A co-op Aliens game in pre-production was cancelled after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox. 3D Realms vice president Frederik Schreiber (via VG247) posted about the game on Twitter in response to a tweet from Cliff Bleszinski where he also revealed his former studio Boss Key Productions was potentially going to make an Aliens game.

Yup. Game was called Aliens: Hadleys Hope. We went quite far into pre-production before the Disney/Fox acquisition, and then we had to cancel it, and move on with something else.

Maybe some day! I bet yours was very different than ours? pic.twitter.com/brpq4FgwWT — Frederik Schreiber (@Freschism) February 11, 2020

Schreiber reveals the game was to be titled Aliens: Hadley's Hope and would take place on a planet with numerous Alien Queens which could only be defeated after a few successful rounds of PvE against her protectors. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/01/30/alien-blackout-review"] It boasted the use of teamwork and tactics where colonists and marines would fight together to defeat the Aliens and complete other objectives, like egg hunts, to unlock extra lore and loot. Last year marked the 40th anniversary for the Alien franchise, which the studio marked by partnering with amateur filmmakers for six original short films. 2019 also brought us the mobile game Alien: Blackout and the Alien: Isolation digital series, which expanded on the 2014 game.

Jurassic World 3 director Colin Trevorrow has shared a new photo of one of the pint-sized prehistoric stars set to appear in the next instalment of the dinosaur franchise. The filmmaker took to Twitter on Monday to give fans a fresh look at a highly detailed dino that is "ready" to leave its small footprints all over the Jurassic World reboot trilogy.

Trevorrow credited John Nolan Studios for the animatronic baby dinosaur, which he teased in an earlier post showing the tiny titan in motion prior to its finished paint job. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/06/23/jurassic-world-3-where-does-the-franchise-go-from-here"] While no further details were given, the dinosaur bears a striking resemblance to the baby Nasutoceratops that stomped onto the scene in 2019's Battle at Big Rock, a short film that was created to help to bridge the story between Fallen Kingdom and its sequel. Trevorrow, who is co-writing the upcoming trilogy-capper with Emily Carmichael, previously confirmed that the third movie is set to go back to basics with dinosaurs, as he revealed that they would be ditching the hybrid dinosaurs that the first two Jurassic World films heavily relied upon.

UPDATE: It appears Tom Hardy has since deleted the image of Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady in Venom 2 from his Instagram account. Our original story follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Venom 2 star Tom Hardy has shared a photo of Woody Harrelson as serial killer Cletus Kasady in the upcoming, potentially R-rated, Venom sequel. The actor took to Instagram on Monday to offer fans a first glimpse at his villainous co-star, dressed to fluoresce, wearing brightly-coloured threads and a solid skull-like necklace. The character's comics-accurate red hair also appears to have had a tidy chop since Venom's mid-credits scene. Hardy captioned the behind-the-scenes snap with two simple words: "Hello Cletus." Fans were introduced to Harrelson's Carnage alter-ego in Venom's mid-credits scene, as Eddie Brock visited San Quentin State Prison to speak to the locked-up killer. With his intense gaze locked on Eddie, Cletus vowed that there would be "carnage" when he escapes the penitentiary. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/08/16/carnage-explained-who-is-the-psychopathic-symbiote-and-foe-of-venom] According to reports, Shriek is set to join forces with the deranged inmate once he breaks free, with Naomie Harris in talks to play the supervillainess, who is a frequent ally and lover of Carnage in the comics, and one of the main antagonists of the popular "Maximum Carnage" crossover storyline. Venom 2 will also see Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams reprise their roles as Eddie Brock and Anne Weying, respectively.

Hollywood icon Harrison Ford is close to becoming as famous for his comically flippant responses to questions about his famous movie roles as he is for the roles themselves. Though, to be fair, the Star Wars star has been answering the same, or similar, questions for forty years. While talking to USA Today for his new film Call of the Wild, Ford was asked about his pivotal cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, answering that "it was a useful addition to the story and the continuing development of Adam Driver's character. He also added "and the chance to do another scene with Adam was great." Then, when asked if the vision Kylo Ren saw of Han was a Force Ghost, Ford came back with "A Force ghost? I don’t know what a Force ghost is." Then, in a quieter voice, Ford said "Don’t tell anyone. I’m not talking loud enough for your recorder. I have no f***ing idea what a Force ghost is. And I don’t care." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-dead-star-wars-movie-character&captions=true"] So there you have it. Never ask Harrison Ford to weigh in on Star Wars fan debates. On second thought, scratch that. Always ask Harrison Ford to weigh in on Star Wars fan debates. Ford recently spoke to IGN about the upcoming Indiana Jones 5, which starts production in April, stating that fans will see part of Indy's history resolved, along with some new developments in his life. Also, check out what The Last Jedi and Knives Out director Rian Johnson thought of Episode IX, The Rise of Skywalker.

