Game Freak has announced Pokemon Legends: Arceus, an open-world action-RPG Pokemon game set in the feudal past of the Sinnoh region (the location of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl). It will arrive in Early 2022 for Pokemon Switch. Announced during today's Pokemon Presents broadcast, gameplay showed a game world reminiscent of Breath of the Wild, covered in wild Pokemon to catch, and seemingly using some action mechanics for play. The aim is to create Sinnoh's first Pokedex, and includes exploration, Pokemon capture, and a version of the series' traditional turn-based battles. Check out a gameplay trailer below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/pokmon-legends-arceus-official-trailer"] The game aims to "break new ground" for the Pokemon series, and features Rowlet, Cyndaquil, or Oshawott as partner Pokemon. The game will centre around the mythical Pokemon Arceus, but no further story details were given. The player will travel out from the central Sinnoh Village to different areas of the region, using traditional Pokeballs to capture monsters. Ratehr than traditional capturing, however, the official website says you'll need to "observe them to learn their behavior, then carefully sneak up, aim your Poké Ball, and let fly!" It's not the only new Pokemon game set in Sinnoh - remakes of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl will be released in late 2021. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News.

Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl have been revealed. The games are 3D remakes of Pokemon's 2006 Nintendo DS entries, and are coming for Nintendo Switch. Announced during today's Pokemon Presents broadcast, these chibi-style remakes of Pokemon's generation 4 are planned for release in late 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/pokemon-brilliant-diamond-shining-pearl-official-trailer"] Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are intended as "faithful remakes" of the original Diamond and Pearl. But instead of being made by the usual studio, Game Freak, they're being made by ILCA inc, which has also worked on games like Pokemon Home, and was a support studio for Nier Automata and Yakuza 0. The games will be directed by original Diamond and Pearl director Junichi Masuda, as well as ILCA's Yuichi Ueda. The remakes have been rumoured for some time. We awarded Pokemon Diamond and Pearl an 8.5/10 review back in 2006, saying that, "as long as you're comfortable with playing 'more of the same,' which -- let's be honest here -- is more of a really excellent and strategically deep handheld experience, then it's thumbs up for the DS version [of Pokemon]." Meanwhile, Game Freak is working on Pokemon Legends Arceus, a game also taking place in the Sinnoh region of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, but many years in the past in a period stylized like feudal Japan.

I didn’t truly know what to expect from Stonefly, even after having played and enjoyed Flight School Studio’s last game, the pinball action title Creature in the Well. The hands-off demo we saw opened on a splash screen filled with foliage, greens, reds, and browns filling the screen, with a small, mech-like device perched on a tree branch. From there, jumping into the action – which sees protagonist Annika on a Ferris Bueller-style hunt to retrieve her dad’s lost mech (which she herself lost) – the colorful, soothing, and charming world of Stonefly unfurled, promising an adventure that looks to be full of heart and unique combat. Much like its developer’s last game, boiling Stonefly down to a buzzword genre or two doesn’t quite do justice to everything going on here, and I’m fascinated by the brief glimpse into this new world. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/stonefly-announcement-trailer"]

What Is Stonefly?

Taking on the role of inventor Annika, one of several Borrowers-sized humans in a forest world, players will go on a journey to recover her dad’s lost mech, but in doing so will explore the wider Maple Canopy, gliding from one branch or leaf’s edge to the next, harvesting minerals and learning more about the wider cast and Annika’s place in the world, in an adventure coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch, and PC this summer. What that translates to in actual gameplay terms, as evidenced by the extended hands-off demo I saw, is gameplay both in and out of Annika’s mech. While I only glimpsed just a bit of Annika walking around on her own, members of the development team explained how players will have the chance to interact with other members of their camp, walking around, chatting with other characters, and working on Annika’s mech to customize it (more on that in a bit). These on-foot sections definitely don’t appear to be the majority of the game, but players will need to sleep and progress the days of the story forward to keep pushing the narrative onward. The camp sections don’t seem like a huge leap from what Flight School did with Creature in the Well, where players could go to a boarded-up town to take a breather from the main campaign, upgrade, and more. Annika’s camp will do the same, letting you craft an upgrade or learn a new ability, but I always appreciate a story that lets you experience the world at your pace and have a location or setting to ground you as that all progresses. The small teases we get into Annika’s brilliant inventor mind (which extend to the rest of the game, as Annika thinks aloud to herself, represented onscreen though sadly not in voiceover, about new inventions and more as she explores), and the group around her left me immediately curious to know more about their lives. That’s in large part thanks to the story’s setup and how it’s married to the art style, creating an almost Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli-esque setting with plenty of potential while still remaining rooted in something relatable. Because while Annika’s realistic problems surrounding family, her legacy, and more are easy to recognize in our own lives, the rest of Stonefly dives right into the delightfully fantastic. Players will have their own crappy-at-first mech to spruce up, customizing it with new legs, a hull, and its color scheme, that they take out into the world, exploring, collecting minerals, and contending with the many bugs in their way.

