Vietnam, which is part of the New Frontier Pass due out 28th January, is led by Bà Triệu, also known as Triệu Thị Trinh or Lady Triệu. Bà Triệu fought against the occupation of northern Vietnam by the Wu Kingdom in the early 200s AD.
Vietnam's unique ability is Nine Dragon River Delta, which makes all land speciality districts only buildable on rainforest, marsh or woods tiles.

Grinding Gear Games has shown off 19 minutes of new Path of Exile 2 gameplay.
The footage below shows off the second act of the game, set in the Vastiri Desert. We see a number of new weapon classes at play (spear, crossbow etc), improved animations and greater detail compared to the original action role-playing game.
There's a great-looking mini-boss fight where each time it pounds the ground some of the ceiling collapses, shining light onto the floor.

The heartwarming ad began with a dad telling his son a bedtime story. Thinking of his current God of War playthrough, the dad starts telling his son a tale of how a father and son went for a walk in the mountains.

Giratina has emerged from the Distorted World to make an appearance in Pokémon Go.
When the Renegade Pokémon does make an appearance it will take one of two Formes, either the wyvern Origin Forme or the winged Altered Forme.
Like the Legendary Pokémon it shares the Sinnoh region with, including Dialga and Palkia, Giratina will be available in five-star Raids, so, if you want to defeat this dragon, you'll need a team of fellow trainers.

Numinous landscapes and skull-rattling combat combine in this leftfield classic Lochlannarg's dungeon is nothing like a dungeon. It's not even a lair, really. Outside, by the gates, clear water falls from one bronze urn to another in a peaceful overspilling burble. It's practically inviting: a spa. Inside, rivers of jade flow through channels worn in dark grey stone, between little islands of swaying straw.
