Elden Ring March Reveal Reportedly Cancelled After Trailer Leak, When Will we Get a Release Date?

elden ring reveal cancelled

Elden Ring was announced back at E3 2019, and the collaboration with Games of Throne author George R.R Martin was one of the most talked about things in the industry.

Since then, fans are eagerly waiting for From Software to reveal more information about the game, but to no avail. Several uncorroborated rumors and speculations have been making rounds on the internet, with some event claiming that the game has been canceled. From Software denied such rumors, but it still didn't reveal anything else about the highly anticipated title.

Elden Ring March Reveal Reportedly Cancelled After Trailer Leak, When Will We Get A Release Date?

Quite recently, in an unfortunate turn of events, the trailer of Elden Ring surfaced online. While the full trailer wasn't leaked, certain parts of the trailer quickly became viral on social media. The game's hype quickly skyrocketed again as fans started to believe once again that we are inching closer to more information about the game. However, things are seemingly not looking good for Elden Ring fans.

According to Venture Beat journalist Jeff Grub, Elden Ring's March reveal has been delayed after the trailer leak. Do note that Jeff was the one who had previously stated that we might get a reveal in March, according to his sources. However, considering how uncertain the video games industry is, he had mentioned that this might change.

This news was again seconded by Lance McDonald, the man popularly known for his Bloodborne 60FPS patch and the Nier Automata Easter Egg, who states that Elden Ring was never supposed to be revealed in March, to begin with. He further states that the people who claimed so are using the leaked trailer as means to justify the delay. This means that we aren't getting another look at Elden Ring or knowing its release date anytime soon if these leaks are to be believed. It'll be interesting to see when From Software reveals the game since fans are getting quite impatient already.

If Today is Mario Day, When is National Luigi Day?

national luigi day

Today, Nintendo fans and gamers all over the world to unite in celebration of video game's most recognisable plumber – Mario. Mar10 is celebrated as Mario Day for no other reason than the way the date looks.

While the red-hatted, moustachioed Jumpman deserves his plaudits for all he's done for the video game medium, his taller green brother deserves some love too.

Luigi first appeared back in 1983, long before most other games characters and for that reason alone, he deserves to be celebrated.

Let's take a look if there's a National Luigi Day and why the tall green boy deserves one.

  • REVIEW – Luigi's Mansion 3 Review

When is National Luigi Day?

The short answer is – there doesn't seem to be one. According to whatnationaldayisit.com, National Luigi Day falls on the 21st of June, but they say "The most recent detection of references to Luigi Day was 5 years, 8 months ago." That means it's likely not a properly celebrated day.

When has Luigi been celebrated in the past?

Most recently, ahead of the launch of (the fantastic) Luigi's Mansion 3 in 2019, Nintendo's Super Mario UK Twitter account dedicated the month of October to the timid green hero. For the whole month, they committed the account "entirely to Luigi and his esteemed history!"

They even loved him so much, that they extended the month well past the launch of the game and into November.

The last time Luigi got major recognition, however, was back in 2013. 30 years after his first appearance, a full year was dubbed "The Year of Luigi". He got his own dedicated expansion to the Wii U title, New Super Mario Bros. U, titled New Super Luigi Bros. U, alongside the launch of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and a couple of other spin-off titles. Most importantly though, Nintendo released a limited edition Luigi-themed 3DS.

Putting the evidence together of the last two Luigi celebrations, it looks like they can only happen in a year when a Luigi's Mansion game comes out.

Twitter Reacts To Luigi Day

I'm not the only one who believes Luigi deserves his own day either! Here is Twitter agreeing with me:

Predicting Five of the Best Cards from The New Pokemon TCG Chilling Reign Card List

pokemon chilling reigns card list

The Pokemon TCG is undergoing a massive resurgence currently. Influencers, celebrities, collectors and more are dipping their toes in what is becoming an increasingly lucrative market.

Coupled with the franchise's 25th anniversary and the recent McDonald's Pokemon promotion, hype around the cards are at a recent high.

Recently, players were treated to the exciting Shining Fates set – providing they could get their hands on them and we're just a few days away from the next set, Battle Styles. Now, however, Pokebeach has announced the name of the next Trading Card Game set, "Chilling Reign".

This has got a lot of people thinking it's going to be based on The Crown Tundra DLC from Pokemon Sword and Shield, so we thought we'd take a shot at predicting some of the best cards from the Chilling Reign Card List. Let's have a go.

  • MEGA BUCKS – McDonald's Pokemon Cards 2021 Value

Chilling Reign Card List Predictions: Glastrier and Spectrier

Starting off with an easy one – Glastrier and Spectrier (along with Calyrex) were the main new legendary Pokemon from The Crown Tundra. With Glastrier being an Ice-type Pokemon and Spectrier being Ghost-type, the "Chilling" just makes too much sense. It would be a shock if these two didn't headline this new set. With their cool designs, these could make for really good looking cards.

