The Edge of Reality will offer a "new and compelling first-person adventure" and feature the Thirteenth Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker. In addition, Thirteen will also be joined by the Tenth Doctor, played by David Tennant, as the story continues on from the events of The Edge of Time.
New gameplay, monsters, and worlds are teased, including the Cybermen, Daleks, and Weeping Angels. The player will aid the Doctor by wielding the Sonic Screwdriver to defeat a "universe-spanning threat" in a continuation of the story beats experienced in The Edge of Time.

The Edge of Reality is being built "with current and next-generation consoles in mind" and is currently confirmed for PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One. To get a feel for the game, check out our preview of The Edge of Time VR game from September 2019. Maze Theory has yet to explain how the VR gameplay has been adjusted for standard console controls, but expect a first-person adventure with plenty of puzzles.
In other Doctor Who news, it was recently revealed that Christopher Eccleston will be returning as the Ninth Doctor as part of a new audio series.

Ghost of Tsushima Will Be Playable on PS5 with 60FPS via Game Boost
Sucker Punch has confirmed that Ghost of Tsushima will be playable on PS5 on day one via backward compatibility, and PS5's Game Boost will allow for the game to reach frame rates of up to 60FPS.
Revealed on Twitter, Sucker Punch announced the details following PlayStation's breakdown of the top backward compatibility questions. In addition to what was mentioned above, Ghost of Tsushima will also support save transfers and even faster load times.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/05/ghost-of-tsushima-version-11-update-trailer"]
The quicker load times are an interesting, if obvious note, mostly because Sucker Punch previously said that it had to lengthen some of the game's loading screens on PS4 because they were so fast and players were having a tough time reading the tips.
This bit of good news for those looking to get a PS5 also arrives alongside the news that Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, a free co-op mode, will be out on October 16, 2020.
Ghost of Tsushima: Legends is part of the version 1.1 update that will add a New Game+ with additional trophies and a Ghost Flower merchant, Armor Loadouts, a play time indicator, new options for Photo Mode, and more.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ghost-of-tsushima-legends-and-version-11-new-game-screenshots&captions=true"]
Oh, and perhaps most importantly, it will also let players in New Game+ use the Charm of Canine Recruitment to pet dogs and make them their allies a.k.a. their new best friends.

Guilty Gear Strive Release Date Announced for PS5, PS4, and PC
Arc System Works has announced that Guilty Gear Strive will be released on April 9, 2021, on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. For those who wish to upgrade to the Deluxe or Ultimate Edition, the game will be playable from April 6, 2021.
The release date was given alongside a new trailer that promises that Guilty Gear Strive is "A Fresh Start for the Series" that began back in 1998 with the original Guilty Gear on PlayStation.
[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/03/guilty-gear-strive-trailer5-japan-fighting-game-publishers-roundtable"]
This fighting game boasts a striking visual style with hybrid 2D/3D cell-shaded graphics. There will also be a fully voiced story mode that is said to bring the story of Guilty Gear, which spans over 20 years, to a close. There will also be new characters joining fan favorites and a robust rollback net code.
Guilty Gear Strive was originally set to be released in 2020, but it was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The roster includes such characters as Sol Badguy, Ky Kiske, May, Faust, Potemkin, Chipp Zanuff, Zato-1, Millia Rage, and Axl Low. As part of our IGN Expo, we revealed that Ramlethal Valentine will be returning to Guilty Gear Strive, a female fighter who specializes in controlling the mid-range, and uses two large swords as her primary weapons (carried by her flying Luciferos partners).

Gal Gadot Playing Queen of Egypt in Cleopatra Movie
With Wonder Woman 1984 now, still tentatively, scheduled to be released in December, star Gal Gadot has signed on to play the lead in Cleopatra, which will once again team her with the director of both Wonder Woman films, Patty Jenkins.
After some squabbling over the rights (reportedly between Apple, Universal, Warner Bros. and Netflix), the project landed at Paramount and, per Variety, will star Gadot as the legendary queen of Egypt. Gadot will follow in the steps of Oscar-winners Claudette Colbert and Elizabeth Taylor, who both once played big screen versions of the role.
Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island, Alita: Battle Angel) will write the screenplay.
[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=wonder-woman-1984-photos&captions=true"]
Meanwhile, all the delays to Wonder Woman 1984, which was supposed to release last June, have fans even more curious about the story, which features villains Maxwell Lord and Cheetah.

Disney+ Reorganizes its Marvel Screen, Calls Non-MCU Films “Marvel Legacy Movies”
Almost a year after its launch Disney+ seems to have finally solved the messy interface with regard to its Marvel movies.
The site's superhero movies were previously listed in scattershot fashion but it now looks like a reorganization was done and that non-MCU titles (like X-Men and Fantastic Four) are considered "Marvel Legacy Movies."
The screenshot here (h/t to The Verge) shows you how things are laid out right now on a Disney+ U.S. account...
Not only are the MCU flicks listed by Phase now, but also chronologically (in the MCU timeline).
There are also rows for Marvel Legacy Movies and Marvel Legacy Animated Shows. Fans are, understandably, pleased with the MCU reorg.
User interface is something we took into consideration when reviewing all the streaming services a while back. You can check out our "State of Streaming" reviews for Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and Apple TV+ here.
Speaking of Marvel and streaming, Marvel TV and Hulu gave fans their first look at the upcoming streaming series M.O.D.O.K. -- Marvel's first venture into adult-oriented animated comedy -- at New York Comic Con. The series features the voices of Patton Oswalt, Lucifer's Aimee Garcia, Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Melissa Fumero, and Parks and Rec's Ben Schwartz.
