LEGO has announced the Luke Skywalker Landspeeder Ultimate Collector Series set.

Retailing for $199.99 / £174.99, the set comes with 1,890 pieces and recreates Luke's X-34 Landspeeder from Star Wars: A New Hope.

It will be available to LEGO VIP members from May 1 while its full launch online and in stores is on Star Wars day itself: May 4.

The set comes with two minifigures, Luke Skywalker and an exclusive C-3PO minifigure with 2K moulded legs and a side print. It also includes a display plaque with the vehicle details as is standard with the Ultimate Collector Series sets.

When built the landspeeder measures 50cm long, 30cm wide, and 17cm tall. It has every detail from the iconic film including a two-seater cockpit (which features a new and uniquely moulded LEGO piece), the turbine engine without a cover, and even scratches in the right places.

Designer César Carvalhosa said: "It’s been an amazing adventure creating Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder in LEGO brick form. It is such an iconic vehicle in the Star Wars saga. "We’ve ensured no detail has been forgotten and have even included some of the scratches. The finished product makes an incredible display and is the perfect addition to the UCS collection.”

It becomes the fourth Ultimate Collector Series set alongside the Millennium Falcon, A-Wing, Republic Gunship, and AT-AT.

On the gaming side of LEGO Star Wars, The Skywalker Saga was released earlier this month, featuring missions from all nine mainline Star Wars films.

In our 8/10 review, IGN said: "LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga provides some rollicking reimaginings of Star Wars’ most iconic moments and seats them inside a series of interplanetary playgrounds that are dense with discovery and entertaining diversions."

One of Elden Ring's toughest bosses, Malenia, Blade of Miquella, is now automatically self-healing when players summon help.

While healing herself is one of Malenia's normal abilities, she is only meant to do so when her attacks hit the player. A bug in Elden Ring's latest update, however, seemingly means she can self-heal at any point of the fight and for no apparent reason.

Elden Ring's leading Malenia expert Let Me Solo Her spotted the bug when he was summoned to fight the boss.

His YouTube video shows it off clearly: even when there are no players near Malenia, never mind taking damage from her, chunks of her health bar shoot back up.

Other players have noticed it too, with reddit user Demonboy995 saying that it happened every time he was summoned to help fight Malenia.

It's unclear what's triggering the healing but users have hypothesised that, as it only occurs in multiplayer, lag is essentially causing Malenia to register hits that aren't registered by the players.

The infamous boss is perhaps just looking for her own ways to counter Let Me Solo Her, however, the now legendary Elden Ring summon who appears in other players' worlds to defeat her with ease.

Patch 1.04 also made it harder to defeat the Malenia in other, more intentional ways, as it nerfed the Swarm of Flies incantation that caused major blood loss damage.

In our 10/10 review, IGN said: "Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path."

DuckTales fans are still smarting over the untimely cancellation of the animated series in 2021, but we haven't quite seen the last of Uncle Scrooge and his nephews. Dark Horse Books has announced The Art of DuckTales, a new hardcover book delving behind the scenes of the reboot series.

Like all of Dark Horse's art books, The Art of DuckTales will include plenty of concept art, behind-the-scenes materials and creator commentary. This particular volume even boasts interviews with developers Matt Youngberg, Francisco Angones, Sean Jimenez and Suzanna Olson, as well as cast members David Tennant (Scrooge McDuck), Danny Pudi (Huey), Ben Schwartz (Dewey), Bobby Moynihan (Louie), Kate Micucci (Webby), Beck Bennett (Launchpad McQuack), Toks Olagundoye (Mrs. Beakley), Paget Brewster (Della Duck) and Don Cheadle (Donald Duck).

The Art of DuckTales will be released as both a standard hardcover ($49.99) and a Deluxe Edition version ($99.99). The Deluxe Edition features bonuses like a gold foil cover, slipcase, a replica of Scrooge's lucky dime and even a second book called The DuckTales Guidebook, which features expanded versions of the cast and crew interviews.

Both versions of The Art of DuckTales will be released on September 20 in bookstores and September 21 in comic shops.

Other recent art book annoucnements from Dark Horse include The Art of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and The Art of Halo Infinite.

While DuckTales ended its run after three seasons, Disney is reportedly developing a new Darkwing Duck series for Disney+. It's unknown whetehr the series will be connected to the DuckTales reboot universe.

