Titans Season 2: Get an Exclusive Look Inside Titans Tower
All September long, IGN is highlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2019-2020 season. Today we're taking a look at Titans, which just kicked off its second season on the DC Universe streaming service. The premiere introduced viewers to fully realized version of Titans Tower, the new home base for Dick Grayson and his team. Unlike past incarnations of Titans Tower in the comics and animated series, this building hides in plain sight amid the San Francisco skyline. But inside, it features all the modern luxuries, equipment, and training areas these young heroes could ask for. We chatted with production designer Ingrid Jurek about the process of bringing Titans Tower to life and giving the team a home to call their own in Season 2.
Tokyo Ghoul S Exclusive Clip: Shuu the Cannibal Strikes!
Based on the manga of the same name by Sui Ishida, Tokyo Ghoul hit the big screen two years ago and since then fans have been wondering when they'd see the return of half-ghoul college student Ken Kaneki and the supernatural world in which he has to survive. Well, IGN has an exclusive clip from the upcoming sequel, Tokyo Ghoul S, which introduces a terrifying new foe for Ken in a character who will be a familiar face to fans of the anime and manga.
You can view the clip in the player above.
Shuu Tsukiyama is one of manga's most bloodthirsty villains. One of the so-called ghouls who live alongside humans and just happen to have a taste for mortal flesh, Shuu is an artistic, eccentric, and murderous member of the sprawling Tokyo Ghoul cast who is best known for his passion for killing and then delicately sautéing delicious humans.
Star Wars: Did Snoke Want Luke Skywalker to Join Him Instead of Kylo Ren?
The ever-mysterious Snoke got a rare moment in the spotlight thanks to Star Wars: Age of Resistance - Supreme Leader Snoke #1 by writer Tom Taylor and artist Leonard Kirk, and the issue implies that Snoke’s master plan originally involved recruiting Luke Skywalker instead of Kylo Ren.
Warning: full spoilers ahead!
The one-issue story takes place before the events of The Force Awakens and sees Snoke travel to Dagobah to train his apprentice, Kylo Ren. As they approach the same Force cave Luke once visited in Empire Strikes Back, Snoke refers to Luke as “one of the most formidable Jedi,” which prompts an annoyed Kylo Ren to ask Snoke why he speaks of Luke with such respect.
The Witcher Netflix Show Release Date Leaked
A now-deleted post from Netflix’s Netherlands social media accounts has leaked what could be The Witcher’s release date.
Witcher enthusiast website Redanian Intelligence reports that a post on Netflix Netherlands’ Facebook and Twitter accounts detailed the release dates of 10 upcoming shows, with The Witcher among them. The dates were revealed by a “how many sleeps until…” format, with The Witcher listed at 97 sleeps to go. .
By that count, The Witcher seems to be due for release on Netflix on December 17. The posts have now been deleted, potentially because of inaccurate information, or just because Netflix is not ready to reveal such information just yet. As such, take this leak as a potential indication of release date, rather that solid confirmation.
Nintendo Announce Ring Fit Adventure Fitness Game
Nintendo has finally unveiled what the circular Ring-Con controller it previously teased is used for: a new fitness game called Ring Fit Adventure which will release October 18.
Ring Fit Adventure translates physical exercises into in-game moves, and allows you to explore 20 different worlds. The adventure includes activities such as running, hovering, and steering a raft along a river. The journey is filled with enemy encounters, and players can attack and defend using 40 different ‘fit skills’, which require you to use your arms, legs, abs, and even yoga positions. As such, every quest is a bit of a workout.
Death Stranding: Everything We Learned About Gameplay in the Latest Stream
Hideo Kojima apparently didn’t want to tell people exactly what his new game is, but saw so many people asking that he decided to put on a more explanatory show at TGS. You can watch the 49-minute, Japanese-language demo above.
We already had a fairly good idea about the structure of the game - Norman Reedus’ Sam is a sci-fi delivery man, tasked with helping a fractured United States by convincing independent cities to join the Chiral Network, a connection system designed to tie the country back together. That convincing is seemingly done by helping people out, accruing Facebook-style thumbs-up likes for actions great and small. This demo, however, gave us a much better idea of what a single mission looks like - and it’s as weird, funny, and in-depth as you might expect. We’ve written down every new gameplay element we spotted, along with when we spotted them below. Here we go!
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening – The Final Preview
The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening has always been the weirdest Zelda game. That’s saying a lot in a series that has featured a sentient red boat, a golden turd, and a toilet with an arm in it, to name a few. This mysterious island brimming with bizarre townsfolk and a decidedly unusual story moved away from Zelda staples like Triforce pieces, your perpetual nemesis Ganon, and, well, Zelda herself, to tell a very different but much-appreciated tale. All that happened on the Game Boy in 1993. But, luckily, through some miraculous fate, Link’s Awakening is being given a whole new life on Nintendo Switch on September 20. So, how does it hold up?
