As recently as last week, we'd been saying that Sony's silence on PS5 had been deafening, and this should go some way towards solving that issue - although Sony hasn't confirmed exactly what will be discussed in tomorrow's showing. As per Nibel on Twitter, a now-removed tweet from PlayStation Japan indicated that this showing was originally part of Sony's GDC presentations, indicating that this is far more likely to be a technical showcase than an announcement of games, or potentially even a reveal of what the consumer version of the console looks like. Some of what we officially know about the console right now is that it's called PlayStation 5, it's scheduled for release during Holiday 2020, that it will feature a solid state drive to help ease loading times, will support ray tracing, and will be backwards compatible with PS4 games. There's more we've learned through less official means - patents have seemingly revealed the controller design, someone took pictures of what seems to be the devkit, and a leak may have shown off some of its specs early. [ignvideo url="https://uk.ign.com/videos/sonys-ps5-silence-is-deafening-next-gen-console-watch"] This news comes hot on the heels of Microsoft's reveal of the full Xbox Series X specs yesterday, which also showed off the console's size, and how its controller had changed.

It appears that a new villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been named after a real-life grandmother who became famous after her grandson made a video showing off her 3,500+ hour Animal Crossing: New Leaf save game.

We have an official name for the new Wolf villager in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and her name is Audie! She may be named after the grandma who went viral last year for her 3500+ hours in New Leaf.

As noted by Animal Crossing World on Twitter, the new wolf villager in New Horizons has been revealed to be called Audie. The 88-year old Animal Crossing fan is called Audrey, but her in-game Mayor persona is known as Audie. While there has been no official confirmation from Nintendo, it does appear to be a hat-tip towards one of Animal Crossing’s most dedicated fans. Audrey will, naturally, be joining in the fun when New Horizons launches. Last year her grandson Paul tweeted that she has now got a Nintendo Switch and is ready to play.

Production on James Cameron's Avatar sequels has been halted in New Zealand due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19. Speaking to The New Zealand Herald, producer Jon Landau confirmed that the crew had postponed production ahead of a block of shoots in Wellington's Stone Street Studios, scheduled for April, while Wellington-based VFX company Weta Digital continues to work on the sequels amid the current hiatus. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/08/10/james-cameron-on-why-avatar-sequels-spirituality-is-essential"] "We've delayed it. We had plans to come down Friday night with a group of people and start back up and we made the decision to hold off and continue working here [Los Angeles], and come down there a little bit later than we'd planned," Landau told the outlet. "We're in the midst of a global crisis and this is not about the film industry. I think everybody needs to do now whatever we can do, as we say here, to flatten the [coronavirus] curve." Landau explained that he couldn't give a timeframe for when filming in New Zealand would resume, but confirmed that he and Cameron would be reassessing the production schedule on a daily basis "because that's how quickly things change." "We try and monitor all this and look at things and think about what is in the best interest of our crew. I call it our Avatar family. That is really paramount to us above anything," he said, adding how it had now become a priority to get "as many minutes" of VFX work sent across to Weta Digital to enable the team to progress with their digital effects tasks while the main production is paused. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Disney is expected to release a new Avatar movie every other year between December 2021 and December 2027, all of which will continue the story of Jake Sully, the Na'vi and the other heroes of Pandora. While the Avatar sequels are put on hold and join a growing list of TV and movie productions on hiatus, there are a number of important things that you can do to help, and stay safe, during the Coronavirus pandemic.

Slightly Mad Studios’ Fast & Furious Crossroads may not launch in May 2020 as originally planned, Codemasters has revealed in a note to investors, via GamesRadar. Citing the fact that Universal Pictures has delayed the release of F9 until April 2021 (11 months later than originally scheduled), Codemasters has admitted “[t]iming for the launch of [Fast & Furious Crossroads] is now uncertain.” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/13/fast-furious-crossroads-reveal-trailer"] “Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe is working closely with our partners at Universal Games and Digital Platforms regarding the F9 film’s newly announced theatrical release date of April 2021,” continues the Codemasters statement. “While not directly tied to the film, news and updates pertaining to the Fast & Furious Crossroads game will be shared once they become available.” “The development team at Slightly Mad Studios and Codemasters will continue to finalise the Game as planned.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=screens-fast-and-furious-crossroads&captions=true"] Fast & Furious Crossroads was announced during The Game Awards in December 2019 by franchise stars Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, who will also be playing their Fast characters Dom and Letty in the game itself. The project was first hinted at back in 2017. Fast & Furious Crossroads and Project CARS developer Slightly Mad Studios was acquired by Codemasters in November 2019. While the spread of covid-19 has resulted in a huge number of release delays and stalled productions, more importantly there are number of things you can do to stay safe during this pandemic.

