The superheroes are eager to figure out what Daigo's up to and put a stop to his corruption spreading across the island in Fortnite. To help them learn more, you need to gather surveillance gear at Supernova Academy. Finding these items is decently tough since they're sitting on the ground at various specific locations around this vast POI. All of them are quite small and difficult to spot, so here's how to gather surveillance gear at Supernova Academy in Fortnite. Gather surveillance gear at Supernova Academy in Fortnite Screenshot by Destructoid To complete the gather surveillance gear at Supernova Academy, you need to obtain three pieces of surveillance gear from around this location. You're looking for three small items marked with white sparkles and a diamond icon with an exclamation point in it. These markers aren't displayed until you're decently close to them, so trying to determine where to start can be a bit tough. The easiest way to find the underground lair area is to start by visiting the Superman NPC at Supernova Academy. This POI is located near the very north end of the island, so start by traveling to it. Once you find the right location, look for Superman inside a building near the southeast end of the area. Close to where he hangs out, you'll find some stairs you can use to travel down to the secret bunker below. You can also just break the ground near him to fall down into the right area. All Supernova Academy surveillance gear locations Screenshot by Destructoid. Remix by Destructoid There are three pieces of surveillance gear you need to find for the Trials of Morgan Myst quests, all of which can be found at Supernova Academy. They're all hidden in the secret underground superhero lair near the southeast end of this POI. The surveillance gear stand is located near a conveyor belt underground by the Academy Tech Labs locked doors. It's right in the center of the room on the ground next to a bright orange chair. The surveillance gear screen is tucked away in a corner of the underground secret superhero lair, decently close to the surveillance gear stand. It's a flat ****** and blue item that's sitting on the ground by a white desk with a computer. It's also underneath a bright yellow sign that says, "Danger, high voltage." The surveillance gear recorder is by some desks and near the sign that's right outside the entrance to the underground lair. It's also by the stairs you can use to access this area, and a C Superhero Rank door. Screenshot by Destructoid Once you have all three items, you need to take them to ******'s Domain so you can set the surveillance gear up. This is the next step for Morgan Myst's quests, and it's a whole separate, tricky process to work through. There's plenty of other work to get done around the island after finishing this quest. Next, consider working on copying the actions of Morgan Myst’s shadow proxies, unlocking all Boons, finding ****** guards, and damaging Overlord Spires and Scout Spires.

New Genshin Impact 6.0 leaks about the Fatui Harbingers’ presence in Nod-Krai are being shared, and based on the rumored information, players will encounter several of the top-tier members of the faction once they move away from Natlan and into the southern reaches of Snezhnaya. Nod-Krai is confirmed to be the next destination on the Traveler’s expedition across Teyvat in search of their sibling. It has yet to be confirmed, but the release of Nod-Krai could extend Genshin Impact’s roadmap by a full year, since they are not yet heading into Snezhnaya entirely, as was previously announced by developer HoYoverse.

In Cities Skylines 2, the smallest things can make the biggest difference. When the city-building sequel was first revealed, the introduction of both roundabouts and a new road-building tool that let you create instant, symmetrical grids felt like the arrival of the Renaissance - finally, even in the grandest metropolis, traffic could flow freely. But the inverse is also true; even though they may seem minor, the absence of bicycles and bicycle lanes has become a persistent CS2 sore. Bridges and Ports may be delayed. Rivals like Transport Fever 3 and Worldwide Rush could be coming to steal its thunder. But Colossal Order isn't giving up on Cities Skylines 2, as a new update adds some essential building options that should improve your traffic and train networks. Read the rest of the story...

MindsEye developer Build a Rocket Boy has responded to the game's severe performance issues and bugs, promising another update that will aim to rectify the game's most prominent issues. MindsEyeis the first title from Build a Rocket Boy, a development studio that was opened in 2018 by former Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies. While many of Benzies' fans have been eagerly anticipating the developer's next game after his departure from Rockstar Games, MindsEye seems to have been a massive disappointment.

Lars Wingefors, founder of Swedish gaming company Embracer, is stepping down from his CEO role. Current deputy CEO Phil Rogers will assume the position from August 2025. Embracer, which oversees IPs like The Lord of the Ring, Dead Island, Metro, and Tomb Raider, is no stranger to change, of course. After making high-profile acquisitions like the purchase of Middle-earth Enterprises and Borderlands-maker Gearbox in 2022 and 2021, respectively, Embracer found itself in turmoil after a $2 billion deal with Savvy Games Group fell through. In the time since, the company has shut down Saints Row developer Volition Games, sold Gearbox, split from Space Marine 2 developer Saber Interactive, and overseen thousands of layoffs. Wingefors called the criticism and backlash to its missteps "painful." In April 2024, Embracer announced plans to split itself into three separate companies: Asmodee Group, Coffee Stain & Friends, and Middle-earth Enterprises & Friends to “unleash the full potential of each team and provide them with their own leadership and strategic direction.” The restructuring and closures saw 1,387 workers lose their jobs and 29 unannounced projects canceled. It recently announced plans to spin off Coffee Stain Group and renamed its The Lord of the Rings business Fellowship Entertainment. Wingefors isn't leaving Embracer entirely, however, and has been appointed executive chair of the board, with current chair Kicki Wallje-Lund moving to deputy chair. Wingefors will also be appointed director of the aforementioned Coffee Stain Group. "With the start of this new phase, I am thankful for the years and lessons learned as CEO of Embracer," Wingefors said in a statement (thanks, [Hidden Content]). "While the road has not always been straight, I am incredibly proud of the achievements made possible by our talented teams, which have created some incredible experiences for gamers. "This new phase allows me to focus on strategic initiatives, [mergers and acquisitions], and capital allocation, ensuring Embracer's continued growth and success. I am more convinced than ever that the best is still ahead of us. Having worked very closely with Phil over the past years, I have high confidence in his abilities. I look forward to a continued close collaboration to further strengthen the business and drive value in the coming years." Looking to the future, Embracer owns or controls over 450 franchises, with a long list of subsidiaries that includes THQ Nordic, Plaion, Coffee Stain, Amplifier Game Invest, DECA Games, Dark Horse, Freemode, and Crystal Dynamics – Eidos. It has 73 internal game development studios and over 7,000 staff.

Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has confirmed his upcoming game, Haunted Chocolatier, is "larger" than the already sizeable Stardew Valley. How much *******, or in which way it's *******? Sorry — Barone didn't elaborate. "The world of Haunted Chocolatier is larger than Stardew Valley" is the full extent of his message. If he's referring to the length of the game, however, How Long to Beat? has the average Stardew Valley playtime listed as over 50 hours for just the main story, and around 168 hours for a completionist run. Perhaps unsurprisingly, then, these 10 words sent a ripple of excitement through his fan communities, with one exclaiming: "[Concerned Ape] STOP TEASING. I MEAN- DONT STOP TEASING. I MEAN- IDK IM SO EXCITED BUT I DONT WANT U TO RUSH TAKE UR SWEET **** TIME WE LOVE U." Last month, Barone admitted that he "didn't want to just be the Stardew Valley guy," explaining that was why he's currently working on Haunted Chocolatier. We shouldn't expect a release date anytime soon, though — there's "still a lot to be done," Barone recently admitted, particularly as he feels it's "got to be better" than Stardew Valley. However, he also suggested that he may "eventually make a Stardew Valley 2." Before you get too excited, however, the developer also said it's "so much easier to just add more stuff to Stardew Valley than to make a whole new game from scratch." "It's all the systems — all the major systems — are already all done. That’s the stuff that’s not fun to do. When I make an update [for Stardew Valley now], it’s like, you know, oh, throw in this, throw in that. Let’s add green rain — like, these random, whimsical ideas." Barone announced Haunted Chocolatier back in 2021. Much like Stardew Valley, it will be a top-down pixel-based sim, and it looks to have much the same flavor as ConcernedApe's previous work.

More chatter has emerged about a new high-end AMD gaming GPU possibly waiting in the wings, with the latest rumors saying that the AMD Radeon RX 9090 XT is "40% faster" than AMD's current top-end graphics card, the Radeon RX 9070 XT. The new GPU is likened to the AMD Radeon VII, a high-end graphics card that AMD launched in 2019 to squeeze high-end performance out of its Vega architecture, with 16GB of high-speed HBM2 memory. Although the latest AMD GPUs aren't seeing any love in the May Steam Survey, we've been really impressed by their performance for the money. We even gave the top-end chip a score of 9/10 in our AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT review, earning it a place on our best GPU guide, although real-world pricing makes it a harder sell now.

Ian Proulx, the CEO of Splitgate 2 developers 1047 Games, has apologised for wearing a 'Make FPS Great Again' cap while talking about the game's battle royale mode on stage at Summer Game Fest. As you might have guessed, the hat drew unfavourable comparisons to US president Donald Trump's MAGA hats. It'd have been a pretty dumb, controversy-baiting stunt for a games company CEO to pull at any point in recent history, but especially hasn't gone over well given the timing. As the SGF show happened, a large number of anti-ICE protests also began in response to violent immigration raids, and later that weekend Trump deployed the National Guard onto the streets."

