Steam's long-awaited library redesign finally has a release date. If you have a registered Steam account you'll be able to opt-in to an open beta on September 17 to peruse the library's visual overhaul and try out all the new features.The update introduces two key changes to your Steam library. First up is a new lick of paint that sees the landing page redesigned with a more modern look, and displays quick access to game updates, recently played games, friend activity, and your collections. Valve is also making it much easier to see what your friends have been up to and what they're currently playing, with all of the relevant information now displayed on the home page.Secondly, the addition of Events will highlight patches and in-game events, and give developers the option to share anything they like, from live streams to fan art. Valve says it wants you to know what's happening with the games you already own without bombarding you with notifications, and Events aims to do just that.Developers have access to Event-creating tools starting today, so your Steam library will be populated with Events once the overhaul goes live on September 17. Valve has promised that more updates and in-depth information on the upcoming features will be released as we approach the open beta's launch.This long-in-development update comes at a good time for Valve. Steam has found itself facing some stiff competition in the PC storefront space. The new Epic Games Store has signed a number of exclusivity deals with games over the past year, including Metro Exodus, Shenmue 3, and Oddworld: Soulstorm. Epic recently announced eight more exclusives at PAX West. Then there's GOG Galaxy 2.0, which promises to unify all of your PC games in one single client, solving one of PC gaming's biggest problems.Info from Gamespot.com

A new batch of Season 10 challenges has arrived in Fortnite. Week 6's set of missions is called Boogie Down, and as you've likely guessed, most of the tasks involve dancing in various places around the island. One challenge that may throw you for a loop is to dance in front of a bat statue, a way-aboveground pool, and a seat for giants. If you have no idea where any of those are located, don't worry; this guide will show you where to go.Where Are The Bat Statue, Way-Aboveground Pool, And Seat For Giants Locations?As the challenge states, you need to bust a move in front of three unique landmarks to complete this task. That's the easy part; the tricky part is actually tracking down the landmarks, which is pretty difficult given how vague the clues are. Thankfully, once you know where to look, they're very easy to find.The bat statue, fittingly enough, can be found in the northern portion of Haunted Hills. The way-aboveground pool, meanwhile, is located on the Floating Island, which returned to the game following the 10.20 content update. Finally, the seat for giants is in the snowy biome, south of Shifty Shafts; it looks like a massive wooden chair, so you can't miss it.We've marked the landmarks' locations on the map below. Note that the Floating Island is moving around the map, so its location may change, but it'll be easy to spot regardless. How To Complete The ChallengeOnce you know where to look, all you need to do is go to the three landmarks and use a dance emote in front of them. You don't need to visit all three within a single round to complete the standard challenge, so you can head to one, get eliminated, then hop into another match and repeat the process until you've visited all three. However, if you're hoping to complete the Prestige version of this challenge, you'll need to dance in front of all three landmarks within a single match.There are still a few weeks left in Season 10 of Fortnite, which means you have plenty of time to complete any remaining challenges from earlier in the season. If you need help with those, we've gathered up maps and tips for all of the trickier tasks in our complete Fortnite Season 10 challenges roundup.Info from Gamespot.com

After sneaking back into theatres for an Extended Director's Cut last month, that version of Midsommar will see a widespread home video release--sort of. It seems Midsommar's extended version is exclusive to Apple TV and, presumably, other Apple devices.Bloody Disgusting was tapped with the news. Over on the iTunes store, the film's description notes that the upcoming digital release features "[director] Ari Aster’s extended and unrated director’s cut, exclusive to Apple TV." The Midsommar: Extended Director's Cut also includes a time-lapse, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Hälsingland, as well as an exclusive featurette with the film's cast and crew.Midsommar is expected to arrive digitally and On Demand on September 24, and in a Blu-ray Combo Pack (with a DVD and Digital code) and DVD on October 8. The extra goodies in iTunes' Midsommar: Extended Director's Cut will be available on September 24, meaning you'll get to check out the scene Aster absolutely didn't want to cut.In our Midsommar review, we said, "Midsommar is an incredibly strong follow-up to Hereditary, and together, these two auteristic, art-house horror films cement Ari Aster as one of the most talented filmmakers currently working in the genre. Midsommar won't be for everyone--it's not exactly the commercial-minded horror blockbuster we're used to seeing in the middle of summer. But for those who don't mind a strange and terrifying trip, Midsommar is a movie to watch again and again and again."Info from Gamespot.com

