MachineGames (Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus) and Bethesda are partnering with Lucasfilm Games on a standalone Indiana Jones game, to be executive produced by Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard. Bethesda tweeted to say "A new Indiana Jones game with an original story is in development from our studio, @MachineGames, and will be executive produced by Todd Howard, in collaboration with @LucasfilmGames. It'll be some time before we have more to reveal, but we’re very excited to share today’s news!" An original post from Bethesda on Twitter includes a video that shows the word MachineGames, a Lucasfilm Games logo, and the iconic hat and whip.

EA and developer Respawn has issued a patch for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order that updates the game for next-generation consoles. While it's not a next-gen 'version' of the game - it doesn't add features or new tech - the patch does allow the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Fallen Order to make use of the significantly more powerful new console hardware. The next-gen optimization update improves Fallen Order's framerate, dynamic resolution ranges, and post-processing resolution, although the changes do depend on what hardware you're running. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/15/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-review"] For Xbox Series S, the only change is the framerate, which has been increased from 45 FPS to 60 FPS. On Xbox Series X, 'Performance Mode' now hits 60 FPS, and the dynamic resolution can scale between 1080p and 1440p. On 'Normal mode', post-processing has been increased to 4K resolution, and the dynamic resolution can range between 1512p and 2160p. Over on PlayStation 5, the framerate has been increased from 45 to 60 FPS. Unlike the Xbox version, there are no normal/performance modes; instead post-processing is set at 1440p, and dynamic scaling has been disabled in favour of a locked render resolution of 1200p (previously the game scaled between 810p and 1080p). [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-star-wars-game-review&captions=true"] The update is available now, and will be applied to Fallen Order when you next play the game. For more, check out the news of the renewed Lucasfilm Games banner, which will be the brand under which all future Star Wars games are released.

Nintendo has revealed a new Mario edition Switch, which is the first variant of the console for the screen unit itself to be offered in a different colour. The Mario Red & Blue Edition replicates the iconic colours of Nintendo's mascot, with red Joy-Con controllers featuring blue straps and blue grips that mimic Mario's dungaree straps. The dock and system unit itself are also red, rather than the traditional black format. Additionally, the Mario Red & Blue Edition also ships with a matching carrying case, as well as a screen protector. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=nintendo-switch-mario-red-blue-edition&captions=true"] The new "Mario Red" Joy-Con color is the third red color variant Nintendo has made, after the standard "Neon Red" launch color and the later "Red" Joy-Con that accompanied the release of Super Mario Odyssey. The set marks the eighth special edition Joy-Con release. It is not yet known if the set will be sold separately in any market like the 10 standalone Joy-Con colors. This special edition version of the Switch console will be available to buy from February 12 - the release date of the Super Mario 3D World Switch version - and will be priced at $299.99. Nintendo states that it will be available from 'select' retailers, so you may need to browse a little to find a place selling them.

We finally have our first proper look at Bowser's Fury, the expansion coming alongside the port of Super Mario 3D World for Nintendo Switch, and it features a friendly Bowser Jr., as well as Kaiju-sized versions of Bowser and Cat Mario. Revealed in a new trailer, Bowser's Fury is described as an "all-new bonus adventure", and features Mario working with Bowser Jr., who can seemingly paint walls to create items, and attack enemies. It's not yet clear if Bowser Jr. is controllable by a second player. Check out a trailer below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/12/super-mario-3d-world-bowsers-fury-official-trailer-2"] That trailer also shows off a giant version of the game's Bell power-up, which seeming turns our hero into a gigantic version of Cat Mario. That's in order to stop an inky new form of Bowser, who has "become gargantuan and lost all control" - whose appearances are accompanied by full-on metal music and very bad weather. The courses on show definitely look to be on the tougher side - although it's not clear yet if this is designed as an endgame experience for 3D World. 3D World itself will be available as it was on Wii U, albeit with added online multiplayer for up to four players. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=mario-3d-world-bowsers-fury-screenshots&captions=true"] New Cat Mario and Cat Peach amiibo will be released alongside the game, and will offer "in-game enhancements" in both Super Mario 3D World, and Bowser's Fury.

