Ubisoft is potentially teasing the return of the infamous delisted Ubisoft Montreal Scott Pilgrim game that launched back in 2010. Last night The Academy held a rewatch of Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World adaptation. Scott Pilgrim creator, Bryan Lee O'Malley tuned in for the watchalong. O'Malley tweeted during the movie that Ubisoft should "bring back the scott pilgrim game," after the Xbox Live Arcade / PlayStation Network title was delisted from both stores on December 30, 2014. At the time, it wasn't clear why the game was taken down, but it was most likely due to licensing issues.

— Ubisoft (@Ubisoft) May 21, 2020

Despite not being tagged in the initial tweet, Ubisoft, which developed the game, responded to O'Malley's call with a considering emoji, (hopefully) teasing the game's potential return. The game was well received by fans of the graphic novel and was praised for its soundtrack upon release, which was composed by the American bitpop band Anamanaguchi. We reviewed Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game in 2010, calling it "really enjoyable, even if at times it can be really frustrating." We featured the game in our article featuring 9 licensed games that got it right (and 5 that didn't).

Parallel universes are something any sci-fi fan worth their salt knows about thanks to decades of pop culture, where they have depicted everything from an evil Mr. Spock with a goatee to a Spider-Verse where Miles Morales teams with fellow web-slingers. Purported evidence of a parallel universe was put forth back in 2015 and now scientists believe they have discovered evidence of not only a neighboring parallel universe, but one where time runs backward. According to the New York Post (via The Daily Star), scientists conducting cosmic ray detection experiments in Antarctica have uncovered what they believe is evidence of a parallel universe where the laws of physics differ from our own. They reportedly detected high-energy particles rising out of Antarctica, which is contrary to how these particles are supposed to behave, since they're supposedly only able to be detected when they come down from space. "To detect a heavier particle – a tau neutrino – coming 'up' out of the Earth would imply that these particles are actually traveling backwards in time," according to the Daily Star. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/08/14/what-is-doctor-strange-2s-multiverse-of-madness"] Scientists believe such a parallel universe would be the result of the Big Bang over 13 billion years ago where not only was our universe formed but this parallel one was as well. The New Scientist breaks down the possible discovery like this:

"That strange finding was made in 2016. Since then, all sorts of suggestions rooted in known physics have been put forward to account for the perplexing signal, and all have been ruled out. What’s left is shocking in its implications. Explaining this signal requires the existence of a topsy-turvy universe created in the same big bang as our own and existing in parallel with it. In this mirror world, positive is negative, left is right and time runs backwards."

However, the team's findings aren't universally believed to be evidence of a parallel universe, let alone one where time -- to us -- runs backward. As experimental particle physicist Peter Gorham - lead author on the paper documenting the phenomenon he dubbed an "upside-down cosmic-ray shower" - conceded to The New Scientist, "Not everyone was comfortable with the hypothesis." Until there's more scientific consensus on these findings, we'll just have to stick to pop culture for our fix of parallel universes and time craziness, such as in Christopher Nolan's upcoming film Tenet. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/19/tenet-official-trailer"] What do you think about the possibility of a parallel universe where time runs backward?

Take-Two Interactive, the parent company for video game developers like Rockstar and 2K Games, announced that while the coming year will be light in terms of releases, it is planning to release 93 titles over the next five years, including games from across its many studios. In a call with investors today to discuss its Q4 2020 results, Take-Two shared a bit about its “strongest pipeline in its history.” While the company specifically said that the coming fiscal year, which ends in March 2021, will be “light” in terms of new games, the company is planning a massive wave of titles starting in fiscal 2022. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/11/09/what-gta-6-can-learn-from-red-dead-2"] Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad broke down the 93 titles as 63 “core experiences,” 17 “mid core games,” and 12 “casual/arcade” titles. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-rockstar-game-review-ever&captions=true"] IGN learned from an anonymous source close to Rockstar Games that the next game in the Grand Theft Auto series, most likely GTA 6, is currently in early development. Take-Two announced its planned 93 titles range from casual mobile games to triple-A releases, but did not mention if the next GTA game was part of the line-up. Though five years is a wide window. In other Take-Two news, Grand Theft Auto 5 has sold 130 million units. GTA 5 is a staggering sales success and despite being on sale for the past 7 years, continues to sell thanks to the popularity of GTA Online. GTA 5 was recently offered as the Epic Games Store’s free game and it temporarily took the store offline due to demand. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN.

