Fortnite fans have expressed their disappointment in a new J Balvin Icons skin that simply uses an older skin's design and recolors it. Recolored skins in Fortnite are usually offered as optional styles, but the new one is a separate purchase and costs 1,500 V-Bucks.
What’s new in April 2024: 8 upcoming games to keep on your radar
01.04.2024 - 10:07 / digitaltrends.com / Harold Halibut / Emerald Beyond / Tomas Franzese / Nintendo
April 2024 will likely be one of the quieter months of the year in terms of new game releases, but it is also poised to be a very fulfilling one. Harold Halibut, a game over a decade in the making, will finally launch. Akira Toriyama’s underappreciated Sand Land will finally get a video game adaptation just over a month after its creator’s passing. RPG fans will be thriving with a new SaGa game and the long-awaited spiritual successor to Suikoden. It’s also quite a heavy re-release month, with remasters of Gigantic and Braid and multiplatform ports of two Xbox Game Studios titles also coming out.
In some ways, April’s release lineup is emblematic of 2024’s as a whole. Many of the games are a bit niche, but they will be extremely fulfilling for the players anticipating them. The following eight games are new releases, mostly coming in the back half of the month, that are worth looking out for in particular.
Children of the Sun (April 9)
Recommended if you like: Sniper Elite 5
Sniping video games are a surprisingly robust subset of the shooter genre thanks to series like Hitman, Sniper Elite, and Sniper: Ghost Warrior. Devolver Digital’s next game turns the basics of sniping on their head, though, as it lets players control the bullet after they fire it from their sniper rifle. Part shooter and part puzzle game, Children of the Sun is all about finding a way to take out all of the enemies in a level with a single sniper bullet.
Children of the Sun launches for PC on April 9, and a free demo of the game is available now if you want to get a feel for it.
Harold Halibut (April 16)
Recommended if you like: The Neverhood
Harold Halibut is an adventure game that has been in development for 10 years. It’s taken that long because claymation and photogrammetry played a significant role in the game’s development, giving Harold Halibut a distinct hand-crafted art style that few games have had since The Neverhood became a cult classic in the 1990s. Those who appreciate games with strong art direction, emotional narratives, and interesting adventure game puzzles will want to keep an eye on Harold Halibut when it comes out for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
A free demo of Harold Halibut is available on Steam right now, and the full game will be added to the Xbox Game Pass catalog the day it launches.
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (April 23)
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is the long-awaited spiritual successor to the Suikoden series — many of the developers who made that classic Konami franchise even worked on it. It’s an RPG with a beautiful pixel art visual style, a vast narrative, and over 100 recruitable characters. With the release of this and SaGa Emerald Beyond, this is a good month for the spirit of

15 Best Game Boy Advance Games Of All Time
The Game Boy Advance was a landmark achievement for Nintendo when it first released in 2001. As the successor to the wildly popular Game Boy Color, it had big shoes to fill, but its release heralded a few major design changes that would inform the future of Nintendo's handheld launches. Its adoption of a landscape presentation that moved buttons and the D-Pad to the side of the screen became stock for the release of the DS, 3DS, and Switch, and its backward compatibility helped push the notion that it was an evolution of a larger family of handhelds that would be worthy investments for years to come.
