Like its predecessor, Rocketbelt shoots out rockets that can damage enemies, but the rockets now deal more damage, and it gives champions bonus movement speed for 2 seconds. This works well with Vlad because he can activate Rocketbelt's ability while in his blood pool, and thanks to the movement speed, he can start a team fight while unleashing his whole co

While it's still unknown whether these next three releases will aid or oppose the Ruined King, future champions will be much more involved in the overarching story rather than just staying in their home regions. Additionally, this opens the way for even more lore characters to become champions which Riot expressed a renewed interest in doing for the past few ye

While the Ruined King's rampage may ultimately not touch every single lore character mentioned in the past, this plotline that unfolds during Season 11 will set the standard for many years to come. With years of foreshadowing finally coming to a head, Viego's story is truly the greatest undertaking that Riot Games has done for League of Legends

At the end of last year, Riot Games announced an effort to expand the League of Legends IP beyond its MOBA roots. Acquiring and partnering with several third-party studios, Riot Games' new initiative for its 10th anniversary has spawned a League of Legends fighting game, a popular FPS called Valorant , a collectible card game called Legends of Runeterra , and even a business/management sim for LoL esports. The League of Legends universe will soon reach far beyond the base game into a ton of new gaming experiences, a sentiment that Respawn Entertainment recently expressed with the hit battle royale Apex Legends as w

Considering Apex Legends takes place within the larger Titanfall universe , there's already plenty of lore for expanded games to draw from. With the IMC/Milita conflict chronologically occurring decades before the events of Apex Legends , a lot has already happened. It is possible additional spin-offs could return with another Titanfall game, whether it's a prequel or sequel, to detail further events of the Frontier War. There's also plenty of potential in the Apex Legends storyline, outside of the battle royale's existing lore. Character-specific stories like a stealth-oriented/ Hitman -style game for Revenant, or perhaps a single-player first-person shooter detailing Bangalore's time with the IMC Armed Forces, these could certainly do well for Apex Legends fans in the right cont

In the upcoming 11.2 patch, a new Ruined thematic will arrive featuring skins for Karma, Draven, and Shyvana. While many past skinlines are from alternate versions of Runeterra , Riot has confirmed these Ruined skins are canon to the main universe. As such, these skins reflect the champions' current states after being corrupted by Viego's po

Half-Life: Alyx is one of the highest-rated VR games of 2020. Just like the original games set a standard in narrative-based first-person shooters, Half-Life: Alyx has done the same in the world of virtual reality. While there was certainly excitement when the game was first revealed, there was also some doubt. Many wondered if the game would be a fully-fledged title and not a half-baked VR experience. The first gameplay trailer puts all doubts to bed. The trailer drops directly into eerie gameplay with all the environmental story-telling that Valve is known for with this series, and it never lets

The first movie on Marvel Studios' 2021 schedule is Black Widow . Scarlett Johansson's long-awaited solo MCU film is slated to be released in theaters on May 7, 2021. It was supposed to launch Phase 4 in May 2020, but Marvel delayed the movie multiple times due to the status of the theater industry. Since Natasha Romanoff died in Avengers: Endgame , her movie will be a prequel that continues her story after Captain America: Civil War . Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) , Red Guardian (Kumail Nanjiani), Iron Maiden (Rachel Weisz), and Taskmaster will all be introduced in Black Wid

Perhaps it'd be interesting to see how the Apex Legends community responds to the idea of spin-off titles, and whether it'd be a worthy venture for K'sante Abilities guide Respawn Entertainment and/or EA. At a glance, Apex Legends and Titanfall bring enough to the table lore-wise for this to be absolutely possible, but it's a matter of gauging whether the interest is there. Somehow mixing the whimsical nature of Apex Legends ' lore with the seriousness of Titanfall could be an interesting experim

Marvel Studios' third movie in 2021 will be Eternals . The new MCU franchise follows a group of superhumans known as Eternals who were created by the powerful cosmic entities known as Celestials.

The rest of the cast includes Kumail Nanjiani, Lauren Ridloff, Brian Tyree Henry, Salma Hayek, Lia McHugh, Don Lee, Angelina Jolie, Barry Keoghan, and Kit Harington. Eternals is directed by Chloe Zhao and comes out on November 5, 2