Chilling Reign Card List Predictions: Regileki and Regidrago

Two more brand new legendary Pokemon from The Crown Tundra were Regileki and Regidrago – part of the Regi family. Like Glastrier and Spectirer, it makes sense for The Pokemon Company to give these two Pokemon their trading card debuts somewhere in the Chilling Reign card list.

Mr. Rime

Unlike the above four Pokemon, Mr. Rime has already made an appearance in the Pokemon Trading Card game, but, this set presents a perfect opportunity to give him a special, V Card. It doesn't have to be the rarest card in the set, but a full art Mr. Rime card would be very welcome.

Chandelure

Chandelure is a very popular Pokemon. It's a chandelier, that's a ghost, what's not to love. It's a Pokemon that often flirts with the Meta in the Pokemon games and one that hasn't got a lot of recognition in the TCG. If this set is heavily Ghost/Ice-type focused, Chandelure could make a nice Ghost-type V Card.

Aurorus

One of the joys of the newer Pokemon games, especially Sword and Shield is seeing giant Pokemon roaming the landscapes. Not many are as daunting however as the giant Ice dinosaur, Aurorus. The Pokemon is underutilized in the history of the TCG, only appearing a handful of times, so what better time to reinvigorate it than in this set.

Could Trainwreckstv Be Banned From The NoPixel GTA Server?

trainwreckstv banned

Could Trainwreckstv be at risk of becoming banned from the famous NoPixel GTA RP Server? If you caught his latest Twitch stream, you might have noticed that Trainwreckstv was caught 'meta-gaming' on the server, an offence that could lead to a ban. 

For those that don't know, the hugely popular game Grand Theft Auto V has many online servers to play on, and a lot of well know content creators often play on the NoPixel server. This server is only for those willing to role play as different characters whilst they're playing on the server.

If you don't take the role play on the server seriously, and use knowledge given to you from your Twitch chat, you're at risk of being banned for 'metagaming'.

Who Is Trainwreckstv?

Tyler Niknam, who is better known by his Twitch name Trainwrecks, is a popular Twitch streamer and content creator from Austin, Texas. Train is 30 years old and regularly streams games such as Grand Theft Auto, Among Us, and Rust. 

He has a large following of 1.2 million followers on Twitch, you can find the link to his Twitch account below.

What Did Trainwreckstv Do Wrong?

Trainwreckstv has been accused of metagaming on the NoPixel GTA RP server, which could result in the streamer being banned.

After an exchange with another player on the server, it became clear that Train was using knowledge given to him by someone else. This is classed as metagaming, as Train shouldn't have this certain piece of information if he was role-playing properly.

The information was regarding a meth lab location, which is a current story still unfolding on the server. Many have pointed out that this information took weeks for other players to discover.

Could Trainwreckstv Be Banned From NoPixel?

As of writing, Trainwreckstv hasn't been officially banned from the server, and no admins have acknowledged the situation. But many other streamers and players have been banned from the NoPixel server before for metagaming, so if the admins do choose to get involved it could lead to a ban.

The admins do appear to be lenient, as xQc was recently caught metagaming, but had his ban lifted after a discussion with the admins of the server.

Do you think Trainwreckstv should be banned from the server? Let us know in the comments below!

Genshin Impact 1.4 Vennessa: Will she be playable in the game?

If you have been following Genshin Impact lately, you might be aware of the upcoming update in the game. The 1.4 Update is all set to release a slew of new content which includes new characters, items, weapons, and even a dating sim in the game.

As fans are eagerly waiting for the update to drop so that they can get the new Venti banner, miHoYo has released a new teaser for Venti. The teaser which was released initially with English subtitles now has an English voiceover for fans all across the world.

Genshin Impact 1.4 Venti Teaser Features Vennessa: Will she be playable?

The teaser starts off by narrating the fall of the aristocracy and the rise of the Four Winds who were given the task to build Mondstadt anew. These Four Winds comprise the Wolf of the North, Andrius, the Lion of the South, Jean,  the Falcon of the West, Vennessa, and Dvalin, the Dragon of the East. Venti, being the mortal vessel of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos, sets out to meet the Four Winds. The illustration of Venti meeting the Four Winds has a quite jestful nature with Dvalin even mocking him by saying "Do some real work, Barbatos".

One thing that caught the attention of fans quickly was the presence of Vennessa in the trailer. The community started debating whether she will be a playable character in the game or not. However, it is highly unlikely that Vennessa will ever be a playable character in the game considering that she became the Falcon of the West after her death, according to the lore.

miHoYo is known for its immersive and expansive storylines. While this teaser isn't quite new, it still gives us a nice build-up to the Venti banner rerun considering the fact that it has been quite a while since his banner was available in the game. While there are other characters such as Rosaria who are making their debut, Venti remains to be one of the most popular choices for the players. In fact, fans even wanted him to be a part of the Standard Banner. With just a week to go for the launch of the update, Genshin Impact fans have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming few days.

Genshin Impact is available on PS4, PS5, PC, and Mobile.

Opinion: Could an Abby Expansion Be Next for The Last of Us 2?

