New Footage Released for HBO’s Watchmen
New, very brief footage from HBO's Watchmen has been revealed in a trailer for the cable network that dropped last night.
In the footage, which consists of just four shots, we see a darkened figure looking into the distance of a red-tinged and smoky sky, another mysterious figure in a hood apparently entering the police headquarters run by those yellow-masked cops we've seen in previous teases, a new look at Jeremy Irons' Ozymandias -- blowing out a candle on an appropriately colored birthday cake -- and a first look at Regina King's character on the show. King, of course, won an Oscar last night for Best Supporting Actress, so it's a nice association to have for this version of Watchmen, which is being produced by King's old The Leftovers boss Damon Lindelof. Reports have indicated that her character on Watchmen is named Angela Abar, but little else is known about her.

Borderlands Developer Was Considered for Halo 4
Borderlands developer Gearbox Software was originally considered to create Halo 4. In this month's episode of IGN Unfiltered, Ryan McCaffrey sat down with Bonnie Ross, head of 343 Industries, and discussed the history (and alternate histories) of the development of Halo 4, among many other topics.
After Halo's original development studio, Bungie, split with Microsoft, there was a discussion at Xbox about what to do with the Halo franchise. While the ending of Halo 3 was ambiguous enough to serve as a finale for the series, Halo also took place in an incredibly well-realized universe, one which was rich enough to serve as the setting for many more games, should Microsoft find the right studio to make them.
Fortnite Season 8 Could Feature Pirates and Snake Monsters
The Fortnite Twitter account has been slowly dropping hints about the game's upcoming Season 8, and it seems the new theme may centre around fantasy piracy.
In what seem to be daily tweets, rhymes and teaser images have pointed squarely to a pirate theme. The first is the clearest, from the theme of treasure to the hook-hand in the image:
'X' Marks The Spot
Treasure abound
Loot that has been lost
Can always be found.
