A trailer for the next Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel add-on invites you to slide (slide, slippity-slide) into the twisted mind of the robot Claptrap for a Claptastic Voyage. Revealed at PAX East 2015, Claptastic Voyage arrives on March 24 for all platforms. It is included in The Handsome Collection, which launches on the same day, bringing Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One along with all their previously-released content.

Handsome Jack assembles the Vault Hunters for a special mission to collect something of great power, which apparently requires that they enter the labyrinthine depths of Claptrap’s psyche to do battle with viruses, memories, and figments of his twisted imagination. Once inside the action is set to the smooth jams of Lakeside via Coolio with “Fantastic Voyage.” Unsurprisingly, things look pretty strange in there. Robot psychedelia seems like a natural addition to the genre-spanning collection of Borderlands downloadable content, which also includes Dungeons & Dragons fantasy, zombie survival horror, and big game hunting.

As a bonus addition to this final release in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel‘s season pass, the Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 is included. This raises the level cap on all characters up to 70, adding 10 new levels and 10 new skill points to earn. Claptastic Voyage and Ultimate Vault Hunter Upgrade Pack 2 will be available for $10 alone or as part of the $30 season pass, which includes four DLC add-ons.

If you thought you knew every major game coming for the rest of 2024, think again. On Wednesday night, Infold Games announced that Infinity Nikki will launch on December 5 for PlayStation 5, PC, and mobile. If you’ve never heard of it before, you’re about to in a very big way.

The upcoming free-to-play game is the fifth entry in the mega-popular Nikki series. It takes what was once a mobile dress-up gacha game and turns it into a full open-world console game with shades of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild peppered in. At first glance, you may be tempted to write it off as niche, but that would be a tactical error. Infinity Nikki will launch at the perfect time, landing in the cross section of multiple trends that have defined 2024. If all goes well for Infold Games, it could smash records. If you’re still a little confused as to why, here are all of the reasons that Infinity Nikki could be a sensation.

The best places to land in Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix

Survival is key in Fortnite, and it all starts by picking the best starting location. Even if you're a looper who's been around for each and every season, your likelihood of grabbing that coveted Victory Royale can be gone in a snap if you start off on the wrong foot -- whether it be on a mountain with no loot or a hot drop that could send you back to lobby in no time.

As part of Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix, the iconic island is back again, but with three new points of interest (POIs) that change the game significantly. However, with these spots, which one is best comes down to your skill and preference. With that in mind, here are the best places to land in Fortnite for the OG sweats, beginners, and everyone in between.
The best places to land in Fortnite
Before jumping into the list, you must understand the basics of what makes a good landing spot. Sure, any location with decent loot and lots of chests might serve you well, but there's more to that. Is that spot often contested by other players in the lobby? Can you farm mats easily? Is it close to other POIs? Is it too far from the Storm Circle? These recommended landing spots all have their fair share of consistency and the best loot that you'll need. They also have some quirks that make them the best depending on your playstyle.
