Octopath Traveler: Two New Protagonists Revealed
Square Enix has announced two new protagonists for Octopath Traveler.
A new trailer has revealed the two new characters are H'aanit the Hunter and Therion the Thief, and new details on Path Actions and Side Stories have been released, so be sure to check the trailer below:
The first new character, H'aanit the Hunter, is on a journey to find her master, who disappeared while pursuing a dangerous monster. Her Path Action is Provoke, which allows her to summon wild animals to attack people. This enables her to chase off enemies, or open paths blocked by hostile forces.
The second new character, Therion the Thief, has been hired by a mysterious client, who tasks him with the theft of a precious gem. His Path Action is Steal, which allows him to take what he wants from almost everyone. This includes items Therion can use to complete quests, as well as rare or unique items, not sold in any store.
13 Best Moments in Dragon Ball Super
Dragon Ball Super has wrapped up, and with Episode 131 going out on such a high note, we wanted to take some time to look back through Super and highlight some of its best moments. While Dragon Ball Super started off a bit rough, it was still able to provide plenty of great scenes that will surely stand the test of time and be fondly remembered well in the future. Its run wasn’t as long as Dragon Ball Z – though that could change if Toei decides to bring Super back – but this look back has us more excited than ever for what the future holds.
Monster Hunter World Adding 16-Player Elder Dragon Hunt
Monster Hunter World's next limited-time event mission launches tomorrow, April 18 at 5 pm Pacific and introduces both a new Elder Dragon and the 16-player Siege mission type.
The target Elder Dragon, Kulve Taroth, is a massive, gilded beast which must be hunted in large teams. As Capcom explained in a blog post, up to 16 players can meet up in the gathering hub social area beforehand and then split into parties of four "to investigate and hunt down the same Kulve Taroth."
"As each hunting party collects more tracks and breaks off more parts from attacking Kulve Taroth, they’ll contribute progress to the same Siege," Capcom explained, adding that Sieges were "designed and balanced for multiplayer."
Harley Quinn Spinoff Birds of Prey Hires Director
Warner Bros.' Harley Quinn spinoff movie Birds of Prey has found its director.
Variety reports Cathy Yan will direct the film. She's set to become the second female director to helm a DC movie following Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman). Christina Hodson, the writer behind the upcoming Transformers spinoff Bumblebee, penned the script. Hodson has also recently been tapped to write the Batgirl movie.
Production on Birds of Prey is expected to begin by the end of the year after Margot Robbie (Harley Quinn) wraps up filming Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Last month it was reported she's in talks to play Sharon Tate in Tarantino's new film.
Ubisoft E3 Press Conference Date and Time Announced
Ubisoft has confirmed the time and date of its E3 2018 press conference, falling in line with the company's previous yearly plans at the expo.
The publisher of Ghost Recon Wildlands, the Assassin's Creed franchise, and more will hold its E3 press conference on Monday, June 11 at 1 p.m. PT/4 p.m. ET9 p.m. BST/6 a.m. AEST. Ubisoft's press conference last year took place at the same time.
However, last year, Ubisoft had announced the conference a month closer to E3 than it has this year, which made it easier to assume what would be at the company's showcase following a tease for what would be the release of Assassin's Creed Origins.

The Essential MCU Films to Watch Before Avengers: Endgame
A Marvel movie marathon may be in order!
With Avengers: Endgame now out, you might be wondering which MCU movies you should watch (or rewatch) to prepare for this epic superhero event. Or perhaps you've seen Endgame and want to embark on a huge re-watch. That would lead to the question of what order to watch the Avengers movies in. Well, we've got you covered.
While this new Marvel movie pays off on 11 years' worth of MCU storylines, the only downside to so much build-up is that it's pretty time-consuming for fans to sit down and plow through all these movies. That's to say nothing of people who might only just now be getting into the MCU.

Minecraft is excellent for many reasons, but the most important is that it both encourages and encourages a sense of wonder. That mountain in the distance? You can burrow into it. You can make your home inside it and cover it with lava so it’s spooky and cool. And then you can dig deep into the ground to find treasure and fight monsters. Minecraft can be played as a do-what-you-want sandbox, but there are enough game systems and rules to structure your time into a “campaign,” if that’s what you’re after. Few games have set the world on fire like Minecraft, and it’s likely few ever will in the same way again.
