Celeste was one of 2018's best games, and it's getting free DLC on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch soon. The game's creator, Matt Thorson, has shared details of the update on Twitter, and it sounds promising.The expansion will consist of a new chapter containing some of the most difficult levels in the game. The added stages feature new items and mechanics, but no collectible strawberries, unlike the main game. No release date was mentioned for the DLC, only that it will be after the game's one-year anniversary on January 25.Some Celeste DLC Chapter details:-It won't be ready for the anniversary on Jan 25th, sorry!-It's all one continuous chapter, no B-Side-It's after the current hardest levels in difficulty-No strawberries-There are some new items/mechanics-Free on all platforms — Matt Thorson 🍂 (@MattThorson) January 12, 2019We awarded the platformer a 9/10 in our Celeste review. "It's a testament to convincing writing and ingenious design that after playing Celeste I felt like I'd been on the same journey as Madeline," we said. "Her struggle is one made easy to empathize with, her low points painful to watch, and her high notes exhilarating to experience. Her tale is delicately told and beautifully illustrated, confidently coalescing with the satisfying, empowering game it lies within. Not bad for a game about climbing a mountain."Celeste is free thanks to Xbox One's Games With Gold program right now. Hurry though, it will go back to full price on January 31, while you have even less time to grab the month's other free games.Info from Gamespot.com

Whenever Dwayne Johnson stars in a movie, you can be sure that he's going to take every opportunity to publicize it. Johnson is set to reprise his role as Agent Luke Hobbs in the upcoming Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs & Shaw and has now released another image from the movie.This latest picture seems to be taken in the same location as the one released in December. It shows Johnson alongside co-star Jason Statham as mercenary-for-hire Owen Shaw, and Idris Elba as the movie's villain, Brixton. In his Instagram post, Johnson describes Elba's character as "the baddest bad guy the Fast & Furious franchise has ever had." Check it out below: View this post on InstagramAn exclusive lil’ taste of biggest showdown the summer has ever seen. The Outlaw Lawman, HOBBS. The International Spy, SHAW. The Baddest Bad Guy the Fast & Furious franchise has ever had, BRIXTON. We’re either gonna get along or we get it on. Fuuuck gettin’ along, gettin’ it on is way more fun. On a biz note, this film has been a fun one to produce and our 🌎 audience is gonna have an absolute blast this summer. #FastAndFuriousPresents #HobbsAndShaw @sevenbucksprod @hhgarcia41 📸A post shared by therock (@therock) on Jan 12, 2019 at 8:10pm PST Hobbs & Shaw is directed by Deadpool 2's David Leitch, and also stars Vanessa Kirby (Mission Impossible: Fallout), Eiza González (Baby Driver), and Eddie Marsan (Deadpool 2). It releases on August 2, 2019.In an interview with Entertainment Weekly last month, Johnson spoke about what will set Hobbs & Shaw apart from the insane, over-the-top action of the main Fast & Furious movies. "The main thing that we can do and focus on is how can we evolve," he said. "So instead of thinking of whatever the biggest explosions are with the biggest vehicles and let's drop them from the moon, this is where finding the perfect director comes in with a very unique point of view and perspective, and someone who understands not only action but understands stylistic action mixed in with story and character.""David Leitch just did the new Deadpool and John Wick and Atomic Blonde," Johnson continued. "So you can see the stylistic approach that he has, and he really just stepped up to the plate and took great ownership of this spin-off. He's really been delivering, and if his past movies are an example of what he's been doing, wait until you see this one."In terms of the main series, the currently untitled Fast & Furious 9 is currently scheduled for an April 2020 release. The decision to delay the movie by a year to make way for Hobbs & Shaw caused some controversy in 2017, when co-star Tyreese suggested that if Johnson were to appear, he would not. This follows the reported on-set feud between Johnson and star/producer Vin Diesel during the production of 2017's The Fate of the Furious.Info from Gamespot.com

