The way the dreaded Night King was dispatched in Game of Thrones' final season didn't just come as a surprise to fans, but to star Kit Harington as well. According to co-star Maisie Williams, whose beloved character Arya Stark wound up being the hero who vanquished the evil ice lord, Harington spent seasons thinking the Night King's fate belonged to Jon Snow. Talking to THR, Williams said "[Harington] expected it to go that way, too, and he even said 'It was going to go that way. Someone told me in season three that I was going to kill The Night King.' "And then he read the script, and it was Arya the whole time," Williams laughed. "Yeah, I think it would’ve been too obvious. I’m glad that it was Arya, honestly. I think I had the best storyline of the final season." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-game-of-thrones-review-so-far&captions=true"] Williams currently stars in Disney's The Mutants, which finally found theatrical release after years of delay and then postponement due to COVID. Our review of The New Mutants said it's an "entertaining, if at times formulaic small-scale genre movie" that didn't deserved to be shelved for so long. Meanwhile, Game of Thrones executive producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff settled on their next project, teaming with Rian Johnson for a Netflix series inspired by Liu Cixin's award-winning book trilogy The Three-Body Problem (Remembrance of Earth's Past).

Tenet finally landed in U.S. theaters this Labor Day weekend, with only about 65-70% of multiplexes having reopened (at limited capacity), bringing in an estimated $20.2 million, according to Warner Bros. Internationally, with an added $78.3 million this weekend, the overseas haul for the Christopher Nolan mind-bender is $126 million. When added to domestic, the total tally to date is $146 million for the $200 million-budgeted movie. Obviously, and understandably, this is a slow start for the film but one that's been expected during the COVID crisis. Per Variety, Warner Bros. hopes that Tenet will be able to play for months in theaters given that there's not as much competition and/or offerings, so that it can make an eventual profit on its hefty price tag. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=tenet-images&captions=true"] Critics have said that Tenet is a thrilling spectacle despite being cold and confusing. Our own review of Tenet said the film is "a thrilling addition to the Christopher Nolan canon, but is slightly held back by a sense of over-familiarity." In other domestic box office news, Disney's The New Mutants, which only brought in $800k on Friday -- dropping nearly 75% since its debut -- will generate $3.5 million through Labor Day. This brings its total to a low $12.3 million.

Call of Duty: Warzone has a new game-breaking glitch that has caused Infinity Ward to temporarily remove all vehicles from Warzone and Plunder. As reported by VGC, this glitch is caused when players take any vehicle into a certain point of Warzone's map. This will cause the game's server to crash, which will kick all players out of the match. YouTuber JGOD breaks down this new glitch, without showing exactly how to accomplish it as, like he mentioned, it's just a frustrating thing that doesn't even give the players performing the glitch an advantage. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/28/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-warzone-games-of-summer-trailer"] Infinity Ward has confirmed that a playlist update has been rolled out to all platforms to "remove all vehicles from Warzone," but it has yet to give a timeframe when they will return. This is another bug that has impacted the hugely popular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone, but is a bit different from the previous one that was turning players' guns into terrifying black cubes that made it very difficulty to see and play a proper match. These issues will undoubtedly be fixed shortly, and players will be able to drive vehicles again in Call of Duty: Warzone, a game that will also be part of this year's Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Epic has once again made a move to try and get the court to reinstate Fortnite to Apple's App Store, as it has stated that, since its removal, daily iOS Fortnite players have dropped by over 60%. As reported by The Verge, Epic Games has filed a preliminary injunction against Apple that would force it to put Fortnite back on its App Store. The full hearing for this overall case had already been scheduled for September 28, but Epic is hoping to have Fortnite back in the hands of iOS players before then, at least until a verdict is reached. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers previously ruled that Apple did not have to put Fortnite back in its App Store as Epic hadn't proved any harm had been done and that Epic "strategically chose to breach its agreements with Apple." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/13/fortnite-1984-apple-parody-video-short"] However, this latest filing argues that "daily active users on iOS have declined by over 60% since Fortnite's removal from the App Store." This date range also includes the start of the Marvel-themed Chapter 2 - Season 4 that iOS players were unable to join due to the lack of ability to update. Epic says that iOS is the biggest platform for Fortnite with over 116 million registered users, almost a third of its 350 million registered users. Furthermore, Epic claims 63% of Fortnite players on iOS only access Fortnite on Apple devices. Epic is worried it "may never see these users again" and that its Fortnite community has been "torn apart." Additionally, since Apple has terminated Epic's developer account, its other games, and those players looking to play those titles, are also impacted. It is also reads that Apple is threatening to deny any attempts by Epic to apply for a new developer account for "at least a year." This would be a big issue for Epic if it was "denied the opportunity to access even a single new users among the one-billion-plus iOS users for at least the next year." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=games-that-came-back-from-the-brink-of-disaster&captions=true"] In a statement to The Verge on this matter, Apple referred them to a previously made comment:

"We are disappointed that we have had to terminate the Epic Games account on the App Store. We have worked with the team at Epic Games for many years on their launches and releases. The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused. Instead they repeatedly submit Fortnite updates designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store. This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight. We hope that we can work together again in the future, but unfortunately that is not possible today."

Apple and Google removed Fortnite from their app stores following Epic's decision to alter the price of Fortnite V-Bucks and add a new direct payment system in response to Apple and Google's "exorbitant" app store fees. Epic responded by starting its #FreeFortnite campaign by hosting in-game events and parodying Apple's 1984 commercial.
