Assassin's Creed Shadows Tips Galore And More Of The Week's Best Gaming Pointers

Yahoo31-03-2025
Whether you want to know how to use Assassin's Creed Shadows' level scaling to your advantage, get rich quick in feudal Japan, or make your hideout as pretty as it can be, we've got the tips for you this week. In addition to that, we'll also help you get started in Atomfall and tell you what to expect out of AI Limit, so read on.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is an open-world RPG through and through, complete with stats to level up and progressively more powerful gear to find. As you might expect, it employs a level scaling system, where the enemies and quests you encounter get stronger as you do. That is to say, if you're level five, the enemies around you will be level five. When you reach level six, the enemies will turn into level six enemies. Easy, right? - Timothy Monbleau Read More
You'd be entirely forgiven for thinking that the Projects screen in Assassin's Creed Shadows is just a Battle Pass system. The gradual drip feed of rewards presented in a straight line evokes strong déjà vu of countless live service and free-to-play games like Fortnite or Genshin Impact. Additionally, Assassin's Creed Shadows has microtransactions, so you might (reasonably) fear that Projects exist just to separate your cash from your wallet. Fortunately, while Projects are similar to Battle Passes in form, they differ a bit in function. - Timothy Monbleau Read More
While it's completely viable to cut down your foes solely via stealthy assassinations and brute-force katana strikes as either Naoe or Yasuke, leveling up and investing in additional abilities makes combat far more enticing. You can Spartan kick your enemies as Yasuke and lurch forward in a lightning-quick strike as Naoe. But such skills require you to spend time earning XP to invest Mastery Points. But how can you do so in the most efficient, and quickest, ways? - Brandon Morgan Read More
I've heard tales of people willingly and happily spending an hour or two—sometimes even three or more—in a game's character creator. Folks craft celebrity lookalikes, themselves, and their ideal vision of the perfect hero. Personally, I'm in and out in five minutes, ready to play. But what happens if you speed through that process with your character and then find it's subpar in gameplay? Fortunately, Monster Hunter Wilds won't shoulder you with buyer's remorse given its various settings for tweaking your character's style. - Brandon Morgan Read More
When I first discovered the ornament vendor in Assassin's Creed Shadows—the kindly woman selling decorations and customization options for the hideout—I had a feeling I'd end up spending tons of Mon decking out my dojo. Well, that assumption was correct. Many thousands of Mon later, I was rolling in rocks, trees, and roofing materials. But I was out of money. So I had to find some new strats to keep the cash flowing. - Brandon Morgan Read More
There is an abundance of soulslike titles these days, giving fans of the brutal genre plenty of options for where to spend their time exploring, making builds, and taking down extremely challenging bosses. If you're an anime enthusiast as well, you may have had your eye on AI Limit, which costs only $35. This may leave you wondering how long of a journey the game offers and whether it's worth investing in. So let's get into it. - Billy Givens Read More
To level your skills up in Atomfall, you'll need to find Training Stimulants. And while you'll have a solid selection of skills you can buy early on, you can add additional skills to your repertoire by finding manuals out in the world. But which to choose first? - Billy Givens Read More
There have been quite a few games over the years that examine the fallout of a nuclear event, but developer Rebellion's new title Atomfall distinguishes itself by using a real-life accident as the basis for its tale. Taking place in an alternate reality following the Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957, this UK-based survival-action experience provides a large open-world experience with plenty to do and see in a radioactive England. Here's how long it'll take you to see what Atomfall has to offer. - Billy Givens Read More
Customization is one of my favorite parts of just about any video game, followed closely by base-building elements. Assassin's Creed Shadows features both, and you can even customize your base—otherwise known as your hideout—with cherry blossom trees, deer statues, intricate pathways, and so much more. Unfortunately, it'll cost you. Who knew interior and exterior decorating would be such a lucrative market in Feudal Japan?! - Brandon Morgan Read More
If you're just diving into Atomfall, you should know this survival title is designed to test your skills and patience (in a good way). With danger lurking around every corner and extremely limited resources at your disposal, you'll want to approach every moment with caution and planning. Before you set off on your journey in Atomfall, here are three tips to keep in mind that can help improve your chances at survival. - Billy Givens Read More

THE POWER RANGERS Just Made Their Live-Action Comeback... in a FORTNITE Ad?! — GeekTyrant

The Power Rangers franchise has been pretty quiet lately. After the nostalgic punch of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Once and Always and the finale of Cosmic Fury , the future of the Rangers felt like it was up in the air. With reboot rumors stalling, Hasbro auctioning off pieces of the franchise, and even AI-upscaled episodes floating around, fans have been waiting for signs of life from the legendary team. And now we've got one, though not in the way anyone expected. The first new live-action Power Rangers content in nearly two years has arrived... as a Fortnite commercial. Epic Games just revealed the next season of Fortnite , titled 'Shock 'N Awesome,' and it's set to drop August 7. The theme is a full-blown alien bug invasion straight out of Starship Troopers . But players won't be facing this threat alone, because the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers are suiting up to join the battle. The Red, Yellow, and Blue Rangers make their entrance in a full-blown live-action trailer, teaming up with familiar Fortnite faces to blast giant alien bugs with miniguns and pyrotechnics, and it's set to a thumping remix of the iconic Mighty Morphin theme song. It's packed with '90s nostalgia. And while it's undeniably fun, it's also kind of wild that this is the first live-action Power Rangers anything we've seen since 2023. The full Power Rangers skin bundle, featuring all five core team members and themed accessories, including that remixed theme track, will be available in the Fortnite store later in August. As for Green Ranger fans, Tommy Oliver is set to appear in the season's battle pass. Then, from September 16, players who complete seasonal quests can unlock a Dino Megazord skin as part of a midseason event. The Power Rangers are officially back in action... in the most unexpected way possible. Live-action, laser-blasting, and now fully digital. Welcome to 2025.