Fortnite flirted with an deployable glider that would let you soar across the battlefield in style, but quickly ended the test feature. Now it's back as an item, with a handful of changes that Epic says should make the glider fulfill its intended purpose.Starting with the v7.20 patch, the Glider Redeploy will take up an inventory slot and be discoverable as a normal piece of loot in chests, vending machines, and supply llamas. You don't need to select the item, but it will use up charges and then disappear once all the charges have been used. Using Launch Pads, Rifts, and LTM respawns won't use a charge."There was a very split response on the mechanic which revealed some positives as well as some negatives," Epic said in the update detailing the changes. "We removed the mechanic from default modes, but feel an alternative implementation will help in solving some of those negatives and better suits our goals."It says that the goal is to provide "mobility and utility" but to make sure it's balanced and can be iterated on. The new changes aim to give the studio more flexibility for iteration going forward. For Soaring 50s or other large-team modes, you'll automatically start with a Glider with 50 charges.We're in the midst of Season 7 of Fortnite, so if you need some help earning this season's cosmetics while you play with the new glider, check out our challenge guide. Just recently Fortnite changed another aerial vehicle, with an update that nerfed the plane.Info from Gamespot.com

There's more pre-Kirk Star Trek on the way for fans of Star Trek: Discovery. CBS has officially announced a spin-off from its streaming-only series, which will follow Michelle Yeoh's character from Season 1 and her exploits as part of the Federation's secret intelligence agency, Section 31.CBS announced that the spin-off, which is currently untitled, will air exclusively on CBS All Access, the same as Discovery. It sounds as if the new series will take place after the events of Discovery Season 2, which looks to expand on the exploits of Yeoh's character, Philippa Georgiou."The series will be produced by CBS Television Studios, Secret Hideout and Roddenberry Entertainment," the announcement states. "Alex Kurtzman, Heather Kadin, Rod Roddenberry and Trevor Roth will serve as executive producers. Aaron Baiers will serve as co-executive producer along with Bo Yeon Kim and Erika Lippoldt will also write the series."Spinning off a series about Georgiou is going to give Star Trek latitude to explore some of the more interesting aspects of Discovery. The first season saw the titular Federation starship and its crew finding its way into the Mirror Universe, the dark alternate reality that has shown up in a bunch of the Star Trek series. Yeoh played both the Georgiou in the Federation universe, who was killed in Discovery's pilot episode, and the Mirror Universe side. At the end of Season 1, the more violent, slightly evil Mirror Universe version was brought back to the Federation side.The spin-off series will find her as part of Section 31, a clandestine Federation intelligence agency that operates outside the bounds of the rest of the space government. Given Georgiou's predilection for violence and scheming, she should fit right in--but it sounds like this will be a darker look at the Star Trek universe."I'm so excited to continue telling these rich Star Trek stories," Yeoh said in the announcement. "Being a part of this Universe and this character specifically has been such a joy for me to play. I can't wait to see where it all goes--certainly, I believe it will go 'where no WOMAN has ever gone before!'"This will be CBS's fourth Star Trek show: Also in the works are a series about Star Trek: The Next Generation's Captain Jean-Luc Picard, with Sir Patrick Stewart returning to the role, and Star Trek: Lower Decks, an animated comedy series from Rick and Morty executive producer Mike McMahan.Meanwhile, it sounds like we'll be learning more about Georgiou in Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery, which premieres on CBS All Access on January 17.Disclosure: CBS Interactive is the parent company of GameSpot.Info from Gamespot.com

You can find the full patch notes for the update on the Battlefield website.DICE has a lot of other content in store for Chapter 2: Lightning Strikes, including a new Grand Operation--Battle of Hannut--as well as the new Tank Hunter vehicle. The developer is also bringing back the fan-favorite Rush mode for a limited time this March.Info from Gamespot.com

