Fortnite has not had a sizeable concert in-game since the Ariana Grande Tour in 2021, this however, seems to be about to change to some extent by the 2nd of December 2023.

Fortnite leaks that have come to light ahead of the upcoming Fortnite OG Live Event Finale have revealed that Eminem will be coming to Fortnite as part of the finale event. Eminem? I know, we can't believe it ourselves.

It would seem that the Eminem performance will not be the only appearance in the finale but will instead be part of a larger whole, including a Racing Mode, Lego partnership and Rhythm Mode.

According to HypeX's report, the filesize alone for this Fortnite OG event is 1.5GB by itself which is the biggest event by filesize.

So far we know that there will be three Eminem variants which will be the following:

The old Slim Shady

A few days ago Sony had announced that they will be increasing the prices of their Playstation Plus memberships across the board. This change is very controversial and has a lot of people upset, especially PS Plus Premium holders (like myself) who haven't seen too many 'classics' put on the service to justify the $120 price tag, much less the new $160 price tag.

Here are the new prices for PlayStation Plus 12-month subscription plans.

PlayStation Plus Essential 12-Month Subscription
79.99 USD | 71,99 Euro | 59.99 GBP | 6,800 Yen

PlayStation Plus Extra 12-Month Subscription
134.99 USD | 125,99 Euro | 99.99 GBP | 11,700 Yen

PlayStation Plus Premium 12-Month Subscription
159.99 USD | 151,99 Euro | 119.99 GBP | 13,900 Yen

The new prices for the 12-Month subscription will remain at a discounted rate when compared to purchasing the 1-Month or 3-Month subscriptions over a 12-month period.

For current 12-month subscribers, this price increase will not take...

Lollipop Chainsaw was a hack-n-slash game by Suda51 revolving around a teenage girl named Juliet Sterling, a cheerleader who is also part of a family of zombie hunters.. A quirky game originally released on the Xbox 360 and PS3 on 2012 by Suda51. A remake is in the works by Dragami Games slated for a summer 2024 release under the name of Lollipop Chainsaw: RePop.

n a press release, Dragami Games stated that while the team’s intention was to aim for a 2023 release for RePOP, “our commitment to providing the best possible quality experience to our players led us to making the hard decision to extend the development period in order to ensure this. We sincerely apologize to all who had been waiting for the latest installment in the Lollipop Chainsaw series, and kindly ask for your understanding in this matter.”

Xbox has announced a friend referral program for Game Pass, however, there's a catch, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass members give up to five friends a free 14-day PC Game Pass trial. Invited friends must be new to Game Pass to redeem the free trial. The invited user must have never had game pass prior to accepting the invitation to join Game Pass. In our opinion, this makes sense, however, we can't help but feel like this is something Xbox should have had going not long after the launch of game pass. The people who are on game pass now or most xbox/PC gamers have probably had game pass at some point in the past. It's hard to say who this would benefit at this point in time, but it's cool they're doing this nontheless. Each free trial/referred friend will get all the perks of Game Pass Ultimate it seems, so they can enjoy it on both console & PC. As per xbox.com - for new...

It would seem that the dreams of the deal Microsoft placed to take over Activision and Blizzard may not be just that, a dream. A UK ban has been put in place by the government of the UK due to concerns that it would impact and alter the future of the cloud gaming market and would result in UK gamers having fewer choices in the years to come.

Many are asking if Call of Duty may have been the main trigger that resulted in the UK ban on the takeover and it would seem, that may very well be the case. Sony who owns PlayStation had already voiced their concerns over Microsoft taking over Activision and Blizzard and that they could use their ownership of the two companies to withhold the game from PlayStation or even harm the console market. Microsoft had reassured console companies and even struck a deal to say this would not happen and that Call of Duty would be available on other platforms for at least 10 years. Nintendo was happy with the deal by Sony was not which is why they...

