Mortal Kombat 11 Is Experiencing Lag Problems After Latest Patch
Mortal Kombat 11 players are reporting having trouble with online stability after a recent patch.
Mortal Kombat 11 players are experiencing an unusual amount of lag and an ever present disconnect icon in online matches since patching the game. As reported by Eurogamer, players who previously had good connections are experiencing lag where there was little before, and some players are even seeing the disconnect icon when they have three green bars of connection (the highest grade of wireless connection for MK11).
Many players are attributing this issue to the latest patch, but developer NetherRealm has taken to Reddit to explain that although it thinks there is indeed an issue with the latest patch, it doesn't believe it’s causing any lag.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Announced
Team17 and Playtonic Games have announced Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, a 2D platformer follow up to 2017’s Yooka-Laylee.
Unlike its predecessor, which look inspiration from the 3D worlds of Banjo-Kazooie, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair is a 2.5D platformer akin to Donkey Kong Country, with 3D overworld areas where players will solve puzzles. Across each level, players will aid in the rescue of Queen Phobee’s Royal Beetalion Guard.

Destroy All Humans! Remake Announced
THQ Nordic has announced Destroy All Humans!, a PS4 and Xbox One remake of the 2005 action-adventure for PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. No pre-order information is available just yet.
The new version is an exact remake of the cult classic, in which little green man Crypto comes to Earth and begins eviscerating Earthlings, cows, and anything else that gets in his way. It keeps its tongue wedged firmly in cheek the whole time and is probably best described as Mars Attacks! The Game. Check out the reveal trailer above.
IGN gave the original Destroy All Humans!, which was created by the now-defunct developer Pandemic Studios, a 7 out of 10. Destroy All Humans! 2 earned an 8 out of 10 from us in 2006.

The X-Men Movie Franchise’s Last Great Mutant Easter Egg
Warning: Full spoilers follow for Dark Phoenix.
Fox's mutant movie universe may be coming to a close as Marvel Studios takes control of the X-Men characters, but not before debuting one last fan-favorite character. Dazzler finally makes her big screen debut in Dark Phoenix, albeit only in cameo form and apparently played by Halston Sage (The Orville). She has no dialogue but is seen singing -- and using her mutant powers to generate a light show while wearing her trademark white outfit -- during the X-Men's party on the grounds of the mansion.
We'll never see this version of Dazzler become a full-fledged member of the X-Men since the Fox series is coming to an end, but her appearance is still a fun nod to fans of the comics. And if you're not up on all things Dazzler, here's a brief primer on the character.
