November 15 marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of the original Xbox, and Microsoft is planning a big celebration that aims to look back at some of the best moments from that original console, the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and the Xbox Series X/S. While there won't be any new game announcements, there should be plenty for Xbox fans to look forward to.

IGN is carrying the stream and, as usual, this watch guide will provide you with everything you need to know to watch the show, including when it starts, a list of places you can watch it with us, and what you can expect to see.

Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration Start Time

The upcoming Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration will take place on Monday, November 15 at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm GMT. If you are watching from Australia, that translates to Tuesday, November 16 at 4am AEST.

What to Expect at the Upcoming Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration

While Microsoft hasn't revealed exactly what will be featured in the show, it has promised that it will "celebrate some of our favorite moments from the past 20 years of Xbox." As previously mentioned, it won't feature any new game announcements, but Microsoft hasn't ruled out the possibility that we may see more of Halo Infinite, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Fable, or any of the other games currently in development at Xbox Games Studios. It's probably wise to keep expectations in check, but never say never!

The show will have subtitles available in a variety of languages, and the official Xbox YouTube channel will also feature American Sign Language (ASL) and Audio Descriptions (AD) for those who need it. Furthermore, Microsoft warned that those planning to co-stream or create breakdowns in the form of VOD coverage should "not use any audio containing copyrighted music to avoid any action by automated bots, and to also abide by the terms of service for your service provider."

One thing that has been teased, however, is the appearance of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his upcoming film Red Notice at the show. As many may remember, The Rock was on-stage with Bill Gates to help reveal the original Xbox back in 2001.

Speaking of Halo, November 15 also marks the 20th anniversary of Master Chief's first adventure - Halo: Combat Evolved - that led a launch lineup that included Dead or Alive 3, Fusion Frenzy, Project Gotham Racing, Arctic Thunder, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysey, and many more. It is possible these will also be celebrated alongside many of the other biggest Xbox exclusives from over the years.

In addition to the Xbox Anniversary Celebration, Microsoft will also be hosting other events and promotions in honor of this milestone, including Xbox FanFest trivia and giveaways, special 20th Anniversary Xbox Gear, updated membership badges, and more. November 15 will also be the release date of the Halo Infinite Limited Edition Xbox Series X, the Halo Infinite Limited Edition Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 Controller, and the Xbox Wireless Controller - 20th Anniversary Special Edition.

A Daredevil reboot from Marvel appears to still be a distant dream after writer and voice actor David Hayter said he did not in fact confirm a reboot of the popular series.

Hayter took to Twitter today to respond to reports that he had confirmed a Daredevil reboot during MCM London Comic Con, as first reported by Small Screen.

"No, I did not "confirm" a Daredevil reboot," Hayter said. "I mistakenly thought I’d read in the trades that it was happening, and I would love to see it. (And yes, I’d love to write it.)"

He added that he has "no inside information whatsoever."

Since this seems to be trending…

No, I did not “confirm” a Daredevil reboot.

I mistakenly thought I’d read in the trades that it was happening, and I would love to see it. (And yes, I’d love to write it.)

But I have no inside information whatsoever.https://t.co/jfPkQu76kx pic.twitter.com/TJtltS0nuO

— David Hayter (@DavidBHayter) November 11, 2021

The original reports sprang from a comment by Hayter during a Q&A in which he said he would love to adapt elements from Frank Miller's Daredevil run. "They're doing a reboot of Daredevil, and Daredevil was always a very important character to me," Hayter said. "I loved the first way they did it, but there's certain things that I would want to adapt from the Frank Miller run on Daredevil that really meant a lot to me. That's really the one."

Like the rest of us, Hayter evidently heard rumors of a reboot in the wake of the property reverting from Netflix back to Marvel Studios. Daredevil lasted three seasons on the streaming platform before being canceled in 2018.

While fans would certainly love to see the return of Marvel's blind superhero, actor Charlie Cox cautioned them to be careful what they wished for. "You don’t want to taint what you’ve already got," Cox said in a recent interview. “If we never come back, you’ve got these three great seasons — and our third season was our best-reviewed. So, the trajectory was up. I am tremendously proud and grateful for what we have.”

Oh well, we'll always have that hallway fight scene.

