Borderlands 3 Leaks and Release Date Rumors

The E3 2018 is over, but during the event, participants didn’t hear any announcement concerning the Borderland 3 game release date. Even so, gamers are still hoping that it will come soon, especially because recent rumors mention some of the game’s features. Under these circumstances, we can understand why people are so anxious to get their hands on Borderland 3.

The game hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, but reliable sources claim that it exists more or less. One of the first persons who talked about more games from the Borderland series was Gearbox’s CEO himself.

During a panel from the PAX East 2016, Randy Pitchford confirmed the developer’s intention to release more Borderlands. He continued by adding that the next episode could receive a different name, leaving enough space for speculations. Who knows, maybe they will call it FPS?

What’s the story behind the game?

It looks like Gearbox is planning to keep the same characters and design for future Borderlands versions. However, in case it’s him, the psycho bandit needs a new scenario, so now the developers want to hire a new writer who can create an emerging, but at the same funny script.

Will there be new characters and different gameplay features?

Unfortunately, we cannot predict anything concerning the possible characters, but we could have the possibility to meet a grown-up figure of Tiny Tina. However, we do know that Rhys and Fiona are two characters which need to make their debut in the Borderland series, so they could be included in the story.

Other news are connected with the potential visual upgrade. According to GDC 2017, we know that we should expect a boost for lighting tech, shadows and outlining the edge. Of course, Borderlands’ comic-book art style won’t be left aside, so we will see it in the 3rd version of the game as well.

Is there an estimated release date?

With all the information we found out, we still don’t have any clue regarding the Borderlands 3 release date. If we were to anticipate, we could say that we might see the game for the first time in the period between October 2018 and September 2019.

Huawei set to Launch its first 5G Phone in 2019

With the introduction of brand new 5G technology expected sometime in 2020, some of the biggest phone makers in the world have already made their plans known when it comes to new devices that will be able to support this type of network. Most of the tech giants, such as Xiaomi, HTC and LG have already started their preparations for 2019. Although Huawei remained quiet for a long time, the Chinese company has finally announced the launch of its first 5G phone.

5G Kirin chip and new 5G phone set for launch in 2019

The statement was made at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai during an opening speech, which was dedicated to the upcoming 5G network technology. Huawei’s new device is expected to be launched at any time before the end of June of the next year. In March 2019, so before the new 5G phone’s debut, the Chinese company plans to release its first 5G Kirin chip, which will support the new technology on Huawei’s devices.

Huawei’s 5G phone unlikely to be available in the U.S.

Huawei has chosen to develop its own processor and modem, unlike most of the phone makers, who use products provided by Qualcomm. However, due to its conflict with the U.S. government, the company has lost all deals with American carriers, such as Verizon and AT&T, and an electronics retailer, Best Buy. At the moment, it looks like Huawei’s new phone will not be officially available in the U.S.

What should we expect with the arrival of 5G technology?

Usually the arrival of a new technology creates very high expectations, and it is not any different with the upcoming 5G network. According to some reports, it will be up to 10 times faster than 4G, allowing us to use it not only to browse the internet, but also in upcoming, potentially life-changing technologies.

Google VR Services 1.16.201071054 Update Download Available with Best Package Kit

One of the best things about owning Android powered smartphones is the massive number of apps that they have access to. App developers are always looking to create innovative apps such as Uber and Lyft which make the lives of consumers easier. However, Android users don’t need to rely only on third-party developers because Google is creating new apps and services every other day.

Google is always looking to improve its operating system with every new update and that’s why it keeps creating special apps such as Google VR Services. Talking about VR Services, we need to mention that the app has just received a brand-new update. With that said, let’s see what the new update is all about.

Google VR Services 1.16.201071054 Update

Just like the app’s name implies, Google VR Services serves the sole purpose of allowing Android powered smartphones to support VR content, apps and features. What makes Google VR Services special is the fact that it lets Android users view 360-degree (VR) videos and pictures directly through Google’s famous Cardboard headset which is known for being affordable.

Considering that Google VR Services plays a major role in the Android ecosystem, it should come as no surprise that Google is constantly releasing new updates for it. The new update sports the “1.16.201071054” build number and it’s available in the form of APK.

Android Package Kit

This latest Google VR Services update has yet to roll out OTA (over the air) because Google is still testing out a couple of software tweaks. Therefore, eager Android fans who want to get their hands on it ahead of everyone else can manually download and install the APK version of it. We should also mention that all Android fans who wish to install APK updates need to enable the “unknown sources” feature first.

Clash Royale Update – Top Three Troops That Everyone Must Have in Their Deck

There are many things that separate good players from great players, but the most important one is the decks they build. Having a strong deck is necessary to complete any mode in Clash Royale and players need to create decks that have cards which synergize with each other. The first thing Clash Royale players are required to know is that the game features three basic type of cards: spells, buildings and troops. Learning how to combine these cards will help players destroy any foe!

Today we are going to give Clash Royale a little help when it comes to creating strong decks. We will present the top troop cards that players need to get and to include them in their decks. In addition, this card guide is directed towards new players who want to get the upper hand on veterans.

Skeleton Army

What better way to start than with the Skeleton Army? This is a troop type of card and it’s essential to any Clash Royale deck. Skeleton Army is a low-cost mob that excels at wearing down enemies. On the downside though, this troop is weak against Princess Towers, King’s Tower and Arrows.

Ice Wizard

If you ask any Clash Royale veteran player what is the best card in the game they will tell you that it’s the Ice Wizard. The reason why the Ice Wizard is held in such a high regard is because it costs only three Elixir and it does lots of damage. Not just that, but the Ice Wizard is ideal for counter-pushes and stalling incoming attacks.

Hog Rider

The Hog Rider is the most popular card in the game and everyone has it in their deck. What’s great about the Hog Rider is that it’s available right from the very first Arena and newbies can get it without any effort. The Hog Rider costs four Elixir and it destroys enemy towers. However, the Hog Rider doesn’t attack enemy troops! Only buildings.
