Overwatch Summer Games Seasonal Event Debuts
Blizzard has launched Overwatch's first seasonal event, the Overwatch Summer Games, today, making a new brawl and items available to PC, PS4, and Xbox One players.
The Summer Games, arriving just days before the 2016 real-world Summer Olympics, will run from August 2 through August 22 and introduces the game's latest brawl, Lúcioball. The "futuristic spin on soccer" puts players in 3-versus-3 matches in the Estádio das Rãs.

Each match of Lúcioball lasts four minutes.
Secret Life of Pets 2 Announced
Universal Pictures' and Illumination Entertainment's The Secret Life of Pets will get a sequel.
The film brought in more than $400 million in revenue worldwide and garnered $300.3 million domestically — holding the number one spot for two consecutive weeks. The success sparked the announcement of the sequel, which is slated for a July 13, 2018, debut.
The first film debuted July 8. In IGN's The Secret Life of Pets review, we graded it a 7 out of 10 for its beautiful imagery and pet dynamics. However, we felt the film was more a collection of funny scenes than a well-composed story.

Fallout 4 Mod Support Still ‘Under Evaluation’
Mod support for Fallout 4 on PlayStation 4 is still "under evaluation," according to Bethesda.
In a tweet, the developer said it is currently working with Sony to implement Fallout 4 mod support on the console. Bethesda did not include much more information on the delay, or give an expected date for the release. More information will come as it's available.
IGN has reached out to Bethesda for more on Fallout 4 mod support on PlayStation 4, and will update this story should we receive a response.
Bethesda delayed its PlayStation 4 mod beta in late June after reporting issues with its development. Three known issues were reported at that time—limited mod storage on PlayStation 4, memory and performance problems, and issues with sound files. Bethesda has not commented on whether these are still causing problems.
