Hot on the trails of the newly-released Forsaken skins, Riot is once again expanding on VALORANT’s weapon lore with the upcoming Tethered Realms bundle. The new skin line, which will debut on May 26, plays on those familiar thematics of good vs. evil seen in the already-existing Forsaken and Sovereign cosmetics. Tethered Realms uses the same shader method seen in Winterwunderland, transitioning between two different scenes whenever you go from sunlight to shade on a map.

The latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise is now available, which means that Zombies fans have some great new maps to play. But one of the biggest hits in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is Blood of the Dead, a remastered version of the fan-favorite Zombies map, Mob of the Dead. Blood of the Dead is much more than just a remake of the previous Zombies map from Black Ops II, however.

The inaugural year of the VALORANT Champions Tour circuit is going out with a bang at Champions in Berlin. A total of 16 teams will collide in the Verti Music Hall for the right to be called the first VALORANT world champions. Some of the biggest names from the hottest regions are competing in the group stages. Sentinels, Team Envy, and Cloud9 headline a dangerous North American collection of teams, with Acend, Team Liquid, Fnatic, and Masters Berlin winners Gambit representing the EMEA region.

After over 900 days, Fortnite’s rarest skin has returned. Recon Expert has finally reappeared in the Item Shop. Fortnite’s shop usually updates at night in the U.S. But for some reason, Recon Expert was added as an early morning surprise today at around 4am CT. The skin costs 1,200 V-Bucks and even comes with a variant, which equips the skin with a hat. Recon Expert was first sold in October 2017, right after the battle royale mode for Fortnite initially released.

League of Legends’ first patch of the year is on its way, set to solidify changes made in the preseason for the 2022 season’s official launch on Jan. 7. Riot Phlox, a designer on the Summoner’s Rift team for League, revealed a preview of what players can expect to accompany Patch 12.1, which is set to be released on Jan. 4. Though not many champions and items are being changed, this patch does include the controversial Teleport changes that aim to make the summoner spell much less potent in the early stages of the game.

When people think of the term “well-rounded,” they may think it means being good (or at least decent) at multiple different things. And if that’s the case, don’t show them Pokémon UNITE’s version of Machamp, a Pokémon that excels in the right circumstances. That’s not to say that Machamp isn’t a good choice, but getting the most out of the Pokémon requires the right player or team composition due to his limited, yet overwhelming, moveset.

Pokémon Sword and Shield is rolling out a new Wild Area Event, and this one completely focuses on everyone’s favorite Electric-type mouse.  Starting on May 12, Gigantimax Pikachu will be making its Max Raid Battle debut in Sword and Shield, and it will appear regardless of the raid level. Dragapult, Togekiss, Tyranitar and the Rotom forms have all been removed from the boosted raid list and have been totally replaced by Pikachu.

Riot Games has revealed Spectrum, VALORANT’s first audio-driven skin line created in collaboration with world-renowned DJ Zedd.  VALORANT is home to dozens of unique skin designs that are perfect for almost any aesthetic, ranging from minimal designs to futuristic bundles of color. But the new Spectrum skin line takes a different approach, focusing on the sound design first and the skin models last.  “For Spectrum, we worked backwards—with audio first, VFX second, and model last,” said Chris Stone, senior weapons artist for VALORANT.

The “Chat Room Not Connected” error in VALORANT may seem harmless at first. It’s one of the first signs that there’s something wrong with your connection to the VALORANT servers, however, and you may not even be able to play a match after receiving this error. This error usually comes back after launch periods where Riot introduces new content patches. These patches attract new and old players, increasing the overall load of the servers.

For some Destiny 2 players, fashion is the true endgame. In Season of the Splicer, Bungie added a new way for players to tweak their look just how they want. The Armor Synthesis system is a take on the established transmog feature, and it lets guardians transform their favorite looks into Universal Ornaments that can go into any piece of non-Exotic armor. To create an Ornament, players will have to complete a bounty from Ada-1, then turn the materials into resources they can actually use with a little help from Ada-1 and her Loom.
