Real-World Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced Treasure Hunt Includes $500,000 In Gold Coins
Later this summer, Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will give players a chance to revisit the age of pirates. But there's a real treasure worth $500,000 waiting for at least one lucky player, thanks to a new contest held by Ubisoft and Unsolved Hunts.
Gold & Crystal - The Lost Treasure of Edward Kenway--which is named after Black Flag's lead character--has been designed to be "a unique and immersive pirate experience." The prize awaiting at the end of this journey is a chest that has a replica crystal skull from Black Flag, as well as gold coins that have been minted with the game's logo.
According to the game's official site, the treasure hunt will likely play out "between two and five years." To find the treasure, players will have to solve 15 puzzles, all of which contain references to Resynced. However, the puzzles are said to be solvable without having any previous knowledge about the game. A preview puzzle is currently on the Assassin's Creed site, which is offering 10 randomly players who get the right answer a chance to win free digital access to the actual treasure hunt when it begins on November 9.

Tears of the Kingdom: Mineru's Construct Amiibo
$35 | Releases September 17, 2026
Preorder at Best BuyThe Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom added tons of cool powers and items to Link's repertoire, including a full pilotable mech that accompany you after unlocking it in a late main story quest. Built by the Sage of Spirit, Mineru--who also makes an appearance in last year's Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment--the stompy mech is one of the most unique--and most powerful--of Link's companions. And soon, Mineru's Construct is finally getting the Amiibo treatment later this year. Mineru's Construct Amiibo figure will launch on September 17for $35, and preorders are already available.
Tears of the Kingdom: Mineru's Construct Amiibo $35 | Releases September 17, 2026Nintendo first unveiled the Mineru's Construct Amiibo back when the Switch 2 launched in June 2025. While it costs a little bit more than your standard Amiibo, this model is larger than them and features more intricate details and articulated arms.
Like other Amiibo, the figure can be scanned into your Switch or Switch 2 console to unlock in-game items and perks for several Legend of Zelda games, including random item drops in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and special fabrics in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
With this new Mineru figure, Zelda fans can finally complete their collection of Sage companions from Tears of the Kingdom. Amiibo figures of game's four other Sages--Riju, Sidon, Tulin, and Yonobo--are also available, along with a few other Zelda figures based on Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the Wild, and Wind Waker.
The Legend of Zelda Amiibo- Bokoblin (Breath of the Wild) -- $21
- Ganondorf (Tears of the Kingdom) -- $27.74 ($30)
- Link archer (Breath of the Wild) -- $35
- Sidon (Tears of the Kingdom) -- $30
- Riju (Tears of the Kingdom) -- $24 ($30)
- Tulin (Tears of the Kingdom) -- $30
- Yunobo (Tears of the Kingdom) -- $30
- Zelda (Wind Waker) -- $20
While we can assume the next Legend of Zelda game will launch on Switch 2, that likely won't be out for quite some time. Thankfully, there are plenty of other Switch 2 games coming out very soon. For some family-friendly fun, there's the adventure-platformer Yoshi and the Mysterious Book while Star Fox fans can hop into the cockpit of the iconic Arwing starship with Star Fox later this year, and Splatoon fans can gear up for the series' first single player-focused entry, Splatoon Raiders--which also has some lovely Amiibo figures on the way.

A trio of Ultra Beasts have returned to Pokemon Go for a limited time. Xurkitree, Buzzwole, and Pheromosa are back as five-star Raid bosses from May 13-19. Each of these Pokemon will appear exclusively in a particular region of the world, but if you have friends around the globe, you can still participate in those Raids using a Remote Raid Pass.
Here are some tips to help you defeat and catch Xurkitree before it leaves Raids again. And for a look at what else is happening in the game this month, be sure to check out our Pokemon Go May events roundup.
Table of Contents [hide]Xurkitree WeaknessesWhile most other Ultra Beasts are dual types, Xurkitree is pure electric, which means the extradimensional Pokemon only has one true weakness: ground types. Not only will ground Pokemon deal super-effective damage to Xurkitree, they'll take reduced damage from the Ultra Beast's electric attacks, making them your best choice.