Atlus has confirmed that certain scenes in Persona 5, which were considered homophobic and offensive by many fans, will be updated and altered in the Western release of Persona 5 Royal.

Speaking to IGN during a Persona 5 Royal preview event, Atlus Communications Manager Ari Advincula explained that dialogue in certain scenes – specifically ones involving Ryuji and two effeminate male characters – would be changed so that those men were no longer shown in a “negative light.”

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/03/persona-5-royal-us-release-date-trailer"]

“We actually were able to go through some of the lines that players may not have received as well, look at that feedback, and then [update it] for the current generation,” Advincula said, explaining that they’ve changed both the first scene in which you meet these characters as well as the notorious beach scene they are featured in later on.

The dialogue in these scenes has been widely criticized since Persona 5’s Western launch for a variety of reasons. Many fans consider the depiction of these characters to be offensively stereotypical, presenting the most prominent homosexual characters in Persona 5 as extremely sexually aggressive (toward a minor, no less) and intentionally ridiculous with intent of making their “weirdness” the joke – made worse by the fact that your protagonist provides similarly insensitive responses to their actions.

[poilib element="quoteBox" parameters="excerpt=Atlus%20described%20Royal%20as%20%E2%80%9Ca%20chance%20to%20make%20it%20right.%E2%80%9D"]

While Atlus didn’t share exactly how these scenes would be updated in response to these complaints, Advincula said asking if they would be addressed was one of the first things she did when joining the team. “That's really important to me, and I think it's really important to the community as well.”

Advincula also explained that their localization team has an “internal content review team” she described as “very on the pulse about what’s right and what to do.” She explained Royal was “a chance to make it right.”

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/17/thieves-den-and-tycoon-gameplay-persona-5-royal-4k"]

That said, reports around Royal’s Japanese release late last year seemed to indicate these conversations were generally unaltered in Japanese, and we still don’t know exactly what the updates for the Western release will look like.

Atlus also told us that fans shouldn’t give up hope for a Persona 5 port on Switch, asking them to keep telling them they wanted it or they would never be able to make it. Persona 5 Royal is out in the West on March 31.

Persona 5 still hasn’t been announced for the Nintendo Switch, but publisher Atlus says it doesn’t want fans to give up hope just yet.

Rumors have swirled around a potential Persona 5 Switch port for a long time, with a bogus Best Buy listing even popping up in 2019, but that momentum has slowed considerably. So IGN asked Atlus Communications Manager Ari Advincula if it was finally time for fans to give up on hope for a potential port during a Persona 5 Royal preview event earlier this month, to which she responded “I am a strong believer in ‘never ever give up on hope’.”

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/17/thieves-den-and-tycoon-gameplay-persona-5-royal-4k"]

The fervor for a port was spurred on by protagonist Joker coming to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate early last year, but ended up being squelched somewhat when the teased P5S turned out to be Persona 5 Scramble, an entirely new game (and essentially a full-on sequel) coming to Switch. But Advincula says fans making their voices heard is the only way it’ll happen.

“You want what you want,” she explained, “and if you don't let us know it we’re never going to be able to make it.” Advincula said Atlus is listening and does see the desire for Persona 5 on Switch, saying “it’s important to always voice your opinion.”

Advincula encouraged fans to “keep telling us what you want,” saying she was fighting for it internally as well. However, it’s important to point out that she also said she’s obviously “not the decision-maker” in a situation like this despite being an “internal champion” for it, so this shouldn’t be taken as an indication of what is happening or could happen down the line.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/is-persona-5-scramble-actually-just-persona-5-2"]

Still, Atlus has made it clear it is listening to the Persona community and taking feedback seriously, notably also revealing that it will change a handful of scenes in Persona 5 Royal fans previously condemned for being homophobic for its Western release on March 31.

It seems that both an Overwatch cartoon and Diablo anime are in the works. Neither have been confirmed by Activision Blizzard yet but new evidence from a high-ranking employee makes it pretty likely they are in production.

Nick van Dyck, who is the president of the film and TV division of Activision Blizzard, says he has worked on both of these unannounced projects in his LinkedIn profile.

His profile lists him as being the executive producer of a TV adaptation of Diablo that is "rendered in anime style." Apparently it's in pre-production and will be distributed worldwide through Netflix. This isn't the first time we've heard about a possible Diablo animated series for Netflix.

