After seven long weeks of challenges, the highly anticipated Deadpool skin has finally arrived in Fortnite. The skin is available for free as long as you own the Battle Pass, but you will have to complete a handful of challenges to unlock it. The skin has been teased ever since the launch of Fortnite Chapter 2: Season 2 when fans noticed a few Deadpool appearances in the trailers for the new season. Shortly after that, challenges began appearing in Deadpool's bunker, allowing players to unlock apparel items like his famous katanas, themed weapon wraps, and some different sprays and emotes.

How to Unlock the Deadpool Skin in Fortnite

If you're wondering how to unlock the Deadpool skin, you'll need to complete a set of 14 rather simple challenges. Our official Fortnite wiki page has a complete list of all the challenges as well as step-by-step guides that will show you how to complete each challenge. If you're all caught up, then you'll just need to complete the two final challenges that released today, April 3. The first will task players with tracking down both of Deadpool's pistols and the second challenge will require players to find a phone booth or porta potty and change into the Deadpool skin. Once you've finished off both of those challenges, you'll be awarded the coveted skin. Additionally, it looks like Epic isn't quite done with Deadpool yet, as there is a placeholder for another set of challenges next week. While we wait to see what's next, be sure to check out the new Battle Bus and Yacht, as they have been taken over by Deadpool.

AMC Theatres, America's largest movie cinema chain, has had its credit rating downgraded to reflect an "imminent" risk of defaulting due to the impact of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Wrap reports that S&P Global downgraded its credit rating for AMC Entertainment to CCC- from B on Thursday, taking the company's outlook from "Highly speculative" to "Default imminent, with little prospect for recovery," as the agency forecast the closure of AMC Theatres to extend beyond June. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/13/how-coronavirus-delays-are-impacting-2020-movies-ign-now"] "We do not believe AMC has sufficient sources of liquidity to cover its expected negative cash flows past mid-summer, and we believe the company will likely breach its 6x net senior secured leverage covenant when tested on Sept. 30, 2020, absent a waiver from its lenders," S&P analysts wrote in a ratings note. According to Deadline, AMC was the first theatre chain to address the COVID-19 pandemic, as the company closed its 634 locations across the US and Canada and 120 venues in the UK and Ireland, operated under Odeon, on March 17 to help slow the spread of the virus. Then, on March 25, the company announced that it had furloughed its corporate employees, including its CEO Adam Aron, as part of a plan to "preserve cash and to ensure that AMC can reopen our doors once this health crisis has dissipated." However, even after significantly lowering its fixed costs and capital spending requirements, S&P analysts predict the company's liquidity sources to only "last through mid-summer," so AMC might have to try to secure additional liquidity through the CARES act or its lenders. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Though it's unlikely, S&G said it could consider raising the rating if "AMC were able to secure additional liquidity without further burdening its capital structure and if we expected the company would be able to generate substantial cash flow in 2021." Meanwhile, many drive-in movie theatres have experienced a sudden surge of interest from cinephiles looking for an alternative to movie-watching in isolation. A number of the 305 outdoor venues across America reported an increase in business shortly after the majority of traditional brick-and-mortar movie theatres temporarily closed their doors.

Crucible, a sci-fi PvP shooter developed by Amazon’s Relentless studio, will release in May. The New York Times reports that Crucible was due to be revealed in early March and released on the last day of that month, but the impact of the coronavirus on marketing meant this date was pushed back to April 14 and then once more to May, in order to relieve pressure on the teams involved. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/03/new-world-hands-on-with-amazons-open-world-mmorpg"] Very little is currently known about Crucible. It was first announced in 2016 at TwitchCon, where it was said to be a class-based last-man-standing game. However, The New York Times claims that it has been “redesigned many times” during development, so it remains to be seen exactly what mechanics it uses. The class system does owe learnings to League of Legends and Dota 2, though, so expect something with a hero shooter vibe. Amazon Game Studios’ website does list Crucible, and describes it as “a fight for survival and control. Not only will you be going toe-to-toe with your fellow competitors, but you’ll have to adapt and overcome all the challenges the planet itself throws your way. You and your teammates will need to work together to take down alien creatures, capture objectives, and pursue your opponents in search of victory.” It appears that there are PvE elements alongside its competitive goals, too. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=all-the-big-games-coming-in-2020&captions=true"] Crucible is not the only game in development within Amazon’s portfolio of studios. Also due to release in May is New World, the MMO that the studio has been pretty open about over the last year or so. It’s also, according to The NY Times, working on Project Tempo, a cloud-based platform that will likely prove a competitor to Google’s Stadia. On top of that, there’s also a new The Lord of the Rings MMO in production, too. For more on Amazon’s games, check out our preview of New World and how it’s massive PvP battles stand out.

Platinum Games has updated its Platinum 4 website - created to reveal four new announcements from the company - with a fifth entry titled 'Bonus Stage'. You can see the new addition for yourself by heading to the Platinum 4 website and waiting at the top of the page. Initially, you'll only see the previous four announcements, but after a short wait, the screen aberrates and shakes, revealing the 'Bonus Stage' message and adding an extra star to the existing four. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/26/the-wonderful-101-remastered-release-date-clip"] The star is tagged with "XX.XX.2020" and clicking on it bears no new information. All we can glean from this is that there is another Platinum announcement coming this year. When is anyone's guess, especially given the mischief Platinum has been up to during the past week. Platinum teased players by revealing its fourth 'announcement' on April Fools Day. The joke game turned out to be Sol Cresta, a side-scrolling shooter to be made in collaboration with HAMSTER Corporation. Fans were confused due to the realistic premise of the joke, but the announcement is now tagged with "Happy April Fool's Day" on the website, seemingly confirming that it's not really in development. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/26/project-gg-teaser-trailer"] Fans will be hopeful for more news on the company's long in-development Bayonetta 3 or more gameplay from Platinum's fantasy-skewed Square Enix collaboration, Babylon's Fall. It almost definitely won't be a return for cancelled Xbox project Scalebound, after Phil Spencer told us the game was definitely not a going concern. Platinum's mysterious string of reveals comprises the studio's first self-published title, Project G.G., a remaster of The Wonderful 101, which is coming to Steam, PS4 and Nintendo Switch in May and the reveal of a new Tokyo studio, which will make new kinds of games for the action-focused developer.

Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths is the monster-focused next set for Magic: The Gathering. We've got an exclusive card, Death's Oasis, to show off, not to mention a rundown of all the new mechanics coming when Ikoria is released for Magic the Gathering: Arena and Magic Online on April 16. Fittingly for a set about monsters (amazingly, including the actual Godzilla), Ikoria's new and key mechanics all centre around working with your kaiju-sized new additions to the deck. We had Magic's lead product designer, Mike Turian break down each one: Mutate - "To Mutate a creature, you pay its Mutate cost targeting a non-Human creature that you own. This combines the two (or more!) creatures into one with all of the abilities of both creatures! If the creature you targeted had Auras or counters on it, the new combination will keep everything that was already there. Lots of the Mutate creatures give you a bonus for successfully mutating, you get that bonus each and every time you Mutate! Mutate was our way to express how the monsters of Ikoria have recently been evolving rapidly due to an awakening of mysterious crystals. Previously, the humans of Ikoria would be able to create defenses that would keep the monsters at bay but recently monsters have been mutating so quickly that the humans barely stand a chance!" Companion – "With Companion, you get a chance to start with a one-shot guaranteed extra card ready to cast from the start of the game sort of like it was in your opening hand. Now, in order to get this to happen, you will have had to build your deck around the Companion restriction that that each Companion has. Every Companion restriction is different and building your deck around it is part of the fun! Even if you aren’t hitting the Companion challenge, you can always add your Companion to your deck just like it was any other Magic card. Ikoria is a set about monsters. One piece of this is capturing how monsters connect with the humans of the world. In Ikoria, monsters and humans are on equal footing, in order to bond with one another both the monster and the human must be agreeable to the connection. We wanted the new Companion mechanic to capture this connection and bring that right to our players." Ability Counters – "Ability Counters are a great way to represent how the creatures of Ikoria grow and change. Typically in a game of Magic, effects that are granted are temporary. +1/+1 counters have always stuck around for as long as the creature was on the battlefield and with Ability Counters we have expanded the types of effects that will continue past end of turn. Now you can grant permanent flying, trample, menace, etc. and the Ikoria Commander decks even let you grant permanent indestructibility! The landscape of Ikoria is filled with mysterious crystals that have begun to radiate causing the monsters to evolve at an accelerated rate. Ability Counters were our way to represent this evolution through a permanent gameplay enhancement." Cycling - "Cycling came about from a practical sense. While Cycling has appeared in many Magic sets and is a well-loved mechanic, with Ikoria it helped us solve the issue that would occur as your hand filled up with too many giant monsters! Sometimes it just makes sense to cycle into a few more lands so that you can start casting all of those behemoths." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/03/magic-the-gathering-arena-ikoria-lair-of-behemoths-official-trailer"] Our exclusive card reveal is for Death's Oasis - and it's less a monster than a monster's graveyard. This three-colour enchantment is designed to capitalise on the beefy monsters in your deck, using their deaths to allow for new life to pop unexpectedly out of your deck at little cost. Check out both designs of the card below, and Mike Turian's explanation of its strengths, weaknesses and origins below: IGN: Could you briefly explain the strengths and weaknesses of this card for a beginner? Mike Turian: "Death’s Oasis has a lot of strengths going for it. For starters it can supply a virtually endless supply of creatures. The fact that every time one of your nontoken creatures dies, you get to bring back a creature to your hand from your graveyard means that once Death’s Oasis gets going there isn’t much to stop it. There are two added bonuses as well. The 2-card mill means that you will get some new options to return to your hand with each creature that dies. The second bonus is that you can sacrifice it for some additional life you are in need of a few extra life to stay alive. "As for weaknesses, Death’s Oasis needs to combine with creatures as it doesn’t do anything without getting some creatures into play. So Death’s Oasis won’t win you the game by itself but once you have some creatures in play and others in your graveyard, that is when it really shines." IGN: How might this card combo with others in the set? MT: "Ikoria is a set filled with monsters, both big and small. This is exactly what a card like Death’s Oasis wants! Fill your deck up with creatures and Death’s Oasis and you can start tasting victory!" IGN: Where did the design process for this card begin? MT: "I believe a lot of the inspiration for this card came from the Soulshift mechanic in Kamigawa block. We knew we wanted an enchantment for each of the three-color wedges and this wedge was taking on some elements of recursion. This design felt like a good match for that game play, while providing some fun deckbuilding considerations, and giving the sense that nature keeps coming back for more." IGN: How do you see this card affecting Limited or Constructed play? MT: "In Limited, once Death’s Oasis comes out, you will be able to trade creatures without repercussion. It is a Rare though, so it won’t be available that often in Limited. For Constructed, we see it fitting more into either sideboards for Standard or slotted perfectly into WBG Commander decks. WBG Commander decks are often filled with creatures and recursion so Death’s Oasis is likely a perfect fit!" Ikoria: Lair of the Behemoths will be released for digital Magic: The Gathering games on April 16, with a physical release to follow on May 15. [poilib element="accentDivider"]
