Update (11/21/20) - Reddit user RollieDell has discovered that a street in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was named after the late Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick Way has replaced 42nd Street in Miles Morales for PS5, and can be found between 1st and 3rd Avenue. The number 42 has a lot of meaning for both Boseman, as he starred as Jackie Robinson in the film 42. Furthermore, the number 42 appears in both the original Miles Morales comic and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as an homage to Robinson. Original story follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Spider-Man: Miles Morales includes tributes to two Marvel titans - Chadwick Boseman and Stan Lee - with a particularly heartfelt message for the king of Wakanda. In the newest Marvel's Spider-Man game, players will find all kinds of easter eggs and references to the greater Marvel universe. But one tribute isn't hidden at all but is one that certainly pulls at the heartstrings.

After beating Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a message memorializing Chadwick Boseman, who played the Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, plays during the credits. It reads:

"In loving memory of a noble king, Chadwick Boseman. His honor, strength, and compassion will reverberate for generations to come. Wakanda forever."

Boseman died in August 2020 at the age of 43 due to complications with colon cancer. Boseman kept the diagnosis private for years while continuing to act in films like Black Panther, Da 5 Bloods, and more. Miles Morales also includes another memorial, an in-game one, for Marvel's Stan Lee. A bronze statue of the legendary comic book creator can be found in the game's open-world on the Upper West Side next to Mick's Diner.

"With great powers comes great responsibility."

Lee, who died in 2018, made a cameo as the owner of Mick's diner in Marvel's Spider-Man for PS4. It was part of a long-running tradition of including Stan Lee in various Marvel projects over the years, whether it be in movies, books, or other. A tribute to Lee was also added to the Spider-Man PS4 credits post-launch. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/06/marvels-spider-man-miles-morales-review"] It's nice to see Miles Morales and the developers pay tribute to two Marvel greats, especially given how recent their deaths have been.

While speaking with us over the phone to promote our exclusive debut of the Chaos Walking trailer, Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley revealed that she's an avid viewer of The Mandalorian -- and had some thoughts on the furor over Baby Yoda's -- OK, The Child's -- bad behavior in a recent episode of the Disney+ series. After a year of being beloved for his adorable ways, Baby Yoda found himself mired in a public scandal after he ate the Frog Lady's eggs in the Season 2 episode "The Passenger." Her eggs would be, once fertilized by her husband, the last of their line. Unfortunately, the impishly curious and perpetually hungry Child helped himself to a few of the eggs along the way -- even after Mando told him to stop. The Child's actions prompted a social media backlash, with some users believing he was helping extinguish an endangered species or that he was eating actual living creatures (which, to be sure, he has done). Vanity Fair's cheeky headline adeptly summed up the backlash: "Baby Yoda Canceled Amid Accusations of Genocide." And while the subsequent episode saw Baby Yoda get his karmic comeuppance after he's attacked by not one but two creatures -- and even makes nice with the Frog Lady's newborn -- the damage done to Baby Yoda's once-pristine public image might prove irreversible for some. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-mandalorian-season-2&captions=true"] With that in mind, we asked Star Wars veteran Daisy Ridley what she thought of the backlash and, echoing Vanity Fair's headline, the tongue-in-cheek call to cancel Baby Yoda. For her part, Mandalorian viewer Ridley remains on Team Baby Yoda. "Oh, cancel culture," Ridley began, with a chuckle. "Look, Mando’s gotta eat, Yoda's got to get strong. That's just that." "I think it's funny, because in a way, The Mandalorian, I feel, is slightly closer to [her upcoming film] Chaos Walking, in a way, because of the western feel of it," Ridley observed. But Ridley didn't find Baby Yoda's egg-eating cause for objection. "No, I'm like, 'Yoda, do your thing.' The creature [Frog Lady] got to be where she needed to be with the eggs. It's all good. It was beautiful." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/09/star-wars-daisy-ridley-reveals-rey-kenobi-was-almost-canon-ign-now"] Given the success of The Mandalorian and future plans for other Star Wars content on Disney Plus, would Ridley be open to exploring her character Rey's life post-Rise of Skywalker, perhaps in a streaming series of her own? Not really. "I think for me the beauty of Episode IX is it ends with such hope and such potential. I just feel like that was Rey's perfect ending. The big battle was in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX," Ridley said. "I think really she's probably running around the forest somewhere having a great time [following the events of The Rise of Skywalker]." She continued, "I feel totally, totally satisfied with how that story finished. I just don't know what else she could do that I didn't have to do. Also, there are so many amazing characters in Star Wars, that it's sort of an amazing thing. I was watching the new episode of Mandalorian, and it's just like the places it can go beyond even where it is now is so exciting."

