For those eager for their next MCU fix and wondering what time Marvel's WandaVision comes out each week, the new Disney Plus series is being released Fridays at midnight PT/3am ET. WandaVision has already released its first eight episodes, which began to drop on Friday, January 15, followed by one new episode every week for the remainder of its release schedule.

WandaVision Episode 9 Release Date and Time

The latest chapter of WandaVision, episode 8, became available on Friday, February 26 at midnight PT/3am ET on Disney Plus. Read our reviews of WandaVision's two-part premiere and episode 7 for a deep dive into the new series, and check out our explainer on when WandaVision takes place in the MCU timeline. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=wandavision-all-the-marvel-and-tv-easter-eggs-in-every-episode&captions=true"] While Disney has not released a synopsis for individual upcoming episodes - opting only to give them blurbs and even names after they've been released - the streamer describes WandaVision as "a blend of classic television and the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany) – two super-powered beings living idealized suburban lives – begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems," according to the Season 1 logline.

When Does WandaVision Season 1 Release?

Disney+ is releasing new episodes of WandaVision Season 1 weekly on Fridays, which is a trend the streamer has followed since Disney+ launched back in 2019, instead of opting for Netflix's binge model of releasing a whole season at once. After WandaVision's two-episode premiere on Friday, January 15, Disney+ will air the following seven episodes every Friday until the Season 1 finale, which will release on Friday, March 5, 2021.

What Time Does the New WandaVision Episode Come Out?

The time each new episode of WandaVision Season 1 is expected to drop is at 12am PT/3am ET on Friday morning in the US, which is 8am in the UK and 6:30pm ACT/7pm AET in Australia. WandaVision will be available globally wherever Disney Plus is available.

Disney is officially ending its annual theme park passholder program due to the “continued uncertainty of the [COVID-19] pandemic and limitations and expected restrictions around the reopening of our theme parks.”

Disney announced the news in an email to annual passholders and on Twitter. IGN employees who are annual passholders also received the email. Disney said it will begin processing refunds to Disneyland Resort Annual Passport holders and sunsetting the program as a whole for an indeterminate amount of time.

Disney’s annual passholder program is the theme park’s version of an all-year all-access membership, popular with California residents and Disney diehards. Depending on what tier you purchase, the pass allows holders to visit both Disneyland parks all year, with certain exceptions. It also gives holders certain discounts on Disney merchandise.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"]

People with annual passes as of March 14, 2020 will still receive discounts on merchandise, food, and beverages at select Downtown Disney and Buena Vista Street locations. From January 18 through February 25, 2021, passholders will receive a 30% discounts on select merchandise at the same locations.

“I know that sunsetting the Annual Passport program will be disappointing to many of our Passholders who are just as anxious as we are to reopen our gates and welcome Guests back when the time is right,” Disneyland Resort president Ken Potrock said in a statement.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/14/chris-evans-reportedly-returning-as-captain-america-ign-now"]

Disney says it is spending the interim between now and when the annual pass program resumes on developing new membership programs.

The change does not appear to impact annual passholders for Disney World, Disney’s larger Florida resort, only California’s Disneyland Resort.

Among Disney’s theme parks, Disneyland has seemingly been hit the hardest due to California’s tighter restrictions on business and large-scale crowd management during the COVID-19 pandemic. Disneyland plans to lay off approximately 32,000 employees by the end of the first fiscal half of 2021.

Potrock has previously had harsh words for California Governor Gavin Newsom’s decision to restrict theme park openings in the state, alleging that Newsom is holding theme parks to “arbitrary guidelines that it knows are unworkable and that hold us to a standard vastly different from other reopened businesses and state-operated facilities.”

California, particularly Los Angeles County (Disneyland is located in Anaheim, Orange County), is one of the largest hotbeds of COVID-19 cases and deaths in the United States. According to NBC News’ COVID-19 tracker, California has experienced nearly 3 million cases and more than 31,000 deaths.

Disneyland has also recently opened a “super” COVID-19 vaccination site, with plans to vaccinate approximately 7,000 people a day, according to CNN. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joseph Knoop is a writer/producer/Ziffkateer for IGN.

