The latest trailer for Evolve, Turtle Rock Studios’ cooperative action game that pits four uniquely powered, player-controlled hunters against one ever-strengthening, also player-controlled alien, serves to highlight the differences between each playable being in the game. The so-called “4v1 Interactive Trailer” allows viewers to flip between all five perspectives at their leisure, for the length of a single match.

In a typical showdown, the Goliath monster eludes the four hunters while feasting on the local fauna to gain strength. The hunters – Griffin the Trapper, Markov the Assault, Hank the Support, and Val the Medic – chase the beast around the map, working together to bring down the more powerful alien before it can…wait for it…evolve enough to wipe them all out. You can find more specifics in our hands-on preview.

Infinity Nikki launches in December after racking up 30 million preregistrations

Infinity Nikki, set to be one of the most-played games of 2024, just got its long-awaited release date. The open-world gacha game will hit PC, mobile devices, and PlayStation 5 on December 5.

This date is actually special for the team at Infold Games (a part of Papergames) as it celebrates the 12-year anniversary of the series, which started with Nikki Up2U: A Dressing Story in 2012. Infinity Nikki is the fifth game in the series, but is the first one to make the jump from exclusively being on mobile. It's also the first Nikki game to not be solely a dress-up gacha game. There are dress-up elements in Infinity Nikki, but it's grown from being a free-to-play casual mobile title to a platforming, open-world exploration game with gacha elements.

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.
