Thursday 4-19-18: Battlefield Royale, Fornite Comet, and GO Spoofer Bans

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.

Friday 3-2-18: Battlefield V and Nintendo Switch Troubles

Finally Friday. Here’s the news.

  • Battlefield V information
  • Nintendo Switch Playtime Bug

Not Battlefield 2


According to an anonymous source, The next Battlefield game will be called Battlefield V. They also stated that it will take place during World War II. This was allegedly EA’s plan the whole time, using the recent WWI game as the first step towards returning to WWII. Trust the source, or not. It’s up to you.

Switching Play Times


The title may have been misleading. The Switch isn’t switching play times but forgetting them all together. For some reason, any game you played over a year ago will forget that year’s worth of data. According to the console, everyone’s first play time for Breath of the Wild was only 6 days ago. People are only now finding this out because the Nintendo Switch released a year ago tomorrow. Nintendo of America said it was an error, and they will have more info about it soon.


Thanks for reading. Today is a short news day. I can’t wait to rest and relax. Check back Monday for the weekend news. Otherwise, have a great night!
