Final Fantasy XV Gets Patch and DLC Today
Square Enix has launched the Final Fantasy XV Booster Pack + DLC today to all Season Pass holders, along with the 1.05 patch for all players.
The DLC contains an almighty sword called Ragnarok which allows you to perform a powerful Warp-strike attack. You'll also get a... fishing rod and a reel which will make fish easier to catch.
The newest patch includes the addition of two songs from NieR: Automata to the Final Fantasy XV music player (which you can now listen to while riding chocobos), the addition of new timed quests, and an increased level cap up to 120 from 99. You can now also save up to 200 photos rather than the previous 150, and an increased framerate will be found on the new PlayStation 4 Pro Lite mode.

Doomfist Might Not Be the Next Overwatch Hero After All
Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan appears to have poured cold water on the widely-held belief that the (possibly Terry Crews-voiced) Doomfist will be the next character released for the shooter.
In an Overwatch forum thread otherwise about new emotes for existing characters, Kaplan reconfirmed that "we have multiple new heroes being worked on right now", before stating that "
is not who you think it is."
Following subtle hints and a campaign by Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor Crews to voice the character, it's been the general assumption that Doomfist would be number 24 - Kaplan appears to be telling us that's not the case.

These Upcoming Overwatch Figures Are Crazy Adorable
Overwatch got a lot of love at this year's Toy Fair in New York, as several new figures based on Blizzard's team-based shooter were at the event.
Check out the gallery below to see a collection of Funko POP! Vinyl figures, including Reinhardt, D.Va, Lucio, McCree, Mei and Symmetra, as well as Good Smile Company's previously-announced Tracer Nendoroid figure. The POP! Vinyl figures are currently hand-painted prototypes, so while all of the visors seen on the models in the gallery are opaque, they'll be clear in the final product.
You can pre-order the Tracer Nendoroid through Good Smile's Online Shop for 4900 yen (approximately $43 USD). Meanwhile, all of the Funko POP! Vinyl figures will be available for $10, except for the Reinhardt model, which costs $15, and the D.Va figure, which is priced at $20. A release date for the POP! Vinyl figures has yet to be announced.

Game of Thrones Concert Experience Will Bring the Show to Life
Game of Thrones stars Liam Cunningham and Jacob Anderson have been inside a Meereenese pyramid, north of the Wall and in the presence of dragons and giants during their time filming the HBO hit series, but both of them were still in awe when they first saw the stage being used for Thrones' upcoming live concert experience.
"I assumed there might be a screen involved, but I was not expecting this," Cunningham, who plays Davos Seaworth, told IGN. "It’s extraordinary."
Built inside a studio soundstage with multiple moving stages and massive screens, the stage is intended to bring to life some of the most famous moments from Game of Thrones' previous six seasons. The concert experience has been a dream three years in the making for composer Ramin Djawadi, who initially conceived it with showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss as a small, one-off concert before it morphed into the massive, city-traveling experience that kicks off on February 20th.
