Creed 2 Will Keep the Legacy of Ivan Drago Alive
In a small Philadelphia suburb on a hot summer's day, IGN was invited to visit the set of Creed II, MGM's upcoming sequel to the 2015 critically-acclaimed movie that introduced the world to Apollo Creed's son, Adonis, played by Black Panther's Michael B. Jordan.
Some spoilers follow for what we saw being filmed for Creed II!
One of the scenes we observed took place at what was supposed to be the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, but was actually a large interior set, filled with hundreds of extras dressed in formal attire as they booed and cheered Adonis' entrance to the ring. We also learned that the scene is a prelude to a fight that takes place in the first half of the film, however, we were not privy to who Adonis' opponent would be.

Shadow of the Colossus Creator’s Next Game Is In Development
Fumito Ueda, creator of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian, has begun work on a brand new game.
Speaking to Famitsu (as translated by Gematsu), Ueda explained that the game is "a completely new title, not a sequel,” and that it's in the prototyping stage.
“We’re in a stage of various trials", Ueda explained, adding that his team at genDESIGN is "actually making our ideas to test if they’re interesting or not."
Ueda also mentions that the game is currently being backed by game design fund Kowloon Nights, and mentions that "what we’re making now doesn’t feel like an indie game." That seems to point to the fact that Ueda's longstanding partnership with Sony hasn't carried over to the latest game, at least in its early stages.

In Forza Horizon 4, Video Game Britain Has Never Looked Better
After three stupendous Forza Horizon games, each better than the last, it becomes difficult to come up with new superlatives to describe Forza Motorsport’s open-world, more social-friendly spinoff (that, by the way, is even better than Motorsport). So here we are, with a Britain-based Forza Horizon 4, and after playing the first two hours of the campaign – experiencing the Summer and Autumn seasons in the process – I’m left with one simple word: “yes.”
Is Forza Horizon 4 Beautiful? Yes.
Polygonal Great Britain has never looked better, with real-life landmarks you can stop and take a look at by driving up to them and pressing X. So too are the seasons themselves stunningly rendered, from the high overhead bright sunshine of the summer to the red and orange leaves that settle on the roadways and blow away from the car when you drive through clusters of them.

In all, four bible verses have been referenced, and now it’s time to dig into those passages and their accompanied posts to figure out what might be in store for Season 3 of Daredevil.
Note: all passages will be cited from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website, as the Netflix incarnation of Matt Murdock is notably Catholic.

Warning: this article contains full spoilers for Marvel's Spider-Man!
Marvel's Spider-Man for Playstation 4 draws from decades of classic Spider-Man stories in order to craft its take on Peter Parker and his world.

Here are the biggest ways in which the game changed what we know about the Spider-Man franchise.

Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition Coming to PS4 and Xbox One This September
Hollow Knight is finally hitting the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 25 in the digital, content-packed Voidheart Edition.
Announced by developer Team Cherry, Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition will include the core game and its four additional content packs: Hidden Dreams, The Grimm Troupe, Lifeblood and Godmaster. It’s unclear if any exclusive content beyond these packs will be coming to the Voidheart Edition.
