Bandai Namco has released the first trailer for Digimon ReArise and also announced the game will launch outside Japan. Pre-registration is already open if you want to sign up and be one of the first Digidestined to play.

In story mode, Digimon ReArise has a Pusurimon spawn inside your smartphone. After conversing with the digital monster, the two of you become friends. Your peaceful days are interrupted though when the monstrous Spirals attack. Pusurimon comes to your aid, emerging from your phone and digivolving into Herissmon. Herissmon becomes your Digimon partner, and the two of you go on a journey together to stop the threat posed by the Spirals.

On your quest, you meet and befriend tamer Michi Shinjo and her partner Salamon, tamer Keito Tamada and his partner Elecmon, tamer Mayu Kohinata and her partner Kudamon, and tamer Takumi Hiiragi and his partner Dorumon. You also run into an Agumon, whose tamer’s identity is a mystery (we’re guessing it’s Taichi/Tai given the focus on the character for Digimon Adventure’s 20th anniversary).

Digimon ReArise has other things to do outside of the story though. You’re able to connect with other players for tamer-versus-tamer battles that support up to five-on-five fights. Battles occur in real time, forcing you to balance your cooldown timers–much like the upcoming Pokemon Masters. Outside of battle, you can raise different Digimon and send them to DigiTown, an enclosed space you can decorate as you see fit and where your digital companions can befriend each other, be fed, and have fun. They can also be sent to a gym to train and become more powerful. Once one of your Digimon’s stats are high enough and their bond with you strong enough, they’ll be able to digivolve and pull off more powerful attacks.

Digimon ReArise is scheduled to officially release for iOS and Android mobile devices in 2019. You’re given prizes for pre-registering, including a digiegg that hatches into Pumpkinmon–one of the Digimon in the game that’s been given a brand-new mega evolution.

Season X of Fortnite has arrived. The new season of Epic’s popular battle royale shooter is officially underway on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices, and it’s shaken things up considerably. As expected, there are new areas of the map to explore, as well as a new Battle Pass to purchase, which gives you access to a load of challenges to complete and rewards to unlock.

That isn’t all that’s different this season, however; this time around, Epic has also made some big changes to how challenges work. In the past, the developer would release a new set of challenges to complete each week throughout the season, some of which would be available to everyone, even if they didn’t own a Battle Pass. Now, however, most of the game’s missions are locked behind the Season X Battle Pass.

The missions are also structured a bit differently this season. Instead of weekly challenges, Epic is grouping tasks together under different, themed sets. Each set also only initially offers three challenges, with additional ones being unlocked as you complete them. There are two themed sets available thus far, Road Trip and Rumble Royale, although more will be available as the season progresses.

You can see the full list of Fortnite Season X challenges thus far below, along with links to our dedicated guides to help you complete them. We’ll continue to update this list throughout the season as more challenges become available, so be sure to check back regularly for all the latest tips and guides.

Fortnite: Battle Royale Season X Challenges

Road Trip Challenges

Destroy Stop Signs With The Catalyst Outfit

As its name states, this challenge involves destroying stop signs while wearing the Catalyst skin. The outfit is unlocked in tier 1 of the Season X Battle Pass, so once you’ve gotten it, equip the skin and get ready to commit some casual vandalism. You’ll need to destroy 10 stop signs in total to complete this challenge, and this can be done across matches. As you’d expect, the stop signs are scattered across the entire island, but you’ll find several of them in a handful of locations, particularly Pleasant Park, Salty Springs, Mega Mall, and Paradise Palms. Once you’ve destroyed 10, the challenge will be complete and you’ll earn 10 Battle Stars. Be sure to check out our stop sign locations guide for more details on where to go.

Visit Drift-Painted Durr Burger Head, A Dinosaur, And A Stone Head Statue

This challenge is straightforward enough on the face of it–all you need to do is visit the three specified locations. The Durr Burger head can be found atop a hill just east of Pleasant Park. The dinosaur, however, is on the opposite end of the map–you’ll see it beside a road to the south of Paradise Palms. Finally, the stone head statue is located near the frozen lake to the north of Polar Peak–it resembles a Moai statue (with a chair on top of it for some reason), so you can’t miss it. Once you’ve visited all three monuments, you’ll complete the challenge and receive 10 Battle Stars. For a more detailed look at where to go, check out our stone head statue, Durr Burger head, and dinosaur locations guide.

Rumble Royale Challenges

In contrast to the Road Trip challenges, the Rumble Royale challenges are all tied to Team Rumble mode. You’ll begin with a total of three tasks, with additional ones unlocking as you complete them. These are fairly straightforward compared to the Road Trip missions, ranging from winning a certain number of matches to assisting teammates with eliminations. You can see the list of Rumble Royale challenges we’ve unlocked so far below.

• Play matches of Team Rumble with at least one elimination (5) — 10 Battle Stars
• Win a match of Team Rumble (3) — 10 Battle Stars
• Assist a teammate with eliminations in Team Rumble (20) — 10 Battle Stars

Unfortunately, Destiny 2‘s next expansion, Shadowkeep, won’t be arriving on time for its original September release date. The upcoming chapter is now slated for October, but there’s at least something you can rely on to happen on time in Destiny this week: the arrival of Xur, Agent of the Nine. Yup, he’s back with another haul of Exotics you can use to complete your collections as we near the completion of Destiny 2’s Year Two.

