Syfy is developing a new limited series, titled The League of Pan, following the adventures of Peter Pan, Wendy Darling and The Lost Boys in their later years. Per Gamespot, Syfy is putting their faith, trust, and a whole lotta' pixie dust into the new series, which will serve as a "thrilling and mysterious" sequel to the original Peter Pan story, picking up with the fabled characters after ten years on the mainland. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/05/29/peter-pan-exclusive-clip-from-65th-anniversary-edition"] "Now grown up and estranged, Wendy Darling and The Lost Boys must return to Neverland to face a new evil that threatens the very existence of the magical place they once called home, reigniting bitter rivalries and unearthing twisted secrets from their past. The fantastical series explores the painful truths of growing up and the realization that 'going home' is never quite as simple as you think," the series description reads. Brian McCauley Johnson will write and produce the fantasy-drama series, described by Bill McGoldrick, President of Original Content for NBCUniversal, as "an original take on the classic," setting the limited series in "uncharted lands, making for new adventures and showcasing these characters like you've never seen them before." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-disney-animated-movies&captions=true"] This isn't Syfy's first flight to the mystical island. In 2011, the channel aired Neverland, a miniseries that presented itself as a prequel to the classic fairytale. Other notable live-action adaptations of J.M. Barrie's beloved story include Steven Spielberg's Hook and Joe Wright's recent prequel, Pan, which provided an alternative origin story for the characters. The League of Pan is just one of several new series currently in the works at Syfy, as it was recently announced that they had placed a straight-to-series order for a live-action Chucky spinoff series from Don Mancini, the writer and director of the original Child's Play horror franchise. The release dates for The League of Pan and Chucky have yet to be announced. Stay tuned to IGN for all of the latest details.

The Bloodborne modding community has discovered a boss fight that was removed from the final game and shown it off in a gameplay video.

As DualShockers reports, the Bloodborne mod community has been delving into the game’s files for the past several months to get a greater understanding of the Loran Cleric.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/03/27/bloodborne-review"]

This enemy only appears in the Loran chalice dungeons in the final game. However, there are hints in the game’s files that developer FromSoftware planned at one point for the Loran Cleric to also show up in the Forbidden Woods, Old Yharnam, and Upper Cathedral Ward.

Back in March 2019, the modding community showcased that the Loran Cleric has a super rare and powerful area-of-effect attack. The Cleric raises its staff and slams it into the ground, sending out a circular wave of fire that damages everything in its path and that causes the PS4 to drop frames.

This was the first sign that there was more to the Loran Cleric than meets the eye. Sure enough, with a bit more digging, the modders discovered a variant called Fort that was originally planned as a boss before being cut.

Using a jailbroken PS4 and DSTools (a level editor mod for FromSoftware’s games), that boss fight has now been restored, although a lot of the AI is missing, so it only spins on the spot and sends out fireballs as well as that devastating ring of fire attack.

The Bloodborne community is still very active despite the game approaching five years since it was released - some members even held a month-long Halloween event in 2019.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-fromsoftware-game-review&captions=true"]

FromSoftware released Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice last year and is now working on Elden Ring, which was written with the help of George R. R. Martin of Game of Thrones fame.

Nintendo has filed for a new trademark for the Mario & Luigi brand, despite the studio that develops the series - AlphaDream - having closed last year. Reported by LetsGoDigital (via Eurogamer), Nintendo of America has filed for the new trademark in South America through the Argentina trade mark office. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/01/20/mario-luigi-paper-jam-video-review"] The description attached to the filing includes notes of “computer game cartridges; game memory cards; computer game software; video game memory cards; interactive entertainment software to play video games; covers for mobile phones”, indicating that it covers pretty much everything that could come out of the Mario & Luigi brand. The Mario & Luigi games are RPGs developed by AlphaDream. The series’ future was put into uncertainty last year when AlphaDream filed for bankruptcy and was forced to close. Since then, Nintendo has made no official comment on its intentions for the RPG series, so fans have been uncertain as to if there would be more games. This trade mark filing could indicate plans for further releases, or could simply be an act to re-secure the trademark if it were about to lapse in South America. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=igns-top-25-nintendo-switch-games&captions=true"] While it’s unclear as to what will happen in the future for the Mario & Luigi series, Mario and Luigi themselves will naturally remain a key part of Nintendo’s games. Last year saw the releases of Super Mario Maker 2, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, among others.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been 'demade' inside PS4's exclusive creative toolbox Dreams, in the style of a PlayStation 1 game.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/13/cyberpunk-1997-playstation-1-demake-teaser-trailer"]

YouTuber Bearly Regal has released a new video that showcases his demake of Cyberpunk 2077 in Dreams, called Cyberpunk 1997. Textures are made with pixel art for that authentic old game feel, while characters and objects are sprites that rotate to always face you.

At first, the game is played in first-person as you wake up in your futuristic apartment. The apartment is fully customisable and acts as the game’s hub, where you can customise your character, accept missions, and analyse and boost your stats.

There’s also a personal armoury where you can grab your equipment before heading out to do missions. The only gun on show so far is the 9mm Vindicator - a standard issue for police officers, which is your character’s occupation in the world of Night City.

Bearly Regal then shows the market area outside of the apartment where you can buy and sell goods from vendors. The number of citizens wandering around the market changes depending on the time of day. You can talk to some of them to be sent on quests while others have unique items.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=updated-62-cyberpunk-2077-gameplay-details&captions=true"]

The final part of Cyberpunk 1997 that’s shown off is the rest of the city, which you drive around in a police car from a top-down view, resembling the early Grand Theft Auto games.