Kerbal Space Program 2 has been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Kerbal Space Program 2 development team put out a tweet on May 20 telling fans that the game has been delayed as a result of COVID-19 and will instead launch in fall 2021. The game was set to be released sometime in Take-Two Interactive's 2021 fiscal year, placing it between April 2020 and March 2021. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=kerbal-space-program-2-announcement-trailer-gallery&captions=true"] "As you all know, we've been working hard to make the best and most authentic KSP sequel possible," the developer's announcement reads. "This is an ambitious goal. We are making a big, expansive game loaded with new features, but doing so will take longer than we previously anticipated. With everything going on in the world today due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we're facing many unique challenges that require more time to safely iterate, create, test, and make KSP2 as great as it can be." This delay comes just a few months after Take-Two Interactive-owned publisher Private Division announced that the development of Kerbal Space Program 2 had been moved from previous developer Star Theory Games to a newly-formed KSP2-dedicated studio. Take-Two acquired KSP in 2017 and announced a sequel, at the time developed by Star Theory, during Gamescom 2019. The announcement goes on to say that despite the delay, fans can continue to expect updates in the form of feature videos, developer blogs, and more leading up to the game's launch in Fall 2021. The game was originally announced to be coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The announcement did not mention any change of plans in that regard. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/27/ps5-xbox-series-x-no-delay-concerns-yet-next-gen-console-watch"] KSP2 joins a continually-growing list of games delayed as a result of COVID-19. Guilty Gear Strive was delayed to 2021 just last week. Even tabletop games like Cyberpunk Red have been delayed. While games are getting delayed, head of Xbox Phil Spencer said Microsoft isn't expecting a delay for the Xbox Series X. Sony said the PS5 will not be delayed either.

Otherside Entertainment has announced that Tencent will take over the System Shock franchise from the Boston games studio. In a short message to followers on Twitter, Otherside announced that “Tencent will be taking the [System Shock] franchise forward.” The studio added in a follow-up, “As a smaller Indie studio, it had been challenging for us to carry the project on our own. We believe Tencent’s deep capabilities and expertise as a leading game company will bring the franchise to new heights.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=18-games-that-seemingly-vanished&captions=true"] Otherside Entertainment acquired the license to develop System Shock 3 from Night Dive Studios. However, development on the sequel stalled after reports that the studio fell behind on the development of the project. Based on the tweets it doesn’t appear as though OtherSide will be involved with System Shock going forward. Night Dive Studios, who still holds the rights to the System Shock IP, is working on a remake of the first game independently. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/03/19/system-shock-3-in-engine-teaser"] Tencent is one of China’s largest video game corporations and primarily focuses on mobile games. The studio has shown interest in expanding to triple-A development after reports that the company hired Kojima Productions co-founder Ken-Ichiro Imaizumi and Halo 4 lead designer Scott Warner.

Devolver Digital has announced that Serious Sam 4 will launch on Steam and Google Stadia this August. Along with the announcement, Devolver dropped a new trailer for the title. Serious Sam 4 is a prequel to the rest of the series, and the trailer gives us a good look at the updated enemy design in the game. You can check out the new trailer here: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/20/serious-sam-4-planet-badass-cinematic-trailer"] On the Serious Sam Steam page, Devolver Digital has posted a number of other Serious Sam 4 videos, including looks at battles, enemies, weapons, music, and the legion system, which allows thousands of enemies to exist on the battlefield. Additionally, the entire Serious Sam main series is currently on sale. Serious Sam 4 will also include a co-op mode, where up to four players can tackle primary campaign missions and side quests together. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=serious-sam-4-screenshots&captions=true"] Croteam and Devolver Digital have been silent about Serious Sam 4 for quite some time. Serious Sam 4 was officially announced in April 2018, and besides a brief appearance at E3 2018, there's been no new information since the game's announcement.