Star Wars Squadrons will receive a new map this month and two new starfighters in December. EA Motives' latest blog post details two new updates in the pipeline for Star Wars Squadrons following its release last month. The first update will go live on November 25 and will see four new starfighter components added to the game and a new map added to the rotation. The new map, Fostar Haven, will be familiar to those who have played through the game's story as it's the first place you visit in the game. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=11-goofiest-silliest-weirdest-dumbest-star-wars-video-games&captions=true"] "A fan-favorite location from the single-player story and one we've seen requested for multiplayer is Fostar Haven from the game's first prologue mission," the blog post reads. "In this update, the map will be added to Fleet Battles and the Dogfight mode." Motive says this map has been updated from its story mode counterpart to provide a new experience that will "fit well with the other six maps" in the game's multiplayer modes. Four new components will be added to the game alongside Fostar Haven. The fighter and bomber starships will get the new Boost Extension Kit, which gives starfighters a full rechargeable boost, while fighters and interceptors will be getting Ion Rockets, which are rockets that move at half the speed of standard rockets, but can be used at the same time as other components. Bomber and fighter starships will also be receiving Prototype Piercing Torpedos that provide new ways for players to destroy enemy flagship subsystems before shields have been completely disabled. The final component coming to the game this month, the Anti-Material Rocket Turret, is for the game's two support ships, the U-Wing and the TIE Reaper. This component is perfect for taking down flagship subsystems, capital ships, and turrets, according to Motive. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/06/star-wars-squadrons-multiplayer-review"] The next update for the game goes live in December and it will bring with it two new starfighters: the B-Wing and the TIE Defender, both of which have been heavily requested by fans. The B-Wing will be categorized as a bomber while the TIE Defender will be categorized as a fighter. What makes these two ships special, other than their unique designs, is the B-Wing's gyro-cockpit and swiveling wings, and the TIE Defender's shields, which aren't present in the Galactic Empire's other fighter ships. Custom Matches are the final piece of the December update and they'll allow one to five players, per side, across two teams play on any of the maps in both Dogfight and Fleet Battles with any restrictions and modifiers they'd like. The news of these updates comes weeks after Motive said it has no future plans for additional content to be added to the game.

Open Bionics and Konami have helped create a bionic arm based on Venom Snake's arm from Metal Gear Solid V for a UK-based gamer named Daniel Melville who was born without a hand. As reported by CNET, Open Bionics is a Bristol, England-based company that uses 3D printing technology to make bionic arms for amputees, and they are also built to cost less than traditional prosthetics. This Venom Snake bionic arm is meant for below-elbow amputees and clips on to Open Bionics' Hero Arm, a multi-grip bionic arm. [caption id="attachment_2440389" align="aligncenter" width="720"] Courtesy of Open Bionics[/caption] "This is unbelievable. It's everything I've ever wanted from a bionic arm," Melville said. "I'm an avid gamer and love Metal Gear Solid so much, and to actually have Snake's arm in real life is just insane." The Metal Gear Solid "Venom Snake" covers for the Hero Arm is available for others around the world, and are meant for those 8 years old and above. It starts at £599.00 and is only one of the many different options available. Open Bionics and Disney have previously teamed up to create a line of bionic arms for children that included one based off Iron Man with a vibrating repulsor, Elsa's sparkling blue glove, and a Star Wars-themed arm that lights up with different colors. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/31/the-best-games-of-the-decade-2010-2019"] Disney even granted Open Bionics royalty-free licensing for its properties, and that has been a huge help in keeping the prosthetics below others that can cost upward of about £13,000.

