A new Halo game is seemingly in the works, if a recent Microsoft job listing is anything to go by. The producer job posting, which has been advertised on the Microsoft careers website since February 6, reveals that Halo series developer 343 Industries is working on a new entry in the Halo franchise. The listing states that 343i is looking to hire a producer "to help develop a new project in the Halo universe", which presumably signals that the new employee would not be working on Halo Infinite. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/23/halo-infinite-9-minutes-of-campaign-gameplay"] The job listing specifically asks for experience in shipping AAA games for the current generation, which all but rules out the idea that this Halo project would come in any form other than a game. However, the listing offers no clues about the content of the game, or when it might arrive. While there's no confirmed information on the new project, a recent rumour could point to a potential direction. Per a VG24/7 article in November 2020, a now-deleted post on Twitter suggested that two other games – Halo Wars 3, and a spin-off following Halo 5's Fireteam Osiris – were being planned by 343i. Whatever project 343i's new producer will be working on, it's hoped that the unannounced title will have a smoother development process than the next entry in the series. Halo Infinite has suffered numerous setbacks since its initial July 2020 reveal, with criticism of its graphics causing 343i to postpone its launch until fall 2021. and director Chris Lee departing the project in October 2020. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="legacyId=20068184&captions=true"] In more recent Halo Infinite news, 343i promised to provide in-depth monthly updates on its development, with the first instalment explaining how Halo Infinite will have a restructured, fully customizable control scheme and how the FPS title is being optimized for PC, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One.

Update 03/01/2021: Terraria will be coming to Stadia after all, after the game's co-creator had access to their Google accounts restored. In an update on the Terraria forum, Terraria admin Loki wrote:

"As you may have noticed, we had a ton of issues to kick off the year stemming from the locking-down of [co-creator Andrew Spinks'] entire Google account in early January. After a month of pushing (and with the immense support of our fans), Google finally reached out and was able to provide a lot of transparency around the situation and to restore access to all of our accounts.

Due to the hard work the Stadia team has put in - as well as our partners at 505 Games - we have decided that we will allow the upcoming launch Terraria on Google Stadia to proceed. The Terraria Stadia build is based on the DR Studios 1.4.0.5 (latest) build, and is currently at Google for certification review."

We've contacted developer Re-Logic for comment on its plans for future games' release on Stadia. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Update: The developers of Terraria, Re-Logic, have shared more details about what their severed ties with Google mean. Including how the boycott will include future versions of Terraria and future games from the studio. But existing versions of Terraria on Android and Google Play will not be impacted by the co-creator's decisions today. In a statement to IGN, Re-Logic says “Punishing existing customers who paid for our game on these platforms is not what we are about. To be clear: there should be no impact whatsoever to Terraria on Google platforms, both existing/purchased games as well as ongoing store availability.” The studio also provided a more in-depth timeline on how its issues with Google came about. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Original Story: The co-creator of Terraria has canceled the upcoming Google Stadia version of the game after his Google accounts were locked. Andrew Spinks, or Demilogic on Twitter, explained that he has lost access to all of his Google accounts, including Google Play, Google Drive, YouTube and Gmail. Spinks has been trying to recover them for over three weeks, but his attempts have been unsuccessful, as he claims he has been "given the runaround" by Google. "I absolutely have not done anything to violate your terms of service, so I can take this no other way than you deciding to burn this bridge," Spinks adds. "Consider it burned. Terraria for Google Stadia is cancelled. My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward."

I absolutely have not done anything to violate your terms of service, so I can take this no other way than you deciding to burn this bridge. Consider it burned. #Terraria for @GoogleStadia is canceled. My company will no longer support any of your platforms moving forward.

"I will not be involved with a corporation that values their customers and partners so little," Spinks continues. "Doing business with you is a liability." Just a few days ago, fans had spotted that Terraria had been rated for Google Stadia on the Pan European Game Information website. It now looks like that version of the game won't see the light of day. Spinks' Google difficulties appear to have started in late January when Terraria's official YouTube account was disabled. The Terraria Official Twitter account posted about it last week in a (unfortunately fruitless) effort to grab Google's attention. Explaining the scale of the issue, Spinks wrote: "My phone has lost access to thousands of dollars of apps on @GooglePlay. I had just bought LOTR 4K and can't finish it. My @googledrive data is completely gone. I can't access my @YouTube channel. The worst of all is losing access to my @gmail address of over 15 years." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/terraria-first-two-nights-in-terraria-tutorial-video"] Back in 2011, we awarded Terraria on PC a 9/10 review, saying, "This devious little indie sandbox title borrows so many ideas from Notch's game that it essentially is Minecraft in 2D, but it also beefs up the familiar gameplay in exciting ways." The game has since come to a dozen more platforms, but it seems Stadia won't join that list. In other Google Stadia news, Google recently shut down all of its internal games studios, affecting approximately 150 employees.