UPDATE! Warner Bros. Home Entertainment officially announced the early digital release of Birds of Prey on Tuesday. On March 24, Birds of Prey and the Fabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn will be available to own in high definition and standard definition from select digital retailers including Amazon, FandangoNOW, iTunes, PlayStation, Vudu, Xbox and others.

• Birds Eye View Mode
• Birds of Prey: Birds of a Feather
• Grime and Crime
• Wild Nerds
• Romanesque
• Sanity is Sooo Last Season
• A Love/Skate Relationship

Our original report follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Warner Bros. will release Birds of Prey to digital storefronts earlier than expected, according to Variety. It will be available from March 24 at an expected price of USD $20. Variety reports it will also be available to rent in April. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/05/birds-of-prey-review] The news comes as cinemas begin to close around the world and the entertainment industry continues to wrestle with the ramifications of the global covid-19 coronavirus pandemic. The decision from Warner Bros. to bump up Birds of Prey’s home release follows word from Universal Studios that several of its films that are currently in the middle of their theatrical runs would become available digitally as early as Friday, March 20. Earlier today Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan claimed via Twitter she would not be opposed to the idea of making Birds of Prey available on VOD faster than intended. IGN’s review of Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) called the film “an anarchic glitterbomb of lunacy that boasts some of the most inventive fight sequences ever seen in a comic book movie”, although it was not able to soar as high at the box office as any previous DCEU film. While the spread of covid-19 has resulted in a huge number of release delays and stalled productions, more importantly there are number of things you can do to stay safe during this pandemic.

While many of us are working from home, staying home from school, and hunkering down, there will be lots of time to play games, read comics, and stream TV and movies. But between these distractions, we hope you all stay safe and, if you can, help others.

Staying Safe

The CDC guidelines on how to protect yourselves and others can be found here. These include what you’ve probably heard already:

• Stay home if you are sick
• Avoid person-to-person contact
• Wash your hands for at least 20 (real) seconds
• Clean and disinfect regularly handled surfaces, especially your phones! Apple recommends using a 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipe or Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.

The rest of CDC’s guidelines page is helpful, with good tips even if you don’t live in the US, so please check it out.

How to Help

Even if we’re being told to maintain safe distances from one another, we can still find creative ways to help each other out -- and to help out those in need. https://www.feedingamerica.org/ Feeding America has a great tool that lets you look up local food banks and donate to them. With runs on food in stores despite supply not being curbed in any way, the most vulnerable will need access to food. https://www.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/ According to the CDC, “Older adults and people who have severe underlying chronic medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness.” Meals on Wheels delivers food to vulnerable seniors in local communities. Meal deliveries can help sustain the CDC recommended social isolation guidelines.

Local Help and Safety

Finally, do a search locally for how you can help. Local papers have great lists of local places in need. Check out these lists of places to help for New York residents and Boston residents, for example. Many local food producers and restaurants are open (and also in need of your support), so get food delivered, if need be, or practice the safe behavior above when venturing out your local restaurants and grocers. Here are some of the latest local guidelines for staying safe and healthy in populous US regions; your region is likely just a search away.

• New York State Public Safety Guidelines
• Illinois Public Safety Guidelines
• California Public Safety Guidelines
• Los Angeles County Public Safety Guidelines
• San Francisco Bay Area Public Safety Guidelines
• Washington State Public Safety Guidelines
• Florida State Public Safety Guidelines
• Texas State Public Safety Guidelines

For international readers, please also search for local ways to stay safe. For English language readers worldwide, here are some helpful links:

• Canada Public Safety Guidelines
• UK Public Safety Guidelines
• Australia Public Safety Guidelines

We plan to bring you our regular coverage of podcasts, shows, guides, and news about all of the stuff you can play and watch at home. That means we’ll be taking some steps to protect ourselves -- like working from home, instead of from our offices and studios. You can expect our shows and other videos to look a little different as we shift to remote dial-ins and streaming. Stay safe.

