The Walking Dead: New Season 7 Photos
The Walking Dead is back next month for Season 7 and IGN has the debut of new character photos for the show.
Check out the new photos of Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Aaron (Ross Marquand) in our Walking Dead gallery below. For Season 7, The Walking Dead characters each have a new black and white image and then another one lit in stark red - the latter color choice likely a nod to the "Who did Negan kill?" question looming over so many of the characters, following Season 6's cliffhanger.
We'll find out the answer to that Negan question when The Walking Dead: Season 7 premieres Sunday, October 23rd on AMC.
For more on Season 7, check out our interviews with the cast, including Reedus and Marquand, in the following playlist.
Rocket League Heads Underwater With Next Update
Rocket League’s next free update, Aquadome, is coming in October.
The underwater update includes a free water-themed arena, and will release alongside two premium DLC Battle-cars, Proteus and Triton, both of which cost $1.99 a pop.
In the meantime, September’s Rocket League DLC takes the form of Rumble – a new mode that adds extravagant power-ups into the mix, such as being able to kick an opponent’s car, forcing your opposition to lose control, a grappling hook, a ball puncher (not what you’re thinking), and many more.
Iceland Not in FIFA 17 Due to Low Offer by EA
Iceland won't be in this year's version of FIFA, because EA didn't offer its football association enough money.
According to the BBC, Iceland's FA (KSI) said EA's offer of $15,000 was "below their expectations."
Iceland's exclusion will come as a surprise to many, especially following their strong run at this year's Euro 2016 tournament in which they knocked out England. Iceland has never appeared in the game before.
"They are the ones buying these rights and they almost want it for free," said KSI president Geir Thorsteinsson to the BBC. "The performance at the Euros show that we are quite a good team and many would like to play with our team. It's sad for the players - but the criticism should be towards EA Sports."

Assassin’s Creed Movie: Past Scenes Will Be in Spanish
The new Assassin's Creed movie will mostly be set in the 21st century, however when it does go back to the 15th, the dialogue will be in Spanish.
This news comes via an interview with director Justin Kurzel in the new issue of Total Film (via GamesRadar).
“I just love the fact
New Regency embraced it,”said Justin Kurzel. “We did play around with English as well, but it was really obvious what you wanted as soon as you went back and started speaking beautiful Spanish. It really adds an exoticness and richness to the film.”
Ubisoft explained the reasoning behind having so few scenes in the past back at E3 this year. The company also believes it won't make much money from the film.
