We love hearing your feedback on Podcast Unlocked via the Loot Box, and now you have the chance to actually let us hear your beautiful voices! At the bottom of this article, you will find an option that lets you share a brief video with us and the IGN community, powered by audio and video commenting tool, Yappa. We want as many Unlocked fans as we can get to send in your Loot Box question to the panel, and we'll play it on the air on this week's show.

• You can choose between audio and video recording. We’d prefer video to see your face (and only your face, please -- although Master Chief helmets are cool with us), but you can use the audio-only option if you’re having a bad hair day.

Spellbreak will support cross-progression across PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Nintendo Switch when it launches. Developer Proletariat will allow players to create a Spellbreak account that can be attached to the game on any platform, which brings along progression, customisation and stats wherever you choose to play. It will also players to create cross-platform squads and find friends across all versions of the game. Check out a trailer for the announcement below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/03/spellbreak-cross-progression-trailer"] The free-to-play, magic-focused battle royale already has already promised cross-play across all platforms. The game has already seen betas on PC (vis Epic Games Store) and PS4, with Switch and Xbox One launches coming later this year. Proletariat has described the move as "vitally important" to the future of Spellbreak, giving players as much choice as possible from Day One of the game's full release. The developer adds that it believes this will become an industry standard in time. We spoke to Proletariat as part of IGN's Summer of Gaming, and got the lowdown on how Spellbreak weaves RPG ideas into the battle royale template.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is now a part owner of the XFL, the alternative football league created by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. Johnson, his business partner and ex-wife Dany Garcia, and Gerry Cardinale's investment firm RedBird Capital are now all stakeholders in the league. They spent $15 million combined to buy the XFL. [caption id="attachment_2388010" align="alignnone" width="720"] Photo credit: Hiram Garcia[/caption] Sportico reports the deal with Johnson and his partners went through just hours before the league was supposed to be auctioned off. The $15 million offer was reportedly the only qualified proposal. Jeffrey Pollack, XFL President and COO, said, "This is a Hollywood ending to our sale process and it is an exciting new chapter for the league. Dwayne, Dany and Gerry are a dream team ownership group and the XFL is in the best possible hands going forward." Johnson added that he's excited to create something special for football fans and players. "The acquisition of the XFL with my talented partners, Dany Garcia and Gerry Cardinale, is an investment for me that's rooted deeply in two things - my passion for the game and my desire to always take care of the fans," Johnson said. With the purchase, Garcia will be the first and only female sports league owner independent from a team. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=dwayne-the-rock-johnsons-10-best-movies&captions=true"] The Rock and his partners save the football league from bankruptcy, after its return season was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In April, ESPN reported the league laid off nearly all its staff, and that there were no plans to return in 2021. For more, read about the action movie role Dwayne Johnson wanted but didn't get. Or, learn about the upcoming NBC comedy based on the life of the Rock. Story reported by comicbook.

PlayStation has confirmed that Spider-Man will be coming to Marvel’s Avengers as a free PlayStation exclusive. Spider-Man will be released post-launch, so he won’t be available when Marvel’s Avengers is released on September 4. In a new PlayStation Blog post, Marvel’s Avengers confirmed that Spider-Man will be added to the playable roster in early 2021 “at no additional cost” to anyone who owns the base game. As previously leaked, Spider-Man will be exclusive to PlayStation owners. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/29/hawkeye-reveal-trailer-for-marvels-avengers-4k"] A leaked retail listing previously seemed to indicate that Spider-Man would be an exclusive DLC character for Marvel’s Avengers. The retailer clarified that the listing was erroneous, but that appears to be damage control for a real leak. Marvel’s Avengers previously announced other post-launch DLC characters like Hawkeye, but unlike Spider-Man, Hawkeye will not be exclusive to any one system.

Update: IGN reached out to Analogue to get clarification about today's pre-order for the Analogue Pocket. Following reports that some customers couldn't complete their pre-orders after having a unit in their cart, Analogue responded: "Shopify's shipping calculator was slowed down by immense traffic - we'll have a solution in the future. We apologize to those who experienced this issue." Analogue also reiterated that it is selling the Pocket during a global pandemic, which has made logistics more complicated. "This is certainly not a typical product launch." The company says customers should sign up for email notifications to be alerted when the Pocket and accessories will be available again. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Original Story: Analogue Pocket, the stylish third-party handheld console coming in 2021, has sold all of its pre-order units within 15 minutes of going on sale - and some of those who missed out aren't happy. Announced in a tweet, Analogue said that it was aiming to produce more and meet demand. It's unclear how many units were available to buy initially, and Analogue's mention of the "unfortunate global state of affairs" implies there may be production problems related to the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially reducing how many units could be bought.

Pocket pre-orders are sold out. We will be producing more and do our best to meet demand during this unfortunate global state of affairs.

Unfortunately, many potential buyers seem to have run into an issue where they were able to add a Pocket pre-order to their basket, but ran into issues with Analogue's shipping calculator (with many reporting upwards of 5 minutes of wait time), only to be told that pre-orders had sold out once the calculation was complete. IGN has contacted Analogue for comment on potential pre-order issues, but has not heard back at time of publish.

Added everything to my cart at 10:59 EST. Shipping did not populate for 7 minutes at which time it had already sold out. Cool.

You guys are holding tens of thousands of dollars for nearly a year but you somehow can't afford enough stock to last longer than 10 minutes. Very Cool — DARK (@dark_573) August 3, 2020

Some are reporting that pre-ordered units are already showing up on auction sites for more than double the $200 asking price, although I've been unable to personally verify this at time of writing. The handheld is able to play three generations of Game Boy games, as well as a number of other handheld games using adapters.  We recently got an updated list of features ahead of its May 2021 release.
