Call of Duty 2020 Teaser Site Updates With Cold War References

While the official reveal of Call of Duty 2020 has yet to happen, its teaser site now features Cold War references, a hint of things to come, and even a code that unlocks a door in Call of Duty: Warzone. If you head to pawntakespawn.com/tv, you will be greeted by an old television set, VCR, phone, chess piece, and computer. The TV displays static, but if you click on the VHS tape above the VCR with 1961-62 written on it, a video appears on the screen with real-life footage of JFK, the space race, the civil rights movement, the Cuban missile crisis, the Laos Crisis, and more. JFK As the video continues to play, certain numbers will flash on the screen, including 37, 25, and 48. Additionally, the VCR will occasionally flash the text "WZ-H6-49285 163." @CharlieINTEL on Twitter followed these developing teases closely, and it was discovered that the H6 in the above code was a reference to the Farmland location in Call of Duty: Warzone. Players, including @PrestigeIsKey, used the code from the VCR (49285163) on a door in Farmhouse that had a keypad, and it hid a secret room with further clues. Some of the documents found in the room include a list of chemical compounds and references to Venona, which was a US counterintelligence program that helped decrypt messages from the Soviet Union. There are 5x5 matrices that were used to decipher these codes, and they make reference to other Warzone locations, including Quarry, Boneyard, and Prison. Furthermore, two code words - ZEPHYR and TRIDENT - were written on two of the documents. Below the TV, there is a sticky note that has /TANGLEDWEB and /EMC2 written on it. If you go to pawntakespawn.com/tangledweb and pawntakespawn.com/emc2, it takes you to two other pages with even more info. /TANGLEDWEB features a typed out letter that discusses how "Wars are won not just on the battlefield, but behind closed doors." It ends by saying, "know your history," which recently appeared in Warzone last week as part of a flashing message on screen. Document /EMC2 features another note that originally said "8/14 - DAY ONE: 1962-62." Following the discovery in the Farmland, "8/15 - DAY TWO:" has been revealed, with the rest of the document being redacted. Screenshot_2020-08-14 Unravel the Secrets There are four more redacted lines, possibly stating that we will get a new clue every day until a potential official reveal of Call of Duty 2020 on Wednesday, August 19. Stay tuned to IGN for all future updates, all leading up to the official reveal of Call of Duty 2020 which, if leaks are correct, may be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. While we don't officially know much about this new Call of Duty, we do know that it is being developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and will integrated with Call of Duty: Warzone.

Ghost of Tsushima was the best-selling game of July 2020, and has also become the 5th best-selling game of 2020, the fastest selling release from Sucker Punch Productions, and had the 4th highest launch month dollar sales in US history for a Sony published title.

Captain Marvel Prop Prototype Includes a Reference to SWORD in the MCU

An official prop prototype of Captain Marvel's pager, as seen in the Avengers: Infinity War post-credits scene, features a hidden reference to SWORD (short for Sentient World Observation and Response Department). Reddit user JohannSchmidt1943 shared an image of the prop prototype for Captain Marvel's device, currently up for auction on eBay, which reveals the SWORD logo etched on to the back of the unpainted piece. [caption id="attachment_239280" align="aligncenter" width="1175"]Avengers Infinity War Prop Prototype Image credit: Reddit/JohannSchmidt1943More[/caption] SWORD was first introduced in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men series in 2004. Whedon conceived of SWORD as a sort of mirror of SHIELD. Where SHIELD is tasked with policing Earth and keeping it safe from internal threats, SWORD looks to the stars and protects the planet from alien invasions and other external threats. The organization has since been closely tied to Captain Marvel, who runs the Alpha Flight Space Program. In Avengers: Infinity War, Nick Fury desperately tries to contact someone using the old school pager (seen in the prop prototype) before he turns to dust. However, the pager falls to the ground and we see it connect to his contact, as the Captain Marvel insignia and signature colours flash on its screen. The SWORD logo wasn't visible on the device until now, but it indicates that the organization may have been secretly hidden in the MCU for longer than we thought. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/04/25/avengers-infinity-war-easter-eggs-trivia-and-references"] SWORD is expected to make a more official debut in the MCU when WandaVision debuts on Disney+ later this year. While little is known about the plot of the spinoff series, Paul Bettany previously described it as "the oddest of all the Marvel endeavours so far." Meanwhile, Marvel's Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige confirmed that the show will see Elizabeth Olsen's Wanda Maximoff finally becoming Scarlet Witch. For more on WandaVision, check out our deep dive into the comic books that might have inspired the upcoming Marvel "sitcom."

