The Borderlands 3 new expansion, Revenge of the Cartel, has gone live. With the 80s flair of neon colors and an all-new arch nemesis, Revenge of the Cartel is bringing even more loot to the base game for a limited-time on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The new area will bring in never-before-seen enemy types, limited-time challenges, and new legendary loot. Players will need to complete a number of side-missions to unlock the new Villa Ultraviolet area.

Maurice will be adding some new, repeatable quests to his job board inside Sanctuary III, with each quest zeroing in on Cartel Operatives across the universe. Take enough of the Cartel members down and you’ll unlock Villa Ultraviolet and meet the Cartel crime boss Joey Ultraviolet.

There are 18 total limited-time in-game challenges to complete, with each giving out exclusive rewards on completion.

Borderlands 3 Revenge Of The Cartels Challenge Rewards:

• 3 Challenges: VECH-tor Graphics ECHO Device Skin
• 6 Challenges: Retro Outrunner Weapon Trinket
• 10 Challenges: Framed Firewall Room Decoration
• 14 Challenges: Hotline Pandora Vault Hunter Head
• 18 Challenges: Death by Filigrees Vault Hunter Skin

Revenge of the Cartel is free for players who own Borderlands 3 right now, with the event running until June 4.

The turnip trade has become a hot commodity in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, with players able to make millions in bells thanks to the community working together and opening their islands when they get a spicy price. Everyday people on Twitter are tweeting how much their stores are offering for turnips and opening their gates for anyone to come in and make some money, apparently including celebrities.

Once the call goes out online that an island is open with a high selling price on turnips people start to flock to these islands, lining up in front of the store in single file. One user, Jessa, posted on Twitter that her turnip prices were selling for 599 bells each, only to have Elijah Wood slide into her DMs.

Apparently, the Lord of the Rings star DMed her if he could have her Dodo Code in order to visit her island and sell his turnips. Once it was sent Woods flew over and joined Jessa and her friends who had gathered for the once in a lifetime event.

Woods was reportedly very kind, asking for permission to gather fruit, complimenting his host on their island decorating skills, and even posing for some photos with his fans. The Hollywood star was the ultimate island visitor, a role model for how people should act when visiting other islands.

Before leaving, Woods made sure to shout out Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is currently available on Nintendo Switch. For more on how you too can lure a celebrity to your island and make millions on the turnip market, head over to our turnip guide.

A new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone will release on April 28, Activision has announced. The update is coming to PS4 and Xbox One, and it’s a mandatory update, which means you must download it to keep playing.

After the update installs, players will then be asked to download “Data Pack 1” from the in-game menus. After this update is finished, players must quit and restart to keep playing.

Activision did not provide any details on what’s actually included in the Data Pack, but those details should become available soon. Activision did not say if this patch is also coming to PC.

The April 28 update will be just the latest update for Modern Warfare/Warzone, following a patch released on April 23 that fixed two major exploits.

In other news, players identified as potential cheaters are now being put into matches together so they can suffer their terribleness together.

Prison Architect is expanding on PC next month, with the Clear for Transfer expansion arriving–for free–on May 14. The expansion will give players more control over their prisons and “assign privileges to a security sector,” according to the press release. It will also introduce new customization options.

The expansion is based on player feedback, and is focused on giving players new ways to manage inmates and tailor their prison’s security.

Here are the key features listed by Paradox:

• Prisoner Transfers: Prisoners can now transfer between security sectors of your prison. Requirements for transfer to a lower-security sector are entirely up to you.
• Special Privileges: Privileges can be assigned based on the security sector, giving your prisoners a motivation to transfer. Prisoners in high security areas are able to see the privileges given to lower security sectors.
• Room Grading: You can now grade other rooms, such as yards, classrooms, common rooms, and a new gymnasium.
• Custom Security Sectors: Create areas with custom security sectors that can include prisoners from different security levels.
• New Actions and Enhancements: You can initiate actions like shakedowns, tunnel searches, and lockdowns by security sector.

Furthermore, Paradox has acquired the publishing rights to the console versions of the game on PS4, Switch, and Xbox One going forward. This means that all future expansions will come to consoles at around the same time as they come to PC–although console players will have to wait longer to delve into Clear for Transfer.

This suggests, of course, that more content will continue to come to Prison Architect in the future, so fans of the game–first released in 2015–have plenty to look forward to.

EA’s Origin Access has added three more games to the subscription service with Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus, AO Tennis 2, and Medal of Honor: Airborne.

The three games are split between the two-tiered system of Origin Access, with Premier and Basic subscription users having different levels of access to the Origin library of games. Medal of Honor will be available for Origin Access Basic subscribers, while Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus and AO Tennis 2 will be reserved for the Premier tier subscription users.

EA has been adding more games to the Origin Access library since the service launched, with EA offering some of their big titles like Battlefront II and Star Wars Jei: Fallen Order available to play on the service.

The Origin Access Basic tier is $4.99 a month, which comes with access to over 250 games, a 10% discount for the Origin Store, and access to trials for upcoming EA titles. The $14.99 Origin Access Premier tier includes the same perks, but with access to an even bigger array of games, including newly released EA titles, DLC, and expansions.

If you’re looking to play some games for free during this quarantine, PlayStation is also giving away two free games to promote the public staying home. If you don’t have a PS4, there are also a bunch of free games from Epic and Steam for PC.

Super Mega Baseball 3 has received a slight delay, but now has a firm release date. The game, originally announced for April, will come out on May 13, and developer Metalhead Software has released an in-depth video revealing the various ways the game has improved on its predecessors.

The biggest changes, the video promises, are to base stealing and pick-off mechanics. Base runners now take off immediately when you press the steal button, so timing your move against what the pitcher is doing matters more. If you’re pitching, you can perform a pick-off with a press of the D-Pad (to indicate which base you’re throwing to), and whether the player is safe or not will depend on whether they’ve pressed the steal button.

Player traits have been added too, and they’ll change how each individual plays. It might be that a pitcher’s accuracy drops over time, for instance, or a batter is better at a specific kind of shot. There’s also a new dynamic swing reticule, so players will have a better visualization of exactly where and how they’ll hit the ball.

New pitcher role types have been added, while fielders have also been reworked in line with feedback the developers got from the second game. You’ll be able to experience all of this across the game’s new Franchise mode, where you guide a team through multiple seasons.

Super Mega Baseball 3 will receive both a demo and a trial version, the latter of which will let you play unlimited games in the competitive online Pennant Race mode, which will keep the game’s online mode occupied during the launch period.

Super Mega Baseball 3 is coming to PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC, with cross-platform play. It will retail for $45.
