Doing news in the morning is really working well for me. It’s much easier to do regularly this way. Here’s the news.
- Battlefield V Battle Royale
- Fortnite Comet Rituals
- Pokemon Go Spoofers
Battlefield Royale
According to an anonymous source at VentureBeat, developer DICE is currently working on creating a battle royale game mode (akin to Fortnite and PUBG) for their most recent Battlefield game. EA has declined for comment about it, so take it with a grain of salt. I wouldn’t put it past EA, though.
Fornite Final Coming
Fortnite players have been donning their tin foil hats recently when a strange looking comet has been gradually growing over a central area known as Tilted Towers. At first, it was just a weird site, but players are reporting more as of late. Some have seen an abundance of shooting stars in the area, others have noticed that telescopes have appeared on the game map at Tilted Towers. Some players have noted that when in the area, their controllers vibrate to say “SOSD5418” in Morse code. Since Tilted Towers is set in location D5, people believe this means the comet will crash on the spot on 4-18, yesterday. I think it might also mean 5-4-18, or May 4, 2018, which would be in about two weeks. Since the current Fortnite season is space themed, it’s possible that the comet will act as a dramatic closing. We will see. Stay tuned.
Pokemon Go Spoofers
According to the Pokemon Go community, developers Niantic have banned a large number of location spoofers for iOS devices. Spoofing communities have been in an uproar, reporting the game as 1 star, as well as the game HQ on Google Maps. As someone who’s been strong-armed out of gyms immediately by spoofers on many occasions, I’m happy to see progress being made to stop these people.
