The second part of the Friday news, and the last of the week:
Fortnite 8.51 introduces invisibility bombs
https://www.pcgamer.com/fortnite-v851-patch-notes/
Fortnite 8.51 is a small update that contains a handy little bomb. The Shadow Bomb hides you in a puff of smoke and makes you temporarily invisible to enemies, so you can sneak behind them and fill them with bullets. It also gives you a bit of ninja agility, to boot. See it in action above.
The bugs-and-rags Assassin boss is now live in Hunt: Showdown
https://www.pcgamer.com/the-bugs-and-rags-assassin-boss-is-now-live-in-hunt-showdown/
The Hunt: Showdown 6.0 update is now live, and that means that the Assassin, a new boss announced at the beginning of April, is now roaming free in the Louisiana swamps. The Assassin is a fast-moving creature made from rags and bugs—a bit like Ragman, from the sound of it, but without the chiseled pecs or rigid moral imperative—that uses vertical surfaces to enhance its mobility and can temporarily clone itself to cause twice the headaches for hunters.

Now that WWZed is established as a legitimate success, developer Saber Interactive has laid out its plans for post-release updates, which will begin later this month with a new mission set in Tokyo. The May add-on will also add a new type of zombie that spits a deadly virus and can come back to life (well, undeath) if it's not "properly dispatched."

Ongoing support for Anthem is not dropping off, despite persistent rumours that key development staff have moved on to other projects. Both executive producer Mark Darrah and lead producer Michael Gamble are believed to have moved on to Dragon Age 4, a rumour supported by this recent coy Tweet by Gamble (and one that Gamble elsewhere seems to deny).
Fallout 76's next update will let you run a shop

Fallout 76's next and final Wild Appalachia update, Patch 9, has piqued my interest with the promise of player-run shops. Finally, you can start attracting players to your camp where they will be able to buy all your junk and fill your pockets with caps. Start having a browse in your stash to earmark some of your hoard for sale.
