Season 9 of Fortnite is well underway, and on top of the usual weekly and Utopia challenges, Epic is holding a Downtown Drop limited-time mode, which comes with its own assortment of tasks to complete and rewards to unlock. Most of these are fairly self-explanatory, but one that'll require a little more work is to search O-N-F-I-R-E letters. These are scattered around the map, so if you need help finding them, we're here to show you where to go.The Downtown Drop LTM takes place in its own self-contained map, which greatly limits the area you'll need to search to find the letters. Even so, the map can be confusing to navigate thanks to all of the ramps and corners it features, especially since you're constantly slipping and sliding as you play the mode, so knowing exactly where to look for the letters will greatly alleviate the frustration of this challenge. You can see where each of the letters is located below:O: Next to the red car in the southeast cornerN: Near the basketball courtF: Near the Durrr Burger food truckI: Near the secret tunnel leading to the sewersR: In front of the crane truck at the end of the mapE: By the subway turnstileOnce you've found all six letters, the challenge will be complete, and you'll earn a stylish back board for your troubles. If you need more help finding the letters, we show you exactly where each one is located in the video at the top of this guide. You'll need to hurry if you're hoping to unlock the back board, however; the Downtown Drop LTM is slated to end on June 3, giving you only a few more days to finish this challenge.While most of the Downtown Drop challenges are fairly straightforward and should be easy enough to complete with a little persistence, another one that may give you some trouble is to find Jonesy. There are actually three separate challenges of this sort, and they task you with finding a cutout of the character in various areas of the map. You can see all of the locations in our video walkthrough.Beyond the Downtown Drop LTM, Week 4's challenges are also now available. These are likewise mostly straightforward, but the trickiest of the bunch is to dance inside the holographic tomato head, holographic Durrr Burger head, and dumpling head. You can find tips for previous challenges in our complete Fortnite Season 9 challenge guide.Info from Gamespot.com

Disney has released a set of new character posters for the upcoming Lion King remake, and they're quite a sight to behold. As you will have noticed from the first trailer, the new Lion King utilizes cutting-edge technology to make characters like Simba, Mufasa, and Scar look eerily life-like.

Netflix plans to raise the price of its subscriptions in the UK for the first time since 2017, the company has said. Two of its three membership options will go up in price, with the other remaining the same.The two options affected are the mid-range standard tariff, which will soon cost £9 per month, having previously cost £8 per month. This popular option allows you to stream HD TV and films to two devices at a time.The premium option, which currently costs £9 per month and allows you to stream ultra HD content to four devices, will increase to £11 per month, while the basic SD-only package will remain at £6 per month. The new prices will be rolled out over the coming weeks for existing customers, but are effective immediately for new members.Netflix told BBC News the price hike was necessary "to reflect the significant investments we've made in new TV shows and films." The new prices take Netflix's standard tariff above the £8 per month Amazon charges for Prime Video, while NowTV ranges from £8 to £34 per month, depending on the type of shows you like to watch. Other UK streaming services are funded by advertising or license fees.Netflix recently overtook Sky TV as the most popular TV service in the UK. However, things could be shaken up in the coming months: the BBC and ITV plan to launch a joint BritBox service in the UK soon, while Amazon Prime will begin showing live Premier League matches from next season. Apple and Disney also have streaming services in the works.Netflix's slate of shows to arrive soon includes Black Mirror Season 5 and The Witcher, which recently finished production.Info from Gamespot.com

Larian Studios, the developer behind Divinity: Original Sin and Original Sin 2, has dropped what appears to be a teaser for a new Baldur's Gate.The official site has updated with a "III" logo, though the stylized lettering isn't quite unique enough to necessarily identify it as belonging to Baldur's Gate. As some savvy Twitter users have pointed out, though, the metadata refers to the image as "BaldursGate_logo_III_retouched." It's possible this wasn't meant to be seen and is something of an inside joke, but it could also mean the studio is bringing Baldur's Gate back. The timing of this tease could suggest that the studio is preparing a reveal at E3 2019.The series has been relatively quiet recently. An Enhanced Edition port of the original Baldur's Gate was released in 2013, and a new expansion was released in 2016, under Atari and the Canadian publisher Beamdog. The last numbered Baldur's Gate game released in 2000, developed by BioWare. The Divinity games have gained critical acclaim of their own. GameSpot's review of Original Sin 2 awarded it a 10/10, which would make the studio a good fit for reviving the classic series."From lonely farmhouses through pitched battles with gods in far-flung dimensions, Divinity: Original Sin II is one of the most captivating role-playing games ever made in both its original and Definitive incarnations, with the latter proving that even the most complicated role-players can be ported successfully to gamepad-limited consoles," Brett Todd wrote. "This immaculately conceived and emotion-wrought fantasy world, topped by brilliant tactical combat, make it one of the finest games of recent years, and it remains an instant classic in the pantheon of RPG greats."Info from Gamespot.com

