Fortnite is back

Fortnite is back and playable after the game was sucked into a black hole for 2 days. Although some players were infuriated that they couldn’t play, the game has relaunched with Chapter 2.

The game is launching new features such as fishing, swimming, and boats. There are also 13 new locations, places to hide in, new guns, and of course, a new season pass. There is still more features that people are finding.

Fortnite chapter 2 does open with an amazing opening that hypes you to get back into the game.

The most popular game in the world is back. Before Fortnite’s servers went down, the game had over 200 million players. The Black Hole was clearly a marketing strategy to help reinvigorate interest into the Battle Royale title. Many people who quit are coming back just to see the new features that warranted the game shutting down. It is clear that Epic is hoping to come back bigger than ever especially with some competitive players disliking Season 10 inclusions such as mechs and balance issues.

Persona 5 The Royal will feature Persona 3 and 4 Protagonists!

Persona 5 The Royal will feature plenty of DLC and bonus content from the original game. The biggest fan addition is the ability to fight the Persona 3 Protagonist and Persona 4 Protagonist.

They can only be challenged in the Velvet Room so it is unclear on whether they have any importance in the story. Considering the Velvet Room has no effect in space and time, it most likely a fun addition. It looks to be a Optional Boss in the newly added challenge room.

The trailer showed the Persona 4 protagonist with his persona, Izanagi, and images from the Japanese Persona 5 Royal website showed the Persona 3 protagonist using Thanatos.

Pokemon Sword and Shield WILL NOT feature 18 Gyms

Game Informer previously reported that Pokemon Sword and Shield would feature 18 Pokemon gyms to challenge on October 1st: 9 Major and 9 minor gyms. Fans were extremely excited as it would defeat Pokemon Gold and Silver in overall amount of gyms to challenge (it featured 16).

Unfortunately, it seems Game Informer mistranslated communications with Game Freak. What Game Freak meant was that there are 18 across the league in Pokemon Sword and Shield. There are just 8 gyms as usual but each have version exclusive gyms.

This comes as a huge disappointment from fans but hopefully the other features in the game will remove their fears.

The Last of Us Part 2 will have no Multiplayer Mode

Naugthy Dog announced that The Last of Us Part 2 will not feature multiplayer. Although the previous title had it, the developers wanted to focus more on the single player narrative for Ellie. You can see their official statement below.

While this may be disappointing to fans who enjoyed the multiplayer, single player games are having a huge resurgence in popularity; especially PlayStation exclusive games. While some people complained the multiplayer exclusion was Naught Dog being lazy, some people also complained the 1st games multiplayer felt tacked on.

There will be some multiplayer in the future, it just won’t be for the game. Perhaps a cheaper multiplayer Faction mode in late 2020?

The Last of Us Part 2 comes out Feb. 21, 2020.
