Lost Reavers has received a pretty big update. The game has been updated with a new level, weapons, events, costumes, and bug fixes. Today’s update is 1,340MB, so you may need to make some extra room for the extra content.

Thanks to Cameron and Dez for the tip.

Activision will soon be announcing the next entry in the Skylanders series. Based on some apparent leaks, it seems that the new game will be titled “Skylanders: Imaginators”.

Main developer Toys for Bob is back as the main developer of the project. Wii U is a target platform, but there’s no word on Wii or 3DS versions at present.

The big hook this time around is that it’ll be possible to make your own Skylanders, which go by the name Skylanders Imaginators. Additionally, there’s a new toy type known as Creation Crystal which “allows players to create and transport their unique Skylanders to consoles at anytime, anywhere”. New guest stars called “Senseis” are also being introduced which features 20 new characters and 11 former villains.

More unconfirmed – but probable – information about Skylanders: Imaginators can be found below. We’ve also included some images that have surfaced thus far in the attached gallery. The game is scheduled for October 16 in North America.

On Wii U, Terraria will be heading to retail in late June. But it seems that the eShop launch will be taking place a bit sooner.

A listing on the eShop pins down Terraria’s digital release in Europe for June 9. There’s a decent chance that Terraria will also be put up on the North American eShop at around the same time.
