Based on the teases so far, Fortnite’s next season to be heralded by the launch of rocket in the evil lair near Snobby Shores, and Epic wants to make sure you don’t miss the occasion. An in-game message has specified exactly when that rocket lifts off, and the event is coming very soon.
Specifically, it happens June 30 at 10:30 PDT / 13:30 EDT / 18:30 BST. Epic recommends you “get in-match on Saturday” by those times “and look to the sky. It only happens once!”
This week’s update seems to have paved the way for the rocket’s launch - and fall - with the remnants of a crashed rocket briefly appearing at Anarchy Acres, as captured in the video below. That appearance seems to have been a glitch, but it does indicate the rocket’s falling somewhere. Whether that somewhere is indeed Anarchy Acres remains to be seen.
The ten parachute onto an island...
The rocket is launching soon, but it’ll likely be a bit longer before we find out what exactly it does. The is scheduled for nearly two weeks from now, so the rocket probably won’t have an immediate catastrophic effect on the map, but it should make for a very pretty light show.
Here's your preview of what that rocket landing might look like.
The Brotherhood of Steel plays a part in Fallout 76, though the exact size of that part remains to be seen. The organization has, at least, made its way out to West Virginia, and left evidence of its visit behind - though how this fits into the lore remains to be seen.
Bethesda’s been releasing some of those E3 gameplay videos in high quality pieces over the past week, and with the benefit of 4K quality and pause features we’ve gotten to examine that footage in exquisite detail. In the multiplayer gameplay video - which you can see below - some remains from the Brotherhood are visible.
There are plenty of wastelands to live through in the .
If you zoom in real close to the shot starting at 1:45, and squint very hard at the barricades next to the downed vertibird, you’ll see a familiar logo painted there. A winglike pattern, a sword in the middle, and a handful of gears in the background - the emblem of the Brotherhood of Steel.
Now, things start to get a little weird once you tie this into proper Fallout lore. The logo shows the larger gear on the right side of the sword, which indicates that this is specifically the East Coast chapter of the Brotherhood - the one depicted in Fallout 3. This part of the organization gets founded in 2254, over 150 years after Fallout 76 takes place.
The Brotherhood proper was founded in 2077 in the immediate aftermath of the nuclear war which wiped out civilization, but as far as the Fallout story so far has gone, they had been locked up in a California military shelter since then.
The Crew 2 reviews have dropped, meaning you can start tearing across Ubisoft’s condensed version of America. From LA to NY, you can leave your opponents far behind by car, boat, or plane. In our own impressions of the game, based on its closed beta earlier this year, we say:
“The environment, its visual and navigable diversity, the scale of the setting, its multiplayer promise and the technical quality of providing this without a stutter are all worthy of genuine marvel.”
However, it seems that not everybody was as impressed as we were by Ubisoft’s racer.
Check out our list of the on PC.

Well, it's the weekend, folks. You know as well as I do that a weekend means it's time for yet another roundup of the very best gaming deals this week has had to offer. It also means I'm going to spend a couple more hours trying to continue my first playthrough of Dark Souls 2, which, let me tell you - is an odd game to come to after just finishing Dark Souls Remastered. That said, GOG's recent addition of the last of the original Monkey Island games may make for an ideal distraction, given that three out of four of those games are essentially flawless. Anyway, onto the deals! As usual, we've got deals that'll work in the UK, deals that'll work in the US and some deals that will work in both the UK and US, as well as presumably many other places. Let's get started. Worlds Adrift is a survival-y, build-y, floaty, flying, massively multiplayer type of game that's hit some headlines relatively recently. The folks from Green Man Gaming joined forces with our sister-site Jelly Deals to offer 40 copies of the game. To be in with a chance of winning a copy, you can enter on the link below.
