GTA Online Bikers Update Launches Today
The latest update to Grand Theft Auto Online, entitled Bikers, is now available.
The update brings motorcycle clubs to the game for the first time, and also adds a range of new vehicles, clothing, weapons, and game modes. There's also a new trailer accompanying the launch, which you can check out below.
Motorcycle clubs can bring up to eight players together, and the presidents of each club can promote members based on how well they perform. Each subsequent role brings new unique abilities, including being able to drop body armor, set MC riding formations, and start challenges.
Your MC will have a clubhouse as the base of operations, with 12 currently available to choose from. It'll have its own bar, a meeting room, a number of activities, and you'll be able to purchase an in-house custom bike shop as an add on.
Pokemon Sun and Moon: Starter Evolutions Announced
The latest Pokemon Sun and Moon trailer has revealed the first evolution for all three starter Pokemon, and officially announced a demo coming on October 18, along with an exclusive Pokemon.
Grass-type Rowlet will evolve into "Blade Quill Pokemon", Dartrix, Fire-type Litten becomes Torracat, and Water-type Popplio becomes "Pop Star Pokemon", Brionne.
The trailer also officially announced the rumoured demo, which will reward players for trying out the game in advance with a new version of Greninja, Ash-Greninja.
Ash-Greninja appears to evolve when a trainer's bond with it becomes strong enough, and can be transferred to the full game when it's released. Predictably, it's the version of Greninja that travels with Ash in Pokémon the Series: XYZ.

It's a pretty on-the-nose reference to the countdown timer used in weirdo N64 classic, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - and, most likely, is nothing more than a fan showing their appreciation.
