The Epic Games Store has entered the mobile space. Starting today, Android and iOS users in Europe can download the Epic Games Store for mobile, through which they can access Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and the brand-new mobile version of Fall Guys. This includes the first updated version of Fortnite for iOS in four years, just in time for the Marvel-centric Absolute Doom–it’s poetic, since the last update for Fortnite iOS occurred just before the start of the previous Marvel season during Chapter 2.Aside from the free rewards that we’ll get to in a moment, the biggest item here is the arrival of the mobile version of Fall Guys–it’s the same game, now on your phone. All your cosmetic items carry over, and Fall Guys has full cross-progression and cross-platform play between the mob…

Once you’ve flown a couple of times, airline safety videos are usually boring enough to easily ignore (although you really shouldn’t). But a video featuring Pikachu and several other Pokemon teaching you proper airplane safety rules? Now that’s an attention-grabber. All Nippon Airways and The Pokemon Company have teamed up to instruct passengers how to stay safe on aircraft, and the result is an adorable collaboration you’ll want to watch. The video above has some pretty great cameos from various Pokemon, like Farfetch’d’s tiny leek stick luggage taking up far too much space in the overhead compartment, Pikachu observing the seatbelt rule, and a Jigglypuff looking like it’s ready to assault a vaper. This is all the information you’d typically expect from an airline video …

The way traditional Lego games have seemingly vanished has come as a surprise to me. We recently saw the launch of Lego Fortnite from Epic, and Lego Horizon Adventures is on the way this fall from Guerrilla, but Traveler’s Tales made more than 30 Lego games between 2005 and 2022. However, it’s been more than two years since the studio released a Lego game, and with no announcement of what’s next, there’s no guarantee it’ll be another Lego project. This follows reports that making the most recent game in the franchise, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, demanded “extensive crunch.”That’s troubling for the studio’s staff, but it also means there’s a void to fill for families and players who enjoy the way Lego games routinely reimagine pop culture through a kid-friendly lens.

No two Minecraft worlds look alike, but they’re all made up of the same elements–Minecraft’s many varied biomes. Each biome has something that makes it special, whether it’s the mysterious spires of Eroded Badlands or the sunflowers that appear only in Sunflower Plains and nowhere else.

Or that swamps are the only place to find blue orchids?Minecraft might be endlessly huge, but it’s your world–so go in prepared.

Valve has announced that it will be changing the rules surrounding what developers and publishers can write in their store descriptions on Steam.Starting in early September, four sections on Steam store pages will be impacted: “About The Game,” “Short Description,” “Any Special Announcement,” and “Awards.” The first new rule is that no links to other websites will be allowed in those sections, including links to social media pages. This is due to the store pages already having specific link fields for common social media platforms or websites.No embedded imagery that mimics Steam store UI or buttons will be allowed either, including ones that look like wishlist buttons, game capsules, or prices. Additionally, no images, links, or widgets that point to other games on Steam will be allowed. …
