ninja has revealed the release date for its upcoming action game set during the Three Kingdoms era of China, Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, and it's less than half a year away. 

More specifically, the studio has revealed that Wo Long will hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on March 3, 2023. That's less than six months away. Alongside this news, Team Ninja has detailed the editions of Wo Long you can preorder as well as some of the DLC coming to the game.

Let's break those editions down: 

Amazon Studios and Kilter Films have released a teaser image for its in-development Fallout TV series based on the game franchise of the same name and it might hint at its setting. 

Bethesda Game Studios announced back in 2020 that it was teaming up with Amazon Studios and Kilter Films to develop a Fallout TV series. Early details revealed that Westworld creators and producers Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy signed onto the project and are partnering with Fallout 4 director and long-time Bethesda producer Todd Howard to bring the show to life.

Since then, not much else has been released except a 2021 report that details the show as a "gonzo, crazy, funny adventure" and some leaked set photos that reveal some pretty accurate set designs and costumes. However, today, in celebration of Fallout's 25th Anniversary this year, Amazon has released our first official look at the series: 

The Age of Empires series is coming to Xbox; well, some of it at least. 

More specifically, Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, the 2019 remaster of the original 1999 Age of Empires II release, is coming to Xbox consoles on January 31, 2023, and it will be followed by an Xbox release of Age of Empires IV later that year. This news came alongside various Age of Empires-related news announced today as part of the series' 25th Anniversary celebrations. 

Check out the announcement video for yourself below: 

That's not all that was revealed today, though. If you're an Age of Empires fiend, check out this video breaking down the history of the series that the Xbox and the Age of Empires team released today: 

Xbox, World's Edge, and Relic Entertainment have also revealed Age of Mythology Retold, a definitive edition of the Age of Empires spin-off series first released in 2002. Check out its reveal trailer below: 

A trailer from the Pokémon Company International has revealed the Greavard, the Ghost Dog Pokémon, just in time for Halloween. You can watch the official reveal below.

On Twitter, the official Pokémon account describes this haunted hound with the following Pokédex-like entry:

Greavard is so affectionate that paying it any attention will make it so happy that it'll follow you wherever you go. However, Greavard will slowly and inadvertently absorb the life-force of those around it.

That second sentence ties into the first part of this reveal – an animated video posted on the Pokémon YouTube Channel about a trainer searching the Paldea region for ghost-type Pokémon. They eventually stumble upon a Greavard, but mysteriously collapse after playing fetch.

Greavard’s reveal continues a trend in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s marketing campaign where they post animated teasers and reveals of each new monster coming to the games. It started with Grafaiai and has continued all the way up to Bellibolt, a Pokémon revealed less than two weeks ago.

Bethesda revealed Arkane Studios' open-world, co-op FPS Redfall back in 2021, and since then, the companies have been slowly pulling back the curtain on what to expect in this vampire-infested experience. We've received new trailers, details about how campaign progress is tied to the host in co-op, and we've even previewed the game (read here). 

Now, Bethesda and Arkane have released a new "Into The Night" Redfall trailer inviting players to experience a night out on the town to discover all the (bloody) fun that awaits. Spoilers: there's a lot of blood, a lot of vampires, and at least one giant heart that we probably need to destroy. Check out the new Redfall trailer for yourself below:

By the end of Bayonetta 3's third chapter, it's operating on a scale that dwarfs most video games. Buildings twist and crumble like flimsy plastic, giant craters pock-mark the earth, and mountain-sized creatures level entire cities; the bombastic culmination of an opening three hours that feel like they're running a mile a minute; a never-ending barrage of stimuli.

It's loud, obnoxious, and frankly a bit exhausting. And I was hootin' and hollerin' the entire time. 

Cult of the Lamb was released back in August and while the main story will run you a dozen or so hours, developer Massive Monsters are inviting you back to your base of operations with a new Blood Moon Festival update that's now live. 

