Kotaku Thursday, December 7, 2023 12:15 PM  It's no secret that Grand Theft Auto VI takes a lot inspiration from IRL events and people, but one person colloquially called the "Florida Joker" has seemingly taken umbrage with Rockstar Games for possibly copying his whole entire vibe. |
Kotaku Thursday, December 7, 2023 12:00 PM  In Modern Warfare 2019, the reboot of the popular Call of Duty series, a 10-person multiplayer killstreak rewards you with white phosphorus, an odorless, waxy chemical you can drop on the battlefield to kill dozens in one fell swoop. It was a controversial addition to an already controversial game series, which has,… |

PCGamesN Thursday, December 7, 2023 3:34 PM Now that players finally have their hands on The Day Before after numerous delays and questionable announcements from developer Fntastic, it's abundantly clear the game can't meet the hype it has gathered over the years. Not even three hours into its early access launch on Steam, players are reviewing The Day Before poorly, claiming it has broken UI elements, a lack of stable servers to connect with, and many game-breaking bugs.

PCGamesN Thursday, December 7, 2023 2:16 PM Let's face it: interacting with gamers on the internet can oftentimes be a cesspool of angst and conflict, but thankfully, series like Kind Words are tipping the scale. Debuted in 2019 to cult fanfare, Kind Words encouraged gamers to write nice letters to real players while trading stickers and listening to chill lofi tunes. It's certainly a niche game with limited appeal, but its recently announced sequel will be expanding on this chill letter-writing loop if this is your cup of tea.

PCGamesN Thursday, December 7, 2023 12:38 PM Baldur's Gate 3 has seen a fair few cheeky exploits in its time, but this has to be one of the most immediately game-breaking I've witnessed first-hand. Allowing you to generate functionally infinite gold out of thin air in just a few minutes, this BG3 shop exploit has the potential to make both you and the merchant you're currently trading with filthy rich in next to no time. It's a pretty rapid way to demolish the careful balance and economy of the Dungeons and Dragons RPG from Larian Studios, however, so use it at your own risk.

PCGamesN Thursday, December 7, 2023 12:33 PM EVE Online revealed its standalone sister FPS, Eve Vanguard, back at Fanfest in September, and the community response was mixed. Some were thrilled that CCP Games is heading back in the FPS direction, while others believe the company should have learned from its previous attempt, Dusk 514, and stuck to what it excels at. With the First Strike test now available for all Omega subscribers, I jump into a few games with CCP developers to get a sense of whether the team's onto a winner with its Escape from Tarkov-like extraction shooter.

PCGamesN Thursday, December 7, 2023 12:29 PM How do you get Lego Fortnite animal products? This loot is helpful not only for making delicious food back in your village but also for getting some components required to make the more complex tools or items you need to upgrade your village. While gathering loot from enemies is a relatively straightforward affair, and petting animals isn't all that tricky either, they have separate loot on offer if you decide to kill them instead. It's not nice, granted, especially as these adorable Lego Fortnite animals haven't done anything to you, but sometimes, great sacrifices need to be made in survival games.

As Colossal Order does valuable work improving performance and technical troubles in the building sim sequel, particular, small-scale aspects of the overall simulation are being remedied by devout CS2 players. Despite a lot of tweaks and improvements since the original Cities Skylines, the traffic and vehicle pathfinding systems in Cities 2 can often be the source of frustration, as service vehicles randomly decide to bail out from their duties, and your beloved citizens pull bizarre, illegal u-turns in the middle of the highway, blocking every lane for miles and miles.

The developer of the anime game always keeps its fans in the loop with regular Twitter posts and live streams, so you can plan where you want to spend your hard-earned primogems. With a two to three-week turnaround for banners, the roster of Genshin Impact characters is always changing, and the free PC game regularly introduces two new characters to wish for. Every limited-time character banner - or event wish - contains a five-star character and three four-star characters with increased drop rates.

It can be hard to keep track of all the weapon skins available, but we've gone through them all to provide the ultimate guide to every single one in the game right now. When Valorant was Project: A and little was known about the game, Riot made one thing clear - it would be a game for skin collectors.

