Mutant Football League, not to be confused with Mutant League Football, is getting a sequel.

IGN can exclusively reveal that Digital Dreams is currently working on a follow-up to its 2017 reimagining of EA's 1993 cult football classic. Mutant Football League 2 will feature more mutants, more game modes, upgraded visuals and online play, custom teams, an improved Dynasty Supreme franchise mode, and new shifts to gameplay such as changing weather during matches and the addition of an eighth player to the field.

Digital Dreams is making Mutant Football League 2 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, and PC. Additionally, Digital Dreams' development team is largely based in Kyiv, Ukraine. Due to the ongoing invasion of Russia, Digital Dreams is unable to pinpoint when Mutant Football League 2 will be able to release.

Digital Dreams is joining a number of other games companies across the industry in fundraising to help the citizens of Ukraine by selling Mutant Football League T-shirts, with all proceeds going to World Central Kitchen. IGN has rounded up a number of other ways to help here.

Overwatch's Doomfist and Orisa are both receiving major reworks in Overwatch 2.

While all 32 original Overwatch characters are returning for the sequel, Blizzard announced two further reworks (joining Bastion and Sombra) in a blog post, revealing that Doomfist has even had a role change.

He'll switch from being a damage hero to a tank, losing his Uppercut ability in the process. Instead, Doomfist is now equipped with Power Block, a shielding ability that protects from frontal attacks, and his health has increased from 250 to 450.

Blocking heavy damage with the shield will power up his Rocket Punch ability, which will travel faster and further and deal increased damage when empowered.

"Power Block feels kind of like Zarya when people shoot into her shields, but instead of passively gaining damage, his next punch will get a buff that lasts until he either uses Rocket Punch or is eliminated," said lead hero designer Geoff Goodman. "When you block a hard-hitting attack, you get powered up instantly. It almost feels like a parry."

His final major change is in his Seismic Slam ability, which now launches Doomfist in a similar way to Winston's leap, and upon hitting will slow enemies and deal damage.

He's received other tweaks too, which can be seen in Blizzard's graphic (above) but overall, "Doomfist has super fluid mobility on all planes right now", Goodman said. "He gained a ton of mobility with Seismic Slam, but he doesn’t have as much jerky, unpredictable movement."

Orisa has also been adapted to work better in the new five-versus-five games, and while Doomfist received new defensive abilities, Orisa's rework focused more on dealing damage.

Her Protective Barrier, Halt, and Supercharger abilities are all gone, and her primary fire now shoots a larger projectile that deals more damage the closer she is to enemies.

"Her gun encourages her to get close to enemies and play more forward in Overwatch 2," said senior hero designer Brandon Brennan, and her increased health and armour contribute to this idea too.

Her secondary fire, a new ability called Energy Javelin, is a skill shot projectile that hits the first enemy in its path, acting as a micro-stun that does more damage when there's a wall behind you.

Orisa's next new ability is the Javelin Spin, which, as the name suggests, has her spin a javelin that destroys incoming projectiles while also pushing back enemies and increasing forward speed.

Brennan said: "Our primary purpose with Javelin Spin is to help Orisa engage and get into the fight. When paired with her other abilities, it can become a lethal combo. You can herd enemies backward and follow up with an Energy Javelin to push them into a wall."

Her new Ultimate is Terra Surge, which fortifies Orisa and pulls in nearby enemies while charging up an AOE attack, providing a perfect opportunity for the team to coordinate a series of strong attacks on the enemy.

"We started her rework by removing Orisa’s barrier and her Halt ability, but we still thought Halt was really cool," said Brennan. "We incorporated the idea of Halt into Orisa’s new ultimate, and this is where the pull comes from."

Blizzard didn't reveal if more reworks are on the way but some players will at least be able to test out these changes in the upcoming closed beta.

The new hero, Sojourn, will also be playable, meaning her massive railgun and focus on maneuverability can be tried out for the first time too.

The PC closed beta arrives on April 26, and though Blizzard has not confirmed a release date for the game's official launch, it has said the PvP and PvE modes will arrive separately.

Mindhunter episode director Andrew Dominik has peeled back the curtain on where Season 3 would have gone if the series had not have been put on "indefinite hold."

Dominik recently gave Collider some insight into what Mindhunter's third season would have been about if it had ever come to fruition. He revealed the plot would have sent the show's FBI profilers to Hollywood where they would have met up with a couple of high-profile filmmakers to share their findings, but sadly the future of the Netflix drama is still in doubt.

"What they were going to do with Season 3 was they were going to go [to] Hollywood," Dominik shared. "So one of them was going to be hooking up with Jonathan Demme and the other one was going to be hooking up with Michael Mann. And it was all going to be about profiling making it into the sort of zeitgeist, the public consciousness."

