With the number of players jumping into Apex Legends sky-rocketing, it’s only natural demand for new skins and unlockables to increase. It’s possible to earn new cosmetics simply by playing, but purchasing Apex Legends coins is a fast-track way to getting extras (although you’re not guaranteed to get what you want).

Apex Legends coins are only used to unlock cosmetics, characters and weapons – they do not provide any actual advantage in the game, so it’s not ‘pay-to-play’ via the currency.

Altered Carbon Season 2 Cast Revealed In Mysterious New Video

Netflix’s trippy, sci-fi series about putting consciousnesses into different bodies will be returning to the streaming service in the near future. Altered Carbon Season 2 is now in production.

In a recently released video, which you can see below, Netflix announced the cast for Season 2 and who they will be playing in the upcoming episodes. The short video gives nothing else away about Altered Carbon’s next run.

After a few clicks on the keyboard, the Psychasec inventory is opened, revealing the cast. Anthony Mackie (Captain America: Civil War) will play Takeshi Kovacs–played by Joel Kinnamon in Season 1–Simone Missick (Luke Cage) will play Trepp, Dina Shihabi (Jack Ryan) will play Dig 301, Torben Liebrecht will play Colonel Ivan Carrera, James Saito (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) will play Tanaseda Hideki, Renée Elise Goldsberry returns as Quellcrist Falconer, and Chris Conner returns as Poe.

Everything in the video looks pretty normal, up until Poe’s slide, where next to “Inventory” it reads “Error.” In all the rest of the cast slides, that read “Unavailable.” Additionally, instead of “Sleeve” and “Stack” above the actor and character’s names, it reads “A.I” for both sections on Poe. This should give a few clues away considering where Season 1 left off.

In GameSpot’s Season 1 review, Mike Rougeau said, “Altered Carbon never shies from examining exactly how an invention like the cortical stack would change our reality, and this future society appears far different from our own. Yet in many ways, it’s really exactly the same–which is more or less the prime directive of great science fiction.”

Season 2 of Altered Carbon is now in production with no set release date at this time.

Can Wolverine Survive in Space?

Wolverine’s healing factor allows him to survive numerous otherwise-lethal injuries. Over the years he’s been subjected to all manner of stabbings, shootings, and fiery explosions and merely shrugged them off. But is his healing factor enough to withstand the cold vacuum of space? What about a fiery reentry into Earth’s atmosphere? Marvel Comics’ Return of Wolverine #5 has just given us some answers.

Fortnite World Cup Offers $100 Million Prize Pool

Epic Games has announced the details of its Fortnite World Cup, including a whopping $100 million prize pool for the 2019 season. That chunk of money will be split among several prizes, with the largest single cash prize coming in at $3 million.

First, there will be 10 weekly Online Open qualifiers running from April 13 to June 16. Every week the company will distribute $1 million broadly among the top players. Then, the top 100 Solo players and top 50 Duos teams will take part in the World Cup Finals in New York City from July 26-28. That event will distribute $30 million. Each player will win at least $50,000 and the Solo World Champion will win $3 million. Plus, $1 million in weekly tournaments will continue through the end of the year.

Epic notes that to compete you need to be at least 13 years old, and players between 13-17 need a parent or guardian’s permission. Players also need to be in good standing without any violations on their current or previous accounts.

Recently Fortnite has gotten a new challenger in the battle royale space with the release of Apex Legends, which quickly grew an audience. Epic Games pointed out that Fortnite is still doing fine for itself too, setting a new record for peak concurrent players.

Still, Fortnite appears to be shoring up its defenses against the new challenger. With Season 8 approaching, Epic announced that you can earn the Battle Pass for free by taking part in Overtime challenges. That was interpreted as a sign that the company is attempting to retain its users by giving them a reason to put their time into Fortnite. A major tournament with tons of cash on the line could also help entice players to stick around.

Asus ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1660 Ti OC Review and Benchmarks

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

Nvidia has finally done it; released a Turing GPU without ray tracing and DLSS, and it’s aimed directly at the mainstream with an MSRP of $279. Asus sent us its flagship ROG Strix model, which has all the trimmings as well as a $50 premium, making it a $329 GPU. It’s based on an all-new chip not used in previous GPUs, for obvious reasons, and it’s targeting 1080p gamers with vintage GPUs looking to upgrade. There will not be a Founder’s Edition card, as this time around it’s just partner cards, and surprise – it should be available to purchase as you are reading this.

The sequel to the 90’s basketball Loony Tunes classic Space Jam has set a release date.

Space Jam 2 will be produced by Ryan Coogler, who also directed and wrote Black Panther and is on board for Black Panther 2.

Stellaris: Console Edition Review

If you asked me what traditionally PC-centric genre would be least likely to work with a gamepad, a complex grand strategy game of Stellaris’ breed would be near the top of the list. But much to my surprise, the team behind the Console Edition of Paradox’s space opera sandbox have managed to do a really admirable job translating the controls. Coming from the PC version, however, I can’t help but notice that they’ve ported a long out-of-date version of Stellaris that’s still full of major gameplay shortcomings that have been solved for a while now on that side of the fence – and man, is it hard to go back.

If you’ve never even looked at Stellaris before, there are plenty of reasons to get excited about Console Edition. It’s one of the most ambitious and innovative space 4X games to come out in the last decade. You’re given fine control over designing your empire’s government and primary species using a variety of flavorful and impactful trait choices, allowing you to be anything from an iron-fisted dictatorship of bloodthirsty turtles to a peaceful technocracy led by some sort of worm creature whose underlying biology I don’t even want to guess at. The portraits you can pick from include enough weird, memorable, and sometimes hilarious aliens to fill the Mos Eisley Cantina a few times over.
