Family Guy, Doom and Darth Vader Seemingly Leaked for Fortnite
Earlier today Epic Games revealed a lot of their upcoming Unreal Engine 5. Many of its games, along with a new announcement for Tomb Raider, were made. Fortnite being one of them. One eagle-eyed user was able to spot a number of upcoming skins that will be making their way into the game, and it seems like Family Guy will be making an appearance alongside Doom and Darth Vader. Twitter user Polaq was able to zoom in on some of the files Epic Games themselves presented during the show, and you can clearly see all three skins labeled C3S3, meaning Chapter 3 season 3, or next season. Currently, they are in Season 2, and season 3 would release near the end of May beginning of June. Darth Vader has been a skin requested for a while, but it’s safe to say nobody thought Peter Griffin would possibly make an appearance. Even still, something about Doom Guy zipping around the island has me even more excited. You can see the post below. Let us know what you think about these skins and which one you would use first.
Next Tomb Raider Game Announced, Being Developed in Unreal Engine 5
Crystal Dynamics today announced that they have just begun working on the next game in the Tomb Raider franchise. It was confirmed by the developer today as part of the Epic Games presentation on the reveal of Unreal Engine 5. The announcement, which you can see below, stated that “This new engine translates to next-level storytelling and gameplay experiences, and that’s why we’re thrilled to announce today that we’ve just started development of our next Tomb Raider game, powered by Unreal Engine 5. “Our goal is to push the envelope of fidelity and to deliver the high-quality cinematic action-adventure experience that fans deserve from both Crystal Dynamics and the Tomb Raider franchise. We can’t wait to take this journey together.” The last game of the franchise, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, was passed off to Eidos Montreal as Crystal was working on Marvel’s Avengers. As poorly reviewed as that game has been, Crystal is also working on the Perfect Dark reboot with Microsoft. We’ll have to see exactly where this game picks up on the events of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, or if it will go in a separate direction. Either way, with development being announced as just begun, I don’t see any further updates for a while. Tomb Raider is one of the classic franchises that date back over 20 years. Lara Croft is an iconic character. Unreal Engine 5 is going to do wonders for the game, as it will only accentuate the emotional facial features Lara is known for presenting. We’ll keep you updated on developments as they are announced.

Here is Every Level Challenge in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and How to Earn It
One of the new additions in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is level challenges. They are available in each of the game’s nine playable film levels. Each of the films is broken down into five different levels with three challenges in each for a total of 135 different challenges. There are a ton of varieties in these challenges such as completing a level without dying, completing a level in a certain time limit, force throw a certain number of items, etc. Completing these challenges will earn you one of the game’s 1,166 listed Kyber bricks (gold bricks in previous games). You’ll need to complete all three challenges in the level to earn the brick, which makes it even more difficult. What makes it harder is that you don’t know what the challenges are at the beginning of the level as they are all locked. You’ll need to use studs to unlock what are called “rumors” in order to get the clue. Of course, once you complete the level you will be able to see what they are for all future re-visits to the level. To save you the time, we put together a list of each challenge in the levels and how to unlock them via their corresponding rumor. Hopefully, this helps you all out. Check them out below.

Hello There! LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Launch Trailer Forces Its Way Onto Your Screen
Today’s the day everyone! LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has launched after years of development. It’s the biggest game in the franchise by far as it lets you explore 23 separate planets and all nine of the films. So much has been added to the game that it feels a bit overwhelming. It took a little bit to get used to as I’m not used to this much content in a LEGO game. Those like me who will end up completing the game will need to put in some work as there are 1,166 bricks to collect in addition to the currently listed number of 380 characters. “LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the ultimate video game experience that allows generations to play together in the galaxy far, far away,” said Douglas Reilly, Vice President, Lucasfilm Games. “Players can explore all nine films from the Skywalker saga, bringing a whole new level of fun and humor to the greatest LEGO Star Wars adventure yet.” Each level also has three specific challenges to complete. It’s a first for the franchise, and all three will need to be completed in order to earn an extra brick. Characters have skill trees to earn new abilities, there are different character classes and much more! Our review will be up soon, so be sure to check out Becca’s take on it as soon as it’s up. Check out the trailer below.

It was later on where Nintendo went on to reveal the late March release date for Kirby and the Forgotten Land that the wait would not be long for the game’s release. But, there is more Kirby in the headlines than players might have anticipate this past weekend. In actuality, the character surprised many over at the Grammys.
