Jon Snow back in Game of Thrones, Season 6 poster

We all are aware of the shocking ending of Game of Thrones season 5. And most of the fans remained with the same unanswered questions: Is Jon Snow still alive? Will he return in Season 6? Will we see him again in Game of Thrones? The Night’s Watch commander was stabbed by his “brothers” and left him die. Even though we did not get a solid confirmation about Jon Snow’s fate, the official Twitter account of the Game of Thrones series released the first Season 6 poster. And who’s on the poster? Yep, Jon Snow.

Until now, there have been a lot of rumors, speculations, even proof that Jon Snow is alive and also proof that he may be dead. In September, some photos have been published on the Internet which showed Kit Harrington on the Northern Ireland set. Some speculations say that the Red Priestess, Melissandre (Carice van Houten) will use her supernatural powers to bring Jon Snow back to life. However, the series creators/director David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have specified several times that Jon Snow is dead, end of story. Even the beloved author,  George R. R. Martin teased us several times that Jon Snow is not really dead but fans didn’t get a solid confirmation, still waiting for the sixth book of the series, The Winds of Winter. 

This first poster of Game of Thrones Season 6 also teases us that the debut of the series will be sometime next April on HBO, but again, they haven’t given us an exact release date. If George R.R. Martin doesn’t manage to finish the sixth book before April, Season 6 will be the first season that will debut before the book gets published. The producers have been very secretive regarding new characters and new cast members. However, people who love this series cannot be stopped and managed to find out some new cast members.

Ian McShane will be one of the new cast members in an unspecified role. Euron Greyjoy, the uncle of Alfie Allen’s Theon Greyjoy will be played by Pilou Asbæk. A very recent rumor also says that Spartacus: Vengeance star Joseph Naufahu will be a part of the Game of Thrones series playing a Dothraki warrior. Furthermore, Bran, played by Isaac Hempstead-Wright and Hodor played by Kristian Nairn will return. Other characters that will return in Season 6 of Game of Thrones are Brynden Tully ( Clive Russell) who was last seen in the Red Wedding episode and Yara Greyjoy ( Gemma Whelan), Theon’s sister.

Until we find out new stuff about the upcoming season of the Game of Thrones series, check out this awesome poster with Jon Snow.

Battle Pass for Crash Team Rumble is not necessary to unlock new characters; the upcoming closed beta

The competitive multiplayer spinoff of Crash Team Rumble, which will be available on both the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will debut on June 20. A closed beta for the game will be held in the coming weeks, and the good news that character unlocks won’t be dependent on Battle Pass progress was just revealed.

Publisher Activision made its intentions very clear in a lengthy blog post, writing, “New heroes and powers will be unlocked through in-game challenges rather than being connected to the Battle Pass because we want every player to have a balanced experience while enjoying the N. Sane fun that Crash Team Rumble has to offer.” “For those who wish to get a WUMP on the season’s newest looks, Battle Passes will solely reward cosmetic goods; however, cosmetics will still be earnable through participation in seasonal events.”

Those who preorder the platformer/battle royale mix can take part in a limited beta between April 20 and 24. For those who want to jump right in, online matches against other players and practice matches versus AI bots will be offered.

How does Crash Team Rumble strike you? Will you participate in the closed beta test?

Indie Not on PlayStation Wins BAFTA Game of the Year, Beating PS5, PS4’s Greatest Hits

God of War Ragnarok and Elden Ring were both beaten out for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best Game by a tiny little independent title called Vampire Survivors, which isn’t even accessible on PlayStation systems. Do you really believe that?

Putting all lightheartedness aside, Vampire Survivors was something of a phenomenon in 2022, and you would have to be living under a rock (or live offline) to have missed it. It burst into prominence and eventually became a favorite among industry insiders. A fiendishly addictive fundamental gameplay loop hides beneath a deceptively simple exterior, earning developer Luca Galante, aka Poncle, this year’s BAFTA for Game Design as well as another honor.

There hasn’t been any news of the mega-hit coming to PlayStation as of yet, so there’s probably some sort of exclusivity agreement in place or anything else blocking it. Perhaps one day we will be granted access to it, but until then, console yourself with one of the numerous high-end games on our preferred platform, such as The Last of Us, which won Best Game back in 2014.

In slightly related news, Shuhei Yoshida, a PlayStation legend, received a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest honor bestowed by the organization.

What do you think about the Vampire Survivors’ victory—do you believe it was well-deserved or totally absurd?

While we felt Crusader Kings 3: Console Edition was fantastic when it was launched on the PS5 last year, we were only able to play the base game. We are incredibly grateful that the great Royal Court extension will be coming to consoles. This is a regal proclamation that we could not be more delighted to make.

It’s pretty difficult to switch back after you’ve experienced the conveniences and enhancements that Royal Court offers to the well-stocked table, as anyone who has played Crusader Kings 3 on PC knows. It’s not just for show; players will be able to use trophies and priceless pieces of art to adorn their throne room, which adds a minor RPG system to an already magnificently complex adventure.

If you haven’t already and like the basic Crusader King’s experience, we highly encourage you to give Royal Court a try. This expansion is the ideal reason to jump back in for another round of backroom maneuvering. Are you going to create your own royal court?
