Not much news going on today. It’s mostly just things I didn’t report on yesterday, to be honest. Here is that news.
- Fortnite/Infinity War Promotional Mashup
- The Kinect Lives On
- Pokemon Go Fest is Back
Fortnite: Infinity Wars
The popular battle royale game has it’s first licensed promotional event, called the “Infinity Gauntlet Limited Time Mashup.” Here’s how it works.
When you enter a the solo-only game mode, a meteor will fall within the safe zone. This meteor will have the Infinity Gauntlet. Whoever claims the gauntlet first will transform into Thanos. Should Thanos be defeated in battle, they will drop the gauntlet, leaving it ripe for the picking by someone else.
The Kinect
Microsoft recently announced that the Kinect technology will live on in a project called Azure. This will integrate the hardware into their cloud computing system for the development of better AI. They also stated that a new generation connect will help provide a better HoloLens experience. To be honest, it’s all a bit out of my scope, So you may want to read this article if you want a better understanding of what’s it’s all about.
Pokemon Go Fest 2: The Refestening
Despite the otherwise disaster of last year’s Pokemon Go Fest, developer Niantic has announced that they’re doing it again. Taking place in Chicago from July 14 to July 15. Pokémon GO Fest 2018: A Walk in the Park is already in the works for those wanting to attend. A representative has stated that while it’s a two-day event, players can only purchase one day. This is to promote more people from being able to participate in the events and festivities. You can find more information about this on their website.
That’s all for today. Thanks for reading! Check back tomorrow for more news, views, and some jazzy blues (not really). Otherwise, have a great day!