This limited-time event began yesterday (October 24) and will run until November 10. It brings plenty of new with it, too, so you'll want to jump in to check out all of the Blood Moon's offerings before it's too late. Here's what to expect:

• New Blood Moon Ritual
• 3 New Follower Forms to unlock
• 4 Base Decorations to unlock
• New music track

To accompany the news, Massive Monsters have also released a new trailer for Cult of the Lamb's Blood Moon Festival update that you can watch below: 

"Under the light of the Blood Moon, devotees can harvest pumpkins to unlock a brand new ritual that will raise former members of their cult, casting them back to the land of the living as wandering spirits," a press release reads. "New follower forms and dreadful decorations will be granted upon their capture, but be quick about it, the Blood Moon will wane on November 10." 

One of Overwatch's most popular annual events was Halloween Terror, which brought not only Halloween-inspired skins and rewards to the game's loot box system but a unique PvE experience. 

Halloween Terror has returned, this time to Overwatch 2 and much like the years of experiences before it, this year's event comes with skins, rewards, and a semi-sequel to the first game's Halloween PvE experience, Junkenstein's Revenge. The new PvE mode for Overwatch 2 is now called Junkenstein's Revenge: Wrath of the Bride and you can jump in starting today, October 25.

PlatinumGames embodies style, imagination, and risk-taking. Spawned in 2007 by Capcom veterans, including Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and Devil May Cry and Okami mastermind Hideki Kamiya, the studio became a haven for these minds to create new franchises under the freedom of independence. Early success like MadWorld turned heads, but Platinum’s third title, Bayonetta, cemented it as one of the game industry’s premier action studios.

Launching in Japan in 2009 and hitting U.S. shores in 2010, Bayonetta revamped and, in some ways, improved the stylish action of its spiritual predecessor, Devil May Cry. The bewitching adventure reinvented and reinvigorated the stylish action genre; Platinum created its magnum opus in only two years. Unfortunately, sales didn’t match the reception, and Sega, the game’s original publisher, passed on a sequel. Despite fans’ cries, Bayonetta seemingly ended the series before it could take off.

Nintendo stepped up to answer those pleas by agreeing to publish a follow-up. Bayonetta 2 arrived in 2014 as a Wii U exclusive. The sequel proved Bayonetta wasn’t a one-hit wonder, becoming one of the year’s best games with some fans believing it surpassed its predecessor. The success also proved the family-friendly Nintendo had no problem letting the franchise remain true to its Mature-rated self.

Update, 12/13/23:

Bethesda announced last year that Fallout 4 would be receiving a free new-gen update for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2023. However, as the year comes to a close, Bethesda has delayed the update to next year. 

"Than you for your patience with us as we work on the Fallout 4 next-gen update," a tweet from the official Fallout account reads. "We know you're excited, and so are we! But we need a bit more time and look forward to an exciting return to the Commonwealth in 2024."

Bethesda has revealed that Fallout 4 will receive a free new-gen update next year. 

Fortnitemares 2022 event has officially kicked off, and it brought plenty of spooky outfits to the skins collection. Chrome Punk is one of the many Fortnitemares-themed outfits that players can luckily unlock without spending a dime. With that being said, here’s everything you need to know about getting Chrome Punk Skin for free in Fortnite.

How to Unlock Chrome Punk Skin in Fortnite

The only way to get Chrome Punk Skin for free in Fortnite is by gaining 50 account levels before January 15. For instance, if your current Fortnite level is 10, then you need to level up your account to 60 in order to get the reward.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on PS5

After years of flipping through history channels and reused settings, 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare saw the long-standing franchise experience a revitalization like no other. Who knew that a return to a modern setting, a re-imagination of a previously completed story ark injected with the most militaristic gameplay the franchise has ever seen, and a free-to-play battle royal experience would suddenly wipe away the franchise fatigue fans have been experiencing since the same game released back in 2007?

It’s safe to say there’s a palpable amount of hype surrounding this title. 2020 brought us to the Cold War era with Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War, and 2021 brought us back to the World War setting for the millionth time, with the latter performing rather abysmally across the board. Couple that with the looming Microsoft acquisition, the sequel to 2019’s smash hit has a fair amount of weight on its shoulders. 

