Gears 5: Teases New Character And New Gun

Microsoft gave Gears 5 a solid chunk of its E3 2018 presentation, introducing the new lead character and laying the groundwork for the story threads that this installment will explore. Now that the game is known, the studio behind it is starting to tease some more fine details.

A tweet from the official Gears of War account shows off a fresh screenshot, featuring three of the gears, including a new one named Fahz Chutani (left). He's also holding a new version of the Lancer rifle, one of the series' most iconic weapons.

Gears 5 will star Kait Diaz in the leading role, taking center stage after her supporting role in Gears of War 4. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg told us that the abbreviated title (to simply "Gears 5") is "cleaner" and uses shorthand that the community had already been adopting for years. He also joked that it will save you a few characters on Twitter.

This was part of a trio of Gears games introduced during the Microsoft E3 showcase. The other two were a surprising kid-friendly mobile game called Gears Pop, and a slightly less but still surprising PC strategy game called Gears Tactics. Gears 5 was actually the most expected of the trio, but also the one fans have been pining for the most, so it was saved as the showstopper.

Fortnite: Challenges Are About To Get Much More Manageable

For Season 4 Battle Pass owners, Tuesdays are an exciting day in Fortnite. A new set of weekly challenges is released, and although you have the full season to complete them, players are eager to get them done and earn new rewards. That process is about to become a more pleasant one, thanks to one of several new quality-of-life changes coming soon. Epic Games has outlined many of the new features and changes that are slated for update 4.3 and beyond. One thing that is coming in 4.3 is challenge progress notifications. As you accomplish your objectives, a message will pop up during matches to let you know where you stand toward finishing a given challenge. Currently, you can only check on how you're doing with challenges in between matches from the main menu. You can also take mental notes (or physical ones, if you really want to get wild), but that becomes difficult when a bunch of challenges pile up. Was I supposed to get Eliminations in Tomato Tow...

Fortnite: New Close Encounters Mode Is Now Live After Being Disabled

Fortnite's latest limited-time mode has been temporarily postponed. Shortly after the Close Encounters event began, Epic Games announced on Twitter that an issue had been discovered and the mode was being disabled across all platforms--PS4, Xbox One, PC, and iOS--while the developer investigated it. Close Encounters was slated to be the second new limited-time mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale this week, following on the heels of Solid Gold v2, which began with the release of the 4.2 content update. In contrast to Solid Gold, Close Encounters mode focuses on "close quarters combat" and only features shotguns and the newly added jetpacks. Epic hasn't provided any further details on the unspecified issue it discovered in Close Encounters, only noting that the mode has been taken out of the rotation while it works to address the problem. Likewise, the developer didn't announce a time frame for when Close Encounters will return in the game. In the meantime, ...
