Daniel Craig is about to take his final bow as James Bond when No Time to Die finally hits theaters this October. Afterward, it’s anyone’s guess who the next James Bond will be.

While there has been plenty of speculation and fan casting, nothing is set in stone. But when asked if a woman should play the next Bond, Craig said that would be a disservice to female actors.

“There should simply be better parts for women and actors of color,” Craig tells the RadioTimes when asked about a female Bond. “Why should a woman play James Bond when there should be a part just as good as James Bond, but for a woman?”

This comment echoes the sentiments of longtime James Bond film producer Barbara Broccoli who said in 2020, that “James Bond can be of any color, but he is male,” adding, “I believe we should be creating new characters for women — strong female characters… I’m not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that.”

In this regard, No Time to Die will have a female 00 agent who isn’t James Bond. Lashana Lynch is set to play another agent in the movie alongside Craig and you can see Lynch in several of the film’s trailers.

After multiple delays, No Time to Die will finally arrive in theaters in the US on October 8. Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, No Time to Die will see several returning characters plus newcomers Lynch and a villain played by Rami Malek.

Netflix and Riot Games have revealed eight posters for the upcoming animated series Arcane. The posters feature some of the League of Legends heroes and Netflix separately revealed who will voice them.

So far the marketing materials for Arcane have focused heavily on Jinx. But the new posters have revealed some of the other cast members who will appear in the series. Check the gallery below for all eight characters posters revealed today.

As for voice talent, Netflix and Riot have enlisted some famous friends to help bring the Rift to life. Here’s who will voice who in Arcane.

• VI voiced by Hailee Steinfeld
• Jinx voiced by Ella Purnell
• Jayce voiced by Kevin Alejandro
• Caitlyn voiced by Katie Leung
• Silco voiced by Jason Spisak
• Mel voiced by Toks Olagundoye
• Vander voiced by JB Blanc
• Viktor voiced by Harry Lloyd

Arcane is set to focus on the world of Piltover and the “oppressed underground of Zaun.” Arcane was originally set to premiere in 2020 but was delayed until 2021 partly due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Funny enough Arcane isn’t Netflix’s first animated adaptation of a popular MOBA as the streamer debuted an animated series based on Dota earlier this year.

We’ll likely get a glimpse of Arcane this weekend at Netflix’s TUDUM event, a global digital event promising a ton of new trailers and reveals.

Alan Wake Remastered could also be heading to the Nintendo Switch after it was rated for the platform by a Brazillian agency.

As reported by the website switch-brasil.com and shared on Resetera, it appears that a Brazillian games agency has filed a rating for Alan Wake Remastered, Remedy’s update to its 2010 mystery-thriller.

International rating boards have leaked several, if not hundreds of games in the past, though you can still take this with a grain of salt. Alan Wake Remastered was previously announced for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Playstation 4, and Xbox Series X|S, so the inclusion of Switch in the Brazillian rating is new.

It’s unclear exactly whether this will be a full release on the Switch or a cloud version of the game. While porting studios have done wonders in the past to natively port games like Doom to the Switch, other major games like Resident Evil 7 were delivered to Switch players via a cloud streaming service.

On other systems, Alan Wake Remastered will offer options to run the game at 60fps and 4K for compatible platforms. The Remaster will also remove the real-life product placement ads in favor of fictional brands from the universe.

Other than that, it will be a true remaster of the original game. Though speaking with Axios, Remedy teased that fans will want to “definitely pay attention by playing the remaster,” for any tweaks that might connect Alan Wake to other Remedy games.

Epic and Remedy have also agreed to partner on a second, unannounced game that some are speculating is a sequel. But we’ll have to wait and see.

Check out IGN’s original Alan Wake review or see why we gave its spiritual successor Control our game of the year win in 2019.

Overwatch Executive Producer Chacko Sonny is leaving Blizzard Entertainment on Friday, according to an Activision spokesman talking to Bloomberg.

