With the D23 Expo kicking off today, Disney and Sony's recent bad breakup couldn't have come at a worse time. Days after news broke that Spider-Man is likely exiting the MCU, the iconic hero is still prominently featured in promotional art at D23.

Kick Back and Watch FORTY FREAKING EIGHT Minutes of Death Stranding
What started as a mysterious project headed by visionary game developer Hideo Kojima has blossomed into one of the weirdest video game promotional campaigns we have ever, and may ever, see. A few times a year, Kojima comes out of hiding/development to give us an update on how Death Stranding's going – typically followed by a trailer or cinematic to show something new from the game. The trailers have become notorious for being beautiful, long, and incredibly vague. They typically dredge up more questions than they answer, but to some anticipating Death Stranding – that's the appeal.
Borderlands 3: 21 Hilarious NPC Combat Dialogue Lines
The Borderlands series is famous for its sense of humor, and Borderlands 3 doesn't miss a comedy-beat, absolutely oozing with jokes. The laugh-out-loud hilarity of the Borderlands series colors every part of the game, from its gun names, to character dialogue, and basically everything in between.
Even the NPCs can't resist a hilarious quip when they're knocking on the doors of death. When you take out a bandit or other NPC in the game, their last living words are often a hilarious phrase or lobbed insult. Check out the video above to see (and hear) 21 hilarious combat-dialogue lines from Borderlands 3.
Borderlands 3 is our IGN First game of August 2019, and we've been bringing you first looks and previews of Gearbox's upcoming looter shooter.

The Mandalorian: First Poster Revealed for Star Wars Disney+ Show
Disney has revealed the first poster for the highly anticipated Star Wars spinoff series, The Mandalorian.
Shared on a new Instagram account for Disney+, the poster shows off Pedro Pascal as the lone Mandalorian gunfighter himself, on what one can assume is the planet of Mandalore – a place that was once connected with the Sith, where they partnered with the Mandalorians to create a war against the Jedi Order and the Old Republic.
Everything about this ancient planet can be read in our breakdown of what this environment is that both Boba Fett and the Mandalorian have called their home.
Marvel’s Avengers: Dozens of New Details About Gameplay, Story, and More
Marvel’s Avengers is shaping up to be one of 2020’s biggest games for PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC, and we finally got hands-on time (and gameplay video) from at Gamescom 2019. The demo of Marvel’s Avengers is exactly what was shown off during Square-Enix’s E3 2019 press conference, but there were many Marvel's Avengers details revealed at Gamescom 2019 that gave us some insight into what to expect from Marvel’s Avengers’ story, character customization, gear, multiplayer, DLC, and more.
Marvel’s Avengers Setting
- The game takes place five years after the cinematic trailer that we saw during E3, where the Avengers were blamed for a tragedy that struck the San Francisco Bay Area. Your task is to reassemble each of Earth’s mightiest heroes.
Solasta Is the Best D&D Game I’ve Ever Seen and It’s Not Actually a D&D Game
I unabashedly love Dungeons & Dragons - when Baldur’s Gate 3 was announced earlier this year, I squealed like a child. It’s why, when I got to see an hour-long demo of Solasta: Crown of the Magister at Gamescom 2019, I was blown away by how well it replicates one of my favorite tabletop experiences.
Based on the Open Gaming License SRD for D&D 5th Edition - the publicly available ruleset that lets designers build new experiences on the DnD 5e engine (and gamers to play D&D for free) - Solasta is a classic party-focused RPG with turn-based tactical combat (similar to what you’d find in something like X-Com or Wasteland 3). What’s unique is how it integrates the concepts and mechanics of a tabletop game into the digital realm, and in some cases the clever ways in which it has to tweak those dice-rolling norms to fit into pixels.

Birds of Prey Is Not a Suicide Squad Sequel, Says Screenwriter
Birds of Prey screenwriter Christina Hodson has confirmed that the upcoming DC movie will act as a standalone film rather than a follow-up to 2016's Suicide Squad.
In a recent interview with Total Film, Hodson openly discussed her approach to crafting the screenplay for the Harley Quinn spin-off movie, describing the Birds of Prey script as a "standalone story", per ScreenRant.
"It's a character we have met before, but it's really its own story, and that's kind of how I approached it," she said. "I just tried to take myself off-leash. I fell in love with this character, and then all of these other new characters. And I just created a brand new story that felt like its own thing, and that doesn't have to feel like it follows one or the other."
