30 years after DC Comics made headlines by killing off Superman, they're poised to do it again. And this time they're taking out the entire Justice League for good measure.

As revealed by Entertainment Weekly, the current Justice League series will end with April's Justice League #75, which is written by Joshua Williamson and drawn by Rafa Sandoval There won't be an immediate replacement on the way, however, because most of the team will be killed in that story battling a team called the Dark Army. That finale is intended to serve as the foundation for an ongoing storyline that sees the DCU come to terms with the loss of so many beloved heroes.

This new storyline is intentionally designed to echo the infamous "Death of Superman" crossover from 1992, which culminated with the Man of Steel losing his life in a battle with Doomsday in Superman #75. Though Superman did eventually return to life, it was only after a prolonged absence and the rise of four temporary replacements in the follow-up crossover "Reign of the Supermen."

"I remember the experience of reading the build-up to 'The Death of Superman' and then waiting in the rain for my copy of issue #75." Williamson told EW. "I think one reason that story was so powerful was that after the 'Funeral for a Friend' story, there were no Superman comics for three months. That's part of what led us to make the decision that this is the last issue of Justice League. But then three months later, there's still not gonna be a Justice League comic. It's gonna be a while, and that's gonna be a major part of what the DCU looks like after this story: There is no Justice League."

Though Justice League #75 marks Williamson's first and, apparently, only issue of the series (current writer Brian Michael Bendis is leaving with March's Justice League #74), he confirmed this twist is part of a larger storyline that began in 2021's Infinite Frontier #0 and will continue to play out in many corners of the DCU going forward. Williamson is also currently writing the monthly Batman and Robin titles and co-writing Justice League Incarnate.

"Ever since Infinite Frontier #0, we've been building to this story," Williamson said. "Last year was a lot of fun and games, but when this story starts, it's the beginning of the third act. We're going to see things get darkest before the dawn. The Justice League gets called in to fight this Dark Army that's been building on the edge of the multiverse. They go up against this Dark Army and they lose."

Of the current Justice League roster - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern John Stewart, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Zatanna - only one member will survive their battle with the Dark Army and bring news of this tragedy to Earth. Presumably, this will force a younger generation of heroes like Jon Kent, Yara Flor, Jace Fox and Naomi McDuffie to step up and fill the void left by their mentors. This would also seem to suggest a number of other ongoing DC books will either be canceled or revamped to feature new lead characters.

Robert Pattinson is reportedly teaming up with Bong Joon Ho for the Parasite director's next film, which Deadline reports will be based on an upcoming sci-fi novel titled Mickey7, with Bong set to write, direct, and produce the new adaptation.

Pattinson appears set to play Mickey7, an expendable colonist who is sent on suicidal missions that no one else will take. If Mickey7 dies, then a clone is generated with most of his memories intact. It sounds a bit like Hardspace: Shipbreaker, a unique physics sim with a similarly expendable blue-collar starship salvager that is currently in Early Access.

Mickey7 hasn't yet been published, but it's expected to early this year. As Deadline points out in its report, Bong Joon Ho's adaptation may well be a very different take on the novel's story.

Bong Joon Ho found international success with Parasite, a story of a poor Korean family who manage to work their way into the employ of a rich household, with horrifying results. In our review, we described Parasite as a "film that sneaks up on you," opening as a dark screwball comedy and graddually becoming a tragedy.

Parasite swept the Oscars in early 2020, and Bong has been weighing his next project ever since. Bong has previously worked on movies such as The Host, a film in which a fictional monster wreaks havoc on the people of Seoul.

As for Pattinson, he will soon star in The Batman, which is ramping up for a Spring release. It will be out on March 4.

In the aftermath of Microsoft's bombshell acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the gaming industry is still trying to assess the impact the move will have on the rest of the market. One of the biggest debates is if Xbox will make Activision Blizzard games like Call of Duty, Diablo, and Overwatch console exclusive. We asked you, the IGN audience, that very question, and the results came back practically split down the middle.

The poll closed with more than 55,000 total votes, and here are the results:

• Almost 41% said Xbox should make Activision Blizzard games console exclusive and add them to Game Pass.
• Nearly 38% of the votes said Activision Blizzard games should be playable in as many places as possible.
• 21% of you said you don't care either way where these games end up.

