Season 4 of Fortnite is treating players to an influx of Marvel-themed characters and goodies. The latest addition involves an ongoing storyline shared by Thor and Galactus, and invites players to visit mythic attractions, like the so-called Bifrost Marks. Historically speaking, Bifrost Marks are burned into the ground whenever someone uses the Bifrost (an ethereal bridge between Asgard, Thor’s homeland, and Midgard, the human world.) Whenever Thor “magically” lands on Earth after using the Bifrost, for example, he leaves behind a burning Bifrost Mark on the ground....

One young Fortnite player has felt the wrath of his mom after they used her card to buy almost 50,000 V-Bucks. Gone are the days when the transaction during which you bought a game started and ended with one visit to the store.

That makes the waters incredibly hard to navigate for non-gaming parents who are trusting their children to do the right thing....

There’s no question Epic Games has struck gold with Fortnite, its third-person battle royale game. After being the most profitable video game in 2018 by a wide margin, and seeing the holiday season give further reason for fans to spend money on in-game items, the holiday hangover has hit the wallets of Epic Games pretty hard. Fortnite saw a whopping 48% drop in revenue between December 2018 and January 2019. A brief downward trend was surely expected, given the peak of the holiday season resulting in more in-game purchases, but to see revenue nearly cut in half is staggering, especially for a game consistently as popular as Fortnite....

GameStop stock dropped 36 percent, and is currently sitting at $4.90 at the time of this writing. This drop is reportedly the biggest one-day loss in GameStop’s history....

Genshin Impact’s map is already packed to the brim with combat and lore content, and it will only become more packed as miHoYo expands the game to include more nations. For as much hype as Inazuma and the other nations have earned, however, no country in Genshin Impact is more interesting or enigmatic than Celestia.