Call of Duty has been a yearly release since 2006, much like Madden, NHL and other sports titles. Over the years it's had it's ups and downs with it's games, some were big hits, others were bad misses, the past 4 or so years have been a mixed bag for Call of Duty, with the introduction of Warzone, traditional 6 versus 6 multiplayer has taken a serious hit in quality. However, this year was supposed to be the first of a 2 year cycle where the developers would focus on their game for a full 2 years. However, it now seems that Activision has decided to scrap that idea and instead of releasing a full year of content in 2023 for Modern Warfare II, the current active title in the series, it appears they have already abandoned it in favor of working on the next premium title for 2023. Call of Duty 2023 is set to be developed by Sledgehammer Games, the developer who last gave us Call of Duty Vanguard. One of the worst selling games in the franchise, which released in a mess of a...

Google has officially confirmed that Stadia is coming to an end. You can expect it to close January 18th, 2023.

Google plans to issue refunds to anyone who purchased any Stadia hardware through the Google Store alongside games and addons. The refunds will be expected to be issued come mid January. You can check out their Stadia FAQ by visiting this link

From their official blog:

“A few years ago, we also launched a consumer gaming service, Stadia. And while Stadia’s approach to streaming games for consumers was built on a strong technology foundation, it hasn’t gained the traction with users that we expected so we’ve made the difficult decision to begin winding down our Stadia streaming service.” Employees on the Stadia team will be distributed to other parts of the company.

Could the meme be coming to MultiVersus? Warner Bros filed a trademark for the Bugs Bunny meme recently. Many seem to think that it is for MultiVersus, but at this time it hasn't been confirmed.

As reported by VGR's Andrew Marmo, the company filed a trademark claim for the image of an inflated Bugs Bunny under the name Big Chungus.



Fans of the multiplayer game are convinced this implies the meme is coming sometime in the future. Big Chungus also appeared in Looney Tunes World of Mayhem and was a playable character in the mobile game.



So does this mean we'll see him in MultiVersus? We'll have to wait to find out.

The Super Smash Bros creator revealed on Twitter that he is now a YouTuber. The channel name is “Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games.”

Sakurai explains he won't be streaming any games on the channel, but will be discussing topics like game dev, and what makes video games fun.

“I’m often asked to give lectures at game development schools, and while I think it’s a great idea, such presentations can only reach so many people.” He continues, “I’ve also realized that developer conferences like GDC or CEDEC, while good for technical concepts aren’t always the best forums for discussing design theory.”

He mentioned keeping his videos short in between 2-5 minutes long, and the channel is his personal project so he will not be making money off of this. He'll have both Japanese and English versions of his videos on the YouTube channel. He also will show off Super Smash Bros dev builds and design documents he wrote himself. He has to run the idea by Nintendo before he can...

Sony just unveiled the Dualsense Edge. Sony's take on a pro-style controller akin to Microsoft's Elite Series controllers. The dualsense edge appears to have customizable analog sticks, back paddles and triggers. This is what we know so far:

● Ultra-customizable controls: You can make the DualSense Edge wireless controller uniquely yours by remapping or deactivating specific button inputs and fine-tuning your aim by adjusting stick sensitivity and dead zones (the distance your analog stick moves before it’s recognized in a game). In addition, each trigger is adjustable with options to tailor travel distance and dead zones to your preference. For example, you can manually reduce travel distance of the triggers for faster inputs in competitive FPS games or reduce the dead zone for precise throttle control in racing games.



● Ability to save multiple control profiles: Once you’ve found your ideal control...

Elon Musk has finalized his bid to purchase Twitter today and Twitter has accepted his offer. He is now the sole owner of Twitter Inc. Musk has purchased Twitter under the guise of protecting Free Speech. We will have to wait and see what happens going forward but people seem to be torn about this acquisition. Revillution has never been a political website, nor will it ever be, but it does seem people on one particular side of the political aisle are very unhappy about Elon buying Twitter and taking it 'private'. We will just have to wait and see what happens. Could we see the unbanning of certain figures in the future? Could we potentially see new features people have been asking for, such as an edit button? What would you like to see from the social media platform going forward?

What do you think of Elon Musk buying Twitter for 43 Billion in cash?

It would seem that Discord, Apple and Facebook have all accidentally given user data over to hackers who were posing as law enforcement. The demands were forged to look genuine and they reportedly came from authentic email accounts. Facebook and Apple are said to have handed over basic details such as address, phone number and IP Address where Discord was said to have handed over the internet address history of Discord accounts tied to a specific phone number

Snapchat was also targeted by the hackers but it is unknown if they handed anything over that was requested at this time.
