Well today Gearbox and publisher 2K announced that Battleborn is getting a free trial, giving the people Battleborn’s multiplayer for free. They claim that you can play all of the multiplayer without any limits or level caps.
In this new free version, they are releasing a rotating group of 6 heroes out of the possible 30 they offer, as well as gameplay modes and maps. When you play each character, that progress will be saved, even if that character is no longer playable, so that the next time they are, that will all be there still.
Luckily, they are also grouping new players together, so all the n00bs don’t get slaughtered by the veteran players. Once you reach rank 20, then you will move out of the Novice Queue and can play with everyone else
The free trial goes into affect starting today, worldwide for Xbox One and PC, and North America only for PS4, but will become available in Europe and Japan for those PS4 users starting June 13.
For more details about how this will work you can head over to Gearbox

New Pokémon games have been revealed! Pokkén Tournament DX comes to Nintendo Switch on September 22, and Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon come to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on November 17!
Fans were disappointed that the rumored Pokemon Stars version for Switch was nowhere to be seen and a website listing showing TBA led to rampant speculation. The Pokémon copy shut down rumors that a Switch version was coming and that the website listing was an error. Maybe we’ll find out more at E3? Here’s hoping as I for one would love a mainline Pokémon game on the Switch.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War will now launch worldwide on Oct. 10, 2017.
Monolith the developer of Shadow of War, wants to make it the best game it can be but unfortunately needs a little more time to work on it. With an apologetic post on their forums they broke the news of the delay. However they did say that there was more to show at E3 and to be excited for what they will reveal.

In case you missed it last weekend here are the times you can play the ARMS Global Testpunch. I had a lot of fun playing it last weekend so make sure to check it. ARMS releases June 16 for Nintendo Switch.
Announced earlier today from Iron Galaxy and Maximum Games, Extinction is a fast-paced, action game coming out early 2018 for Xbox One, Playstation 4 and PC.
As you can see in this first Cinematic trailer above, the player will be fighting massive 150-foot-tall ogres along with armies of other smaller creatures. Apparently, as shown in the trailer above, being able to dismember and disarm your opponent is not just a cool cinematic touch, but will actually be something that characters will need to do in order to weaken and finally defeat enemies.
They are touting a whole list of features, a few of which are as follow:
Deep Story Campaign. Protect the human population across an abundant story campaign, rescuing as many civilians as possible and taking down brutal opponents.
Dynamic Side Missions. Complete numerous side missions with various objectives, earning upgrades to aid you in your campaign.
Skill-Based Combat. Travel horizontally and vertically, perform wall runs, and use your whip as a vault to perform devastating air assaults. Master dynamic combat maneuvers to effectively traverse the giant beasts and expose their weak points, progressing along different skill trees to develop a path best suited to your playstyle.
Interactive Environment. Move freely around a fully destructible environment, and use objects throughout the world to your strategic advantage.
Innumerable Battle Scenarios. Every battlefield is different from the last, ensuring a unique combat situation each time you play.
Custom Battles. Create custom battlegrounds with varied objectives, and challenge players online to compete for the top score.
Extinction Mode. Fight off a continuous horde of assailants as wave after wave of ogres and their minions attack without relent.
Extinction sounds like it has the potential to be something special and we can’t wait to see them release more info at E3 in a couple weeks. Stay tuned for more info as we receive it.
Extinction will be coming early 2018 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
