Stranger Things Teases Big Surprises for Season 4

SPOILERS AHEAD for Stranger Things Season 3 & 4. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Netflix has released a surprise teaser trailer for Stranger Things season four, confirming the return of one familiar character.   The 50-second clip, titled 'From Russia with Love,' opens in the sprawling frozen fields of what appears to be a Russian facility, as a group of people perform manual labour on a snow-covered railway track. The camera focuses on one specific individual who is quickly identified to be a shaven-headed Jim Hopper, played by David Harbour. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/07/06/what-will-happen-in-stranger-things-season-4"] "We're excited to officially confirm that production on Stranger Things 4 is now underway — and even more excited to announce the return of Hopper!" the Duffer Brothers said in a statement. "Although it's not all good news for our 'American'; he is imprisoned far from home in the snowy wasteland of Kamchatka, where he will face dangers both human… and other. "Meanwhile, back in the states, a new horror is beginning to surface, something long-buried, something that connects everything. Season 4 is shaping up to be the biggest and most frightening season yet, and we cannot wait for everyone to see more. In the meantime -- pray for the American." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=stranger-things-season-3-gallery&captions=true"] The new teaser helps to clear up one of the biggest mysteries from Season 3. The post-credits scene originally sparked tons of theories about Hopper's fate as it hinted that the fan-favourite character may be trapped inside a Russian prison, despite being supposedly killed by a blast caused by the Russians in their attempt to reopen the gate to the Upside Down. However, if you still want to continue your curiosity voyage towards Stranger Things 4, then take a look at the working title and what it could mean, discover the title of the first episode of the next season, and read the latest details about the prospective new characters joining the hit Netflix show.

Devil May Cry 3 Has a New Co-Op Mode on Nintendo Switch

Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition on Nintendo Switch will have a completely new and exclusive co-op mode.

Capcom has spent the past few weeks announcing the three new features it's added to the Switch version of Devil May Cry 3. Now the third one has been revealed and it's local co-op for the game's Bloody Palace mode.

 

The co-op will work with Joy-Cons as well as the Switch Pro Controller, and any combo of them both. You'll have to beat the intro mission before being able to start a co-op session of Bloody Palace. One player is Dante while the other is Vergil, and you'll have separate save files for each, and can also have different controller setups for each character.

Bloody Palace is survival mode in which you have just one life as you try to climb up 9999 floors of a demon-filled tower. When you beat a floor, you get the choice of three portals to go through, letting up ascend one floor, 10 floors, or 100 floors.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/03/14/the-first-14-minutes-of-devil-may-cry-3-from-the-hd-collection"]

The other two exclusive features that the Switch version of Devil May Cry 3 has are on-the-fly combat style switching, and on-the-fly weapon switching. In the original game, you had to switch weapons before starting a mission, or could do it mid-mission at a Divinity Statue. In the Switch version, you can switch styles and weapons wherever you want, and whenever you want.

Devil May Cry 3 comes to Nintendo Switch on February 20, 2020. Our Devil May Cry 3 review of the original 2005 game gave it a 9.6, so you know, it's certainly worth checking out if you haven't played it before.

Indiana Jones 5 to Start Shooting in April, Says Harrison Ford

According to Harrison Ford himself, Indiana Jones 5 is set to start shooting in "about two months," which would see Ford back on set as Dr. Henry Walton "Indiana" Jones Jr. around April 2020. Speaking to CBS Sunday Morning, Ford was asked by correspondent Lee Cowan what the challenges are when returning to roles such as Han Solo and Indiana Jones after such a long period of time. "Trying not to look silly... you know... hang around in tight pants and high boots," Ford joked. "I'll give you a more appropriate answer, considering I'm going to start doing Indiana Jones in about two months." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/07/07/history-of-awesome-indiana-jones-and-the-raiders-of-the-lost-ark"] Assuming all goes according to plan, Ford will return as Indiana Jones this April for the first time since 2008's Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. In February 2020, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said the team is still hard at work "getting the script where want it to be" and that this newest entry will "not be a reboot, but a continuation." With Ford's confirmed return to the iconic role and this not being a reboot, it tracks with his earlier comments regarding Indiana Jones once he hangs up the whip and hat, stating "When I'm gone, he's gone. It's easy." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-movies-of-the-decade-2010-2019&captions=true"] As it stands, the currently untitled Indiana Jones 5 has a theatrical release date of July 9, 2021. Ford will next be seen in 20th Century Studios' remake of The Call of the Wild, a film that made our list of 59 movies we can't wait for in 2020. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Releases 5-Minute Opening Cinematic

Square Enix has released the opening cinematic of Final Fantasy VII Remake way ahead of its April 10 release date. The five-minute movie blends some very familiar elements with plenty of brand new ones. It opens with a highly detailed look at the eclectic city of Midgar, taking the viewer on a journey through the bustling streets that are filled with construction workers and kids speeding around on bicycles. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/14/final-fantasy-7-remake-opening-movie"] The establishing shots are supported by newly orchestrated, breath-taking music, which swells to a peak as Aerith gazes up towards the starlit night sky. The camera pans out to reveal more breathtaking views of the vibrant metropolis before Cloud Strife makes his highly-anticipated entrance atop a high-speed train. This clip comes shortly after Square Enix released a batch of new screenshots from the highly-anticipated game, showcasing Tifa's moves in battle, as well as a look at the game's side quests, and, most importantly, some adorable and oddly proportioned summons. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=final-fantasy-7-remake-over-100-screenshots&captions=true"] The Final Fantasy VII Remake will invite players to jump into a hybrid battle system that merges real-time action with strategic, command-based combat, as they enter a world where the Shinra Electric Power Company – a shadowy corporation – controls the planet's very life force. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is now due to launch on April 10, 2020 for PS4 after its delay last month. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/14/final-fantasy-7-opening-movie-comparison"] For more on Final Fantasy 7 Remake, read about how its PS4 exclusivity was shifted to April 10, 2021, discover all of the major reveals and surprises in the latest trailer, and take a look at our complete Final Fantasy 7 Remake preorder guide.