Chances are, the name Young Justice has come up in your life from some corner of pop culture, but with not one but two major returns for the brand dropping this month, the specifics can be a bit confusing. There's the cartoon, Young Justice: Outsiders, the third season of the cult classic that's been six years in the making, and there's the new Young Justice #1, a comic reviving a long defunct superhero team that was shelved back in the early 2000s.To make matters even weirder, the two properties actually have nothing to do with one another. Sort of. Almost. Look, it's complicated--but don't worry, we're here to help.Here is your beginners guide to the world of Young Justice, and a look into what makes both versions of the story well worth your time.Let's Talk ComicsThe origin of the Young Justice brand at DC was, unsurprisingly, a comic. Young Justice #1 was published in 1998, springboarding three core characters--Tim Drake aka Robin, Bart Allen aka Impulse, and Conner Kent aka Superboy--into one ongoing story. They weren't specifically a "team" so much as they were three kids with big name mentors who sort of fell into hanging around with one another--the team stuff just followed naturally. Even the name "Young Justice" fell into their laps as a sort of gag as they wound up practicing some public superheroics and trying to explain to the press afterward that they weren't a new Junior Justice League, they were "young and it's just us."Of course, in the name of slapstick '90s humor the explanation got misheard and the name "Young Justice" wound up sticking. That's when things truly kicked off and the team began to perform in earnest. Tim, Conner, and Bart were joined by other young superheroes from every corner of the DCU and actually garnered a pretty large following both in terms of in-universe notoriety and real life fans. They weren't specifically designed to be a new incarnation of the Teen Titans, but that's largely what they ended up being--and later, the connection became literal when a crossover event in 2003 called Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day officially promoted the Young Justice roster into the new Teen Titans niche.That's actually why the name became defunct--the group didn't actually disband (though some members left and/or faded into obscurity over time) but rather shifted positions and swapped names. With the core roster now taking over as the Teen Titans, the Young Justice brand stepped decidedly out of the spotlight.At least, until now. With the announcement of Brian Michael Bendis' curated imprint, Wonder Comics, Young Justice fans were able to rejoice with an all new issue #1--the first in nearly two decades--that would return the original core line up as a team while bringing in a handful of new characters to the mix.For some characters, this was a lot more than a simple pivot. DC's undergone a number of tricky, multifaceted continuity reboots in the past ten or so years, including the line-wide total revamp known as The New 52, making things like history and canon a bit tricky to puzzle out. Officially, despite versions of Impulse and Superboy existing through the New 52, the ones fans were familiar with in the pre-New 52 era have been missing in action since 2011.Now, however, after another major reboot known as Rebirth, the runway has been cleared for major returns and the puzzle pieces have been slowly placed over the last year or so, making it possible for Bart, Conner, and their friends to actually make the jump back into the limelight.Okay, What About The Cartoon?The first thing you need to understand about the Young Justice cartoon is that it premiered in 2010, long after the name had gone defunct on the comics side of things. The second thing you'll need to understand is that it's officially set on an alternate Earth, meaning it's not actually beholden to any of the comics continuity at all.The Young Justice cartoon, while technically having no real relationship or legitimate connection to its comic book predecessor, borrows pretty heavily from things like tone and style to make its original story work. It's not actually adapting anything in a literal sense, but it does cherry pick all sorts of things from the DC Universe's long history and complicated canon to make something new--meaning that while it is technically a Young Justice property "in name only," it does embody the spirit of Young Justice as a whole.It just does so without really leaning too heavily on any one specific story arc, issue, or team roster from the things that came before it. For example, the core roster of the Young Justice cartoon includes Conner Kent, but uses Wally West instead of Bart Allen for the team's original speedster and Dick Grayson rather than Tim Drake for the team's Robin. Other characters who have never been members of the comics team like Kaldur'ahm, aka Aqualad, are given the spotlight, while heroes like Artemis, the show's amalgam of the comic's original Arrowette and another character named Tigress, were given complete revamps.You absolutely don't have to have a background in the Young Justice comics to understand the show, the same way you don't need to have an understanding of the show to jump into the comics--but it certainly won't hurt you to be familiar with both at any given time. If anything, being comfortable with both iterations of the team and the story will only bolster your overall experience--and make you an Easter egg hunting pro.The third season of the show is currently debuting on the DC streaming service, DC Universe, while the new volume of the comic just release its first issue this month--so, really, no matter which angle you want to tackle the Young Justice franchise from, now is probably the best possible time to take the leap.

