If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
Walmart's Cyber Monday sale is live right now, with plenty of chances to snatch up some great deals on games, Nintendo Switch, smart TVs and more.
Walmart advertised a $199 Red Dead Redemption 2 PS4 Slim deal last night, and if you're looking to grab one for that price, it looks like you're out of luck. The sale was over almost as soon as it went live, which is a huge bummer because that was a huge deal. However, Walmart has Nintendo's Switch bundle with a $35 eShop card deal live right now.
Fortnite Adds New Skin Based on an 8-Year-Old Fan’s Drawing
One of the latest skins for your character in Fortnite was conceptualized by an eight-year-old fan, and though American players likely just finished eating a mound of turkey, it's time to switch over to chicken.
Back in September, a Fortnite player named Connor got his father to submit a picture of his own Fortnite skin concept to the game's Reddit board. Called the "Chicken Trooper," the drawing was simple, but it resonated with fans who really wanted a chicken included in the game.
Reddit users helped to turn his concept into more detailed artwork, and the idea apparently struck a chord with Epic Games.

Following the success of Rooster Teeth's RWBY and Red vs. Blue, the studio is preparing to debut a star-studded new anime-style series, gen:LOCK, which features the vocal talents of David Tennant, Michael B. Jordan, Dakota Fanning, and Maisie Williams.
In gen:LOCK, on the losing side of a global war, Earth’s last free society recruits a diverse team of young pilots to control the next-generation of mecha — giant, weaponized robot bodies. These daring recruits will find, however, that their newfound abilities come at no small cost. Tennant plays Dr. Weller, the head of the Experimental Science Unit, tasked with identifying potential new recruits for Colonel Marin (voiced by Monica Rial), who leads the resistance's Vanguard army.