Riot and Bungie have joined forces to file a lawsuit against a cheat-making company alleged to have produced software hacks for Valorant and Destiny 2. As reported by Polygon, Riot and Bungie's lawyers filed a complaint against 'GatorCheats' in the Central District of California court on January 8th. You can read the full lawsuit here on Scribd. "The success of Plaintiff's Games depends on them being enjoyable and fair for all players, and plaintiffs spend an enormous amount of time and money to ensure this is the case," the lawsuit reads. "Defendants' sale and distribution of the cheating software has caused Plaintiffs to suffer irreparable damage to their goodwill and reputation and to lose millions of dollars in revenue." Elsewhere in the lawsuit, it mentions that the Destiny 2 GatorCheats were apparently taken down from the "public-facing" pages of the GatorCheats website, but that Bungie and Riot still believe that GatorCheats still offer a version of the cheats for sale in private. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/05/valorant-review"] The game developers are seeking damages for the harm done by the sale of the cheating software, which, among other hacks, allows players to engage an 'aimbot' and forego the need to be accurate with their gunshots. Riot issued a statement to Polygon, saying that "cheating undermines a game's competitive integrity and erodes community trust.

The AEW console game will feature campaign, multiplayer, create-a-wrestler, and "various other unusual modes", but won't include a GM mode, according to executive vice president of All Elite Wrestling Kenny Omega - who also revealed that he joined AEW on the condition that he'd be a part of its gaming division, and talked through the game's retro influences. In an interview with IGN Japan, Omega explained that a lot of the details are still under discussion, but that the console game will include a campaign mode in addition to multiplayer. He said that the General Manager mode will not be in the console game, instead remaining unique to the mobile title AEW Elite GM. “I can say right now that we’re not sure of how many wrestlers will be available upon release, but one thing I can say is that the number of wrestlers in the AEW is growing all the time, and the roster of wrestlers in the game will reflect that,” he said. “There will be a campaign, and various other unusual modes, and you will be able to edit your own wrestler, too.” He said that while the team are aiming for a 2021 release, this is not set in stone, as the quality of the game will come before release date commitments. “I don't want to rush it, so I don't want to make a promise [about the release date],” he said. “I want the release version to be good.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/all-elite-wrestling-the-game-official-teaser"] In just two years since its January 2019 inception, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has become a powerhouse in the world of wrestling. A few months ago, top wrestler Kenny Omega announced the establishment of AEW Games, revealing that an as-yet untitled console game is being produced by Japanese developer Yuke’s.

Nintendo has announced that we will be getting a new 2-minute long trailer for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury tomorrow, January 12, at 6am PT/9am ET/2pm GMT, but it will not arrive in the form of a Nintendo Direct. Revealed on Twitter, This new trailer will arrive a month before Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is released on Nintendo Switch on February 12, 2021. This remaster includes the full Wii U game from 2013 plus the Bowser's Fury expansion that we still don't know much about. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/03/super-mario-3d-world-bowsers-fury-official-trailer"] While getting a new look at Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is exciting, many are still waiting for the first proper Nintendo Direct since September 4, 2019. Since then, we have had Nintendo Direct Minis, Indie World Showcases, Partner Showcases, special presentations for games, and more, but it's been 495 days since a full Direct. This announcement of a trailer is also an interesting one, as Nintendo usually holds a special focused Direct on games that are around a month away that dives deeper into what players can expect. It has done so for Super Smash Bros.

