Will Fortnite Be the Game Minecraft Players Graduate To?
The end of the world is at hand in the free-to-play survival game Fortnite, or least it is whenever I want it to be. For now, I'm content to let it wait. I've spent the last hour hacking at rocks, trees, and the occasional file cabinet with a pickaxe, because right now I'm more interested in building a building-sized replica of a Minecraft creeper than staving off the apocalypse. It's not entirely for show; I've also reinforced the bottom walls with wall-darts, spike traps, and gizmos on ceilings that zap anything that walks beneath. You see, all I need to do is press a button to make a horde of zombies rush my creeper, and for around five minutes they'll try to smash down its walls and destroy the storm shield keeping our little compound safe from within.
Rebels Exec Producer Shoots Down Ahsoka Fan Theory
Star Wars Rebels executive producer Dave Filoni has debunked a major Ahsoka Tano fan theory.
Warning: SPOILERS for Star Wars Rebels follow...
At the end of Star Wars Rebels: Season 2, Ahsoka's true fate was unclear. Though it didn't seem like the character was killed off, fans have theorized Ahsoka entered a different state of Force consciousness. Season 4's first trailer sparked speculation that Ahsoka was reincarnated as a Loth-Wolf, a predator on Ezra Bridger's home planet of Lothal.
In the trailer, Ezra's teacher, Kanan Jarrus, is seen petting a Loth-Wolf in, what seems like, a Force temple. Some fans believe Kanan was actually interacting with Ahsoka. However, Filoni took to Twitter to shoot down this theory, confirming Ahsoka is definitely not the wolf.

Far Cry 5: All Gameplay, News, Trailers
Ubisoft officially revealed Far Cry 5, an open-world shooter that’s set in modern-day Montana, back in May 2017. You’ll be able to get your hands on it when it launches on February 27, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
The first game in the series since 2016's Primal, the story of Far Cry 5 kicks off when a cult leader named Joseph starts taking over territory in a fictional region called Hope County, Montana. You play as a sheriff’s deputy who plays a leading role in the resistance. Read on for all the Far Cry 5 gameplay, news, trailers, and previews that have come out since it was announced.
The first time we heard about Far Cry 5 wasn’t in the game’s official announcement or even a leak. It was during Ubisoft’s 2017 fiscal year earnings report in May. Ubisoft said Far Cry 5 was coming sometime before March 31, 2018. With the news that the sequel was in the works but little else to go on, the Game Scoop crew chatted about what they’d like to see in Far Cry 5.