Epic Games is giving the Zero Build version of Fortnite Battle Royale a massive makeover on May 14, with the last major update in Chapter 7 Season 2. Among Epic's many new additions are a new utility slot exclusive to Zero Build, glider re-deploy at any time when jumping off tall objects, and unlimited sprint when your pickaxe is out--and you'll no longer die from fall damage. These are some pretty fundamental changes that are likely to significantly alter the flow of battle in Zero Build. This is the first time since it was first introduced in 2022 that Zero Build is getting its own overhaul completely separate from build mode.
These changes aren't necessarily permanent, as Epic's announcement referred to the changes as an "experiment." So the final three weeks of Season 2 will be a test to see how the new mechanics go down with players, and the new stuff may or may not stick around beyond that. But it seems likely that at least some of it will, since this sort of overhaul was probably years overdue. Zero Build hasn't really had enough of its own identity to have real gameplay balance in a mode that was designed for building.
Since there are a lot of changes coming to Zero Build BR in the May 14 update, let's go ahead and lay it all out there.

We spend lots of time with our controllers in hand, so you may as well choose one that pleases your senses. If your aesthetic is soft pastels, Target's sale on Hori's Wired Switch 2 controllers might be right up your alley. There are also several other controllers included in the sale, as well as a Hori Switch 2 Puff Pouch, which could likely also fit your original Switch if you haven't upgraded yet. And for those of you super serious about the time you clock in Mario Kart, the Racing Wheel Pro Mini is on sale too.
The pastel controllers and Mario Kart Racing Wheel are on sale until June 20, so you have some time to take advantage of these deals. Target does not specify how long the sale on the Zelda Horipad controller, wireless Horipad controller, and Hori Splitpad Compact will be discounted, so if you want those, we'd advise you take advantage of the reduced prices as soon as possible.
See all Hori deals at Target Hori Horipad Switch 2 Wired Controller $30 (was $40)Hori's ever-reliable Horipad Turbo Switch 2 controller is a favorite for a reason--not only is it comfy to hold and has ultra-fast response time, but it's also much more affordable than Nintendo's $90 Switch 2 Pro Controller. Yes, it is wired, but that's a boon for those who prefer direct input to putting their trust in Bluetooth.
With programmable rear buttons, precision analog sticks, and Turbo settings, you can customize this controller to your liking. The sale includes three beautiful pastel colors, including Cozy Lavender, Cozy Green, and Cozy Pink.
See at Target Horipad Turbo - The Legend of Zelda $38 (was $48)If you're more of a Zelda fan than a pastels fan, this might be the perfect controller for you. The white front plate and gold back plate already make it stand apart from the crowd, but the gold buttons and Triforce insignia in the middle turn up the class. A handsome Link in action on the bottom right completes the look. Add in that it has those programmable rear buttons and Turbo settings, and it makes this controller pretty irresistible.
See at Target Horipad Wireless - Blue $61 (was $77)If you prefer your controllers wireless and don't mind dishing out a little more money, Target does have a deal on the blue wireless Horipad, saving you $16 off the regular price. With a 32-foot range and 15+ hours of battery life, this baby can keep you going throughout even your longest gaming sessions. It has a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery, so just plug it in with the included USB-C cable when you need a recharge.
See at Target Hori Split Pad Compact - Mint Green and White $47 (was $59)If you've always wished that the Joy-Cons were a little curvier, Hori's Split Pad Compact might just change your life. These ergonomic replacements feel like a Pro controller but are designed for use in handheld mode, making the Switch much more comfortable for longplay sessions. It also has assignable rear triggers, Turbo functionality, and a D-pad. If the mint green isn't your style, there's also a Sonic the Hedgehog edition on sale for $61.
Both of these models are for the original Switch and the Switch OLED. Hori hasn't announced a Switch 2 version yet, but we'd wager that one is coming eventually.
See at Target Nintendo Switch 2 Hori Puff Pouch $25 (was $30)Hori's signature Puff Pouch carrying case comes in lots of colors, but if you happen to love mint green, you can snag this one at a discount. The inside has a pocket with a velcro strap to secure your system, as well as an elastic strap built to hold your physical games. While the branding does say this case is for the Switch 2, we can't see any reason not to use it for the original Switch (or any other portable console around the same size).
See at Target Hori Mario Kart Racing Wheel Pro Mini for Nintendo Switch $60 (was $70)Any longtime Mario Kart player knows that playing the game with a controller has its limitations. Leave those in the dust with Hori's officially licensed Mario Kart Racing Wheel, which is modeled off the design of real steering wheels and comes with pedals and onboard controls. It's a definite upgrade from Hori's Racing Wheel Attachment, which is still fun to use but can't quite capture the fun of having real pedals at your disposal.
