Rise VALORANT players Jason “Neptune” Tran and Ryan “Shanks” Ngo are set to enter restricted free agency, multiple sources told Dot Esports on March 28.  The move follows the failed negotiations between the mystery buyer and Rise, as first reported by Dot earlier today. The Rise core was set to join the organization, the identity of which was never disclosed, but the possible buyer failed to maintain communication with Rise and the deal fell through as a result.

Niantic has prepared sweet celebrations for Pokémon Go fans around the world to enjoy with the upcoming Pokémon Go Fest, which will run on July 17 and 18. On top of multiple rewards, limited-time events will punctuate the two-day festival. Players will be able to purchase a ticket for $5, which will be much less costly than previous Pokémon Go Fests. And even without a ticket, fans will be able to enjoy certain parts of the event for free.

Pokémon UNITE has received its latest update, bringing the game to version 1.5.1.6 and offering a shiny-new mode for players to try out. The game’s new mode, Catch ‘Em Battles, will allow players to take advantage of powerful wild Pokémon and wield them in battle. These include Zapdos, Regigigas, Avalugg, and other key objectives you’ll find during a match. Catch ‘Em Battles will remain in the rotation from now until June 27.

When it comes to setting the atmosphere in MMORPGs, it takes more than decent visuals to capture an epic vibe. Sound and voice effects will be as significant as the visual effects, helping players to blend in with the atmosphere and the story. Considering games of Lost Ark’s caliber aim to be appealing to multiple audiences in the world, they tend to have multiple language options to make sure all players can understand the technical depth of the game as they progress through the levels.

Stats make the starter. Or in this case, the better stats could help you get an eventual edge if you plan on keeping your starter Pokémon with you throughout your journey in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Even without the competitive battling aspect that most Pokémon games have, optimizing your Pokémon’s stats through the use of natures is still an important factor in building a team.  A nature is a descriptor to give a Pokémon more personality.

VALORANT players can soon pick up the new Neptune skin bundle to add an under the sea vibe to some of their favorite weapons.  VALORANT is full of weapon skins of all shapes and sizes. Some skins are simple and add a splash of color, while others are outlandish and significantly alter the design of each gun. The latest Neptune bundle leans into this concept, giving each weapon an ocean-inspired makeover.

Call of Duty: Warzone Pacific’s Season Two Reloaded update brought the Armaguerra 43 submachine gun to the meta, and it’s still a solid choice of weaponry in certain loadouts. The gun’s in-game description calls it a “very high rate-of-fire SMG” that is “effective at short to medium range engagements,” and it’s a very apt way to describe the new gun. It’s a bullet hose, especially up close, but not meant for long-range engagements on Caldera or elsewhere.

New World‘s void gauntlet is the new addition to the arsenals of almost every healer in Aeternum. It’s not just healers that will benefit from it, though, and magic-based DPS players will also find a tremendous deal of utility in the void gauntlet. The void gauntlet can debuff enemies, buff allies, and even heal, providing a series of ways to build the weapon. The Annihilation tree focuses on dealing or boosting damage, while Decay is all about debuffs.

Many fans have wondered how much money their favorite streamers and content creators make—and now Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang has given some in-depth information on the topic. The popular Hearthstone player and Twitch streamer released a YouTube video earlier this week on the subject, breaking down exactly how streamers can make money on Twitch. He separated a streamer’s income into four categories: Donations, advertisements, subscriptions, and sponsorships. Donations and ads aren’t too complicated—Disguised Toast said he makes roughly $2,500 per month through donations and about $4,000 a month via ads (without hardly ever “pressing the ad button”).

If you typically use Facebook to login to Pokémon Go, you may have encountered an error when you trying to do so recently. Players have been reporting issues with logging in via Facebook, noting that a message pops up listing the feature as unavailable.  The error message specifically says “Feature Unavailable: Facebook Login is currently unavailable for this app” when players try to login. This has the same effect as other “failed to log in” or “unable to authenticate” pop-ups, and Niantic has some general fixes for players to try.
