Evo is an annual fighting game tournament where the best fighting game players gather to test their skills in popular games likes Street Fighter, Tekken, and more. Developers like Capcom and Bandai Namco also usually reserve fighting game announcements for Evo like new DLC fighters.

Activision Blizzard announced that it donated $2 million to help veterans find high-quality jobs through its Call of Duty Endowment program. Activision also released a new “Fearless” in-game content pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with 100% of proceeds going towards the endowment. The Call of Duty Endowment is Activision-Blizzard’s long-running program helping raise funds for veteran needs. The timing of this month’s donation is also part of National Military Appreciation Month and there’s a social media campaign asking for followers to post photos or names of veterans with the hashtag #CODEFearlessChallenge. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-call-of-duty-review&captions=true"] “Military veterans need our support more than ever. With unemployment rates at all-time highs, we know from past experiences that veterans will be far more affected than ordinary citizens,” Activision-Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick said in a statement. “With this donation to the Call of Duty Endowment, we hope to find jobs for at least 4,000 veterans.” Unemployment has grown multi-fold since the outbreak of COVID-19 aka the novel coronavirus. As businesses close due to the ongoing shelter-in-place order and public spaces become restricted due to the highly contagious nature of the virus, employees have seen their work hours reduced or eliminated. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/09/call-of-duty-warzone-official-trailer"] “We’ve seen a huge increase in veterans asking our partners for assistance since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said executive director of the Call of Duty Endowment Dan Goldenberg. “We’ve been committed to helping veterans find meaningful employment for over 10 years, but we’ve never seen anything like this.” For more information on COVID-19 check out our guide on how to stay safe during the pandemic.

Sony has confirmed that the company has identified those who leaked large parts of The Last of Us Part 2 online, as well as that these persons were not members involved with Sony Interactive Entertainment nor Naughty Dog. In a statement first reported by GamesIndustry.Biz and confirmed by IGN, Sony offered an update on its search for the leakers. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-last-of-us-part-2-new-screenshots&captions=true"]

"SIE has identified the primary individuals responsible for the unauthorized release of TLOU2 assets.  They are not affiliated with Naughty Dog or SIE. We are unable to comment further because the information is subject to an on-going investigation. We’re looking forward to when The Last of Us Part II will be in your hands and can’t wait for you to enjoy the full experience on June 19."

The Last of Us Part 2 creative director Neil Druckmann also commented on the leaks following the original publication of Sony's statement, saying "Glad this got cleared up, but there are a lot of other false rumors out there. Looking forward to discussing all of this once the game is out." Potential The Last of Us Part 2 spoilers began leaking online en masse over the last week, just as Sony announced a new June 19 release date for The Last of Us Part 2. Since then, we've learned The Last of Us Part 2 will require 100GB of hard drive space on your PS4 or PS4 Pro. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/how-to-avoid-the-last-of-us-part-2-spoilers-ign-daily-fix"] The Last of Us Part 2 had been delayed indefinitely early in April, and Druckmann addressed the delay at that time. Originally set for a May 29 release, The Last of Us has only had a few weeks' delay ultimately, with fellow PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima also being delayed into July from its original June 26 release date.