Ryan Reynolds Launches Spoof Streaming Service With Just One Movie

Ryan Reynolds has launched his very own streaming service with just one movie in its library, as part of a marketing campaign for Mint Mobile. Reynolds, who bought an ownership stake in Mint Mobile last year, announced the launch of his spoof streaming service on Twitter a few days ago when he posted an ad for Mint Mobile+, an all-new platform that offers "80 minutes" of "bingetastic unoriginals" to stream in "2003 DVD quality." The platform is free for everyone to access at mintmobileplus.com, however, streaming options are extremely limited as the site only has one binge-worthy title in its catalogue: Foolproof, Reynolds' 2003 movie, co-starring Kristin Booth. Don't fret though, because Foolproof is branded as an all-rounder, with a featured spot in every single category on the platform, including "Original Originals," "Kind of Originals," and "Unoriginal Originals." Unsurprisingly, the movie also appears in every slot of the site's "Top 10." "Two minutes after launch and our crack data team has already determined Mint Mobile+ should probably be shut down by the weekend," Reynolds tweeted shortly after the launch. "We'll go back to focusing on premium wireless." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/04/ryan-reynolds-responds-to-ign-comments"] This isn't the first time that Reynolds has mocked one of the movies in his back catalogue. Earlier this month, the actor re-edited Green Lantern and cut it down to a 27-second version of the movie with very little actual footage from the original release. Instead, he found a way to insert Hal Jordan into the ending of 2017's Justice League. While Reynolds' Green Lantern won't appear in The Snyder Cut, which will debut on HBO Max next year, fans haven't seen the last of the Emerald Knight in live-action. HBO Max is developing a Green Lantern series that will boast "cinematic production values" and will feature the ring slinger's archenemy Sinestro. So watch this space... or, you know, you could always go and watch Foolproof.

WB Games Montreal’s New Project to Debut at DC FanDome

DC has unveiled the panel lineup for DC FanDome, a 24-hour event set to begin on Aug. 22, and among its lineup will be the first look at two long-awaited, rumored, and teased games based on DC characters. As previously revealed via a single image featuring Superman in the crosshairs of the Suicide Squad, Rocksteady's Batman: Arkham follow-up will be featured in a panel on Aug. 22 at 5 p.m. PT. DC also confirmed the name for the game, a version of which has previously been leaked, to be Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/rocksteadys-next-game-suicide-squad"] The panel description currently reads: "Will Arnett hosts the highly anticipated video game reveal from Rocksteady Studios, creators of the Batman: Arkham franchise." Also confirmed to be at DC FanDome is WB Games Montreal's currently untitled game, the studio's first since Batman: Arkham Origins. The panel promises an announcement and first look at the game, which has long been teased and rumored to be a Batman game. The studio released teaser images for the game on Batman Day last year, followed by one additional tease of another logo and website earlier this year, only for silence to follow. After E3 2020 was cancelled, reports suggested that WB Games had been planning to show the alleged Batman game at a company-focused E3 showcase. The Montreal game panel description for now only reads "Gamers! You won’t want to miss this first look at an exciting new game, and Q&A with its developers." For several years now, speculation and some teases from the studio have led many to believe WB Games Montreal's possible Batman game will feature some form of Court of Owls adaptation, but the studio has yet to release any official details about the game. You can check out the full schedule for DC FanDome - and how to watch it - right now. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=batman-court-of-owls-logos&captions=true"] [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jonathon Dornbush is IGN's Senior News Editor, host of Podcast Beyond!, and is glad that Barrett Courtney will finally know if we're getting a new Batman game soon. Talk to him about it on twitter @jmdornbush.

GTA Writer, Producer, and DJ Leaves Rockstar After Nearly 20 Years

Lazlow Jones, a veteran writer, producer and radio show host for the Grand Theft Auto series has left the studio after nearly 20 years. As spotted by Grand Theft Auto YouTuber GTAMen, Jones' LinkedIn profile details the split, noting that he left the company in April 2020 and is now working on a number of  in-development shows for Disney and Netflix and "consulting for a video game company." Lazlow Jones worked on many of Rockstar's most popular franchises such as Red Dead Redemption, Bully and Grand Theft Auto. You may know him best from his in-game work, scripting and hosting many radio shows across the Grand Theft Auto series, lending his voice to V-Rock in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Chattersphere in Grand Theft Auto V.
