Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer has revealed that a Knives Out sequel is on the way with a possible 2022 release date. The sequel announcement came at a third-quarter earnings call, where Feltheimer told investors the company's "2022 slate will be one of our most exciting ever." Director Rian Johnson has been a big proponent of a Knives Out sequel, telling Deadline that "the idea of continuing it on seems like it would just be a blast." Johnson continued, "But there's a lot that has to happen before that can happen, first and foremost being writing a script." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=nominees-best-movie-of-2019&captions=true"] Knives Out released in November 2019 with an all-star cast including Chris Evans, Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ana de Armas, and more. The film reportedly cost around $40 million to produce and earned an estimated 27 million dollars in its opening weekend. With Knives Out nearing $300 million at the worldwide box office, it's reasonable to say that Johnson's film was a success. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/09/10/knives-out-review"] It's currently unclear if any of the old cast will be returning for the sequel, but Daniel Craig, who played Detective Benoit Blac, has publicly expressed interest in reprising his role. Additionally, earlier this year, Johnson shared that he would like to get the sequel in production within the next year, which backs up Feltheimer's vague hint that Knives Out 2 could receive a 2022 release date. At the 2020 Golden Globes, Knives Out was nominated for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. While it didn't end up winning a Golden Globe, it certainly got enough attention to warrant a sequel. Are you looking forward to Knives Out 2? Let us know in the comments below.

There’s going to be, wait for it, a new Call of Duty game this year sometime in Q4 2020. Activision Blizzard announced the news on their most recent call with investors, but in a break from tradition, the publisher did not announce a developer for this year’s Call of Duty. “The franchise has never been better positioned for growth and there’s more to come, including entirely new experiences within the Modern Warfare universe and then of course, in Q4 this year, a new premium Call of Duty release which is already generating excitement in our playtests,” said Activision COO Coddy Johnson. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-call-of-duty-review&captions=true"] Activision Blizzard didn’t reveal which of its three Call of Duty studios will be developing this year’s new Call of Duty game. The publisher typically rotates between Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer Games to develop each new year’s Call of Duty game. With Treyarch having developed 2018’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and Infinity Ward having finished last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the cycle would presumably have gone to Sledgehammer. However, a report by Kotaku in 2019 claimed that studio Raven, a Wisconsin-based studio that does support on the Call of Duty series, was offered to lead the 2020 entry. However, plans were changed and Treyarch was given the 2020 Call of Duty game with both Raven and Sledgehammer working as support developers. Activision also gave its annual prediction that the next Call of Duty may not sell as good as the last, but this has always been more of a precaution than the reality. And even if Call of Duty 2020 doesn’t outsell Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the series is often the best-selling games of the year. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/11/01/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-review"] This year’s Call of Duty doesn’t have a subtitle or setting announced yet, but the same report suggests that it will be Black Ops 5 set sometime in the Cold War. There will reportedly be a single-player campaign mode after the feature was missing in Black Ops 4.

The Nintendo Switch version of the recent sci-fi RPG The Outer Worlds has been delayed due to the current outbreak of coronavirus. Publisher Private Division tweeted a statement saying The Outer Worlds would be delayed due to the impact of the coronavirus on the team at Virtuos, which is working on the port. The tweet is followed up with another clarifying that everyone on the team is healthy but they are keeping the office closed, likely for preventative action.

We’re delaying @OuterWorlds on Nintendo Switch due to the coronavirus impacting the Virtuos team working on the port, to provide them enough time to finish development. We’ll now be releasing the physical version on cartridge. Once we have a new launch date, we’ll let you know!

— Private Division (@PrivateDivision) February 6, 2020

The good news is, aside from keeping employees safe, there's another silver lining to this delay. A physical version of The Outer Worlds looks to be released on cartridge for Switch owners, which is especially useful for those running out of memory card space. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="legacyId=20091934&captions=true"] Only last week we learned the release date for The Outer Worlds' Switch version would be on March 6 of this year. Private Division stated it would update this date shortly, once the team can determine a new timeline. This delay gives Switch owners more time to prepare, so here are 13 tips and tricks for getting started in The Outer Worlds. For those who've already jumped in, you can still look forward to the DLC which is set to come out sometime this year.

Update: Nintendo of America has confirmed that the manufacturing of some Nintendo products meant for the Japanese market have been impacted by the outbreak of the coronavirus. Nintendo does not anticipate a "significant impact" on the broader global supply chain, including in North America and Europe. Preorders have also not been affected by the outbreak, meaning preorders on Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the Switch special edition are likely still on schedule. here's Nintendo's full statement below:

We can confirm that the manufacturing of some Nintendo products for the Japanese market has been delayed due to the impact of 2019-nCoV coronavirus outbreak. Nintendo does not anticipate a significant impact on our broader global supply chain for systems and accessories at this time, and product sales in North America and Europe, including preorders, are not affected. We would like to express our concern and support for all those affected by the coronavirus during this challenging time.

Original Story Follows: [poilib element="accentDivider"] The coronavirus outbreak in China is impacting Nintendo in regards to their shipment of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch collector’s edition, along with other Nintendo products. According to a post published on the official Japanese Nintendo website, the company announced, “Due to the impact of the new outbreak of coronavirus infection… the impact on the shipment of Nintendo Switch Collectible Animal Crossing Set is expected to be inevitable.” IGN was able to independently verify the translation. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=animal-crossing-new-horizons-limited-edition-nintendo-switch&captions=true"] At this time, Nintendo of Japan is saying only the reservation start date for the Animal Crossing collector’s edition has been affected, not the release date of the game itself nor downloadable software. The pre-order date for the set has been changed from February 8 to “to be determined.” A second notice on the Nintendo website announced the outbreak is expected to create production and shipment delays for standard Nintendo Switch and Joy-Cons as well as delay shipments of the sold-out Ring Fit Adventure. Nintendo announced the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Nintendo Switch edition last week for North America and there’s been no word on whether those shipments have been impacted. Pre-orders have already gone up on most major retailers. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/02/animal-crossing-new-horizons-deserted-island-getaway-package-primer-trailer"] There have been discussions on whether the outbreak will impact orders for the Animal Crossing Switch in North America, but considering the release date hasn’t been affected yet for Japanese customers it’s very much a wait-and-see situation.
