Riot has revealed how Valorant’s competitive Ranked mode will work, at least during the closed beta. Similar to other competitive modes the upcoming Ranked modes will let players progress a rank ladder based on how well they play. First of all, the Ranked Mode will be introduced with the upcoming 0.49 update. There’s no release date yet for the update, though Valorant game director Joe Ziegler says Riot is targeting sometime next week. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=gameplay-screenshots-of-valorant-closed-beta&captions=true"] Once live, players won’t be able to just queue up for Ranked mode. They’ll need to complete 20 Unrated matches to unlock Competitive mode. Once unlocked, there will be 8 ranks with 3 tiers each except for the final rank, Valorant. Like other ranked modes, players will progress up the ladder based on their win-loss ratio. Win a match and you’ll gain experience to move up the ranks. Lose a match and you’ll potentially drop down the ladder. While game wins are the most important factor in ranking up, Riot says personal performance will also be taken into account. So even if your team loses, if you perform well you may not suffer as much. [caption id="attachment_2342791" align="alignnone" width="1920"] The 8 Ranks in Valorant.[/caption] “Your personal performance will have a greater impact on the early evaluation of your skill, but will decrease in importance when compared to wins, as we hone in on your skill over time,” writes Valorant senior producer Ian “Brighteyz” Fielding in a new blog post. Another factor taken into account is how “decisively” you win or lose. Meaning you’ll be given more experience if you win by 10 points instead of 3 points. Same with how decisively your team loses. Players will also have the option to join a ranked game with a full party of 5. Matchmaking will take into account this setup and try to only match you with another full party. Furthermore, party members can only join if they are within 2 ranks (6 tiers) of you. This is to make sure there’s not a huge skill gap between party members. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/03/6-minutes-of-valorant-gameplay"] Riot says that since this is a closed beta, Competitive Mode could be taken offline to make changes based on player feedback. Once Valorant goes live, your rank will not carry over to the official launch version of the game. For more on Riot’s new shooter, check out IGN’s Valorant review in progress.

Fortnite’s Travis Scott Astronomical event saw 12.3 million players tuning in when it debuted April 23rd, setting a new all-time concurrent player record. That eclipsed the last in-game concert, which Marshmello headlined and brought in10.7 million concurrent players in February 2019, as well as “The End” event, arguably Fortnite’s biggest gameplay-related event. “The End,” which saw Fortnite servers shut down while a black whole reset the world for Fortnite: Chapter 2, only pulled in six million players. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/24/full-fortnite-x-travis-scott-astronomical-concert"] If you missed the first part of this event, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to participate in the next coming dates and times from April 24 and 25:

• THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2020 AT 4:00:00 PM PDT
• FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2020 AT 7:00:00 AM PDT
• FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 2020 AT 9:00:00 PM PDT
• SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020 AT 8:00:00 AM PDT
• SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2020 AT 3:00:00 PM PDT

  Fortnite developers called this Astronomical event a “one of a kind musical journey,” featuring Travis Scott and the world premiere of a brand new track “The Scotts.” The event started with Travis arriving in-game in his personalized meteor and exploding onto the stage area at Sweaty Sands (to the beat of his hit song “Sicko Mode” of course) as a giant-sized version of himself where he rapped and danced to the rest of the song’s chorus while traversing around the map. The sky exploded into a vibrant shade of red while fireballs began to rain down on players as Travis rapped the second part of his song “Stargazing” while becoming part-cyborg. His cyborg form stuck around while he sang “Goosebumps,” during which flowing colorful neon lights you’d find in a glow-in-the-dark psychedelic party began to appear in the darkened sky. After finishing his performance of “Goosebumps,” Travis fell back onto the map and splashed into the ocean, teleporting players to the depths of the water where he started to perform “Highest in the Room” in his scuba diving Fortnite skin. The event then threw players were out of the ocean and into an area with a laser show while Travis rapped “Like A Light” before flying players through the skies with the much anticipated debut of his new song featuring Kid Cudi, “The Scotts.” The event culminated by shooting players through a butterfly rift in the sky and teleporting them back into the normal world of Fortnite. Travis Scott dropped the full track at midnight on April 23rd after the event launched. After the event’s debut, Travis tweeted:

