Darth Maul Return Confirmed for Star Wars Rebels
Darth Maul is definitely coming to Star Wars Rebels.
The return of Darth Maul was hinted at in the Star Wars Rebels official midseason return trailer. But now Entertainment Weekly has revealed he was indeed the man in the shadows. Maul was, of course, cut in half by Obi Wan Kenobi in The Phantom Menace, however The Clone Wars animated series and a Dark Horse comic book showed he had somehow survived.
EW has a clip from the upcoming March 30 Season 2 finale episode of Star Wars Rebels, and it shows "what happens when Maul encounters the young Jedi hopeful Ezra Bridger as they both explore the ruins of a Sith temple deep beneath the surface of a world known as Malachor."

April PS Plus Game, Dead Star Gets Launch Details
Armature Studio has revealed more details about its upcoming top-down shooter Dead Star. The game will launch on April 5 on PC and on PS4 as a PlayStation Plus title.
Beta and Early Access players, those who pre-ordered on PS4 before it became a PS Plus title and those who pre-order the game on Steam will now receive the first two pieces of DLC - the Kurg and Quaz'l Tribe Ship Expansions - for free when they arrive.
Those new ships will be available to all players in the game's Free Mode, to help those who didn't get nab them early decide if they want to invest.
Street Fighter V March Update: New Mode, New Character, Apology Gifts
Capcom has announced two updates for Street Fighter V coming next week, bringing bug fixes, the Fight Shop, Challenge mode, the game's first DLC character, Alex and free costumes for players. However real-money transactions are still not ready, meaning all players will get Alex on a free trial until they're implemented.
The in-game fight shop should include Capcom's real-money currency, Zenny, but that feature has not yet been implemented. As this would have meant that Alex would only be available to those with enough earned Fight Money or a Season Pass, Capcom will give the DLC character to all players as a free trial until Zenny is implemented.
Any cosmetic items bought for Alex during this time will remain on players' accounts. Any further DLC characters that emerge before Zenny is implemented will also be free trials.

First Pokemon GO Screenshots Revealed
The Pokemon Company and Niantic Inc. today released the first screenshots of the upcoming mobile game Pokemon GO.
The first official screenshots come just days after alleged footage from Pokemon GO emerged after Niantic CEO John Hanke's South by Southwest presentation.

Instant Level 60 Bug Removed From Star Wars Battlefront
You're no longer able to reach the maximum level of 60 in Star Wars Battlefront in just a single round.
A large patch on Tuesday added spectator mode, a higher level cap, new weapons, and more. However, it had the unfortunate side effect of allowing some players to reach level 60 in one round, after which the game would crash.
Battlefront's community manager has let everyone know that the rank stats for these players will be reset. "We apologize for any inconvenience but this step is necessary so that you can properly gain levels again and avoid crashes at the end of rounds," said Sledgehammer70 on the forums.

New Report Says ‘PlayStation 4.5′ Is Real
We still don't have any official word, but another independent report has stated that Sony is indeed working on a "PlayStation 4.5."
We first caught wind of a possible PlayStation upgrade last week. According to Digital Foundry, Sony's research and development labs already have prototype devices, and its sources are calling it the "PlayStation 4K."
However, despite the name, Digital Foundry speculates that "while more GPU power is being offered to developers, realistically it is nowhere near enough to provide native 4K gaming at the same quality level as current 1080p titles."