There are currently 74 Genshin Impact characters available, so there's no shortage of candidates for your dream team. But with so many different weapons, elementals, talents, ascension bonuses, and constellation upgrades, finding your favorites can be challenging. Don't let the placement of the characters on our Genshin Impact tier list deter you from pulling on the next character banner. While base stats and elemental abilities are important, the value of a character also depends on personal playstyle, available weapons and artifacts, and team composition. It doesn't matter if your favorite Genshin Impact character is on one of the lower tiers; you can still make it work with our recommended Genshin Impact builds. Being on a lower tier in the free PC game means that there are better alternatives, or the character needs a very specific build or team to shine.

PCGamesN Thursday, December 7, 2023 11:40 AM December 7, 2023 We checked that the best Roblox music codes were valid. What are the latest Roblox music codes? There are thousands of popular songs available to listen to in Roblox, simply by entering music ID codes into your boombox or the radio. Using song IDs, you can play your favorite TikTok songs in games with your friends. So how do you play music in Roblox? The method varies depending on which game you want to blast your tunes in. Some games allow you free access to the boombox - simply equip and press it to bring up a text box in which you can enter a song ID code. Catalog Heaven is a great place to test the Roblox music codes you find, as it allows you to equip any boombox in the shop and try it out. In most games, however, you'll need to use the radio to play music. This is usually part of a paid Game Pass - the price of a Game Pass is set by each game developer individually. Once you have access to the radio, you can use it in the same way as the boombox - simply enter the song ID code and press play. Occasionally, tracks are taken down by Roblox, so if a code stops working, you'll have to look for a replacement. Here are the best radio music codes in Roblox that work in December 2023.

Ultimately, Paragon was shut down in April 2018 after two years in an early access state.

PCGamesN Thursday, December 7, 2023 10:00 AM What is the best LMG in Warzone? Warzone LMGs are all too often overlooked when choosing the game's best weapons and it's not hard to see why. In general, they take as long to down enemies as assault rifles and they have similar rates of fire, too. However, unlike ARs, LMGs are very heavy and come with some of the worst aim-down-sight speeds, mobility, and 'gun-ready' times in the game. So why would you bother using an LMG in Warzone? Well, with the best Warzone loadouts, you can considerably improve the maneuverability of the best Warzone LMGs.

