Some customers who pre-order an Xbox Series X from Amazon are being informed that they may not receive their new consoles until December 31 or possibly earlier. The Xbox Series X will be released tomorrow, and those lucky enough to have secured a pre-order are already seeing shipment notifications and updates. But according to Amazon, not everyone who secured a pre-order through the online retailer will be able to get their new console in time for launch. “We’re contacting you with an update regarding your order of Xbox Series X. We expect to ship your console in the coming weeks as we receive more inventory in November and December,” a customer notification email from Amazon reads. “At this time, we anticipate that you will receive your Xbox Series X by 12/31 or before.”

According to the email, which IGN has seen, Amazon says it’s “making every effort to get it to” customers as “soon as possible.” Amazon warned customers back in September when pre-orders went live that it might not be able to fulfill launch day deliveries for the Xbox Series X or PS5. But the expectation was that the deliveries may miss the launch date. Now, Amazon is saying that in some cases deliveries might not go out until the end of December. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-xbox-series-x-games&captions=true"] There's no word yet on whether PS5 pre-orders might also be delayed until December, but Amazon previously warned customers that there may be a hold up on Sony's next-gen consoles as well.

A Bloodshot sequel has been announced with Vin Diesel returning to star as the regenerating super-soldier hero. Strong rental and home sales for the original Bloodshot led DMG Entertainment to greenlight the sequel. Dan Mintz, the CEO of DMG Entertainment, which owns the Bloodshot comic and helped produce the movie adaptation, told CBR that Diesel is going to work on the sequel. "I think [Bloodshot] was very successful in that respect, a lot of people saw it and it did very well in the post-release rollout but you can't use the same evaluation process, pre-COVID, to this," Mintz said. "[Are] Vin Diesel and all those people going to continue? Yes, because it did so well and the response to it has been so well, it's just that the response has been in a non-transparent environment, as opposed to a transparent environment like box office numbers." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=movies-and-tv-based-on-comics&captions=true"] Bloodshot opened in theaters in March 2020 on the worst box office weekend America had seen in 20 years due to the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bloodshot became available for a digital rental that same month. Leading up to Bloodshot's release, there were plans for a whole cinematic universe with Bloodshot as the launching point. Since video-on-demand numbers aren't specifically reported like box office numbers, the future of the universe was up in the air. A video game based on Bloodshot was also announced to be in the works from DMG Entertainment, although it's not clear if Diesel is involved in that project. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/11/bloodshot-review-ng"] Read IGN's roundup of Bloodshot's powers and backstory for more information on the character. In IGN's review of the Bloodshot movie, we said, "Bloodshot largely overcomes a slew of cliches and an awful opening 20 minutes to prove a mostly fun Vin Diesel flick." [poilib element="accentDivider"] Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN who thought Bloodshot was pretty good and is looking forward to more.

The PlayStation 5 is big. Much larger than any modern console these past few generations, but according to its designer the original drawings for Sony’s next-gen games console were supposedly even bigger. “It’s kind of funny that engineering actually told me it’s too big,” PlayStation 5 designer Yujin Morisawa said in an interview with The Washington Post. “So, I actually had to shrink it down a little bit from the first drawing.” At 15.4 inches tall, the PS5 dwarfs the competition pretty easily. It outsizes the Xbox Series X and even the hefty Xbox One by a good amount as well as past Sony systems like the original PlayStation 3. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ps5-console-first-look-size-comparison&captions=true"] “I knew it was going to be large because I know how much power there was going to be, so I knew how much airflow you would need and how much space for a heat sink,” Morisawa said. “We wanted to get it much smaller, so it’s the perfect size right now.” Morisawa says that any smaller and there would be less airflow for the PS5 that would “disturb” the players while playing. While the PS5’s sheer size is still staggering in its final form, the form factor allows all of the internal components to behave efficiently. And while the hardware may have dictated the size, Morisawa says the actual design and form factor was for aesthetics. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/06/playstation-5-review"] “When you design something, you want to make it feel comfortable. Sometimes it looks like a plant or some animal or some object. I think that’s more comfortable than something weird, or something that they’ve never seen before,” Morisawa says. Check out IGN’s full review of the PS5 here, as well as our PS5 wiki for a full rundown of everything you’ll ever need to know about the system before launch. We also have reviews on PS5 launch games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales and (talkin’ about) Bugsnax. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is a reporter for IGN.

A third movie in the A Quiet Place franchise is in the works from Jeff Nichols, the director of Midnight Special. It is targeting a 2022 release date, and John Krasinski is also attached to produce the spin-off. Nichols, who directed Mud and Loving, will write and direct the movie from an idea by Krasinski. Details about the story are still under wraps but The Hollywood Reporter describes the movie as a spin-off rather than a direct sequel to A Quiet Place Part II. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/28/the-10-best-horror-movies"] Krasinski previously spoke about the idea of making more Quiet Place movies beyond Part II and said that there are elements in the sequel that hint at deeper lore. "I set up a couple of tiny little Easter eggs in [A Quiet Place Part II] that not only explain more about 1, but would allow for more mythology,” Krasinski said in January 2020. “But, being a Boston Catholic, I can’t be like, ‘Yeah, of course, there’ll be a third!’ No, not at all.” The first two movies in the Quiet Place series were directed by Krasinski and starred Emily Blunt. The first movie was a huge hit upon release in 2018. It made over $335 million at the box office on a production budget of $17 million, according to The Numbers, and was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA in sound categories. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] A Quiet Place Part II is currently set to hit theaters on April 23, 2021. The movie was originally scheduled for release in March 2020 but was delayed a week before release due to theater closures in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Social media reactions for A Quiet Place Part II were already appearing online by the time the movie was delayed, and they were very positive.
