Trailer Debut: Deep Space Nine Gets a Documentary
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine has often been regarded as the outlier of the Trek family of shows, a series that did things differently. It never had the same level of mainstream success as its predecessor, The Next Generation, and yet it has grown over the years to be regarded by many fans as perhaps the best of the Star Trek shows.
And now, a new documentary about the history of Deep Space Nine is heading to theaters. What We Left Behind: Looking Back at Star Trek: Deep Space Nine will be released by Fathom Events in more than 800 movie theaters in the U.S. on Monday, May 13. And IGN has the exclusive debut of the film's trailer -- watch it above!

Remnant: From the Ashes Preview: 3 Players, Infinite Replayability
Remnant: From the Ashes surprised me in a very good way. I sat down to play it without knowing much about what I was in for, and I found a third-person action game that plays well, controls smoothly, and is fun as heck in co-op. It’s part third-person shooter, part Souls-like, and part roguelike. And the combination blends together nicely.
You can choose one of three classes to play as – Scrapper, Cultist, or Hunter (I played the latter) – but the Gunfire Games team (yes, this is the same group that brought you Darksiders 3) told me that your class is really just a starting template. They aren’t a fan of games that lock you into choices, irreversibly, after many hours of play, so in Remnant, you’ll be able to customize almost everything about your character, from the weapons you wield to the armor you wear to the weapon mods you equip.

Hush Hush, which styles itself as “the world’s leading luxury shopping marketplace”, has received a request from an anonymous person who is looking for a gamemaker who can help organise the three-day event.

The plan is for the anonymous millionaire to acquire a private island, which will be the setting for this real-life battle royale. The competition will run for three days, with 12 hours of competition each day. During the night time, players will be able to camp for the night. All camping gear and food will be provided.

Deaf Overwatch Streamer Breaks Into the Top 500 Players
A deaf Overwatch player has made it onto the top 500 leaderboard, peaking at position 482.