James Cameron's Avatar hit theaters in 2009 and absolutely demolished box office records. It spawned a sequel (with more on the way), as well as books and a theme park attraction. Now, the franchise is diving into gaming for the first time in 14 years with Ubisoft's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is a first-person, open world game that takes place on a portion of Pandora not yet seen in the films. Massive Entertainment, a Ubisoft studio, developed it. Ubisoft did the Avatar movie tie-in back in 2009, so the company is working from experience. Not to mention the publisher is no stranger to the open world genre, with several Far Cry titles under their belt. And, to address the possible elephant in the room, there is Far Cry DNA all over Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.
However, this isn't a bad thing in and of itself. Remember, Far Cry 3 was once called "Skyrim with guns" and yet it revitalized the franchise. Similarly, even the original Avatar movie faced comparisons to Dances with Wolves, then made literally billions of dollars. Not everything has to reinvent the wheel; it's all about execution.
So, is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora more or less Far Cry with an Avatar paint job? Sort of. But, does it execute it well? Also sort of.
In Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, you take control of an unnamed, customizable character, however not in the way the human characters in the film use an Avatar. In this game, you're actually playing as a Na'vi, a choice I really liked. You customize basically everything about your character, from body type and voice down to stripe patterns your character has. You can even adjust the bioluminescence of their skin.
However, this is pretty much where choice ends. The character has a personality and interacts with the world in ways you don't really get to influence. While you are a Na'vi, you are one that was more or less raised in captivity. This means you are learning about Pandora, but still have an emotional connection to the planet.
The plot of the game takes place sometime after the first movie, and only barely references the events of it. The main conflict of the game is between the resistance, the Na'vi tribes of Pandora, and the militant RDA. This is a pretty black and white conflict, especially from the lens of a Na'vi protagonist. I actually found this refreshing. Sometimes it's nice to have a clear good vs. evil story.
The protagonist, one of the last of their clan, must discover their identity as a Na'vi and place on Pandora. This translates into gameplay by your character being the liaison between the mostly human resistance and the native tribes. I think they nailed this aspect. A Na'vi protagonist gives a very different perspective than what the films offer. Therefore, it allows a deeper dive into Na'vi culture than if your character was an Avatar driver.
In fact, the world building in this game is probably its greatest strength. The first step into Pandora is one of those jaw dropping moments games don't happen as often for me anymore. It reminded me of leaving the vault for the first time in Fallout 3. I found myself stopping and just enjoying the view multiple times throughout the game.
A lot of care clearly went into Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Massive Entertainment did the work to breathe life into the world of Pandora. The tribes act differently, depending on what you're wearing or if you're in favor with them. Additionally, the world simply feels alive. Flora and fauna you can't even interact with are living, breathing, and wandering the world. If you're a huge fan of Avatar, this game may blow your mind in the way Hogwarts Legacy did for Potterheads, in regards to the details.
The world, from a gameplay perspective, offers the usual open world fare. There are animals to hunt, resources to collect, and markers on the map to discover new items and quests. Since you're playing as a a 9-to-10 foot tall Na'vi, you actually can navigate the world via large jumps. This adds an element of traversal not usually seen in these types of games. While this could get rather clunky at times, for the most part it was fun and made me wonder about some of the ridiculous breaks speedrunners are going to do to this game.
The real kicker when it comes to traversal though is a relatively unique mechanic not often in open world games: free flight. Not too far into the game, you gain this option and, while it doesn't completely open up the map for story reasons, it certainly makes traversal much more fun. It's also deeply connected to lore in ways I'll keep vague. I hope if there's anything future games borrow from Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, it's the natural and nuanced way it handles flight.
There are two navigation modes in the game: guided and exploration. Guided will give you markers on the map, as well as on your compass. Meanwhile, exploration mode just gives you hints and landmarks so you can find the objective yourself. I chose the former for most of the game, but I can see the value in using exploration mode in a game like this. When you're not exploring all Pandora has to offer, you're going to be dealing with quests for the resistance and native Na'vi tribes. I feel there is some attempt here to be diverse, but despite the very different setting of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, it falls into the same routine as other open world games.
This, to me, is the game's biggest flaw. There is a section in the story where there are two nearly back-to-back quests where you have to use Na'vi senses to follow a trail to a missing person, fight once you get there, then follow more trails to a cutscene. You're going to be fetching resources, you're going to be finding missing citizens, and you're going to be clearing out enemy outposts. Then you're going to do it all again in a new area. Now, in most Far Cry games this isn't a problem, but in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora it really started to feel like an issue. One reason is because the game world is so full and vibrant that doing monotonous things in it feels especially out of place.
However, the woefully unbalanced combat, during the early and mid-game especially, is the real issue. Standard RDA grunts pose almost no threat to you at all and can be downed with a single arrow, while the armored ones need a whole quiver. Though these armored ones do have weak spots and more options to deal with them later, they are still way more annoying than difficult to deal with. These are also pretty much the only enemy types you'll see for a huge majority of the game, so it gets old fighting dozens of them every time you move to something else. It made me start to put off quests, because I knew I was about to be annoyed by a combat encounter.
Take the outposts for example, like the refineries set up around Pandora. A ridiculous number of enemies usually guard these and the game makes it clear stealth is the way to deal with them. However, this game really doesn't give you great covert options. For a large portion of the game, stealth consists of "crouch and don't be seen." Sure, you can sneak, but unless you do the run completely perfectly, you're toast. I found these outposts to be, frankly, one of the least fun things I've done in a game in a very long time. The game has no business doing so much right and failing so miserably there. Especially when Far Cry has fun and engaging outposts in every release, even if they are occasionally monotonous too. Though I will say, harkening back to the fun of flying, that midair combat was executed quite well. I found myself enjoying taking to battle in the skies way more than on land.
However, to help with combat there is a skill tree full of upgrades and new abilities, though I found the buffs to be the most useful. The abilities, especially combat ones, tended to be so situational that they usually weren't worth attempting to pull off. The skill system actually sort of plays into the series' lore, with the character learning these abilities from the their spiritual ancestors. This is yet another way the game ties lore and worldbuilding into the gameplay.
There is also a cooking and crafting mechanic to use all those resources you've been gathering. I loved how some of it was handled, especially as you rarely see it in games. You can create the same item using multiple types of a resource, and the item actually changes its appearance depending on what you use. For example, if you use a specific plant as the ingredient in your bow, the bow will take on the appearance of that plant. This is such a small detail that really made me happy every time it came up, and it actually made me want to go and find more resources to see how different I could make my gear look.
All in all, I feel like there is a lot to love about Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. There truly is an amazing world to get lost in and forget about the rest of the game. However, it seems like that may be what the developers did. The team went full tilt on aesthetics and worldbuilding, and nailed it. However, the monotony of the combat and many quests takes away from the overall experience. So no, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora isn't a soulless Far Cry clone. There is love and care put into recreating James Cameron's world. However, once the awe of wandering Pandora eventually wears off, you're left with a game that doesn't have as much going on as it should in a world this vast and alive.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is available on the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.