10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg has been tapped to helm the Sony Pictures adaptation of Uncharted, Variety reports. This comes following reports late last year that the film adaptation had lost director Shawn Levy due to scheduling conflicts with another game adaptation, Free Guy.Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War) is still set to star as a young Nathan Drake, and will detail his first encounter with his thieving mentor, "Sully" Sullivan. The production date hasn't been nailed down, however, as Sony is organizing it around Holland's press tour for Spider-Man: Far From Home. It hopes to start production this year.Trachtenberg gained notoriety for 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane, a thriller filled with mostly human drama that tied tangentially into the universe created by the cult horror film Cloverfield. It was the first such experiment with using the franchise name for spin-off stories, a strategy that didn't work out as well with last year's The Cloverfield Paradox. He is also known for having shot his own fan film for Portal, and for having directed an episode of Black Mirror.The Uncharted project has gone through several iterations and false starts, and at one point it was set to star Mark Wahlberg in the lead role. This latest script starring Holland was penned by Jonathan Rosenberg and Mark Walker.Info from Gamespot.com

Rocket League is now the second PS4 game to support cross-play with other consoles. Developer Psyonix announced that its hit vehicular soccer game has joined Sony's cross-play beta program, allowing players on PS4 to be matched up with those on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.According to Psyonix, cross-play will be enabled on PS4 by default, although players will be able to opt in or out of it by going to the Options menu and checking the Cross-Platform Play box in the Gameplay tab. When on, it will allow PS4 users to be randomly matched up with or against players on other platforms in Casual, Competitive, and Extra Modes.Additionally, Psyonix says that it will implement a cross-platform party system in an upcoming update. More details about that will be shared "soon," but the feature will allow players to "partner up with friends on any platform with the push of a few buttons."While Rocket League has already supported cross-play between PS4 and PC, Psyonix has long wanted to allow the feature with other consoles. Back in 2016, the developer said it had already figured out how to implement cross-play between PS4 and Xbox One, and all that needed to be done was work out an arrangement between platforms."The only thing we have to do now is sort of find out where we stand politically with everyone, and then it's full steam ahead to finish the solution that we've already started," Psyonix vice president Jeremy Dunham said at the time. "Technologically everything works, we've got it figured out, just a little bit of time to get everything up and running. Right now, excitement is the best way to put it. We just want to get in there and make it happen."After years of preventing cross-network multiplayer between PS4 and other consoles, Sony loosened its rigid stance on the issue somewhat last September when it finally allowed cross-play in Fortnite. While Epic's battle royale game was the sole title to support the feature at the time, it was a welcome sign that Sony was reconsidering its controversial policy, saying it had "identified a path towards supporting cross-platform features for select third-party content.""We recognize that PS4 players have been eagerly awaiting an update, and we appreciate the community's continued patience as we have navigated through this issue to find a solution," John Kodera, president of Sony Interactive Entertainment, said. "We see the beta as an opportunity to conduct thorough testing that ensures cross-platform play is best on PlayStation, while being mindful about the user experience from both a technical and social perspective."Info from Gamespot.com

Capcom has announced that the remake of Resident Evil 2 will see the return of both The 4th Survivor and The Tofu Survivor bonus modes. Both come included in the game at launch, but you'll need to unlock them.The 4th Survivor mode allows you to play as Umbrella Security Service special Agent HUNK, the fourth person to survive the events of Raccoon City, in a standalone canon story. Meanwhile, The Tofu Survivor puts you in control of a person-sized piece of tofu. This story, unfortunately, is not canon. It is, however, much harder to complete, as the piece of tofu can only carry and use a combat knife, two green herbs, and one blue herb.Survive Raccoon City as the Grim Reaper and… a block of tofu?Unlockable bonus modes make their return in Resident Evil 2 with The 4th Survivor and The Tofu Survivor, included with #RE2 at launch on January 25! pic.twitter.com/NR75CQlECX — Resident Evil (@RE_Games) January 14, 2019Both modes existed in the original 1998 Resident Evil 2, but Capcom has not announced if you'll unlock them in the remake via the same method used in the original game. Previously, you unlocked The 4th Survivor by completing both of Leon and Claire's scenarios with an A rank. For The Tofu Survivor, you just had to get six A ranks, but they needed to be achieved consecutively and in under two and a half hours.If you want to try the new Resident Evil 2 before buying it, there's a "1-Shot" demo now available. The demo only lasts 30 minutes, whether you beat it or not. So don't take too much time being horrified by the disgusting sights and sounds. The demo will expire on January 31, a few days after the launch of the game.The remake of Resident Evil 2 is one of our most anticipated games of 2019. Capcom's reimagining of the original game follows the same story beats, but additional elements have been added to surprise players with new scares. A modernized control scheme has been implemented as well, allowing players who are unfamiliar with the original game to more easily pick up this remake.Resident Evil 2 launches on January 25 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. You can pre-order the game now.Info from Gamespot.com

