Darth Maul hologram appears randomly on the map
In the Battle Royale mode, Darth Maul appears not as a traditional NPC but as a hologram. He doesn't spawn in a fixed location but can be found at random points on the island, usually after the first storm circle has formed. Players can locate him via a special red lightsaber icon with a black-and-red background on the map.
Interacting with the hologram grants access to a Rift Gate, leading to a cutscene where players unlock Maul's Sith Apprentice Lightsaber and Force Throw ability.
While the lightsaber can sometimes be looted from other players, the Force Throw skill - allowing users to lift and launch rocks - is exclusive to those who complete Maul's training.
The ability, when used effectively, can deal significant area damage. Activated by holding block and tapping attack, it offers both crowd control and destructive potential with a cooldown of around 15 seconds.
Darth Maul bundle and LEGO skin
Alongside the in-game powers, Epic Games has also added Darth Maul to the Item Shop.
His standalone skin is priced at 1,500 V-Bucks, while the full Darth Maul Bundle is available for 2,200 V-Bucks. The bundle includes his iconic outfit, the Sith Probe Droid back bling, Maul's Poleaxe pickaxe, the Sith Infiltrator glider, and a themed weapon wrap.
Players can also access a LEGO Fortnite version of Darth Maul, complete with his double-bladed lightsaber in charming brick form. This adds a unique visual twist to his otherwise menacing presence.

Whether you're training with the Sith or just flaunting the red and black look, now's the time to embrace the Dark Side.

Teens become millionaires overnight thanks to this Roblox game while parents think they're just playing games
A 19-year-old guy made a soccer video game called Blue Lock: Rivals on Roblox with help from co-developers. He made the game in just 3 months, inspired by anime and soccer. The game blew up fast and had over 1 million people playing it at the same time after its release in 2023. It started generating $5 million per month — but that money went to Roblox Corp., not just the developer. In March, a company called Do Big Studios bought Blue Lock: Rivals from the teen for more than $3 million, as per the report by Bloomberg. Big money for teen creators Roblox started nearly 20 years ago as a fun site for kids to make and play simple games. Now, it has almost 100 million daily users, and games made by regular kids/teens are being sold for millions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Unsold Container Homes in Davao Del Sur - Prices You Won't Believe!

Roblox made it easier to sell games in December when they allowed ownership transfer, which used to be banned. But Roblox itself says it doesn't help or handle these deals in the secondary market, as stated by Bloomberg.

In May, they bought a big chunk of Grow a Garden — now the most played game ever on Roblox. Grow a Garden had 21 million players at the same time in June — more than Fortnite, as per the reports. The game was originally made by another anonymous teen, then bought by Splitting Point before Do Big came in. In February, Roblox's top game Brookhaven RP was sold by a mystery dev to a company called Voldex Entertainment, according to the report by Bloomberg. Voldex CEO Alex Singer said the Brookhaven RP deal was even bigger than the $100 million deal for Welcome to Bloxburg. Roblox's top 10 game creators earned $36 million each from March 2023 to March 2024, as per the reports. Roblox might pay over $1 billion to developers in 2025 alone. Roblox CEO Dave Baszucki believes one dev could become a billionaire by 2028 just from Roblox. Deals are happening on discord Game deals mostly happen on Discord, says Connor Richards, a lawyer who's worked on many of them. Some teen devs have made hundreds of thousands of dollars from selling their games, as per the Bloomberg report. Another lawyer, Adam Starr, has handled about 20 Roblox game sales in a year, with more teens asking for help now. Most of these developers prefer staying anonymous, as per reports.

They even partnered with the NFL, renaming one game to NFL Universe Football to attract more players. Voldex keeps the original creators involved sometimes and adds teams of programmers to make the game even better. Roblox games often get popular fast and die fast, so creators sometimes sell their games for just 1-2 months' revenue, as mentioned by Bloomberg report. Others wait longer and sell for 12 months' worth of game income. Game artists and coders sometimes get a small ownership share in exchange for helping build the game. Voldex's CEO summed it up best: "Roblox is very capitalist — the goal is for creators to make real money', as stated by the Bloomberg report. FAQs Q1.

Germany's Puma launches V-S1 sneaker inspired by Football Heritage
Bold silhouettes inspired by the world's favorite sport are taking over the streets. Starting the lineup, PUMA's new V-S1 is a low-profile, future-forward design pulled straight from the pitch and reworked for the city. The recently introduced silhouette is one of PUMA's formidable and most authentic expressions of football DNA, remade for the lifestyle space. The V-S1's pitch-inspired look borrows and interprets visual elements from two 2000s-era performance designs: the V1.06, and V1.08. Defining the silhouette is its low-profile shape, asymmetrical lacing, and unmistakable performance accents like its structural heel cage. The V-S1 launches in two championship colorways: a distinct Gold makeup, paired with a clean White-Silver rendition. Puma's new V-S1 silhouette brings football-inspired design to the streets, merging pitch heritage with lifestyle flair. Drawing from the 2000s-era V1.06 and V1.08, it features a low-profile build, asymmetrical lacing, and a heel cage. Launching in Gold and White-Silver, the V-S1 reflects streetwear's evolving connection to sport and culture. As streetwear continues to pull from the energy of the beautiful game, as well as local-minded style codes that intertwine street style with community, PUMA designs like the V-S1 become more than sneakers, but symbols of new movements and emerging identities.