Mech in the Wind

Stonefly’s isometric camera gives players a pretty sizeable view of the environment, as at any given time you might be trying to make a tricky hop from one area to the next, fending off - non-lethally - bugs that are greedily trying to take the minerals you need, and generally exploring the world. During my hands-off demo, Flight School explained they would expect players to probably spend about 95% of their time in the mech airborne, as you’re faster and more agile for both combat and exploration. The developers even described the mech’s jump as less of a jump and more of a bounce, giving some sense of weight and heft to the small but sturdy mech in an otherwise large world. Your mech will have a host of different abilities it can use, showcased in the lower right-hand corner, as contending with the many bug enemies will require some strategy. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=stonefly-announcement-screenshots&captions=true"] You’re never killing the bugs you interact with, much like Marvel’s Spider-Man never sees the webhead kill any of the thugs he beats up and webs to buildings. You’re instead trying to knock them away or off of whatever platform you’re on, as the precious minerals you’ll want to collect first are essentially Stonefly’s currency to help you earn upgrades. There are about a dozen bug species, each requiring different strategies to overtake - I witnessed small bugs the player could easily shoo away, while other bugs needed first to be flipped over, as their study exterior prevented the player from knocking them back. But however you’re approaching bugs or environmental challenges, wind will play a significant part of the journey. Stonefly’s levels are a bit more open and less defined to offer players some freedom in exploring the natural environments, but if you ever lose your way, you can call on a series of tracking flies to guide you, similar to the guiding winds in Ghost of Tsushima. You’ll also use wind to reach new locations, and based on the combat I saw, much of your mech’s abilities are tied somewhat to the force and momentum needed to push and knock enemies away. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/06/creature-in-the-well-launch-trailer"] There certainly seems to be depth there, too - not just in the different approaches needed for the variety of enemy types, but also for the volume of foes you might be facing at any one time. I witnessed both smaller bouts and swarms of enemies, and it’s clear you’ll have to learn some smart crowd control if you want to make off with as much of each mineral horde as possible. The developers also teased that there will be some higher-risk, difficult missions with limited time to explore as well via a look at the game’s beautiful map, which is something Annika draws and adds to herself as the 10-ish hour journey goes on. And while I’m eager to see how deep the abilities and upgrades allow the combat to go, I came away most impressed by my first look at Stonefly thanks to its startling visuals and imaginative world design. There’s a beautiful use of color inspired by the mid-century modern designer Charley Harper, and sharp geometric shapes create a fascinating blend of 3D worlds with a touch of 2D flair. There’s something simultaneously welcoming and familiar yet strange and mysterious about Stonefly’s world. Taking something everyday like the trees and foliage around us, zooming in on a microscale to give those familiar elements a sense of scale and scope, and setting a human story in this fantastic world left me fascinated by what’s waiting to be discovered. The world seems brimming with possibility, a new delightful surprise hiding behind each leaf in the corners of the screen.

Update It's baaaaack. The extremely popular 50% off deal went away when CBS All Access turned into Paramount+, but now it's available again with a new coupon code. All you have to do is sign up for a year and enter the coupon code YEAR at checkout. You can get it here. If you're looking to add another monthly streaming service to your dossier, you've no doubt heard about Paramount+, the newest major network to enter the streaming fray. But what, exactly, is Paramount+ and what's its relationship to CBS All Access? Read on to unravel the mystery.

How Do I Sign Up for Paramount+?

[poilib element="commerceDeal" parameters="slug=paramount-plus-sign-up-deal"] Right now you can sign up for Paramount+ and save 50% off an annual subscription (normally $59.99). The plan with ads is normally $59.99, and the ad-free plan is $99.99 a year, so chopping those figures in half is a pretty sweet deal. Plus you get your first 7 days for free. When you get to the subscription page, make sure to click on the "Save 15% with an annual membership" to change the monthly to yearly rates. After that, enter the coupon code YEAR in the box to knock 50% off the subscription.

What Is Paramount+?

OK, so remember CBS All Access? Well, the simplified version is Paramount+ is basically CBS All Access with a new name. The slightly more advanced version is Paramount+ folded all of CBS All Access' content into the new service and added more shows and movies, as well as live sports and news, so it earned its "plus" rating. According to the Paramount+ FAQ, the new service adds "exclusive new original series," along with "thousands of additional episodes from CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Smithsonian Channel," and also promises "hundreds of movies from Paramount Pictures." So there's a lot of new stuff, for sure. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/24/halo-tv-series-will-debut-on-streaming-service"]

How Much Does Paramount+ Cost?

If you want Paramount+ with ad-supported content, it's $5.99 a month or $59.99 for a full year. If you'd rather not watch commercials, you can sign up for ad-free Paramount+ for $99.99 a year. If you sign up now, you can save 50% off an annual subscription by using coupon code YEAR, which is pretty sweet.