One of the more surprising announcements in the September 2019 Nintendo Direct was the immediate release of Deadly Premonition, the cult hit horror game, on Nintendo Switch--rebranded as Deadly Premonition Origins. Though it's an easy way to catch up with the 2010 classic, a persistent bug may put off some players.Based on our playtime, the audio in the open world is inconsistent and will sometimes cut out altogether. The protagonist's lines while driving will sporadically not be delivered, or some ambient sounds will work while others don't. For example, you may hear footsteps but not gunfire. Cutscenes also suffer audio issues, ranging from the audio stopping partway through to delivering music without dialogue. We streamed the game today, and as you can see in the video replay above, we encountered the issue again.A horror game with inconsistent sound can be especially distracting, which makes the Deadly Premonition port hard to recommend in its current state. It also appeared to have a water texture missing in an opening cutscene. GameSpot has contacted Toybox Inc regarding the bugs.The Nintendo Direct also brought word of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise. The sequel will bring back director Hidetaka Suehiro, aka Swery65, and is slated for release in 2020. It will be a prequel set in 2005, and it takes place in a small Louisiana town called Le Carré.Info from Gamespot.com

Last week, LGC Entertainment announced that it had purchased the Telltale Games trademarks, assets, and technology with the intent to re-release some of the beloved developer's games and create new ones. And with this pseudo-revival of Telltale Games comes a sale for some of its best series.New publishing partner Athlon Games is discounting several Telltale titles by 50% from September 5-9. These include Batman and Batman: The Enemy Within for PS4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android. GameSpot's Tamoor Hussain found the first Batman series to be a bit uneven in quality from episode to episode, while praising the second season throughout in his The Enemy Within reviews.My favourite Telltale story, The Wolf Among Us, is also half-off and available for PS4, Xbox One, PC, iOS, and Android. GameSpot's Justin Clark praised its strong writing, characterization, and beautiful noir setting in our The Wolf Among Us review. It's a fantastic little tale that, even though it never got a sequel, stands on its own as something truly great.The sale also discounts some of Telltale's more classic-style adventure games as well. I adore the Puzzle Agent and Puzzle Agent 2, which combine bite-sized puzzles with adventure game trappings. They're both available on PC and iOS. And lastly, Hector: Badge of Carnage is discounted on Steam. It's a humourous tale about a British (and hungover) cop trying to solve crimes.You can check out the available deals below.

Epic has rolled out another set of Season 10 challenges in Fortnite: Battle Royale. This week's batch is called Boogie Down, and fittingly, most of the tasks involve dancing in front of certain objects or in specific locations. However, there are some areas of the island where dancing isn't allowed, and you'll need to go there and destroy the "no dancing" signs to complete one of this week's challenges. If you're not sure where those are located, here's what you need to do.Where Are The No Dancing Sign Locations?There are at least seven "no dancing" signs scattered across the island, and most are spread far apart, so you'll need to do quite a bit of walking around to find them. Thankfully, you only need to destroy three of the signs in order to complete the challenge, so it shouldn't take too long. You can see all of the locations we've found below. Northwest of Junk JunctionOn the mountain between The Block and Pleasant ParkNorthwest of Salty Springs, near the monster skeletonTop platform in Pressure PlantOn the mountain southeast of Paradise PalmsOn a mountain southeast of Frosty FlightsSouthwestern tip of the snow biomeHow To Complete The ChallengeAs previously mentioned, you only need to destroy three signs to complete this challenge, and they don't need to be within the same match, so you can land at one, destroy it either with your harvesting tool or a weapon you picked up, get eliminated, then hop into another match and land at a different sign until you've broken all three. Once the required number of signs have been smashed, the challenge will be complete.We still have a few weeks to go before Season 10 of Fortnite ends, which means there's still plenty of time to complete any remaining challenges from earlier in the season.

