The giant frog creature is the very first monster players face in the introductory quest of Monster Hunter Wilds, meaning the unfortunate amphibians have been assailed by as many as 8 million hunters since February 28. If that extinction-level event wasn’t bad enough, the newest Wilds event quest…
Sierra is also joining the game. Just over two months after shedding the number 2 from its title, and teasing a Switch 2 release, Blizzard has finally given us a date for the upgraded version of Overwatch, and it’s pretty soon: tomorrow, even!
