After many weeks of rumors, suspiciously familiar skins, and excitable tweets from data miners, Epic has finally confirmed that a Fortnite x Thor crossover is coming. Judging from the date seen in Epic's tweet from the official Fortnite Twitter account, the Thor crossover will likely feature as one of season 4's biggest draws, much like Aquaman was for season 3.

Okay: Imagine your top 10 favorite Fall Guys crashes. Now imagine that half of them are gone. Why did I have you do that? I don't know.
The Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout development team has dropped a preview of what's coming in the next patch, which will "hopefully" release "in the next week." The biggest fix is probably going to be changes that should address the top 5 most frequent crashes for the game, which I know still frustrate some people.

Roboquest sounds like the title of a mid-'90s children's show about robots struggling to save humanity from a climate-change-induced apocalypse. It's actually a new FPS roguelite that's now available in Early Access on Steam—about a robot struggling to save humanity from a climate-change-induced apocalypse.

Barring any further delays, Watch Dogs Legion is coming on October 29. The tantalizing hook of Ubisoft's open world game is that you can recruit any randomly generated NPC to join your DedSec team of activist hackers.

Now Rocksteady has issued a statement of its own, saying that it regarded the 2018 letter as "a call to action," and that after it was received, "we met with all our female staff, we listened, and we dealt with the issues raised." All complaints were investigated, it said, and measures "including discipline or termination of staff" were taken in response.

InXile's follow-up to their 2014 RPG Wasteland 2 will feature co-op multiplayer, a mode demonstrated in the latest trailer and explained in more detail over on the Xbox news site, which is the kind of bonus you get after being bought by Microsoft.

Cyberpunk 2077 will have free DLC like The Witcher 3
https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-will-have-free-dlc-like-the-witcher-3/
Cyberpunk 2077 will be getting some free DLC following the game's launch. Back when The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt released, CD Projekt Red supported the game with 16 free DLC packs in the three months following. It was a pretty good set: new armor sets, a few new quests, Gwent cards, and some alternate looks, but the final DLC was the release of a New Game+ mode. An enterprising Twitter user asked the official Cyberpunk account if the new game would get the same treatment, and voila.

Surgeon Simulator 2 will come slashing onto PC this week, August 27th, bringing another round of comedic, stabby surgery to life. Bossa Studios has a new gameplay trailer to go with it featuring a four-person cooperative heart surgery. The trailer also has great music that I like very much. I believe this is what is called a bop. Thanks, please give me an entire soundtrack of it sooner rather than later.

The tribute to voice actor Rick May in Team Fortress 2 has been made permanent

A new update for Team Fortress 2 was recently released, and beneath notes about the addition of a Summer 2020 Cosmetic Case and some patches are these words: "Updated cp_granary with a permanent Soldier statue". The statue, which is inscribed with the Soldier's line, "That was a hell of a campaign, son!" has been made a permanent fixture of the Granary map, which is fitting as that's the backdrop for the iconic Meet the Soldier video.

Here’s why Microsoft Flight Simulator has a terrifying Australian obelisk
https://www.pcgamer.com/heres-why-microsoft-flight-simulator-has-a-terrifying-australian-obelisk/
While flying the virtual skies of Melbourne, Microsoft Flight Simulator players have discovered a narrow, absurdly high skyscraper that definitely seems out of place in a regular suburb.
As it turns out, this bizarrely towering building is the result of a typo. To generate its maps, developer Asobo used data from Bing Maps, which in turn uses user-submitted data from free wiki world map OpenStreetMap. An OpenStreetMap user accidentally put down the number of building stories as 212 instead of 2, as Twitter user Liam O found out after someone spotted the ridiculously tall building.
