Rumors, Clues, and Theories to Know About Cloverfield 3
Beyond the previously released plot description for the next Cloverfield project, which was previously known God Particle, there’s not much available about what the third Cloverfield movie is. Thankfully, the Cloverfield alternate reality game has picked up again, and that means there's a new trail of breadcrumbs to follow, in addition to plenty of rumblings around the film's actual release.
IGN is diving into what has already been teased about the film, its recent production shifts, and just what exactly that may all mean for the film's plot.
Almost everything about this next Cloverfield — and whatever it actually may be called — is supposed at this point, with producer Bad Robot remaining relatively tight-lipped about its development and production. (This is no surprise given Bad Robot announced 10 Cloverfield Lane two months before its release.)

Capcom Reports Over 300% Increase in Profit
Things are looking up Capcom this fiscal year, with the company reporting an operating income of 7 billion yen, or $64.5 million.
Games Industry.biz reports that Capcom's operating income has increased by 328.2 percent, due to "strong" performances of titles like Resident Evil 7 and Monster Hunter XX, while Ultra Street Fighter 2 on the Switch was called a "smash hit." Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite's sales were described as "soft" by comparison, with the game only just reaching one million units sold worldwide.
Monster Hunter: World, which shipped 5 million copies in the three days post-launch, will be included in Capcom's full year report in March, but the series' online and mobile titles - Frontier Z and Explore - have experienced "solid" and "steady" sales.
Journey Creator on Next Game’s Biggest Breakthrough
Sky, the next game from Journey developer thatgamecompany, will charge players in a unique way, which studio co-founder Jenova Chen believes will be "biggest breakthrough" of the upcoming social adventure game.
"I think many people will be surprised how this game makes money," Chen said on the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered. "I think my biggest breakthrough or innovation on this game is about how it actually charges people. This is something you probably have never seen before," he added.
"Once you play the game, you will be interested because it's a game where you pay money for other people, not yourself," he added, but refrained from elaborating any further.

Why You Should Care About The World Ends With You
In the late '00s, Nintendo’s ridiculously-popular DS handheld was a hotbed for creative, quirky games. Many developers were gleefully experimenting with the system’s trademark dual-screens, and it was in the middle of this zeitgeist that Square-Enix took a chance on a unique action-RPG titled The World Ends With You. Developed by Jupiter (and inspired by their previous Square-Enix title, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories), The World Ends With You was released in 2007 to critical acclaim, strong sales, and quickly became one of the DS’s most beloved games.
And yet 10 years later, it still hasn’t received a sequel. Other than a mobile port and a small cameo in Kingdom Hearts, the series has gone dark, and many fans feared Square may have forgotten it completely. That is, until it resurfaced in the most recent Nintendo Direct, where it was announced the game would be getting another shot on the Nintendo Switch. Titled Final Remix, this new version will contain new content and be the first time the game has appeared on the big screen. Fans were elated not only for ourselves, but also because this will likely be the best way for new players to experience the game.