This is a rather hefty introduction, yet it’s necessary to set the tone as with everything I just mentioned, this is the first time a Call of Duty game will see support for a two-year cycle. No new title will release next year unless plans change, and if this game drops the ball, Activision will most certainly be facing many questions as they head into a possible acquisition. So, does Modern Warfare 2 live up to those expectations?

Genshin Impact 3.2 is right around the corner, and it’s set to bring a new 5-Star Dendro character called Nahida. According to the 3.2 banner schedule, Nahida will be made available during the first phase of the event wish, called The Moongrass’ Enlightenment, and players can grab the character by pulling its banners. This Genshin Impact guide will explain everything about Genshin Impact Nahida’s Elemental Skill, Burst & Constellations. So without any further ado, let’s dive into the details.

Genshin Impact Nahida – Skills, Burst and Passives

As we’ve already mentioned earlier, Nahida is an upcoming 5-Star Dendro character that will be released along with the 3.2 version. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the character’s abilities:

If you love Fortnite and Star Wars, Epic Games has a new treat in store today to celebrate the new Skywalker Week event.

Specifically, we’re getting Hero Outfits for Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, and Han Solo within the Original Trilogy Set available in Fortnite’s Item Shop.

The set also includes the following:

• Slugthrower Rifle Pickaxe
• X-34 Landspeeder Glider
• R2-D2 Back Bling
• Electrostaff Pickaxe
• Millennium Falcon Back Bling
• Vibro-staff Pickaxe

The Skywalker Week event brings Luke Skywalker’s lightsabers which can be found as floor loot. You’ll be able to retrieve Luke’s Blue Lightsaber (from Star Wars: A New Hope) or Luke’s Green Lightsaber (from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi) and wield them in battle.

You can also get Darth Vader’s red lightsaber, but you actually have to deserve it by defeating the formidable Sith lord if you want it.

The modified Junk Rift can drop Luke’s own X-34 Landspeeder and you can find Junk Rifts on the ground, in Imperial Chests, and in regular Chests.

You can check out the Star Wars skins and more in the announcement trailer below.

If the original trilogy is your favorite, this is certainly your best chance to bring back its hero and enjoy seeing them in action in Epic Games’ ultra-popular battle royale game.

Today, during Sony’s quarterly conference call for investors and analysts, chief financial officer Hiroki Totoki talked about the situation of the PlayStation business.

We hear that total gameplay time spent by PlayStation users between June and September increased slightly compared to the previous quarter but declined 10% year-on-year, mostly due to the increased opportunities to go outside.

Sales for past games have declined sharply while sales of new titles remained strong. It appears that users are playing fewer games to save money.

Totoki-san also explained the decrease in PlayStation Plus users, mentioning that it was caused by a greater decline in the engagement of PS4 users than expected. On the other hand, engagement among PS5 users remains significantly higher compared to PS4. Due to that, Sony is making even more efforts to increase the penetration of PS5 hardware to recover the overall loss in user engagement going forward.

Restrictions on the supply of materials and logistics affecting the production of PS5 hardware have “significantly eased” and Sony managed to produce 6.5 million during the quarter, progressing faster than planned.

Demand from customers continues to be strong, and in September, it took an average of 17.5 hours to sell out 100,000 units after their delivery at retail stores in the US.

Later in the call, Totoki-san mentioned that Sony hasn’t seen any dampening of said demand due to the price hike for PS5 in some regions.

Today Sony announced its financial results for the second quarter of the fiscal year 2022, related to the period between July 1 and September 30, 2022, including an update on PS5 and PS4 shipments.

3.3 million PS5 units were purchased by retailers worldwide during the latest quarter, which means that as of September 30, 2022, the console has shipped 25 million units in its lifetime.

As of the previous quarter, Sony has stopped reporting PS4 unit sales, which means that those remain officially locked at the 117 million figure disclosed in May.

