Friendslop’s officially made its way to Fortnite, as physics-based climbing ‘sim’ Peak now has a set of skins in Epic’s battle royale. That should be music to my ears, as Peak’s cheery scouts are impossible to hate—just look at their little faces! While they’re slightly less cute in Fortnite’s style, in large part down to…

Surviving Marathon’s latest map, Cryo Archive, is one hell of a challenge. Completing all the puzzles and the pinnacle event, a boss fight against Compiler, well, that’s on a whole other level entirely that we mere mortals can only aspire to reach. You need to gather six rare keys from the other maps to open…
Let’s go to the city. After the arrival of the Wheatflower Wonderland expansion last September, Sunblink and Sanrio have today revealed the next wave of Hello Kitty Island Adventure DLC: City Town.