The First New Live-Action ‘Power Rangers' Material In Years Is… a Fortnite Ad

When celebrations for Power Rangers' 30th anniversary wrapped up a few years ago with the release of Once and Always and the conclusion of Cosmic Fury, the franchise's future was left in doubt. Rumored reboots stalled, Hasbro picked apart the series' legacy at auction and through AI-enhanced MMPR rereleases—even with the news that Disney would once again become the home of a new era of Power Rangers earlier this year, right now the series' live-action form has felt dormant. That is, until today, in a very peculiar way. This morning Epic Games unveiled the next season of Fortnite, 'Shock 'N Awesome', which is set to come to the battle royale shooter at the end of this week. Bringing a Starship Troopers-esque insectoid invasion to the game's island setting, it seems like players are going to have to contend with more than just each other whenever they drop from the battle bus… but they won't be alone. Well, for a price. The first major collaboration confirmed for the new season today is with Power Rangers, which will bring the Mighty Morphin' team (who else would it be?) to the game. And do so in style, as Epic confirmed the crossover in the only way it could: a '90s-nostalgia-bomb live-action trailer that sees the Red, Yellow, and Blue Rangers team up with some familiar Fortnite faces to battle some bugs. The trailer itself is great, but it is kind of ludicrous that the first official live-action Power Rangers material we've seen since 2023 at this point is for a Fortnite ad. A small price to pay to watch Jason (or Rocky!) spin a minigun around blasting giant bugs with pyrotechnic effects while a remix of the Mighty Morphin' theme blares in the background, I suppose. A presumably less-small price is what you'll be paying to play as the Power Rangers in Fortnite. They won't immediately drop in-game when 'Shock N' Awesome' releases this week (although it appears that Tommy Oliver as the Green Ranger will be part of the season's battle pass, at least), but they will be available in the Fortnite store from mid-August, according to Epic, as a skin bundle of all five primary Rangers, as well as extra accessories, including a music track for the new theme remix that can be used in Fortnite Festival and other areas of the game. They're not the only Power Rangers additions to the new season, however. Owners of the new seasonal battle pass will be able to do quests to unlock a Dino Megazord skin from September 16, tying into a midseason event that will let players 'power up' as the Megazord—presumably similar to how the game's recent collaboration with Godzilla played out, letting players stomp around the island. Fortnite's new season will launch August 7. Want more io9 news?

‘Fortnite' Chapter 6, Season 4 Trailer Reveals Power Rangers, Megazord

In Fortnite's eternal quest to continue smacking action figures together, we're starting to get official previews of the upcoming Chapter 6, Season 4, which we now know is called 'Shock and Awesome' and features a map-wide bug invasion. After a recent reveal that female Halo Spartans are coming to the game, a first since Master Chief showed up in 2020, new promos, including a new trailer, have started that feature another franchise, Power Rangers. Because why not? The new key art, seen above, shows off Tommy Oliver's Green Ranger, along with what appears to be a giant Megazord looming behind everything. That's supposed to be something that launches later in the season on September 16. In mid-August, there will be a 'Mighty Morphin'' bundle featuring the Red, Black, Pink, Yellow and Blue rangers. Curious how much that will be, or if those are being treated like alt styles for one skin. I think I probably know the answer to that. Here's a new trailer for all this: FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder So far as we know, the Halo Spartan will be the Tier 1 battle pass skin, and then Green Ranger will be in the battle pass as well, likely near or at the top, as tends to happen with crossovers. You have absolutely no idea how many Power Rangers movies and shows there have been over the years. I'm old enough to have watched the original, but this series never, ever went away. We are at thirty different Power Rangers projects since 1994 which include the likes of: Zeo, Turbo, Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, SPD, Mystic Force, Jungle Fury, RPM, Super Samurai, Megaforce, Super Megaforce, Dino Charge, Dino Super Charge, Ninja Steel, Super Ninja Steel, Beast Morphers, Dino Fury, and finally, 2023's Cosmic Fury. Are they done? Almost certainly not. Dino Fury and Cosmic Fury are both on Netflix, which has taken over the Power Rangers mantle, so no doubt things will continue from here. But for Fortnite, these are the unsurpassed OGs. Of course, Halo and Power Rangers are not the only things in this season. There are a number of original Fortnite skins and new additions to the game like a triple barrel gatling gun that looks ridiculous. Ridiculously fun, I suppose. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