Lost Ark's rumoured Battle Pass is now official and already available.

Amazon Games confirmed in a blog post that the Ark Pass would be included in the action-RPG as part of the April update that released today.

The Battle Pass works in the same way as Fortnite's or Call of Duty's: players will progress through levels for different rewards by simply playing the game or, in some cases, completing specific objectives.

The regular Ark Pass is free and grants several rewards across 30 levels including a mount, pirate coins, and honing material selection chests.

Two other versions of the pass are available at an additional cost. The Premium Ark Pass costs 1,500 Royal Crystals and adds extra rewards at each level including a Vertus Pet, rapport chests, and gems.

The Super Premium Ark Pass costs 3,000 Royal Crystals and includes all previous rewards plus selection chests for the Noble Banquet skin collection, a matching wallpaper, and some legendary rapport chests.

Royal Crystals are available in set packs: 1,000 for $9.99, 2,200 for $19.99, and 5,750 for $49.99.

Also in today's Lost Ark update is the new Martial Artist advanced class, the Glaivier, which uses a short spear in the Flurry stance and a glaive in the Focus stance. Players are encouraged to use both modes as different abilities activate when swapping between stances.

The brand new region of South Vern is also now available, which requires an item level of 1,340 as the second Tier 3 continent in the game. It features new quests, characters, and stories centred around Queen Ealyn and Knight Commander Avele.

Several other additions have also arrived in the April update including new timed events and dozens of bug fixes, balance adjustments, and new additions to the Lost Ark store.

Lost Ark has proved immensely popular on PC since it was released in the west in February, shooting to second place on Steam's most played games of all time and amassing over 20 million players.

The launch hasn't been without issues though, and Amazon Games recently admitted it released the first major update too soon after launch, pressuring players into paying for what was meant to be free content.

It's also been criticised for having gender-locked classes, meaning only men can be warriors and women can be mages, and so on, alongside its female characters' revealing outfits, though these concerns have been somewhat addressed.

In our 8/10 review, IGN said: "Lost Ark is an extremely generous free-to-play ARPGMMO that draws a lot from Diablo – including its well-worn story about humans and Heaven teaming up against demons."

Mutant Football League, not to be confused with Mutant League Football, is getting a sequel.

IGN can exclusively reveal that Digital Dreams is currently working on a follow-up to its 2017 reimagining of EA's 1993 cult football classic. Mutant Football League 2 will feature more mutants, more game modes, upgraded visuals and online play, custom teams, an improved Dynasty Supreme franchise mode, and new shifts to gameplay such as changing weather during matches and the addition of an eighth player to the field.

Digital Dreams is making Mutant Football League 2 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, and PC. Additionally, Digital Dreams' development team is largely based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Due to the ongoing invasion of Russia, Digital Dreams is unable to pinpoint when Mutant Football League 2 will be able to release.

Digital Dreams is joining a number of other games companies across the industry in fundraising to help the citizens of Ukraine by selling Mutant Football League T-shirts, with all proceeds going to World Central Kitchen. IGN has rounded up a number of other ways to help here.

Overwatch's Doomfist and Orisa are both receiving major reworks in Overwatch 2.

While all 32 original Overwatch characters are returning for the sequel, Blizzard announced two further reworks (joining Bastion and Sombra) in a blog post, revealing that Doomfist has even had a role change.

He'll switch from being a damage hero to a tank, losing his Uppercut ability in the process. Instead, Doomfist is now equipped with Power Block, a shielding ability that protects from frontal attacks, and his health has increased from 250 to 450.

Blocking heavy damage with the shield will power up his Rocket Punch ability, which will travel faster and further and deal increased damage when empowered.

"Power Block feels kind of like Zarya when people shoot into her shields, but instead of passively gaining damage, his next punch will get a buff that lasts until he either uses Rocket Punch or is eliminated," said lead hero designer Geoff Goodman. "When you block a hard-hitting attack, you get powered up instantly. It almost feels like a parry."

His final major change is in his Seismic Slam ability, which now launches Doomfist in a similar way to Winston's leap, and upon hitting will slow enemies and deal damage.

He's received other tweaks too, which can be seen in Blizzard's graphic (above) but overall, "Doomfist has super fluid mobility on all planes right now", Goodman said. "He gained a ton of mobility with Seismic Slam, but he doesn’t have as much jerky, unpredictable movement."