In the slides included in the gallery below, you can find a full overview of the performance of the Game & Network Services business (which includes both PlayStation and PlayStation Network), with all the relevant figures including software sales and more.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, The new God of War game, Ragnarök, will be upon us in a week. The latest game will act as a follow-up to the 2018 title, continuing the story of Kratos and Atreus. With a new game comes people fresh to the franchise who will be diving into the series for the first time. Luckily, you can play most of the games on PS4 and PS5, as long as you’re subscribed to the Premium version of PlayStation Plus. So, where do you begin? Well, we’ve got you covered for both. We’ll start with chronological order, followed by release order. So, without further ado, here’s how to play the God of War games in chronological and release order.

God of War Games in Chronological Order

1. God of War: Chains of Olympus
2. God of War: Ascension
3. God of War (2005)
4. God of War: Ghost of Sparta
5. God of War II
6. God of War III
7. God of War (2018)
8. God of War: Ragnarök

Note that the only game we didn’t mention was the cellphone game God of War: Betrayal. While the game is considered canon, it adds very little to the series’ overarching storyline and can easily be skipped. Additionally, the game was made for early cell phones, so it’s next impossible to play it without emulation.

God of War Games in Release Order

1. God of War (2005)
2. God of War II (2007)
3. God of War: Chains of Olympus (2008)
4. God of War III (2010)
5. God of War: Chains of Olympus (2010)
6. God of War: Ascension (2013)
7. God of War (2018)
8. God of War: Ragnarök

This list does not contain any of the various remasters for PS3 and PS4, such as the God of War: Collection or God of War III Remastered, nor the PC Port of the 2018 installment. We are only counting the game’s original release dates.

Today HoYoverse released a new trailer for its super-popular action RPG Genshin Impact, focusing on the new character Nahida.

The video leans mostly toward the cinematic, but like most “character demo” ones, is designed to give an impression of what you can expect from Nahida’s powers.

Incidentally, it’s all fun and games, but toward the end, things get dark as they tend to do with Nahida.

Nahida will be made available as a playable character with the newly-revealed version 3.2, and her wish will be the first for the update tomorrow, Nov. 2, 2023.

Nahida’s voices are Kimberley Anne Campbell in English and Yukari Tamura in Japanese. You likely know her because she already voiced Qiqi, on top of Beatrix Brehme in Muv-Luv’s prequel Schwarzesmarken, Talim in Soulcalibur, and many more roles.

You can check the trailer out below both in English and Japanese, so you can hear both voice actresses in action.

Today Aquaplus revealed new videos of the upcoming Utawarerumono JRPG Monochrome Mobius: Rights and Wrongs Forgotten.

The videos focus on showcasing the game’s two different kinds of story cutscenes. The first is similar to previous Utawarerumono Games and to classic visual novels, with 2D characters and environments.

The second video shows off the fully animated kind of cutscene in 3D, which the game also has.

You can check both out below.

The game launches on November 17 for PS5, PS4, and PC Via Steam.

Incidentally, we still don’t know whether the game will release at all in English on PS5 and PS4, as Shiravune has announced the localization only for PC via Steam.

We’ll have to wait and see whether anything is announced on this front going forward.

It’s worth mentioning that early adopters of the Steam release will get a couple of bonuses for a limited time, including a digital art booklet and a digital soundtrack.

The release of Sumeru into Genshin Impact has opened up a completely new set of reactions with the Dendro Element, expanding the roster of powerful teams for players to clear content with.

However, only three Dendro characters are available for players: Collei, Tighnari, and the Dendro Traveler. While Tighnari has carved out his own niche as a Dendro DPS bow-user that thrives in spread teams, Collei and the Dendro Traveler are more suited for supportive roles.

Furthermore, the recent release of Nilou and her kit being geared towards teams that consist of only Dendro and Hydro characters, it’s shown how few Dendro characters are currently in the game, and how limited Nilou’s team composition options currently are.

With that in mind, here are some things to consider regarding the four five-star characters coming to the limited wish banners inGenshin Impact’s 3.2 update, and whether or not they are worth wishing for.

