Gears of War mobile spin-off Gears Pop!, the multiplayer PvP battle arena-style game, will be shutting down on April 26, 2021. Gears Pop!, which was developed by Fall Guys developer Mediatonic, will be closing down because of "a number of things that go into maintaining a game beyond keeping servers active. Addressing issues, developing content, and providing support are critical in keeping a game running. Unfortunately, this is no longer feasible." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/22/10-minutes-of-gears-pop-gameplay"] While the game is still running, Gears Pop! will see some of its most popular events return, Bounty rewards will be increased, and the drop rates for Legendary Pins will be increased. It was also mentioned that all in-app purchasing has been disabled, effective immediately. Refunds will be issued automatically for all those purchases made 90 days prior to October 28, 2020. These may take a few weeks to be processed. Gears Pop! Was revealed during Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference and surprised the gaming world with a game that mashed together Gears of War with Funko Pops. It released on mobile devices on August 22, 2019. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/23/gears-5-xbox-series-xs-update-trailer"] For those looking for happier Gears of War news following this unfortunate announcement, The Coalition revealed that Gears 5's Xbox Series X/S update will bring with it a New Game+, the option to put a Dave Bautista skin on Marcus Fenix during the campaign with a new voice over, multilayer updates, visual upgrades, and even brand new story DLC later this year.

Everspace 2's Early Access release has been delayed due to Cyberpunk 2077 moving its date to December 10, 2020. Everspace 2 follows Path of Exile's 3.13 end-game expansion's delay to January 2021 and, as Rockfish Games said in a Kickstarter update to Everspace 2 backers, this was a "major blow" to the studio. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/27/everspace-2-trailer-highlights-space-combat-while-dodging-asteroids-and-space-stations"] "Let’s get the cyber elephant out of the room right away: The Cyberpunk 2077 release has just been pushed back to December 10, which is a major blow to our planned EVERSPACE 2 Early Access release in mid-December," Rockfish Games said. "Not only will every media outlet and content creator cover the arguably most-anticipated AAA game in history throughout the entire holiday season (and not much else), we also know that there’s quite a bit of audience overlap within our community (and our team), so... After a quick consultation with our marketing friends at Evolve PR, Plan Of Attack, and Swordfish PR, we’ve decided to push back the EVERSPACE 2 Early Access release to January. We know that sucks, but hear us out! There’s actually some good in this." The good news is that any Kickstarter backer that doesn't have access to the Closed Beta will receive a pre-release key on November 2, 2020. This will allow any who pledged for a digital copy to be able to experience the first "10ish hours of what we have planned for Early Access." There is no time constraint, and the Closed Beta can be played as many times as desired. Everspace 2 was announced at Gamescom 2019's Opening Night Live for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC and is a fast-paced single-player space shooter with deep explorations, tons of loot, and classic RPG elements.

A Tweet from FromSoftware about its upcoming game Elden Ring has caused fans around the world to rejoice, yet it offered no new info and simply thanked  fans for all the enthusiasm and support shown for the Dark Fantasy Action RPG. FromSoftware, alongside a Tweet about the newest update for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, wanted to ensure fans that Elden Ring is still on its way, and that the developer truly appreciates all the excitement surrounding the game that is being built with the help of A Song of Ice and Fire author George R.R. Martin. "We also greatly appreciate all the enthusiasm and support shown for "ELDEN RING", our next Dark Fantasy Action RPG. We hope you look forward to it," FromSoftware's Tweet read. Even though it offered nothing new, that didn't stop fans from responding in a wonderful way. @_Ju_Ke utilized the famous gif from Titanic to convey how Elden Ring fans have felt waiting for anything related to the game. @SnekDe thinks they found a secret meaning in FromSoftware's Tweet. @KillLaGrill used a video showing Elden Ring's roller coaster of emotions from seeing a Tweet about the game and then finding out it had nothing new.

