Most of the story of Destiny 2's Season of the Wish is over for now, but Bungie will give you new reasons to return to the Dreaming City next week with the addition of Riven's Wishes. The new weekly pursuits are set to give players access to high-end rewards, including guns from the Last Wish raid, Exotic armor pieces, and cosmetic weapon ornaments.

Bungie revealed new details about what to expect as Season of the Wish continues in its latest This Week in Destiny blog post. Riven's Wishes are a set of new weekly pursuits that'll cover the next six weeks.

"Starting on January 30, players can visit Mara Sov to accept a weekly quest with a high-risk objective in the Dreaming City, such as completing Legend Lost Sectors or dungeons," Bungie wrote in the blog. "Upon completion of these weekly objectives, players can return to Mara to receive a Wish Token. Each week, you can use this token to choose a prize from one of three different categories."

There are 25 total Tuning Stones you can acquire in Diablo 4, but that doesn't include the two most powerful of the bunch, the Evernight and Genesis. These are called Uber Tuning Stones and they are far rarer than any of the other Tuning Stones you can get your hands on in Season 3.

The Evernight and Genesis stones are only found by completing specific tasks in Diablo 4. However, the reward is worth the effort, as both stones can be incredibly powerful if you equip the right Governing Stones along with them. To see the methods of acquiring both Uber Tuning Stones, look at the guide below.

Getting the Evernight Uber Tuning Stone

First up, we have the Evernight Uber Tuning Stone, which has the following effect: "The supported Skill grants you +4 to all Skills when used for 2.0 seconds." You are also to upgrade the Evernight stone by acquiring more of them and slotting them in on your Seneschal companion.

In an announcement on Steam, the development team at Nexon said it was with a "heavy heart" that it would soon be shutting down the sword-based multiplayer title's live service operations.

"To create a game that could be cherished and enjoyed over an extended period, we invested much consideration and effort," Nexon's statement reads. "However, regrettably, we must bid our sincere farewell as of April 5, 2024. We apologize that we could not come to you with better news."

Progression in Enshrouded can be quite challenging. That's because fixtures like fast travel points are somewhat limited, and you need to be well-prepared if you venture deeper into lands that are covered in insidious mists. Still, if you gain permanent boosts as a Flameborn, you'll be on the road to success. You just need one very special material. Here's our guide on how to get Sparks in Enshrouded.

How to get Sparks in Enshrouded

You can get Sparks in Enshrouded by discovering and interacting with Flame Shrines and Flame Sanctums. Here's a quick summary:

• Sparks are absolutely necessary if you want to "strengthen the Flame" further. You can learn more about these permanent boons in our Flame Altar upgrades guide.
• You'll initially hear about Spark locations upon clearing the Ancient Spire - Springlands tower, which is due north of your base.
• From there, you'll gain more information about these landmarks by (a) talking to rescued NPCs, (b) tagging another Ancient Spire, or (c) discovering certain Flame Shrines/Flame Sanctums. Note that rescued NPCs refer to the Blacksmith, Hunter, Alchemist, Farmer, and Carpenter.

Below, you can see a map with the locations of a few Flame Shrines and Flame Sanctums that are near your initial base. The landmarks are denoted by a fire symbol inside a white diamond icon. Take note that the game doesn't automatically distinguish between shrines and sanctums that have already been visited and those that still have Sparks.

  How to find the Hunter in Enshrouded

  You can find the Hunter by making your way to her own Ancient Vault. This landmark is due northeast of your initial base, or directly west from the Springlands Ancient Spire fast travel point.

  The best way to reach the Ancient Vault - Hunter is by clearing the Springlands Ancient Spire, which then becomes a waypoint. This lets you jump off the tower prior to activating your Glider. From there, you just need to follow the grassy plateau that leads further east. Just watch out for scavenger and wolf enemies along the way.

Epic Games has announced that Fortnite will return to iOS in Europe in 2024 via the Epic Games Store, which is wild because of the Apple v. Epic drama from last year.

Epic doesn't have a timeline about when the Epic Games Store or Fortnite will be coming to Apple devices yet. All that we know so far is that these two apps will only be available for iOS in countries covered by the European Union's Digital Marketing Act.

Fortnite will return to iOS in Europe in 2024, distributed by the upcoming @EpicGames Store for iOS. Stay tuned for details as we figure out the regulatory timeline. We'll continue to argue to the courts and regulators that Apple is breaking the law. https://t.co/MHh6EGVinC

The very cool Lego Optimus Prime from Transformers is on sale for $144 at Macy's as part of the retailer's Valentine's Day promotion. Normally $180, the 20% discount matches the best price we saw during Black Friday last year, so now's a great time to pick up the 1,508-piece set. As an added bonus, you'll get a free box of chocolates with your purchase. That means you can gift the chocolates and keep Optimus Prime for yourself. This offer technically runs through February 15, but the leader of the Autobots is marked "low stock" by Macy's.