Dominik admitted that the shelved third season of Mindhunter was the one "everyone was really waiting for to do," as it was going to take a step in a new direction by uprooting the FBI Behavioral Science Unit team from their basement office to transport them to Tinseltown, however, these ambitious storyline plans would inevitably present a financial challenge.

Mindhunter producer and director David Fincher previously explained that the process of making the Netflix series was exhausting and that for the viewership the show had, it was too expensive — probably too expensive for a third season to receive a green light, especially if the next chapter required a bigger budget than the last season.

Between the exhaustion and financial challenge of a possible third season, Fincher seemed to believe that the third season of Mindhunter wasn't on the cards, at least for now. This didn't come as a major surprise either, as cast members Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, and Anna Torv were released from their respective contracts with Netflix at the beginning of 2020.

The much-liked crime drama ended on a cliffhanger in 2019, with several open-ended plot threads left hanging. Though, according to IGN's review of Mindhunter Season 2, it remained "a compelling and impeccably shot crime thriller" that lent "fascinating insight into the minds of infamous serial killers and the men and woman who hunt them for a living."

Moon Knight has become the latest pop-culture character to arrive in Fortnite.

Epic Games announced his inclusion in a blog post detailing the two new skin variations, Back Bling, and pickaxe, available for 2,000 V-Bucks altogether.

The skins come in one single purchase that can be switched back and forward at the player's leisure, choosing between Moon Knight in his full superhero attire or Mr. Knight and his fancy three-piece suit.

Also included with the skin is the Cloak Back Bling, as "Moon Knight is seldom seen without his cape", the blog post said.

His Crescent Darts weapons are also available as a pickaxe but these are a separate purchase. Moon Knight himself costs 1,500 V-Bucks, while the Crescent Darts cost 500. V-Bucks are available in bundles of 1,000 ($7.99 / £6.49) or 2,800 ($19.99 / £15.99).

Fortnite continues to add many characters from every major franchise franchise (and everything in general ever) to its hit Battle Royale game.

Nathan Drake from the Uncharted movie and games was recently added, alongside Dwayne Johnson, Bruno Mars, and outfits from Cobra Kai. It even added virtual attendees of Coachella alongside music from the festival itself.

It all appears to feed into Epic Games' metaverse, with the Coachella collaboration in particular feeding into the idea of bringing "the real world" into a shared online space, especially as the event was announced just days after Sony and LEGO's parent company KIRKBI invested $2 billion into the publisher.

An update for Quake has added new accessibility options and maps 26 years after it was first released.

As revealed on the Steam announcements page, Quake now lets players change its menu style to a plain black and white format instead of just having stylised letters appear over the game.

Other sight-focused features include adjustable screen flash intensity, on-screen message duration times, an increase in the maximum number of messages appearing on the HUD, and adjustable display durations of multiplayer text messages.

The update also brings a chat-to-voice converter to Quake. Players can now turn incoming multiplayer text chat into a synthesized voice, or convert incoming voice chat to text. The opposite is also possible, as messages the player sends can also be converted into a voice, with multiple styles available.

Outside of the new accessibility options, three horde maps have been added to Quake alongside several balance adjustments to the mode, including improvements to bot AI.

The PC classic, still making headlines despite being more than a quarter of a century old, will naturally be a core feature of QuakeCon. Organisers announced last week that the yearly celebration of id Software games like Quake and Doom would be a digital event again this year.

While it's mostly a chance for fans to meet and greet, last year's event also revealed new information about Deathloop, Fallout 76, and Elder Scrolls Online, while The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition was also announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.

Spy comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service almost got all six James Bond actors together for a trailer that would see them pass the baton to the new spy series.

During an interview with The James Bond A-Z Podcast, creator Mark Millar revealed that Kingsman almost had a teaser trailer featuring all six 007s, and it only fell apart due to the very first.

“Matthew Vaughan who directed Kingsman had this really cool idea, when Sean Connery was still alive, and Roger Moore was still alive,” he said. “His idea was to do a promotional teaser for Kingsman where you had all the previous Bonds together, all having a toast around the table. [They’d be] talking about a new generation of spies. They had this really cool little idea.”

It’s clearly the kind of concept you only ever dream of pulling together, but Millar revealed that they were actually a lot closer to making this teaser than they ever thought possible.

“We actually had a link to everybody,” he said. “We had like Roger Moore, who was good friends with someone Matthew knew, I can’t remember who it was. Colin Firth was friendly with [Pierce Brosnan], and Matthew knew Daniel Craig for Layer Cake, and somebody knew [George] Lazenby. We kinda had all of them. And I think we had a slightly provisional ‘yes’, according to Matthew, I don’t know if this is true, but we had a provisional ‘yes’ from everyone and we were trying to get Connery, and [Matthew] tried to get me to get Connery, because I was Scottish!”