Orisa has also been adapted to work better in the new five-versus-five games, and while Doomfist received new defensive abilities, Orisa's rework focused more on dealing damage.

Her Protective Barrier, Halt, and Supercharger abilities are all gone, and her primary fire now shoots a larger projectile that deals more damage the closer she is to enemies.

"Her gun encourages her to get close to enemies and play more forward in Overwatch 2," said senior hero designer Brandon Brennan, and her increased health and armour contribute to this idea too.

Her secondary fire, a new ability called Energy Javelin, is a skill shot projectile that hits the first enemy in its path, acting as a micro-stun that does more damage when there's a wall behind you.

Orisa's next new ability is the Javelin Spin, which, as the name suggests, has her spin a javelin that destroys incoming projectiles while also pushing back enemies and increasing forward speed.

Brennan said: "Our primary purpose with Javelin Spin is to help Orisa engage and get into the fight. When paired with her other abilities, it can become a lethal combo. You can herd enemies backward and follow up with an Energy Javelin to push them into a wall."

Her new Ultimate is Terra Surge, which fortifies Orisa and pulls in nearby enemies while charging up an AOE attack, providing a perfect opportunity for the team to coordinate a series of strong attacks on the enemy.

"We started her rework by removing Orisa’s barrier and her Halt ability, but we still thought Halt was really cool," said Brennan. "We incorporated the idea of Halt into Orisa’s new ultimate, and this is where the pull comes from."

Blizzard didn't reveal if more reworks are on the way but some players will at least be able to test out these changes in the upcoming closed beta.

The new hero, Sojourn, will also be playable, meaning her massive railgun and focus on maneuverability can be tried out for the first time too.

The PC closed beta arrives on April 26, and though Blizzard has not confirmed a release date for the game's official launch, it has said the PvP and PvE modes will arrive separately.

Mindhunter episode director Andrew Dominik has peeled back the curtain on where Season 3 would have gone if the series had not have been put on "indefinite hold."

Dominik recently gave Collider some insight into what Mindhunter's third season would have been about if it had ever come to fruition. He revealed the plot would have sent the show's FBI profilers to Hollywood where they would have met up with a couple of high-profile filmmakers to share their findings, but sadly the future of the Netflix drama is still in doubt.

"What they were going to do with Season 3 was they were going to go [to] Hollywood," Dominik shared. "So one of them was going to be hooking up with Jonathan Demme and the other one was going to be hooking up with Michael Mann. And it was all going to be about profiling making it into the sort of zeitgeist, the public consciousness."

Dominik admitted that the shelved third season of Mindhunter was the one "everyone was really waiting for to do," as it was going to take a step in a new direction by uprooting the FBI Behavioral Science Unit team from their basement office to transport them to Tinseltown, however, these ambitious storyline plans would inevitably present a financial challenge.

Mindhunter producer and director David Fincher previously explained that the process of making the Netflix series was exhausting and that for the viewership the show had, it was too expensive — probably too expensive for a third season to receive a green light, especially if the next chapter required a bigger budget than the last season.

Between the exhaustion and financial challenge of a possible third season, Fincher seemed to believe that the third season of Mindhunter wasn't on the cards, at least for now. This didn't come as a major surprise either, as cast members Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, and Anna Torv were released from their respective contracts with Netflix at the beginning of 2020.

The much-liked crime drama ended on a cliffhanger in 2019, with several open-ended plot threads left hanging. Though, according to IGN's review of Mindhunter Season 2, it remained "a compelling and impeccably shot crime thriller" that lent "fascinating insight into the minds of infamous serial killers and the men and woman who hunt them for a living."

Moon Knight has become the latest pop-culture character to arrive in Fortnite.

Epic Games announced his inclusion in a blog post detailing the two new skin variations, Back Bling, and pickaxe, available for 2,000 V-Bucks altogether.

The skins come in one single purchase that can be switched back and forward at the player's leisure, choosing between Moon Knight in his full superhero attire or Mr. Knight and his fancy three-piece suit.

Also included with the skin is the Cloak Back Bling, as "Moon Knight is seldom seen without his cape", the blog post said.