See at Macy's Optimus is ready to roll out.

What sets this particular Lego set apart from many other licensed kits of this size is that it has a level of interactivity built into it. Though you won't be pulling off dynamic poses, you will be able to gently adjust the limbs of Optimus, equip him with his trademark ion blaster, and you can even replace his hand with his legendary Energon-Axe.

The real magic here is that Optimus can transform into his signature truck mode, easily shifting from Autobot commander to a big rig that's ready to roll out. To get to that point is the fun part though, and with 10 bags filled with hundreds of bricks, it'll take you just over three hours to build everyone's favorite Cybertronian.

Skull and Bones will receive an open beta February 8-11, with progress and exclusive rewards earned during the beta period carrying forward into the full game when it releases February 16, 2024.

Beta players will be capped at Infamy Tier 6, but can earn five exclusive rewards that will also carry over to launch, including a unique ship cosmetic, emote, weapon, and Lemur pet. The beta, just like the full game, will feature cross-play and cross-progression between Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and those playing on PC via the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store. Those looking for even more of a head start can subscribe to Ubisoft+ to play the full version of Skull and Bones three days early on February 13.

Ubisoft has additionally lifted the veil on what the open-world pirate RPG's endgame will look like. After finishing the game's campaign, players will go from working for various pirate Kingpins to becoming one themselves, as they look to build their illegal empire by controlling trade routes, manufacturing and selling goods like rum and opium, committing heists, and engaging in hostile takeovers of rival pirate lords. Each season will add new endgame features, according to Ubisoft.

In a major policy reversal, Apple has announced it is opening its App Store up to game-streaming services. This marks a big win for companies like Microsoft and Nvidia--both of which offer game streaming services that were previously only accessible on iPhones via browser--as well as consumers, who will theoretically be able to access programs like Xbox Cloud Streaming through a designated app.

Apple shared the announcement in a developer blog post, writing, "Developers can now submit a single app with the capability to stream all of the games offered in their catalog." The change is effective immediately and will be implemented worldwide, according to the company. However, it is still up to individual companies to design and submit an app to the store, meaning it could be some time before consumers have access to their game catalogs via the App Store.

The company explained that these changes "reflect feedback from Apple’s developer community and is consistent with the App Store’s mission to provide a trusted place for users to find apps they love." It then added that it will be up to the apps that host this content to ensure that "all the software included in their app meets Apple’s high standards for user experience and safety." GameSpot has reached out to a Microsoft representative regarding the company potentially developing an Xbox application for the Apple App Store and is awaiting comment.

Earlier this month, the Madden 24 team deployed a patch that was meant to address the in-game player fatigue system in such a way that it would disrupt the competitive meta of frequently blitzing defenders to cause chaos for opposing offenses. Unfortunately, the patch didn't work nearly as intended and players have been left with a worse system for a few weeks and counting as a result.

On January 10, EA Tiburon deployed the patch, targeting players who aren't dedicated pass rushers and thus likely undersized to suffer more severe stamina penalties when engaging with bigger offensive lineman. In short, blitzing defenders from groups other than the defensive line needed to be nerfed. Here's how the patch notes say it should've worked:

• Tuning to fatigue logic so defenders who are not dedicated pass rushers will suffer a more severe fatigue penalty when engaging with a pass blocker that is significantly bigger than them.
  • DEV NOTE: With the prevalence of Defensive Back blitzes being used as staple defenses, we noticed that there were many cases where the DB would get picked up by a Tight End or an Offensive Lineman that was significantly bigger and stronger than the defensive back but the blitzing DB would be able to engage in this mismatch over and over again without fatiguing. Now if a defender who is not a dedicated pass rusher having a Power Move and Finesse Move rating below 70 engages in a blocking mismatch where they are outweighed by 90 lbs or more, they will suffer a significant fatigue hit.

However, players quickly found several issues with this update. For one, where the notes say "if a defender who is not a dedicated pass rusher having a Power Move and Finesse Move rating below 70," it seems to be the case that the defender suffers the stamina penalty if either is true, not both as the "and" seems to suggest.

Publisher Bushiroad and developer KLab Games have announced that the global version of Love Live School Idol Festival 2 Miracle Live will launch in February 2024.

In a peculiar turn of events during the same announcement, the companies also revealed that the game's servers will close on May 31, 2024, along with cutting off in-app purchases.

Many Twitter users have left comments under the announcement, mainly asking why even bother launching the global version of the game at all if it's only going to be around for three months. The previously launched Japanese version of the game is also already set to shut down and will be closing its doors on March 31, 2024.