As it turns out, Millar and Connery did have a mutual friend…

“Although I didn’t know him, I called up my mutual friend and he phoned ahead, but Connery was quite ill by that point, and we were told ‘this just can’t happen’. And I said, ‘why don’t we just do what they did in the 1960s and just get Neil Connery, his brother, and just use him if we can?’”

Unfortunately, Neil died just seven months after Sean Connery.

“But it would have been so cool,” said Millar. “That would have been great to see those guys actually standing together in real life.”

Much like the recent real-life Spider-Man meme, this would have been a real moment for the fans, and Millar doesn't think it would have been too much work to bring together.

“You could have shot it in an hour,” he explained. “You could have had them standing around a table, and the idea was that you have this Kingsman whiskey that they toast, and then the camera pans round and you see Colin [Firth] or Taron [Egerton], I can’t remember who it was going to be, and it was just the next generation of super spies.

"And it would have really annoyed [Bond producers] the Broccolis!”

It certainly would have been an incredible tease for Kingsman. Of course, not bringing the teaser together hasn't hurt the series, and the Kingsman franchise could be getting even bigger with several films being planned by Matthew Vaughan.

Disney World could potentially become a little less magical if Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has anything to say about it.

This Wednesday, the Florida Senate passed a bill that would abolish the taxing district that gives Disney special privileges of self-government in its theme park. Disney has held this right for over 55 years.

Florida’s Republican-led House is likely going to approve the measure and then it would move to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s desk, where he has openly supported the bill.

If passed, the bill would remove their special classification on June 1 of next year. Disney has been self-governed since 1967 and is able to collect taxes, adopt ordinances, and provide emergency services. If the bill passes, they’ll lose these current rights.

The attack on Disney comes in the wake of the magical giant’s opposition to Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation. This controversial law prevents teachers from incorporating anything related to sexuality and gender in kindergarten through third-grade classrooms.

Disney’s criticism of the new law occurred when the company vocally opposed Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Law. The company was silent upon its first introduction, but after pushback from employees, leadership in Disney came out against the law.

If its special status is stripped away, Orange and Osceola counties will likely acquire oversight of the 25,000 acres of land Disney currently controls.

Imagine, if you will, a world in which Nicolas Cage had played Aragorn or Neo. That could very well have been our reality, had the actor not firmly had his priorities in order. He is one of the most recognizable leading men in Hollywood… and the face of some of the most memorable memes on the internet.

But, before all that, Cage is a father and a family man.

"First and foremost... there's no version of Nic Cage in reality that doesn't want to spend time with his children," Cage told People.

"There's no version of Nic Cage that didn't put family first over career. I turned down Lord of the Rings and I turned down Matrix because I didn't want to go to New Zealand for three years or Australia for three years because I needed to be home with my son Weston, that's a fact."

Cage has two sons, Weston, 31, and Kal-El, 16. The actor and his wife Riko Shibata are expecting a baby later this year.

Cage went on to describe his acting ethos, and how he tries to never take himself too seriously.

"I always say to myself, 'I never had a career, only work.' What I mean by that is sometimes — and I won't mention names — but when you get into this career-minded perception of one's self it can be a slippery slope, and it can lead to things where you start believing in your own mythos and you start taking yourself way too seriously," he said.

Cage has a new project, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, debuting in theatres tomorrow, where he will star alongside Tiffany Hadish and Pedro Pascal. Elsewhere, Cage's Reddit AMA recently became a wholesome internet moment, and he also shared the villain he would like to play in a future Batman movie.

The debut trailer of Thor: Love and Thunder was released just a few days ago to the delight of Marvel fans. Not only does it show Thor having an existential crisis, but it also gives us our first glimpse at Natalie Portman as Mighty Thor, wielding Mjolnir. Now, we’ve been given another look at her version of the fabled superhero in a new poster tweeted by the official Marvel account.

In the new poster, Jane raises the signature, magical hammer as she stands on top of a mountain calling lightning from above. She is adorned in her own version of the armor. It isn’t the first time we’ve seen her wearing it, though. It was originally revealed last summer on a t-shirt worn by the crew after filming wrapped. The armor featured in both the poster and trailer looks quite similar to the one we saw last June.

The poster is a direct reference to a similar one that highlights Chris Hemsworth who is also calling forth the power of lightning. His poster features the tagline “The One And Only.” The new poster showcasing Jane as Mighty Thor, however, pokes fun and says “The One Is Not The Only.”

Fans will be able to see Natalie Portman take on the role of Mighty Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder when it releases on July 8, 2022. In the meantime, fans have Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness to look forward to in just a few weeks.
