 The "pyscho-nerd hacker" and former Hades Division member can now be recruited by all players as long as they own at least one campaign.
What Schneider lacks in brawn he makes up for in brains. He developed the home-made SCHN31D3r drone at age 14 and can use it in battle to lure enemies into a deadly cross-fire or, as the Antagonist, plant it near the objective to dissuade the Raiders from getting too close. You can relive his harrowing defeat at the hands of Team PTC below. How are you getting on with Raiders of the Broken Planet? Looking forward to trying out Schneider?

Latest leak suggests the next Assassin’s Creed title will be set in Ancient Greece - Updated31/5/2018  Update: Ubisoft confirmed the existence of Assassin's Creed Odyssey in the early hours of this morning via twitter, promising to share more information at E3. Original Story: The next instalment in Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed series is going to be set in Ancient Greece if the latest rumours prove accurate.
 As is usually the case with these leaks, nothing’s been confirmed by Ubisoft, but it’s likely we’ll hear something official soon with E3 right around the corner.
What do you think of a potential Ancient Greek setting? Let us know below.  Warner Bros. and TT Games' latest adventure ditches the heroes for the first ever villain focussed LEGO title.
Player created characters are central to the game’s story, which is being penned in collaboration with DC:
“The original story in LEGO DC Super-Villains flips the DC universe upside down as players embark on an unforgettable adventure starring memorable villains set across notable DC locations,” said Ames Kirshen, Vice President, Interactive & Animation, DC Entertainment. “DC’s roster of iconic Super-Villains is unmatched and fans will love teaming up with The Joker, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor and a host of others to save Earth from a greater evil.” Characters can continue to be upgraded throughout the campaign with new abilities and powers, and it looks like the game will also feature drop-in drop-out multiplayer for on the fly co-op when taking on boss fights. LEGO DC Super-Villains is out 19 October on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC. What do you think of a villain focussed LEGO adventure? Let us know below. 
Yesterday, Bethesda got us all excited by posting a Fallout-related gif on social media. We now know that it was to build hype for the announcement of Fallout 76.
Bethesda finally put us out of our misery by releasing a teaser trailer for Fallout 76.
The date seen on the Pip-Boy in the trailer, 27 October 2102, seems to suggest the game might be a prequel, as other entries in the Fallout series all take place much later.
The music played over the trailer - Take Me Home, Country Roads - could also suggest a Virginia setting for the game. According to Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, Fallout 76 could feature some sort of online functionality.
Recently, Bethesda's Pete Hines teased that this could be the team's biggest E3 showcase to date, so it's definitely one to watch.

 Last week Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was presented to the world, but yesterday was all about Battlefield V's return to World War 2-era combat.
On to the reveal proper: we know that the single player War Stories mode, introduced in Battlefield 1, will feature, as will multiplayer Operations, now named Grand Operations. The former puts players into the boots of a single character, aiming to portray a more personal side of the war as they experience key moments from that character's own unique perspective, whilst the latter sees two teams face off against one another over the course of multiple maps and modes. Not much was said about Combined Arms, except it's a four-player co-op mode with randomly generated missions. Aside from the usual load of guns and tanks with which to decimate the enemy, you can also make a difference in a supporting role. The new Fortifications mechanic allows players to use the toolbox to implement defensive strategies, such as repairing buildings and setting up machine gun nests to push back attackers. Another new addition to gameplay is The Company, your own collection of soldiers, weapons and vehicles. You'll earn customisation options through playing and the developers made a point of noting that there'll be no lootboxes. Of course, you can expect DLC, but the Premium Pass has been scrapped and all future maps and modes will be made available to the entire player base at no additional cost. The first batch of fresh content is scheduled to drop in November and focuses on the fall of Europe. If you'd like to watch the reveal in full, we've got you covered. Those uninterested in a lengthy countdown timer may want to skip ahead to the 55 minute mark. Battlefield V releases 19 October, or three days earlier for those who pre-order the Deluxe Edition. The Play First Trial goes live on 11 October for any Xbox or PC players with a respective EA or Origin Access subscription.
In the meantime, EA and DICE are giving players the opportunity to snag some free DLC. For a limited time, you can download and keep Battlefield 1's In the Name of the Tsar and Battlefield 4's Final Stand. Head on over to the official site for more details.