Sony’s CES 2021 press conference was a touch light on games, but a new sizzle reel did contain updated release windows for some highly-anticipated PS5 games, including Pragmata which is now slated for 2023. Pragmata is Capcom’s new game that was announced during Sony’s PlayStation 5 “Future of Gaming” presentation in 2020. The trailer ended with a tag that slated Pragmata for a 2022 release window. However, the latest CES sizzle has bumped the date up into 2023. The sizzle has also confirmed some releases for other upcoming, third-party PS5 games including Kena: Bridge of Spirits in March 2021, Ghostwire Tokyo in October 2021, Little Devil Inside in July 2021, and Project Athia in January 2022. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] Athia is Square Enix’s new game which was announced without a release window. Square Enix is also working on Final Fantasy 16, which also doesn’t have a confirmed release window.

Spanish Twitch Streamer David “TheGrefg” Martinez just broke the Twitch record for concurrent viewers on an individual channel with 2.4 million watching him reveal his skin collaboration with Fortnite. Martinez’s stream, which topped off at over 2 million viewers, handily beat the previous record for concurrent viewers on an individual stream, set by Tyler “Ninja” Blevins in 2018 with 635,000 viewers. Martinez was streaming to reveal his collaboration with the Icon Series in Fortnite, a line of character skins based on top Fortnite content creators. Streamers like Ninja, Lachlan Power, and Kathleen “Loserfruit” Belsten have skins based on them in the Icon Series, and now Martinez joins the roster. [caption id="attachment_2460289" align="alignnone" width="1280"] TheGrefg's Icon skins inspired by Dragon Ball Z.[/caption] “One of the big takeaways of TheGrefg’s stream is that it illustrated the global appeal of the medium,” says StreamElements CEO Doron Nir in a statement to IGN on why the record is such a milestone. “All of the major live streaming platforms have sizable international bases, but having a milestone like this set by a Spanish language streamer helps put a spotlight on the broad appeal of the industry.”

Warning: Spoilers for Hitman 3's locations and when you visit them in-game follow. [poilib element="accentDivider"] IO Interactive has unveiled all locations Agent 47 will be traveling to in Hitman 3. Hitman 3 arrives in just a handful of days on January 20 and until now, we had only known about a few of the locales the hitman will be visiting this time around. IO Interactive revealed that along side the locations we had already known about —Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, Dartmoor in the United Kingdom, and Chongqing in China — Agent 47 will  be heading to Berlin, Germany, Mendoza, Argentina, and the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hitman-3-all-locations-in-game&captions=true"] "Agent 47's adventure will take him around the world to six unique locations across three continents, where he'll take on the most important contracts of his entire career," IO Interactive's blog post about the locations reads. "Each location has been crafted to deliver a unique and memorable gameplay experience, from the game's first mission at the tallest building in the world through to the dramatic epilogue that concludes the trilogy in style with a narrative-focused finale." IO Interactive also wrote a bit about each location and its place in the story of Hitman 3.

Over the past week, developer Facepunch Studios revealed its online survival game, Rust, generated over $1 million twice in one week. Released in early access back in 2013, Rush is having what many say is an “Among Us” style surge in popularity. Today, Garry Newman, founder of Facepunch and developer of Garry’s Mod, revealed Rust made over $1 million in revenue on two separate days in the same week on Steam. At the time of this writing, Rust is the most viewed game on Twitch with 717k viewers.

What is Rust?

Rust is a multiplayer-only survival game released in Early Access in 2013 and a full release in 2018. In Rust, several players are put on a procedurally generated map where they must scavenge and craft weapons and supplies to ensure their survival. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/15/rust-console-announcement-trailer"] While players usually begin games with only a rock and torch, these can be used to acquire other materials and eventually craft more sophisticated weapons like guns and unique ammo. Essentially, think of Rust like a really violent game of PvP Minecraft.

Why is Rust So Popular Now?

Although a fixture of multiplayer gaming since 2013, Rust is having a bonafide surge in popularity, seven years after its initial Early Access release. Facepunch revealed Rust doubled its player count record on January 7, 2021, beating a record that was set on January 3, 2021.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the remaster collection of the original Bioware RPG trilogy, releases on March 12, 2021, according to a report by Eurogamer.

