Watch the Hideo Kojima Chat Live on IGN
IGN is proud to announce that we will be livestreaming Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima's San Diego Comic-Con talk on Saturday, July 23, at 3pm PT/6pm ET/11pm BST/8am AEST (Sunday). The Game Awards creator Geoff Keighley will be hosting the chat with Kojima. What will the conversation be about? Nobody knows just yet, but we'd be surprised if Kojima didn't speak about his buzzed-about E3 trailer for Death Stranding.
Tune in on the IGN homepage or on IGN's YouTube tomorrow and watch. But if you don't see it live, we'll have coverage posted afterwards to catch you up on what you missed.
Here's Kojima's tweet announcing the event:

See Kevin Conroy's Batman and Mark Hamill's Joker, as well as Rachel Kimsey's Wonder Woman, Jason Lewis' Superman and many more in the new video below.
During the convention, DC announced several other additions to the show's cast, including Ken Jeong, Patton Oswalt and Hannibal Buress, who are voicing Toyman, Space Cabby and Mr. Terrific, respectively.

Get Ready for Another Batman/TMNT Crossover
Good news for fans of the recent crossover comics Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War. DC and IDW will be continuing their partnership and debuting new crossovers in late 2016.
First up will be another Batman/TMNT mash-up. This new mini-series won't be a sequel to the first, however. Whereas the original book paired the New 52 Batman characters with the Turtles from IDW's current TMNT comic, this crossover will combine the casts of Batman: The Animated Series and Nickelodeon's CG-animated TMNT cartoon.
‘Xboy’ Handheld Was Considered, Says Former Xbox Exec
During the early days of Xbox, Microsoft considered competing in the portable space with a dedicated gaming handheld of its own, but ultimately scrapped the project.
Former Chief Xbox Officer Robbie Bach recently stopped by the IGN office and discussed the company's early plans for a handheld (often referred to as "Xboy") on the latest episode of IGN Unfiltered (airing next Tuesday), saying that while he doesn't remember it ever getting to the prototype stage, "there were definitely drawings."
Happy Dungeons is a Curious Mix of Charming Loot and Button Mashing
Much like its predecessor Happy Wars, Happy Dungeons' strength lies in its ridiculous closet of accessories and its button mashing fun. It still needs a few tweaks before it makes its full launch later this year, but the Xbox One Game Preview build I got my hands on shows a lot of promise.
Happy Dungeons is the follow up RPG to Happy Wars, one of the Xbox 360’s first free-to-play games, and it has some cute ties to the original. When your character falls off one of the floating islands in Happy Wars, they find themselves in the land of Happy Dungeons. Here, you’ll travel through different dungeons and fight through various enemies for loot.
It’s nice that Happy Dungeons features a split-screen mode, but it also reminded me why playing with three other people on one screen is problematic. As an RPG, every player screen is loaded with teammates health and mana bars, three rows of skills, and other information. Factor in the other players in your game, three minions that follow each player, and friendly NPCs that sometimes join your battle and you’ve gone one incredibly busy screen. I sometimes had a hard time finding enemies when we weren’t up against goblins. Those guys are pretty recognizable, but the bandits were not. Many of these issues do subside if you’ve got the screen to yourself, however.

Next Battleborn DLC Information Revealed
Gearbox has revealed when we can expect the newest Battleborn character, what we can expect during the summer months, and an extension for the "Lootpocalypse."
The 27th Battleborn character will be a snake called Pendles, who was revealed back in May. He'll become available in early access if you have the Season Pass on July 28 at 9am PT, and his official release will be a week later on August 4.

Free Umbrella Corps Demo Comes to PlayStation 4
Capcom has released a new demo for Umbrella Corps on PlayStation 4.
In a blog post on the official site, Capcom announced the demo is available from the PlayStation Store now until 11.59 PT on July 23, 2016.
While there's no cap to how much of the game you can play, after 48 hours of game time you'll be prompted to pay to keep playing.
"The feature-rich demo includes access to online modes and maps set on the streets of Raccoon City, the derelict RPD building, and even the iconic Spencer mansion," states Capcom.
"In Umbrella Corps, players face off in intense, fast-paced 3 vs. 3 online battles in maps inspired by iconic locations from the Resident Evil universe. Zombies, undead canines, and other abominations also wander the battlefield. These idle creatures will leave players alone as long as their Zombie Jammers are intact, but if it takes damage they’ll swarm without mercy."
