After landing an unprecedented five-year deal with Netflix worth $300 million dollars, Glee and American Horror/Crime Story creator Ryan Murphy has his next Netflix series in sight - the story of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. After making The Politician, Hollywood, and Ratched for Netflix, Murphy and co-creator Ian Brennan will usher in a limited series called Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. Per Deadline, Richard Jenkins (The Shape of Water) has already been cast as Dahmer's father, Lionel - a "chemist, who showed [Dahmer] how to safely bleach and preserve animal bones when he was a child." The 10-episode limited series will span "the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s and ends with Dahmer’s arrest in the early ’90s," while also dramatizing "at least 10 instances where Dahmer was almost apprehended but ultimately let go." Casting is currently underway for Dahmer himself as well as Glenda Cleveland, a "neighbor of Dahmer’s who repeatedly tried to warn law enforcement of his erratic behavior, to no avail." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-horror-movies-on-netflix&captions=true"] Production for Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story will start in January.

EA is teasing an upcoming announcement on October 5, 2020, that very well may be Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. Need for Speed's Twitter account has been tweeting out cryptic messages that feature racing cars, cops in... hot pursuit (I had to), Big Joe's Pizzeria, and the police code of 510 which is used for speeding or racing vehicles. Furthermore, a page on Need for Speed's official website has a countdown that will end on October 5, 2020, at 8am PT/11am ET/4pm BST alongside a message that states "5:10. How did he go so fast? Five ten. "Call Big Joe's Pizzeria on 0800-510-510-510." There's got to be a way to fix this." Venture Beat first reported that Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered would be one of the seven previous announced EA games to be released for Nintendo Switch in 2020. Since then, it has appeared on Amazon UK and was rated by Korea's Games Rating and Administration Committee. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was originally released in 2010 and has appeared on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, iOS, and Android. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2010/11/08/need-for-speed-hot-pursuit-video-review"] In our review of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, we said it "is pure over-the-top driving entertainment. The cars and environments are gorgeous, the crashes are spectacular, and the new Autolog feature breathes new life into the time-honored tradition of video game competition among friends. The single-player races can become somewhat repetitive and there are some presentation issues, but overall, Hot Pursuit is a blast." [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?

Minecraft Dungeons will get a free update that adds cross-play in November 2020, while the Howling Peaks DLC, Season Pass, and the Apocalypse Plus difficulty will be added in December. Revealed at Minecraft Live 2020, Minecraft Dungeons will allow the Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions to all play together. Unfortunately, cross-save is still not supported.

Hello there hero, adventure calls once again! Dangerous mobs, new gear, and the power of the wind itself, all await you atop perilous peaks! Howling Peaks DLC arrives in December – it's nearly time to trek to the top! ↣ https://t.co/CPC2Hy82Fe ↢ pic.twitter.com/sAcpaWRe0x

The Howling Peaks DLC will feature a new boss, the Tempest Golem, who can conjure up "howling winds" to make your life just that much more difficult. Speaking of difficulty, Apocalypse Plus will add 20 new difficulties after Apocalypse VII, and it "increases the characters' power ceiling, and adds new enchantments and items." This news arrived alongside the reveal that Minecraft characters, including Steve, Alex, Zombie, and Enderman, will be added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as fighters on October 13, 2020, and that Minecraft will get its Caves and Cliffs update in Summer 2021. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=minecraft-dungeons-howling-peaks-dlc-screenshots&captions=true"] In our review of Minecraft Dungeons, we said it "is a beautiful and fun dungeon crawler with a simple but tried-and-true set of systems in place. It plays it extremely safe, though, without bringing anything mining or crafting spins to the genre to accompany Minecraft’s signature look and feel. Still, it's just so damn charming, and so fun, it's hard to fault it for going the safe route." [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story?

