After a surprise unveiling during the Xbox Showcase last month, Invincible VS--a 3v3 fighting game from Skybound and Quarter Up, a new studio made up of multiple fighting game veteran devs--hadn't seen any new information come to light. Today, that drought ended with an explosion, as the abrasive Guardian of the Globe known as Rex Splode officially joins the playable roster.

Rex Splode's intro trailer shows off a few of his main combos and special moves, which utilize his ability to make anything he touches explode with kinetic energy. He's seen throwing exploding projectiles, turning himself into an explosive ball for multiple hits, and shoving two exploding sticks into an opponent's body before sending them off with a "polite" message.

Rex Splode joins an Invincible VS roster that currently includes Invincible himself, Atom Eve, the Viltrumite Thula, and Bulletproof. Omni-Man did make an appearance in the reveal trailer shown at the Xbox Showcase, but he has not been confirmed to be playable as of this writing.

Although Elden Ring Nightreign has elements of randomization, a new PC mod will let players randomize their runs in even more ways.

Created by thefifthmatt, the Nightregin Randomizer and Derandomizer can be downloaded from Nexus Mods. As the mod's name states, this also includes a derandomizer that allows for "more deterministic runs".

Given that Elden Ring Nightreign already has a procedurally generated system, the modder notes that players may only notice the difference of the randomizer with variations of Night Bosses. "Under the hood, it's creating map patterns nearly from scratch and has a tremendous amount of freedom in its placements," they write. "In the future this can be extended to randomizing enemies and bosses within maps and in-depth placement customization."

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 contains a number of Easter eggs and references to pop culture, but not all of them are going over well. One specific reference has been discovered that might not have been intended to be in the game in the first place, prompting the game's developer to issue a statement.

A fan discovered that a game bearing a resemblance to Guitar Hero is in a trash can. The original Tony Hawk's Pro Skater developer, Neversoft, also made multiple Guitar Hero games, and some are taking the inclusion of the game in the trash can as a sign of disrespect to Neversoft (which closed in 2014). Others say it's a simple joke. For its part, Iron Galaxy said it doesn't know how this happened, but it will remove it soon.

Iron Galaxy said in a statement on Reddit, "We have the utmost respect for anyone who makes games, we're investigating how that got in there in the first place."

It sounds like big changes are on the horizon for Diablo 4. A group of Diablo 4 content creators recently took to social media to announce they'd seen the future of developer Blizzard's ARPG after attending a special presentation, and that Blizzard has "been cooking" with what it has planned.

Content creators like Maxroll's Wudijo and Lucky Luciano, as well as Warlugtv from Mobalytics, took to social media over the weekend to share their excitement and give Diablo 4 players some hope for the future based on what they had seen during a closed Blizzard presentation. Actual concrete details on what was shown weren't shared, but the social media reactions hint at updates or changes to Diablo 4's core systems as opposed to new features related to the game's second expansion slated to arrive in 2026.

It's worth keeping in mind that some of these content creators have officially worked with Blizzard in the past, and it is currently unclear if any of them were compensated for attending the meeting and offering feedback.

Battlefield 6, or whatever the new game ends up being called, is currently only available via a closed alpha test, but an open beta may be planned for the future, according to datamining efforts.

MP1ST reports that Battlefield fans have discovered a string of text in the game's code that references a "Battlefield 6 open beta." This stemmed from the game's newest client update for the Battlefield Labs test. This kind of thing is never meant to be seen by the public, so it's possible "Battlefield 6" is a placeholder name, or that there is no open beta and that the text itself is a placeholder.

Previous datamining efforts have revealed things like the first glimpse at a rumored Battlefield battle royale mode and the game's campaign.
