Dark Souls 3 DLC Details Are Leaking Everywhere
The first downloadable content pack for Dark Souls III will be coming this October.
According to Esuteru (via Siliconera), it will release on October 26. However a Tweet from the official PlayStation account (which has now been deleted) lists the date as October 25. This could simply be a case of different dates in different regions or on different platforms, so IGN will update you when we know more.

6 Things We Learned About Stranger Things: Season 2
We recently spoke to Matt and Ross Duffer – the brilliant brothers behind Netflix phenomenon Stranger Things – and while chatting about Season 1 we also tried to get some information on Season 2, which hasn’t yet been officially green-lit but which the Duffers are nervertheless busy working on.
So the following is what they were prepared to reveal about the follow-up, which they’ve already stated will take place in 1984, a year after the events of Season 1. Just beware of POTENTIAL SPOILERS if you want to go into the next series blind. And apologies to the Duffers if I put the wrong quote next to the wrong name – you guys really do sound similar over the phone!

Pokemon Go Update Adds Feature for Seeing Hidden Stats
After finally getting faces, Pokemon Go's Team Leaders now actually have something to do with the addition of a "Pokémon Appraisal" feature.
Alongside minor fixes, Android version 0.35.0 and iOS version 1.5.0 of the mobile sensation adds a feature useful for those aiming to intensively train their best Pokemon.
Pokemon Appraisal sees your chosen Team's leader hinting at (but, crucially, not explicitly showing) the potential attack and defense of a chosen monster, letting players know which are best suited to further leveling.
Like the core Pokemon games, each individual Pokemon has a set of hidden attributes that determine their stat ceiling. An initially strong capture may be capped far earlier than a seemingly weaker one, and Appraisal lets players who want to take on tougher gyms prioritise their best Pokemon.
New DualShock 4 Reportedly Coming Alongside PS4 Slim
A new Dualshock 4 that features a lightbar across the top of the touchpad will apparently accompany the PS4 Slim.
With Sony's smaller console variant seemingly ending up in the hands of consumers far earlier than planned, unboxings have popped up (and been subsequently pulled down), apparently revealing a new controller to go with the new hardware.
Some reports suggest that the new Dualshock also features a grey D-Pad, sticks and face and shoulder buttons. Twitter user shortman82 - whose PS4 Slim was photographed yesterday - explains that it looks as though the new touchpad lightbar uses the existing internal LED:
The Internet Thinks Mads Mikkelsen is in Death Stranding
Hideo Kojima's no stranger to a celebrity cast, and so it is that we may be seeing Hannibal and Casino Royale actor Mads Mikkelsen show up in the mysterious Death Stranding. But this is no regular announcement...
The clues begin with a tweet from Kojima, featuring what appears to be simply an actor in a motion capture rig:

But NeoGAF user Sn4ke_911 saw more to it than that. Somehow, he stumbled across an Instagram post from jmerskine1, posted on the same day, which seemed to show the Danish antagonist specialist wearing a familiar orange-and-grey hoodie:

Here’s What South Park’s Fractured but Whole Smells Like
How bad could it be? Such was the question I asked myself as the Ubisoft representative handed me a controller, slipped one of the publisher’s proprietary Nosulus Rift headsets snugly over my face and appraised me with an ominously mischievous smirk. I was at a Ubisoft showcase on the eve of Gamescom 2016, and I was about to play a fifteen minute demo of South Park: The Fractured but Whole. The same demo had previously been shown to IGN two months prior at E3, but this was the first time it would be experienced with the ability to smell certain elements within the game’s small town setting.
