This Star Trek: Discovery Theory About Lorca Is Crazy

Full spoilers follow for Star Trek: Discovery's first nine episodes.

Last night, Star Trek: Discovery streamed its mid-season finale, "Into the Forest I Go" -- AKA the conclusion of Season 1's "Chapter One," according to CBS All Access. And while a ton of stuff happened regarding the Klingon War, Michael Burnham's struggling with the loss of Captain Georgiou, Lt. Tyler's creepy and possibly more-than-meets-the-eye past with L'Rell, and much more, it was perhaps the final moments of the cliffhanging episode which were the most interesting... and the most telling in regards to the mysterious Captain Lorca's true nature.

Overwatch Getting 4K Support for Xbox One X

Blizzard has announced plans to add 4K resolution support to Overwatch on Xbox One X.

"The team is currently exploring how the game experience can be enhanced on this platform to leverage the console's incredible hardware, and is working on implementing 4K resolution in the game on Xbox One X," Blizzard told Windows Central.

Blizzard said it's "very important for the team to make sure the user interface looks natural on a truly big screen," and will provide more details about its plans for 4K support on Xbox One X sometime in the future.

Cuphead ‘Guaranteed’ to Return, Developer Says

Cuphead creators Chad and Jared Moldenhauer have confirmed we haven't seen the last of the iconic protagonist of Studio MDHR's boss-heavy run and gun action game.

"Guaranteed you'll see Cuphead at some point," Jared replied on the latest episode of our monthly interview show IGN Unfiltered when asked if Cuphead was a one-and-done thing.

"But as far as what are our plans, what are we distinctly doing next, there's been zero time to really breathe or think," Jared added before Chad chimed in to note they "would have had two 30-minute chats about the future."

Cuphead was released for Xbox One and PC on September 29 and sold one million copies within its first two weeks. For our thoughts on Studio MDHR's lovingly crafted Microsoft-exclusive action game, read IGN's Cuphead review.
