Poker Club has been announced for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, with cross-platform and cross-generation online play. Announced by Ripstone Games and coming this year, Poker Club aims to be a social experience, including 200-player tournaments, and online Career Mode that take splayers from back-room games to high-stakes tables, and many, many options for other modes. The game will also feature private online games, and a full Poker 101 tutorial to help bed in new players. You can also create or join clubs in game, allowing players to work together to meet shared goals that unlock unique gear rewards for your customisable character. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/01/poker-club-reveal-trailer"] Current-gen owners of the game will be able to get a free upgrade to the next-gen versions. On PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X, the game will play at 4K / 60 FPS, and include ray tracing. On PS5, the game will even make use of the DualSense controller's haptic feedback technology. Speaking to IGN, game director Phil Gaskell explained that next-gen SSDs have been a game-changer: "We've been working on the proprietary tech in the systems to reduce load times in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of Poker Club. Loading is now practically non-existent, it makes the whole experience feel seamless, you won’t ever want to go back!" As for the addition of ray tracing, that too seems to have been a pleasant addition to the mix. "Ray tracing is a huge deal for us," explains Gaskell, "we knew we wanted to use it on PC, but weren’t sure how it would work on console. We were so impressed with how capable they are in that department. With ray traced lighting/shadows/reflections, Poker Club is brought to life. We’re happy to say It looks incredible on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=poker-club-6-screenshots&captions=true"] Gaskell makes clear the key benefit of both next-gen consoles - that compromises no longer have to be made to achieve the desired results: "Whereas before in game development you had to pick and choose your battles: are we going to target high frame rates / top-end visual features / high rendering resolution / etc. With the power of these new consoles, we can choose everything, it’s a no compromise experience."

Magic: The Gathering will get a new set based on Dungeons & Dragons during Q3 2021, titled Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Announced during Magic's Zendikar Adventuring Party livestream, the set will be fully standard-legal and black-bordered, meaning the set can interact with other mainline Magic sets. Check out the logo below: No other details have been offered, other than to say neither Magic or D&D players will want to miss what's coming, and that D&D is coming to Magic's multiverse (although it's not clear how extensive that crossover will be). It was far from the only new set announced today. Magic's Q1 2021 set will be Kaldheim, a Viking-themed set, Q2 brings Strixhaven, based in a Wizard university (essentially it sounds like Magic-but-Hogwarts), and Q4 will bring two new, full-sized Innistrad sets, one centred on werewolves and the other on vampires (with a tease of a "vampire wedding" being involved). We also saw a Walker token based on The Walking Dead, which will be coming to Magic's limited edition Secret Lair store in future: Finally, we also received word that Magic: The Gathering Arena will be coming to mobile "soon" - although no other specifics were given. If you want more Magic, check back with IGN tomorrow, when we'll be exclusively revealing new cards from the Zendikar Rising set arriving this month.

Netflix has unveiled a new promotion that offers a selection of its original movies and TV show episodes to non-subscribers for free. The streamer's new "Watch Free" page invites users to sample some of its content without a subscription. "Netflix is the premiere destination for all your entertainment needs," the website states. "But don't take our word for it–check out some of our favorite movies and TV shows, absolutely free." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/01/03/bird-box-ending-explained"] The current selection of free titles on the website comprises of the Sandra Bullock thriller Bird Box, the Oscar-nominated biopic The Two Popes, and the Sandler-Aniston comedy Murder Mystery, which was the platform's most popular release last year. On the TV side, Netflix is offering pilot episodes of some of its most popular shows, including Stranger Things, Elite, Boss Baby: Back in Business, When They See Us, Love Is Blind, Our Planet, and Grace and Frankie, starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. Netflix notes on the catalogue's corresponding support page that non-account holders can access its free-to-watch library of movies and TV episodes by using web browsers on computers and Android devices (while iOS browsers are not currently supported). [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=netflix-spotlight-september-2020&captions=true"] Over the years, Netflix has garnered a reputation for spending enormous amounts of money to secure original streaming content for its platform in a bid to stay ahead of its competitors in the increasingly crowded streaming landscape. In fact, it was projected earlier this year that Netflix would be spending $17.3 billion on new content for 2020, up from $15.3 billion last year.

While we first met Jedi Master Yoda in his later years, Star Wars: The High Republic will give fans of that galaxy far, far away a chance to learn more about him centuries before the events of the Skywalker Saga. As revealed by StarWars.com, Yoda will feature "prominently" in Daniel José Older's Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures comic in 2021, however, he won't be "quite the same sage-like being we know." “It’s especially exciting to be able to introduce him in the era of the High Republic,” Older tells StarWars.com. “The High Republic Yoda is a journeyman out in the galaxy.” Even though he may be exploring the galaxy more, it doesn't mean he won't take time to help others along the way. “While he’s already a respected member of the Jedi Council at this point, we meet Yoda in IDW’s The High Republic Adventures series doing what he loves best: looking out for the young folks — in this case, a group of Padawans traveling around the galaxy to learn the ways of the Jedi with a hands-on approach,” Older says. “The Force study abroad program, basically.” Considering Yoda will be appearing in a comic, his looks had to be updated to reflect his younger self, and that proved to be an exciting challenge for those involved. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/27/star-wars-the-high-republic-explained"] “The goal was to update Yoda, but to be careful and be true to the Yoda that we all know and love,” says Troy Alders, Lucasfilm art director. “Also, to really make sure that the new look was believable, as this is really the first time that there has been an opportunity to update his look and his clothing. It felt like a daunting and enormous responsibility to embark on and get right.” Yoda will be around 700 years old, meaning he is about 200 years younger than what he was in the Skywalker Saga, so he isn't THAT much younger, relatively speaking, but the team "thought that with it being hundreds of years earlier, he would definitely have a different outfit, maybe even more than one." His hair and face only appear slightly younger in these new adventures, and will mostly resemble what he looked like in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. To ensure consistency, Alders made sure to involve concept artist Iain McCaig, who was instrumental in the design of the prequel trilogy. In the concept images you can see below, Yoda's temple attire is from this "special time of the golden age of the Jedi." There is an "elegance" to it, says Alders. His mission outfit features tonal markings on the robe that are inspired by the Jedi Temple architectural details. He is also adorned with the previously established High Republic-era lightsaber holster, more layered tunics, and cloaks reflecting the era. Star Wars: The High Republic is a new initiative featuring inter-connected adult and young adult novels, children's books, and comics that will explore this new era that takes place 200 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Star Wars: The High Republic was delayed from August 2020 to January 2021. For more on Star Wars: The High Republic, check out the first chapter of Charles Soule's Star Wars: The High Republic - Light of the Jedi, read about 5 new Jedi from this new era, and find out why we think this new initiative is just what Star Wars needs right now.