Xbox ANZ has announced a new product line around Gears 5, and it might not be what you expect. The company is working with Australian designer Jason Moss on a line of Gears 5-inspired unisex jewellery.There are two products in the collection, the first of which is a Locust-themed necklace featuring gear and skull pendants attached to a silver chain. The other piece is a ring that features the gear and the skull uniquely interwoven into one item to in essence form the crimson omen that the Gears franchise is known for. Both were forged in fire and cast in cold silver.You might not know Moss by name, but you may be familiar with his work. Most recently, he created some of the pieces that Harry Styles wore in his Rolling Stone cover shoot.The Gears of War jewellery is extremely limited, as only 100 of each are being made. Microsoft is giving them away through the Xbox ANZ Facebook; go there to learn how you can win one."We know that fans of Gears are loud and proud when it comes to their passion for the franchise, and we wanted to create something that would allow them to showcase their pride every day. With so many complex themes weaving throughout the Gears universe, Jason Moss with his experimental, raw style was the perfect artist to bring this collection to life," Xbox ANZ boss Tania Chee said in a statement. The Gears of War jewellery is just the latest unique product from Xbox ANZ. Before this, they released the Xbox body wash (which is currently on sale) and the Xbox Onesie.Gears 5 launches today, September 6, through the Ultimate Edition and for Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Everyone else can start playing on September 10. Gears 5 is available for Xbox One and PC.GameSpot awarded Gears 5 a 7/10 in our review in progress. We're currently in the process of testing the multiplayer servers more extensively before handing down a final verdict.Info from Gamespot.com

The Epic Games Store has continued to offer free weekly games for its users, and another solid batch of games are now available: The End Is Nigh and Abzu. It's hard to top last week's offering of freebies--Celeste and Inside--but it's worth claiming these latest free games while they're available for the next week. To take advantage of these weekly free games, all you need is a free Epic Games account. Once you add them to your account, the games are yours to keep--no subscription of any sort needed.Abzu is an underwater adventure game where you play as a diver exploring lush ocean environments, from kelp forests to coral reefs and black trenches, encountering all kinds of sea life along the way. Its development team included several people who worked on Journey, and Abzu is similar to that game in that there's no dialogue or overt story. It did, however, earn a 9/10 in GameSpot's Abzu review."When I die, I hope whatever happens next is even half as beautiful as Abzu," wrote critic Scott Butterworth. "Its mesmerizing soundtrack and Wind Waker-esque visuals are among the most enrapturing in recent memory, yet the game's true beauty stems not from its bittersweet score and inviting undersea environments but from its unfailing ability to imbue every moment with childlike wonder. Abzu is serene and meditative, calming and cathartic, moving and timeless, its simple components assembled so elegantly as to become something altogether richer."Then you've got The End Is Nigh, an apocalyptic platformer from the developer of Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac. In The End Is Nigh, you'll control a small black blob called Ash, one of the sole survivors of "the end of the world." As you make your way through over 600 single-screen levels, you'll gather collectibles that consist of tumors and video game cartridges (yes, you read that right). There are also multiple endings and bonus levels to be discovered. While GameSpot hasn't reviewed The End Is Nigh, the game has generally positive reviews on Metacritic and Steam.Abzu and The End Is Nigh will be available for free via the Epic Games Store until next Thursday, September 12, when they'll be replaced by Conarium as the next free game.Get Abzu and The End Is Nigh free at EpicInfo from Gamespot.com

