One new Xbox Series X detail revealed today, which Xbox’s Larry Hryb confirmed, is the new startup logo and sound for the system. You can see and listen to it below, and it’s a bit of a departure from previous Xbox generations. Startup screens are iconic. Who can forget the GameCube’s famous startup which has since become an internet meme? The Xbox also has a long history of startup screens. Even just the Xbox 360 went through three major iterations before the launch of the Xbox One. Check out the Xbox Series X startup below.

I am happy to confirm that this is the boot up animation & sound for Xbox Series X. We debut it on #InsideXbox earlier today - but I wanted to call it out in case you missed it. pic.twitter.com/A26WB3zGwz

The Xbox Series X startup feels like an evolution of past ones. As the Xbox generations evolved, the startups have become more minimalist. Compare the Xbox One’s startup to the original Xbox and even the Xbox 360 version one startup. The Series X also ditches the overt green colorway in favor of using the green as an accent amid a black and silver screen. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/09/06/scorn-8-minute-gameplay-trailer"] The sound is probably the most dramatic departure from previous generations. Instead of a booming sound, it’s a bit more melodic this time around. Overall, I think it’s an improvement over the bombast of the Xbox 360 era and a better version of what Microsoft was trying to do with the Xbox One. For more announcements from today’s Inside Xbox, check out our full list of Xbox Series X trailers revealed today, and list of third-party developers committed to developing on Series X.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on October 20, 2020. The release date was announced on This Week in Star Wars on the official Star Wars YouTube channel (Around 1:55), although no new details were revealed alongside it. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/24/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga-announcement-trailer"] On Star Wars Day 2020 (May 4th), new key art was revealed that features characters from all nine films from the Skywalker Saga, including Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Rey, Kylo Ren, R2-D2, and many more. We got our hands on LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga during E3 2019, which is said to feature nearly 500 characters, and came away very excited about this new direction that re-imagines the previous LEGO Star Wars games as opposed to just simply porting them over. Even though LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga won't be released until October, fans can purchase The Mandalorian's Razor Crest LEGO set to unlock the ship for use in the upcoming game. Unfortunately, there has been no confirmation of Baby Yoda yet. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga-e3-2019-screenshots&captions=true"] With LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, TT Games' head of design Arthur Parsons has said that it's time to "shake things up, shake the formula up and try something completely different." Unlike previous games, this entry will focus on freedom, have a brand new approach to combat, and signals that the series is "growing up," while still maintaining its undeniable charm.

King Arthur fans rejoice! Netflix has unveiled the first look for Cursed, an upcoming fantasy series from Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler based on the Arthurian legend. The streamer has not revealed the exact release date, but says we can expect to see it sometime in Summer 2020. For your first look at Cursed, check out the gallery below for some never-before-seen images from Season 1. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=cursed-season-1-gallery&captions=true"] Here's how the streamer describes the show: "Cursed is a re-imagination of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue, a young woman with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful (and tragic) Lady of the Lake. After her mother's death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a humble mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther. Cursed is a coming-of-age story whose themes are familiar to our own time: the obliteration of the natural world, religious terror, senseless war, and finding the courage to lead in the face of the impossible." Cursed is based on the illustrated novel of the same name written by Tom Wheeler and drawn by renowned comic book artist and The Dark Knight Returns creator Frank Miller. For Netflix's live-action adaptation, Wheeler will take on the role of showrunner and co-executive produce alongside Miller. Season 1 will consist of 10 one-hour episodes, starring 13 Reasons Why's Katherine Langford as Nimue, Devon Terrell as Arthur, and Vikings' Gustaf Skarsgard as Merlin, among many other familiar Arthurian characters. Get ready to binge Cursed in Summer 2020 when it drops on Netflix.

Bungie has confirmed that Destiny 2 will be making its way to both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Following Microsoft's Inside Xbox that showcased the first gameplay footage from third-party Xbox Series X games, Bungie took the opportunity to announce that Destiny 2 would indeed be coming to "next-gen platforms" and that it would discuss further details in the future. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/02/how-destinys-seasonal-model-is-changing-fireteam-chat-ep-259"] It is unclear if Destiny 2 will take advantage of Xbox's Smart Delivery, which allows those who already own a specific title to upgrade to the next-gen version at no additional cost. Last year, Bungie separated from Activision and now has complete control over Destiny 2. It also announced that it has plans to also release one non-Destiny game by 2025. Bungie also revealed that it would be transitioning Destiny 2 from a first-person shooter game to an action-MMO, and that it would be offering a new free-to-play model called New Light. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-bungie-game-ever-reviewed-by-ign&captions=true"] Destiny 2 joins the ever-growing list of confirmed titles coming to Xbox Series X, a list that includes such current-gen titles as Gears 5, Rainbow Six Seige, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Cyberpunk 2077. Destiny 2 has been going strong since it was released in 2017, and it remains as one of our choices for the Top 10 Most Addictive Online Games.