This is one of the most requested characters for the game. Back in November 2023, Arc System Works noted Elphelt was often asked for by fans. She debuted in Guilty Gear Xrd Sign and also appeared in Revelator and Rev 2. Her "sisters" are Ramlethal and Jack-O. In the past, she was known for using guns.
Here is a closer look at some initial gallery images and character art:
A few other updates were mentioned in the Bandai Namco leak. One is that Axl Low and Potemkin are getting new special moves. It also confirmed a 3v3 Team of 3 mode will appear in 2024.
Elphelt will be the second person in Season Pass 3. The first is Johnny the Jellyfish Pirates Captain. He showed up on August 24, 2023. There will be four characters in this pass total, as well as two additional stages for players to fight on. Before that, Season Pass 2 ended with Asuka R. Kreutz.
The Guilty Gear Strive add-ons proved quite popular since launch. In fact, the Bridget DLC character ended up being the most popular one in a survey asking who players liked best. She was the number one for the Season 3 Survey.
Guilty Gear Strive is available for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC, and Elphelt is the next DLC character in Season Pass 3. According to the leak, she'll arrive on December 8, 2023.

Capcom and Niantic announced the first major Monster Hunter Now update, called Fulminations in the Frost, and confirmed it will add monsters like Barioth and Zinogre and the Dual Blades and Lance weapons. All of the new content is live in the game.
With the two new Monster Hunter Now weapons, Director Chihiro Kanno explained why the Dual Blades and Lance were chosen. With the Lance, it was more of a balancing situation. It includes Guard and Offensive Guard skills, making it the second weapon in the game that can. With the Dual Blades, their inclusion was due to fan demand. Kanno also noted that it will bring Demon Mode with it.
As for the new Monster Hunter Now monsters, the inclusion of characters like Barioth and Zinogre were designed to touch on both fan-favorites and wintry themes. Zinogre was the one that was in-demand. Barioth, Cortos, and Wulg were added to help add more "Winter" monsters. As such, they'll be around between December and March months each year. Banbaro was also noted as a winter-themed character, but Kanno didn't note if that one will also only appear in that four month "season" as well. Finally, Kanno noted Radobaan was included so the "sleep" status effect could be added.
The new update also adds a Hunt-a-Thon to Monster Hunter Now. This mode is the only way to find Zinogre. People will need to look for Wayspots with Dimensional Rifts, then go in alone or with up to three other Hunters. People will then face multiple monster encounters.
Here's a teaser trailer showing the Monster Hunter Now Dual Blades, Lance, and Hunt-a-Thon.
In addition to the major features, some other additions and quality of life changes are available in the update or on the way. Special Quests featuring the new monsters added in Fulminations in the Frost will appear. We'll also see larger Item Boxes, though that won't happen until later in December 2023.
Finally, Kanno went over the future of Monster Hunter Now. In Spring 2024 the next major update will arrive. More details about that update and a roadmap to show events and content coming will appear in January 2024. While no specific monsters or weapons were teased, the announcement did note there will be story quests and seasons on the way.
Monster Hunter Now is available for mobile devices, as is the Fulminations in the Frost major update.