For now, Marvel fans will have to make do with Hawkeye, which is launching on Disney+ on November 24. Find out what's new on Disney+ in November right here.

Oh, how things have changed. Fifteen years after gamers raised heck about horse armor in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bethesda is discounting the infamous DLC in Skyrim Anniversary Edition, as first reported by PC Gamer.

The horse armor DLC can be found in Skyrim's Creation Club menu. You should see both versions (steel and elven) pop up in the Featured tab for download. From there, restart your game and head to any stable in the region. Find the NPC who sells you horses and there will be new dialogue to acquire armor for your valiant steed. Choose which version you want, pay the kind stableman 500 Septim, and you've officially pimped out your ride.

It's funny to think that when Bethesda introduced Oblivion players to horse armor DLC, it only cost $2.50 (or 200 Microsoft Points), and many in the gaming community laughed at the notion of paying real money for cosmetic DLC in a single-player game. Nowadays, the term "battle pass" and "content roadmap" are par for the course, and gamers everywhere are paying much, much more than $2.50 for in-game items. According to US Gamer, Bethesda was simply the first third-party publisher to bite on Microsoft's idea to provide microtransactions on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

It wasn't even so much the fact that the DLC existed (Oblivion certainly didn't invent the idea for post-launch content), but the price point that riled people up. Check out old NeoGaf forum posts and you'll see people joking that next we'd get horse armor sponsored by Pepsi. Horse Armor quickly became a running joke in the video gaming community anytime a developer released DLC that seemed less-than-necessary.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 10th Anniversary Edition thankfully comes with much more than horse armor to celebrate the occasion. The re-release includes new questlines, weapons and armor from Morrowind, survival mode, and fishing mechanics. That's on top of all previously released content, Creation Club content, and more. Skyrim Anniversary Edition is out today.

MoviePass, the too-good-to-be-true theater ticket subscription service/venture capital nightmare, may be returning in some form. Business Insider reports that original cofounder Stacy Spikes has purchased the company back.

Spikes was granted ownership over MoviePass on Monday by a Southern District of New York bankruptcy court judge, with the purchase finalized on Wednesday. Spikes reportedly placed an undisclosed bid to the trustee handling the bankruptcy of Helios and Matheson Analytics, the company's previous owner who purchased MoviePass in 2017 as it struggled to stay afloat.

You can watch our video on MoviePass' demise below.

"We are thrilled to have it back and are exploring the possibility of relaunching soon," Spikes told Business Insider. "Our pursuit to reclaim the brand was encouraged by the continued interest from the moviegoing community. We believe, if done properly, theatrical subscription can play an instrumental role in lifting moviegoing attendance to new heights."

MoviePass imploded in incredible fashion back in 2019, thanks in part to a seemingly wildly unstable business model and subsequent (and dramatic) changes to that business model. These included price surging, removing popular movies from the app (I myself was jilted out of seeing Mission Impossible: Fallout at the last minute), even changing users' passwords to lock them out of the app. The pitch was genuinely astounding: Users originally only had to pay $7 a month to watch as many movies in theaters as they liked. When Helios and Matheson acquired MoviePass in 2017, the company launched a subscription tier for $10 a month to see one movie per day. Subscriber count skyrocketed from 20,000 to 100,000 in two days. At its peak, MoviePass boasted more than 3 million subscribers. Spikes, who says he raised concerns about the company's sustainability, was fired from in 2018.

Like all things too good to be true, this proved wildly unrealistic. After months and months of speculation, Helios and Matheson Analytics shut down MoviePass for good in September 2019.

Weirdly, MoviePass began teasing some sort of comeback earlier this year with a new website with the MoviePass name and featuring a mysterious countdown. It's unclear if this is part of Spikes' plan to revitalize the brand.

It's possible Spikes may have reacquired MoviePass for a comparatively modest sum. In the June 2020 bankruptcy auction for Helios and Matheson assets, Business Insider reports no competitive bids were made. The bankruptcy trustee set a minimum bid of $250,000, but Helios and Matheson listed the estimated value of MoviePass between $1 million and $10 million, according to Variety.

Spikes told Business Insider that he acquired MoviePass for less than the $250,000 minimum amount. Customer data and emails were not part of the sale, he added.

Spikes has launched a new website dubbed iwantmoviepass.com where users can submit their email for future notifications about the service.

