New On Amazon Prime Video In April 2020: Movies, TV Shows, And Originals
It's more important than ever right now to be in-the-know when it comes to upcoming releases on streaming services. While we're all stuck inside during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, you'll be happy to know Amazon Prime Video has plenty coming to your home in April. And if you're a fan of James Bond, it will be a great month for you.
While No Time To Die's release has been delayed until November, 007 fans are probably looking to visit old Bond films, and Amazon has a bunch coming on April 1. Many of these movies are already available on Amazon; however, there are 21 movies coming in 4K UHD. You'll be able to watch many of Bond's adventures in glorious ultra high definition including Goldeneye, Dr. No, Goldfinger, Live and Let Die, and more.
If Bond isn't to your liking, Amazon is releasing plenty of other movies you'll want to check out on April 1 as well: Watch Will Smith fight weird vampire-zombies in I Am Legend. Or see the thrilling Dave Bautista/Jodie Foster movie Hotel Artemis. There are newer movies arriving later in the month as well. The Oscar-nominated movie The Lighthouse lands on April 16 and Rambo: Last Blood on April 10.

Bandai Namco Announces The Namcot Collection For Nintendo Switch
During the Japanese Nintendo Direct, Bandai Namco revealed it would be releasing the Namcot Collection for Switch on 18th June 2020. No, it’s not a typo, ‘Namcot’ was the name Namco used for its console publishing business between 1984-1995.
This upcoming collection will be available as a physical release and as a free download from the eShop. The hard copy will include every title in the “first round” of releases and a secret bonus title.
The digital release will allow players to select and buy individual games from the eShop, and they can then display them on their virtual shelf however they like. Below are the titles that will be included in the first round (thanks, Gematsu):
Wagyan Land
Pac-Man
Galaga
The Tower of Druaga
Battle City
Star Luster
Family Jockey
Yokai Dochuki
Dragon Spirit
Mendel Palace (Quinty)
Splatterhouse: Wanpaku Graffiti
Each title includes modern features such as the ability to stop and start the game, and save progress at any point. Similar to other collections, you’ll also be able to rewind if you make a mistake, and screen settings can be customised as well.
At the moment, there’s been no mention of a western release. If we hear anything, we’ll be sure to let you know. In related news, Mr. Driller will finally be making his debut on the Switch.

