Five Nights At Freddy’s 2, the sequel to the 2023 film adaptation of the popular horror game, has a premiere date. Freddy Fazbear and friends will return to the big screen on December 5, 2025.

The tagline for Five Nights At Freddy’s 2 reads, “Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.” The sequel’s cast has not been announced, but the original starred Josh Hutchinson and included Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Piper Rubio. Director Emma Tammi is returning to direct the sequel, with FNAF creator Scott Cawthorn and Blumhouse founder Jason Blum once again assuming producer roles.

It’s a great time to be a Fallout fan, thanks to its excellent Amazon Prime series and the next-gen update for Fallout 4. But it seems like the fallout from this recent boom in popularity hasn’t died down quite yet. Thanks to a teaser shared on Fortnite’s official social media pages, we know that Fallout will be coming to Fortnite pretty soon

The teaser image shows power armor in a cloud of orange dust, accompanied by what appears to be some sort of industrial building. Other than that, there’s not much to go on, but we can make educated guesses. For one, Fortnite’s current season will end on May 24, so this is the perfect time to tease the skins that might be coming in the next battle pass. And if it’s anything like the recent Avatar: The Last Airbender and Star Wars crossovers, we might see Fallout-themed mechanics or areas appear on the battle royale map itself.

It will almost certainly involve some sort of cosmetic pack as well, which could include characters from the games, the Amazon Prime show, or both. Thanks to the teaser, we know power armor will be making an appearance, but it’s unclear whether it will be an item to equip in-game or a skin that can be unlocked or purchased.

The trailer shows that EA is seemingly going all out to replicate the pomp and passion of college football, with over-the-top team entrances, marching band performances, and mascots galore. It remains to be seen how fun or different the on-field action is compared to its Madden counterpart, but the game at least seems to capture the school spirit. 

EA also released a batch of new screenshots, which you can view in this gallery.

Our first Early Access patch for Hades II is out now on Steam and the Epic Games Store!! We’re very grateful for all the feedback so far, which inspired this first set of targeted improvements and fixes.

🌒Full Patch Notes: https://t.co/HDQRCANrv1 pic.twitter.com/RJO0ayFb8c

The first change comes to the sprint mechanic, a feature the original Hades did not have. By holding the dash button, Melinoë will begin to run, making it easier to avoid enemy attacks or cross larger lengths of the map. Several boons also only activate while sprinting, so it’s a crucial mechanic for Supergiant to get right. After this first patch, sprinting is faster and it’s easier to turn, and related boons have been re-balanced accordingly. Additionally, The Swift Runner upgrade at the Altar of Ashes (which increases sprint speed by 20%) now makes your dash immediately start, so you can escape danger more reliably.

The patch also does a minor overhaul of the resource collection system. As you progress, you’ll unlock different tools, like the pickaxe and the shovel, to harvest different types of materials, like minerals and seeds. Before the patch, choosing a tool before a run meant you could only harvest those specific resources until you returned to the crossroads. If you picked up a shovel and encountered a fishing spot, you were out of luck. Now, players can harvest any resource they encounter in a run, but selecting a certain tool just makes its corresponding resource much more likely to appear. Now, a shovel-wielding Melinoë can attempt to catch any fish she comes across, but it’s much less likely she encounters one in the first place.

The patch also includes a number of other smaller fixes, which you can read in their entirety here. Just be wary before unveiling those spoiler tags if you haven’t made it through the bulk of the game, as they reveal the existence of certain characters or locations you likely haven’t encountered yet.

However, this new report from The Wall Street Journal seemingly clears the air around that topic. 

“Microsoft plans a major shake up of its video game sales strategy by releasing the coming installment of Call of Duty to its subscription service instead of the longtime, lucrative approach of only selling it a la carte,” the story reads.
