The Discontinued Lego The Office Dunder Mifflin Set Is Back In Stock At Walmart

Fri, 03/28/2025 - 05:27

Fans of The Office can pick up Lego's recreation of the Dunder Mifflin Scranton branch at Walmart right now. Though it's not discounted, the 1,164-piece model kit was retired at the end of 2024. It was already difficult to find Lego Ideas: The Office at major retailers for most of last year, so we wouldn't expect Walmart to have this set available for very long.

Nintendo May Have Given Away A Clue About How Some Switch 2 Games Will Work

Fri, 03/28/2025 - 05:10

The most recent Nintendo Direct presentation introduced Virtual Game Cards, or the ability to share digital games between multiple Nintendo Switch consoles in one household or under one family account. However, the official website explaining the concept makes an interesting reference in the fine print that may shed light on how the company will define "enhanced" Switch 1 games going forward.

Hidden among the asterisks on the bottom of the page, the website refers to a heretofore unannounced term called "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" games. Specifically, the site reads "Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games [emphasis added] can only be loaded on a Nintendo Switch 2 system."

The capitalization of "Edition" in that phrase is what's interesting--while Nintendo has mentioned that the Switch 2 will be backward-compatible with select Switch 1 games, the company hasn't elaborated further on how that will work. This new phrase, and the way it's presented on this official Nintendo website, implies that it is an official term to distinguish between Switch 2-only games and Switch 2 versions of other games. Switch 2 Edition games could refer to enhanced versions of Switch games, though whether such a thing will exist or if there will be any upgrade cost remains unknown.

Ubisoft Makes Major Deal That Will Focus On Three Game Franchises

Fri, 03/28/2025 - 04:23

Ubisoft has announced a major change to its organization as it looks to the future, as the company has created a new "dedicated subsidiary" focused on three main franchises: Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Rainbow Six. Tencent is investing €1.16 billion ($1.25 billion USD) to take a minority stake (about 25%) in this new subsidiary.

Ubisoft said the parts of its business that are not included in this new entity, including The Division and Ghost Recon, along with development of certain new IP, will continue in parallel. However, it's unknown to what extent these changes could result in potential layoffs or studio closures.

"This new subsidiary will focus on building game ecosystems designed to become truly evergreen and multi-platform. Backed by greater investment and boosted creative capacities, it will drive further increases in quality of narrative solo experiences, expand multiplayer offerings with increased frequency of content release, introduce free-to-play touchpoints, and integrate more social features," Ubisoft said.

Despite everything, Undertale is now 10 years old. To celebrate the momentous occasion, a one-night-only orchestral concert, The Determination Symphony, has been announced. Those looking to purchase tickets for the exclusive event--which will take place at London's Eventim Apollo on June 22, 2025--can do so starting tomorrow, March 28, at 6 AM ET.

According to the event's press release, the concert will run for approximately two hours and will encompass Undertale's 10-year history, taking fans on a journey from "the initial fall at Mount Ebott, and leading them through Froggit Village, the Snowdin Temple, Temmie Village, and so much more."

This praise includes that given in GameSpot's Undertale review, in which we wrote, "Undertale's soundtrack has timeless appeal and is great at evoking emotions."

Lambert Jackson Productions, the London-based studio behind the Oliver award-nominated play Cruise, will be heading production for The Determination Symphony. The event is scheduled to take place at the Eventim Apollo (formerly the Hammersmith Apollo), one of London's premiere theaters.

How To Defeat And Kill Robots In Atomfall

Fri, 03/28/2025 - 03:46

At some point during your Atomfall playthrough, you'll come across a massive, hulking robot. These robots are all over Atomfall and can come in a few different types. The most frightening of these robots is one with flamethrowers for arms, but all robots pose serious threats regardless of where you are.

If you have tried to engage any robot, you might have discovered that it can be extremely difficult to kill them. Grenades, bullets, and even explosions will only put a dent in the robot's exterior, which can be frustrating if you need to get by them to complete an objective. Fortunately, all robots in Atomfall have one major weakness that you can exploit to fully disable them.

How to kill robots in Atomfall

There's a general process that you want to follow when dealing with any kind of robot in Atomfall. You don't want to just chuck explosives at the robot's feet or shoot bullets anywhere on its exterior armor.

How To Upgrade Weapons In Atomfall

Fri, 03/28/2025 - 03:42

Ranged weapons in Atomfall aren't nearly as strong as other weapons you can find scattered across the Quarantine Zone. While guns can pack a punch, you often need to hit a headshot with them to deal serious damage.

Of course, this can be difficult with how inaccurate the guns can be with all the idle sway and recoil each one possesses. You can strengthen your ranged weapons overall with a few key skills in Atomfall, but there's also a somewhat hidden ability that allows you to upgrade Atomfall weapons.

The weapon upgrade system isn't usable right from the start of the game. In fact, it will likely take you at least several hours to access it.

How Long Is Atomfall: Campaign Length Revealed

Fri, 03/28/2025 - 02:48

Atomfall is a new open world, survival RPG that’s set in a post-apocalyptic version of 1950s England. A radioactive disaster has just occurred, and you’re locked inside the “Quarantine Zone” without any recollection as to how you got there or what’s happening around you. From the moment the game opens up to you, you’re able to go anywhere, complete any quest you come across, and explore numerous different areas within the game’s open-world zones.

The way Atomfall is designed makes it a different experience for every player. This can make it difficult to nail down just how long it takes to beat the game, as some players will take longer to reach the end than others based on the path they take. However, you can see a general timeframe for how long it takes to reach the end credits of Atomfall in the guide below.

How long is Atomfall - Campaign length

For most players, Atomfall will take roughly 15-20 hours to beat. This is contingent on completing the main story and taking time to explore the different zones in the game, as you often don’t have exact quest markers to guide you to your next objective.
