[E3 2015] Freedom isn’t Free in ‘Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst’
It’s been too long since I last wall-ran toward an unsuspecting goon so I could jump kick him in the back of his stupid head because I’m a parkour master and while that doesn’t give me a license to kill, it does give me a license to kick… hard. Kicking is but one of a myriad things we can expect to do lots of in Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst, which I hear has the most realistic kicking mechanics that have ever been or ever will be in video games.
That’s not true. I’m sure Catalyst has fantastic kicking, but it’ll be tough to beat the full-body dropkick I used to clear countless rooftops of their ghouls in Dying Light.
Did I mention Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is finally embracing its destiny as an open-world game, and that it won’t have loading screens, because Faith doesn’t have time for that last-gen garbage? This means the only wait time it’ll force on us is the one that stands between us and its February 23, 2016 release date.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