HONESTLY TODAY WAS ONE OF THE MOST INSPIRING DAYS. LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF U GUYS. AND I KNOW TIMES ARE WEIRD FOR US. BUT FOR ONE MOMENT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE RAGERS TO RAGE WHERE EVER YOU ARE IS AMAZING. LOVE U GUYS WITH ALL MY BODY. !!!!! GANG

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=games-that-came-back-from-the-brink-of-disaster&captions=true"] Not only did this in-game performance break records, it also brought to light a new way for people to experience music. One of the many ways the COVID-19 pandemic has affected life around the world is the mass cancellation of major concerts and music events, including any tours artists or bands may have had in mind for 2020. Fortnite’s collaboration with Travis Scott brought a unique musical experience for not just gamers but for anyone for free. The concert required no ticket or travel, just the ability to download Fortnite (a free game), and hop online. The event channeled the trappings of a live concert — a major artist, impressive staging — and married it with the virtual, malleable world of Fortnite. The show could take players beyond whatever real-world theater they might have seen it in, and offered an experience built with obvious care and thought to what putting it into a game would mean. Wherever Travis went, the players were right there with him, going through his musical journey together. Astronomical brought together people who weren’t necessarily dedicated fans of Fortnite to this showcase. It’s an innovative, intimate way to experience concerts virtually. When Marshmello put on his in-game concert, it was like a stage show you’d go to for a music festival. Astronomical put participants at the heart of the event and attempted to channel the music into the game’s world, rather than just playing it through Fortnite. Whether we see more events like this in Fortnite or other games, the Astronomical event has set an exciting precedent for making a virtual concert both accessible and thoughtfully crafted in a way we’ve rarely seen in gaming before. Concert performers and creative producers didn’t have to worry about how to get people to see Travis Scott’s performance, whether due to location, physical limitations of a venue and its accessibility options, or other reasons. Instead, anyone with access to a free game could experience the same unique performance together.. This could be a step in paving the way toward providing safe, individualized, yet still immersive musical experiences, while also bringing entirely new or lapsed audiences into the world of games..

Another iconic Star Wars character will appear in the upcoming Cassian Andor series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Genevieve O'Reilly is set to reprise her role as Senator Mon Mothma for the Disney+ series. This will mark O'Reilly's fourth time playing the Rebel Alliance leader. She debuted in the role in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, though few of her filmed scenes made it into the final cut. O'Reilly later returned to voice Mothma in Star Wars Rebels and appear in live-action in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-upcoming-star-wars-movie&captions=true"] Along with O'Reilly, THR also reports The Kid Who Would Be King actress Denise Gough has joined the cast, though it's unknown what character she'll be playing. The Cassian Andor series is also experiencing changes behind-the-scenes. THR reveals Tony Gilroy is taking over as showrunner, replacing Stephen Schiff. Gilroy, who was brought in to write and direct reshoots on Rogue One, was already on board to write for the series and direct multiple episodes. O'Reilly and Gough are joining a cast that also features Diego Luna reprising the role of Rebel spy Cassian Andor and Alan Tudyk voicing cantankerous assassin droid K-2SO, along with Star Wars newcomers Stellan Skarsgard and Kyle Stoller. VFX supervisor Neal Scanlan has also hinted the series might re-purpose unused characters/creatures from past Star Wars projects. While no release date has been revealed yet, Luna previously confirmed that the untitled Rogue One prequel series will begin filming this year. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/20/star-wars-writers-reveal-hidden-secrets-of-rogue-one"] Elsewhere in the Star Wars TV universe, The Mandalorian Season 2 has reportedly cast Rosario Dawson as fan-favourite character Ahsoka Tano. Meanwhile, the Obi-Wan Kenobi series production was pushed back until 2021. Disney has also tapped Russian Doll creator Leslye Headland to helm a new show Deadline describes as "a female-centric series that takes place in a different part of the Star Wars timeline than other projects."

