Some screenshots have revealed that Kid Goku (GT) will be making his way to Dragon Ball FighterZ sometime this May.

Above we can see screenshots from the Japanese magainze V-Jump, the screenshots reveal that Bandai will be debuting the sixth iteration of Goku to Dragon Ball FighterZ sometime this May. We first heard about Kid Goku (GT) being added to Dragon Ball FighterZ back at the end of March, that announcement showcased some of Kid Goku's moves, more on that here.

While Dragon Ball GT wasn't that well received by fans when compared to the other series', Kid Goku getting an addition in Dragon Ball FighterZ might be a bit more of a positive reaction. Kid Goku (GT) is apart of the FighterZ Pass 2 or can be purchased independently. Dragon Ball FighterZ is currently available for purchase on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.

Team 17 and Ghost Town Games have seen quite the success for Overcooked 2, and now they are both rewarding that success by pushing out a brand new DLC called 'Campfire Cook Out'.

The new DLC is apart of the season pass that is currently available for $20. The first of DLC's planned for the season pass is titled 'Campfire Cook Out' and takes the kitchen to the outdoors by adding 15 more levels of mayhem. This DLC also adds; back packs, campfires, more chefs, new recipes and a new map.

From the above trailer we can see that the new levels will not be easy, with many new mechanics added to the game players will need to spend some time to work out appropriate strategies for each of the levels. In the entirety of this post I have provided the full description for each of the new pieces of content included within this first DLC. Campfire Cook Off is currently available, pick it up now for your PC, Xbox One, PS4 or Nintendo Switch version of Overcooked 2.

There is fewer characters in Game of Thrones who hate eachother more than Cersei and Tyrion Lannister, but is all hope lost for the brother and sister relationship? Elmo to the rescue!

In a new and very clever video that has been released onto the official Sesame Street YouTube Channel, Elmo is pitted against two of Westeros' masterminds. The video begins with Cersei and Tyrion negotiating over a cup of wine, when the talk hits its peak both Tryion and Cersei hear some rumblings below the table they are sitting at. To there amazement they see a fury red fellow in armor begin to sit at the table with them, shortly after Elmo begins to speak about having respect for each other.

Sesame Street has done a fantastic job of reminding people that they need to have respect for each other even if there is a feud that needs to be worked out. Elmo even provides strategies for people to take into account if they do have a disagreement with someone. He reminds people to always respect each other and also to make sure to listen what each other have to say. I must say this is quite a clever thing that Sesame Street has done and overall the message of the video is a very positive one. Perhaps Elmo should be the one to sit on the iron throne at the end of this season?

NetherRealm Studios has decided to reveal the launch trailer for Mortal Kombat 11 early, taking old school players of the previously releases games back to the times of the original Mortal Kombat.

Right off the bat, we can hear the original Mortal Kombat theme starting up, and as I can imagine players that were there for the release of the original Mortal Kombat begin to get goosebumps. Instead of the typical rap song that we heard in the cinematic trailer for Mortal Kombat 11, we have the classic song "Test Your Might".

While the trailer doesn't really reveal anything new for the game, it certainly does continue that hype train pushing on until the release of the title on April 23rd. Yesterday, we got a gameplay reveal trailer for the Nintendo Switch version of the game, as expected there is some considerable downscales graphically, check that trailer out here. Mortal Kombat 11 is planned for launch on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo Switch on April 23rd.

HBO has always had to fight off pirates of its hit Game of Thrones and with its recent season 8 premiere, analytics company MUSO says the premiere was pirated close to 55 million times in its first day.

MUSO adds that around 76% of these viewers used bootleg streams while 12% downloaded it, 10.8% used public torrents while 0.5% used private torrents. The most popular place for pirate versions of the S8 premiere of Game of Thrones was India with MUSO reporting 10 million views were in India, while China chimed in with 5 million.

Remember that HBO isn't available everywhere so there are those that will look to pirating the show, or for people who aren't subscribed and paying for a TV package of some kind in their country. In saying that, MUSO said that around 4 million people pirated the S8 premiere of Game of Thrones in the US, and that's the home of HBO's main audience.