The release date leak comes courtesy of Singapore retailer Shopitree and Indonesia company GSShop, both of which have posted the March 12 date, which was spotted by Twitter user Idle Sloth.

Eurogamer states that their sources believe the date to be accurate.

Electronic Arts has yet to confirm any official release date for Mass Effect Legendary Edition. The collection will include all single-player base content and DLC from the first three games, with “forward compatibility and targeted enhancements on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.” It will also include all promo weapons, armors, and packs, all in a package that’s remastered and optimized for 4K Ultra HD, along with improved frame rates. BioWare hasn't shown any gameplay footage from Legendary Edition, but with a March release date, it's possible they'll debut some in the near future.

Since it rocketed to fame earlier this year, Phasmophobia’s brand of ghost hunting antics has terrified numerous players, in part due to the way the game handles audio. Apart from speaking to friends over crinkly radios, many players believed that your voice played a huge role in making ghosts appear, causing a ghost to hunt you if you taunted it enough.

Turns out that was never true...until now. Phasmophobia developer Kinetic Games announced a new update for the game’s beta build on Monday, which now allows the game’s cast of ghosts to listen for player voices when hunting, spurring them to search the locations where noise originates.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/20/phasmophobia-first-time-ghost-hunting-goes-terribly-wrong"]

“Lots of people thought it was a feature so it has been added,” Kinetic Games tweeted. "This is experimental so please let me know if there are any issues."

Kinetic Games also shared that the new feature is based on how loud a player’s mic is, meaning you can still whisper while a ghost is hunting for your terrified fleshy body.

The new audio feature is sure to throw more boisterous players out of the frying pan and into the fire, and might play a significant role in Phasmophobia’s larger levels where players can put more distance between them and their ghostly target.

Star Wars games will now be brought together under a single banner, Lucasfilm Games. Announced today on StarWars.com, the company revealed that, "Lucasfilm Games is now the official identity for all gaming titles from Lucasfilm, a name that encompasses the company’s rich catalog of video games and its eye toward the future." It marks a similar move to Xbox Game Studios and PlayStation Studios, both of which group multiple developers under a single banner. All future Star Wars games will see the new Lucasfilm Games banner displayed.

Microsoft has revealed a new Pulse Red Xbox Wireless Controller colourway. It's now available for preorder from Best Buy. The striking peripheral was revealed on the Xbox blog, and is set to launch on February 9 "in most Xbox markets", but will launch in China tomorrow, on January 12. Microsoft has said that purchase of the controller will include a 14-day trial of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate in select markets. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=xbox-wireless-controller-pulse-red-images&captions=true"] The Pulse Red controller will cost $64.99 and features all of the same controller innovations introduced with the launch of Xbox's next-gen console, such as a USB-C port and a dedicated Share button. It's very similar in design to the Shock Blue colourway which arrived with the next-gen launch, given its white back case, black bumpers and D-pad. Similarly, the ABXY buttons are coded red on this model, so there's a nifty little motif in between them to show the original corresponding colours which may be displayed on-screen. In other peripheral news, Microsoft recently issued a survey to Series X and S owners asking if they wish PS5 DualSense features were present in the Series X controller.

Ghost of Tsushima fans helped contribute to the restoration of a real-life Torii gate on the Japanese island of Tsushima. As reported by Siliconera, the crowdfunding project to restore the gate at Watatsumi Shrine ended on January 10, amassing over 27 million yen.

Much to his surprise, Kevin Sullivan has been reading all the comments recently. As the creative director and writer on Season – the gorgeous, Ghibli-esque ‘adventure bicycle road trip game’ teased at The Game Awards last month – he has every reason to. Underneath IGN’s upload of the trailer alone, you’ll repeatedly see words like “stunning”, “amazing”, “captivating”, and “getting a cozy apocalypse vibe”. If you were showing your cozy, apocalyptic game for the very first time, it’s more or less exactly what you’d hope for.

