The End is coming to Minecraft, as in the end of the beginning of a period of time where Minecraft for Windows 10 and mobile devices was significantly out of sync with the Java PC-based original version. Also, The End, as in the most glaring omission from the mobile / Windows 10 versions, the realm where among other things there’s a dragon in wait.

It’s called The Ender Update, or “version 1.0,” and it’s due later this month. Mojang and Microsoft released a trailer Thursday to celebrate the fact, as w…

Avatar 3 may have skipped Comic-Con 2024, but it’s out in force for D23. Director James Cameron and stars Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana took the stage to share the first details for Avatar 3, which now has an official name. It will be called Avatar: Fire and Ash.

Because the film is still too early in its post-production, there wasn’t any new footage to show off. However, Cameron and company did show a sizzle reel of production art before revealing the title of the film. Come from South African Online Casinos

“I can’t wait to show you what we’ve been creating for Avatar 3,” said Cameron. “Everyday when I’m reviewing new shots when they’re coming in from the VFX folks, it’s like Christmas m…

Out of the dozens of possible mods in Minecraft, there are a handful that can be ridden as a mount. However, there are some misconceptions when it comes to the process of acquiring a saddle in Minecraft. In the guide below, you can see all the possible ways to obtain a saddle and how to use it to ride mounts around the world.

How to make a Saddle in Minecraft

Let’s start with the biggest misconception concerning saddles. Unfortunately, it is not possible to craft any kind of saddle in Minecraft. No matter what materials you find and combine together, none of them will make a saddle. This has always been slightly confusing to the player base, as you’d think that a combination of leather and some other materials would be enough to craft the item.

Mafia: The Old Country not only takes players back in time to the early 1900s, but also to a new place in Sicily. Game director Alex Cox recently talked about why the team at Hangar 13 chose that setting and time for the new Mafia game after the latest entries were set in later time periods of mob history.

Cox said in an interview with Xbox that while the first three Mafia games explored different eras of the American mafia, the team “loved the idea of heading to Sicily and exploring the early years of this fearsome crime organization.”

For comparison, the original Mafia took place in the 1930s, with Mafia II picking up in the 1940s. Mafia III, meanwhile, was set in the late 1960s.

Cox went on to say that making The Old Country has been a “refreshing departure” for Han…

Ubisoft has confirmed the title, setting, and release window of the next piece of DLC for Tom Clancy’s The Division 2. It’s titled Battle for Brooklyn and will be released before the end of 2025.

The Division 2 was released in 2019 and has seen a healthy amount of post-launch support from Ubisoft since then. 2020’s Warlords of New York DLC brought the series back to Manhattan, the setting of the first game in the series. Ubisoft had previously teased that a DLC set in Brooklyn was in the works for Year 6 of support, but it faced a series of delays as Ubisoft focused on other aspects of the game.

As recently as January 28, Ubisoft told players that the DLC would not ship during the Year 6 series of seasonal updates “to ensure we deliver the best possible experience.” While th…
