    Yet another new Fortnite mode.

    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.

    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.

    Blippo Plus, now in color.

    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.