Robert Pattinson has won the role of the Dark Knight. It has been reported that Warner has approved Pattinson as the star of The Batman, the upcoming DC movie to be directed by War for the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves.According to Deadline, the studio has decided to move forward with Pattinson as Batman after considering him and X-Men star Nicholas Hoult. The news that Pattinson was the front-runner was first reported earlier this month. Deadline states that both actors were impressive contenders, but ultimately the studio went with the former Twilight star. The site also reports that DC is intending to make a trilogy of Batman movies with Pattinson in the lead. An official announcement is expected soon.Pattinson is best known for his role as Edward in the Twilight series. He also appeared in two Harry Potter movies as Cedric Diggory, and has more recently starred in a series of acclaimed indie movies, such as Good Time, High-Life, and the upcoming The Lighthouse. He is also set to appear in Christopher Nolan's next film, the thriller Tenet, which is now in production.The Batman hits theaters on June 25, 2021. The movie has been in the works for several years, with Ben Affleck originally set to star and direct it. Affleck stepped down as director in early 2017, and more recently confirmed that he was no longer involved at all, stating that he had "tried to direct a version of it, but couldn't crack it."In a recent interview, Reeves hinted at what fans could expect from the movie. "It's very much a point of view-driven, noir Batman tale," he said. "It's told very squarely on his shoulders, and I hope it's going to be a story that will be thrilling but also emotional. It's more Batman in his detective mode than we've seen in the films. The comics have a history of that. He's supposed to be the world's greatest detective, and that's not necessarily been a part of what the movies have been."Info from Gamespot.com

Only one weekend remains before Destiny 2 receives its next content drop: Penumbra, the final content addition covered under the game's Year Two annual pass. June 4 starts the Season of Opulence, the last new content addition before Bungie outlines the "next chapter" of Destiny--and since it's the weekend, that makes this the last visit by Exotics peddler Xur before the start of the new season. A bug previously made it so Xur only packed armor this week instead of a weapon, but according to Bungie, that's been straightened out.Xur is hanging out in the Tower this week. Head to the Hangar and turn left from the stairs, past Dead Orbit, to find Xur up on the catwalk near the edge of the area. Now that Xur's inventory has been fixed, you can pick up SOROS Regime, an assault rifle that does extra damage with the bottom half of its magazine and has a chance of healing you when you land a kill.Xur Exotics For May 31-June 4SUROS Regime (Exotic auto rifle) -- 29 Legendary ShardsAeon Safe (Exotic Titan gauntlets) -- 23 Legendary ShardsFrost-EE5 (Exotic Hunter leg armor) -- 23 Legendary ShardsWings of Sacred Dawn (Exotic Warlock chest armor) -- 23 Legendary ShardsIf you're bummed about not getting a gun from Xur this week, you can also buy a Fated Engram, if you can afford it.