If I Have Paramount+ With Ads, Can I Upgrade?

Yeah totally. As long as you have a Paramount+ account, monthly or annual, you can upgrade your plan to whatever fits your needs. However, the sign-up page warns trial subscribers will forfeit any time they have left on their 7-day free trial, so it's best to maximize your value by waiting that one out.

Every Movie and TV Series Coming to Paramount+

For my money, it doesn't get much better than an all-new Beavis and Butthead movie, but there are plenty of other newly-announced shows coming to Paramount+. Mission Impossible 7, A Quiet Place 2, a Workaholics movie, a new Reno 911 special and more were recently announced for Paramount+. The Halo TV series is moving from Showtime to Paramount+, and there's also a Frasier revival in the works and a weird-looking Rugrats reboot. For a list of everything coming to Paramount+ at launch and in the future, check out the gallery below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-exclusive-movie-and-tv-series-coming-to-paramount&captions=true"]

Batman is returning to the world of Fortnite, and he's bringing Catwoman and Harley Quinn along for the ride. This latest collaboration between DC and Epic Games is dubbed Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point. But while this isn't the Dark Knight's first dalliance with Fortnite, this crossover is unique in that it's primarily driven by a comic book tie-in. Naturally, there will also be new Batman-themed costumes and items coming to the game. [caption id="attachment_2479303" align="aligncenter" width="3818"] Harley Quinn's DC Rebirth costume is the first of several new items and skins being added to Fortnite. (Image Credit: Epic Games)[/caption] Zero Point is a six-issue limited series scripted by Christos Gage (Spider-Geddon), based on a concept and story consultation from Epic's Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard. The series features art from Reilly Brown, Christian Duce, Nelson DeCastro and John Kalisz. Zero Point brings the Dark Knight and other DC icons like Catwoman and Harley Quinn crashing into the Fortnite universe, with Batman struggling to remember who he is and where he came from and solve the mystery of the Zero Point. The series will be in-canon with the Fortnite universe and add new layers to the game's mythology. DC's press release teases, "As [Batman] fights to recall his past and escape an endless loop of chaos and struggle, he’ll come face-to-face with the likes of Renegade Raider, Fishstick, Bandolier, and more. While the world's greatest detective strives to make sense of this strange new world, he’ll uncover the shocking truth about the Island, what lies beyond the Loop, and how everything is connected to the mysterious Zero Point." Each issue of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point will be released day-and-date in print and digital formats, but Fortnite fans will have special incentive to buy the print versions. Each print issue will include a DLC code for a Batman-themed item or costume to use in Fortnite, with the first being a DC Rebirth Harley Quinn costume. Collecting all six codes will allow players to unlock an exclusive "Armored Batman Zero" skin. So yes, you can finally be Batman again in Fortnite, but that privilege requires a certain level of commitment. Alternatively, Zero Point will also be free to read for subscribers of the DC Universe Infinite service, along with the DLC codes. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=batmanfortnite-zero-point-1-preview&captions=true"] “When DC first approached me about doing a Batman/Fortnite series I thought it would be a lot of fun,” said Gage in DC's press release. ”After speaking with Donald [Mustard] and discovering just how deeply we'd be diving into the secrets behind the world of Fortnite, I was amazed! This series will reveal things about Fortnite that have never been seen or heard before yet are very much part of the canon of the game.” “I’m also looking forward to integrating other DC Super Heroes into the series, characters that Batman has existing relations with,” Gage continued. “It’ll be exciting to share with fans how these relationships will be reshaped in this new world. The art by Reilly, Christian, Nelson, and John is stunning, and my prediction is that this series will blow everybody’s mind, whether you’re a fan of DC, Batman or Fortnite.” Each issue of Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point is priced at $4.99 for the standard cover and $5.99 for the cardstock variant cover. The series will debut on Tuesday, April 20, with new issues shipping twice-monthly until the finale on July 6. Batman isn't the only DC hero putting in an appearance in Fortnite this year. Epic recently added a Flash skin modeled after the Arrowverse TV series. The game is also bringing in Ellen Ripley and the Alien Xenomorph. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/02/26/fortnite-ripley-and-alien-xenomorph-trailer"] Previously in 2020, Epic collaborated with Marvel Comics to bring Thor, Wolverine and other playable Marvel heroes into Fortnite: Season 2, Chapter 4. That crossover also had a comic book tie-in in Fortnite X Marvel: Nexus War - Thor #1, though that issue was framed a standalone prelude to the in-game content. Funnily enough, this shared Fortnite connection is the closest thing to a Marvel/DC crossover we've seen in almost 20 years. The two publishers haven't collaborated on a crossover together since 2003's JLA/Avengers, though the final issue of DC's Watchmen sequel Doomsday Clock offers some hope that'll change one day.