UPDATE 3: Sony has pushed up the domestic release of Monster Hunter again, this time moving it from Christmas Day to December 18. UPDATE 2: IGN can confirm that the Monster Hunter movie will now open five days earlier, pushing up to December 25 (Christmas Day) from December 30. The movie will also play in IMAX format. The December 25th release date pits Monster Hunter against the HBO Max/international theatrical release of Wonder Woman 1984 and Pixar's Soul on Disney Plus. Our original report follows. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/19/monster-hunter-chinese-official-movie-trailer] UPDATE: The first tease for the Monster Hunter trailer reveals that the video game movie adaptation is coming out in theaters this year after all. The Screen Gems movie will now be released on December 30 after having been previously postponed to April 2021. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/monster-hunter-exclusive-official-trailer-tease"] Our original report follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Sony Pictures has delayed its upcoming Monster Hunter movie to next year. Monster Hunter, a movie based on the hit game from Capcom, was originally set to release in theaters in just a few months on September 4, but a change today in Sony Pictures' domestic calendar indicates that the movie has been pushed back to April 23, 2021. As for a reason why the movie has been delayed, Sony Pictures has yet to say, but it's likely due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the reason behind a number of delays in the film and TV industry this year. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/11/20/monster-hunter-movie-first-photo-revealed"] Paul W.S. Anderson is the director for Monster Hunter and it's not his first go at a movie based on a Capcom game. He's the director of the many Resident Evil movies spawned off from those games as well. Anderson isn't the only Resident Evil alum whose involved with this movie either, as the star of the Resident Evil movies, Milla Jovovich, is set to star in Monster Hunter. Jovovich plays Natalie Artimis, the leader of a group of soldiers who gets transported from their world into that of the Monster Hunter video games. Jovovich's Artimis teams up with The Hunter to, well, hunt monsters. The Hunter is played by Tony Jaa and his boss is someone known as the Admiral, a character played by Ron Perlman. Perlman's Admiral character has not yet been reveled beyond his name. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/10/26/milla-jovavich-posts-photo-from-monster-hunter-movie"] While this story will be a new one for fans of the game series, Anderson has previously said that weapons, armor, and monsters from the game will be in the movie. While waiting for Monster Hunter, check out Jovovich using her Slinger, an iconic in-game weapon she showed off on Twitter in response to fan backlash against the movie. After that, look at IGN's list of 12 cool Monster Hunter movie details we've already discovered. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Wesley LeBlanc is a freelance news writer and guide maker for IGN.

Mojang revealed Minecraft's Caves and Cliffs update, which arrives in Summer 2021 and, as the name suggests, it will make some big improvements to cave and underground exploration and adds "more spectacular mountain generation." Mountains were the winner of the 2019 Minecon Live biome vote, and this update will make them a much bigger part of Minecraft's world. In addition to the previously mentioned mountain generation, there will also be snow "traps, the charming and mischievous goats, and much more.

Underground biomes aren’t all terrifying lava lakes and skeleton-infested mines; instead – if you follow the roots – you’ll find the lush caves are a stunning oasis of calm and tranquillity.

The caves in Minecraft will soon have much more variety, with lush caves, dripstone caves, crystal geodes and more being added, as well as different blocks being present and new mobs to encounter. Some of the new blocks include the Sculk Sensor, a block that emits a redstone signal, allowing players the chance to build such "amazing contraptions" as a wireless redstone.

Tumble absent-mindedly down a hole, sail your trusty vessel into the deep, watery unknown or carefully descend that ancient ravine: whatever your underground exploration method – get ready for improved cave generation!

There will also be stalactite and stalagmite blocks that are "spiky blocks with different mechanics, such as increased fall damage if you land on them." As players are exploring the underground, there will also be the new copper ore to find, which can be used to craft a lightning rod block. Additionally, the lucky few will happen across the crystal geodes that can be used to craft a telescope.

Speaking of mountains and books by Max Brooks, that brings us to mobs that live on mountains and like to eat books (we suspect). As promised, we’ve added goats – the hugely-anticipated mob from last year’s biome vote. Jumping goats! Ramming goats! Baby goats! So many goats! pic.twitter.com/Wf5LWdHHgk

— Minecraft (@Minecraft) October 3, 2020

As for the mobs, certain new ones will be introduced like the Warden, a "hostile mob well adapted to the dark caves it lives in thanks to its ability to react on movement instead of what it sees, and the Axolotl, an adorable cave-dwelling water creature that can aid in battle."

Super Smash Bros. UItimate's director Masahiro Sakurai has announced that amiibo for Banjo-Kazooie, Fire Emblem: Three Houses' Byleth, and Fatal Fury's Terry Bogard will be available in 2021. These amiibo were revealed during the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - Mr. Sakurai Presents "Steve & Alex" presentation that unveiled the release date of the Mincecraft character fighters and broke down how the variations - Steve, Alex, Zombie, and Enderman - will play. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=super-smash-bros-ultimate-banjo-kazooie-byleth-and-terry-bogard-amiibo&captions=true"] Unfortunately, according to Sakurai, the team was only able to create an amiibo for the P1 fighter of Byleth, so there will not be a female version of the figure. As for a potential Minecraft Steve amiibo, Sakurai didn't quite confirm it, but he did say, "If it's going to be produced, I bet it'll be easier compared to the other fighters." These amiibo, alongside the Joker and Dragon Quest Hero amiibo, will make it so each fighter from Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Fighter's Pass Vol. 1 will have a figure you can own. Hopefully, Minecraft's Steve and Alex, as well as ARMS' Min Min, won't be far behind.
