‘Fortnite’ rumoured to be coming to the Nintendo Switch

It might not be wise to rely on 4chan for updates but Kotaku seems to think the leaked document discovered on the forum might be reliable enough. Rumour has it that Epic Games will be bringing Fortnite to the Nintendo Switch An anonymous source privy to Epic Games’ plans also confirmed with the site that the game will be coming to the platform.

The leaked document showed part of E3 showroom planning and it featured marketing materials for games like Fortnite, Paladins, Dragon Ball FighterZ, FIFA, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, as well as unannounced games like Killer Queen Black and Overcooked 2. It wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if the game does hit the platform, considering its popularity. Epic Games doesn’t have a comment yet on the report.

Bethesda releases first trailer for new ‘Fallout 76’ game

We don’t know much about the upcoming Fallout game but we get to see a quick glimpse of it has Bethesda just released the first trailer for the new title. Calling it Fallout 76, the game seems to allude to players most likely being inhabitants of Vault 76, which has been mentioned in both Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. According to Fallout lore, this vault was meant to open 20 years after the nuclear war, which meant it allowed for a far less civilized setting than the ones you see in the previous games where the population had more time to reconstruct human civilization. This means we’re getting a different feel to the game. As the narrator says, “When the fighting is stopped, and the fallout has settled, you must rebuild.”

One other thing that will be different, but this is unconfirmed, that the game will be an online survival role-playing game in the same vein of DayZ or Rust. So, we might not get the typical single player RPG experience this time around. Whether this is true or not, we’ll get to hear more at E3 coming this month.

Snapchat reportedly plans to release dev kit

If reports are to be believed, you might be able to see a “Log in with Snapchat” option in non-Snapchat apps. TechCrunch reports that Snap is planning to launch a full-fledged developer platform it’s calling Snapkit. This platform will let third-party developers do things like the aforementioned being able log into their apps with Snapchat credentials, or use Snapchat’s camera (and even share back to Snapchat), or even use Bitmoji avatars in their apps. This move might help bring back the followers it’s lost or even attract new users, especially for those wary of using Facebook to sign into new services now. And since Snapchat asks for less information, it might be less risky if a site with your Snapchat login will compromise too much information. It isn’t clear thought which apps will offer login first, this might be dependent on which companies Snap can convince to partner with them. If this does come true, are you willing to use the “Log in with Snapchat” option?

Rumours claim Samsung will bring in-display fingerprint sensor to the Galaxy S10

Will the next generation Galaxy S device have an in-display fingerprint sensor?

Looks like Samsung’s going to skip a generation before it revamps its fingerprint sensor tech—at least that is according a new report from South Korean media outfit ETNews. The Korean company reportedly “confirmed” to partners that it will make use of an in-display fingerprint reader underneath its Samsung Display glass for the Galaxy S10 (instead of the Galaxy Note 9). The new report points at speculation that Samsung might be working with Qualcomm and its ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. Now, we have quite some time to wait before any of these will be confirmed.