Like clockwork, Epic has another update lined up for its hit battle royale game, Fortnite. The developer confirmed that this week's 7.20 patch is set to arrive on all platforms--PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices--on Tuesday, January 15, and it's bringing back a controversial gameplay element from Season 6: redeployable gliders.Downtime for the update is scheduled to begin at 2 AM PT / 5 AM ET / 10 AM GMT. Epic hasn't estimated how long this downtime will last, but once servers are back up, redeployable gliders will return to Battle Royale mode--although this time they'll function a little differently than before.When Epic first tested the redeploy mechanic last fall, players were able to open up their glider again and hang glide during a match if they were at least three stories in the air. This time around, however, the Glider Redeploy will be itemized, meaning it'll take up a slot in your inventory and can be found as loot in chests, vending machines, and supply llamas."The goal with the item is to provide mobility and utility, but in a form that can be balanced and iterated upon," Epic explained on its website. "By implementing glider redeploy as an item we can iterate on multiple different levels (i.e. redeploy height, movement speed, drop chance, charge count), including inventory slot tension."Soon after the 7.20 update arrives, Epic will roll out another set of weekly challenges. In the meantime, you can find tips on how to complete all of the tasks available thus far in our Season 7 challenges guide.Info from Gamespot.com

Valve has announced its plans for Steam in 2019 and beyond. The PC game store isn't ready to reveal the exact details behind each upcoming change, but it has announced enough to give us a basic idea of what to expect in the future.The biggest planned change seems to be for game discoverability on the Steam Store. "We're working on a new recommendation engine powered by machine-learning, that can match players to games based on their individual tastes," Steam revealed in a blog post. The post went on to add that discovery algorithms would only be a part of the new process for recommending games to players. New "broadcasting and curating features" are under development as well.Steam also announced plans for upgrading its events system, so that players would be able to more easily discover "interesting activities" associated to the games they play, such as tournaments or streams. Expansions and changes to both Steam Library and Steam TV are in the works as well.In terms of brand-new content, Steam is planning on shipping Steam Chat, a mobile app that will allow you to "share your favorite GIFs with your friends while on the go." Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's Trusted Matchmaking is also being expanded to all other games with the new Steam Trust. Steam has revealed plans for opening "hundreds of thousands" of PC cafes around the world too, and the PC store is partnering with Perfect World to help bring Steam to China.The latter half of 2018 saw Steam face new competition with the emergence of the Epic Games Store. Epic promised a more lucrative cut for developers that launched their games on its store, especially for titles made with Unreal Engine. To entice players, Epic secured several exclusive games, including titles that were originally scheduled to launch on Steam like The Division 2. Going into 2019, Epic Games didn't let up the pressure on its competitor, offering a free game every two weeks for anyone using its store and also changing its refund policy to match Steam's.Info from Gamespot.com

WWE's yearly event, the Royal Rumble, is almost here. It has one of the most interesting matches of the year, where 30 participants enter the ring, one by one, and have to eliminate each other until there is only one superstar left standing. The winner of the event gets to challenge their brand's champion at Wrestlemania, so the stakes are high.This year's Royal Rumble is coming to PPV and the WWE Network live on Sunday, January 27 at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, with a Kickoff Show starting two hours prior. Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona will host the event, and you can still pick up tickets if you're interested. Single tickets are going for as cheap as $36 as of this writing, but the prices will fluctuate as we get closer to the event.While it's still a couple weeks away, there are currently eight matches on the card, and there could be a few more added, two of which should be on the Kickoff Show. Brock Lesnar returns to hopefully lose the Universal Championship to Braun Strowman, so WWE fans can finally have a fighting champ that actually shows up weekly. And if you think I'm being a bit salty, talk to any WWE fan about the Universal Championship, and they'll probably say the same thing.However, there is plenty to be excited about for this year's PPV. Aside from both the men's and women's rumble matches, which are the most fun thing WWE produces every year, Becky Lynch gets a rematch for the Smackdown Women's Championship against Asuka.