This Fantastic Game Is Free On iOS And Android For A Limited Time
Over the past couple of weeks, a bunch of publishers have been giving away free games to help keep people occupied while social distancing. While most of the current freebies are for PC, there are a handful of great mobile games up for grabs, too, including one of the very best puzzle games in recent years: Monument Valley 2. Normally selling for $5, Monument Valley 2 is completely free right now on iOS and Android. Developer Ustwo Games announced the promotion with an adorable video clip and message to fans on Twitter.
A sequel to the 2014 breakout hit, Monument Valley 2 has a wealth of excellent maze puzzles that play with your senses thanks to optical illusions and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. It also has a greater emphasis on narrative than its predecessor. In Monument Valley 2, you control Ro and her young child on a journey about personal growth and the sacred bond between mother and daughter.
You don't need to play the first game to enjoy and appreciate Monument Valley 2. Though the subtle ways the two games connect are more poignant if you have knowledge of the original, the maze puzzles themselves are enough to recommend Monument Valley 2. Plus, you can't beat free.
The Elder Scrolls: Blades Gets Reconfirmed For Switch, Launches This Spring
During the latest Nintendo Direct Mini, Bethesda’s mobile port The Elder Scrolls: Blades was briefly highlighted in a sizzle reel towards the end of the presentation. In case you forgot, this game was originally announced for the Switch at E3 last year and then got delayed until early 2020.
Now, according to the latest Nintendo showcase, the free-to-title will be arriving this spring on the Switch eShop. The reason for the delay last November was due to “all the other changes” the development team was currently making to Blades. At the time, Bethesda also wanted to make the Switch version a better and more polished experience overall.
When it does arrive, the Switch release will support motion controls, cross-platform PvP matches, and cross-progression – meaning you can continue your play session on Switch or mobile. An online connection will also be required to play the game.
Will you be taking a look at this free entry of Elder Scrolls when it eventually shows up on Switch? Leave a comment below.
Salim will be directing a new game IP developed by Silver Rain Games, where former BAFTA programme manager Melissa Phillips is serving as head of studio. Silver Rain is taking on "a growing team of developers" for the project.
"The games industry is so inspiring," Salim said. "I grew up in games, so it only feels natural to make the leap into creating them. I want to be able to give back to an industry and audience that has supported me and hopefully bring a fresh perspective to the table."
Doors, once hidden, open on the lunar surface revealing another Seraph Bunker in Rasputin’s network. Guardians have begun exploring it to see what upgrades lie within. And if you’re up for the challenge, there are also new Legendary Lost Sectors available and new weapons to get your hands on.
That’s not all. Lord Saladin is at the Tower and has a new Bow for you to earn along with several opportunities for pinnacle drops. On top of all that, week three of Trials of Osiris begins tomorrow. What map do you think will be featured this week?
World Drops
There were several armor sets added to the engram loot pool with Season of the Worthy. We saw a lot of feedback that, while you were excited to see your favorite armor sets from the past, the fact that none of them had Seasonal mod slots made them feel less desirable and not worth including in your builds.
Good news! We’re adding Seasonal mod slots to these sets in an update next month. The three faction sets will get Season of the Worthy mod slots and the rest of the armor will get either Season of Dawn or Season of the Undying mod slots.
Season of Dawn Mod Slot Added:
Dead End Cure
Retro-Grade TG2
Heiro Camo
Road Complex AA1
Devastation Complex
High-Minded Complex
Season of the Undying Mod Slot Added:
Red Moon Phantom
Mimetic Savior
Thorium Holt
Tangled Web
Prodigal
Frumious
Noble Constant Type 2
Ego Talon IV
Errant Knight
Kerak Type 2
Philomath
All of these sets will be able to use Seasonal mods from the Seasons before and after the Season they are designated above (as explained in a previous TWAB).
The Fixings
We are currently targeting Tuesday, March 31 to deploy Hotfix 2.8.0.2. The main target of this update will be the issue affecting Trials of Osiris challenges not being reset properly. Here’s a quick preview of other fixes coming in this update:
Fixed an issue where upgrades on the Season Pass where only unlocked for one character and will now properly unlock for the entire account.
Fixed an issue where the first weekly clear of a Legendary Lost Sector would not award a powerful drop.
Fixed an issue with Raiju’s Harness that allowed players to hold Whirlwind Guard indefinitely.
Fixed an issue where Titan Season Pass arms ornament would block first person view.
Season Pass SMG and Shotgun will now create Warmind cells with Season Pass ornaments equipped.
Fixed an issue where Sentinel Titans were able to extend Sentinel Shield/Banner Shield by suppressing themselves.
Fixed an issue where players were not getting the correct amount of planetary materials from bunker upgrades.
Aside from the fixes in 2.8.0.2 we’re also continuing to investigate disconnects, crashes, and error codes being reported since 2.8.0 we released. Currently, we are seeing elevated disconnects from the Tower on all platforms but disconnects from other activities seems PC-specific.
The fix we deployed has appeared to resolve the crashes affecting Gambit, but didn’t help with other disconnects. We have made additional attempts at fixing disconnects that haven’t resulted in a decline in error codes and are continuing to work on new fixes for elevated Beaver, Beetle, Anteater, and Rabbit errors. We’ll give you more information as soon as we can.
Twitch Prime Rewards
We continued our monthly rollout of Twitch Prime Rewards today. If you have an active Prime subscription, visit this page to link your Bungie.net account and claim your rewards. After that, they should be available at Amanda Holliday in the Tower. Here’s a look at what you can get this month:
Prometheus Lens – Exotic Weapon
Eye of Osiris – Exotic Weapon Ornament
Tyrant Shell – Exotic Ghost Shell
Fleet Ska IX – Legendary Ship
Player Support Report
Destiny Player Support is constantly tracking known issues in the wild.
This is their report.
TRIALS WEEKLY CHALLENGE RESET TIME
Last weekend, Destiny Player Support noticed an increase in reports about players not receiving powerful rewards from their third, fifth, or seventh Trials of Osiris win. Upon investigation, the team discovered an error in the Weekly Challenge reset time.
Trials of Osiris Weekly Challenges will unlock at 5 PM PDT on Saturdays. At this time, rewards are expected to be reset for players who have been impacted, and rewards will be granted when players reach three, five, or seven wins respectively. In a future patch, we will move this reset to the Friday daily reset.
SEASON OF THE WORTHY SEAL
We have noticed that players have been trying unsuccessfully to unlock a hidden Triumph in the Season of the Worthy Almighty Seal when meeting the requirements. This Triumph is not currently available to unlock but will be so in late April.
RASPUTIN BUNKER BOUNTIES
With the Moon Bunker now unlocked, Destiny Player Support noticed some confusion about the bounties Rasputin offered. Weekly and daily Rasputin bounties are only available on the destination where the Weekly Challenge is active.
CURRENT KNOWN ISSUES
While we continue investigating various known issues, here’s a list of the latest issues that were reported to us in our #Help Forum:
Some players may not receive progress on Crucible and Iron Banner quests and bounties. These are caused by connection issues and continuing to play will progress these objectives.
Rasputin’s Daily Seraph Weapon can only be claimed on the character players were on when Rank 92 of the Season Pass was unlocked – this cannot be claimed on other characters.
The “Lost Classics” Rasputin bounty does not count Crucible matches in the Classic Mix playlist.
For a full list of emergent issues in Destiny 2, players can review our Known Issues article. Players who observe other issues should report them to our #Help forum.
Lights, Camera, Action!
And now we move on to the entertainment portion of our weekly address. This is our chance to pick a few videos created by the community to share with you. As a bonus, their creators get to take home a special emblem and be the envy of their fireteams.
Movie of the Week: Titan Sword
Honorable Mention: Four Horn Gulch
For the best chance at being featured and winning a MotW emblem, get us your video by using the Creations Page. If you do win, please make sure you include a link to your Bungie.net profile in the description of the video.
We got new stuff to do on the Moon and in the Iron Banner this week. Next week, we’ll have an Infamy Bonus available for anyone who wants to play some Gambit.
I had my first flawless Trials run last weekend! Might have to go for it again this weekend since the map is going to be [REDACTED].
BETA: BEDROCK 1.16.0.53 (XBOX ONE / WINDOWS 10 / ANDROID)

Remember that only those on Xbox One / Windows 10 / and Android may participate in the Beta builds. You will not be able to join Realms or non-beta players worlds and you will not be able to open worlds opened in the Beta in earlier/current stable builds of Bedrock.
Crashes and Stability