Apple is lowering the commission it takes from smaller developers on the App Store by half. Instead of taking 30 percent from smaller devs, Apple will take 15 percent from qualifying small developers and businesses. The new changes are part of Apple’s App Store Small Business Program, which will allow any developer earning less than $1 million in annual sales to apply for a reduced 15 percent commission to Apple. This will apply to all paid app revenue and in-app purchases. The program will officially launch on January 1, 2021. In a blog post, Apple says the new Small Business Program will “benefit the vast majority of developers who sell digital goods and services on the store[.]” [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/13/fortnite-1984-apple-parody-video-short"] “Small businesses are the backbone of our global economy and the beating heart of innovation and opportunity in communities around the world,” Apple CEO Tim Cook says in a statement. “We’re launching the program to help small business owners write the next chapter of creativity and prosperity on the App Store[.]” The reduction in commission for small businesses follows a year in which Apple’s App Store practices have been criticized. Whether it’s from European antitrust investigators to Epic Games which sued Apple over its monetization practices.

The App Store cut is not unique to Apple as many platform holders, like Steam, institute commissions for apps and software sold through their platforms. And in recent years, this practice has come under fire from different interests.

The new App Store policy, and other discounted commissions like those seen in the Epic Games Store and Steam, show some platform holders are willing to show flexibility when it comes to smaller developers. But this new policy will not apply to larger corporations like Spotify and WordPress who have also voiced concerns over Apple’s commission policies, and will not qualify for the Small Business Program. Meanwhile, Apple’s legal fight with Epic Games over Fortnite continues. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is a reporter for IGN.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Fantastic Four #26! [poilib element="accentDivider"] The mutant population in the Marvel Universe has just shrunk by one. As revealed in Fantastic Four #26, Franklin Richards - once depicted as an Omega-level mutant with the power to conjure entire realities out of nothing - isn't actually a mutant after all. As it turns out, Franklin's powers are the very reason he's always been mistaken for a mutant. When Franklin attempts to use the Krakoa Gate to visit his second home among the X-Men, he discovers it no longer recognizes him as a mutant. Professor X appears telepathically to explain that Franklin's mutant status was only ever an illusion. As a young boy, he dreamed of being special, and so he subconsciously altered reality to make himself appear to be a mutant. The fact that he recently exhausted his powers in a battle with The Cormorant has finally exposed the truth. [caption id="attachment_2440270" align="aligncenter" width="1347"] Art by RB Silva. (Image Credit: Marvel)[/caption] Franklin is just the latest example of Marvel tinkering with a character's history to eliminate their mutant status. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are the most infamous examples. 2015's Uncanny Avengers Vol. 2 revealed the two aren't actually Magneto's children, and that their powers are the results of experimentation by the High Evolutionary, not a mutant gene. That twist was seemingly motivated by Marvel's desire to align the characters more closely with their MCU counterparts. There have been other cases over the years. For example, Multiple Man is now considered to be a changeling rather than a mutant, which explains why his powers manifested at birth rather than during puberty. On the opposite end of things, Moira MacTaggert was recently revealed to be a mutant, triggering a number of profound changes to the X-Men franchise. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-x-man-ever&captions=true"] Despite that storytelling trend, this plot twist is strangely timed considering how much Marvel has worked to reinforce Franklin's ties to the X-Men over the past year. The recent limited series X-Men/Fantastic Four dealt with a conflict between the two teams over Franklin's mutant powers and whether he belongs with his family or the rest of the mutant race on Krakoa. Suddenly, that debate has been rendered moot. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many readers are less than thrilled with this sudden change to X-Men and Fantastic Four mythology. Twitter user @arthurstacy writes, "That Franklin retcon is total baloney and I hate it."

For his part, Fantastic Four writer Dan Slott is urging readers to withhold judgment for now, pointing out this plot twist is part of a larger, ongoing story. Slott tweeted, "Marvel Comics is serialized storytelling. Every issue is a chapter in an ongoing tale. The story is always evolving and building. If characters keep standing on solid ground things get predictable. 'What just happened?!' is what gets readers to 'What's going to happen NEXT?!'" For now, we'll have to wait and see how this twist impacts Franklin's ties to the X-Men going forward and whether his godlike powers ever return. Let us know what you think of this mutant retcon in the comments below.