“The response has been super generous, and really friendly, and quite touching,” Sullivan tells me on a video call. “Because there's not a lot of context and the teaser is basically a minute long.” He laughs and gives an unexpectedly neat explanation of quite how good those comments have been: “My mom reads the comments on Season stuff. I don't think people on the internet are thinking that these people's moms are reading this.”

He stops himself for a moment and adds some sage advice: “Before you post the comment, imagine that the person's mom reads it.”

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/11/season-announcement-trailer"]

Delighted mothers aside, perhaps the most interesting thing about that warm reception, though, is how little was shown of the game itself to provoke that response. From the teaser, the official website from developer Scavengers Studio, and a PS Blog post, we can surmise that Season revolves around cycling through a world on the brink of a cataclysm, and recording its culture and nature using a video camera, a tape recorder, and a sketchbook. That’s about it.

Cyberpunk 2077's ongoing development, and CD Projekt Red's approach to refunds, are being investigated and monitored by Poland's consumer protection agency, which has the power to fine the company up to 10% of its yearly income. Dziennik Gazeta Prawna reports that UOKiK, Poland's Office of Competition and Consumer Protection is looking into "confusion" around the game's launch, and has asked CD Projekt Red for an explanation into what occurred. A UOKiK spokesperson (translated by IGN Poland) explained: "We are asking the company for explanation regarding problems with the game and actions taken by them. We will check how the developer is working on patches or solving issues preventing playing on various consoles, but also what steps [the company] is planning to take regarding people [who requested refunds] and are not happy with their purchase because they can't play the game on owned hardware, despite assurances by the producer." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/5-best-pc-mods-to-help-fix-cyberpunk-2077"] UOKiK will await CD Projekt's explanation, and then decide on next steps. Those next steps could be significant. UOKiK could choose to fine the company up to 10% of its income for the last financial year. Per the report, UOKiK could alternatively ask the developer to issue "digital bonuses" to those who bought the game for last-gen consoles.

The long-awaited console edition of Facepunch Studio's Rust has been rated by the ESRB for Xbox One and PS4. The ESRB rating mentions that the game will be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with no mention of the next-gen consoles, though the game will likely be playable on the PS5 and Series X/S via backwards compatibility. With ratings announcements usually coming shortly before release, it seems likely we'll get an official release announcement in the near future. The announcement that Rust would be coming to consoles in November of 2019 came during the XO19 conference, with a planned release date of 2020. The popular survival game slipped outside of that window, with port studio Double Eleven shifting estimations towards 2021 in a December 2020 update. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/15/rust-console-announcement-trailer"] "We’re sorry that we haven’t been able to bring you Rust on console in 2020 as planned," the blog post reads. We know from all of the messages that you’re excited to play it and we hope that with the dawn of 2021 we can restore your trust as we edge closer to being able to share something with you." Rust originally launched all the way back in 2013, at the start of the survival game boom. It has recently seen a massive resurgence on Twitch, with top streamers like Hasan Piker and Limmy playing the game live. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN.

Episode 2 Act 1 of Valorant is set to kick off on January 12, and with it arrives a new Infiltrator Duelist named Yoru. As reported by Eurogamer, Yoru is a stealthy agent who can turn invisible and send out fake footsteps to confuse and distract enemies. Riot released a new cinematic featuring Yoru and the descriptions of all of his abilities, which are as follows;

• C: Fakeout - Equip an echo that mimics footsteps when activated. Fire to activate and send the echo forward. Alt fire to place an echo in place. Use the inactive echo to send it forward.
• E: Gatecrash - Equip to harness a rift tether. Fire to send the tether out moving forward. Alt fire to place a tether in place. Activate to teleport to the tether's location.
• Q: Blindside - Equip to rip an unstable dimensional fragment from reality. Fire to throw the fragment, activating a flash that winds up once it collides with a hard surface in world.
• X: Dimensional Drift - Equip a mask that can see between dimensions. Fire to drift into Yoru's dimension, unable to be affected or seen by enemies from the outside.

