Walt Disney World Resort Looking to Reopen This July

Walt Disney World Resort in Florida has set out plans to reopen the park beginning July 11. After being closed for months following the lockdown period designed to combat the coronavirus pandemic, Walt Disney World has submitted plans to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force group for a multi-phase reopening of the park. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/12/disneyland-california-adventure-closing-due-to-coronavirus-concerns"] As revealed by Walt Disney World News Today - and later published to the Disney Parks blog -  the plan begins on July 11, with the opening of Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, and a few days later on July 15 Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot will also reopen. The plan outlines a limited capacity for the park, with visitors having to secure a reservation for the day they wish to attend in advance. The capacity of the park will then incrementally increase as the county furthers its reopening phases. All major attractions within the park will use a virtual queuing system rather than actual lines, organised through the My Disney Experience app. Social distance will need to be maintained between visitors and face masks will be enforced. Temperature checks will also be mandatory to access the parks. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=avengers-campus-concept-art&captions=true"] New signage has been developed to be placed around the park, explaining the new restrictions guests must adhere to. There are also new rules for the cast members who dress as Disney characters in the park, and well as increased cleaning and sanitation duties. The plan does not guarantee a reopening of the park; they have been submitted to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force, and must be endorsed by the Orange County mayor before being submitted to Florida’s governor for final approval. Only then can Walt Disney World reopen. The closure of Walt Disney World Resort was announced back in March, with the final day of regular business being March 15. It’s unprecedented for a Disney park to be closed for this length of time. This plan goes against the predictions of an analyst who suggested Disney will not open its parks until 2021.

PS5 Conference Reportedly Coming as ‘Early as Next Week’

Sony is reportedly planning a PlayStation 5 digital event for "as early as next week," kicking off other events that will take place over the coming weeks and months. As reported by Bloomberg, people with "direct knowledge of the matter" have said the virtual event could take place on June 3, but also "cautioned that plans have been in flux and that the date may change." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/15/analyzing-ps5s-tech-demo-next-gen-console-watch"] Sony is not expected to reveal everything about the PlayStation 5 at this first showing, and many more details will arrive with the aforementioned other events. This reveal will be the next big look at the future of PlayStation since Sony revealed the PlayStation 5's controller, the DualSense, and Epic Games announced and showcased its Unreal Engine 5 demo running live on a PS5. Sony has been relatively quiet on the next-gen front, while Microsoft has already shown the console, controller, and even some third-party titles that will be arriving on the Xbox Series X. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] This announcement follows previous remarks by Sony CEO Kenichiro Yoshida who said that "we will be soon be announcing a strong lineup of PS5 games." Also, while we don't know the official release date of the PlayStation 5 besides Holiday 2020, Sony has confirmed that the COVID-19 pandemic has not caused any delays, although there very well may be launch shortages.

Fast & Furious Crossroads Delayed

Fast & Furious Crossroads, the video game set in the same universe as the F&F movies, has been delayed from May to later this summer. The game will now release on August 7, as revealed by the game’s official Twitter account. When it does finally pull up on PC and consoles, Fast & Furious Crossroads will tell a new story in the F&F universe and feature Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Tyrese Gibson reprising their movie roles. They’re joined by Sonequa Martin-Green (Star Trek: Discovery, The Walking Dead) and Asia Kate Dillon (Billions, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum) as new characters written for the game. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/13/fast-furious-crossroads-reveal-trailer"] Crossroads is a team-based “vehicular-heist” game, that presumably combines driving and action in the unique and outlandish manner that the films do. The original May release date would have meant the game would release alongside the ninth Fast & Furious movie, but the film was delayed due to the impact of COVID-19 on the movie industry. At the time, developer Slightly Mad Studios and Codemasters had warned there could be a delay for the game. If you’re in need of some fast action ahead of August, you can always check out spin-off Hobbs and Shaw, released last year.

Gorgeous TMNT Pinball Machine Announced: First Images and Video

A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pinball machine has been announced by Stern Pinball Inc. and it features a magnetic spinning pizza disc (!), three ramps, three flippers, comic-book style art, and the original cartoon theme song to tie it all together. Stern worked with Nickelodeon – recent custodians of the TMNT brand – to make this machine. This is not the first TMNT pinball machine, as Data East put out Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that was kinda dull, if colorful (it also had a non-magnetic pizza-shaped spinning disc). This new game, designed by John Borg (Iron Man, Metallica, Tron) holds a lot more promise than the 1991 game. The TMNT (2020) art is by Zombie Yeti (Ghostbusters). [caption id="attachment_2357022" align="aligncenter" width="720"]The Limited Edition Playfield with van toy, Krang toy, and ramp diverter. The Limited Edition Playfield with van toy, Krang toy, and ramp diverter.[/caption] There are three versions of Stern's TMNT (this is the way, in 2020). The Premium and Limited Edition versions have a cool turtle van that spews out pinballs for multiball, a glider toy diverter that allows you to select a ramp to send the ball down, and a Krang toy that... bounces. Here's the full feature matrix. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Feature Matrix2 Recent Stern machines like Stern's Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy have made use of licensed footage, but TMNT doesn't have any old cartoon footage, instead using custom animations you can get a tiny glimpse at in the features video below. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/27/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-pinball-machine-stern-2020-first-video-and-gameplay"] The Limited Edition (LE), limited to 500 total made games, green (ooze?) armor, a unique art package with mirrored backglass, a custom autographed (by game creators) bottom arch and numbered plaque, art blades for the cabinet interior sides, an "upgraded audio system," fancy anti-glare pinball glass, and a shaker motor (basically a rumble pack, but huge). TMNT-LE-Cabinet-RF Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is available now. The LE will set you back $9,099, while the Premium runs $7,699, and the Pro $6,099. You may have to wait a bit to find one of these on quarter play in public. Check out the tons of images below to help you make your decision.

Justice League Snyder Cut: Darkseid Confirmed and Revealed

Zack Snyder has posted an image of his cut of Justice League's take on Darkseid, and confirmed the iconic supervillain will appear in the version that hits HBO Max next year. Posted on Snyder's Twitter feed, the low-resolution image doesn't give too much away about Darkseid's appearance, but confirms that Ray Porter - who recently confirmed that he played the supervillain in unsued portions of the film - will finally get his debut in the role. As for how Darkseid will tie into the role, previous reports have suggested he appears in a prologue to the film, and after the original cut's climax. Snyder confirmed that the long-awaited Snyder Cut - or at least Snyder Cut - will be released on HBO Max in 2021, and may take the form of a four-hour movie, or even a TV-like run of episodes. We've seen much of the cast celebrating its release in recent days. HBO Max boss Bob Greenblatt recently admitted that the mooted $20-30 million cost of the new cut was underselling it, and it would cost more due to it being a "radical rethinking of that movie".  The reshoots required won't include the original cast, however. For more on The Snyder Cut, check out our deep dive into the legendary project's history.