Bandai Namco has released a new dev diary for Digimon Survive, an upcoming survival strategy RPG based on the franchise about digital monsters. The video acts as a lead-up to both the game's release and the upcoming 20th anniversary for the international debut of the original Digimon Adventure anime, recounting the history of Digimon and how it has influenced the development of Digimon Survive. This video is linked below."At present, the Digimon Story series is acting as our core property since we believe that it's our best property to further expand Digimon's reach, but we also have another series known as Digimon World that while strongly supported by our core fans, is rather specialized in its game mechanics making it somewhat harder for more casual fans and customers to get into, leading us to spend some time thinking about how we can change this, how we can keep the unique gameplay style and feeling of a new game while also creating a Digimon game that's a new approach, and this is what led us to develop Digimon Survive," producer Kazumasa Habu said."We also looked at one of the key features of the Digimon Adventure anime, where Digimon grew stronger to reflect people's hearts, and wondered what would happen if we incorporated that element into a game," he continued. "We thought it would be fun to have the drama between the characters factor into how the Digimon evolve within the game." Habu went on to describe how Digimon Adventure played a huge role in Digimon Survive's development, citing the anime as inspiration for the game's storytelling, art style, and character designs.In this regard, the Bandai Namco team turned to the original source when it came to building Digimon Survive's world--director Hiroyuki Kakudō. "One of the most interesting things I heard from [Kakudō] was that Digimon, as titled, were not born because humans created computers but instead became visible to human beings only because they created computers and digital technology," Habu said. "He told me that he wrote the world of Digimon with this in mind, that Digimon have been living alongside humans throughout history and that Digimon in the past may have been manifested through magic or sorcery or in Japan, via the ancient art of onmyo, subjugating them as shikigami, or as yokai, or even as demons… One of the concepts we have for this game is whether or not we can bring to life and expand on this challenging fictional world [Kakudō] has envisioned."Bandai Namco's contribution to Digimon's lore seems to be the end of the Digital World or at least some sort of implication that it undergoes a cycle of destruction and rebirth. Habu describes Digimon Survive's world as a place of "severe ruin, the sort of tragic place so broken that it might vanish at any given moment."Even though we still don't know much about Digimon Survive, it's my most anticipated game of 2019. The game is expected to launch on Xbox One, PS4, PC, and Nintendo Switch.Info from Gamespot.com

Ubisoft announced Ghost Recon Breakpoint nearly a month before E3 2019. The last game, Wildlands, received only a middling reception at launch, but the studio committed itself to long-term support with plenty of post-launch content, tweaks, and special events to keep fans entertained. That sets the stage for Breakpoint, a direct sequel to Wildlands, to learn from its predecessor and come out stronger off the starting block.With Ghost Recon Breakpoint sure to light up the Ubisoft stage at E3, we review what we already know about the upcoming Tom Clancy game--and what we're hoping to learn from the event.What We Know So FarThanks to an in-depth announcement event, we know quite a bit about Breakpoint already. It takes place in Auroa, a fictional Pacific archipelago that houses the Skell Technology corporation. That company specializes in drone tech with military applications, so the Ghosts are sent to investigate when communication from the company ceases.The game focuses on a conflict with a similar paramilitary group called the Wolves and places a greater emphasis on stealth and survival elements to outwit your contemporaries. The Wolves are led by Cole D. Walker, played by actor Jon Bernthal. Walker was introduced in Operation Oracle for Wildlands, which set the stage for the Breakpoint announcement. As opposed to Wildlands, Breakpoint features distinct character classes instead of perks and abilities. Players who pre-order Breakpoint will get access to the beta test. We also got hands-on impressions at a demo event.Ghost Recon: Breakpoint launches for PC, PS4, and Xbox One on October 4.What's Confirmed For E3?Ghost Recon Breakpoint is one of the only games we know from Ubisoft's fall lineup, though the company has announced it has three more AAA games coming early next year. It will be a big part of this year's Ubisoft press conference, to take place on Monday, June 10 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET. (Check our full press conference schedule for other show dates and times). Ubisoft has not detailed exactly what we'll see from Breakpoint at this year's press conference, but it's a good bet that the presentation will include an in-depth look at one of its biggest franchises.What We Hope To See At E3Though Wildlands eventually became an engaging live game thanks to a steady stream of updates and close attention to community feedback, its launch was fairly bare-bones and repetitive. With Breakpoint, it has an opportunity to start stronger having already taken all that time in development to heart.That will mean showing, or at least hinting at, a post-launch roadmap. From Assassin's Creed Odyssey to For Honor to Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has gained a reputation for robust live support, even among traditionally campaign-based games. Breakpoint can imitate this success with a steady stream of additional operators, new missions, and even larger world-changing events. The pitch for Breakpoint at E3 should be not just what it will be at launch, but how Ubisoft plans to keep interest alive well into 2020 and perhaps beyond.Beyond that, the E3 presentation is almost certain to display the Tom Clancy flair for military thrillers, and we should get a taste of the game's themes and ideas. Though Ubisoft assures us that the game isn't making political statements, that doesn't mean that it can't use the medium to observe and reflect ideas like military automation and paramilitary groups. While not making an overt statement, players could have their own viewpoints challenged and expanded if allowed to examine the world through new eyes.Info from Gamespot.com
