Minecraft laughs at PUBG and Fortnite with insane player count

Minecraft laughs at PUBG and Fortnite with insane player count

Minecraft has blitzed through yet another record player count, with the multi-million selling survival phenomenom having notched up a staggering 74 million active users during December 2017.

The figure was confirmed by Minecraft overlord Helen Chiang during a chat with PopSugar, although she didn't clarify how this figure was broken down across the many platforms the game is supported on.

‘We just recently set a new record in December for monthly active users, so now we're at 74 million monthly active users—and that's really a testament to people coming back to the game, whether it's through the game updates or bringing in new players from across the world,' she said.

Minecraft updates have been pretty slow as of late, although its developer has confirmed that things will change in Spring 2018 with the release of the Aquatic update. Oh, and if there was any possible lingering doubt of the game's popularity, it's now flogged 144 million copies worldwide, making it the second best-selling game ever behind Tetris.

TOMB RAIDER: Lara Croft Embarks On The Adventure Of A Lifetime In A New TV Spot

TOMB RAIDER: Lara Croft Embarks On The Adventure Of A Lifetime In A New TV Spot

As the AFC Championship Game between the 5x World Champion New England Patriots and the Jacksonville Jaguars continues, Warner Bros. has released an awesome new TV spot for their upcoming video game movie adaptation/reboot of Tomb Raider. The film stars Alicia Vikander as the daredevil extraordinaire Lara Croft, who finds herself on the adventure of a lifetime, searching for the truth behind her father's disappearance.

On another note, it looks like Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life are both getting the 4K Ultra HD treatment ahead of the new film's release. Both titles are due out on February 27th and are currently available to pre-order on Amazon (1, 2).

Watch the new “Adventure” TV spot below:

 

Lara Croft is the fiercely independent daughter of an eccentric adventurer who vanished when she was scarcely a teen. Now a young woman of 21 without any real focus or purpose, Lara navigates the chaotic streets of trendy East London as a bike courier, barely making the rent, and takes college courses, rarely making it to class. Determined to forge her own path, she refuses to take the reins of her father’s global empire just as staunchly as she rejects the idea that he’s truly gone.

Advised to face the facts and move forward after seven years without him, even Lara can’t understand what drives her to finally solve the puzzle of his mysterious death.Going explicitly against his final wishes, she leaves everything she knows behind in search of her dad’s last-known destination: a fabled tomb on a mythical island that might be somewhere off the coast of Japan. But her mission will not be an easy one; just reaching the island will be extremely treacherous. Suddenly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for Lara, who—against the odds and armed with only her sharp mind, blind faith and inherently stubborn spirit—must learn to push herself beyond her limits as she journeys into the unknown. If she survives this perilous adventure, it could be the making of her, earning her the name tomb raider.

AVENGERS 4: Samuel L. Jackson & Cobie Smulders Confirmed To Return As They’re Spotted Filming In Atlanta

After the 5x World Champion New England Patriots punched their ticket back to the Super Bowl, Just Jared has released brand new set photos from “an upcoming Marvel project,” which, considering Captain Marvel doesn't begin filming until late March, is undoubtedly referring to the top-secret set for the highly anticipated Avengers 4, although they could also be from Avengers: Infinity War reshoots, which were scheduled to begin following the end of principal photography on the 2019 sequel.

The latest batch of snapshots features Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury) and Cobie Smulders (Maria Hill) looking quite bewildered as they gaze upon something potentially massive entering Earth's atmosphere. There's also some intriguing shots of Jackson without Fury's trademark eyepatch, but those were probably just taken in-between shots rather than something we'll see realized in the movie.

Check out all of the photos at the link below:

An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ “Avengers: Infinity War” brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. The Avengers and their Super Hero allies must be willing to sacrifice all in an attempt to defeat the powerful Thanos before his blitz of devastation and ruin puts an end to the universe.

PACIFIC RIM UPRISING TV Spot Features Some Exciting New Footage From The Upcoming Sequel

This latest TV spot for Steven S. DeKnight's Pacific Rim Uprising features quite a bit of new footage from the upcoming sequel.

In addition to several exciting shots of Jaegers taking on the monstrous Kaiju, we get a much better glimpse of a couple of mechs coming to blows. Plus, there's a first look at the returning Charlie Day as that shrill scientist many people were praying would get eaten by the end of the first film.

Check it out, and let us know if you're looking forward ro this one in the commnets section below.

John Boyega stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.


Pacific Rim Uprising also stars John Boyega, Scott Eastwood, Jing Tian, Cailee Spaeny, and Adria Arjona, and is set to hit theaters on March 23.