Back in the 1990s, long before the MCU existed, the screen rights to Marvel's many characters were dealt out to various studios, with several movies in development at the time that never got made and several that soon eventually did (Blade, X-Men, Spider-Man). One unrealized Marvel movie from the 1990s was 20th Century Fox's Silver Surfer, which was to have been directed by Aussie filmmaker Geoffrey Wright (1992's Romper Stomper). Now, a storyboard artist who worked on the project has revealed some artwork from the film -- and revealed the two actors who were reportedly up for the lead roles. In a series of revealing tweets (via THR), artist Gabriel Hardman revealed storyboards for a series of movies he worked on that never got made, including 1997's Silver Surfer. Hardman said Wright "wanted Ewan McGregor as Surfer and Steven Berkoff as Galactus." You can see his storyboards in the tweet below.

Here are some boards from the unmade Silver Surfer (1997). I couldn't find much. pic.twitter.com/KafXcaAHiS

In 1997, McGregor was coming off the success of indie films like Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, and Emma and was still a few years away from joining the Star Wars franchise as young Obi-Wan Kenobi. Berkoff, meanwhile, is a veteran stage and screen actor and playwright who played the villain in Octopussy, Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Beverly Hills Cop. Back when studios still deemed comic book movies a risky prospect and visual effects were prohibitively expensive, Hardman revealed that "Surfer spent most of the movie as a human because vfx would have been too costly then." While the Silver Surfer movie obviously never got made, the character did make his feature film debut in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (portrayed by Doug Jones and voiced by Laurence Fishburne). McGregor, meanwhile, went on to play the villain Black Mask in this year's Birds of Prey.

Ever since The Office ended in 2013, fans have been clamoring for a reunion - and despite pretty much everyone involved admitting that reassembling the busy and successful cast would be a gargantuan task, there could be a glimmer of hope on the horizon (especially following the news that the Parks and Recreation cast is reuniting for a scripted special for charity). IGN spoke to The Office showrunner (and Parks and Rec co-creator) Greg Daniels ahead of the launch of his two upcoming streaming shows - Amazon's Upload (premiering May 1), and Netflix's Space Force (releasing May 29), which reunites Daniels with Office star Steve Carell - about the continued interest around an Office reunion, and whether he and Carell have discussed the possibility. "It’s so personally satisfying for me to work with Steve again, and I have talked with Steve about the fact that in a year or so we’re gonna start on Peacock as a rerun and I’m sure that they would love something, some sort of a… something," Daniels told IGN. "I’m a little reluctant to open up the characters’ endings because we wrote specifically to an ending, but as we hang around we sometimes think about [it]. And there is a script that was written in Season 1; there was an extra script written that was never shot, called 'Pet Day,' so I don’t know, sometimes we joke around about gathering to do Pet Day." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/17/amazons-upload-season-1-official-trailer"] Rumors of an Office reunion have been percolating for years, with former NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt fanning the flames back in 2018 by publicly expressing interest in a revival. Ever since then, the cast and writers have been grilled about a potential reunion at every opportunity - soon after Greenblatt's comments, star John Krasinski told IGN, "I love the idea of coming back together... I think it'd be impossible to get us all together to do a run of the series, but [British shows] have the Christmas specials." Carell then staged a mini-reunion when he hosted Saturday Night Live, with former co-stars Ellie Kemper, Ed Helms, and Jenna Fischer jokingly harassing him about returning for a reboot. Soon after, a number of cast members reunited at Daniels' home and recreated the character photo op from "A Benihana Christmas." More recently, Krasinski reunited with Carell for the first episode of his Some Good News webseries. "Some of the most fun memories, personally or professionally, are intertwined and connected with that show, without a doubt," Carell said. "Listen, I know everyone's talking about a reunion; hopefully one day, we just get to reunite as people, and just all get to say hi," Krasinski responded.
