Fortnite's latest collaboration not only allows players to purchase an in-game outfit based on G.I.

Snake Eyes is available now in Fortnite's Item Shop, and the full set includes the Katana Pickaxe and Katana Back Bling. As for the Fortnite G.I. Joe Collab Snake Eyes: Zero Point Edition action figure, it costs $39.99 and includes Snake Eye's Katana - Morning Light - and a sheath accessory inspired by the G.I. Joe universe. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=fortnites-gi-joe-collaboration-snake-eyes-outfit-and-hasbro-action-figure&captions=true"] This edition also includes such Fortnite items as the "Harpoon Launcher, Boogie Bomb, Grenade, Clinger, Chiller Grenade, as well as the Submachine weapon and Mythic Shockwave Launcher accessories featuring the Weathered Black Wrap deco as seen in-game."

Hitman 3’s DLC May Be a ‘Reimagining’ of Existing Locations

While Hitman 3 has officially launched with the aim to end the World of Assassination Trilogy, IO Interactive is planning on developing DLC that reimagines existing locations. Speaking to TheGamer, Hitman 3 executive producer Forest Swartout Large explained that, even though the studio is developing a new James Bond game, it is "continuously working on Hitman so we are already looking to the future." IO Interactive has multiple teams, and at least one will continue to support Hitman 3 with post-launch patches and DLC. However, Large warns that it most likely won't include new levels like Hitman 2's New York bank level or Haven Island. Instead, the team is looking to use "existing locations and reimagining them, twisting them." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/19/hitman-3-review"] "We are definitely going to be doing some DLC, but we haven’t defined what that is," Large said. "I think for now we are not looking at new maps like the bank and the island. We’re more looking at using existing locations and reimagining them, twisting them. And this time around, we can use the whole trilogy. We can look back at Hitman 2016 maps, Hitman 2 maps - we have all the locations." In our Hitman 3 review, we said "Rich, rewarding, and highly replayable, Hitman 3 is a superb installment of IO’s idiosyncratic but much-loved stealth series. The fundamentals haven’t changed since 2016 but its collection of outstanding maps makes for a refined, reliable, and robust curtain-closer to the current Hitman trilogy." Hitman 3 has already made back its costs in one week, so its no surprise that IO Interactive will want to continue to support it. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-hitman-review&captions=true"] For more on Hitman 3, check out our look at why this game proves IO Interactive is ready for the 007 license, how to get Hitman and Hitman 2 levels into Hitman 3, and our best tips and tricks to help you become the ultimate assassin.

The Matrix 4 Full Title Reportedly Leaked

According to a new leak, the title for The Matrix 4 is allegedly The Matrix Resurrections. As reported by Yahoo, the title comes via a gift sent to a hairstylist from The Matrix 4, which was a trench coat featuring The Matrix's iconic digital rain. The hairstylist shared the gift in a now deleted Instagram post, but it was saved by those like YouTuber NeoMatrixology. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/matrix-4-dune-more-2021-movies-coming-to-hbo-max-ign-now"] Alongside the trench coat was a letter that reads, "...during these extraordinary times in the making of Matrix Resurrections. Wir lieben euch, Lana & James." Furthermore, parts of the digital rain on the trench coat also appear to make out the word resurrections. The hairstylist mentioned that the gift was from "directors" Lana Wachowski and James McTeigue. However, McTeigue is only listed as producer on IMDB. While it's important to take these leaks with a grain of salt, the hairstylist in question is in fact listed as The Matrix 4's Key Hairstylist: Germany. The Matrix 4, or possibly The Matrix Resurrections, will be released in theaters and on HBO Max on December 22, 2021. While Laurence Fishburne has said he won't be returning as Morpheus, Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss will be reprising their roles as Neo and Trinity, respectively.

