113 Photos of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Food, Merch and More
The Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge theme park doesn't open until May 31st at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. (and not until August 29th at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.) but fortunately you don't have to wait that long to get a sneak peek inside the long-awaited Star Wars theme park.
IGN was lucky enough to get early media access to Galaxy's Edge -- but don't worry, we used this power of the Force for good, not evil. Click below for 113 photos revealing the inside look at the food, merch, Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run ride and, of course, a look at Galaxy's Edge itself. Editor's Note: This slideshow has been updated with official Disneyland imagery of the park, as well as additional looks at Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities.
A New Need for Speed Is Coming in 2019, But Won’t Be at E3
EA has reiterated that it is developing a new Need for Speed game, confirming that it will be released “later in 2019” but it won’t be unveiled as part of this year’s EA Play showcase during E3.
“Are you going to hear more about the next NFS title? Yes. Is it being released this year? Yes. Will we be doing anything in June? No,” wrote EA’s Ben Walke in a statement published on the company’s official site.
Walke noted that 2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the Need for Speed series but no real details of 2019’s instalment were discussed.
The last game in the series, Need for Speed Payback, was released in 2017. It was criticised on IGN for its insidious, F2P-inspired, RNG-based upgrade system and its superficial and linear police chases and action sequences.
Batman Writer to Script New Gods Movie for Director Ava DuVernay
Tom King, known for writing the Rebirth-era Batman comics for DC, will reportedly co-write the script for the upcoming New Gods movie with director Ava DuVernay.
Reported by The Wrap, the duo will adapt Jack Kirby’s New Gods series of comics, which he first created back in 1971. New Gods involves the natives of two planets: the pristine New Genesis ruled by Highfather and the nightmarish Apokolips ruled by Darkseid. Once part of the same world, Urgrund, the two were split after the death of the “Old Gods” during Ragnarok.
Beyond Batman, King is well-known for his work on Mister Miracle, for which he won a 2018 Eisner Award for best writer. Mister Miracle was another of Kirby’s creations, and was part of his Fourth World storyline that also involved New Gods and Forever People. Justice League villain Steppenwolf and the Mother Box are also Kirby's creations from the Fourth World Saga.
Revisiting 7 of The Biggest Rumors Leading Into E3 2019
Update (6/12): With all five major E3 2019 press conferences behind us, and therefore all of the show's big announcements, we're looking back at these seven rumors to determine which proved true and which, for now, remain unconfirmed.
Rarely does the rumor mill churn harder than the weeks leading up to E3. And with talk of next-gen hardware, long-awaited sequels, new IP, unexpected collaborations, and more, this year's show is no exception.
To better track these rumblings, we've collected the biggest rumors and purported leaks surrounding this year's show and compiled them into the gallery and list below. As with any unsubstantiated rumor, take all of these with some skepticism, as they remain unconfirmed as of this time.
Become a PC Gaming Master with These Gaming Mice
There are few relationships in the PC gaming world as important as the one between a gamer and their gaming mouse. That's why it's so important to pick the absolute best gaming mouse. It's the most direct connection you have to whatever PC game you're playing (no offense to gaming keyboards).
A comfortable, accurate mouse plays a huge role in helping you dominate a multiplayer match in Apex Legends, as an unwieldy one will just lead to missed shots. Not to overstate it, but from a gaming perspective, choosing the right gaming mouse is literally a matter of (in-game) life or death. I've tested the finest gaming peripherals available, from arcade fight sticks to racing wheels, and now I would like to offer you my picks for the very best gaming mice. And if you're looking for the best Black Friday deals from Amazon and Walmart, we've got you covered there as well.
Road to E3: What We Want from Animal Crossing
Revealed during the Nintendo direct for September 2018, Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch was finally confirmed to be in development via a short and strange teaser featuring iconic and nefarious raccoon Tom Nook in his dimly lit den, creepily basking in the glow of his computer monitor. Tom implied that players would soon be “coming home” to Animal Crossing and that he needed to take some time to make a “nice new place for everyone when they’re ready.” The teaser ended with a “Welcome to Animal Crossing - 2019” logo and Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch was officially confirmed.

Terminator’s Many Timelines Explained: Where Does Dark Fate Fit In?
When it comes to convoluted mythology, the Terminator franchise is hard to top. This is a series predicated on time travel and the conflict between fate and free will. Practically every new movie manages to rewrite the series' timeline and change the future. That winding road map is only becoming more complicated with the impending arrival of Terminator: Dark Fate, the latest movie to reboot some sequels and continue others.
If you need help making sense of the numerous timelines in the Terminator saga, we're here to help. Here's a breakdown of every movie in the series and the five major timelines introduced so far. Note that we're not including the various Terminator comics and novels, as they just further complicate matters (but we are including the excellent The Sarah Connor Chronicles TV show).
Poll Results: What’s the Best Call of Duty Game Ever?

The Best Call of Duty Games, Ranked by You
You picked Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (not to be confused with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered, here's an explainer on all that). It's pretty funny a reboot of this landmark title was announced this very week! It was pretty close there with Modern Warfare 2, and Black Ops trailed both significantly in third place. World at War, 2008's follow-up to Modern Warfare hit number four -- the golden era of COD!