@Final_Dino enlisted the help of Despicable Me's Gru to reenact FromSoftware giving its fans a non-update update. @NAtliszilla combined the Pope holding up something meme and a character from Elden Ring's trailer to show exactly what these fans want. @MoAtef09 has politely used an image of Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye to help show the world how hopeless they feel. @__pLANK wants to believe in Elden Ring, and some hope has been brought into their life. @Sonichimself used a video of Ryan Gosling to let the world know their pain. They also think we may not get any more news until 2021, and unless Elden Ring shows up at The Game Awards, they may be right.

so no news until 2021 I presume

Elden Ring was revealed during Microsoft's Xbox E3 2019 press conference, and we have yet to see more gameplay from the much anticipated game. However, that hasn't stopped the Elden Ring subreddit from becoming one of the wildest places on the internet. Starved for any more official details, these brave souls have taken to creating their own Elden Ring. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/09/elden-ring-official-reveal-trailer-e3-2019"] While fans may have to wait a while to actually play Elden Ring, they will soon be able to play a remaster of FromSoftware's Demon's Souls, as it is a launch title for the PlayStation 5.

Announced last April, though it's been in development since 2012, HBO is developing a new TV series based on Clive Barker's Hellraiser, which has David Gordon Green (2018's Halloween) attached to direct a few early episodes. Now the news has come in, per Deadline, that horror maestro Clive Barker has joined the series as an executive producer. Barker's novella The Hellbound Heart was the basis for 1987's Hellrasier, which Barker himself wrote and directed. Nine more Hellraiser movies followed. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix&captions=true"] Barker was recently involved in the film adaptation of The Books of Blood, based on his short story collections, for Hulu and is also currently working on a Nightbreed series (based on his 1988 novella Cabal), with Michael Dougherty (Trick 'r Treat) directing, for Syfy. Hellraiser will feature David Gordon Green directing the pilot and several more episodes, which will be scripted by vets Mark Verheiden (Battlestar Galactica, Daredevil) and Michael Dougherty (Trick r’ Treat). The series will remain centered on the demonic Cenobites and their leader, Pinhead. The Cenobites, as the site reminds us, "come from hell to harvest human souls and keep balance between good and evil."

Netflix provided The Witcher fans with a Halloween treat - a new monster montage video, set to Monster Mash no less, that appears to give the briefest of glimpses at some of the horror's Henry Cavill's Geralt of Rivia will have to face off against in its upcoming second season. In Netflix's video, which you can see below, we get a recap of some of the monsters that were featured in The Witcher's first season. However, around 0:15 and 0:31, we get a look at a terrifying monster with many legs and three ominous looking skeletons, respectively.

Monsters big and monsters small, sharpen your swords and slay them all… if you can spot them. pic.twitter.com/OWgaawSduy

This is another tease for season 2 and follows the reveal of new Nilfgaardian armour, a new look at Anya Chalotra as Yennefer, Freya Allan as Ciri, and Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia. The Witcher's second season is set to premiere in 2021, but it's important to note that the production of the Netflix series was put on hold due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Even though the wait may be long, fans of The Witcher will be happy to know that a third season has been all but confirmed following an appearance of The Witcher Season 3 (2020-2021) in the Writers Guild of America's directories. With the delayed start of season 2 it may not make that 2021 window, but never say never. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=netflixs-the-witcher-season-2-photos&captions=true"] In our review of the first season of The Witcher, we said "The Witcher’s first season is unconventional and messy. It’s failed by its convoluted structure, which ultimately restricts character growth, and prevents the show from having any true sense of depth. This makes for an unsatisfying big picture, but thankfully there are plenty of things to enjoy in its individual components." [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?

Fans of the acclaimed Chappelle's Show, which ran on Comedy Central from 2003 to 2006 and featured comedian Dave Chappelle in skits skewering everyone from Prince to Rick James to Wayne Brady, are in for a treat this November as the series will be available to binge on two different streaming platforms. Chappelle's Show will land on both Netflix and HBO Max on November 1, with all 28 episodes available to watch. Famously, Chappelle quit the series in 2005 citing "stress, creative angst over the ideas for his show, and the fact that he's sometimes a 'difficult dude.'"

HBO Max's grab of Chappelle's Show is part of a larger deal with Viacom-owned Comedy Central which will also make way for Inside Amy Schumer, Key & Peele, Nathan For You, and Reno 911! coming to the site. Chappelle's Show ranked number 19 on IGN's Top 100 TV Shows of All Time.