A handful of household names will now fall under the Xbox umbrella. In addition to massive, multi-billion dollar franchises like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft, Xbox will also have control of recognizable characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon, as well as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Guitar Hero, and more.

The exclusivity debate is just one aspect to think about after yesterday's huge news. There's the uncertain future of Activision CEO Bobby Kotick, who has been at the center of multiple scandals over the last year. We'll have to wait and see how leadership changes at the company when Xbox officially takes over, which could happen as late as June 2023.

And, there's the potential impact on PlayStation, as Sony stock reportedly took a huge hit after Xbox's announcement. For more, check out the game industry's biggest reactions to the Xbox Activision news, and how this acquisition represents the shift from a traditional console war to a new type of content war.

Switch players will have to wait just a little bit longer to get their hands on Dying Light 2, as Techland has announced the Switch cloud version will not launch alongside the other versions on February 4. Instead, the developer is aiming to release the Switch version "within six months" of the original date, meaning it should be out by early August.

The studio delayed the game to provide Switch players, "with the gaming experience at the level they deserve." Dying Light 2 is still scheduled for February 4 on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Dying Light 2 is the sequel to 2015's Dying Light, an open world zombie game with a dynamic day-night cycle. No matter what platform you plan to play on, Dying Light 2 is set to be a big experience. In addition to taking 500 hours to complete absolutely every ounce of content the game has to offer, Dying Light 2 will also receive five years of post-launch support. We've gone hands-on with Dying Light 2, where we thought it felt like, "the natural next step for the franchise."

Techland's sequel has endured numerous delays. The game was originally supposed to launch in Spring 2020, before the studio delayed it indefinitely. Then, the game was slated for December of last year, before getting pushed just a few months back to February.

Dying Light 2 is one of many multiplatform games that Switch players can only access through cloud streaming. Others include Hitman 3, Control, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Kingdom Hearts.

TSMC is reportedly increasing the prices for its silicon, which means that CPU and GPU prices are likely to go up this year.

As reported by DigiTimes, the Taiwanese-based semiconductor manufacturer has informed its largest customers, including tech giants such as Apple, AMD, and Nvidia, that it plans to raise pricing quotes of its nodes by up to 20%.

This increase in manufacturing will also impact the consumers as companies may increase the price of their products.

Outside of an ongoing chip shortage, which is expected to drag well into next year, TSMC has also noted other reasons for increasing the prices of its chips. This includes material costs, freight, and logistics. As Tom's Hardware points out the price hike will significantly impact AMD as the company uses TSMC to manufacture its CPUs and GPUs.

AMD CPUs start with processors that use the Zen 2 architecture and its forthcoming Zen 4 architecture, which is slated to arrive in a new line of desktop CPUs sometime this year.

Despite the report omitting any references to graphics cards, Nvidia and especially AMD will likely increase MSRPs for its graphics cards. Though DigiTimes reported that Nvidia has already made prepayments to TSMC for long-term orders of the 5nm silicon.

The news comes at an interesting time in particular for the GPU market as both AMD and Nvidia have announced new desktop graphics cards this month, including the RTX 3090 Ti, which was announced at CES 2022. While Nvidia promised to share more information in February, reports suggest the release date for the upcoming Nvidia RTX 30 flagship might have been pushed back.

One-man development studio Drop of Pixel and publisher Skystone Games have announced Underworld Dreams: The False King, a new first-person horror game that is "built from the ground up" for Nintendo Switch (though it will also be released on PC via both Steam and the Epic Games Store). It is due out this Spring.

Underworld Dreams is based on the work of Lovecraft and set in the 1980s (as the trailer below will give you a clear indication of from its VHS-style presentation), and its goal is to be the first in an Underworld Dreams series of games. In The False King, you play a man who has located his lost brother in a house that is creepier and more dangerous than you could've ever imagined.

Publisher Skystone says you'll "dig into the mysteries of the occult and solve puzzles while constantly looking over your shoulder" as you play. Resources are also promised to be scarce, and a playable demo is promised closer to release.