"When we started talking about the goals for this agent we knew it was time to shake things up in Valorant," said Valorant product lead John Goscicki. "The idea of 'Stealthly Infiltration' is something we toyed around with for years, but could never fit in the game.

Constantin Liétard has created a way for Twitter to play Pokemon Red through his profile picture.

WB Games Montreal has revealed that, while Gotham Knights will have a similar feel to the Batman Arkham games, the combat has been "entirely redesigned" so that it works well for the game's focus on co-op play. Speaking to GamesRadar, WB Games Montreal, who developed Batman: Arkham Origins, spoke about this change and how players will be able to expect more "variety and challenge" in Gotham Knights. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/22/batman-gotham-knights-announcement-trailer"] "We have entirely redesigned the combat system in order for it to work well in co-op," says Fleur Marty, executive producer of Gotham Knights. "Of course, we're still a brawler, and some of the mechanics won't feel totally alien for people who played and enjoyed the Arkham series, but it is in many ways very different." Gotham Knights, which features two-player online co-op, follows the story of Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, and the Red Hood as they attempt to protect Gotham City after the fall of Batman. There will be five boroughs of Gotham City for players and their friends to explore and many of Batman's iconic villains to stop. "The two-player dynamic fits the fantasy and the Gotham City setting. The 'duo' or team-up is such a central feature of the universe that there's a literal shorthand for it in the comics, animation, film, and TV versions," says Gotham Knights creative director Patrick Redding.

Sony has "retired" the Killzone franchise website, but it has promised that this change will not affect any online multiplayer modes. As reported by VGC, visitors to Killzone.com are now greeted with a message by developer Guerrilla Games that begins by saying, "The official website for the KILLZONE franchise has retired. Going forward, visitors to Killzone.com will be directed to PlayStation.com." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2013/11/13/killzone-shadow-fall-video-review"] The message also mentions that while this change does not impact online multiplayer modes of Killzone games, player statistics or ranking data for Killzone Mercenary and Killzone Shadow Fall, it is "now no longer possible to create or manage clans in Killzone Shadow Fall." Guerrilla ends by thanking "Killzone.com’s many fans and visitors throughout the years for their enthusiasm and support." While this doesn't necessarily mean that the Killzone franchise is gone forever, it has been over seven years since Killzone Shadow Fall was released as a launch title for the PlayStation 4, and Guerrilla has since moved on to Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/11/horizon-forbidden-west-horizon-2-reveal-trailer-ps5-reveal-event"] PS2's Killzone began the series in 2004 and PSP's Killzone: Liberation followed in 2006. The PS3 had two entries - 2009's Killzone 2 and 2011's Killzone 3, and 2013 saw the release of Killzone: Mercenary on Vita and aforementioned Killzone Shadow Fall.

The first step is to visit the Sony support page for owners of a PS VR headset (Models CUH-ZEY1 or CUH-ZEY2) and request the PS4 PlayStation Camera adapter to work on PS5. If you weren't aware, the PS5's HD Camera is not compatible with the original PSVR, so this will be the only current option for those looking to bring their PSVR with them to the next-generation. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/28/ps5-official-launch-trailer-featuring-travis-scott"] Once received, you can plug the PlayStation Camera adaptor into the USB Type-A port in the back of your PS5 console, and then connect the PlayStation Camera to the AUX port on the adaptor. If you want to grab one of these adaptors, you'll need to provide your PSVR processor unit serial number, first name, last name, email address, shipping address, and phone number. Your serial number can be found on the rear panel of the PSVR processor unit. Only one PlayStation Camera adaptor can be redeemed per household. All regions should be eligible, but check the support page to make totally sure.
