Earth Defense Force: World Brothers Coming West in 2021
Watch Dogs: Legion Images Leak Ahead Of Ubisoft Event
We can see the game's Team menu screen in the leaks, which shows a series of operatives that the player can swap between as part of their legion of NPCs, with each one having different abilities. One character shown, Phil Ahuja, is a Football Hooligan who can use a Rally Cry ability to call his friends to fight and boasts a Tough Drunk ability that mitigates damage.
A Spy character, Brian Casey, is shown in another screenshot, who offers a Spy Watch that can jam enemy weapons, a silenced pistol and a car with cloaking capabilities.
One of the images from the game lacks the UI and features a user-drawn ring around a background asset which features the date "16 SEPT." It's unclear why it has been circled, but some think it could be a potential release date for the game.
The final image sees the player distracting an Albion police officer while in disguise - par for the course as far as Watch Dogs gameplay is concerned. Little of this is new information - we know that Legion will see players recruiting characters from among the AI population of a future London - but it's a nice reminder of how wildly different the game could be fore different players, given we're seeing football hooligans and old-school spies sharing screen space.
We'll be seeing and hearing more about Watch Dogs: Legion during the Ubisoft Forward conference, which arrives this Sunday, July 12. For more details on the event, check out our article covering the event's lineup.
It's Ubisoft's second leak this week, after Assassin's Creed: Valhalla saw 30 minutes of gameplay hit the internet.

The experience of waking up with a foggy mind in a weird, unfamiliar hotel room is already distressing, but there are myriad ways it could be even worse. Let's say you blacked out so hard that not only do you not remember last night, you don't remember anything at all. Making things even more upsetting, there's an unconscious woman with her hands tied up laying in the bathtub. The real kicker, though, would be seeing a news report with your face on it describing you as a wanted serial killer. And now someone's knocking on your door…
Death Come True is the latest project from Danganronpa creator Kazutaka Kodaka. Much like that beloved adventure series, Death Come True places the protagonist in a horrifying, deadly situation where the only way out is to uncover the mystery of what's really going on. But the approach here is very different: Where Danganronpa told its twisted sagas of death and despair through visual novel-style presentations, Death Come True is presented as a live-action film with branching paths. While the heavy use of full-motion video (FMV) has seen an interesting comeback in games like Her Story and Control, Death Come True hearkens back to the simpler, experimental FMV adventure games of the mid-'90s--all the while reminding us of what was good and bad about those titles.
Protagonist Makoto has no idea where he is, how he got here, or even who he is--save for the TV report describing him as a serial killer--but he knows something's deeply amiss in this hotel. Things quickly go from bad to worse when Makoto, through your choices, makes another unsettling discovery: When he dies, he wakes up again in the same hotel bed to restart and repeat the same sequence of events over again, so not even death can free him from the bizarre reality he's trapped in.

Where so many VR games still fall back on restricted controls, the PlayStation VR-exclusive Iron Man VR asks you to learn and master its unique flight controls if you really want to feel like a Marvel superhero. Getting comfortable in Tony Stark’s iron skin makes you feel like you know what it’s like to "be" Iron Man in a way no standard game could. At the same time, the game around that core mechanic feels overly thin. With reused environments, recycled mission objectives, and a predictable story that overstays its welcome, Iron Man VR quickly loses its luster.
For better and for worse, Iron Man VR tells a complete ripped-from-the-page Marvel comic storyline. Tony Stark squares off with a mysterious new villain, the Ghost, who uses an army of old Stark Industries drones to systematically terrorize him and his company. The Ghost invokes Stark’s past of making weapons and selling them indiscriminately, forcing him to reckon with his past self as well.
Like Insomniac's Spider-Man, Iron Man VR is an original variation of existing Iron Man stories, with vague allusions to moments that comic book and MCU fans will know, which makes it easy for any Marvel fan to jump in and follow along. It's a bit too familiar, though. Retreading themes and issues you've already seen Iron Man work through in both the comics and films, Stark's struggles, both internal and the threats he faces on the battlefield, feel a bit stale. And though there’s a complicated, long-winded plot, you can identify every twist from a mile away.

Tom Cruise Got a Stress Zit on His Nose Filming M:I 2 Scene
"Be honest. Is it noticeable?" "No, Tom, no one will ever nose it's there."[/caption]
“I remember at the beginning of the night, seeing this slight red mark on his nose, and by the end of the night, I kid you not — this is how his metabolism is so fierce — he had a big whitehead where that red dot was,” Newton revealed. “It would take anyone else 48 hours to manifest a zit. And it was like the zit was me, just getting bigger and bigger.”
They ended up reshooting the whole scene the following week to get exactly what Cruise wanted from Newton. "He just wanted this alpha bitch,” she said. “And I did as best as I could. It’s not the best way to get the best work out of someone.”
Unlike other actors in the series, Newton said she was never asked back for another Mission: Impossible sequel.
Twenty years later and Tom Cruise is still playing IMF agent Ethan Hunt. Mission: Impossible 7 aims to resume production soon after production was shut down due to the pandemic.
