The developers at Hi-Rez Studios have been quite busy with their Paladins multiplayer romp, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have room for another effort, especially one in the Battle Royale arena.
It’s announced that Realm Royale is available in Steam Early Access. It’s free to play with microtransactions, but it never hurts to give it a try and see what it’s like.
Hi-Rez is actually in the middle of a 120-hour livestream to celebrate the game’s launch, which you can watch here.
Here are the features for the game, straight from the Steam listing:
Choose your class. Forge a legend.
Explore a fantasy world in Realm Royale, the new Battle Royale inspired by the hit game Paladins. Are you an Assassin, a Warrior or a Mage? Choose your class, then loot fantastic weapons and magical abilities to create your own Champion. Stay ahead of the deadly fog by mounting up and moving out. Will you be the last Champion standing?
Wield Awesome Abilities
Choose from one of five classes before every match, each with its own game-changing abilities. Become a Warrior, chug a shielding potion, and leap into battle. Soar through the skies as a Mage, slinging fireballs. Take steady aim as a bow-wielding Hunter. Deploy turrets and shields as an Engineer. Or blink onto a rooftop and snipe your enemies as an Assassin.
Forge Legendary Weapons
Go traditional with shotguns and snipers, or embrace the fantasy with ice staffs, swords, and crossbows. If you want to win, you’ll need to craft Legendary Weapons at Forges scattered across the Realm. But be careful: While you’re crafting, your enemies may attack.
Mount Up. Explore the Realm.
Journey through the lush jungle of Jaguar’s Claws and the scorched sands of Goblin Gulch. Visit frigid Everfrost and iridescent Fungal Forest. The best part: you don’t have to walk around this massive Realm. Just summon your mount to outrun the fog and ride into your next glorious battle!
The Ultimate Team Royale
Call your friends: It’s time to squad up. Realm Royale is the first Battle Royale designed to be played in four-person Squads. Help your team by dropping a Healing Totem, or plant a Sensor Drone to reveal incoming enemies. Each class has strengths and weaknesses, but by working together the crown royale could be yours.

There’s also new music that’s included in the update, music that can be heard when you’re underwater. Minecraft players on Reddit found out that you can play one of the three new music piece by entering a command that’s seen here.
Amid all these changes, one of the issues that players did take with the pre-release is the new bark textures. These new textures let players build some interesting floors or other creations, but they change the existing wood blocks in ways that many players aren’t thrilled with.
“Mojang, the new bark block textures are a massive mistake,” Redditor Muriako commented. “They could be good for really niche building situations, but they are also kind of ruining the main reason people wanted those bark blocks in the first place.
The full notes for everything that’s included in the 1.13 pre-release can be found below, and if you’re unsure of how to download the pre-release or just need a refresher, you can check out the instructions on Minecraft’s site.

Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch is about to get a lot bigger with a new update that brings the universal Minecraft Bedrock Engine to Nintendo’s portable console on June 21st, enabling cross-play between the Switch and the PC, Xbox One, and mobile versions of the game.
The cross-platform update is actually pretty late in coming to the Switch — it was announced back at E3 last year, and hit the other platforms last September. The Switch release was then promised for later in the winter, which, based on the June release date, it obviously didn’t quite hit. The updated Minecraft will also support Nintendo’s new online service for the Switch when it launches later this year.
Along with the new update, a physical version of Minecraft for the Switch is getting released for $29.99, should you prefer to own hard copies of your games instead of digital downloads

Nintendo's most-loved mash-up franchise, Super Smash Bros., is finally coming to Switch soon, and ahead of the formal reveal of the game's content, players are getting increasingly hungry for more information.
It's just as well then that so many leaks are popping up around the internet, suggesting what we might be seeing in the title.
The newest spate of rumours suggests that Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch might be seeing some sort of Minecraft content.
This is information is circulating thanks to DasVergeben (a known source of information in the industry with a track record when it comes to leaks). The user revealed on the GameFAQs forum that Minecraft “may have a presence” in the upcoming fighting game.
We've seen Nintendo include links to characters before via trophies and similar rewards, so the inclusion of Minecraft could be fairly innocuous.
Though it could also come in the form of something more substantial, too: we could see a blocky, Minecraft-inspired stage or something similar, too.
It's doubtful then that we'll perhaps see iconic Minecraft main character Steve as a playable fighter.
As ever with E3-period rumours, take this with a grain of salt… you never really know what's cracking off untuil it's announced.
Nintendo Switch 2018: Rumoured and confirmed games coming to the console
Nintendo Switch had a great first year, full of exclusives and third party games. Here's a few more rumoured games supposedly coming to the console in 2018 and beyond. PLUS, some games we know are coming in the months ahead.

The only thing we know for sure about the Nintendo Switch version of Super Smash Bros 4 so far is that it'll be adding the Inklings – the playable characters from Splatoon.
But what we don't yet know is how these characters will handle in the game itself – will they be tricky to play, will they be easy for a beginner to pick up, will they be God-tier? It remains unclear.
Luckily, Red Bull eSports asked some Super Smash Bros. pro players to weigh in with what they thought the newest additions will bring to the game.
Smash 4 Rosalina player Samuel ‘Dabuz’ Buzby states: “They’d have a good amount of mobility moves, things like super jump, dodge rolls, ink, and squid form – stuff from the game that would make them a mobile zoner.”
Diddy Kong player Jestise ‘MVD’ Negron adds: “I can see [them having] some sort of a bomb move, maybe a land mine or a grenade. I imagine them being able to combine that with a special ability to shoot and swim in ink.”
The duo goes on to explain that perhaps the Inklings will be primarily projectile-based, or that perhaps they'll be able to incorporate multiple weapons in their movesets, giving them better versatility.
Super Smash Bros Nintendo Switch – Overview
Release date: 2018
Format: Nintendo Switch
Genre: Brawler
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Super Smash Bros Nintendo Switch – What is it?
Super Smash Bros is Nintendo's flagship series. It combines characters from all of the publisher's biggest games and throws them into one world, pitted against each other in order to reign supreme.
You have the likes of Mario and Luigi battling it out with Link from The Legend of Zelda series, you have Pokemon defending themselves from Kirby, Donkey Kong trying desperately to blow Animal Crossing's villagers off the edge of the world.
Even the Wii Fit instructor turns up to school Nintendo's most famous mascots. It's bizarre.
Gameplay involves up to four characters using special moves to get one over on their opponents, making the most of dynamic 2.5D levels to get the upper hand on their enemies.
This game will be the first Smash Bros. title on the Nintendo Switch.

Now with Mushroom Kingdom magic
Despite the fact it won't be seeing any new content from the Better Together update, Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition is still trucking along with new content and updates. It's most recent update, version 1.5 brings with it new skins (for purchase), new texture packs (for purchase), and Super Mario Mash-Up content (for free).
One of the big selling points of Minecraft on Switch and Wii U is the inclusion of Super Mario skins and textures. While this 3DS content isn't as extensive as it is on either of those two consoles, it's still some much needed Nintendo charm that was missing at the game's launch. It joins support for two players over local play, a feature added in version 1.4. The Super Mario Mash-Up isn't just added textures to the regular map. It's its own mode, accessed by starting up a new map with the Minecraft Super Mario Edition option.

I haven't played the New Nintendo 3DS version of Minecraft since last year, but clearly, this version has made some strides. The draw distance still isn't anything to write home about with plenty of pop-in, but the experience is smoother with fewer framerate issues, crisper graphics, and of course all this new Mario content.
At launch, I didn't think Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition was worth the asking price. Without question, I'd wager it is now.
