    Peely has been kidnapped in the first Fortnite Chapter 5 trailer.

    Ahead of The Big Bang event happening at 2PM ET, Epic has released a quick look at the game’s impending Chapter 5. It includes a new island, a train to ride, some revamped movement mechanics, and the ability to heal and move at the same time. Talk about innovation. Oh, and as the leaks suggested, both Peter Griffin and Solid Snake are there. Players now have just a few hours left to enjoy the nostalgia of Fortnite OG.

    A monster week for entertainment releases.

    Leading the way is the biggest monster of all, as Godzilla Minus One hits theaters. Also in theaters: John Woo’s Christmas-themed revenge movie Silent Night.

    Atari 50 is getting a big update.

    Now that developer Digital Eclipse is under the Atari umbrella, the studio is about to drop the first major update for its brilliant retro collection / playable documentary Atari 50. It launches on December 5th, and will add 12 new (old) Atari 2600 games. Unfortunately, it’s not clear yet what games will be coming, but it sounds like this is just the start of many updates to come.

    Stop-motion sci-fi.

    The new trailer for Harold Halibut — an upcoming adventure game from German studio Slow Bros — looks absolutely gorgeous. The handcrafted game has been in the works for around a decade, but it doesn’t look like we’ll have to wait too much longer to explore: it’s expected to launch in early 2024 on the PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X / S (it’ll also be on Xbox Game Pass).

    “Characters in the world will now have a face.”

    That’s one of the big features coming to Dwarf Fortress as part of its free “adventure mode” update, which launches next April. In addition to the new procedurally-generated character portraits, the mode will also introduce “rich conversations,” more detailed maps, and revamped combat.