Axiom Verge — the critically-acclaimed Metroidvania — has released its first free content update six years after its release, a Randomizer Mode for all the speedrunners out there. Developer Tom Happ is busy working on the sequel Axiom Verge 2, but as a recognition of Axiom Verge’s popular speedrunning community, he has released a Randomizer Mode as a free update. The mode will let players randomize the items they get as they progress in the game. But instead of just a simple jumbler, the mode is “smart enough to know that in certain areas you need weapons with certain characteristics to progress.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/10/axiom-verge-2-announcement-trailer"] As par for the genre, players will need certain items to backtrack and access previously inaccessible areas. And the Randomizer will take this into account while still adding an element of chaos and difficulty for speedrunners. The Randomizer Mode is currently only available on Epic Games Store and Steam copies of Axiom Verge, with a console release slated for a later date. Epic Games Store users will find a beta version of Axiom Verge with the new mode automatically in their library. On Steam, players will right-click their copy of Axiom Verge in their library, go to Betas, and select the new version with the Randomizer update. Happ says he’s adding the “finishing touches” to Axiom Verge 2 and there will be an update on it soon. Check out IGN’s review of Axiom Verge for more. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M.

General Motors has unveiled a flying car concept and it looks like something straight out of Westworld. The flying car concept doesn’t have an official name but it is designed to be a single-seater electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=general-motors-evtol-car&captions=true"] The vehicle was unveiled as part of Cadillac’s Halo Portfolio of designs so it’s a long way from becoming a practical mode of transport. That said, Cadillac has a few of its mechanics figured out. The eVTOL aircraft will supposedly use a GM Ultium battery and a 90kWh electric motor to power four rotors similar to a drone. It also features a pack and an ultra-lightweight body with four pairs of rotors. Meanwhile, the largely glass cabin offers a panoramic view of the world below you. Unfortunately, that’s all about we know about the eVTOL concept as a GM spokesperson declined to share any more details on it. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?

The latest update for Season One is already live and it brings to the game a new melee weapon, a new multiplayer map, and two new maps for the PlayStation-exclusive mode Onslaught. There are also new modes for multiplayer and Zombies, and free access to the game's Zombies mode until January 21.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/11/8-things-to-know-about-call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war"] Specifically, today's update brings the "Wakizashi" katana-like melee weapon to the game as an in-game challenge unlockable and blueprint available for purchase in the new Disavowed Assassin bundle on the store, as well as the "Sanatorium" multiplayer map, which sees ten squads of four "head up to the Ural Plains to fight over objectives and vehicles on land, sea, and air."

On the Zombies side of things, "Cranked" is a new game mode available today and it sees players fighting zombies while racing against a clock that requires them to kill at least one undead enemy within a certain time limit. This mode is free for those that own Black Ops Cold War and it's free for anyone to try as the game's entire Zombies mode is free to play until January 21. The PlayStation-exclusive "Onslaught" mode has a new map called Raid available today, which takes place in a Los Angeles mansion overrun with hordes of zombies. On January 21, Operator Zeyna, who is pictured below, will be added to the game as part of a new store bundle and on February 4, the other half of this Season One update will go live. This February 4 update will add "Express," a map from Black Ops II, to the game as a 6v6 multiplayer map that features two trains looping around a transportation hub's main hall. Express will also go live as a map for Onslaught the same day. February 4 also marks the addition of the game's newest zombie map, "Firebase Z," which is the next chapter of the Black Ops Cold War Zombies storyline, according to Treyarch. Elsewhere in Season One, a Double Weapon XP weekend will take place from January 15 to January 19, 3v3 Face-Off will continue as a playlist featuring 3v3 Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, and Domination on various Gunfight maps, and Snipers Only Moshpit and Endurance Mode will make appearances throughout the season as playable modes. While waiting for all of this to drop, check out these 33 tips and tricks to help you in the game's multiplayer. Check out this walkthrough to find the Die Maschine zombies Easter egg after that and then read about how to unlock all Dark Ops challenges in the game.

Sonic the Hedgehog has been added as free playable character in Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 alongside Sonic music and avatars, a Boss Raid mode, and more. Available today on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, Sonic is joined by three other characters - Ms. Accord, Lidelle, and The Ocean Prince. These three characters are making their first appearance in a localized release since Puyo Pop Fever. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/14/puyo-puyo-tetris-2-new-content-trailer"] The Boss Raid mode allows you and three friends to take down a challenging CPU-controller boss. As you all play, you will pop Puyos and clear Tetriminos that will shake Garbage Puyos loose and cause the boss to lose HP. There will also be different difficulty levels that will increase the number of bosses players will have to fight in a row. There will be Chance Time challenges that pop up through the match that, when completed, will inflict major damage on the boss. Item Cards can be earned from Boss Raids, and players can use them in the Skill Battle mode. This update also adds four new Background Music tracks like the Sonic the Hedgehog theme song and 20 new avatars, including Sonic, Shadow the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Metal Sonic.