Spoilers for The Last of Us part 2 are revealed throughout this article.

The Last of Us Part 2 released in June last year and to say it has divided gamers is probably an understatement. It's safe to say, part 2 has been a title met with extreme emotions from right across the spectrum; joy, sorrow and anger to name just a few. One of the biggest reasons The Last of Us Part 2 was met with such an outcry was mostly down to the introduction of Abby Anderson who killed off one of the franchises most beloved characters, Joel, and of course the ridiculousness over how muscular she was. *rolls eyes so hard here* 

In saying that, Abby has also received a lot of praise and there are folks, like myself, who would love to continue her story after she sailed off on a boat, broken and battered, with Lev after that notorious beach battle with Ellie. According to some rumours flying around the internet, a list of Naughty Dog games is doing the rounds that include Uncharted arriving on PC this year, TLOU2 multiplayer and a The Last of Us Part 2 'Abby' Expansion.

While, naturally, these rumours aren't based on anything other than a post on 4chan which, in itself, should tell you all you need to know as it's a pretty disgusting site you should stay well away from, it got me thinking about how much I would love the "Abby Expansion" to be true.

What could The Last of Us Part 2 'Abby' Expansion look like?

Even though Neil Druckmann, co-writer of The Last of Us Part 2, has previously stated that a DLC for the game wouldn't be happening, let's just pretend that it is and what it could look like if it ever was to happen. As I mentioned earlier, we last say Abby fleeing with an injured Lev under her wing into the darkness of the ocean. What I would love to see next would be how Abby and Lev finally caught up with the rest of the fireflies and how her chance at redemption could see her making more positive choices with her life.

I don't believe that Abby's absolution of what horror she has caused needs to end where we left her and her story arc could easily be continued with that of Lev's who only just beginning. As we've seen throughout The Last of Us Part 2, the player was able to switch between Abby and Ellie and that's something that could be worth exploring with Abby and Lev as he sets out on his own quest for answers and even have Abby (and the Fireflies?) help him as they go up against the Seraphites.

Whether this type of gameplay will ever see the light of day, that's really up to Naughty Dog and if they decide to take this unique and widely controversial character to another level by giving her her own continuation. I do think that it would be foolish to never see Abby again in any context because she offers so much grit and complexity that made part 2 what it was.

I also believe that Naughty Dog isn't afraid to take Abby's adventure further, if they wished to do so, due to the barrage of negativity and toxic behaviour received from part 2. We've seen how far the studio is willing to go for a great, at times horrific, story just by the ballsy narrative of TLOU2 alone.

While we wait to see what Naughty Dog has up their sleeve next, which could be an entirely new IP, The Last of Us Part 2 is available now exclusively on PS4 if you've yet to experience the title.

Pokemon GO: How to Take a Snapshot of Landorus, Tornadus and Thundurus (With Pictures)

Take a Snapshot of Incarnate Forme Shiny Landorus Weakness Pokemon GO

Pokemon GO's Season of Legends continues to give trainers plenty to do. There is the rotating raids, different events and the research tasks for players to complete.

One of the events that is currently ongoing is called "Search for Legends". This event contains a variety of new spawns and some Special Research that players need to complete.

The special research contains a variety of tasks, but there is one that is causing players a handful of issues – and we are here to help.

Here's how to take a Snapshot of Landorus, Tornadus and Thundurus in Pokemon GO.

  • RAID GUIDE – Incarnate Forme Tornadus Pokemon GO Raid Guide

What is Searching for Legends?

Searching for Legends is the latest Pokemon GO event. It contains a ton of featured wild Pokemon, including Aron, Baltoy, Roggenrola and, for the first time ever, Shiny Nosepass. Alongside those, Pokemon appearing in Eggs and Raids have also changed.

The event also contains a range of Special Research tasks, with some great rewards. Some of these Timed Research tasks challenge players to take a snapshot of the Forces of Nature trio – and here's how you can do it.

Step 1. Capture the Pokemon

To be able to complete this task, trainers first need to ensure they have the three required Pokemon. Currently, until March 11 (8 am local time) Tornadus is in raids and GO Battle League rewards. This provides the perfect opportunity to ensure you have this Pokemon.

From March 11, Tornadus rotates out for Thundurus – once again providing an opportunity to acquire the Pokemon for the task.

The only tricky one could be Landorus as he is out of raids for a while now. Your best chance, if you don't have one yet, is to trade with another trainer.

Step 2. Take a Snapshot of Landorus, Tornadus and Thundurus in Pokemon GO.

This is the slightly trickier step. To take a photo of the Pokemon – players will need to select them from the Pokemon section of the Pokemon GO in-game menu.

After selecting the Pokemon, players need to select the camera symbol in the top right corner of the screen:

Take a snapshot of landorus

After that, you will be taken to a camera screen where you need to scan a flat surface until you see these little petals floating around:

From there, all you need to do, is click the camera at the bottom and the task is complete:

Repeat this with all three Pokemon at the right stage of the research and you have completed it!