Bearly Regal explains that Night City is under martial law due to a spike in gang activity. You can choose to intervene with any character breaking curfew or the law. The world and story is said to adapt to your playstyle, whether you stick to your permitted duties or take the law into your own hands.

Bearly Regal made his own tech inside Dreams in order to piece together Cyberpunk 1997, and you can see him explain how it all works in a development video.

He has also previously made a Metal Gear Solid HD remake in Dreams, as well as a Death Stranding demake.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/10/dreams-release-date-trailer"]

Dreams is due to come out on February 14, 2020 for PS4. Developer Media Molecule has said before that it wants games made inside Dreams to be published beyond the PS4. So you never know, maybe this Cyberpunk 2077 homage could come to other platforms one day.

A group of Minecraft modders known as the Floo Network has recreated basically the entirety of the Harry Potter universe, and the results are quite magical. Filled with plenty of places to explore and puzzles and quests to fulfill, players can visit some of the most recognizable Harry Potter locations like Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, and much more. For what is essentially a Minecraft mod, the whole project looks surprisingly fleshed out. Aside from merely exploring, players will be able to fight enemies, trade in Diagon Alley, scavenge for loot and supplies, and even explore parts of London. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=igns-top-25-modern-pc-games&captions=true"] Players will even be able to visit the Quidditch Field and play a game or two with friends. Further, a lot of the locations in the Minecraft Harry Potter mod are interactive, like the Grand Staircase, where all the stairs are continuously moving. Additionally, there are a couple of puzzle rooms where players will have to use their wands to shoot at a target or cast a spell to move objects around in order to solve the mystery. Around four years ago, the group released a similar mod that was far less interactive and expansive, and a few years ago decided to relaunch the project with new ambitions. "This current project has been in the works for around two years, and has become gradually more ambitious along the way," one project lead, who goes by the username Wednesday Frog, told IGN. " If you count the old map as part of the project it's been closer to seven years." Wednesday Frog told us that their inspirations were drawn from their love for Harry Potter and Minecraft, and they've even visited some of the filming locations to make their digital world as accurate as possible. "Hogwarts itself was very complicated, said Wednesday Frog. He continued, "Since the castle layout changes a lot throughout the film series, it isn't very consistent." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2014/02/13/minecraft-pocket-edition-review"] However, despite some complicated builds, the team says that their love for Harry Potter, Minecraft, and their fans have encouraged them to keep going. "The inspiration to continue was the support and kind words from all the Harry Potter fans who enjoyed what we'd made a long time ago, and the knowledge that we could expand and improve the whole thing a lot with the experience we had gained over the course of the first version of the map." At launch, players will also be able to visit places like Privet Drive, The Great Hall, the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, the Green House, the Chamber of Secrets, Hagrid's Hut, and much more. Floo Network has not announced an official release date for the Harry Potter mod, but told us that they are aiming to release it to the public by the end of January. In the meantime, players can play as Baby Yoda in Minecraft thanks to the work of a dedicated fan. Further, there have been rumors that the Vatican may be getting its own Minecraft servers, in order to launch a friendlier place to play.

CBS All Access’ Star Trek: Picard has been renewed for a second season, before the first season even premieres on January 23.

Julie McNamara, executive vice president of original content for CBS All Access, made the announcement on Sunday as part of a Television Critics Association presentation.

“We’re thrilled to announce plans for a second season before the series’ debut, and we are confident that ‘Star Trek’ fans and new viewers alike will be captured by the stellar cast and creative team’s meticulously crafted story when it premieres on Jan. 23,” McNamara said in a statement.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/01/12/star-trek-the-picard-shows-timeline-explained"]

Reports of a season 2 being in development were all but confirmed back in December, thanks to Deadline. Those early reports indicated that season 2 would be 10 episodes long, but CBS has yet to confirm that much.

Terry Matalas, writer on 12 Monkeys, Nikita, and two episodes of Star Trek: Enterprise, is set to join as executive producer on the series.

Star Trek: Picard will follow the continuing adventures of the former captain of the USS Enterprise, Jean-Luc Picard, as played by the iconic Sir Patrick Stewart, 20 years after the events of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

A 20-year-old gamer in America saved a friend's life from more than 5,000 miles away earlier this month, according to a report from the BBC. 17-year-old North West England resident Aidan Jackson was playing video games online with his friend, 20-year-old Texas resident Dia Lathora, on January 2 when Jackson experienced a seizure. "I just put my headset back on and I heard what I could only describe as a seizure, so obviously I started to get worried and immediately started asking what was going on and if he was okay," Lathora said to Liverpool Echo. "When he didn’t respond I instantly started to look up the emergency number for the EU. When that didn’t work I just had to hope the non-emergency would work, it had an option for talking to a real person, and I can’t tell you how quickly I clicked that button." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/31/the-best-games-of-the-decade-2010-2019"] BBC reports that Lathora had Jackson's address even though the two never met in person. Police arrived to Jackson's surprised parents at 9:40 p.m., about 40 minutes after Jackson's seizure reportedly started. Jackson's parents told police they hadn't called anyone, but when police explained the call had come from America, Jackson's mother went upstairs to check on her son, finding him "extremely disorientated." Aidan Jackson had previously experienced a seizure in May 2019, according to the BBC. He is currently awaiting a new appointment at a local hospital to address the issue. Jackson's parents expressed gratitude for Lathora's quick action. "We are extremely thankful for what Dia did and shocked that we could be downstairs and not know anything was happening," Ms Jackson told the BBC. "Dia had our address but didn't have any contact numbers, so it was amazing she managed to get help from so far away. I've spoken to her and expressed our thanks - she's just glad she could help. Aidan is a lot better and hopefully everything is OK when he has his appointment at the hospital but he's doing well."
