Hands-On With Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion

Splatoon 2 has seen a fair share of free content updates since its initial release last summer. There's no doubt that Nintendo has been relentlessly hard at work keeping the game feeling fresh with new weapons, stages, and gear, not to mention a healthy amount of balance tweaks to the game itself. Now, as year three quickly approaches, the first paid DLC for the game is finally on its way and comes in the form of Octo Expansion.

In every other mode of Splatoon 2, you play as your very own custom Inkling known only as Agent 4. You’re on the job for Salmon Run, you’re the one splatting away in Turf Wars, and you’re the hero in Hero Mode. But, that’s not the case in the Octo Expansion - players will assume the role of Agent 8, an Octoling who wakes up with amnesia in a strange subway station that's connected to a series of research facilities hidden under the city.

Fortnite Fans Share How Building on Impulse Is Affecting Other Games

Fortnite players have developed an innate desire to build, and this sensation is starting to slip into other games.

A thread on Reddit shows just how ingrained Fortnite's building has become. User HooninAround started the thread when building didn't help a mishap in World of Warcraft, saying, "I accidentally got too close to a cliff when farming mats in WoW and I instinctively looked down and hit my ramp button."

User Lokkman explained, "I jumped on H1Z1 and instead of running to cover my initial instinct was to build. This resulted in death." Another user AdzziiFIFA said, "Overwatch had a free trial this week and I kept thinking to build, so I just played Mei."

Lucifer's Bonus Episodes Hint at What Season 4 Might Have Been

Lucifer ended Season 3 with quite the cliffhanger - and on May 28, Fox aired two bonus episodes of the series that the producers had planned to debut as part of a potential Season 4 - but that doesn't mean the show's coming back.

Fox chairman Gary Newman gave a pretty straightforward reason for why Lucifer was canceled, according to Deadline: he boiled it down to "a ratings-based decision."

"We felt like performance-wise, we needed to make that change," Newman added.

We Happy Few Wants to Make 'The Leap'

We Happy Few, which creative director Guillaume Provost describes as “an action adventure game with lots of weird stuff in it," has been around for quite some time in the form of a drug-fueled roguelike. But its stock rose significantly in the wake of its E3 2016 presence at Xbox’s press briefing, where it showcased a BioShock-esque narrative campaign. It’s been mostly quiet ever since before finally re-revealing itself this month. I played a good 45 or so minutes of it and came away mostly impressed. It is clearly doing everything it can to make “The Leap,” like a superstar athlete, from raw potential to polished All-Star.

Developer Compulsion Games and creative director Guillaume Provost explained that over 40 people are now working on We Happy Few – far more than before – and that the past nine months have been spent focusing almost solely on this single-player campaign, which Provost claims is clocking in at around 20 hours long. My demo picked up shortly after the 2016 demo ended, in the shoes of Arthur, the same chap we already know from the last demo.