The White Lotus season 2 presents us with a whole new cast of characters, set in the Sicilian branch of the luxurious hotel franchise. Aubrey Plaza, perhaps best known for her role in Parks and Recreation, is one of the main characters this season, and certainly one of the more intriguing ones as well. Here’s what you need to know about Aubrey Plaza’s ethnicity in The White Lotus.

Aubrey Plaza’s Ethnicity in The White Lotus Explained

There’s a short scene between Aubrey Plaza’s character, Harper, and her husband in the premiere episode where she comments that they’re Cameron and Daphne’s “white-passing”, “diverse friends”. For viewers who aren’t necessarily familiar with Plaza herself, this comment might seem a little confusing especially since her ethnicity isn’t immediately obvious just from a first glance.

Aubrey Plaza is actually of Puerto Rican descent; her father is Puerto Rican, and her mother is of Irish and English descent. Plaza has also mentioned that she has Taino ancestry as well –an indigenous people of the Caribbean.

With all that in mind, it makes complete sense for Harper to make the observation that she and her husband Ethan, played by Will Sharpe who is half-Japanese, are basically the “diverse” friends of the Caucasian couple, Cameron and Daphne.

The White Lotus season 2 has officially kicked off on HBO, meaning there’s yet another murder mystery to unravel alongside creator Mike White’s commentary on social and gender politics. The premiere episode has dropped a few hints about the development arcs for some of its main cast, but these can be easily missed if you’re not paying attention. Here’s what the term “incel” means in The White Lotus season 2.

“Incel” Meaning in White Lotus Season 2

A quick Google search of the word “incel” will tell you that this is a portmanteau (a word blend) of the term “involuntary celibate”. It’s a term that’s typically used to describe men who are unable to attract women sexually, and often express anger or hostility towards women because of this quality.

Incels are also described as harboring resentment towards women because of their inability to attract women, and has led to the forming of an “incel” subculture where men gather to share in their hate for women. Often, these hate groups are isolated to just online forums where they spread extremist views, but there have been incidents where these groups have acted violently (such as the 2018 van attack in Toronto).

In the context of The White Lotus, there is a dinner scene in the first episode where Cameron jokingly refers to Ethan as the “original incel”, as he’d spend a lot of time in his room working, and never hung out with women during their college days. Cameron quickly takes the statement back and compliments Ethan for being a handsome guy, but as we’ve seen in the first season, lots of subtle clues have been hidden away in what can initially seem like an off-handed comment or joke.

When players level up their weapons in multiplayer matches, they’ll receive several attachments that can improve their overall performance.

Morgana from Persona 5 is one of several DLC characters in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. Other characters, like Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza series have appeared in the game, alongside characters from other notable Sega franchises. These include Sonic from Sonic the Hedgehog and Jet from Jet Set Radio.

It also features an online leaderboard function, but does not feature online play outside of remote sharing.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania is avaialble on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X & S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC. The Persona 5 Morgana DLC for Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania will be available until November 3, 2022.

Scathach Skadi is set to debut in Fate/Grand Order Arcade. Like in the mobile version of the game, Scathach Skadi will be an SSR Caster. Players can expect to see her in arcades starting on November 1, 2022. She, along with Servants such as EMIYA, will be on pick-up until December 15, 2022. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

The video shows her summoning animation, as well as the Arcade version of Gate of Sky, her Noble Phantasm. Due to the difference in gameplay, the description for Gate of Sky is slightly different from the mobile version. In Arcade, it increases the ATK and Crit DMG of allies within an AoE for 50 seconds. It also removes the magical cost you need to evade, grants immunity to insta-death, and reduces damage for 30 seconds. Generally speaking, though, both versions offer the same buffs.

In the lore of Fate/Grand Order, Scathach Skadi hails from the second Lostbelt. She is a separate person entirely from the Proper Human History version of Scathach, and her personality leans heavily into her ‘queen’ attribute. It is easier to refer to her as a ‘Skadi with elements of Scathach’ rather than ‘Scathath with a lot of Skadi’s traits.’
