Marvel Comics has been teasing the third and final chapter in the Spider-Verse trilogy, and now we know exactly what that series is. Marvel will launch a new monthly series in October simply titled Spider-Man, and it features two of the most prolific Spider-Man creators in the company's long history.

Spider-Man features the return of Dan Slott, who wrote several hundred issues of The Amazing Spider-Man between 2008 and 2018 and penned the original Spider-Verse crossover in 2014. Joining Slott is artist Mark Bagley, whose past work includes multiple volumes of The Amazing Spider-Man and an impressive 111 consecutive issues of Ultimate Spider-Man.

The new series will open with a storyline called "The End of the Spider-Verse," which builds on the upcoming Edge of Spider-Verse miniseries and the introduction of several new, multiversal Spider-Men like Spider-Laird and Night Spider. "The End of the Spider-Verse" features the return of Morlun, the villain infamous for killing Peter Parker in 2005's Spider-Man: The Other, and a member of the vampiric family that fueled the events of both 2014's Spider-Verse and 2018's Spider-Geddon. This time around, Morlun has assembled a team of powerful allies to destroy Peter Parker and his fellow Spiders once and for all.

Spider-Man will also intertwine with the events of Zeb Wells and John Romita, Jr's Amazing Spider-Man series, taking advantage of Peter Parker's controversial new status quo as a disgraced hero working with a supposedly reformed Norman Osborn.

“How does it feel to be writing Spider-Man again? Like I'm home. Like there's nowhere else I'd rather be," said Slott in Marvel's press release. "How does it feel to be working on it with Mark Bagley, one of the greatest Spidey icons of all time?! Honored, excited, and unstoppable! Mark and I are two guys who live to tell Spider-Man stories. Cut us and we bleed Spider-Man. And now Marvel has entrusted the two of us to bring back their monthly-- adjectiveless-- SPIDER-MAN title!"

Slott added, “We are not going to let you down. We're going to take BIG swings in each and every issue! And the first thing we're doing, right out of the gate, is the Spider-Verse comic to END all Spider-Verse comics!"

It's not surprising to see Marvel launch another high-profile, monthly Spider-Man comic in 2022, given that this is the character's 60th anniversary. Even the title choice seems intentional, as 1990's Spider-Man #1 remains one of the highest-selling single issues of all time.

Spider-Man #1 will hit stores on October 5, 2022.

The new series not only takes advantage of Spidey's 60th anniversary, it also debuts in the lead-up to 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Find out more about Issa Rae's Spider-Woman character and learn how the movie's new villain was inspired by the Portal games.

Since Sucker Punch’s formation nearly 25 years ago, the studio has developed multiple beloved series like InFamous and Sly Cooper. Now, as the studio shifts its focus toward a new IP, these franchises won't be receiving new entries in the near future.

In a statement published on the studio’s website, Sucker Punch thanked fans for their support and laid out some of its plans for the future. According to the statement, the team is working on a new project that requires the full studio's attention, so there are currently no Sly Cooper or InFamous projects in the works at Sucker Punch or at any other studios.

However, Sucker Punch clarified that it isn’t done with these beloved franchises forever and that it would “never say never to re-opening those doors down the road.”

Alongside this announcement, Sucker Punch revealed a few minor updates to InFamous games that will roll out soon. According to the statement, the studio will relocate the InFamous 2 UGC servers to prolong their lifespan, though they “will eventually need to sunset these.”

Additionally, the studio will add the Cole’s Legacy DLC for InFamous Second Son to the PlayStation Store.

“Thank you to everyone for an incredible 24+ years of support,” the statement finishes. “Your love and appreciation are what fuel us to keep making new games and new worlds, and we look forward to continuing to bring new and exciting ideas to life for many years to come. We’re not ready to talk about whatever might be next, but we hope you’ll keep following us whenever we’re ready to share more.”

Sucker Punch's newest title is Ghost of Tsushima, an open-world game set in medieval Japan during the Mongol invasion. Ghost of Tsushima was received with an incredibly positive reception, and the studio looks to continue the franchise in some capacity. A recent job listings on its website hinted the studio's next game will be another open-world action stealth game.

The animate sloppy joe, Xûr, is now live in Destiny 2 for the weekend until next week's reset. If you're looking to get your some shiny new Exotic armor or weapons for your Guardian, look no further.

Each week, Xûr has a random assortment of Exotic armor, one for each Guardian class, as well as a random Exotic Weapon and an Exotic Engram available for purchase. In addition to his Exotic wares, he's got a random collection of Legendary weapons and armor to deck out your Guardians.