A New Lawsuit Accuses Valve of Abusing Its Power to Keep PC Game Prices High

A new lawsuit filed by five gamers in California federal court accuses Valve of abusing its power to keep PC game prices high. As reported by THR, this lawsuit claims that Valve does not maintain its dominance over the PC market by offering better prices on Steam than other platforms, but does so by abusing its power to require developers to enter what is known as a 'Most Favored Nations' clause. "Valve Corporation’s Steam platform is the dominant platform for game developers to distribute and sell PC games in the United States," states the complaint being handled by attorneys at Vorys, Sater, Seymour, and Pease. "But the Steam platform does not maintain its dominance through better pricing than by rival platforms. Instead, Valve abuses the Steam platform’s market power by requiring game developers to enter into a 'Most Favored Nations' provision contained in the Steam Distribution Agreement whereby the game developers agree that the price of a PC game on the Steam platform will be the same price the game developers sell their PC games on other platforms." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-modern-pc-games-summer-2020-update&captions=true"] The lawsuit also alleges that, because Valve requires developers to enter this 'Most Favored Nations' clause, it "hinders innovation by creating an artificial barrier to entry for platforms" and keeps prices high on other digital storefronts like the Epic Games Store and the Microsoft Store. "The Steam MFN also hinders innovation by creating an artificial barrier to entry for platforms," adds the complaint. "When a market, such as this one, is highly concentrated, a new entrant can benefit consumers by undercutting the incumbent’s prices. The ability to provide PC games to consumers at lower prices is one way a firm or new entrant could gain market share. If this market functioned properly—that is, if the Steam MFN did not exist and platforms were able to compete on price—platforms competing with Steam would be able to provide the same (or higher) margins to game developers while simultaneously providing lower prices to consumers." CD Projekt S.A., CD Projekt, Inc., Ubisoft Entertainment S.A., Ubisoft, Inc., Ubisoft L.A., Inc., kChamp Games, Inc., Rust, LLC, and Devolver Digital, Inc. are also included as defendants on the lawsuit, with the plaintiffs accusing these companies of agreeing with the Steam platform to the Steam MFN. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/23/half-life-alyx-review"] This new class action lawsuit follows Valve, Capcom, Bandai Namco, Focus Home, Koch Media, and ZeniMax being fined $9.4 million by the European Commission over the practice of "geo-blocking."

GoldenEye 007: Footage of Cancelled Xbox 360 Remaster Discovered

A full playthrough and thirty minutes of multiplayer have surfaced for the cancelled Xbox Live Arcade remaster of the N64 classic GoldenEye 007. YouTuber Graslu00 shared the GoldenEye 007 XBLA (2007) - Longplay, which is running at 4K/60 FPS on the Xenia emulator, and it gives fans a glimpse of what Rare's remaster would have looked like had rights issues not gotten in the way. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2012/03/29/35-golden-gun-goldeneye-007-igns-top-100-video-game-weapons"] This isn't the first time we've seen footage of this cancelled project that appeared to be mostly finished, as a smaller look of gameplay surfaced in 2016 that showed upgraded visuals, the ability to switch back and forth between older and remastered graphics, and more. A modern re-imagining/remake of GoldenEye 007 was released for the Wii in 2010 by Activision and, in our review, we said "What could have ended up a game that cruised on autopilot and simply relied on a name to sell it has turned out to be one of the best first-person shooters on Wii. GoldenEye has a fantastic single-player campaign that feels both fresh and familiar, and the multiplayer attention – something most GoldenEye Nintendo 64 fans hold near and dear to their hearts – is incredible and something rarely seen on the Nintendo console." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2010/11/02/goldeneye-007-video-review"] On the YouTube video, Graslu00 notes that they were told that this version will possibly be released in some form to the public in 2021. While we may not be getting a proper GoldenEye remaster anytime soon, Hitman developer IO Interactive is working on a new James Bond game that will "let players step in to the shoes of the world's favorite Secret Agent to earn their 00 status in the very first Bond origin story."