The John Wick series has delivered some phenomenal action sequences through its three movies. One of these moments featured Wick riding a horse through New York City while assassins on motorcycles were chasing after him, trying to kill him. And one of the special features from the upcoming home release for John Wick 3: Parabellum details how the scene came together and features a very excited Keanu Reeves.While this special feature titled "Saddle Up Wick" goes into great detail about the ins and outs of this sequence and its training, the real star of the piece is the breathtaking visage and interviews with Keanu Reeves.This scene came together simply because the idea of John Wick on a horse is an awesome sight. "When we were finishing [John Wick] Chapter 2, I was like, 'Ok. We're in the park. John is running for his life. Let's get John on a horse,'" Reeves said with the level of excitement of a child getting a pony for Christmas. "[Director Chad Stahelski] was like, 'Yes!'" You can see a portion of Saddle Up Wick below.Special features for home releases can be a bit dry and dull, but Keanu Reeves makes this featurette well-worth your time because there is nothing better than watching him riding a horse, with a gigantic smile on his face.Reeves explained he was excited to begin training, and the film's horse wrangler said the actor had a lot of respect for the animals. The featurette goes into extreme detail about laying down rubber mats on the streets of New York to protect the horse's hooves, how the FX team digitally removed the wire harnesses holding Reeves up, and the specially built truck to film the sequence and hold the actor upright on the horse at the same time. However interesting that may all be, nothing is as great as seeing Reeves trying to contain his excitement as soon as the cameras stop rolling.John Wick 3: Parabellum on Blu-ray$20See it on AmazonParabellum scored a 7/10 on GameSpot where Mike Rougeau said in his review of the movie, "Keanu Reeves' John Wick is still the instant classic action anti-hero he's always been, and John Wick 3 absolutely delivers loads more of what the series' fans love. It's just that, for the first time, it's possible to envision a future in which we love it less and less."John Wick 3 comes to DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on Tuesday, September 10. The special features contain nine featurettes about the world of John Wick and the action sequences filmed for the movie. Additionally, there is a game trailer for John Wick Hex, which should arrive in 2020.The products discussed here were independently chosen by our editors. GameSpot may get a share of the revenue if you buy anything featured on our site.Info from Gamespot.com

Week 6 of Fortnite Season 10 has arrived, which means there's a new batch of challenges for Battle Pass holders to complete in Epic's popular battle royale game. This week's set is called Boogie Down, and as the name implies, most of the challenges revolve around music or dancing, like one that asks you to visit an oversized piano. This challenge may be tricky if you're not sure where the piano is located, which is why we've put together this map and guide to help you out.Where Is The Oversized Piano Located?The oversized piano has been a fixture of the island for some time, so if you're a Fortnite veteran, you'll likely already know where to go. If you're not as familiar with the island, the piano can be found on the easternmost edge, just east of Lonely Lodge--head there and you'll see a giant keyboard on the ground. If you need more help finding it, we've marked its location on the map below.How To Complete The ChallengeOnce you know where the piano is, completing this challenge is simply a matter of going to it--no note playing necessary. However, once you've completed all seven of the standard Boogie Down challenges, you'll unlock harder Prestige versions of them, and the Prestige equivalent of this tasks has you playing the sheet music located nearby.There are still a few weeks to go before Season 10 of Fortnite ends, so you have plenty of time to complete any remaining challenges from this season. If you need help with those, you can find maps and tips for all of the trickier missions in our complete Fortnite Season 10 challenges guide.Ahead of the Week 6 challenges, Epic rolled out Fortnite's 10.20 content update, which added a new throwable item to the game: the Zapper Trap. The update also brought the Floating Island from Season 6 back, and you'll need to visit it if you're trying to complete the dance in front of a bat statue, way-aboveground pool, and a seat for giants challenge.Info from Gamespot.com

While movies such as Halloween and Friday the 13th are widely credited with kickstarting the slasher movie craze of the 1980s, they were predated by the low budget 1974 Canadian movie Black Christmas. Bob Clark's brilliantly tense chiller has been remade once before already, back in 2006, and now another version hits theaters in December. The first trailer has been released.Unlike the earlier Black Christmas remake, this latest movie does seem to take the storyline in a different direction. The initial setup is the same--a group of partying college students are menaced by a killer on the last day before the Christmas vacation. But the trailer suggests that there is some wider conspiracy going on, with the sorority sisters teaming up to fight back. Check the trailer out below--just be warned that it does seem to give quite a lot away.The official Black Christmas synopsis reads: "Hawthorne College is quieting down for the holidays. But as Riley Stone and her Mu Kappa Epsilon sisters prepare to deck the halls with a series of seasonal parties, a black-masked stalker begins killing sorority women one by one. As the body count rises, Riley and her squad start to question whether they can trust any man.