In the years since MoviePass' demise, theater chains like AMC have started their own filmgoing subscription plans, like AMC Stubs A-List.

Playdate, the handheld crank-based gaming device, has been delayed from late 2021 to early 2022.

In an email sent Thursday, Playdate creator Panic explained that the decision to delay the handheld device due to issues with battery life in the first 5,000 units the company received from Malaysia.

Playdate's intended battery life is advertised as eight hours while active and 14 days while on standby mode. Panic stated that some units weren't reaching that goal, and some others were so drained that the device wouldn't power on at all and couldn't be charged.

The good news? Panic is replacing all of its existing batteries with new ones from a different supplier and says they've already received the new batteries and are plenty satisfied with them.

Panic added that factory production will ramp up to full speed again "in just a few weeks," but that logistics requires "late 2021" pre-orders are now aiming for "early 2022."

The worldwide chip shortage plaguing video game and tech companies everywhere is also playing a role, Panic says. To work around what the company has been told would be a two-year delay on the CPU they need, Panic is revising Playdate's main board so it can be used with a more widely available CPU.

Panic says the new board won't change anything when it comes to playing games, and if you've pre-ordered a unit, your place in line hasn't changed. So if you pre-ordered one of the first 1 to 10,000 and 10,000 to 20,000 units, you'll now receive your Playdate in early 2022. Those in line for 20,000 to 40,000 will receive their Playdates in the second half of 2022, and 40,0000 to 50,000 will be shipped in the "late second half" of 2022. Panic says Playdates past the first 50,000 units will "almost certainly" arrive in 2023.

If you're part of the homebrew game development scene and are looking forward to making games for the Playdate, Panic has a couple of estimated release dates for the Playdate Software Development Kit and the web browser-based tool Pulp. Pulp's public beta will arrive in January 2022, and the Playdate SDK will arrive in February 2022. You can read Panic's full blog for more details.

It's been a nightmare for many companies dealing with supply chain issues, especially those looking to launch new hardware. Valve's Steam Deck has been pushed back to February 2022, and Sony has reportedly cut PlayStation 5 production plans down, which will make it even harder to get one in the near future. Even the older Nintendo Switch can't escape, with Nintendo cutting Switch sales forecasts by 6% for the year, Reuters reports.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR MARVEL'S ETERNALS AND MORE MCU CONTENT BELOW

The end credits scene in Marvel's Eternals gave one particular actor some real anxiety over the future of their role in the MCU. Fair warning, below you'll find some major spoilers for both the end credit scene of Eternals and at least one other significant character in the MCU.

The end credits scene in Eternals shows Kit Harington (you know, Jon Snow from Game of Thrones) as a seemingly human version of Dane Whitman AKA Black Knight interacting with an enchanted sword. Before he can touch it, a voice heard from offscreen interrupts Harington.

According to director Chloé Zhao, that voice does indeed belong to the daywalker vampire Blade, played by Mahershala Ali. This makes it Blade and Ali's first "appearance" in the MCU, if you don't count his role as Cottonmouth in Netflix's Luke Cage series. And Ali felt quite anxious about the whole process of establishing the revitalized character from a soundbooth.

“It was really cool, getting to do that,” Ali told Empire. “It was scary. Because, you know, you're talking before you're filming it. I'm pretty particular about my choices, like most actors, and so having to make some choices – even with a line, vocally – this early on, it brought up some very real anxieties. And it made the job real. It's like, ‘Okay, this is happening now’, you know, and that's exciting.”

Despite the anxiety that comes with playing the second version of the character that helped kick off a new era of modern, darker superhero films.

“That Marvel world is obviously the biggest in film, and just to get my little introduction to that – starting with the Comic Con a couple years ago, and now the very early stages of stepping into the shoes of that character – it felt special and really cool,” Ali said. “I’m excited to get going and do more.”

Ali closed out his reflections on Blade by acknowledging that he has yet to don any of the character's iconic clothes, including the leather coat or sunglasses, but that "we're getting there. We're getting close."

The end of Eternals goes way beyond one vampire, though. If you're looking for more spoiler-filled breakdowns of the MCU's future, we've got you covered. Here's one Eternals writer explaining what a Galactus appearance could mean for the MCU, a thorough breakdown of Kit Harington's Black Knight, plus a teaser that may spell the return of Thanos.

