Epic announced the news in an update on Reddit. Thanos' shield cap has been decreased from 300 to 200, laser damage vs. players has been decreased from 15 to 12, and his max health has been increased from 700 to 800.

The letter goes on to say: "Only a handful of people know the film's true plot. One of them is not Ryan Reynolds." See the full letter below:
Walmart Lists Just Cause 4, Gears of War 5, Rage 2 and More
Just Cause 4, Gears of War 5 and a new Splinter Cell are among a group of unannounced games that a major retailer has listed online.
It's important to note these could just serve as placeholders instead of outing possible E3 2018 surprises. But Walmart Canada (spotted by Wario64) has posted pages for Rage 2, LEGO DC Villains and Borderlands 3 as well.
Disney Teases ‘New Franchise Beyond Avengers’
Disney has teased a new Marvel movie franchise following next year's Avengers 4.
Per THR, Disney CEO Bob Iger discussed the future of the MCU during an earnings call, teasing there could be a brand new Marvel superhero team that's not the Avengers. "We meet on a regular basis with our Marvel team, and we've plotted out Marvel movies that will take us well into the next decade," Iger said.
"I'm guessing we will try our hand at what I'll call a new franchise beyond Avengers, but that doesn't necessarily mean you won't see more Avengers down the road," he added. "We just haven't made any announcements about that."
Avengers: Infinity War Co-Director Discusses The Hulk Issue
Spoiler warning: This post contains major plot details for Avengers: Infinity War, so proceed with caution. For more on Infinity War, here's what happened to the Infinity Gauntlet at the end.
The Hulk might actually just be tired of smashing — not necessarily scared — in Avengers: Infinity War, according to co-director Joe Russo.
Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via ComicBook.com), Russo revealed why the green guy doesn't pop up through most of Avengers: Infinity War — even as Bruce Banner pleads for him to come out. "I think people have interpreted it as Hulk’s scared," the co-director said.

Two Point Hospital Is Shaping up to Be the Successor Theme Hospital Deserves
Two Point Hospital has a lot to live up to. It’s a spiritual successor to the 1997 classic Theme Hospital, being developed by many of the same folk that made the original. Thankfully, the charm and detail I saw all throughout the early demo I played made me more confident that Two Point Hospital could be the revival fans have been waiting decades for.
You’re put in charge of a private hospital and have to build out rooms, buy equipment, and hire staff to efficiently get patients in, diagnosed, cured, and out. Doing that makes you money, which lets you expand, which makes you more money, and so on. But unlike some similar builder games, you don’t choose the footprint of your building, so eventually you’ll run out of space and it becomes a game of optimization instead of expansion.

Universal Studios Orlando have unveiled a souped-up version of the Fast & Furious: Supercharged ride that first debuted at their California theme-park in 2015.

WoW Player Gets a Year in Prison for Blizzard DDoS Attack
A World of Warcraft player has been fined and sentenced to a year in prison after carrying out a DDoS attack on Blizzard's servers.
GamesIndustry.biz reports that Calin Mateias was extradited to the US from his home country of Romania last year to face federal charges after his 2010 DDoS attack. Mateias plead guilty in February and has already paid $30,000 to Blizzard in compensation.
Mateias was apparently "motivated by a juvenile desire to win the game, and for others to lose it" and was embroiled in a dispute with his fellow players.
