Monster Hunter, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and Venom are confirmed for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

For some time now, we’ve been wondering at who the final four unrevealed characters for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite‘s first wave of DLC characters will be; we now know that Monster Hunter, Winter Soldier, Black Widow and Venom (but not Gill, it seems) will be coming to the game this year, in the wake of Sigma and Black Panther. Capcom has released the information via MvC:I’s pre-release Capcom-Unity blog post.

Most of these characters have previously been hinted at in the many leaks surrounding the game’s development. Some of these, such as the Monster Hunter, have already been spotted in the game’s story mode. However, this is the first mention of Black Widow. Her inclusion seemingly imbalances the roster by giving it 4 Marvel characters and just 2 Capcom characters as DLC. That said, we’d like to note that there is also a Capcom character called Black Widow that comes from Ring of Destruction: Slam Masters II. Though this instance referring to her is unlikely.

While no release date for the characters has been set, all six will eventually be released later this year.

Raiden teleports into Injustice 2 this October; will have Black Lightning Premier Skin

After the conclusion of the 2017 Injustice 2 Pro Series finals, NetherRealm Studios had a special treat for those in attendance — or watching live around the world on Twitch. Raiden, the game’s 5th DLC character, and 2nd member of Fighter Pack 2, has received his official reveal trailer.

After promising to send Brainiac to the NetherRealm, the God of Thunder unleashed a flurry of his signature offense, including his Vicinity Blast, Shocker, Superman torpedo attack, the Teleport from his Displacer Variation in Mortal Kombat XL, as well as his Lightning Traps from the Master of Storms Variation.

Then, Black Lightning — Raiden’s Premier Skin – entered The Batcave to challenge Robin. His Trait appears to be striking himself with lighting to power up his attacks, with his effects even becoming yellow when Black Lightning is in play. Lightning even encases Black Manta is some sort of electrical prison, that will damage a foe if they throw projectiles, setting Raiden/Lighting up for a full punish. This could potentially be one of their Gear Abilities, along with a ground pound that serves as a wake-up attack.

Finally, in perhaps the flashiest super in the game, Raiden teleports his enemy to Mortal Kombat‘s Sky Temple, where he then combos them before taking them up into the sky, electrocuting them, and then transforms into the classic logo of the franchise, before unraveling into a lighting dragon and chomping them down to size. It is unknown if Black Lightning will share this same super animation, like every other Premier Skin before him.

Raiden will be available in October as part of Fighter Pack 2, while his Black Lightning Premier Skin will be an exclusive perk to Ultimate Edition owners. You can see the full trailer below.

– Dishonored: Death of the Outsider Review

Having never played any of the Dishonored series before Death of the Outsider, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into. Stealth games have never been my forte, and Death of the Outsider reminded me why that is. But by the end of the relatively short Death of the Outsider, I could teleport and set traps with the best of them. It only took me a dozen hours and hundreds of deaths to beat those lessons.

– Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition Review (PS4 Version)

Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition launched on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One earlier this month to great fanfare. The isometric RPG made by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Paradox Interactive, the biggest question going into the game was not whether or not it would be a great game – critics and fans alike agreed that PoE was stellar on PC. The question stemmed from how well the interface and controls would translate to a gamepad and television screen.
