Pokémon fans in Japan who are planning to purchase the 2022 title Pokémon Legends: Arceus can score a limited-edition Pokémon OCG card by pre-ordering the game. Arceus V will be included with physical pre-orders of the game in Japan, The Pokémon Company announced today. This special art promo card boasts a stamp with the game’s title on its face. The card may not be the most powerful in terms of playability, however.

Riot Games has introduced a hotfix to resolve issues that inadvertently shadow nerfed Raze that were caused by a movement speed bug surrounding Blast Pack and Showstopper. The devs have also solved a glitch that was causing the user interface to remain visible for players throughout matches. The issues appeared following the introduction of VALORANT Patch 4.10 on May 26, which added quality-of-life features, adjustments to Haven, and more to the game.

The latest addition to the Street Fighter franchise, Street Fighter V, has remained one of the most popular fighting games since it was first released in 2016. Boasting a massive roster of characters from the previous games in the series, Street Fighter V is the most complete title to date. While the franchise has consistently produced high-quality fighting experiences, one thing that has kept players coming back to this entry has been the ranked mode.

The first major patch following Lost Ark’s Western release has seen countless players flock to the servers again to discover the new content, including the Glaivier subclass, new events, skins, first Ark Pass, and the new South Vern continent. This continent comes with lots of new collectibles on the side of a main story to progress through. Players who are willing to complete their Mokoko seed collection will have some work to do with the two new maps, Candaria Territory and Bellion Ruins.

The Lock-In tournament is returning to kick-start the 2022 season of the LCS. Like last year’s inaugural iteration, the 10 LCS teams are going to be split into two groups of five—and those groups have now been officially revealed. The LCS announced the lineups for both groups heading into the 2022 Lock-In tournament, which is set to start on Jan. 14. Group A consists of the 2021 LCS champions 100 Thieves, Cloud9, TSM, Golden Guardians, and FlyQuest.

The level of competition in Call of Duty: Mobile tends to be high. Players looking to prove their skill against others strive to place higher in the leaderboard and secure their ranks amongst the best CoD: Mobile players. With seasons coming and going, players earn rewards based on their performance, while their ranks get reset. This allows players to relive the ranked grind and see if they still have what it takes to reach their rank from the previous seasons.

Fortnite: Battle Royale’s long-awaited season X is here and, as usual, Epic Games has made some changes to the map. The most obvious change so far is the return of Dusty Depot, which was destroyed many seasons ago. Players will be able to explore and relive their season one glory days at the area while trying to uncover the mysteries of season X. The monster skeleton remains in place from last season at the cost of some notable exclusions from the map.

Knowing your way around any battle royale map is crucial to a player’s success. Being able to drop in a place and immediately know what to expect when running into a building, opening a closed door, or rounding a corner can be the difference between surviving and being eliminated. This is also true in Fortnite, which holds small cities packed full of nooks and crannies, wide-open plains, and high-altitude vistas from which players can see almost clearly across the map.

It’s not a particularly well-kept secret that Riot Games loves to make skins for Akali. Among all League of Legends champions on the game’s roster, Akali sits in a tie for fifth with 14 different skins in her catalog.  Practically every skin for Akali is different from a thematic standpoint since the champion is incredibly versatile in her design. With skins where she’s depicted as a samurai-inspired ninja and others where she takes on the appearance of an urban popstar, Akali’s range is unrivaled.

If you’re all caught up to the recent act of Riot Games’ newest animated series, Arcane, then you’ll recognize one of the newest characters to join the show. (If you haven’t watched the second act of show, avoid reading on unless you don’t mind spoilers.) Now, in the first episode of Act Two, we are introduced to the mysterious masked leader of a new rebel group called the Firelight. Both he and the group are set to be a major player in the final act of the series.
