Footy Scran is an account that tweets out pictures of food people have bought in, or just outside of, football stadiums. It will always include the name of the meal, the club responsible for it, and the price. That tweet is then usually followed by a second, polling followers with the all-important question: scran; no scran? It’s also so much more. One: Footy Scran is tourism. It’s a travel show distilled into single, five-word tweets, because good travel shows are cooking shows and good cooking shows are travel shows, ultimately....

As announced previously, Overwatch 2 will not contain any loot boxes, with items instead made available for purchase directly instead. Writing in a reddit AMA last night, Blizzard explained that any unopened loot boxes would be automatically redeemed ahead of Overwatch 2’s launch. “We are not transitioning loot boxes into Overwatch 2, and ahead of launch, any unopened loot boxes will be automatically opened with your account receiving all the contents directly,” Blizzard wrote....

The code in question is a string of scripting functions, as shared on reddit. It includes references to game elements like camera, graphics and cutscenes, as well as gangs and DLC. On its own, the leak isn’t particularly enlightening about the next game in the series, but Rockstar’s swift takedown proves the legitimacy of the recent leak. Watch on YouTube Eurogamer Newscast: Should you peek at Pokémon Scarlet and Violet leaks?...

Bloom first blossomed onto the iOS App Store and Google Play very early yesterday morning in Australia and Singapore. The game will continue to launch around the world in the coming days, Niantic has said, though today’s arrival in North America is a strong sign the app has left its soft-launch period behind. I’ve spent nearly a week with the app now while in its testing phase, and interviewed Niantic boss John Hanke on the game’s design, future, and co-existence with mega hit Pokémon Go....

The update ushers in two new difficulty levels, a new “yet unforgiving” biome, Desertum, which is said to offer “its own unique challenges”, and new survivor Sora Satoh, who boasts “enhanced combat skills and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures”. You can check out details about the new content below: That’s not all. There’ll also be three new moons - Jason, Nyx, and Chaos - with each one bringing “an influence on gameplay events”....

Actually, that’s Nova Pink, Galactic Purple, and Starlight Blue to be precise. Black (Midnight Black) and Red (Cosmic Red) console covers are already available, priced £44.99. The console covers will match controllers in the same colours already available, priced £64.99 each. That’s a fiver more expensive than the basic white. The covers will be released on 17th June, via the PlayStation Direct store first. If you’re yet to get the PS5 console itself, then check out our deals page....

These rewards are unlocked by performing AR scans to assist in levelling up certain PokéStops or Gyms. Keep an eye on the clock though - this empowerment has a deadline. This feature was originally trialed in New Zealand during October 2021, but it’s now available worldwide. Below you’ll learn how to power up a PokéStop or Gym and what requirements you must meet to do so. On this page: The first is that you must be Level 20 or higher to contribute to the powering process....

With the release of the extradimensional Ultra Beasts, this season continues the previous Season of Alola’s trend of releasing Gen 7 Pokémon. It also includes Go Fest 2022 and a crossover event with the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Like every season, the Season of Go also sees changes to the egg charts, seasonal spawns and which Pokémon are appearing in which hemisphere in Pokémon Go. On this page: Season 11 of the Go Battle League, including its traditional three leagues and special cups, will be running throughout this time period....

For two weeks in every Go Battle League in Pokémon Go each season, the Ultra League will be the focus - meaning you have to come up with the most effective team possible at under 2500 CP. The Ultra League is perhaps the most skill-testing of the three main Leagues. There is a much bigger pool of Pokemon to choose from than with the Great League, thanks to the higher CP limit....

There are eight in total, and with many methods for evolving, it’s not always easy to know how to get the right outcome from your Eevee. Each Eevee evolution has its own trick - as well as its own location in the wild - and this page will explain exactly what you’ll need to get Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Umbreon, Espeon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. On this page:...

Developer Krafton says the system, called Fog of War, “helps mask the movements of other players from cheaters using x-ray vision/wall hacks”, and states that during the testing period, cheating fell by 62 per cent in “certain regions”. “The first of its kind in mobile gaming, Fog of War is an advanced anti-cheat system that limits the game information a player receives, reducing their ability to see players out of their field of view or through walls and objects,” Krafton explains....

Unfortunately Purrloin, and its evolution Liepard, are actively bad in competitive play, and you wouldn’t want to use them in raids in Pokémon Go. Plus, the shiny form isn’t out yet, which means that this is either an opportunity to hunt the 4* perfect Pokémon, or lean into the special bonus that runs alongside this wiik’s Spotlight Hour – the double evolution XP bonus. On this page: Purrloin 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Purrloin with perfect IV stats....

A report by Solidaires Informatique, translated by Eurogamer, states Le Monde’s case had been weakened as it was unable to prove certain elements of its reporting without divulging the anonymity of its sources. Neither party has commented publicly on the judgement, and there’s no word yet on any terms. Mediapart, another French outlet sued by Quantic Dream for its reporting on the allegations, was completely cleared. Separate libel cases by Quantic Dream as a company against Le Monde and Mediapart also both failed....

It launches for PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on 16th September, with crossplay across all platforms. The name of the game is Extraction, and as you might expect, the aim of the game is to survive until… well, you are extracted. Who would have called this game anything else?! Our lovely Ian Higton has been extracting himself - you can watch a full round of gameplay featuring him above....

Whether you’re a fan of Battle League or battling in raids, this is going to be an exciting Spotlight Hour as its two final evolutions, Gardevoir and Gallade, are both pretty useful in Pokémon Go. So, if you’re still missing the a shiny or the 4* perfect Pokémon, this is your chance to try to find one, while also grinding the Candy and Candy XL you’ll need to max out your Pokémon....

Though the game doesn’t make a big song and dance about it, the good news is fast travel is in the game - though there is several caveats to how it works. If you haven’t unlocked fast travel yet, then there’s other ways of getting round the map as well - allowing you to reach far-off destinations as soon as the game world opens up. For more help, our Red Dead Redemption 2 walkthrough explains the requirements for fully completing the game’s many story missions....

Research includes various examples of children being asked by adult users to engage in explicit or inappropriate activities and perform dances or “dares” while live-streaming. After said streams have ended, the recordings are often viewed by hundreds of other accounts - far more than expected for small channels their size. The report suggests this is due to “hundreds” of accounts believed to be used by predators, which have collated follower lists each with “more than 1000 kids on their following lists”....

Dates for E3 2021 have been earmarked since last April, and while a physical event still hasn’t officially been ruled out, a report by VGC, based on pitch documents seen by the publication, suggests a digital event running 15-17th June is now the ESA’s favoured approach in 2021. According to VGC, the ESA is proposing an E3 2021 consisting of a preview night on 14th June, an award show, two-hour keynote sessions from games partners, and smaller streams from publishers, influencers and media partners....

Mark me down as a square, though, because I am pretty terrible at Rollerdrome, despite its efforts to convince me otherwise. Your job, as debutant Kara Hassan, the rookie outsider in a niche bloodsport that’s taking off in the worryingly not-distant 2030, is to sweep through the tournament and put a villainous rival in their place. There’s some nice framing here. Between stages Rollerdrome morphs into a miniature narrative game....

Sable: Design Works will be the first instalment from publisher Lost in Cult’s new series of indie-focussed art books. This particular release, which is due to launch in the second quarter of 2023, will feature interviews from those at developer Shedworks, as well as a “region-by-region insight” into the world of Midden and its art. The book itself will be split into two different sections, one that “charts the development of Sable from its early concept and prototype, through its production, to launch” and one that focuses exclusively on the artwork and visuals....