After months and even years of campaigning by fans, stars, and Zack Snyder himself, the director of Man of Steel confirmed the "Snyder Cut" of Justice League will officially be released on HBO Max. Zack Snyder confirmed the cut's release for HBO Max in 2021 following a livestream watch-along of Man of Steel, which Superman himself Henry Cavill joined in at the stream's end to discuss. Warner Bros. confirmed the cut's release following the frequent campaigning of fans over recent years to #ReleasetheSnyderCut. [caption id="attachment_2354639" align="alignnone" width="720"] Snyder's Justice League director's cut will hit HBO Max[/caption] "I want to thank HBO Max and Warner Brothers for this brave gesture of supporting artists and allowing their true visions to be realized. Also a special thank you to all of those involved in the SnyderCut movement for making this a reality,” Snyder said in a statement alongside the announcement. According to THR, it's still unclear if the Snyder Cut will be released in episodic chapters or as a full director's cut, but the Snyders are reportedly currently "reassembling much of their original postproduction crew to score, cut, add new and finish old visual effects, and, yes, maybe bring back many of the actors to record additional dialogue." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-dceu-movie-review-score&captions=true"] HBO did not state a running time or name any specifics about what footage may be changed or altered for Snyder's director's cut of the film, which he stepped down from directing during Justice League production due to a family tragedy. Marvel's The Avengers director Joss Whedon stepped in to finish production for the film, which hit theaters in 2017. The version of Justice League that hit theaters was met with largely poor critical reception. Fan outcry for a cut that would have been true to Snyder's original version began almost immediately after the film's release, but we first received word in 2018 that WB wasn't planning to release a Snyder Cut., and following that came word that Henry Cavill would possibly be leaving the role of Superman. Still, fans continued to push for the Snyder Cut's release, with fans in 2019 even flying a banner over San Diego Comic-Con highlighting the campaign to release the cut, with billboards around New York Comic-Con signaling the same that year. [poilib element="poll" parameters="id=4f7e8ff8-1b99-4e59-9e51-55a68d245765"] In November 2019, Aquaman star Jason Momoa claimed to have seen the Snyder Cut, but by the end of 2019, we were still not expecting a Snyder Cut to be released despite the cast's endorsements. There even came word at the time that the, by this point, fabled Snyder Cut was not properly finished, casting doubt on whether it could have been shown to anyone yet. But before 2019 ended, Zack Snyder himself seemingly confirmed the cut existed. The director further increased curiosity, posting photos of Cavill's Superman in a black suit that didn't appear in the film. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/11/15/justice-league-review"] With Snyder's teases, fan fervor for the cut's release only grew, and we recently tracked the history of the Snyder Cut ahead of this recent announcement.

A group of Japanese and North American publishers will hold a New Game+ Expo to showcase 40 games from SEGA, ATLUS, and more. As events like Gamescom move to a fully-digital showcase this year while other video game conference mainstays like E3 have cancelled its 2020 production altogether due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, companies are finding new ways to showcase the games they have coming this year and beyond. Announced May 20, 14 publishers from North America and Japan will join together on June 23 to showcase 40 games. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=confirmed-playstation-5-games&captions=true"] "New Game+ Expo is a grassroots coalition of publishers and developers," New Game+ Expo's Adam Johnson said. "Organizing together for the first time, we hope fans have fun as we take a look at the combined lineup of games for 2020 and beyond." This showcase of games will join the likes of Microsoft's Xbox 20/20 monthly updates, Guerrilla Collective's indie game showcase, Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, and even IGN's very own Summer of Gaming event. The following publishers will show games during the New Game+ Expo: Acttil, AKSYS Games, Arc System Works America, GungHo America, Idea Factory International, Inti Creates, KOEI TECMO America, Nasume Inc., NIS America, Inc., PLAYISM, Sega of America, SNK Corporation, Spike Chunsoft, Inc., and WayForward. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/04/how-coronavirus-is-impacting-the-games-industry"] As to what games or franchises we can expect to see, that information is currently unknown. The New Game+ Expo will stream on Twitch on June 23 at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. ET with trailers from the stream hitting YouTube shortly after. Other gaming events are going the digital route too such as the Game Developers Conference, which shifted to an all-digital summer event in August.