HoYoVerse revealed details about Hanya, one of the four-star characters introduced with the latest banner update for Honkai: Star Rail. In the new trailer, we get to see a showcase of all her skills while using the Oracle Brush as her weapon.
Hanya is a four-star Physical Harmony character who appears in Honkai: Star Rail as a judge in the Ten-Lords Commission. Her Skill, Samsara, deals Physical damage to a single enemy and inflicts Burden on them. Burden will apply a damage boost to any party member attacking the afflicted target and will restore one skill point. Burden can also be applied at the start of battle if Hanya uses her Technique. The effect can only be applied to one target at a time though. In addition, her Ultimate can give an ally a speed and damage boost for a few turns.
Hanya recently made an appearance in Honkai: Star Rail as part of the Sojourners' Ghastly Reverie Trailblaze Continuance mission. She featured alongside her fellow judges, Huohuo and Xueyi, as they hunt for spirits in the Fyxestroll Garden. Huohuo was the 5-Star character on the recent banner release, while Xueyi is set to release as part of Version 1.6.
Honkai: Star Rail is available on PC, mobile devices and PS5. Hanya is currently available in the current two banners led by Argenti and Silver Wolf.

Every player who finishes the game's tutorial will also be able to have Gretel join them as a four-star-rated character.
The Black Lagoon franchise, which originated as a manga series in 2001 and received an anime adaptation in 2006, has seen more activity in 2023. A collaboration cafe opened temporarily in Japan in June 2023. Sega will also release a "Black Lagoon Style" crossover scratch on Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis on December 20, 2023.

The Nintendo Live 2024 Tokyo event has been canceled and will not take place in late January 2024. Nintendo announced the event's cancellation while postponing several tournaments related to Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
The chain of event delays and cancellations began when Nintendo received persistent threats aimed at its employees. The perpetrator later expanded their targets to staff members and the public audience of the upcoming Japanese national finals tournament in Splatoon Koshien 2023, which was about to take place in Tokyo on December 16-17, 2023.
Nintendo ultimately decided to postpone the Splatoon Koshien tournament as it prioritizes the safety of visitors to the venue. As the tournament would determine the Japanese representative in the Splatoon 3 World Championship 2024, the company also postponed the world finals tournament that would take place in Nintendo Live 2024 Tokyo.
Nintendo also took the time to review the safety procedures for the Tokyo event. The company ultimately canceled Nintendo Live 2024 Tokyo as it concluded it would not have enough security measures to protect visitors. The Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online challenge finals and 2024 World Championship, which were originally slated to take place in the same event, also ended up getting postponed.
Nintendo Live 2024 Tokyo was originally scheduled to take place at Tokyo Big Sight on January 20-21, 2024 before its cancellation.

Now that the Honkai: Star Rail Pelicana Chicken event is on, HoYoVerse shared a trailer showing the launch of the event. This involved footage from one of the Fan Celebration Kickoff events held once the collaboration began last week.

People who attended could see official Dan Heng and March 7th cosplayers, get hats, collect some of the exclusive tie-in merchandise, and participate in festivities.

However, it did show the cosplayers, cardboard Pom Pom hats, acrylic stands, and fans who also showed up wearing costumes based on the various characters.
Here's the full Honkai: Star Rail event trailer:
As a reminder, here are the six Pelicana Chicken locations that are participating in the Honkai: Star Rail event until December 31, 2023 and offering the additional merchandise while supplies last.

Note that to get those extra items, you do need to buy two of the Honkai: Star Rail Set Meals and have your UID for the game. Doing that and checking in at a signboard will get you the items.
As a reminder, we're in the midst of version 1.5 of the game. On December 6, 2023, Argenti debuted as a five-star and Hanya showed up as a new four-star. That's also when the Silver Wolf banner returned. The 1.6 update is expected to appear later this month and bring with it the new characters Ruan Mei and Dr. Ratio.

Good Smile Company opened pre-orders for its upcoming Pop Up Parade figures of Chun-Li and Juri from Street Fighter 6. Both figures are available to order separately at ¥5,500 / $34.99 each. The pre-order window for both figures will close on January 18, 2024, at noon JST (January 17, 2024, at 10 PM ET).
After previously showing the prototypes at WonHobby G 2023 Autumn in November 2023, the company has published the final sample images for the Chun-Li and Juri figures. Both non-scale figures will stand at around 170mm (~6.69 inches) tall.
Chun-Li and Juri will be the first ones in the Street Fighter 6 Pop Up Parade lineup to be available through public sales, but they are not the first ones to be produced. Good Smile Company had previously made Pop Up Parade figures of Luke and Kimberly. The latter two are exclusively available in the game's Mad Gear Box collector's edition.
The new Chun-Li figure is also officially labeled SF6 Ver. since the company had previously released another Pop Up Parade figure based on her classic Street Fighter II attire.

