Borderlands 3 has announced two new free updates, one which expands the end-game called Mayhem Mode 2.0 and a limited-time event that takes you on a raid on an infamous cartel leader. The first free update is called Mayhem Mode 2.0 and it expands Borderlands 3’s endgame system with new challenges and rewards. Mayhem is a mode that unlocks after beating the main campaign for Borderlands 3 that lets players select random difficulty modifiers in exchange for better loot. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/23/borderlands-3-revenge-of-the-cartels-official-trailer"]

Mayhem 2.0 adds 25 new modifiers that range from potentially helpful, to more challenging like Drone Ranger which gives enemies a healing drone. Modifiers are rated from Easy, Medium, Hard, or Very Hard and there are 10 difficulty levels. Modifiers are chosen at random, but always from your chosen rating pool. Stats for weapon drops improve the higher the level, and starting at level 6 specific bosses can drop one of eight brand new Legendary weapons. There’s also a new Mayhem Mode options tab in your ECHO device menu.

The second free update is a new LTE called Revenge of the Cartels. Maurice gets into trouble from cartel kingpin Joey Ultraviolet and you’ll need to infiltrate his mansion Villa Ultraviolet to help your indebted crewmate. New Cartel enemies have spawned around the galaxy, defeat enough of them and you’ll earn the coordinates to Joey’s villa. When you get to the villa you’ll have to face one of three distinct factions of the Eridium Cartel, with each gang having their own unique Underbosses and Legendary loot pool. You’ll have to visit the villa multiple times to face each faction and their unique loot pool.

Gearbox says you’ll never face the same gang faction twice in a row. Additionally, there are 18 new limited-time challenges for Revenge of the Cartels that players can complete for cosmetic rewards.

Chris Hemsworth is still waiting on some forward momentum around the Hulk Hogan biopic he's been attached to star in since last year, but reveals in a new interview that he remains "fascinated" and "intrigued" by the world of pro wrestling that the movie aims to expose. When ScreenRant asked about the Hulk Hogan project, Hemsworth admitted, "Look, I haven't read a script yet. I know it's being written now and worked on. I know very little about that. It's sort of in the process now." Joker's Todd Phillips is attached to direct the Hulk Hogan biopic, which is being scripted by Joker's Scott Silver along with John Pollono. The movie -- which is expected to be made at Netflix and counts Bradley Cooper among its producers -- will explore Hogan's rise to fame in the 1980s and reportedly won't cover his more recent scandals and lawsuits. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/02/20/thors-chris-hemsworth-to-play-hulk-hogan-in-biopic-from-joker-director-todd-phillips-ign-news] IGN named Hulk Hogan No. 3 on our list of the Top 50 wrestlers of all time. In the recent interview, promoting his new Netflix action-thriller Extraction, Hemsworth revealed what drew him to the Hulk Hogan project. "I'm just fascinated by that world, and I think they're pretty keen to show a side of the world that people haven't seen before," Hemsworth said. "I'm as intrigued as you are."

Warner Bros. has confirmed that Tenet is still on target for a theatrical release this summer, so long as theaters are back open for business. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff reaffirmed the studio's commitment to the cinematic experience, as she described Tenet as a "tentpole title" that is pegged for the big screen once it is safe for audiences to return to theaters. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/19/tenet-official-trailer"] "We are committed to — and are excited about — releasing Tenet in theaters this summer or whenever theaters reopen. We remain supportive of the theatrical experience and our exhibition partners, and are confident that our tentpole titles, including Tenet and Wonder Woman 1984, are exactly the type of films that will have people eager to return to theaters," she told the outlet. Over the past few months, Warner Bros. has made some significant changes to its release schedule as a result of the COVID-19 global crisis, but Christopher Nolan's time-bending thriller has managed to hold on to its July 17 release slot, making it potentially one of the first big blockbuster-hopefuls to be released this summer, along with Wonder Woman 1984, the other film mentioned by Sarnoff, which is due out a month later on August 14. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] With so many cinema chains closed around the world, film studios have been forced to reassess their forthcoming slates and make decisions on whether to postpone the release of their upcoming titles or shift some of these releases to VOD (video on demand). Warner Bros. recently scrapped the release of Scoob! (originally slated for May 15) in favour of a VOD debut while the theatrical release of In the Heights has been delayed a whole year to June 18, 2021, The Batman has been pushed back to October 1, 2021, and the studio has indefinitely postponed the release of Malignant, which was originally scheduled for the August 14 slot now occupied by Wonder Woman 1984. In addition, Warners has also set new 2022 release dates for two other DC titles. The Flash has moved forward to June 3, 2022 (up a month from July 1), while Shazam 2 has been postponed from April 1, 2022 to November 4, 2022. Plus, David Chase's The Sopranos prequel film, The Many Saints of Newark, has been pushed from September 25, 2020 to March 12, 2021, amongst several other shifts, shake-ups, and delays in the industry.

