Month: March 2018

A new round of Event Quests will soon be available in Monster Hunter World on PS4 and Xbox One. Among the missions players will be able to take on this time is the Egg Lovers United quest, and it gives everyone the chance to add another very unusual headpiece to their wardrobe.

The quest kicks off tonight, March 29, at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET (12 AM UTC on March 30) and will be available in the rotation until April 12. It’s a six-star arena quest that requires a Hunter Rank of 11 or higher. The objective of this mission is seemingly straightforward, tasking players with hunting a Kulu-Ya-Ku.

Complete the quest enough times and players will earn materials to craft a Kulu-Ya-Ku helmet, which features an elongated neck and completely covers your hunter’s face, much like the popular Wiggler helm. This particular headpiece is a touch more unsettling, however, as it actually resembles the monster’s head much more closely than the Wiggler helm did. You can see it for yourself in the tweet above.

If you missed out on getting a Wiggler helm the first time around, the Wiggle Me This Event Quest will return to the rotation next week, giving you another opportunity to craft the helmet. Next week also marks the start of the Spring Blossom Fest, the first seasonal event in Monster Hunter World. That will feature daily activities and other special Event Quests, including one for the Mega Man Palico armor.

You can find the full Event Quest schedule for Monster Hunter World on its official website. Capcom recently released a big update for the game, introducing the returning monster Deviljho along with some balance adjustments to nearly every weapon type. Players also had a chance to hunt Tempered Deviljho recently as part of a very short-lived Event Quest, but that will return to the game sometime during the Spring Blossom Fest.

The trailer has arrived and the anticipation for a new season of Westworld has reached a fever pitch. HBO has released the best look yet at the new season (as well as another secret video), which reveals so much, while also conjuring up dozens of new questions about what fans of the series are going to see when it arrives.

The clip runs over two-and-a-half minutes and makes it clear that the robot uprising has arrived and nothing will ever be the same in this world. While it seems as though Westworld will still be flashing back to the conversations between Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) and Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) before either of them realized they were artificial intelligence, so much of the trailer is set after the events of Season 1.

Dolores and Teddy (James Marsden) are traveling the west and killing humans along the way–although Teddy doesn’t seem as fond of it as his robotic love. Maeve (Thandie Newton) is in search of her daughter, and everyone else is simply trying to survive as the bodies pile up. “Up until this point the stakes were never real,” the man in black (Ed Harris) says. “But now, you and the rest of your kind are free.”

One of the most intriguing moments of the trailer, outside of the glimpses at Shogun world, is seeing William (Jimmi Simpson), before he became the man in black, going to see Dolores in the Delos labs. The look on his face isn’t entirely friendly but looks to be more plotting than anything else. Perhaps this is the moment he makes the change from the lovesick guy who has feelings for a robot to the heartless monster that caused so much chaos in the first season.

Whatever the case, there is no denying who’s in control now and it’s the hosts. “Here we are, the kind that will never know death and yet we’re fighting to live,” Dolores tells Bernard. “There is beauty in what we are.”

Westworld returns to HBO on April 22.

You’ve likely watched the new Westworld trailer a dozen times at this point, looking for hidden messages. Well, look no further because someone on Reddit has found the secrets.

As it turns out, there’s a hidden binary code found in a single shot of the trailer, which Reddit user TheOracleOW quickly found and decoded. The result is a link to a hidden page on the Delos website, which is a commercial for the company and its theme parks–specifically Westworld. As things with this show tend to do, though, the technology is buggy and some truly haunting imagery can be seen.

Among the things seen in his hidden video are Delos founder James Delos (Peter Mullan), who will be introduced in Season 2, cutting up his own face, a man with a noose around his neck awaiting a hanging, and a look at train tracks in which humans–or hosts–have replaced the wooden beams that serve as foundations.

Naturally, since Westworld likes to string along its viewers, the fun doesn’t end there. The end of the video flashes the word “XOMEGACH” on the screen. From there, you have to visit the Delos website. If you click login and enter XOMEGACH, you are taken to another hidden website, which includes a video with the directive “Find Peter Abernathy.”

Fans should remember is the name of Dolores’s (Evan Rachel Wood) father, played by both Louis Herthum and Bradford Tatum in Season 1. How he fits into this is anybody’s guess, but clearly, Westworld isn’t done with Peter Abernathy yet. However, that’s as far as the rabbit hole does at this point.

Westworld returns to HBO on April 22.
