Infinity Ward is coming down hard on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone cheaters, and warns that more banwaves are coming for those who are found guilty. Infinity Ward posted the warning on Twitter, and explained more about how it determines who is considered a cheater; [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/11/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-warzone-official-season-four-trailer"]

1. Cheating will not be tolerated. More banwaves are coming. If you receive a ban it is for unauthorized manipulation of game data. Don't fall for unscrupulous services offering cheats and modifications, there are fraudulent. For a list of security and enforcement policy details, please visit https://support/activision.com/mwpolicy
2. Please do not use unauthorized 3rd party software to mod of hack. This includes tools such as hex editors, that equip items you have not acquired properly. We define this as cheating and there is no place for that in our game. This is a bannable offense and you risk losing your account.
3. Unauthorized 3rd party software includes, but it not limited to aimbots, wallhacks, trainers, stats hacks, texture hacks, leaderboard hacks, injectors, hex editors or any software used to deliberately modify game data or memory. Don't do it. This may result in being banned.
4. Avoid tutorials and services that offer ways to modify your camo. Anything that suggests altering the memory on your console or PC in order to acquire new gear, items or loadouts beyond what is offered in-game is a hack, and is considered cheating. We will enforce accordingly, which may result in being banned.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone are both currently in their fourth season, which looks to be wrapping up on August 4, 2020.

While Vikings may be coming to an end soon after six seasons on History Channel, its saga will live on in a sequel series, Vikings: Valhalla, which will stream on Netflix. Vikings showrunner Michael Hirst explained to IGN during a phone interview last week why History Channel isn't making this follow-up to their wildly successful TV series and also provided details on the narrative timeline of Valhalla. Vikings: Valhalla is set roughly 100 years after the events depicted in Vikings and will include appearances by famous Vikings from history like Leif Erikson, Freydís Eiríksdóttir, Harald Hardrada, and William the Conqueror. "These men and women will blaze new paths as they fight for survival in an ever-changing and evolving Europe," according to the official plot synopsis. Watch a new clip from Vikings' final run of episodes, which debuted during Comic-Con's Vikings panel: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/24/vikings-season-6-official-clip-comic-conhome-on-ign"] Jeb Stuart will serve as the showrunner of Valhalla, while Hirst -- who created, produced, and wrote every episode of Vikings -- is only expected to serve as an executive producer on Valhalla alongside Stuart and Morgan O'Sullivan. "I'm going to have a role of oversight. I know and like Jeb very much," Hirst said, who likened his future involvement with Vikings as being akin to how George Lucas served as a guru to other filmmakers on the Star Wars franchise he created. "I think that MGM will want me to continue my involvement rather the way that Lucas is kind of involved in every Star Wars," Hirst explained. "But I think that it was a decision of History [Channel] also to stop their involvement because [they're] not really doing, as far as I know, they're not going to do drama anymore, or at least they're going to go back to documentary making. MGM very much wants [Vikings] to continue so [it's] important to stay friends." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/07/vikings-season-6-trailer-2019"] "Netflix gives you obvious advantages and so we're very pleased to be in partnership with them," Hirst said the shift in distributors. "And it's a long-term commitment for them. And obviously I'm thrilled that my saga, in a way, it lives on." Vikings: Valhalla is, in spirit, about the legacy of Rollo (played on Vikings by Clive Standen) as William the Conqueror, the first Norman King of England, was a direct descendant of Rollo's and Normandy was formed by the Norsemen who followed Rollo. Seeing as how the chronology of the lives of Leif Erickson and William the Conqueror don't necessarily overlap at the most pivotal events and moments of their lives, Hirst suspects creative license could be employed much like how he moved up certain events in Vikings -- such as the siege of Paris -- to suit the narrative needs of his show. "I don't particularly want to think about how they're going to handle any distances in terms of when these characters actually appeared, or how they're just going to handle time lapses... That's not for me to say. I took some liberties obviously in my show," Hirst said. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=movies-and-shows-to-prepare-you-for-valhalla&captions=true"] "I don't believe in doing something plainly absurd, and plainly wouldn't happen, but the attack on Paris did happen. I showed it how it happened and everything is there [but pushed it up several decades]. So maybe they'll take liberties with Vikings: Valhalla, but I've known Jeb - it will have its own integrity." While there's no release date yet for Vikings: Valhalla, Netflix has committed to a 24-episode order for the series.

