Once you’ve purchased Assassin’s Creed at Fanatical, you’ll be prompted to log into your Ubisoft account–once you do, you’ll see the word “activating,” and the game will be added to your Ubisoft account. You’ll then find the game, ready to play, in the “Games” section of the Uplay desktop app. Get more info on redeeming Fanatical purchases for Uplay here.
If you prefer to play on console, it’s worth nothing that Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is even cheaper for PS4 and Xbox One right now–you can grab it for only $20 at Amazon and Best Buy.

Mortal Kombat 11 Reveals Another New Character, The Kollector
Mortal Kombat 11 developer NetherRealm has given fans their first look at another playable character. During today’s Kombat Kast livestream, the studio unveiled the Kollector, an entirely new fighter making his debut in the upcoming fighting game.
“A proud servant of the Outworld Empire, the Kollector cares only for his wealth and status and will kill anyone to keep it,” NetherRealm said of the character. Much like Goro, the Kollector has four arms that he takes full advantage of in battle, as you can see in his reveal trailer above. The video also gives us a look at one of the Kollector’s Fatalities, which sees him literally ripping an opponent apart.
The Kollector is the third brand-new playable character announced for MK 11 thus far. Earlier this week, NetherRealm revealed Cetrion, an Elder God capable of wielding elemental powers in battle. Before that, the studio unveiled Geras, the loyal servant of MK 11 boss Kronika. Geras has the power to conjure up objects made of sand and even manipulate time.
More than 20 playable characters have been confirmed for the game so far, including an assortment of returning favorites like Kung Lao, Liu Kang, and Jax, who were revealed during Sony’s inaugural State of Play presentation. NetherRealm also unveiled one of MK 11’s DLC characters, Shang Tsung, whose likeness this time is based on Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, the actor who portrayed him in the 1995 Mortal Kombat movie.
Mortal Kombat 11 launches for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch on April 23. The Switch version is being developed by Shiver Entertainment with oversight from NetherRealm; we had a chance to check it out at PAX East 2019 and found it ran and played perfectly fine on the console despite being a visual downgrade. You can read more about Mortal Kombat 11 in our pre-order guide.

Pokemon Go’s Second Legendary Lunch Hour Set For Next Week
Last month, Niantic hosted Pokemon Go‘s first Legendary Lunch Hour, a new, experimental event intended to give players more opportunities to challenge Raid Battles alongside their colleagues and classmates. The developer has now announced a second Legendary Lunch Hour, which is set for next Wednesday, April 10.
Just as before, the second Legendary Lunch Hour will take place from 12-1 PM local time. During that window, there will be more five-star Raids featuring Giratina in its Origin Forme, which started appearing for the first time in Pokemon Go earlier this week. Unlike Giratina’s Altered Forme, its Origin Forme is serpent-like in appearance and has more attack-oriented stats.
Niantic has said it ultimately plans to turn the Legendary Lunch Hour into a regular weekly event, but for the moment, it appears the developer is still an experimenting with and refining the event based on player input. “We are continuing to test this event to make it even better,” Niantic wrote on the Pokemon Go website. “We understand that not every Trainer can participate in every event, but these tests are the first step in creating more events focused on different play styles.”
In the meantime, players still have a few more days to participate in the Bug Out, a Bug Pokemon-focused event running until April 9. Until then, Bug-types like Wurmple, Yanma, and others will appear in the wild more frequently, and you’ll have an opportunity to catch Shiny Scyther. There are also special Field Research tasks focusing on Bug Pokemon to complete, and Incenses will last twice as long as normal and attract even more Pokemon.
Pokemon Go’s next Community Day is set for April 13, and this month’s featured Pokemon is Bagon. Niantic also recently announced it is bringing Pokemon Go Fest back for another year as part of its Summer Tour series of events. This time, the developer will also host Go Fests in Germany and Asia in addition to Chicago.
