The term “Souls-like” is one that’s only sprung about in the past few years as From Software’s Dark Souls series became wildly popular. Over time, we’ve seen more and more Souls-likes appear in the form of games like The Surge, Lords of the Fallen, and Nioh. However, the term has been, and can logically be, applied to titles like Cuphead for their enraging difficulty. Preceded by Demon’s Souls in 2009 and later cemented by the first entry in the Dark Souls franchise, a Souls-like can be roughly defined as a game designed to test a player’s limits in offering an extremely challenging yet rewarding experience....

Epic Games’ Fortnite could be getting a Battle Pass that gives the player every single season in one tidy bundle, instead of purchasing every season in the year individually (via Nintendo Life).

The Game Awards kicks off at 8.30pm EST or 1.30am GMT (cheers, Geoff). Fortnite is nominated for the Best Esports Game, Best Ongoing Game, and Best Community Support awards....

Season X’s time travel theme could well bring back a litany of named locations to Fortnite Island, including Tomato Town and Greasy Grove.