We've rounded up all the info on Xûr for the week including where to find Xûr, which Exotic weapons and armor are available, as well as which Legendary weapons you should pick up, either for PvE or PvP.

Where Is Xûr This Weekend?

Xûr's location today can be found at Watcher's Grave on Nessus on July 1 through July 5. To reach him, travel to the landing point at Watcher's Grave. When you arrive, make for the red moss-covered tree straight ahead. Climb up the roots and you'll find Xûr waiting at the top to sell you exotic items and legendary weapons.

What Is Xûr Selling This Weekend?

Exotic Engram

Lord of Wolves - Exotic Shotgun

Celestial Nighthawk - Exotic Hunter Helmet

• 3 Mobility
• 27 Resilience
• 2 Recovery
• 16 Discipline
• 16 Intellect
• 2 Strength
• Total: 66

An Insurmountable Skullfort - Exotic Titan Helmet

• 8 Mobility
• 17 Resilience

• Total: 66

Crown of Tempests- Exotic Warlock Helmet

• 7 Mobility
• 9 Resilience
• 13 Recovery
• 16 Discipline
• 13 Intellect
• 2 Strength
• Total: 60

It's helmet day, Guardians! If you're a Titan or a Hunter you've got some great, high-stat headpieces to adorn the hideously ugly character you thought would be funny to create 7 years ago and have regretted ever since. If you are a Hunter, this roll of Celestial Nighthawk is incredible and that exotic in general has almost always played a major roll in the game's meta -- buy it immediately. Titans should also consider grabbing the Insurmountable Skullfort, although the roll isn't as good and that exotic in general isn't my favorite.

Exotic Weapons

Hawkmoon - Exotic Hand Cannon

• Paracausal Shot
• Polygonal Rifling
• Alloy Magazine
• Opening Shot
• Polymer Grip

Dead Man's Tale - Exotic Scout Rifle

• Cranial Spike
• Small Bore
• High-Caliber Rounds
• Snapshot Sights
• Hand-Laid Stock

The roll for Hawkmoon is pretty great this week if you're like me and love Opening Shot as a perk for this weapon! Dead Man's Tale...not so much -- skip it!

Legendary Weapons

Seventh Seraph CQC-12 - Shotgun

• Smallbore/Corkscrew Rifling
• Assault Mag/Steady Rounds
• Quickdraw
• Shield Disorient
• Reload Speed Masterwork

Enigma's Draw - Sidearm

• Shortspec SAS/Tactic SAS
• Extended Mag/Ricochet Rounds
• Zen Moment
• Demolitionist
• Handling Masterwork

Cold Denial - Pulse Rifle

• Extended Barrel/Full Bore
• Armor-Piercing Rounds/Ricochet Rounds
• Killing Wind
• Multikill Clip
• Accuracy Masterwork

Falling Guillotine - Sword

• Hungry Edge/Enduring Blade/Tempered Edge
• Balanced Guard/Enduring Guard
• Relentless Strikes
• Whirlwind Blade
• Impact Masterwork

Deafening Whisper - Grenade Launcher

• Confined Launch/Countermass
• High-Velocity Rounds/Implosion Rounds
• Auto-Loading Holster
• Ambitious Assassin
• Blast Radius Masterwork

The Third Axiom - Pulse Rifle

• Corkscrew Rifling/Smallbore
• Ricochet Rounds/Light Mag
• Slideshot
• Sympathetic Arsenal
• Handling Masterwork

Farewell - Sidearm

• Arrowhead Brake/Corkscrew Rifling
• Tactical Mag/Steady Rounds
• Heating Up
• Thresh
• Handling Masterwork

My picks this week include the damage-centric roll on Falling Guillotine, a fantastic weapon that every Guardian should have in their back pocket, and Cold Denial, which has a pretty decent roll for a PvE pulse rifle. Deafening Whisper comes close, with some great grenade launcher perks, but without blinding grenades it falls short of my reccomendation.

Warlock Legendary Armor

Braytech Researcher's Bond

A few good pieces of armor for Warlocks this week, but none more than those glorious boots, which have sky-high recovery and huge stat totals. Buy that immediately! The helmet and chest piece are also quite good rolls, though less universally so. If they fit a build you like then pick 'em up!

Titan Legendary Armor

For Titans, Xûr is selling the Braytech set which includes:

Braytech Gauntlets

Braytech Cloak

Hunters only got one good roll this week in their chest armor with high stats and some decent point allocations. Aside from that though, it's a fairly underwhelming week for our caped crusaders, at least so far as legendary armor is concerned. Buy that exotic helmet from earlier, though!

