Released in November 2024, just ahead of the holidays, the Minion Prince is the fifth hero in Clash of Clans. It was briefly teased by Supercell before the release as “Undisclosed Character” and “Private Investigator.” Being the only hero that can defend as an aerial unit, Minion Prince stands out from the four previous heroes. He is the fifth hero overall, and there are four hero slots in battles—which means that players now have more possible combinations of Heroes to choose from. Upgrading a hero leaves them out of the team, so having five heroes means you can have a full team while upgrading as well. View the full article

Roblox’s stylish dodgeball minigame, Blade Ball, is cutting into Thanksgiving 2024 with a brand-new Thanksgiving Event that adds holiday-themed activities for players to feast on. The festive event arrived alongside a stuffed V6.4 update that originally made its way to players last weekend. Although the event itself kicked off a few days ago, there’s never been a better time to ***** in and see what turkey-themed activities there are to enjoy. Roblox Blade Ball players can access the Thanksgiving Event themselves by keeping an eye out for the turkey NPC in the lobby. Those who manage to spot a turkey in their games can be granted Turkey Coins and unlock unique rewards. It’s an event filled with distractions to keep competitors busy with additional quests, daily rewards, a shop, and more. V6.4 also introduces a few other changes to keep players bouncing back. Crown Clash, for example, is a game mode that can be voted for every five rounds and sees players trying to survive while carrying a crown for as long as possible. Win Streaks are another addition that will allow users to show off their win streak with a counter above their heads. Of course, developer Wiggity also introduced a few bug fixes and balance adjustments, including nerfs for Dragon Spirit and Phantom. The Blade Ball Thanksgiving Event started on November 23 and runs for two weeks. That means you’ve only got until December 7 to enjoy everything it has to offer. If you plan on using your Thanksgiving break to finally check out how the team at Wiggity celebrates the holidays, you can see our list of all active Blade Ball codes here to help set yourself up. You can also check out everything included in the Thanksgiving Event by reading the full V6.4 patch notes below.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 publisher Focus Entertainment has detailed the upcoming 5.0 update, and confirmed the game has sold five million copies. Patch 5.0, due out during the first half of December, makes the previously released Neo-Volkite ******* (the one players were using to recreate Ghostbusters) available in PvP. It also contains the hotly anticipated Dark Angels Chapter Pack, alongside another new Operation, called Obelisk. The Dark Angels Chapter Pack features the Dark Angels Champion, which is a unique armour set and banner for the Bulwark Class. As confirmed in a forum post, three weapons also receive exclusive visuals based on the Dark Angels Chapter: the Auto Bolt Rifle, the Plasma *******, and the Power Sword. The Bulwark class also gets a unique Dark Angels Storm Shield. The Dark Angels Chapter Pack includes the heraldry items of the Second Foundings and Successor Chapters of the Dark Angels: the Angels of Absolution, the Angels of Redemption, the Angels of Vengeance, the Unnamed, the Blades of Vengeance, the Cowled Wardens, the Bringers of Judgement and the Angels of Defiance. And new armor pieces will also be added, including the Mark VIII Ravenwing helmet. All these items will be available to unlock as part of a heraldry cosmetic. Patch 5.0 also adds ****** lenses to the customization menu, which fans have called for ever since Space Marine 2’s explosive launch in September. You’ll be able to choose from 15 different colors. The new Operation, Obelisk, sends players to Demerium. You need to rotate a replica of the obelisk to disrupt the flow of energy protecting the Aurora device. To reach the console control of the obelisk, you’ll have to make it through a tomb plunged into darkness. This operation takes place in parallel to the final events of the campaign, Focus said. As fans had spotted via a previously released trailer, this new Operation adds the Tzaangor Enlightened, a new Majoris ******. In fact, the Tzaangor Enlightened will appear in every PvE Operation with Chaos. And finally, Patch 5.0 adds Frame Generation DLSS and FSR 3 support. It’s worth noting that Patch 5.0 will bring the announced mods block to public PvE sessions. Mods will remain available to use in private PvE sessions, however. Meanwhile, Saber has finally confirmed Space Marine 2’s PS5 Pro specs, although it will come as some disappointment to see that the game does not run at 60 frames per second in Quality Mode even on Sony’s $700 mid-gen console refresh. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 PS5 Pro specs: Quality mode Standard PS5 Resolution: 1080p - 1440p with upscale FSR to 4KFramerate: 30fps PS5 Pro Resolution: 1080p - 2160p with upscale PSSR to 4KFramerate: 30fps Performance Mode Standard PS5 Resolution: 720p - 1080p with upscale FSR to 4KFramerate: 60fps PS5 Pro Resolution: 1080p - 1440p with upscale PSSR to 4KFramerate: 60fps It’s a busy time for Space Marine 2, with its story set to continue in Amazon’s Secret Level anthology series, set to hit Prime Video on December 10. To coincide with the Space Marine 2 animation’s release, exclusive rewards will be available from December 10 to December 31 through Twitch drops. In September, Saber Chief Creative Officer Tim Willits told IGN how the breakout success of Space Marine 2 had “changed everything” for the company. Eagle-eyed fans have spotted the Space Marine chapter now all-but confirmed to get a cosmetic pack after the Dark Angels, too. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.
