Niantic has added a fresh PokeStop to Pokemon GO in a remote region of Antarctica, meaning the vast majority of the game's players will never even have the chance to use it. PokeStops are an integral part of the Pokemon GO experience. They give gamers the chance to collect some helpful free items for their Pokemon-catching adventures, plus there are other game mechanics tied to them as well.

Niantic is teasing a major Pokemon GO update that will help players «rediscover» the popular mobile title. Pokemon GO is expected to receive multiple updates leading into the Pokemon GO Fest 2024 event, which will begin on May 30.

A recent Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed a new break damage type that will be exclusive to Harmony Trailblazer. Break damage in Honkai: Star Rail takes effect upon breaking the enemy's toughness meter.

Briefly, the higher the break effect stat characters have, the more break damage they will dish out.

Minecraft Bedrock Edition has added five new paintings as part of preview 1.21.0.21, and one of them has a clever reference to a famous real-life painting.

Update: EA have now denied Grubb's claims that the Dead Space 2 remake was in development before being effectively cancelled, telling IGN: "We don't normally comment on rumors but there is no validity to this story."

Today is Tuesday, statistically the day of the week least rife with wacky hijinks, whimsical calamity, or even, dare I say, madcap antics. However, if you want to buck tradition, you could do worse than playing What the Car?, the upcoming absurdist physics game from What the Golf? and What the Bat? devs Triband. You can do it right now, actually. It’s just gotten a free demo on Steam, alongside a proper release date of September 5th 2024. Don’t do it if you’re actually driving, though. That’d be lunacy. We only promote the fun kind of lunacy here, like the type shown off in What the Car?’s trailer at the Triple-i initiative.
