Ric Flair has been reportedly released by WWE. Fightful has reported that the 16-time World Champion requested and was granted his release from the company. Gamespot has reached out to WWE for comment. Flair re-signed with WWE last year but hasn't been seen on weekly TV for months. The last time he was used, Flair was part of an angle with Lacy Evans and his daughter, Charlotte with Flair having a relationship with Evans.Flair came back to WWE in 2012, following a couple of years wrestling in TNA after his legendary "retirement" match against Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 24. While he had some moments in TNA as part of Fortune--which had future WWE Champion AJ Styles as being Flair's protoge--his return seemed inevitable and helped his rising star daughter on route to be a multi-time Women's Champion.The two-time WWE Hall of Famer is a living legend, but also the latest in the string of firings from WWE just in the past few months. Last week, former WWE and Universal Champion Bray Wyatt was released from the company after being off television and leaving the role of a spooky split personality to Alexa Bliss (who has also put her Twitter on lock from fans who were blaming her for Bray's release).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Containment runs in Rainbow Six Siege from August 3 to August 24.Proteans will be limited to melee attacks, but will have increased speed, additional health, and special abilities adapted from current operators Aruni and Oryx. Attackers, meanwhile, will be able to use normal loadouts, but no modifiers will be available and the roster or available Operators will be reduced.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Animal Crossing: New Horizons' 1.11.0 update is now live, bringing back August's weekly fireworks show and introducing another slate of new seasonal items to the game. While those are the headlining additions, the update also reportedly contains another reference to Brewster's cafe, suggesting the beloved barista could be making his long-awaited debut before long.According to DodoCodes (as reported by Animal Crossing World), New Horizons' version 1.11.0 update contains a new progress event called "cNpcMemory:TalkProgressMuseumBuiltCafe." The update also reportedly changed camera parameters for "IdrMuseumCafe," further suggesting Brewster's cafe could be on the way.Brewster's cafe, The Roost, has been an Animal Crossing staple since Wild World.

Pokemon Unite is a simplified MOBA, but a MOBA nonetheless. That means a lot of its high-level play is based around making strong character builds that have subtle differences from one another and counters to each other. Top players are already starting to come up with best practices for the gear loadouts and moves, but if you're venturing out on your own, there are some rules of thumb you can use to optimize your character build.In general, to make a decent Pokemon Unite build starts by envisioning your role in a typical game. At a high level that starts with your Pokemon's class, like Attacker or All-Rounder. That will help determine the type of team role you'll be fulfilling, and that helps the other parts fall into place. If you choose a Defender, for example, you'll be far more effective if you build everything--from your move selections to your gear--around defense.With that in mind, here's how to make your best build. For more, check out our full list of Pokemon Unite guides, including detailed class breakdowns.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Apex Legends Emergence has finally arrived, and it's added a whole new array of new content to the popular battle royale game. Season 10 brings many new additions, including buffs to Fuse and Caustic, nerfs to Horizon and Revenant, a new gun, and a major change to the World's Edge map.The biggest addition in Emergence is the new Legend, Seer. Born under a bad sign, Seer is a recon-oriented Legend with abilities that track, reveal, and interrupt the actions of your opponents. His Ultimate creates a sphere of microdrones that reveal the footsteps or gunfire of nearby enemies, which gives you a major leg-up on opponents.The game's World's Edge map is the site of another major shift. Overmining has pushed the land to its edge, and there are now two weather-control machines on the map that have made it into a winter wonderland with lava in the center. Emergence also adds a new gun to the game in the form of a Rampage, an LMG similar to the L-STAR. You can also load a thermite grenade into the Rampage to overclock its fire rate, which is a pretty nifty feature.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Battlefield 2042 does not have a campaign, but EA and DICE are not abandoning story altogether with the futuristic military shooter. A standalone short film set in the year 2042 is coming, and you won't have to wait too much longer to watch it. The movie will premiere on August 12 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 5 PM CEST. "Witness the locations of Battlefield 2042 through the eyes of embedded journalist Kayvan Bechir," reads a line from its description. It seems like there will be teasers each day until August 12, as EA said players can expect more information every day until the full video premieres. In the first teaser, a scrambled voice says, "The world wants to forget we exist. We will force them to see." Brief flashes of footage appear, including a ship at sea, planes flying into a storm, and a soldier sprinting through an unban environment. Here's the teaser:Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

In what might be the strongest collaboration Disney has delivered yet with Star Wars, the company has teamed up with Bandai to release an R2-D2 Tamagotchi, which will launch later this year.Popular in the '90s, Tamagotchis are little digital pets that you need to feed, entertain, and just generally keep alive. Like the stakes with a real-life pet, you need to pay attention to your digital companion or risk losing them for good. Where Tamagotchis back then used to die, this R2-D2 will simply be stolen by opportunistic Jawas if left uncared for, which is rather hilarious.The Tamagotchi operates pretty much how you expect it to. It's a small digital device that comes in two colors, and each one features three physical buttons for interacting with your astromech. You'll have over 19 activities to engage with, as well as a variety of mini-games that include Star Wars' version of chess called Dejarik.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington has discussed one of his favorite experiences working on the epic fantasy show, but it might not be what you'd expect. Speaking to Jess Cagle on Sirius XM, Harington said one of his fondest memories was during a filming break when he left the set to relieve himself. That's pretty ordinary stuff, except he was on a glacier, in Iceland.He was blown away by the natural beauty, and he thinks back on this when he's feeling down to help pick himself back up again."I remember shooting up on this incredible glacier in Iceland, and I went off to take a pee, just in… somewhere in the wilds of Iceland," Harington said (via Entertainment Weekly). "And I just looked out over this glacier and I thought, 'God, I got the best job in the world.' And that always sticks out to me because if I'm ever feeling grumpy about my lot, which, believe me, I can do amazingly, I think of that. And I think, 'Now you've got a pretty special job.'"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

When Venom came out in 2018, it was a fun, box office smash, making over $850 million, worldwide. Critically, it was a bomb, receiving a 35 on GameSpot sister-site Metacritic and 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, moviegoers were headed to see it in droves, and one moment people couldn't stop talking about was the post-credit sequence where Woody Harrelson played Cletus Kasady--the serial killer who would eventually get a symbiote of his own and be named Carnage.What's exceptionally memorable about that scene is Harrelson's hair: a big, curly red wig that took all the focus off of Harrelson. Many people laughed about it online, as it was hard to take a serial killer with a giant floppy head of hair seriously. However, I found myself really enjoying that hair choice.When the first and the latest trailers for Venom: Let There Be Carnage arrived, there was something missing. It was Kasady's beautiful mop of red hair. What was once a glorious set of curls has now been turned into an unkempt discount haircut.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

PlayStation Now is Sony's game streaming service, and it adds new games every month to its lineup. August's new PlayStation Now games consist of three heavy hitters, and if you haven't been living under a rock, you've probably heard of at least one of them.Nier Automata is perhaps the most notable addition to PlayStation Now in August. One of the most critically-acclaimed games of 2017, Automata is a character-action game that follows the strange adventures of androids and robots in a post-apocalyptic world. The smash hit Undertale is also coming to PlayStation Now in August. One of the most notable indie games of all time, Undertale is a charming JRPG with a unique hook: You can beat the entire game without killing a single enemy.The last addition to PlayStation Now for August is Ghostrunner, a precise action game where you pilot a cyber-ninja who flips and slices their way through an army of opponents. Demanding and exacting, Ghostrunner was well-received when it first came out back in late 2020. Last month's games included the high-fidelity adventure A Plague Tale: Innocence and the multiplayer shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.Info from Gamespot.com