A Blizzard spokesman confirmed to Bloomberg that Chacko, who oversees the whole Overwatch franchise and development for the sequel, will leave the company. "[Blizzard] has been an absolute privilege and one of the best experiences of my career," Sonny said in an email to staff, according to Bloomberg.

Blizzard also says that Overwatch 2 is nearing the end of production at the time of Sonny's exit. An update on Overwatch 2 will be provided later this month, and the timeline on it may have shifted considering Overwatch 2 was reportedly still years out from launch.

Activision Blizzard is currently facing a lawsuit from the state of California for sexual harassment and discrimination. It was also recently discovered that the SEC is investigating harassment at Activision and the EEO has been investigating Activision since May 2020.

While Sonny's departure could be unrelated to the investigations, this is far from the first high-level departure at Activision. Blizzard president J. Allen Brack, Blizzard's chief legal officer Claire Hart, and Activision CPO Claudine Naughton have all exited or plan to exit the company in the months following the lawsuit.

Overwatch 2 director Jeff Kaplan also left the company, but that was in April 2021 before California's lawsuit was issued in July.

Activision Blizzard employees recently filed an unfair labor practice lawsuit against the company for harassing employees attempting to speak out against the company's culture.

Disney has announced the Disney+ premiere date for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The latest Marvel film will become available to stream for all Disney+ subscribers beginning on November 12.

Notably, this premiere date places Shang-Chi's streaming debut outside of the 45-day exclusive theatrical window planned for the film. This could mean that Shang-Chi will become available for digital purchase and rental before it is available to Disney+ subscribers.

The streaming premiere of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be part of the new event Disney+ Day, a celebration for the second anniversary of the streaming service.

“The inaugural Disney+ Day will be a grand-scale celebration of our subscribers across the entire company,” said Disney CEO Bob Chapek. “This day of appreciation brings to life our mission to entertain, inform, and inspire fans and families around the globe through the power of unparalleled storytelling, and will become an annual tentpole event to be amplified across our global businesses."

Along with Shang-Chi, November 12 will also mark the Disney+ premiere of Jungle Cruise, the new Home Alone reimagining Home Sweet Home Alone, a Pixar short film featuring characters from Luca, a new Simpsons short celebrating Disney, an MCU-themed special, a Boba Fett-themed special, the first five episodes of Season 2 of The World According to Jeff Goldblum, several fan-favorite Disney Animation Studios shorts, and other content.

In our review of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, IGN gave the film an 8, saying that the movie "is a confident introduction to Marvel’s first Asian superhero, delivering the MCU’s best fight choreography and one of its most emotionally complex villains."

Deathloop received a hotfix for PC on Tuesday to combat a widespread stuttering issue.

The patch notes for the new update address potential stutter when moving the camera in-game with a mouse. The patch notes also mention that the developers are aware of stuttering at high framerates and are working to fix the problem.

"This hotfix addresses an issue experienced by some players on PC whereby mouse-based camera movement could result in the appearance of 'stutter,'" the patch notes read. "Additionally, we are looking into a separate, but related issue that we have identified as a factor that may also be a cause of stuttering at high framerates. We will update further on this as soon as we have more information."

The stuttering issue on PC has been prevalent since the game's launch on September 14. Many people blamed the Denuvo anti-piracy software in the game, although testers have noted that it may be a different issue involving the framerate, which the new patch notes agree with.

While Deathloop itself has received positive feedback from the gaming community and critics, including a glowing 10/10 review from IGN, the game has received some criticism. Gamers with disabilities have called to attention Deathloop's disappointing button customization and menu navigation.

Deathloop is available now on PC and PlayStation 5 with Nvidia Reflex recently adding support for Deathloop. Check out what's included in Deathloop's deluxe edition before making a purchase.

If you already have the game, then visit IGN's Deathloop wiki with a full walkthrough and tips to make it through the game.
