Marvel Snap, the hit mobile card game that recently got an official release, just started its next season. To coincide with the release of the new Marvel Cinematic Universe film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the digital card game just got an influx of Black Panther content, including new cards and locations..
Marvel Snap‘s various seasons bring new locations, rewards, cards, variants, and avatars. This season is no different, as it introduces many new additions inspired by the Black Panther series. Dubbed “Warriors of Wakanda,” the latest update’s crown jewel is the Black Panther card. This new card has the ability to double its power on reveal, making it a great fit with buff cards like Okoye and Nakia and others like Wong, Onslaught, Taskmaster, and more.
The update brings several new locations too, which can significantly change rounds. One of those new zones hasn’t showed up during play yet, so its ability is a bit of a question mark. The new locations are:
Like other seasons, the new battle pass also includes many chances to farm more gold, credits to upgrade your card collections, and boosters to level up cards.
While there may be plenty of issues with slow card collection progression and time sinking, Marvel Snap is enjoying early success with over 5 million downloads in its first 10 days alone. You can now download Marvel Snap on mobile devices and PC using Steam or the Bluestacks Android emulator.
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
