Nintendo has released an update to their Mario Maker 2 game, letting players get in on the action as legendary RPG hero Link.
The update brings Link as well as his iconic sword to the action, with players able to pull off butt stomps, use bombs, and even shoot enemies with your bow and arrow. The update also brings new enemies, P-blocks, frozen coins, and the dash block. A fully fleshed out option to use the Super Mario World game style is also included, letting your levels look like they belong on the Switch or Wii U versions of the platforming game.
One feature that didn’t get a lot of love in the press but will likely be popular is the addition of a speedrunning mode, which will let players get in on the crazy Kaizo style levels that are created, letting players see multiple instances of their characters that failed the level. For those unaware, Kaizo levels are developed to create a bunch of ways for players to die, and are extremely difficult to complete.

Minecraft has been around for nearly nine years, but a hotly sought after feature is finally on the way, as it was revealed that a character creator is finally coming to the game.
The feature is first coming to the Bedrock beta, which is available on Windows, Xbox One, and Android platforms. The creator will include more than 100 basic features for players to tweak their characters, including skin, hair, facial hair, body size, eyes, mouths, and more.
Players in the beta will get the first crack at the feature while developer Mojang will work out any kinks that pop up by interpreting data. If all goes as expected, players will get access to the creator within the full game at some point down the road. After the initial beta, it’s thought that the feature will go live on iOS and Nintendo Switch platforms.
The launch was announced in a blog post by Thomas Wiborgh, who serves as Head of Marketing at Mojang. In the post he wrote: "Using

Fortnite season 6 has dropped and it's easily one of the most exciting seasons we've seen so far. Here is a quick overview on everything that has been added in season 6.
First, let's start with the new map locations.
In season 6, four new locations have been added - corrupted areas, corn fields, and haunted castle. The fourth place is a large floating island that moves around the map. There are also other changes spread throughout the map.
The season 6 battle pass is also filled with 100 new cosmetic items and plenty of other rewards. There are two new evolving skins - one called Calamity and another called Dire.
Both advance as you level up your battle pass. The Dire skin is perhaps the best we’ve seen so far - you start off as an ordinary man but slowly turn into a wolf as the skin evolves.
There are of course many other great skins in the new battle pass, including the Nightshade pumpkin head skin.
Pets have been added to Fortnite, as well.

State of Decay 2 has just received a brand new DLC expansion. This new expansion adds a brand new game mode called Daybreak.
Daybreak is essentially a co-op zombie defense game mode. In Daybreak, up to four players must work together as they play elite soldiers equipped with high tier weapons.
Players must defend against waves of zombies as they wait for a technician to repair a satellite relay. That's not so important, but it provides a platform for the wave based chaos to be born upon.
There are a total of seven waves in each match of Daybreak. As you progress through each wave, the zombies become tougher and more numerous.
On top of the new Daybreak mode, a new zombie has been added. It's called the blood plague juggernaut. As the name suggests, this thing is huge. If you get hit by this thing, you'll be infected with the blood plague. More hits will make your infection meter rise quickly.
The new DLC also adds six new melee weapons, nine new ranged

While 343 Industries have been very quiet about their progress on Halo 6, we do now have some information on upcoming support for older Halo games.
It's now been confirmed that a total of four previous Halo titles will be added to the Xbox One's ever-growing backward compatibility list. All of the four titles were originally launched on Xbox 360.
The four titles include Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4, and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. It's essentially the same list of games that were originally bundled in the Master Chief Collection. All four games will have a campaign and multiplayer support. Players will even be able to set up LAN games between the Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
To make the news even sweeter, 343 Industries will be releasing all four games with all of their DLC. All previous downloadable content for the four titles will be made available for free, so long as players own the game, either in the digital or physical copy.
This will be a great opportunity

The latest Smuggler's Run update for GTA Online has now been out for just over a week. While the bulk of it, including a new adversary mode, and a number of new jets and planes have already been released, Rockstar has slowly trickled out more content over the past 10 days.
This week, the new Motor Wars adversary mode will now offer players double RP and double cash. The game mode is a play on the popular battle royale mode seen in games like Playerunknown's Battlegrounds.
In Motor Wars, players will drop from the sky and must find a weaponized vehicle spawn as quickly as possible. It's essentially battle royale but with vehicles.
A new T-shirt, the white Shrewsbury logo tee has also been given to players for free, and players can currently get 25% off all vehicle armor. This includes armor for the new air vehicles.
Both the Pegassi Reaper and the Progen Itali GTB are also 25% off for a limited time.

The new Rainbow Six Siege Operation Blood Orchid expansion is finally out for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
After a long wait, the latest expansion, which adds three new operators, a new map, and a large number of gameplay fixes and balancing changes, has gone live.
Ubisoft released a new trailer for the operation. During the trailer, the new map is showcased, alongside the three new operators.
As mentioned previously, the new map for Operation Blood Orchid is Theme Park. It's a spooky-themed nighttime map that's based on an abandoned theme park. The trailer also shows off Ying and Lesion, the two new operators from Hong Kong. The trailer ends by giving a sneak peek at the third operator, Ela.
Ela is a Polish operator that was originally planned for a now-axed Polish themed operation.
While the trailer does show the three new operators in action, it doesn't do much to showcase their new abilities. We've provided a quick overview of the new operators