That's a wrap on Xûr for this week, Guardians! Hope you're all enjoying your adventures in the Season of the Haunted.

What did you think of Caiatl's dramatic conclusion this week? Let us know in the comments below!

Minecraft YouTuber Technoblade has died following a battle with stage four cancer. The 23 year old, whose name is Alex, had more than 10.8 million followers on his channel.

A touching farewell video was uploaded in which Technoblade's father read a farewell message from the YouTuber, which thanked fans for their continued support over the nine years he created content.

"If I had another hundred lives, I think I would choose to be Technoblade again every single time as those were the happiest years of my life," his message read. "I hope you guys enjoyed my content and that I made some of you laugh, and I hope you all go on to live long, prosperous, and happy lives, because I love you guys. Technoblade out."

Known for being quite private, Technoblade only revealed his real name in the farewell message, but shared last year that he had been diagnosed with cancer in his right arm. His father explained in the video that Technoblade passed away just a few hours after writing the message.

His mother also shared a written message at the end of the video. "[Technoblade] avoided personal fame and worked hard to keep his true identity confidential, and we ask you to continue to honour his wishes to protect his privacy and the privacy of his family," it said.

"My son's bravery on this path was a shining lesson to all of us who were privileged to walk it with him. Thank you for sharing his journey through it all, as he did the work he loved for his beloved fans."

The original Buzz Lightyear has some thoughts about Disney’s Lightyear…

During an interview with Extra (via Deadline) the 69-year-old Toy Story star says he wishes the sci-fi family flick had better connections to his version of Buzz.

“It’s a wonderful story,” he said. “It just doesn’t seem to have any connection to the toy, and it’s a little… I don’t know. It just has no relationship to Buzz. It’s just no connection. I wish there was a better connection.”

Lightyear tells the story of Buzz Lightyear – no, not that one.

It’s essentially the movie that Andy saw in the original animated film, with his Buzz Lightyear action figure based on the Buzz we see in Lightyear. It’s a little convoluted, but basically, it’s the movie from within the movie.

So, you can see why Tim Allen might be a bit confused about its connection to Toy Story.

And while the new movie has proved to be a controversial take on the classic Toy Story hero, it’s for this reason that Tim Allen hasn’t chosen to wade in on the debate.

“The short answer is I’ve stayed out of this ’cause it has nothing to do [with my Buzz Lightyear],” he said.

It looks as though Disney has faced an uphill battle to convince audiences, too, with the film debuting to a meager $51 million at the domestic box office.

“I think it's funny to hear people ask things like 'how is this compared to Toy Story?' because when you see the movie, you realize it's its own thing," said director Angus MacLane. “I think it would be even harder if it were the Toy Story Buzz going off into this movie, you know? Then you'd be like 'where's Woody?!' Because that's what makes [Toy Story Buzz] work. I could see a different version of this movie that's maybe a bit closer to the Buzz Lightyear: Star Command TV show. But I think that works much better for a shorter format.”

Still, the film does have some fans. Exploring the origins of the legendary space ranger Buzz Lightyear, the movie is kept afloat by "strong performances and attractive visuals” according to IGN's review of Lightyear, “but the story isn't the quality you'd expect from Pixar.”

Nintendo appreciates its passionate and patient fan base, but says it's difficult to make (and remake) all the games it's asked for.

At the company's annual general meeting (independently translated by IGN), Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked if there were any plans to release remakes or new entries in long-dormant franchises such as F-Zero.

"In truth, it is difficult to fulfil all the requests we receive for new titles, remakes, or sequels in Nintendo series," he said. "That said, we are grateful to our fans and their patience in these matters."

Another Nintendo executive, Shinya Takahashi, also weighed in, saying that making fun games was always the priority, whether that comes through a remake, sequel, fresh franchise, or whatever else.

"We always take a broad perspective, looking at ways to make new and remake titles enjoyable for as many people as possible," he said. "Previously, at the 79th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (held in 2019), we were asked if we had any plans to remake the “NES Detective Club” series, and it so happened that we were planning a remake in that series.

"We cannot comment on plans regarding remakes of specific titles, but we are always considering various possibilities in our development efforts so that our customers can enjoy our games."

Remakes of Nintendo games aren't uncommon, of course, with Pokémon perhaps headlining its efforts in that department - most recently with Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. As it stands, however, a bundle of the first two Advance Wars games is the only remake in development that we know of.
