Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold 11.77 million copies in its first 11 days on sale, making it the fastest selling Nintendo Switch game released so far. The figure was announced as part of today's Nintendo end-of-year earnings report, which counts sales until the end of March 31. Animal Crossing has gone onto sell 13.41 million units in its first 6 weeks on sale. On Nintendo's official chart of best-selling Switch games, it's in 7th place, but those subsequent sales likely put it above Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, which had 11.91 million sales at last count. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe remains the Switch's biggest seller by a distance, at just shy of 25 million copies sold. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/revealed-your-top-5-animal-crossing-new-horizons-villagers-power-ranking"] New Horizons is now already the best-selling game in the Animal Crossing franchise, surpassing Animal Crossing: New Leaf's 12.55 million lifetime sales. We awarded New Horizons a 9/10 review, calling it "an expanded, polished, next-generation reboot of a classic Nintendo game that's full of surprises." If you're one of the millions playing, check out all the fish and bugs you can catch this month, how to spot Redd's fake art, and learn about how some of the paintings you buy might be haunted.

Everything's got a price... except for John Wick, this Friday (May 8th) at 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET. The first John Wick will be live-streamed in its entirety for free on IGN's YouTube, the Lionsgate Movies YouTube page and Fandango's MovieClips YouTube page as part of the month-long Lionsgate LIVE! A Night at the Movies initiative. So cuddle up with your puppy (or dog... or whatever pet!) and get ready for some John Wick action. Previously installments of the Lionsgate program have seen the studio provide free streams of The Hunger Games, Dirty Dancing and La La Land in support of theater employees furloughed by the COVID-19 crisis. The special John Wick screening will be age-gated to users 18 and above, and will require users to sign in with an account and verify their age. The stream is also geo-gated to only United States and Canadian users. John Wick joins Lionsgate's free screening series in an effort to support the people who make the movies special; each live stream is benefiting the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation, which is dedicated to helping people who work in the motion picture industry and currently providing financial assistance to theater employees. Lionsgate Live! is encouraging donations to the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/03/john-wick-series-in-5-minutes"] John Wick has quickly become one of our favorite action franchises ever, and its titular hero, played by Keanu Reeves of course, is a character we keep wanting back. (Fortunately, John Wick 4 is still on the way.) That's why we at IGN are so excited to support this great cause and provide this movie for free in this special live stream since it not only is beloved to us, but also to all of you, our fans. Hosted by Jamie Lee Curtis, the John Wick free movie screening will feature pre-show interviews with series stars Reeves, Halle Berry, Lance Reddick, Asia Kate Dillon and directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch. And if you're looking for more weekly programming celebrating our love of movies, be sure to check out IGN's Watch From Home Theater, where we rewatch some of your favorite films -- from Jurassic Park to Rogue One -- live with the people who made them.

A video that surfaced online today supposedly for an unreleased Prince of Persia game was confirmed by former Ubisoft developers to be test footage for a canceled Prince of Persia pitch. The video was initially published on YouTube back in 2012 and has flown under the radar ever since. Titled Prince of Persia Redemption, the footage shows familiar elements from the Prince of Persia series including platforming and time-altering combat. Jonathan Cooper, a video game animator with credits on The Last of Us Part 2, Uncharted 4, Assassin’s Creed 3, and Mass Effect, revealed that the footage was a pre-rendered game pitch video created to simulate gameplay. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=canceled-prince-of-persia-redemption-screenshots&captions=true"] “Wow — haven’t seen this in ages. Amazing work from animation director Khai Nguyen (For Honor) and team. This target game footage (pre-rendered game pitch) inspired our own pitch for Assassin’s Creed 3[,]” Cooper Tweeted. In a follow-up Tweet, Cooper added, “Sadly Ubisoft are generally quicker to cancel Prince of Persia games than [other IPs] because [as far as I know] original creator Jordan Mechner still holds license rights so the profit margins are lower.” Cooper said that he would love to see a new Prince of Persia, preferably set in contemporary Iran. The footage is about three minutes long and shows a character, presumably the Prince, as he makes his way through a crumbling city. Along the way, he fights enemies, and time shifts a bit before a giant monster emerges from underneath the city. It’s been 10 years since a mainline console Prince of Persia game. The last video game release was Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands which was meant to coincide with the movie adaptation that was released that same year starring Jake Gyllenhaal. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2010/02/05/prince-of-persia-the-sands-of-time"] When reached by IGN for comment Ubisoft says that While “Prince of Persia is a beloved franchise and one that’s been important to Ubisoft’s development over the years” the studio doesn’t “have anything new to share at this time.” [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order will be the start of a new franchise, suggesting more games, including a Jedi: Fallen Order 2, are being planned. During an earnings call, EA CEO Andrew Wilson said that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is the “first title in an entirely new franchise.” This is the first official confirmation that Jedi: Fallen Order isn't a one-off adventure. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-star-wars-game-review&captions=true"] This isn’t too surprising considering the success Jedi: Fallen Order experienced critically and financially since its release. During an investor call last year, CFO Blake Jorgensen said that Jedi: Fallen Order “significantly beat our expectations” and was expected to sell 10 million units. Respawn has also put up job listings in recent months specifically looking to fill senior positions on the Star Wars team, a hint that Respawn was working on more Star Wars content. Given this, it's not too surprising that EA is pursuing potential sequels for such a successful title. Jedi: Fallen Order stars a brand new character named Cal Kestis, a former Jedi padawan in hiding after Order 66 killed most of the Jedis in the galaxy. The game is part of the official Star Wars canon and includes characters from other Star Wars media like the Second Sister. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/04/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order-free-update-dlc-trailer"] IGN praised Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, particularly its strong cast and strong gameplay that combines a Metroidvania with engaging lightsaber combat. Respawn also released free Jedi: Fallen Order DLC as part of the May 4th celebration that added a new challenge mode, new game plus, and additional costumes. Check out our Jedi: Fallen Order wiki for walkthroughs, tips, and more. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN.

Don't expect Black Mirror Season 6 to be released any time soon; creator Charlie Brooker revealed he isn't currently working on any new scripts for his dystopian anthology series. During an interview with Radio Times, Brooker explains that now is probably not the right time for more Black Mirror stories due to the novel coronavirus. "At the moment, I don’t know what stomach there would be for stories about societies falling apart, so I’m not working away on one of those," Brooker told Radio Times. "I’m sort of keen to revisit my comic skill set, so I’ve been writing scripts aimed at making myself laugh." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/01/05/top-10-black-mirror-episodes"] June 2019 was the last time we were treated to a new batch of Black Mirror episodes featuring stars like Anthony Mackie and Miley Cyrus. In our glowing review, we say, "Black Mirror's fifth season is one of the series' best, with a condensed batch of new stories that deliver great storytelling, interesting characters, and fascinating technologies that don't overshadow Charlie Brooker's deeply personal stories." If you find yourself missing Black Mirror, all of the seasons, including the interactive film Bandersnatch, are currently available to stream on Netflix. And if you just want more Brooker, his television review series -- Antiviral Swipe -- is coming back for a special one-off "quarantine special," which will premiere on BBC Two on Thursday, May 14 in the UK. For more Black Mirror, watch executive producers Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones pick their five favorite moments from the entire series and respond to some hilarious IGN comments.
