No More Single-Player Updates for Mass Effect: Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda will no longer receive new single-player updates or content.
BioWare announced the final update was 1.10, confirming there are no more future bug fixes or tweaks forthcoming. However, the game's multiplayer will still receive ongoing support, including new character kits and missions, details for which will be revealed at a later date.
As for the unresolved plot of the missing Quarian Ark, BioWare will explore and finish this plot thread, as well as tell brand new stories, via comics and novels.
Reports of no plans for Mass Effect: Andromeda single-player DLC surfaced in late June. Casey Hudson, the project director of the original Mass Effect, recently returned to lead BioWare as the new general manager.

WWE SummerSlam: 5 Matches We’re Most Excited About
On Sunday, August 20th, WWE SummerSlam roars into the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for a stacked card of action featuring all major titles on the line, a handful of grudge matches (possibly featuring a demon or two), and -- assumedly -- a need to try and outshine NXT: TakeOver Brooklyn III from the night before.
Let's dig into the card and shine a spotlight on the bouts that we're most excited for. From Sasha vs. Alexa to...a late entry in the field of "Hey, this is actually interesting now," John Cena vs. Baron Corbin, here are the 5 matches we can't wait to see.
What Obi-Wan Was Doing Between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope
Rumors of a solo Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi solo project have been floating around for some time now, but a new report indicates that Ewan McGregor will return to the role in a new series for the Disney+ streaming service.
While we know very little about this project so far, and Disney and Lucasfilm haven't even confirmed it yet, rumors have said that the Obi-Wan solo project won't be an origin story but rather a direct prequel to A New Hope, depicting the character's lonely days in the deserts of Tatooine as he watched over a young Luke Skywalker from afar. And really, that approach makes a lot of sense for the character.

Dota 2’s Siltbreaker Campaign Updated With New Act
Act II of the Dota 2 Siltbreaker multiplayer campaign is now available to all Battle Pass owners, the Dota team revealed in an official announcement.
In addition to the new act, this update also includes a number of changes to the campaign to make it more accessible for players of all skill levels.
Act II of Siltbreaker, titled "A Vault in the Deep," picks up where the previous act left off, setting players on the path to Dark Reef Prison where they will attempt to defeat the powerful Siltbreaker. Just like with the previous act, players will be rewarded Battle Pass levels and items for their performance in the campaign, but this time around players can opt for the easier "Adventure Mode," which tones down the difficulty but removes all rewards.
Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon Includes Kanto Tease
A new trailer for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon has released as part of the Pokemon World Championships, featuring some new characters and locations. Some fans have noticed what they believe may be a hint that the game could take players back to the Kanto Region from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
About 14 seconds into the new trailer, viewable below, a flashy character named Ryuki introducing himself to the trainer. Looking closely at the room surrounding him and the player in this scene, several factors, like the yellow color scheme and the trash cans scattered around the room, bear a strong resemblance to Lt. Surge's gym from Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow.

NVC: Sonic Mania on Switch Is a Blast
Welcooooooome to the latest episode of our weekly Nintendo talk show, Nintendo Voice Chat! Next week, NVC will report back live from Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. Until then, enjoy a full hour of talk about the latest Nintendo news from our studio in San Francisco. Join Brian Altano, Jonathon Dornbush, Peer Schneider, and in her NVC debut, Lily Zaldivar, for impressions of Sonic Mania, Chicken Wiggle, the NES30 Arcade Stick, and the five things we want Nintendo to update or change in Splatoon 2 over the next year. Nintendo announced Splatoon 2's impressive sales performance after we recorded this episode, so maybe the game will thump its nose at all our suggestions -- but we still had fun chatting about one of our favorite Nintendo games so far this year. As always, you can watch NVC here on IGN and on our YouTube channel or listen to it on your commute in audio format. If you enjoy the show, say something nice and tell your friends! Positive reviews on iTunes ensure that more listeners find the show -- and comments and questions pertaining to our show (rather than random reactions to headlines) always make us happy! But we'll take those, too.
