Titanfall 2 Teaser Drops – Announcement Date, Mech Swords Revealed
Respawn has released a teaser for Titanfall 2, which states that a worldwide announcement for the game will be made on June 12, presumably at the new EA Play events. Also: there are mech swords.
The teaser is understandably light on details, showing only a slowly-opening drop pod, before we see the leg of a Titan, and then get the sharp electric drop of a freaking mech sword.
As was previously revealed, Titanfall 2 will see the addition of a much-requested feature, a full single player campaign, demonstrated by the portentous South African-accented voiceover. Respawn also appears to have delved into this writer's dream requests by including that aforementioned mech sword.

Black Panther: Comics History 101
He’s a king, an Avenger, and the first mainstream black superhero. He’s… the Black Panther!
And now he’s finally coming to prominence on the big screen in Captain America: Civil War. So let’s take a look back at the history of the character. Watch the video above, or read on for everything you need to know about the Black Panther…
Fantastic Four #52
The Black Panther was created by the powerhouse duo of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the same team who gave us so many other classic Marvel characters. Kirby initially called the character the Coal Tiger, and designed him with a very different costume. But Lee was always keen on riding the cultural trends of the era, and the name was changed to Black Panther by the time the character went public in 1966. The Black Panther Party would not arrive on the scene until later that year, but some have speculated that the character’s name change was inspired by the logo used by the organization that preceded the Panthers. Whatever the case, the Black Panther was born.

Rust Now Assigns Gender, and Private Part Size
Women have been added to Rust, but you won't be choosing your gender when you create your character.
Instead, you are now procedurally assigned a male or female character based on your SteamID, along with race and... the size of your private parts.
Female character models were announced nearly a year ago. Since then, there have been mixed feelings among the Rust community, but the developers have reached out to say that gender has no affect on gameplay, and nor does the size of your peen or bewbs.
"We understand this is a sore subject for a lot of people," said Garry Newman and Taylor Reynolds on Rust's blog. "We understand that you may now be a gender that you don’t identify with in real-life. We understand this causes you distress and makes you not want to play the game anymore. Technically nothing has changed, since half the population was already living with those feelings."

The Division Bug Means Daily Missions Unavailable Until Next Patch
Ubisoft has announced that a bug affecting The Division's daily missions will not be fixed until the next patch on April 12.
An error occurred while resetting daily hard and challenging missions on Saturday, which means they will be unavailable until Tuesday's patch.
Daily missions are a good way of getting loot upgrades and Phoenix Credits, the end-game currency. "We apologize for the inconvenience," said a Tweet from the game's official account.
The April 12 update promises high-end loot from named NPCs, and will add the game's first incursion, Falcon Lost, which is apparently too hard for The Division's lead designer. If you want to know more, IGN has a guide including everything you need to know about the upcoming Incursions.