Zack Snyder has confirmed that the Kryptonian sleeping pod mystery set up in Man of Steel will be addressed in the upcoming Snyder Cut of Justice League. When Man of Steel hit theaters in 2013, eagle-eyed viewers noticed while Superman was aboard a Kryptonian scout ship that there was a pod that hadn't yet been opened. This left many to believe, including IGN, the pod not yet opened was that of Superman's cousin, Supergirl, or at least some other Kryptonian we might see on screen in a later movie. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=justice-league-snyder-cut-all-the-known-differences-from-the-theatrical-version&captions=true"] It wasn't addressed in Man of Steel or any other DCEU movie, but according to Snyder, that mystery will be addressed when his cut of Justice League hits HBO Max next year. "If you study Man of Steel, and even in this movie (Snyder Cut), there's reference to the open sleeping (pod), which is, when they walk by it on the scout ship when they're bringing Superman's body into — to bring it back to life, there's a sequence where they...they're kind of walking through that same hallway that Kal-El walked through when he first came into the scout ship," Snyder said in response to a fan's question on Vero yesterday, as reported by CinemaBlend. "Next to that (pod), there's an open (pod) that showed that someone clearly got out. Who that is remains a mystery to this day, so we'll see." We're still basically where we've been for the past seven years in that we have no idea who or what was in that pod, and we're still not sure if we'll even learn the answer to that question in the Snyder Cut of Justice League, but at least it looks like the mystery itself will be addressed when the four-part movie series hits HBO Max next year. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/22/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-trailer"] While waiting for that to release, check out a new black and white Snyder Cut trailer and then read about how Jared Leto's Joker will have a different look in the movie. Plus, learn about how the Snyder Cut will only have roughly four minutes of new footage and then how Snyder originally wanted to release his cut as two movies.

Blizzard has apologized, with promises of change, after a battle pass launch in Hearthstone last week caused 'confusion and disappointment'. Blizzard launched its biggest-ever update in Hearthstone on November 12 and, while some found enjoyment in its focus on early level progression, its new breakdown of experience – or rather lack thereof – left players feeling foggy about what was actually going on behind the scenes. This is because the experience requirements to progress through each level weren't laid out anywhere or displayed in the game, as PC Gamer reports. It led to a disappointing time for Hearthstone players who were excited for an expansion that Blizzard touted as its biggest leading up to the launch. Now, less than a week since the expansion's launch, Blizzard has apologized in a new post on its forums. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hearthstones-new-progression-system-reward-track&captions=true"] "We have been listening to your feedback regarding the Rewards Track and it's clear we missed the mark both in how we communicated and implemented the full functionality of this first version of our rewards system," Blizzard said in a post on their forums. "We apologize for the confusion and disappointment we have caused." Blizzard said the intention of the changes to the reward cycle was to give out extra experience over time through a variety of ways, but that the company failed to provide any details for how events will link into and support the rewards system. The company will be providing bonus experience for various activities at each seasonal event every expansion cycle, and any additional bonus events as needed, "again with the aim of ensuring that our players obtain more rewards." Hearthstone community site Out of the Cards previously did some digging and learned that the experience requirements for each level were not so great, to say the least. Players learned that completing the battle pass' track would take most of the new expansion to complete and that they would earn less total gold in doing so compared to the previous system. On top of that, Blizzard implemented a new paid experience boost and cosmetic pack called the Tavern Pass for $20. A pass like this has been sold in Hearthstone before, but it's usually included in expansion preorders — the Tavern Pass was not. The final piece to this puzzle of confusion and disappointment was the inclusion of mini-sets, which are sets of 35 cards added to each future set two months after said set is released. Instead of using gold and packs to acquire the cards in these new sets when they release, players felt that hoarding their resources until after the mini-sets release was the only move forward. Why spend resources on a set when it first comes out if 35 new cards will be added to it two months later? Blizzard addressed these other issues in its post: "In addition, you've provided us with a wealth of feedback, and we agree that the pack rewards at the end of the track don't feel appropriate for the effort it takes to get them," the post reads. "We're going to adjust these rewards in the later stages of the track, swapping six packs for a total of 1350 gold that players can spend as they see fit. If any players reach this milestone before we implement these changes, they will be retroactively compensated." "Our goal for the Rewards Track continues to be that all Hearthstone players earn more gold and total rewards per expansion. We'll continue to evaluate the impact of these changes, listen to your feedback, and iterate as needed until we get it right. We will stay true to our word and ensure that the system lives up to what we believe Hearthstone deserves."
