Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Be Evo Japan 2020’s Main Title
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will be the main title at Evo Japan 2020 next January.
Announced at the Nintendo Live Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Challenge Cup grand finals, the gaming calendar’s flagship fighting tournament will host Ultimate as its headline game at next year’s Japan championship, January 24-26.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will sit alongside many other games, such as Tekken 7, Soul Calibur VI, Samurai Shodown, and BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle.
While it’s great news for Smash fans to see Ultimate headline Evo Japan, the event does come on the exact same weekend as Genesis 7; the dedicated Super Smash Bros. tournament held in Oakland, California. Genesis is the world’s largest “grassroots” Smash event, so it will be interesting to see which event fans show more interest in that weekend.

Call of Duty Dev Says There Will Be No Loot Boxes in Modern Warfare
Infinity Ward's art director has made clear that the development team has no current plans to include a loot box or "Supply Drop" system.
Joel Emslie took to Reddit to clarify matters after a YouTuber and leaker claimed that Modern Warfare would include a micro-transaction system where some weapons would be hidden behind a paywall. This news came just weeks after the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beta appeared to have references to loot boxes. This angered some fans, since the Call of Duty games that have included loot boxes in the past did so only on a cosmetic basis.
Murder Mystery 2 is a Go at Netflix
Given that (according to Netflix) 31 million people watched Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston in Murder Mystery during the first 72 hours of its release, making it one of the streaming site's biggest weekend debuts ever, it's not surprising that a sequel is currently in development.
To compare, the Sandra Bullock-led Bird Box had over (according to Netflix) 45 million accounts watch it in seven days globally.
So yes, as THR reports, Murder Mystery 2 is in the works and that James Vanderbilt (Zodiac, White House Down) is in negotiations to return as well.
WWE: Becky Lynch Celebrates Her “Manniversary,” Looking Back at the Biggest Year of Her Career
While promoting WWE 2K20, as the game's (first female) cover star, WWE RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch took some time to reflect on the past year, which has been the biggest of her career. After all, this week did mark her "Manniversary."
That's right, it was this time last year when Lynch started referring to herself as "The Man." Since then, she's flown off on a meteoric rise that saw her capture both the RAW and SmackDown Women's Championships as part of the first-ever female main event of WrestleMania.
Speaking to me, Lynch said "Wow, yes, it would have been around this time that I started it. Whoa. Either time is flying or, I don't know, maybe it even feels shorter than a year. It's been crazy. It's been go go go go. So many things have happened that it's sometimes hard to sit back and realize 'Well, this has gone alright for itself.'"
Is Bill Murray in Zombieland: Double Tap? Red Band Trailer Reveals the Answer
Premiering 10 years after the original, and also set 10 years later, Zombieland: Double Tap is already earning raves from those who've seen advance screenings. And star Emma Stone is already on board to keep making a new installment every decade.
Fans have been wondering, however, if Bill Murray will return in the sequel. As you recall, in the 2009 movie, Murray played a fictional version of himself, as a survivor of the zompocalypse, who took to wearing zombie makeup so he could safely walk the streets of Los Angeles. Of course, if you saw the film, you also remember how this tactic backfired on Murray big time.
Box Office: Joker Scores $55 Million Second Weekend
Breaking more October box office records, Todd Phillips' Joker took in an estimated $55 million 3-day haul for its second weekend, breaking the previous 3-day second weekend record set by 2013's Gravity, which took in $43.1 million back in 2013.
As Deadline reports, estimates had Joker pulling in about $10 million less. Right now, heading into its third weekend, the movie is just shy of cracking $200 million domestically. Joker pulled in an additional $125.7 million overseas.
As its global box office hits $500 million, Joker stands as Phillips' second highest-grossing film after The Hangover 2. This will change in a week's time, however.
Fortnite Season 10 Ending Event Appears to Have Destroyed the Entire Map
The Fortnite season 11 event has officially happened, and it appears that the original Fortnite map - the only Fortnite map - is gone.

Now, all that's left is a screen showing a black hole.
You can watch the entire event unfold in the video above.
Here's what now happens when you log in to Fortnite:
Here's what the black hole looks like.
Hearthstone Player blitzchung Responds to Blizzard Reducing His Ban
Ng Wai “blitzchung” Chung, the Hearthstone player who was banned from professional play for one year by Blizzard, has released a roughly translated statement regarding Blizzard’s decision to reduce his ban and reinstate his prize winnings. Chung thanked his fans for their support over the last week, and expressed gratitude towards Blizzard for its decision to reduce his punishment.
“For tournament prizing, I quoted what Blizzard said on the official website, they mention that I played fair in the tournament and they believe I should receive my prizing,” Chung wrote. “This is the part I really appreciate. Blizzard also said they understand for some this is not about the prize, but perhaps for others it is disrespectful to even discuss it. People from Blizzard had explained this to me through a phone call and I really appreciate that and I accept their decision on this part.”