Earlier this week, Jason Citron, the CEO of Discord, shared an image that appeared to tease that the app would introduce cryptocurrency integration to its popular online chat service. However, Citron has now announced that the company will not be implementing the controversial feature.

Citron thanked those who responded to the original tweet on Wednesday night and to those who shared their perspectives. Citron says that the company has "no current plans to ship this internal concept," noting that the company is going to protect users from spam, scams, and fraud, promising that more details will be shared soon.

"Web3 has lots of good but also lots of problems we need to work through at our scale," Citron tweeted.

Thanks for all the perspectives everyone. We have no current plans to ship this internal concept. For now we're focused on protecting users from spam, scams and fraud. Web3 has lots of good but also lots of problems we need to work through at our scale. More soon.

— Jason Citron (@jasoncitron) November 11, 2021

Based on the final sentence, which refers to "Web3," it appears the company has not completely ruled out implementing cryptocurrency or NFTs in the app. For those wondering, "Web3" refers to an iteration of the internet that is crypto-based.

Of course, this is not the first time Discord has tried to gauge interest with users on its thoughts on this subject. Before Citron teased a crypto wallet coming to Discord, an image went viral on Twitter where a user screenshotted a now-expired Discord survey that focused on NFTs and Web3.

In recent weeks Blockchain and NFTs have become a hot topic in the gaming industry; major gaming publishers EA, Epic Games, Square Enix, and Ubisoft have either expressed interest, support, or confirmed it was planning to develop Blockchain games and NFTs.

In contrast, this October Valve implemented a new rule that bans Blockchain games that issue NFTs or cryptocurrency from its digital game distribution platform Steam.

You can now put Twitch on your Nintendo Switch. The streaming app is now available for download on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

I've checked out Twitch on my Switch (I'll never get tired of that rhyme), and it performs pretty admirably, all things considered. The app can only be used to view streams on Twitch and not stream directly from the Switch itself.

The home menu will feel familiar to anyone used to navigating through Twitch's recommendations or your subscriptions, but it doesn't look like you can type into a streamer's chat directly from the Switch. Instead, you'll need to scan a QR code, which opens up a streamer's chat as a webpage on your phone, which seems more manageable than using the Switch's digital keyboard.

Twitch joins the lineup of other streaming apps that eventually arrived on the Switch, including Hulu, YouTube, and Funimation. Heck, there's even Pokemon TV, but still no Netflix.

Don't forget to check out IGN's guide to Nintendo Black Friday deals so you can stay on top of the best Nintendo holiday gaming bargains. Just don't expect to get your hands on the new Switch N64 controllers until next year.

Details have seemingly been leaked about two new Xbox exclusives from Compulsion Games (We Happy Few) and Obsidian Entertainment (The Outer Worlds), the former of which is described as a single-player "southern gothic adventure."

According to Windows Central, Compulsion's first game with Microsoft is codenamed Midnight. It is reportedly a third-person game set in a dark and fantastical world. The protagonist, seen below in the middle section of the concept art, is a dark-skinned woman with braided hair. The picture on the right shows a harpy creature going through various stages of transformation. The picture on the left looks like it could be a harpy nest.

Midnight apparently draws its inspirations from America's deep south and is a "coming of age" story. It is also a solely single-player game. It apparently won't be ready for an official reveal or launch until the next few years, however. Last month, the We Happy Few developer mentioned that it was working on a new third-person, story-driven title and Midnight certainly seems to fit the bill.

The second game comes from Obsidian Entertainment, codenamed Pentiment. A 12-person team is developing this game and is led by Josh Sawyer, who previously worked on Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity. GamesBeat's Jeff Grubb said that Pentiment draws inspiration from games like Disco Elysium and will be a narrative RPG rather than a combat-focused one.

The game is reportedly a murder mystery set in the 16th Century in which players will be able to investigate and accuse other characters in the game. However, these accusations have consequences; if you're wrong, then a snowball effect occurs. The game will slowly unfold into a full-blown conspiracy. The team is also reportedly experimenting with several different gameplay mechanics, but some might not make it into the final product. Grubbsays Pentiment is aiming for a 2022 launch.

If correct, it means Obsidian is very busy right now – the studio is also working on Avowed and The Outer Worlds 2.