The developer of MindsEye has said it’s working to improve the game’s performance after a number of players took to Steam user reviews to complain. Build A Rocket Boy’s debut title launched on June 10 and has settled on a ‘mixed’ user review rating on Steam, where it also hit a peak concurrent player count of 3,302. Many of the negative reviews focus on MindsEye’s performance problems, which appear to be hitting PC gamers hard. There are also reports on various bugs, glitches, and NPC behavior oddities. My second combat encounter in #MindsEye... The AI has become self-aware and is now committing suicide: [Hidden Content] — Jesse Gomez @ IGN (@ItsJesseGomez) June 10, 2025 In response, Build A Rocket Boy issued a statement on the MindsEye subreddit, saying its engineering team is “working around the clock” to improve performance. Patch 3 will be revealed soon, it added. Here’s the statement in full: Thank you kindly to all of you who joined us as pioneers on day one! We understand that the current minimum spec requirements are very high, but our engineering team are working around the clock to improve performance on mainstream hardware as well as consoles by integrating the performance improvements in Unreal Engine V5.6. We will provide patch 3 update timing, including these improvements, within the next 24 hours. In addition to the main campaign, we would also value your thoughts on Build.Mindseye. MindsEye, led by former Rockstar North chief Leslie Benzies, has endured a tumultuous run-up to release. Last week, Build A Rocket Boy said fans should wait for MindsEye’s official launch rather than play it before its street date, after early copies made their way into the hands of players. "We want everyone to experience the story the same way at the same time on day one, without bias," Build A Rocket Boy said in a statement issued in response to early copies being played. "This means waiting until the official release date to play through the game firsthand." Mention of bias in the studio's statement sparked speculation that the company was referring back to comments made by its co-CEO Mark Gerhard, who suggested there had been a "concerted effort" to "trash the game and the studio" with negative social media posts from paid accounts or bots. IGN subsequently put this claim to Hakan Abrak, boss of Hitman developer IO Interactive, the company which is publishing MindsEye. His response: "I don't know. I don't believe that. I don't believe that. I just think the game should speak for itself on June the 10th." Physical copies of MindsEye also needed a “major” update for “key improvements to ensure MindsEye plays as we intended and to meet all the characters at their best.” And just days before MindsEye’s launch, Build a Rocket Boy’s Chief Legal Officer and Chief Financial Officer confirmed they had left the company, sparking concern from the studio’s fledgling community. Steam concurrents do not tell the whole story, of course. MindsEye launched on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S as well as PC, so its true concurrent player count will be higher than that reported on Valve’s platform. MindsEye carries a $59.99 price tag. At launch, there is a “tightly crafted linear story campaign,” and what’s called “single-player free roam,” but there are also a number of missions: a horde mode mission called “Destruction Site Shootout,” and two combat missions (“Honor Amongst Thieves” and “Friendly Fire”). Also at launch are six races, six checkpoint races, and three drone races. If you get the premium pass, you get an extra horde mode mission and an exotic cosmetics pack. Following launch, Build A Rocket Boy said it will deliver a “constant stream” of fresh premium content monthly, “ensuring MindsEye is a living, ever-expanding player experience.” This includes new missions, challenges, and game assets. “The continuous stream of studio-developed content, combined with the very best of the community’s own beautiful creations, means that MindsEye will continue to surprise and delight its players for decades to come,” Build A Rocket Boy added. Build A Rocket Boy also confirmed its 2025 roadmap of content. In the summer there will be community updates, new missions, in the fall new single-player modes, multiplayer, and new missions, and in the winter free roam updates and new missions. Premium pass owners get extra missions and new packs throughout. Wesley is Director, News at IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

Street Fighter 6 has now sold over 5 million copies, Capcom has announced. That’s up from the 4 million reported in September 2024. The latest sales milestone was helped by the fighting game’s launch on Nintendo Switch 2. Capcom said it aimed to “maximize the game’s userbase” by bringing Street Fighter 6, now two years old, to the Switch 2 at launch. The Switch 2 version has exclusive modes designed for the console, and new gameplay features that utilize the gyro functionality of the Joy-**** 2. It’s worth noting the Switch 2 version has crossplay, maximising the pool of players available for matchmaking. “These initiatives have contributed to Street Fighter 6’s wide appeal, expanded global sales and resulted in the title achieving the milestone of 5 million units sold,” Capcom said. Street Fighter 6 hit 3 million copies sold back in January 2024, seven months after launch. Capcom has said Street Fighter 6 is “generally progressing in line with our expectations,” but before launch it revealed it had aimed for the sequel to outsell Street Fighter 5, targeting over 10 million copies sold over the course of its lifetime. “While we do not communicate specific figures for internal budgets, we look to outperform the title’s predecessor, Street Fighter 5, and are aiming for more than 10 million units over the life of the title,” Capcom said. Street Fighter 6, then, still has a long way to go before it beats Street Fighter 5’s sales total. To put Street Fighter 6’s sales into context, 1993 SNES hit Street Fighter 2 Turbo sold 4.1 million copies, the seminal Street Fighter 2 sold 6.30 million, and Street Fighter 5 has sold 7.8 million. Another interesting comparison is with fighting game rival Mortal Kombat 1, which has also sold 5 million copies since going on ***** in September 2023. Mortal Kombat is typically the best-selling fighting game franchise, outselling the likes of Street Fighter and Tekken by some margin. But Mortal Kombat 1 is seen as a sales disappointment, and developer NetherRealm recently confirmed it had left it behind to work on its next project. Capcom, meanhwile, continues to support Street Fighter 6 into its third year, and recently announced a set of four brand new DLC characters: Sagat is out this summer; C. Viper this fall; Alex early spring 2026; and finally, Ingrid late spring 2026. The announcement was made in a trailer starring pro wrestler Kenny Omega, who dressed up as each DLC character. IGN's Street Fighter 6 review returned a 9/10. We said: "Street Fighter 6 is the most feature-rich a Street Fighter has ever been at launch, but even beyond that, it's roster of 18 characters is excellent, the new mechanics revitalize the one-on-one fighting formula, and it absolutely nails all of the little things that make for a stellar fighting game."
