The Snake Eyes origin movie has started production and star Henry Golding revealed that the upcoming movie will explore the human side of the G.I. Joe character. That means going behind the mask and diving deeper into how the character becomes the famous ninja operative. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/10/snake-eyes-henry-golding-on-why-its-important-to-show-him-without-his-mask"] During a press junket in Japan, Golding told the press that it’s important to see Snake Eyes’ face in the movie. “For us to never really see what’s beneath the mask it always missed something,” Golding said. “Snake Eyes was always seen as a weapon, as almost an inanimate object. But when you get to see someone’s eyes as a weapon, as almost an inanimate object. But when you get to see someone’s eyes you get to see that past, their future, the personality behind that.” Golding revealed that the origin movie will explore this human aspect of the character and will take place somewhere at the beginning of Snake Eyes’ career and “see how he progresses and how develops" as a human. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=snake-eyes-movie-every-confirmed-actor-and-character&captions=true"] Snake Eyes is being directed by Robert Schwntke. Aside from Golding as Snake Eyes, the movie will star Andrew Koji as his Cobra rival Storm Shadow, Iko Uwais as Hard Master, Ursula Corbero as Baroness, and Samara Weaving as Scarlett. This is the first G.I Joe film since 2013’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Snake Eyes is scheduled to be released in theaters on October 23, 2020.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be out in just a few months for current-gen consoles. But that doesn’t mean CD Projekt Red has completely written off next-gen hardware. In an alleged DM to a fan, the developer confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 isn’t limited to current-gen hardware, although it is the primary focus. Reddit user Astro4545 posted a screenshot of a private message correspondence they had with CD Projekt Red over Twitter. In it, they asked the developer that since new consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are expected sometime this year whether Cyberpunk 2077 might be a cross-gen game. The studio responded, “Possibly, however current generation is our main focus [at the moment].” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/08/27/cyberpunk-2077-gameplay-demo"] IGN reached out to CD Projekt Red but was told by the developers that they “do not have any comments regarding the topic.” It should be noted that speculation regarding Cyberpunk 2077 being a cross-gen game has been floating around since last year. And it’s not like Cyberpunk 2077 won’t support next-gen features. Nvidia announced that the company partnered with CD Projekt Red to bring ray tracing technology into the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077. And ray tracing is supposedly a big feature for next-gen consoles like the PS5 and Series X. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=updated-62-cyberpunk-2077-gameplay-details&captions=true"] Ultimately, Cyberpunk 2077 is just a few months away from launch on current-gen consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. CD Projekt has also stated that focus is on the immediate launch and current-gen hardware. Check out our many Cyberpunk 2077 previews and guides for more coverage on the upcoming sci-fi RPG.

The first-ever Harry Potter franchise flagship store is coming to New York City this summer, according to a tweet as originally spotted by the New York Daily News on Friday. The flagship store will be three stories high and will be located on Broadway, next to the Flatiron Building. The store will be the largest dedicated to the massive magical franchise, which started with a series of novels and spawned both a film series and theme park, as well as over a dozen video games – including an AR game from Niantic last year. [caption id="attachment_228415" align="alignnone" width="720"] Concept art of the Harry Potter Flagship store in NYC.[/caption] “The store will house the largest collection of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts products in the world under one roof,” Warner Bros. stated, according to the New York Daily News. Visitors to the store can purchase items inspired by the Harry Potter franchise that are already available in other retail stores, including the Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/11/24/best-25-harry-potter-characters"] The new store will also have special offerings, such as personalized wands and robes. Interactive experiences and photo opportunities will also be available but were not detailed further. The opening date for the store is forthcoming. While we wait for the first-ever Harry Potter Flagship store, read all the details on Fantastic Beasts 3, which will take place in a different country than has been visited thus far, and will release in 2021.
