Fortnite will introduce zombies in the Battle Royale for Halloween
Get loot back to the grave.

Fortnite will now add zombies to Battle Royale mode with the Nightmare before Tempest event.

These enemies, who are usually from the Save the World, will endanger the players but also allow them to obtain loot, such as shields.

They will appear all over the map, with a higher incidence in corrupt zones (here is a list of all the corrupt zones). They will also appear in other places at random.

The "monsters of the cube" (official name) will come out of the parts of the giant purple cube that have been detached after carrying Balsa Botín in front.

Along with this update come other changes, such as a demon-hunting crossbow that will be available for a limited time or new mini-games for the Recreation Patio mode. Oh, and now rocket launchers shoot pumpkins.

China closes the last method to publish new video games in the country
The "Green Channel" allowed to test the monetization for a month.

According to Bloomberg, China has blocked the latest method available to approve new video games in the Asian country.

China has not approved new games for sale since last March. The reason they argue is that they want to regulate video games to combat myopia.

This news is having economic repercussions for companies with a large presence in this country, such as the local Tencent (which has lost $ 16,800 million in stock value in recent months), the South Korean Nexon or the Japanese Capcom.

To skip this restriction to some extent, since August the companies had turned to the "Green Channel", which allowed them to obtain a temporary license to prove the reaction of consumers. In practice it meant that it was possible to monetize video games for a month; Licenses were scarce and resold in the market for up to $ 72,000, according to Bloomberg sources. The president of Tencent hoped to pass Fortnite through the Green Channel.

The Government of China has paralyzed the "Green Channel", nullifying de facto the possibility of launching new games or monetizing them. No date has been given for the new videogame approval system.

The movement is concentrating revenues on games that were already licensed and operated as GaaS (Games as a service) and the number of people who use Steam, which is not officially approved by the Government and therefore does not depend on their regulations. Steam has doubled its users in China in the last year and is preparing a version of its exclusive client for this country.

DICE has also outlined its plans for the post-launch content of the game that will come as part of its service called Winds of War.

Winds of War will begin two weeks after the release of the game in November with the Panzerstorm map and the one-player The Last Tiger mission, in which we will play from the perspective of the Germans.

At some point between December and January, DICE will add the first iteration of Practice Range, which will serve to practice "shooting, driving and flying," DICE explains. The personalization of the vehicles, which will include objects such as skins for tanks, will begin in that period.

Later, between January and March, Battlefield 5 will receive the cooperative content Combined Arms and two game modes: Rush and Squad Contest. Finally, in March the game will receive the mentioned Firestorm mode and the map of Greece.

This is Melmetal, the evolution of the mythical Pokémon Meltan
It can only evolve in Pokémon Go.

Nintendo has presented Melmetal, the evolution of the mythical Pokémon Meltan.

Shown today for the first time, Meltan is the Nut Pokémon that was announced a few weeks ago and will be present in Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee.

In the following video you can see the comic duo formed by Professor Willow and Professor Oak presenting this new species:

"It's the first Melmetal that has been seen for 3,000 years!" In antiquity, this Pokémon won the adoration of people thanks to its ability to create metal, "the Pokémon official website reports. "Melmetal knows a peculiar movement of Steel type: Double Ferropuño.When executing this powerful physical attack, uses the nut of the chest as an axis and rotates its robust arms giving a double blow to the opponent.The weight of the nuts of the arms combined with the rapid rotation gives the movement an extraordinary power, so much that it can push the target back after the blow. "

The mechanics to get our Meltan and Melmetal are still a little confusing, but apparently we can capture Meltan in Pokémon GO after interacting with someone who has Pokémon Let's Go in Switch. Meltan can only evolve to Melmetal in Pokémon GO through 400 candies, after which we can transfer it to Let's Go.

"As with the candies you collect for other Pokémon, you can get Meltan candy by doing things like catching it, sending it to Professor Willow or having Meltan ride with you as your Pokémon partner. You will also receive these candies when you send Meltan from Pokémon GO to Pokémon. : Let's Go Pikachu! E Eevee! In addition, you can also use other useful shortcuts to accelerate this Evolution, like getting more Meltan candies exchanging with friends or using weird candy. "
