The Taiwanese ratings board may have outed a Switch release for BioShocks 1, 2, Infinite, and the collection comprising all three. Reported by Lootpots, BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition and BioShock: The Collection have all been rated for Switch. That implies that each game in the series may be sold separately, as well as in a full series pack. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/09/14/bioshock-the-collection-review"] While not an official confirmation, ratings like these often pop up when a publisher is about to announce a new game release. We've contacted 2K Games for a statement. When it first arrived in 2017, we gave BioShock: The Collection an 8.2 review, saying it was "a great introduction for newcomers, but returning vets will find little new here."

A Skies of Arcadia developer has asked fans to start a movement that aims to convince Sega to make a sequel to the game.

Kenji Hiruta, one of the programmers on the Dreamcast RPG classic, is pushing fans to join him in urging Sega to greenlight a sequel to the RPG.

-Ms.Itsuki Hoshi is the illustrator of Skies of Arcadia. (and is sooo elegant!) -She agreed to give this autograph to an oversea fan. -I'll pay the fee to send it. -I believe that if this kind of movement expands a lot, SEGA may consider to develop the sequel.

— 蛭田健司 Kenji Hiruta (@k_h00) January 13, 2020

Hiruta took to Twitter on January 13, 2020 to give away an illustration based on the game created by Skies of Arcadia illustrator Itsuki Hoshi. In the same tweet, he also said that “if this kind of movement expands a lot, SEGA may consider to develop the sequel.”

Later on that same day, Hiruta responded to a tweet by a fan pointing out that he was pushing for people to ask for Skies of Arcadia to return. “Strongly,” he tweeted, “I really really want to develop the sequel.”

The possibility of this happening doesn’t seem completely out of the question given that fans helped Shenmue III happen - another series once owned by Sega.

However, Skies of Arcadia producer Rieko Kadama doesn’t think the game needs a sequel. She spoke to Kotaku on the topic last year while also dismissing the chance of the game being ported to PC or Nintendo Switch.

“I personally feel that [the GameCube’s] Skies of Arcadia Legends completed the “director’s cut” of the title,” Kadama said.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=best-rpg-nominees&captions=true"]

The GameCube version, titled Skies of Arcadia Legends, came out in 2002. In our Skies of Arcadia Legends review we called it the “best GameCube RPG yet.”

Crystal Dynamics has announced that Marvel’s Avengers has been delayed.

The developer made the announcement today that the game’s release date has been pushed back to September 4, 2020.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/30/marvels-avengers-game-overview-trailer"]

“When we set out to bring you our vision for Marvel’s Avengers, we committed to delivering an original story-driven campaign, engaging co-op, and compelling content for years to come,” reads the announcement.

“To that end, we will spend this additional development time focusing on fine tuning and polishing the game to the high standards our fans expect and deserve.”

It seems the reason for this delay is nothing more than to ensure that Marvel’s Avengers is the best game it can be when it’s released. It was previously slated to come out on May 15, 2020 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvels-avengers-a-day-gameplay-trailer-screenshots&captions=true"]

“We apologize for the delay. We’re confident it will be worth the wait,” reads the end of the announcement.

Fans still looking to get a taste of Crystal Dynamics’ take on the Avengers can still, presumably, look forward to the prequel novel due to come out in March 2020.

Nintendo has announced that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game director Masahiro Sakurai will be unveiling and giving an in-depth look at a new DLC fighter on Thursday, January 16, 2020, at 6am PT/9am ET/2pm GMT. Nintendo promises roughly 35-minutes of footage for this mysterious new character which, if Nintendo keeps to its original promise, will be released by February 2020. This new fighter will join Piranha Plant, Persona 5's Joker, the Dragon Quest Hero, Banjo Kazooie, and Fatal Fury's Terry Bogard as characters who have been added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate following its release in December of 2018. As for who this character may end up being, Sakurai has previously stated that Super Smash Bros. will continue to only feature video game characters, even though fans have frequently requested the addition of such others as Goku and Iron Man. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=even-more-characters-we-want-in-super-smash-bros-ultimate-pt-1&captions=true"] There have been unconfirmed leaks for DLC fighters, which we won't spoil for you here, and we have also discussed who we believe would be the best additions to the already massive roster of beloved characters.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been delayed to April 10. It was originally scheduled for release on March 3. In a press release, producer Yoshinori Kitase provided a statement:

“We know that so many of you are looking forward to the release of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE and have been waiting patiently to experience what we have been working on. In order to ensure we deliver a game that is in-line with our vision, and the quality that our fans who have been waiting for deserve, we have decided to move the release date to April 10, 2020.

