Fortnite uses the force to add Obi-Wan Kenobi to its roster

DeAngelo Epps

Fortnite just finished celebrating Star Wars Day by returning skins, weapons, emotes, and gliders from the film series to the item shop for two weeks. Now, another character from a galaxy far far away is joining the battle royale. Obi-Wan Kenobi is getting turned into a skin to coincide with the release of Disney+’s series featuring the Jedi.

The Obi-Wan skin is being added a day before the release of the Disney+ series. The new skin can be purchased individually or with an entire bundle of the Jedi’s swag that will most likely appear in the show.

The items are Obi-Wan’s dessert essentials backpack, a blade pickaxe, the Jedi Interceptor glider, and Obi-Wan’s message emote. Each of these items comes included in the Obo-Wan bundle, which adds a special loading screen, or players can pick and choose which they’d like to purchase instead.

Sadly, there’s no lightsaber pickaxe to be seen, as many were expecting. This is most likely due to the force-user weapon of choice being an in-game weapon that can be found whenever Epic decides to un-vault them, as it did recently for Star Wars Day.

It’s also possible to unlock the Obi-Wan skin and back bling backpack early. For the competitive Fortnite crowd, there is the upcoming online competition on May 22 called the “Obi-Wan Cup.” Competitors play up to ten matches and if enough points are reached by the time the event ends, they unlock the items early.

Obi-Wan Kenobi’s item bundle hits the Fortnite item shop for purchase on May 26.

wo long fallen dynasty releases march 3 2023

The main campaign of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is already packed with content right out of the gate, but Team Ninja has opted to expand upon an already substantial offering with DLC. Similar to the game's first additional content drop, Battle of Zhongyuan, the game's second DLC, Conqueror of Jiangdong, brings extra levels and difficulty settings, a new weapon you can wield against your foes, plenty of armor to grind for, and even an entirely new endgame activity. When you're ready to dive in and get at it, here's how to start Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's Conqueror of Jiangdong DLC.
How to start the Conqueror of Jiangdong DLC
Before you can begin the Conqueror of Jiangdong DLC, you'll need to first buy the content via your platform's respective storefront either as a standalone purchase or as part of the Season Pass. You can then download the small patch that unlocks the DLC's levels and other goodies in-game. The next step is to open the game and load up your save.

In order to access the Conqueror of Jiangdong missions, you'll have to first be sure you've progressed far enough into the game's main campaign to have completed the ninth mission "Darkness over the Hanshui River." Afterward, you should notice that an additional section called “Ex 2” is available in your missions list. By scrolling over to it, you can begin tackling all of the new content, which includes multiple main missions and sub-battlefields that are exclusive to the DLC.

Should you pull for Fu Xuan in Honkai: Star Rail 1.3?

Fu Xuan might be small, but she is mighty. The pink-haired woman leads the Xianzhou Luofu's Divination Commission and represents one of the Six Charioteers, the six leaders of the Xianzhou Luofu. Known as the Master Diviner, she has a reputation as one of the most powerful figures onboard the ship. A character's role doesn't necessarily translate to how well they perform in battle. Thankfully, in Fu Xuan's case, it does.

Fu Xuan is the latest 5-star character to debut in Honkai: Star Rail 1.3. You only get so much Stellar Jade through your daily activities, so it's important to save it for the most worthy characters to stay free to play. Here’s what you need to know to decide if Fu Xuan is worth that investment.

How to beat the Green Monster of the Swamp in Lies of P
The green monster of the swamp in a swamp.

People are drawn to challenging games like Lies of P for a variety of reasons. Some enjoy the atmosphere, the storytelling, the exploration, and more, but for many, it is the bosses that make or break the experience. Without a doubt, Lies of P delivers on providing the kinds of challenging bosses fans of other soulslike games are after, but some may push things a bit too far. By the time you've reached the Barren Swamp, the game fully expects you to have mastered all the mechanics, weapons, Legion Arms, and more. At this point, you will be faced with the Green Monster of the Swamp. This boss's patterns are incredibly hard to read, plus it can inflict you with Decay if you're not careful. If this creature from the swamp is giving you grief, here's how to best this foul beast in Lies of P.
Green Monster of the Swamp strategy

The Green Monster of the Swamp fight will have two phases, the first of which it will bear the normal name. To most easily counter this form, you will want a Legion Arm or weapon that can deal fire damage, which is its elemental weakness. For yourself, equip something like the Defense Parts that buff your resistances, as well as Attribute Resistant Ampoules and Purification Ampoules to counter any Decay.
