While we’re still diving into Pokémon Legends: Arceus in order to discover its many, many secrets, players have already figured out that one of the best ways to catch shiny Pokémon in the new game is to utilize the advantages of the Mass Outbreak mechanic. Mass Outbreak is a fairly new term for the Pokémon franchise, but it’s really just an evolution (pun intended) of similar ideas we’ve seen in previous Pokémon titles....
Seedot is one of the more unique Pokémon designs out there. It takes the simple idea of an acorn Grass-type and turns it into a wicked Grass/Dark-type. That type combo wasn’t used too often before Pokémon Sword & Shield, where it will soon be the type of the new Mythical Pokémon Zarude. As for what Seedot’s final evolution – Shiftry – is, it’s based on a wicked Japanese mythological being called a tengu....
Looking for your Sawk? Here’s where to find one in Pokémon Sword & Shield. Where Throh is all about judo, Sawk is all about karate, the ancient Japanese martial art (that was heavily influenced by Chinese Kung Fu, but this isn’t going to be a history lesson). Throh likes to… well, throw, while Sawk likes to strike with hands, feet, and elbows. You can see this represented both in the anime as well as in Sawk’s movelist, where punches and kicks are the most frequent words that pop up....
Type: Null is one of those bizarre manmade Pokémon. It was created by the Aether Foundation in Sun & Moon. Then Gladion broke it out of the lab and made it his partner. So how is such a one-of-a-kind experiment in Sword & Shield’s Galar region? Apparently someone stole Aether research and recreated the project. That means you can add it to your Gen VII team. Where To Find Type: Null In Sword & Shield As a lab-grown Pokémon, Type: Null isn’t in the wild....
Pokemon GO’s Ultra Bonus rewards have a ton of great value for trainers to take advantage of in the coming weeks. In addition to increased Kanto spawns and region exclusives appearing in 7km eggs, there will also be another chance to battle the Legendary bird trio and Mewtwo in upcoming Raids. That’s a lot of different strengths and weaknesses to keep track of, but luckily the Pokemon GO community has delivered yet again with a simple and easy to read visual guide to make the raiding experience go as smoothly as possible....
There isn’t much time left for players to participate in Pokemon GO’s Unova Celebration Event. In order to make the most of it, players can take on the Unova Collection Challenge, where they will be asked to catch various Pokemon from the Unova region. While certain Pokemon spawning for the Unova Collection Challenge may be easy to find in Pokemon GO, others aren’t as easy. One of these is Ferroseed, a dual Grass and Steel-type Pokemon that evolves into Ferrothorn....
Fans of Pac-Man around the world will be happy to know that Pac-Man Geo, now available for free through the App Store and Google Play, brings all the ghost chasing action to a street near them.

Get your battle roster ready and prepare to defend your town, trainers. Team GO Rocket is here....
For the first time in a year, Pokemon Go is set to bring back a familiar starter when Community Day begins this April. This time is the turn of Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokemon, and the first of the Unova region starters to show up on such an occasion. Snivy will be right at the centre of this year’s Community Day when it drops next month, acting as the first new starter showcased in more than a year (the last one was Piplup in January 2020)....

The Brazilian Advisory Rating Board releases a rating for Quantum Break on both PC and Xbox One, suggesting that the game may not be a pure Xbox One exclusive after all. Microsoft is hailing 2016 as the year of new IP for Xbox One, but it’s starting to look like one of the system’s biggest new IP may be heading to PC as well. The Brazilian Advisory Rating Board is now listing Remedy Entertainment’s Quantum Break for both the Xbox One and PC, suggesting that it’s not quite as “exclusive” as Xbox fans may have hoped....
Ubisoft reveals details about Operation Skull Rain, the upcoming Brazil-based expansion pack for Rainbow Six Siege that adds two new operators and a new map. August is almost here, and that means it was due time for Ubisoft to reveal the next round of content for Rainbow Six Siege.

Ranters, welcome back to Game Rant’s weekly look at The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and all its modding goodness! This week, we askew function for the most part and focus on aesthetics and convenience. Gleaming Falls is a modest town/player home halfway between Whiterun and Windhelm that is situated beneath a peaceful waterfall. Riverwood House, while not overly beautiful, is incredibly convenient for new players who need a place to store their ill-gotten (or legitimately gotten) goods before having enough gold to by Breezehome....
Red Dead Online is giving out free items and discounting others this weekend for players. As a matter of fact, Red Dead Online players can grab some free gold just for playing. Red Dead Online is an action-adventure online game with a Wild West theme. It’s one of several Red Dead games by Rockstar Games, and it comes with the single-player game Red Dead Redemption 2. The developer, Rockstar Games, is probably best know for its work on the GTA series, and lately its generous donations to help with the Coronavirus outbreak....
Red Dead Redemption 2 has a lot going for it - it has a bustling online mode that continues to get updates and DLC, its single-player campaign has been lauded in the gaming industry, and it has sold over 29 million copies as of February. Clearly, Rockstar Games is doing just fine in maintaining Red Dead Redemption 2, which would be good news under most circumstances. However, because Rockstar isn’t planning on making single-player DLC anymore (for the time being), many are still upset that they’ll likely not see another story DLC pack as glorious as Undead Nightmare....
The recently surfaced image of the Red Dead Redemption: The Outlaws Collection may have given fans hope, but now that is all falling apart. While the image implies the existence of a Red Dead Redemption remake, bundled with a next-gen port of Red Dead Redemption 2, it is all very likely fake. While Rockstar Games never confirmed or denied these rumors, a new image surfaced that cited the existence of a Red Dead Redemption: The Outlaws Collection for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S....
They say good fences make good neighbors, so one Reddit user imagined a world where you can build fence gates in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. There’s a lot of stuff in New Horizons, from boutique furniture to giant robot statues, but there’s an odd thing missing from Animal Crossing’s vast DIY library: fence gates. Sure, there are fences, but there are no convenient gates that would allow easy access through a fence....
Atlus West has released a video of the English voice cast of Persona 5 Strikers reacting to the first announcement trailer for the game.

Check out what they had to say about the Announcement Trailer....
Persona has always had its fanbase, but it wasn’t until Joker and the Phantom Thieves that it hit its full stride in the western hemisphere. Now, it’s more popular than ever, but that itself presents a big problem: how can Persona 6 top Persona 5? It’s an age-old question for sequels, especially given the trend that sequels do not do as well as their predecessors. In short, Persona 6 has an Elder Scrolls 6 problem....