Where Is Xur?

Head to the Tower and down the stairs on the Hangar side to find Xur. He’s chilling out on a catwalk toward the north end of the area, up a flight of stairs and near the edge of the Tower.

What Is Xur Selling?

As is always the case, Xur is offering an Exotic weapon and three pieces of Exotic armor, one for each character class. It’s a pretty good haul this week if you’re a Titan: Xur brought One-Eyed Mask, a Year Two Exotic he’s only sold rarely–and it has a great role with Enhanced Hand Cannon Targeting. If you need something Xur isn’t carrying, you can always snag an expensive Fated Engram, which will guarantee you an Exotic you don’t already have–but only from the first year of Destiny 2 content or Forsaken. Anything that has come from the Annual Pass expansions over the last year won’t be in the Fated Engram pool, so make sure you know what you need before you buy. You can also grab a Five of Swords card, which lets you adjust Nightfall runs for higher scores, and an Invitation of the Nine from the Season of the Drifter if you haven’t completed them all yet.

• The Huckleberry (Exotic submachine gun) — 29 Legendary Shards
• STOMP-EE5 (Exotic Hunter leg armor) — 23 Legendary Shards
• Winter’s Guile (Exotic Warlock gauntlets) — 23 Legendary Shards
• One-Eyed Mask (Exotic Titan helmet) — 23 Legendary Shards

The Huckleberry

If you like submachine guns, and especially if you haven’t yet unlocked The Recluse pinnacle weapon, The Huckleberry is a gun you should consider. It chews through enemies in PvE situations very quickly. Its Ride the Bull perk increases your fire rate the longer you unload while reloading part of the magazine when you earn kills. It also carries the Rampage perk, making this a bullet firehose that absolutely devastates groups of enemies at close range.

STOMP-EE5

If you don’t have STOMP-EE5 by now and you play Hunter, buy them. This Exotic is essential for some troubling platforming moments, especially in Raids. The boots greatly increase your jump height and maneuverability, while also amping up your sprint speed and slide distances. There’s too much utility in STOMP-EE5 for any Hunter not to own them.

Rolls:

• Slot 1: Fusion Rifle Dexterity; Submachine Gun Dexterity; Traction
• Slot 2: Arrow Scavenger; Scout Rifle Scavenger

Winter’s Guile

Punch-happy Warlocks will enjoy Winter’s Guile. Kill enemies with melee attacks, and the Exotic increases your melee damage. Nothing simpler than that.

Rolls:

• Slot 1: Rocket Launcher Loader; Momentum Transfer; Enhanced Impact Induction
• Slot 2: Shotgun Scavenger; Sniper Rifle Scavenger

One-Eyed Mask

A favorite among Titans in the Crucible, One-Eyed Mask marks enemies who damage you. If you manage to then track them down and destroy them, you get an overshield and a damage increase. This is a great one for helping you clear bounties and Solstice of Heroes requirements in PvP.

Rolls:

• Slot 1: Unflinching Pulse Rifle Aim; Pump Action; Enhanced Hand Cannon Targeting
• Slot 2: Linear Fusion Rifle Reserves; Special Ammo Finder

As another week comes to an end, two more PC games are free from the Epic Games Store if you need some weekend entertainment: mystery thriller Alan Wake and action fighting game For Honor. Epic has been giving away free games regularly for over eight months now, but it seems to be switching things up a bit lately. For one, this week’s free games became available on a Friday, rather than a Thursday, as usual. Secondly, for the past two weeks, Epic has been offering a pair of games rather than just one. The company explained that anytime it gives away a game with an M or PEGI-18 rating, which could be restricted by Parental Control settings, it will offer another free game that’s more accessible to younger players. In this week’s case, For Honor is rated M, and luckily, that means Alan Wake is available too.

Alan Wake is an action-adventure game that unfolds like a mystery-thriller. The story follows best-selling writer Alan Wake, whose wife disappears during their vacation in the Pacific Northwest; soon after, he discovers pages from a thriller novel he doesn’t remember writing. “The foreboding atmosphere that permeates every inch of this wilderness never lets you forget the dangers that await the unprepared, but the feeling of dread that defines the early portions dissipates as you get deeper into this moody adventure,” wrote critic Tom McShea in GameSpot’s Alan Wake review, which scored the game an 8.5/10. “Alan Wake doesn’t offer enough surprises to keep you unhinged, but the storytelling is so enthralling and the combat is so frantic that you’ll be sucked in until the thrilling conclusion.”

For Honor is also free this week. Set in a medieval-fantasy world, the fighting game features four main factions to choose from–Knights, Vikings, Samurai, or Wu Lin, the latter of which was added in the Marching Fire expansion. It earned an 8/10 in our For Honor review for its satisfying combat, rewarding skill progression, and multiplayer modes, although GameSpot’s Matt Espineli found the narrative lacking. “In its highest moments, For Honor is difficult to put down,” he wrote. “Its slow combat pace and narrative shortcomings might turn off those unwilling to take the time to dive deep into what it has to offer. However, make no mistake–those who do will be rewarded with some of the most satisfying multiplayer melee fighting conceived in recent years.”

Both Alan Wake and For Honor are free to claim now through August 9, when they’ll be replaced by Epic’s next freebie, GNOG. To claim the games, all you need is an Epic account, which is free to create if you don’t already have one. After adding the games to your account, they’re yours to keep forever.