The latest update for The Division 2 dubbed Update 2.1 fixes a bunch of issues, but the big daddy update in Title Update 3 was due April 25, and now has been delayed and releasing "sometime in May". If you want to see The Division 2 benchmarked with 20 graphics cards, check that out here.

Ubisoft explains in a blog post: "The final release date of Title Update 3 will be based on results from further testing and balancing of the game. Operation Dark Hours will be your biggest challenge to date, and we want to make sure that we've properly tested the large amount of balance changes that are coming to both PvE and PvP and listen to your feedback about the changes before introducing the raid".

I respect the team for delaying the update by a couple of weeks as The Division 2 has been one of the smoothest launches of a big persistent world AAA game in a very long time. Ubisoft and Massive obviously want this trend to continue, deciding to delay Title Update 3. However, if you're playing The Division 2 on the PC you can test some of these changes out on the PTS, or Public Test Server.

Ubisoft has pushed out another update for The Division 2, with the new Update 2.1 fixing some of the issues with NPCs and other enemies getting stuck in a T-pose, something that happened because of the previous patch from a few days ago. If you want to see The Division 2 benchmarked with 20 graphics cards, check that out here.

The new update for The Division 2 also fixes a bunch of bugs that have plagued the game for some players since launch, with the Revive Hub now being more consistent in how it works, but the team at Massive Entertainment added that it's still an on-going issue for some even with the new update. On top of that the Crafting Bench bug has been fixed, with some players unable to upgrade it now not having that problem.

The full set of patch notes for The Division 2's new Update 2.1:

• Fixed an issue where enemy NPCs could get stuck in a T-pose when being killed out of view.
• Fixed another issue with the Revive Hive not working properly. We are still working on instances where the skill sometimes will not resurrect players.
• Fixed an issue where the Gila Guard brand gear could not be donated to the Campus Daily Project "Brand Request: Gila Guard".
• Fixed an issue where the Crafting Bench upgrade blueprint would not be granted to players when moving from one World Tier to another.
• Fixed an issue where the two piece bonus of the True Patriot gear set would not trigger correctly.

Naughty Dog has teased that it is still deep in development of The Last of Us Part II, with game director Neil Druckmann teasing on Twitter: "Just shot this scene... so..." with it showing in the photo 'The End' and 'Cut To Black'.

This means Naughty Dog has filmed the last scene of the game, and while the script itself in the tweet doesn't spoil anything we now know that one chapter of the game is finished. We should expect Naughty Dog to prepare The Last of Us Part II to be a PlayStation 5 launch title, and then a PS4/PS4 Pro version of the game with graphics good enough for the current-gen of PlayStation consoles.

This could also all be a ruse, as games and movies aren't always shot in order. Druckmann might be showing this off to drum up some hype for the game as the tweet dropped right in the middle of PlayStation architect Mark Cerny detailing Sony's next-gen PlayStation 5 console. Naughty Dog is a PlayStation-exclusive developer and The Last of Us is an important member of the PlayStation family of games.

Old-school PS2 shooter XIII is getting remastered, and looks to be a perfect foundation for a wacky-but-serious Archer video game adaptation.

When I saw 2003's stylish shooter XIII for the first time today, something clicked in my head: this looks a lot like Archer. Sure XIII came first, but the connection was there and I can't erase it now. XIII has cel-shaded graphics that really bring to mind Sterling Archer's ridiculous exploits at spy agency ISIS, and it has a distinct comic-pulp layout and taps underlying beats that perfectly exemplify FX's inspirations for the show. Archer is a mix of James Bond's death-defying stunts with none of the suave charm, but the show's overall themes--crazy stunts, gunning down baddies, a serious-yet-humorous bent--can be found in XIII.

So why isn't there an Archer FPS that matches XIII's mechanics with tons of humor and nods thrown in the mix? It seems like the perfect cocktail for a AA product that Archer fans would eat up like Pam eats up crab legs.