SYFY's newest profile documentary, Todd McFarlane: Like Hell I Won’t, centers on the iconic comic book creator, who co-founded Image Comics and is the mastermind behind the Spawn character and McFarlane Toys. The documentary, which premieres on SYFY on Saturday, July 25, "gives viewers a peek behind the curtain into Todd’s creative process of bringing Spider-Man & Spawn to life. Revealing his motivations & inspirations, it illustrates his struggle to navigate and upend the status quo in the comics & toy industries," according to SYFY. IGN can officially reveal a clip where McFarlane shares a personal story about how Spawn's origin story is influenced by his own life experiences. Watch the revealing clip in the video below or at the top of the page: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/25/todd-mcfarlane-like-hell-i-wont-exclusive-spawn-origin-clip"] The director of the documentary, David Oster, is a comic book fan himself and was thrilled to get the opportunity to tell McFarlane's story in partnership with online content creation studio Tongal. "Tongal provided an incredible opportunity for me to pitch my vision for how I wanted to tell Todd’s story directly to SYFY," Oster explained. "Todd McFarlane is an icon with passionate fans around the world, so I felt an immense obligation to not only tell his story well, but also to do it in a way that was exciting and new. Todd has spent his entire career breaking barriers, refusing to quit, and always fighting for his vision. So in making this film, I approached this creative challenge with the same ideals." While McFarlane has seen his Spawn creation on the big screen in New Line Cinema's live-action adaptation starring Michael Jai White in the titular role, McFarlane has promised another Spawn film is in the works. In more recent news, the comic book mogul mentioned that a 90-minute Spawn animated project is "ready to go."

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Negan Lives #1! [poilib element="accentDivider"] The Walking Dead creator and Skybound Entertainment co-founder Robert Kirkman hosted a spotlight panel at Comic-Con 2020, which was featured in IGN's Comic-Con@Home livestream on Friday. In addition to reflecting on the recently released Walking Dead epilogue comic Negan Lives, Kirkman also updated fans on the status of multimedia projects like the Rick Grimes-focused Walking Dead movies and the Oblivion Song movie, along with revealing even more voice actors for Amazon's Invincible animated series. Perhaps most importantly, Kirkman reassured fans that he is heavily involved in the Rick Grimes movies and they are still progressing, despite a lack of recent news surrounding these spinoffs of the TV series. As with so many movies and TV shows, the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't helped. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-and-worst-walking-dead-time-jumps&captions=true"] "I am very involved in those," said Kirkman. "I'm talking to Andrew Lincoln quite frequently and working with David Alpert and Scott Gimple and everyone at Universal and AMC and getting that in shape. It's very important to us that these movies are spectacular. I think that to have Andrew Lincoln reprising his role as Rick is a very special thing, and if we were to do these movies that were in any way lackluster, I think would be a disservice to him and a disservice to Rick Grimes and a disservice to the fans. I've been very hands-on with shaping that story and making sure they're on the up-and-up. We're all working very hard to bring you the best possible movie. That and the pandemic is why there's been a bit of a delay in the news." Similarly, Kirkman said progress is being made on Oblivion Song, even if it doesn't seem apparent from the outside. "The movie is still very much in development," he said. "We're working with our partners at Universal to bring this film to life. It is a slow-going process. We probably announced the development of it a little too soon, but it's something that's actively going on behind the scenes on a daily basis. I'm reviewing things and getting things in order, and progress is being made. Hopefully, there'll be news very soon." Building on the recent Invincible cast reveals at Skybound Xpo, Kirkman announced the full cast voicing the Guardians of the Globe (basically the Invincible universe's answer to the Justice League), all of whom are The Walking Dead veterans. That lineup includes Ross Marquand as both The Immortal and Aquarius, Lauren Cohan as War Woman, Michael Cudlitz as Red Rush, Lennie James as Darkwing, Chad Coleman as Martian Man, and Sonequa Martin-Green as Green Ghost. Unfortunately, Kirkman is not at all optimistic about a third season of Cinemax's Outcast series. He noted that the cast has moved on to other projects and the contractual difficulties would be difficult to overcome at this point, short of a situation similar to when Amazon's Jeff Bezos intervened to save The Expanse. Kirkman isn't ruling out the possibility of an Outcast movie, though it's unclear whether he envisions a spinoff of the TV series or a brand new adaptation. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/25/why-the-walking-dead-season-10-finale-is-delayed-ign-now"] Kirkman also downplayed the idea of the Walking Dead comic getting any further spinoffs or continuations after Negan Lives #1. Though that issue seems to set up a new story, ending with Negan setting forth to find his late wife's body and properly lay her to rest, Kirkman pointed out that The Walking Dead #193 already shows the reformed villain visiting her new gravesite. Basically, the beginning and ending of that story have already been told. "It does very much seem like it is setting up a continuing journey for Negan. It is not," said Kirkman. "To a certain extent, the story of Negan recovering her body has a definitive end that's already been said. Do we really need to tell that story? I don't know. It might be fun. Maybe someday we will, but there are no plans whatsoever at this point."