"Thank you for your patience and continued support”

A Quiet Place 1 and 2’s co-writer, director, and star hasn’t ruled out the possibility of making a third film in the series.

In an interview with Total Film magazine (via GamesRadar), John Krasinski said that A Quiet Place Part 2 may not necessarily be the last we see of the scary world of sound-sensitive monsters he created.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/02/a-quiet-place-part-2-official-trailer"]

“I set up a couple of tiny little Easter eggs in 2 that not only explain more about 1, but would allow for more mythology,” Krasinski said. “But, being a Boston Catholic, I can’t be like, ‘Yeah, of course, there’ll be a third!’ No, not at all.”

Krasinski made it clear that he’s not talked to the studio about making another film in the series after A Quiet Place Part 2, and adds that “this isn’t one of those franchises where we keep pumping them out if they make money.”

However, Krasinski didn’t shut down the idea of doing A Quiet Place Part 3 at one point, he would just need to be happy with it.

“But if I could think of a way to continue this world as elegantly as people deserve, because they gave me their trust in watching this movie and loving this movie as much as they did? Sure,” he said. “But if you’re asking: do I think I could just do a third one, to just do a third one? No way.”

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-14-best-horror-sequels-of-the-century-so-far&captions=true"]

A Quiet Place Part 2 is due to arrive in theatres in March 2020. It’s said to focus more on the origins of the film’s monsters as well as tell the stories of other survivors.

In our A Quiet Place review we gave it an 8.2 and said “it'll probably remind you of Jurassic Park mixed with Cloverfield, plus a dash of Aliens and a pinch of Buffy's ‘Hush’.”

Update:  Billie Eilish will be performing the theme song to No Time to Die, the 25th film in the James Bond franchise. "The No Time to Die title song will be performed by Billie Eilish. Billie has written the song with her brother Finneas and is the youngest artist in history to write and record a James Bond theme song," a tweet from the official 007 account revealed on Tuesday. Eilish commented on the announcement, saying, "It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I'm still in shock." [poilib element="accentDivider"] Original story: Billie Eilish has shared a montage of photos of iconic Bond girls on social media, further fuelling fan speculation that she might be the artist behind the No Time to Die theme song. The pop star posted a snapshot of Bond girls past and present to her Instagram story on Tuesday, starting with Léa Seydoux, who is reprising her Spectre role as psychologist Madeleine Swann in the 25th James Bond film. The initial post was followed by images of leading ladies from Casino Royale, Skyfall, Quantum of Solace, Die Another Day, Thunderball and From Russia With Love. [caption id="attachment_2286768" align="alignnone" width="700"] (Image credit: Instagram/billieeilish)[/caption] While no official confirmation has been given at this time, evidence that Eilish is singing the No Time to Die title track has been mounting over the past few days, as fans recently noticed that the singer and her brother/musical collaborator Finneas are both followed on Instagram by Cary Fukunaga, the director of the upcoming film, who only follows 81 people on the platform. If the rumours turn out to be true, Eilish would become the youngest artist to ever record a James Bond theme song at just 18 years of age, following in the footsteps of Sam Smith who was 23 years old when he recorded his Bond ballad, Writing's On The Wall, for Spectre in 2015. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/04/every-daniel-craig-bond-trailer"] In other music news, 007 producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli recently confirmed that Hans Zimmer will be stepping in to score James Bond's latest adventure just three months ahead of the British spy franchise's 25th theatrical release.

