Watch Dogs: Legion Revealed, Release Date Announced
Watch Dogs: Legion, the third game in Ubisoft's open world franchise, has been revealed, and it will be released on March 6, 2020.
As previously rumoured, the game has you playing a full gang of DedSec members, and sees you gathering new recruits drawn from what would traditionally be open world NPCs. Every cinematic in the game will change depending on the characters you choose to play as, from ex-MI5 spies to old ladies.
Creative director Clint Hocking has acknowledged that the game takes place in a post-Brexit London, in which the UK has become a surveillance state.
A leak last week hinted that much of this was the case, but the sheer scale of that idea, and the ambition on show, is striking. The game's official name was confirmed by Ubisoft on Twitter shortly after the leak.

Conan Chop Chop Announced, Wasn’t an April Fools’ Joke
Conan Chop Chop was officially, seriously announced during the PC Gaming Show at E3 2019.
Conan Chop Chop was originally revealed on April Fools' Day, but Funcom and Mighty Kingdom were being totally serious. Coming to PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on September 3, 2019, Conan Chop Chop is a rogue-like, four player co-op, hack and slash, stick figure game.
“Keeping this a secret has been a hardship,” said Funcom CEO Rui Casais. “The feedback we got from fans when we released the April Fools’ Day trailer was amazing and remarkably unanimous, and so I have been itching to give them the good news ever since. But don’t be fooled by the game’s humoristic and quirky looks. There is a lot of hard work being put into this, and the game should thrill roguelike fans and hack & slash fans alike.”

DC’s Zombie Outbreak Spreads to New DCeased One-Shot
If you were sad when you heard DC’s zombie outbreak event DCeased would just be a six issue mini-series, then we have some good news for you. An upcoming oversized one-shot titled DCeased: A Good Day to Die will tell an additional story set in that world turned mad by a techno-organic rage virus, spearheaded by DCeased writer Tom Taylor and joined by artists Darick Robertson (The Boys) and Laura Braga (DC Comics Bombshells) with more names to come.
"Honestly, as soon as I started writing DCeased, I realized I could write it for years,” Taylor told IGN over email on how this extra DCeased tale came to be. “With the epic scope of this series, there was no way to fit all the characters and all the ideas I had into just six issues. … We had a whole cast of characters whose tale was ending up on the comics cutting room floor. Writing is about killing your darlings, but these were darlings I wasn't even going to get the chance to kill... until the idea of this special was raised by editor Ben Abernathy.”
Not April Fool’s – Razer Announces Respawn Gaming Drink
What started out as an April Fool's joke has now become a reality, as Razer has announced a new branded gaming drink named Respawn. The company has previously pitched a similar beverage in the past as a prank, beginning in 2010 with Project Venom and again in April of 2019 with Venom V2 shown below.
In the previous iteration you drank the fluid then changed its nano capabilities with Razer Synapse, which would actually be cool aside from the brain wiring part, but the actual Respawn drink is a simple beverage that you mix with water for "mental enhancement." Razer takes pains in its press release to make sure it is understood that this is not an energy drink.
