Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s first post-launch season is kicking off imminently, bringing with it a new playable character in the form of The Joker, in addition to new weapons, gear, missions, adjustments to the existing content, and more. It will, of course, also go hand-in-hand with a new battle pass, full details for which have now been unveiled by developer Rocksteady Studios.
Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 Adds Greek Gods, New Powers, and an Avatar Collaboration

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 2 adds an Ancient Greece theme to the online shooter, with new skins for the various Gods like Zeus, weapons, powers like the Wings of Icarus, as well as another collaboration with Nickelodeon. Part of the appeal of Fortnite is the fact that the game is always evolving, with new seasons introducing big new mechanics as well as new gameplay components. However, for many fans, Chapter 5 Season 1's biggest contributions were the arrival of Rocket Racing and LEGO Fortnite, modes that gave fans a completely fresh way to play.
In the past few weeks, there have been no shortage of Fortnite related teases and leaks about what Season 2 would ultimately bring, so it's unlikely that there was much surprise related to the Ancient Greece-themed season once it was revealed. Epic even teased the coming season with an in-game event featuring Pandora's Box held up by a massive Titan hand. Surprisingly, once the box opened, players gained the ability to build within Zero Mode. Either way, the Greek-themed season is now here, and it brings with it tons of new content.
As expected, the reveal trailer and accompanying blog post from Epic Games has revealed a ton of new details for Chapter 5, Season 2, including the arrival of new map destinations like Brawler's Battleground, Mount Olympus, and The Underworld. Of course, new weapons have been added to the loot pool, like the Gatekeeper Shotgun, though many fans will likely flock to new abilities such as the Thunderbolt of Zeus, which shoots players into the sky to throw bolts of lightning down upon their enemies. Similarly, players can acquire the Wings of Icarus to allow them to not only fly, but divebomb enemies from above. As is in the myth, if players use the wings for too long, they'll burn up completely, so players will need to manage that.
The Battle Pass also gives players a chance to unlock the Grecian Gods and monsters as well, with cosmetic skins for Zeus, Aphrodite, a Slurp version of Poseidon, Medusa, Cerberus, Artemis, and Hades. Many weapons from Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 are also returning, and players have two additional weapon mods to play with in the Thermal Scope and Speedgrip.
While Epic Games teamed up with Nickelodeon on a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event in Season 1, the two companies have partnered up again for Season 2 by bringing Avatar Korra from the Last Airbender franchise into Fortnite. Sporting a similar visual style to the other animated skins, Korra was surrounded by a ring of water to help power her waterbending attacks. Unfortunately, not much else is known about what she can do, though with her arrival confirmed for later this season, fans likely won't be hearing much else until her launch approaches.

Pokemon-Like Cassette Beasts is Adding Major New Multiplayer Features and More
The Pokemon-style RPG Cassette Beasts is getting a major new update, adding online multiplayer and a host of other interesting features later this year. UK-based developer Bytten Studio and prolific indie publisher Raw Fury released Cassette Beasts on Windows and Linux computers last April, with a wider launch on Xbox systems and the Nintendo Switch the following month.