If it really is coming, then it will probably look to follow in the very successful footsteps of the Netflix Castlevania animated series. Season 3, of which, is due out on March 5 and recently got a bloody, monster-filled trailer.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/01/diablo-4-reveal-trailer"]

More of a surprise is that Dyck's profile also says that he has "developed and sold an animated series based Blizzard's Overwatch franchise." Nothing else about this is revealed. The fact that this has been "sold" suggests it isn't another of Blizzard's in-house Overwatch short films and is potentially a larger project.

Both of these animated series make a lot of sense given that franchises have a new game on the way. Diablo 4 was announced at BlizzCon last year but there's no word on when it might launch. The same goes for Overwatch 2, which will add story missions alongside new heroes and modes to the first game's formula.

Hopefully the success of recent video game adaptations, like the Castlevania series and the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, will carry over to these animated series.

Ubisoft has confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege will be available on next-gen consoles.

Roy Del Valle, the game's product manager, made the announcement yesterday, on the final day of the Six Invitational 2020 playoffs in Quebec, Canada.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/13/saving-siege-ubisofts-hard-fought-victory"]

He was invited onto a panel to talk about the major changes that will be introduced to Siege over Year 5 and Year 6 - across 2020 and 2021, essentially. In particular, he addressed why Ubisoft will only be releasing one new operator per season instead of the usual two from Year 5 Season 3 and beyond.

"When we look at the amount of stuff that the team can work on today there's no doubt that this is the right choice to go into the future with full confidence for Rainbow Six Siege," Del Valle said.

"This is allowing us to do a lot of things. It's allowing us to have a core gameplay focused philosophy, to dive deeper into those aspects. It's allowing us to polish a little bit more our operators, the operators that we're going to be bringing into the roster of 50+ operators that we have today."

"And this is a bit of a soft announcement," he continued, "but it's allowing us to work for next-gen, so we are on next-gen in the coming years."

No date as to when Rainbow Six Siege will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X has been given yet but Ubisoft is aiming for the launch of those consoles. The developer also wants to avoid fragmenting the community and told Windows Central that the next-gen versions of the game will have cross-generation multiplayer with the PS4 and Xbox One.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=rainbow-six-siege-tachanka-rework&captions=true"]

Both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are due out in holiday 2020 so, obviously, the next-gen versions of Rainbow Six Siege won't be available before that.

There's also the question of what the differences will be, if any, in the next-gen versions of Siege, especially as both the PS5 and Xbox Series X are backwards compatible anyway.

Regardless, Ubisoft will be looking to do what's best for all of its Siege players, especially after the hard fight it has had to grow the game over the past five years. Ubisoft stated during the same panel that it's committed to work on Siege for the next five, 10, or 15 years if it has to - however long people continue to play it. It was also revealed that Tachanka is getting a rework this year.

There are sendoffs, and then there’s whatever just happened on HQ Trivia’s final broadcast.

The popular live trivia game app company, which pitted contestants against countless others for a chance at real-world money, has shut down after a last-minute acquisition attempt fell through, leaving the company to lay off its 25 employees and shut its doors. What’s a broke company to do for their last ever broadcast? Host Matt Richards took $5 out of his own pocket for the show’s last prize pool.

And then he flipped off the audience and said he would crap on the homes of every troll in the game’s chatroom.

“Not going to lie, this [expletive] sucks,” Richards said. “This is the last HQ ever.”

With a bottle of champagne sitting front and center before the camera, Richards and co-host Anna Roisman proceeded to give not one single crap for their final broadcast, cracking jokes, swearing loudly, all while seemingly a bit drunk. The pair also jokingly begged the viewers to hire them and verged on tears every now and then.

Some choice quotes.

“I was never allowed to plug [expletive] on HQ. Please follow my podcast. Unemployed With Anna Roisman.” - Roisman.

“I used to never wear pants here when I started at HQ Trivia.” - Richards

“Should HQ shut down? No, yes, or [expletive] no!” - Richards, posing a trivia question to the audience.

“I met a couple that told me HQ was part of their foreplay.” - Richards.

HQ Trivia launched back in 2017, quickly skyrocketing to popularity with trivia lovers everywhere hoping to make a buck. Original host Scott Rogowsky proved popular as well. So popular that he announced last April that he was leaving HQ Trivia to focus on a baseball show on the sports streaming service DAZN. The loss of Rogowsky, internal struggles at the company, and the introduction of an unpopular points-based scoring system helped bring the app’s popularity crashing down. HQ’s former CEO and co-founder Colin Kroll also died of a drug overdose in December 2018.

The crew closed out the broadcast with an emotional rendition of “Memory” from the musical Cats, before Richards sprays the studio and himself with the champagne.

At least the hosts can say they went out with a bang, and then some.