Gears 5 loads 4 times quicker on Xbox Series X than on Xbox One - without a single change to the game's code. Speaking to Windows Central about the benefits of the new hardware, The Coalition's technical director Mike Rayner quantified just how much the studio is already getting out of the upcoming console: "With the Xbox Series X, out of the gate, we reduced our load-times by more than 4x without any code changes." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=xbox-console-power-levels-compared&captions=true"] Rayner explained that, "With the new DirectStorage APIs and new hardware decompression, we can further improve I/O performance and reduce CPU overhead, both of which are essential to achieve fast loading." The gist of Rayner's comments - and the article as a whole - is that Microsoft's work on improved I/O performance, and how it affects loading times, is among the most important additions. "We have come to expect generational leaps in CPU, GPU, and memory performance with each generation", says Rayner. "Xbox Series X more than delivers against these expectations. As a game developer, one of the most exciting improvements that far exceeds expectations is the massive I/O improvements on Xbox Series X. " The next-gen version of Gears 5 Rayner mentions isn't just a tech test - it will be a launch game for Series X, and will be available as a free upgrade to those that already own it. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/16/xbox-series-x-loading-times-tech-demo"] We've already seen a demonstration of the base improvement on loading times from Xbox Series X (above), and that's one of several tech upgrades that Microsoft is touting for its next machine. Xbox Series X is scheduled to be released during Holiday 2020. Right now we know the Xbox Series X specs, we have an educated guess on its price based on those specs, and a full comparison with PS5. What we know far less about is Xbox Series X games, but we have a list of confirmed and rumoured titles for the next-gen console. [poilib element="accentDivider"]

Red Dead Redemption 2 will be arriving on Xbox Game Pass for console on May 7, 2020, the same day Rockstar will be removing Grand Theft Auto V from Xbox's subscription service. Revealed on Xbox Wire, if you miss your chance to download and play GTA V in time, you will be able to get a 20% discount on the purchase of the game. Red Dead Redemption 2 was released in 2018 and was our Game of the Year Runner-Up behind PlayStation 4's God of War. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/10/25/red-dead-redemption-2-review"] Even though it didn't win our game of the year, it did earn one of our rare 10/10 scores. In our review of Red Dead Redemption 2, we said it "stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Grand Theft Auto V as one of the greatest games of the modern age. It’s a gorgeous depiction of an ugly period that’s patient, polished, and a huge amount of fun to play, and it’s combined with Rockstar’s best storytelling to date."

Grand Theft Auto V, according to the NPD, was the best selling game of the decade from 2010-2019, a number that has been bolstered by the continuous support of Grand Theft Auto Online. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-rockstar-game-review-ever&captions=true"] This news follows the report that Rockstar is making changes to fix its crunch culture and is currently developing a new Grand Theft Auto.

Bethesda is investigating a bug reported by players where Fallout 76's new NPCs are looting items from their corpses and keeping them. The strange glitch has been noted by several users on the Fallout 76 Reddit, with posters claiming that they've lost hordes of ammo and expensive weapons. Upon death, players are waking up to find the guns they were using and the ammo attached missing from their inventory. Later, they've noticed that the same gun they were using in combat is now in the hands of a nearby NPC, suggesting that it had been looted from the player's corpse upon death. Those NPCs can't be looted back. This is a major problem, as it means expensive and rare weapons that players have worked hard to purchase or unlock are being lost, with no clear means to recover them. One particular post mentions that a player lost an explosive machine gun that they spent "15k caps" on. A few posters have singled out the event missions Radiation Rumble and Riding Shotgun as being a particular source for the bug, so you may want to avoid them for the time being. This video from Dani Garcia gives us our best glimpse at the glitch in action (thanks, PC Gamer!) [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/09/fallout-76-wastelanders-launch-trailer"] A Bethesda Community Manager has responded to the strange phenomenon, writing that they will "investigate this immediately" under one of the offending Reddit posts. NPCs arrived in Fallout 76 as part of the Wastelanders update, a free overhaul anticipated by the fans who stuck with Fallout 76 after its troublesome launch. Wastelanders adds new questlines and infrastructure, as well as an improved reputation system. If you're thinking of jumping back into the apocalyptic fray, check out our article on whether you should return to Fallout 76 for Wastelanders. And if you've already made the leap, you may want to check out our walkthrough which will guide you through the new quests in Wastelanders. Just watch out for those event missions if you're fixing to keep your hard-earned loot!

A Crash Bandicoot mobile game has unexpectedly soft launched on Android in select regions. An endless runner, Crash Bandicoot Mobile comes from Candy Crush creators King and was teased earlier this week via a set of leaked Facebook ads. Soft launches allow developers to release the game in certain areas, allowing them to fix bugs and test server capacity before a full rollout. As of right now, there hasn't been any official word from King or the Crash Bandicoot Twitter account about the game, which means we don't have a full set of regions the game can be downloaded in, but you can see if the game's available in your area on the Google Play Store right now. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/06/29/crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy-review"] The listing describes the gameplay, which will see Crash complete "awesome battle runs" to defeat Dr. Cortex's minions, a series of "mutagen henchmen" who are trying to "enslave all dimensions." It's set on Wumpa Island and will feature a number of fan-favourite characters like Coco Bandicoot, Uka Uka and Dingodile. There's also a persistent metagame beyond the endless runner gameplay where Crash can perform "collection runs" to scavenge for ingredients. These items allow the player to upgrade and expand Coco's base by unlocking buildings to "create an arsenal of weapons: serums, bombs and even rayguns!" In other Crash Bandicoot news, Activision noted in their Q4 2019 investor call that they plan to release "several remastered and reimagined experiences" in 2020, suggesting Crash could make another appearance following the popularity of Activision's remaster of the original trilogy. We reviewed another Crash spin-off, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled back in 2019, which we called a "kart racer worth playing."