Regal Cinemas, the second-largest movie chain in the U.S., will close all of its stateside movie theater locations starting Tuesday, March 17, in response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the company will close 543 Regal Cinemas theaters across the country. After a White House press conference took place on Monday, the U.S. government recommended Americans avoid gatherings of more than 10 people. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Regal Cinemas owner Cineworld's CEO Mooky Greidinger, spoke to THR further about the closings: "Any time, at any Regal, it's our goal to provide a safe and healthy environment for our employees and guests. At this time, we have made the difficult decision to close our theaters. We value our movie-loving customers and have no doubt we will be serving them again as soon as possible with a full slate of Hollywood blockbusters." THR says to expect more U.S. cinemas to announce closings soon as well. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/13/how-coronavirus-delays-are-impacting-2020-movies-ign-now"] Over the last few days, movie theaters across the U.S. and Europe have responded to the COVID-19 virus. AMC Theatres capped audience attendance and all New York City and L.A. theaters were ordered closed. Many theatre chains across Europe have announced shutdowns, with France outright closing them. This news follows several studios halting production on movies like Uncharted earlier on Monday, The Matrix 4, and many others mentioned in our ongoing list here.

WWE has called off WrestleMania 36 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida due to the coronavirus outbreak, but it has not cancelled, nor postponed, the event. The company's flagship PPV is still scheduled to take place on Sunday, April 5, but now the entire card will happen in the WWE Performance Center in Orlando with no fans, only essential personnel, in attendance. Here is WWE's official statement:

"In coordination with local partners and government officials, WrestleMania and all related events in Tampa Bay will not take place. However, WrestleMania will still stream live on Sunday, April 5 at 7 pm ET on WWE Network and be available on pay-per-view. Only essential personnel will be on the closed set at WWE’s training facility in Orlando, Florida to produce WrestleMania."

The other "related events" that have been called off in Tampa are the Axxess fan convention, the annual WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, SmackDown, Monday Night RAW, and NXT TakeOver: Tampa. As it stands now, all those events, except Axxess, will probably also emanate from the Performance Center, but that has not been made official yet. WWE recently held the March 13 edition of SmackDown, which was originally supposed to happen at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, at the Performance Center. The March 16 episode of Monday Night RAW is also happening there. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] WrestleMania 36 will features Roman Reigns vs. Goldberg, John Cena vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt, Edge vs. Randy Orton, and Becky Lynch vs. Shayna Baszler. WWE's most recent PPV, Elimination Chamber, took place on March 8 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The news comes after the NBA suspended the remainder of its current season following the news that a Utah Jazz player had tested positive for COVID-19. The following day, the NHL also paused its current season and Major League Baseball announced it would delay the start of the 2020 season by at least two weeks, in addition to suspending all Spring Training games. WrestleMania's cancellation is the latest in a string of high-profile event delays in response to the global coronavirus pandemic. In addition to gaming events like GDC and E3 being cancelled, the entertainment industry has responded to the coronavirus by nixing conferences and conventions like SXSW, WonderCon, and CinemaCon, while films are seeing their release dates pushed back, with upcoming Bond movie No Time to Die pushed back from April to November, Fast 9 shifting from May 22, 2020 back to April 2021, and A Quiet Place 2 delayed until an unspecified date.

Production has been shut down on Fargo Season 4 due to the coronavirus and the season will no longer debut on April 19. FX says the show will not be rescheduled for the current Emmy Award-qualifying period, which ends May 31. A new premiere date will be announced when production restarts. The network is hoping to release the season in 2020. Principal photography has wrapped on eight of the 10 episodes of the season. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] The new season of Fargo stars Chris Rock as a Kansas City gangster in 1950. Jason Schwartzman, Ben Whishaw, and Timothy Olyphant will also appear in Fargo Season 4. Rock's character is described as "a man who — in order to prosper — has surrendered his oldest boy to his enemy, and who must in turn raise his son’s enemy as his own. It’s an uneasy peace, but profitable. And then the head of the Kansas City mafia goes into the hospital for routine surgery and dies. And everything changes. It’s a story of immigration and assimilation, and the things we do for money. And as always, a story of basically decent people who are probably in over their heads. You know, Fargo." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/31/20-of-the-best-tv-shows-of-the-decade"] The first season of Fargo aired in spring 2014 and was followed by the second season in autumn 2015. The show was last on the air with its third season in spring 2017. The creator of Fargo, Noah Hawley, told reporters in early 2020 that he will jump right into directing Star Trek 4 after completing Fargo Season 4, though obviously that timeline may now be changing. Here's a list of every TV and movie production that's been delayed due to the coronavirus. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Petey Oneto is a freelance writer for IGN.
