If you like when Arc Raiders sends you on quests to collect items for Tian Wen, then Outstanding Balance is right up your alley. This time, you'll be heading to Blue Gate to track down Dodger's Stash for Speranza's favorite gun-shop owner. Be prepared to visit more than one spot, though.

Dodger's Stash will need to be brought back to Tian Wen, meaning you'll have to extract with it in your inventory. With this in mind, we highly recommend bringing an augment that offers a safe pocket.

When you're ready to tackle Outstanding Balance, follow the steps below.

After launching in 2010--and again in 2016 with the Warmastered Edition for PC, PS4, Wii U, and Xbox One--the original Darksiders is riding onto PS5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles on May 19. Publisher THQ Nordic has announced a new port of the action-RPG, and a few more details on how the PS5 version will differ from the PS4 edition have also been revealed. Physical and digital editions will be available, priced at $30, but there has been no mention of an upgrade path yet for owners of the last-gen version of the Warmastered Edition.

On PS5, Darksiders will be presented in a native 4K resolution and at a "stable" 60fps. DualSense and Activities Cards support has been added, and the game now features a photo mode. It's likely that these graphical upgrades will also be present in the Xbox Series X version, and just like the 2016 release, the Warmastered Edition includes all previously released content.

The debut game from developer Vigil Games, Darksiders followed the horseman of the apocalypse, War, and his steed Ruin as they battled across the wastelands and demon-infested dungeons of a post-apocalyptic Earth. The game featured a unique art direction led by popular comic book artist Joe Madureira, and the game is best described as a blend of Devil May Cry's action with the exploration of The Legend of Zelda.

An official Pokemon Pokopia and Ikea collaboration starts tomorrow--and no, that's not an April Fool's joke--to celebrate Ikea's 20th year in Japan. The event involves both real-world and in-game furniture, though honestly, Pokopia's adorable furniture seems like the vastly superior product here.

"Over its 20 years in Japan, Ikea has believed that a home you truly love grows with you. This belief led to a special collaboration between Ikea Japan and Pokémon's new game, Pokemon Pokopia." reads a statement on Ikea Japan's website (via machine translation). "The message we want to convey is that, just like in the Pokemon Pokopia game, everyone can create a home that reflects their own personality in real life."

So, how exactly is that happening? Starting tomorrow, April 1, a new, Ikea-themed Developer Island will go live in Pokopia, where players can visit in-game versions of Pokemon-themed rooms that will also be on display in Ikea locations in Japan. Players will need to use the Mysterious Goggles and enter a code (which Nintendo will presumably release tomorrow) to get to the island. As for exactly what lies within the island--and what players can get out of visiting it--we're not entirely sure. We do know it will feature some adorable in-game versions of Ikea furniture. According to Pokemon fansite Serebii, the event will last from April 1-30.

Musician and Game of Thrones actor Ed Sheeran has revealed that he rejected a Fortnite collab, saying he doesn't play the game and didn't want to lend his name to something he doesn't care about. Instead, Sheeran worked with The Pokemon Company on a Pokemon song because he loves Pokemon.

"[My record label] asked me to do something for Fortnite. I was like, 'I don't play Fortnite.' I feel like whenever you see my face near any product, I want it to be something I actually do," he told Jackson Warne recently (via ShiinaBR).

"It has to be real. So when my record company was like, 'We can put you in Fortnite, I was like, 'I don't really want to do that.' But, I do play Pokemon. We contacted Pokemon and that's why we did the song. I love Pokemon."

A significant part of the Arc Raiders experience is collecting materials, whether it's to craft weapons and parts, or to invest in projects back in Speranza so you can gain additional rewards. That second option is what you'll be doing if you engage with the new High-Gain Antenna project, which sees you completing an antenna by contributing a variety of materials you find during raids. Doing so will earn you rewards, including usable items and Raider Tokens.

As with past projects you may have completed already, the High-Gain Antenna project can be found in the Projects section of the Raider tab. This is where you'll contribute items towards the rewards you want as you work on completing the full project. It won't be a straightforward process, and there's even a chance you may have to do a bit of killing along the way if you want to get all that sweet loot back home with you.

In the guide below, we'll detail every step of the High-Gain Antenna project and the rewards you'll earn for completing each one.

Mario Kart World's newest update just added a chaotic battle mode and made some changes to a couple of items that already have players celebrating.

The Ver. 1.6.0 patch of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch game includes Bob-omb Blast, a battle mode first introduced to the series in Mario Kart: Double Dash for GameCube. It's similar to the standard Balloon Battle mode, where you score points by hitting other players with items, except that players can only use Bob-ombs--and they can carry up to 10 at a time. Expect pandemonium on the battlefield.

Bob-omb Blast has come to #MarioKartWorld on #NintendoSwitch2! Use nothing but Bob-ombs to burst the balloons of your rivals, racking up points along the way. Score the most points to win in this returning battle mode! pic.twitter.com/HF5q9pvCOh

— Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) March 31, 2026

Earlier this month, fans spotted a Bob-omb icon in an image shared by Nintendo, leading many to believe that the company had accidentally let slip that the mode was on its way. Bob-omb Blast joins Balloon Battle and Coin Runners as one of three battle modes in World--fingers crossed that Nintendo will add Shine Thief from Double Dash and Renegade Roundup from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe down the line.

Weapons and Barbarian director Zach Cregger has further teased his upcoming Resident Evil movie, saying he's making a movie that's unlike anything he's ever seen. He also addressed how he expects there to be fan blowback for what he's doing with the Resident Evil franchise.

"I love the idea of being pitted against a world that is hellbent on annihilating you," Cregger told The New York Times. "It just feels fun and I haven't seen a movie that offers that sort of experience."

He went on to say that if his movie deviates from popular Resident Evil lore, he would expect that some part of the fandom to "crucify" him.

Production on the third season of HBO's The Last of Us series is now underway, and videos and images from the set have emerged, showing the characters Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and Lev (Kyriana Kratter).

Filming is taking place in Vancouver, and with some shoots taking place in public places, people took out their phones and starting filming the production. In this video, we see Abby walking across the top of a building, holding a long rifle, surrounded by production crew. Lev can be seen as well, wielding a bow and arrow. Close-up images of Abby and Lev were also snapped from the set.

As in the game, Lev will be depicted in the TV as a 13-year-old transgender boy. Kratter, who is 15 and played breakout character KB in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, is understood to be cisgender. This has prompted discussion and debate.

Perfect Blue was Kon's directorial debut and was first released in 1997. Set in the cutthroat world of Japan's entertainment industry, the film follows pop idol Mima Kirigoe and her efforts to break into acting. Under pressure from work, obsessive fans, stalkers, and gruesome murders around her, Kirigoe finds herself caught in a nightmare as her reality begins to crack. Considered one of the best anime films of all time, Kon followed it with the influential Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfather, and Paprika, but his career was cut short by his death in 2010.

A Perfect Blue 4K Collector's Edition was released in December 2025. Amazon still has it in stock for $66.84 (was $100). While it is pricier than the steelbook edition, it includes all the same bonus materials plus extras like a 128-page art book, 10 art cards, a poster, and a slipcase cover with alternate art.
