Just a day after announcing the speedy Blitz Royale, Epic has unveiled a second major game mode for Fortnite that’s dropping on June 18th. It’s called Lego Expeditions, and it’s a PvE option that looks sort of like a brick-infused take on Diablo.

After defining a new category with the original Switch, Nintendo is content sticking with what works.
It sure looks like Hank Hill is coming to Fortnite. If ever there was a time to add a new king of the hill mode, this is it.
You may have forgotten in the midst of the Switch 2 launch and multiple live gaming events, but a sequel to Death Stranding is hitting the PS5 on June 26th. This new trailer gives a pretty good rundown of what to expect.

It’s not easy to follow a game like Mario Kart 8, but Nintendo’s open-world racer does an admirable job.
The first season of Peacock’s Twisted Metal was one long intro to the vehicular death match tournament that’s at the heart of the series. This new clip for season 2 gives a sense of what that will look like in live-action. More importantly, it includes a first-look at an iconic character: Axel, a man imprisoned between two giant wheels.



Some quality time with Nintendo’s handheld shows a pleasant upgrade, as opposed to a dramatic next-gen shift.
The Playdate’s weirdest game, in which you flip through bizarro channels of an alternate reality cable network, is getting an enhanced version on PC and the Switch which adds... color. And presumably some more weirdo stuff. It’s launching later this year.