007 producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have officially confirmed that Hans Zimmer will step in to score James Bond's latest adventure in the franchise's 25th film, No Time to Die. This news was announced via a post on the official 007 website, substantiating the rumours that the German-born composer had been hired to create the music for the next film just three months ahead of its theatrical release. This comes after original composer Dan Romer was reportedly dismissed over creative differences. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/04/no-time-to-die-official-trailer"] "It's a dream come true to be working with the legendary composer Hans Zimmer on our twenty-fifth James Bond film, No Time To Die," Wilson and Broccoli said in a statement. While director Cary Joji Fukunaga added, "I'm beyond excited that Hans is scoring No Time To Die. The music of Bond has always been iconic and I've already witnessed Hans adding his touch of genius to the Bond legacy." Over the course of his long-spanning career, Zimmer has composed and produced some of the best-known and most influential film scores of all time. His notable works include Disney's 1994 animated classic The Lion King, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Original Score, The Pirates of the Carribean series, and The Dark Knight trilogy. This year, he is scoring Wonder Woman 1984, Dune and Top Gun: Maverick on top of No Time to Die. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=james-bond-no-time-to-die-character-posters&captions=true"] Hitting screens in April, No Time to Die will see Bond's peaceful retirement from active service interrupted when his CIA friend Felix Leiter tracks him down in Jamaica seeking help to rescue a kidnapped scientist. The mission sets Bond onto the "trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology." Fans already have plenty of theories about Bond 25's villain potentially being a rebooted version of Dr. No, so you might want to read more about Rami Malek's supervillain and scan the character posters for additional details. Or, for a broader round-up, take a look at our rundown of everything we know so far.

CD Projekt Red has revealed the anniversary gifts given to some of its employees recently, including a guitar signed by Keanu Reeves.

The gifts were shown off in a tweet from the Cyberpunk 2077 developer that celebrated the past year of work anniversaries within the company. “This time we had 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th (!) work anniversaries to award,” reads the tweet.

Each year we celebrate with the Rebels who hit some serious milestones at CD PROJEKT RED. This time we had 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th (!) work anniversaries to award – take a look at the unique gifts designed for that occasion! #insideRED pic.twitter.com/Breb6VWAqv

The images included with the tweet reveal four of the anniversary gifts including a black briefcase with “killing it since 2009” written across it in red.

For 10 years at CD Projekt Red, employees receive a custom jacket with the Cyberpunk 2077 band Samurai’s logo on the back. This was gifted to quest designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz in 2018 for his 10th anniversary at the studio.

For 20 years a custom guitar with ‘20’ and the CD Projekt Red logo is gifted to the employee.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/28/cyberpunk-2077-53-gameplay-details"]

The big prize awarded to one employee who’s been there for 25 years is a custom Johnny Silverhand guitar signed by Keanu Reeves, who plays the character in Cyberpunk 2077.

The guitar was made by Polish studio Guitar Service, originally to be showcased at events like E3, but is now in the hands of a long-serving employee.

If you want a piece of Cyberpunk 2077 for yourself then you can try grabbing one of the Keanu Reeves figures. Make sure to check out the Cyberpunk 2077 PS1 demake made entirely in Dreams, too.

The Super Nintendo World theme park will open as a Mario-centric experience - but it might not always be that way, according to Universal Studio Japan.

Super Nintendo World will open its doors by July and, while attractions have yet to be revealed in detail, we know that iconic landmarks such as Mushroom Kingdom, Peach’s Castle, Bowser’s Castle and a Mario Kart course will be featured.

The newly released concept video “We Are Born to Play” (below) shows characters such as Yoshi, Goombas and Piranha Plants, and iconic objects ranging from Warp Pipes to Question Blocks, all of which point to a faithful interpretation of the Mario universe.

Here is a special music video collaboration between @wearegalantis, @charli_xcx and @USJ_official celebrating #SUPERNINTENDOWORLD! The #Nintendo theme park experience will open in Japan this summer. #USJ https://t.co/2w1DR2nqhJ

Kurumi Mori of Bloomberg reported on the Super Nintendo World presentation in Japan and provided more info on the park that is scheduled to open before the Summer Olympics, which begins on July 24, 2020.

But what about Nintendo’s other franchises? This is not Super Mario World but Super Nintendo World, after all. While there’s no doubt that Mario is Nintendo’s mascot character, the Japanese video game company is home to many popular franchises. Can we expect to see any attractions, shops or even restaurants themed after these franchises at Super Nintendo World?

“Not right away,” Universal Japan Studio’s marketing head Ayumu Yamamoto told IGN Japan. “We’re starting with a Mario centered area. However, we are thinking about expanding to Nintendo’s other IPs after opening.”

While Yamamoto did not make any promises, it does seem likely that we will be able to see Nintendo’s other franchises come to life at the theme park in the near future. A Star Fox themed shooting attraction? A souvenir shop run by Tom Nook? Or maybe some fresh ice-cream from Hyrule’s Lon Lon Ranch? What would you like to see?