His Crescent Darts weapons are also available as a pickaxe but these are a separate purchase. Moon Knight himself costs 1,500 V-Bucks, while the Crescent Darts cost 500. V-Bucks are available in bundles of 1,000 ($7.99 / £6.49) or 2,800 ($19.99 / £15.99).

Fortnite continues to add many characters from every major franchise franchise (and everything in general ever) to its hit Battle Royale game.

Nathan Drake from the Uncharted movie and games was recently added, alongside Dwayne Johnson, Bruno Mars, and outfits from Cobra Kai. It even added virtual attendees of Coachella alongside music from the festival itself.

It all appears to feed into Epic Games' metaverse, with the Coachella collaboration in particular feeding into the idea of bringing "the real world" into a shared online space, especially as the event was announced just days after Sony and LEGO's parent company KIRKBI invested $2 billion into the publisher.

An update for Quake has added new accessibility options and maps 26 years after it was first released.

As revealed on the Steam announcements page, Quake now lets players change its menu style to a plain black and white format instead of just having stylised letters appear over the game.

Other sight-focused features include adjustable screen flash intensity, on-screen message duration times, an increase in the maximum number of messages appearing on the HUD, and adjustable display durations of multiplayer text messages.

The update also brings a chat-to-voice converter to Quake. Players can now turn incoming multiplayer text chat into a synthesized voice, or convert incoming voice chat to text. The opposite is also possible, as messages the player sends can also be converted into a voice, with multiple styles available.

Outside of the new accessibility options, three horde maps have been added to Quake alongside several balance adjustments to the mode, including improvements to bot AI.

The PC classic, still making headlines despite being more than a quarter of a century old, will naturally be a core feature of QuakeCon. Organisers announced last week that the yearly celebration of id Software games like Quake and Doom would be a digital event again this year.

While it's mostly a chance for fans to meet and greet, last year's event also revealed new information about Deathloop, Fallout 76, and Elder Scrolls Online, while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition was also announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.

Spy comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service almost got all six James Bond actors together for a trailer that would see them pass the baton to the new spy series.

During an interview with The James Bond A-Z Podcast, creator Mark Millar revealed that Kingsman almost had a teaser trailer featuring all six 007s, and it only fell apart due to the very first.

“Matthew Vaughan who directed Kingsman had this really cool idea, when Sean Connery was still alive, and Roger Moore was still alive,” he said. “His idea was to do a promotional teaser for Kingsman where you had all the previous Bonds together, all having a toast around the table. [They’d be] talking about a new generation of spies. They had this really cool little idea.”

It’s clearly the kind of concept you only ever dream of pulling together, but Millar revealed that they were actually a lot closer to making this teaser than they ever thought possible.

“We actually had a link to everybody,” he said. “We had like Roger Moore, who was good friends with someone Matthew knew, I can’t remember who it was. Colin Firth was friendly with [Pierce Brosnan], and Matthew knew Daniel Craig for Layer Cake, and somebody knew [George] Lazenby. We kinda had all of them. And I think we had a slightly provisional ‘yes’, according to Matthew, I don’t know if this is true, but we had a provisional ‘yes’ from everyone and we were trying to get Connery, and [Matthew] tried to get me to get Connery, because I was Scottish!”

As it turns out, Millar and Connery did have a mutual friend…

“Although I didn’t know him, I called up my mutual friend and he phoned ahead, but Connery was quite ill by that point, and we were told ‘this just can’t happen’. And I said, ‘why don’t we just do what they did in the 1960s and just get Neil Connery, his brother, and just use him if we can?’”

Unfortunately, Neil died just seven months after Sean Connery.

“But it would have been so cool,” said Millar. “That would have been great to see those guys actually standing together in real life.”

Much like the recent real-life Spider-Man meme, this would have been a real moment for the fans, and Millar doesn't think it would have been too much work to bring together.

“You could have shot it in an hour,” he explained. “You could have had them standing around a table, and the idea was that you have this Kingsman whiskey that they toast, and then the camera pans round and you see Colin [Firth] or Taron [Egerton], I can’t remember who it was going to be, and it was just the next generation of super spies.

"And it would have really annoyed [Bond producers] the Broccolis!”

It certainly would have been an incredible tease for Kingsman. Of course, not bringing the teaser together hasn't hurt the series, and the Kingsman franchise could be getting even bigger with several films being planned by Matthew Vaughan.
