Monster Hunter World’s massive upcoming Iceborne expansion is still three months away, but PlayStation 4 players will be able to jump into an open beta to test it out as early as next week.

The premiere dates for The CW Network's lineup of fall 2019 have been announced, including dates for the final seasons of Arrow and Supernatural.

Variety reports Supernatural will begin its 15th and final season on Thursday, October 10 followed by the second season of Legacies. Arrow will see the last of its quiver begin to empty when Season 8 kicks off a few days later on Tuesday, October 15.

Gears 5’s Escape is the newest game mode in the franchise, and it comes with a whole new side story. Three new characters are on a suicide mission to help rid Swarm hives from Sera, and though their story doesn’t directly impact the mode, it is an interesting bit of worldbuilding that enriches the Gears universe further.

Lahni, Keegan, and Mac are Hivebusters. As we see in Escape’s gameplay, their mission is to get caught by Snatchers to infiltrate the heart of a hive, plant a venom bomb, then escape as the hive dies. Though there are some in-game details about the Hivebuster, including banter between them while you’re playing through Escape, the best way to learn about their story is through the new Gears of War: Hivebusters comic.

Last year, Cyberpunk 2077's E3 demo had us visit (IRL) a hip nightclub overlooking Night City. This year, it takes us down into a grungy underground dive covered wall-to-wall with awesome references to CD Projekt Red's dystopian future.

The nightclub appears to be called Totentanz, German for "The Dance of Death", and features posters from all sorts of live performances, plus a guitar "once owned" by the man himself, Johnny Silverhand.

Check out the club in the slideshow above, and get all the new gameplay details from this year's E3 demo right here.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga may offer players the option to use a classic ‘grunting’ voice track instead of full voice acting.

Over the past few days, fans of LEGO Star Wars have been tweeting that they would like to see grunts in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, the upcoming entry in the long-running series from TT Games. In the replies to a recent tweet from the developer, many have been expressing their wish that the game would use the grunts, grumbling, and other sounds to represent characters talking, as they did in the original games, rather than full voice acting.

At E3 2019, IGN spoke to TT Games’s Head of Design Arthur Parsons, who said that the classic grunts may not be out of the question: “At the minute the plan is that the game is fully voiced, But we are talking to the team about having an additional mode for grunts.”

Magic: The Gathering's Core Set 2020 officially arrives from July 2nd, and we've been given the chance to exclusively reveal one of its new rare cards.

Flood of Tears is a six-mana sorcery ideal for use in a classic Blue control deck, and it looks a little something like this:

The high mana cost marks it out as something of a late-game play, but the high risk could lead to some very high rewards, allowing for devastating drops to pop up on a newly clean board.

Dropped into a deck with some extra trickery - Nissa, Who Shakes the World could turn those non-returned lands into creatures, for example - and Flood of Tears might make for a very effective play in the near future.

One of the things I love most about BitSummit – the yearly Kyoto-based indie games showcase - is that it’s a very egalitarian-feeling event. One booth may have a solo dev from Scandinavia demoing his or her very first project, the next may be showing off Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and be manned by the legendary Koji Igarashi himself. Walking around the show floor you’ll see this kind of juxtaposition repeatedly: there’s no barrier between the industry newcomers and the veterans – and if you spot the likes of Swery, Shuhei Yoshida or Keita Takahashi, you can just say hello.
