Fortnite Overtime Challenges: How To Get Free Battle Pass For Season 8

Fortnite‘s weekly challenges for Season 7 are over and the game is now preparing to make the transition to Season 8. However, that doesn’t mean there are no challenges to undertake at all–quite the opposite in fact. Developer Epic is keeping the train rolling with the Overtime Challenges, which begin today, February 14, and unlock every three days up until February 23. In an unexpected twist, however, completing these challenges not only nets you experience and the odd cosmetic unlock, but also a free Season 8 Battle Pass.

To get the new Battle Pass at no cost you just need to complete 13 of the Overtime Challenges, the first set of which are available now. The initial batch ask the player to collect coins in the Creative Islands, seek out ammo boxes or treasure chests, and drop onto the island as a duo and place in the top 15. As you complete the challenges, you’ll also unlock skins from Fortnite Season 7 at the five, 10, and 15 challenge mark. You can see the full list of challenges below.

Fortnite Overtime Challenges

Collect Coins in Featured Creative Islands (15) — 500 XP
Search chest or ammo boxes at a motel or an RV park (7) — 500
Place Top 15 in Duos with a friend (3) — Wrap

Epic has also released update 7.40 for Fornite and the full patch notes alongside it. The Valentine’s Day event is one of the big new additions introduced in the update, but there’s also a new weapon, and the ability to gift an item. You can read the full list of changes, tweaks, and additions in the Fortnite update 7.40 patch notes.

It is expected that Season 7 of Fortnite will end on February 28, so you’ve got a little more time to complete any outstanding challenges. If you need a hand, check out our comprehensive Fortnite Season 7 challenges roundup, which collects all our tips and guides into one, convenient location.

Given that the Overtime Challenges will be available until February 27, we expect Season 8 will begin on February 28. Before that, however, Epic is expected to hold two double XP weekends; the first is set for February 15-17, while the second takes place February 22-24.

You’ve Never Seen Anything Like Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots on TV

Netflix’s latest anthology, Love, Death & Robots, is like nothing you’ve seen before – by design.

The project hails from the devious minds of Deadpool director Tim Miller and Mindhunter’s David Fincher, who are executive producing the endeavor, but each of the 18 animated shorts (which are definitely NSFW) is created by different teams of animation filmmakers from around the world, including Hungary, France, Canada, and Korea, among others.

As you might be able to tell from our first look at the trailer, the shorts span numerous genres – blending science fiction, fantasy, horror, and comedy – as well as utilizing various animation styles, from traditional 2D to photo-real 3D CGI, creating what looks like a surreal, scary, and sexy fever dream that would probably make Philip K. Dick wake up in a cold sweat.

The 13 Most Romantic Horror Movies

It’s hard to find great horror movies that are also great love stories, because for the most part, those things are polar opposites. Many of the greatest and scariest horror movies ever made are all about ripping people who care about each other apart, literally and figuratively. The Shining may be terrifying but it’s hardly a comforting date movie, if you catch the drift.

But that doesn’t mean that horror movies can’t also be romantic; it’s just that they sometimes have to be romantic in unexpected ways. Tales of ghosts and demons who fall for mortal men and women have a tragic undercurrent but they’re often very sincere, and many of the most horrifying monsters ever conceived have a heart if you know where to look for it (and aren’t trying to shove a wooden stake in there).

Star Wars: Rian Johnson Confirms He’s ‘Still Working’ on New Trilogy

Following rumors circulating that Rian Johnson had abandoned the Star Wars franchise, Johnson himself chimed in on Twitter to confirm the rumors are false, according to Screen Rant.

No it isn’t true, I’m still working on the trilogy. With all due respect to the movie bros, who I’m sure are lovely kind bros with good fraternal intentions.

Anthem Short Film From District 9 Director Is Very Evocative

A live-action Anthem story short from Neill Blomkamp, director of District 9, Chappie, and Elysium, has been released. Titled ‘Conviction,’ the three-minute video is set in the world of BioWare’s upcoming action game, but decades before the game’s own story. It is narrated by a female character, who recounts the history of humanity, its enslavement, fight for freedom, and efforts to rebuild as it struggles for survival.

Freelancers–the Javelin-wearing characters that players take control of in the game–are shown to have discovered a mysterious woman in the jungles. However, her discovery ignites a new conflict, with lines being crossed, betrayals, and explosive battles. “The Anthem swims through your mind, it knows you, it knows us all,” she says.

While the details of the story are vague, perhaps purposefully so, the short does a good job of depicting the world of Anthem and teasing some of the sci-fi intrigue that BioWare will no doubt further explore in the game’s narrative. Check it out above.

Blomkamp’s ability to realize sci-fi worlds and tell stories within them is on show in the short, even if it is a bit brief. The director has some history with video games, having previously been attached to a Halo movie adaptation. The Javelins look especially cool, which is making us pine for the Halo movie he may have once created.

Anthem, meanwhile, is set to launch on February 22. However, those with an EA or Origin Access membership will be able to play from February 15. Ahead of its release, BioWare shared an update roadmap and endgame details to give players an idea of what they’ll be able to experience beyond the main campaign.

EA is expecting BioWare’s newest game to sell as many as 6 million copies by March, and CFO Blake Jorgensen said the company is confident that the game will reach these numbers based on the popularity of the game’s VIP and open demos. However, it will also face heavy competition from Fortnite, which is as popular as ever, Apex Legends, another EA title which launched for free and has already reached 10 million unique users, and Ubisoft’s The Division 2, which delivers a similar games as a service experience.

Hollow Knight sequel announced for PC and Nintendo Switch

Hollow Knight developer, Team Cherry, has announced a full-scale sequel to Hollow Knight called Hollow Knight: Silksong.

“Almost from the very start, Hornet’s adventure was intended to take place in a new land, but as we dove in, it quickly became too large and too unique to stay a DLC, as initially planned. We do know that makes the wait a little longer, but we think the final, fresh world you’ll get to explore is worth it,” Team Cherry’s post reads.

The game will be releasing on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch at launch. Team Cherry said that more platforms may be added in the future.