THQ Nordic announced that Alone in the Dark remake has been delayed again. Originally set for a January release, the release has now been pushed back to March 20, 2024.
The reason Alone in the Dark has been delayed is to avoid crunch. Due to the holidays, developers at Pieces Interactive would have had to work long hours to get the game completed ahead of their Christmas break. With a new March release date, the team now has an extra two months to polish the game. The delay will also allow them to take more time off over the holiday period.
This is the second time Alone in the Dark has been delayed. Originally set for an October 2023 release, the game was pushed back to January 2024. At the time, THQ Nordic cited a busy release window as part of their decision. However, with this latest delay, it suggests the game was not as close to completion as they would have liked.
Alone in the Dark is a remake of the 1992 survival horror classic originally released for MS-DOS PCs. Like the original, it features Edward Carnby and Emily Hartwood, two characters investigating strange happenings at the Derceto Manor. The remake will feature a reimagining of the story and will feature David Harbour and Jodie Comer as Edward and Emily respectively.
Alone in the Dark will release on March 20, 2024 for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Nintendo announced that there are Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Shiny Lucario, Darkrai, and Master Ball Mystery Gifts available and on the way. These, along with a Mass Outbreak event, are designed to celebrate the new Indigo Disk DLC.
The free Master Ball for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is the one that doesn't require a password. Between December 14, 2023 and January 3, 2024, all players will be able to claim one. You just need to head into the Poke Portal's Mystery Gift menu. When you do, the Get via Internet option will let you get it immediately in your backpack.
Both the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Shiny Lucario and Darkrai Mystery Gifts require a password to claim and are available now. The Darkrai's password is "NEWM00N1SC0M1NG." Details about its level and moveset weren't provided. People can get it until December 21, 2023, so that's the one players should claim first.
More information appeared about the Shiny Lucario. The Mystery Gift password for it is "SH1NYBUDDY." This gives you a level 75 Pokemon who arrives in a Cherish Ball. It has the Inner Focus ability and is a Steel Tera Type. It arrives knowing one Steel-type move: Flash Cannon. Its other three attacks are Aura Sphere, Bullet Punch, and Ice Punch. You can use its password until January 3, 2024.
Finally, the Mass Outbreaks involve Flabebe, Litwick, and Milcery. Depending on the area you're in, certain outbreaks will appear. So Flabebe is in Paldea, Litwick is in Kitakami, and Milcery is in the Terarium. While this did start now, people can only start seeing the Flabebe and Litwick outbreaks. The Milcery ones won't show up until that add-on releases. These Mass Outbreaks will then run until December 21, 2023.

As promised, the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC trailer appeared. and offered more of a hint of what to expect. It began with teases of The Teal Mask adventures, before showing Area Zero and Blueberry Academy.
First, the trailer began with the player in front of a crystal tree in Area Zero. After that, we saw some moments from The Teal Mask, such as our first encounters with Blueberry Academy students Carmine and Kieran. The video then cuts to the new school proper, with the player character meeting principle Cyrano. From there, we see the returning Pokemon we can catch there.
It is then that Lacey introduces Blueberry Quests (BBQs). These are things you can look for or do while exploring the biomes. As an example, the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Indigo Disk DLC trailer shows one tasking players with finding "three Ditto Blocks in the Savanna Biome." It then shows what these blocks look like. We also see some gym leaders showing up again to battle and interact with each other at Blueberry. After hearing about special snacks, returning Legendary Pokemon appear.
Toward the end of the video, we get to see the new Elite Four. That also involves matches facing off against some of the more formidable challengers. Then, things close out with a Terapagos teaser and hint of things to come at Area Zero.
As a reminder, ahead of this video Nintendo and Game Freak started teasing the arrival of the add-on with new looks at its signature Pokemon. People can see more of Terapagos leading up to its launch next week.