Marshall, a 15-week old Boston Terrier playing in his rookie year in the prestigious Puppy Bowl, has been officially named the Puppy Bowl XVII MVP. Hailing from Salem, VA, Marshall dug deep and pulled hard for his team as part of the 2021 Starting Line-Up at this year's Puppy Bowl. Snoop Dogg and Jailbird Martha Stewart were there to kick off the 17th annual Puppy Bowl, which once again pitted champion against chomp'ion in a battle for the Lombarky Trophy. While the world outside of Geico Stadium has been forced to take a time-out all year long, no quarantine could keep these canine competitors from doing their doody on the field. Team Ruff in their "Fido-range" bandannas were looking for something missing after the "Blue Bones" of the Fluff team neutered their chances of a threepeat in 2020's startling upset, but the Ruffs aren't the type to turn tail and flee from a challenge. The two greatest to ever play the game were unleashed in a battle to see who would come out as top dog, making this one Bowl game not to miss! Puppy Bowl XVII MVP (Most Valuable Puppy) award winner Marshall may be hearing-impaired, but there's no mistaking the woof of this warrior -- on the field and off. Playing for Team Fluff, Marshall scored a rare spinning-double-touchdown in the first quarter to give his team an early lead. When not scoring touchdowns at the Puppy Bowl, Marshall trains with Puppy Bowl XVI veteran Killian at Green Dogs Unleashed to become a therapy dog for those in need. [caption id="attachment_2470629" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Little Marshall may be completely deaf, but he is also definitely eager to compete. Photo Credit: Elias Weiss Friedman, Animal Planet[/caption] This was the sweet 17th annual Puppy Bowl, but for the fans of the underdog Ruff team, they saw their their team spending much of the game with the same view as a musher in the Iditarod: nothing but the lead dog hinder. With big touchdown scores from the MVP "Mad Dog" Marshall, Milky Way the "Terrible Bruiser" Terrier/Boxer, and Beliveau the Beautiful, the Fluffs were top dogs going into the half, and they continued to rub Ruff's nose into their mess by taking a two touchdown lead in the third. Still, these young dogs on the Ruffs were ready to learn some new tricks to keep the tug-of-war going. "Multiple" Muffin heated things up with twin touchdowns, and Tank the "Rotten" Rottweiler also took it to the doghouse twice. In the final few seconds of the game, it was "Wiseguy" Paulie up against a mob of Terriers and Coonhounds as he battled Milky Way and Aaron Pawgers for the big score that would end it all. Final score: 69 to 73 for the Ruffs, and the big dogs are back on top. [youtube clip_id="t3-XNma1QE8"] Each and every one of these canine competitors left it all on the field in this year's big game. And in the end, no pup was left out in the cold, as Animal Planet found adoptive parents for the stars of the event. Puppy Bowl XVII was one for the Hound Hall of Fame. Stay tuned to IGN for more information on Fluff as it becomes apparent.

Reddit has referenced the recent GameStop stock market frenzy in a new, 5-second Super Bowl spot which needed to be paused to be read. “One thing we learned from our communities last week is that underdogs can accomplish just about anything when they come together around a common idea,” read the brief message to viewers. “Who knows, maybe you’ll be the reason finance textbooks have to add a chapter on ‘tendies.’” The stock market drama surrounding GameStop saw its stock surge to record levels due to a battle between short-sellers and an informal group of hobby investors who joined forces via the subreddit r/WallStreetBets. GameStop’s stock skyrocketed over 1,700% as a result, leaving exposed short-seller hedge fund Melvin Capital and others in massive financial strife to the tune of billions of dollars. Despite the fact the situation is still ongoing, a movie is already in the works based on a book from New York Times best-selling author Ben Mezrich. The book hasn’t even been written yet but promises to tell the story of “a ragtag group of amateur investors, gamers, and internet trolls who brought Wall Street to its knees.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/28/what-is-going-on-with-gamestop-stock-ign-now"]

Super Bowl Sunday isn't just about football. It's also long been a huge opportunity for Hollywood to promote some of their hottest upcoming movies during what is frequently the most-watched live TV event in the US every year. But with the pandemic perpetually postponing film openings, studios are expected to dial back on pushing theatrical releases in their Big Game Spots this year in favor of touting their respective streaming services and hybrid theatrical/digital movie releases. The first big movie spot to drop during the pre-game for Super Bowl LV was for F9, Universal's next installment in their long-running Fast & Furious saga. The movie was supposed to open last year but was postponed to 2021 due to the pandemic. The studio also dropped a spot for Nobody, their upcoming action-thriller that sees Bob Odenkirk go full John Wick on a bunch of bad guys. Universal also revealed the first trailer for director M. Night Shyamalan's next thriller, Old. Disney also dropped the first look at Marvel's Falcon and the Winter Soldier and a new spot for Raya and the Last Dragon. We'll be updating this list throughout the Super Bowl broadcast so be sure to check back here for the latest movie spots!

The re-cut film will reportedly contain around 150 minutes of unseen footage and "about four minutes or five minutes of additional photography." It will also boast a new score by Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg), who was replaced by composer Danny Elfman when Joss Whedon assumed directorial duties on the original 2017 version of Justice League. Snyder's R-rated Justice League comes to HBO Max on March 18.
