Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox Series X and Xbox One X Gameplay Revealed

CD Projekt Red has shared 10 minutes of Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay on both Xbox Series X and Xbox One X in a surprise Night City Wire Special. The Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay video, which you can watch below, switches back and forth between Xbox Series X and Xbox One X and arrives just a couple days before the scheduled fifth episode of Night City Wire on November 19. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/17/cyberpunk-2077-gameplay-on-xbox-series-x-xbox-one-x"] Night City Wire Episode 5 will focus on Keanu Reeves' character, Johnny Silverhand, and will also reveal some of the music fans can expect to hear as they adventure through Night City itself. Speaking of music, there is a lyric in the new Run the Jewels song 'No Save Pont' that was created specifically for Cyberpunk 2077 that confirms that both Reeves and Silverhand are canon in the upcoming game. After a few delays, Cyberpunk 2077 is set to be released on December 10, 2020, three weeks past its last release date of November 19.

Creed 2 Director May Helm New Transformers Movie

Creed 2 director Steven Caple Jr. is reportedly in talks to direct a new Transformers movie. The Hollywood Reporter says Caple is in talks to direct a script by King Arthur writer Joby Harold. The movie currently has a release date of June 24, 2022. Caple's Transformers movie is different from an animated Transformers movie that's supposedly in development and is expected to be a reboot of the live-action series previously directed by Michael Bay. Another live-action Transformers movie is in development at Paramount from writer James Vanderbilt, the writer of Murder Mystery. Vanderbilt's script is reportedly about the Transformers spinoff Beast Wars. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/26/beast-wars-transformers-we-were-wrong-about-you-up-at-noon"] The last Transformers movie released was the spinoff Bumblebee. It earned the best reviews of the series and producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura took note of that for the future of the franchise, according to an interview with Collider in March 2019. "Several lessons have come out of [Bumblebee]," Di Bonaventura said. "One is that we have the freedom to tell almost any story. The other is that, how strongly the audience identified with the strength of character and emotion. I know the next Transformer, our attempt anyway, is to sort of do a fusion of Bumblebee and the Bay movies...a little more Bayhem. And a little bit more of the character falling in love within the emotional dynamic of the movie." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=dumbest-transformers-movie-moments&captions=true"] Harold is reportedly a writer on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series coming to Disney+ and is also developing a Space Mountain movie for Disney. As for the future of the Creed franchise, Michael B. Jordan is considering taking over as director. Instead of directing Transformers, Bay is now working on a smaller-scale thriller with Jake Gyllenhaal.

Justice League: Zack Snyder Unveils Black and White Trailer With New Footage

Zack Snyder has debuted a black and white trailer for HBO Max's Snyder Cut of Justice League, which features a few seconds of new footage. Snyder released the trailer on his Vero account on Tuesday morning to celebrate the three-year anniversary of Justice League's theatrical release. The updated trailer contained much of the same footage that was released at DC FanDome earlier this year, with the exception of a few blink-and-you'll-miss-them moments from the likes of Darkseid, Superman, and Cyborg. In the new clips, fans are offered another snapshot of Darkseid, who is expected to be featured a few times during the movie, including as part of a flashback scene that will show Darkseid leading the Parademons against the Greek gods, as his pre-Darkseid version Uxas. In addition, there's some fresh footage of Henry Cavill's Superman, Ray Fisher's Cyborg, and Connie Nielsen's Hippolyta. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/23/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-trailer-breakdown"] There has been only been around "four or five minutes of additional photography" shot for the entire movie, including a "vignette" with Jared Leto's Joker, who is said to have a different look in the Snyder Cut of Justice League compared to the character's appearance in 2016's Suicide Squad, though there's no word yet on how exactly the Clown Prince of Crime will fit into the Justice League storyline. Although there might not be much in the way of additional photography, there will be plenty of differences between the Snyder cut (which is being dubbed the "director's cut") and Joss Whedon's 2017 theatrical release. Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little while longer to know the full extent of those changes, as the Snyder Cut of Justice League is only scheduled to arrive on HBO Max in 2021. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=justice-league-snyder-cut-all-the-known-differences-from-the-theatrical-version&captions=true"] Snyder initially thought that his version of Justice League would be released as two movies, one month apart from one another, but that plan soon changed, as Snyder agreed to release the feature as a multi-part series, cut into television show-like chunks. He said he specifically structured the story as "six chapters," which he felt better "leant itself" to the miniseries format.

Call of the Sea Gets December Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC Release Date

Call of the Sea, the upcoming first-person, puzzle adventure game, will be released on December 8, 2020 on Xbox Series S and Series X, Xbox One, and PC. Publisher Raw Fury and indie developer Out of the Blue announced today that Call of the Sea will launch in December on Xbox digital storefronts and on Xbox Game Pass for consoles and PC. Those wishing to buy the game on PC will be able to do so through Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/11/17/call-of-the-sea-release-date-trailer"] "An otherworldly tale of self-discovery and mystery set in the 1930s, Call of the Sea is a love letter to the adventure genre about one woman's search for her missing husband in the uncharted reaches of the South Pacific," a press release for the announcement reads. "On a lush island paradise, you will unearth the remnants of a lost civilization, investigate clues, and solve a variety of clever puzzles to piece together the fate of your husband's expedition." According to the game's press release, players will explore tropical environments in this "immersive voyage inspired by the surreal emotion, suspense and surprises of H.P. Lovecraft's stories." The game was created in Unreal Engine 4 and tasks players with investigating clues left by the island's previous inhabitants while solving a variety of puzzles to learn of what happened on your husband's seemingly final expedition. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=call-of-the-sea-xbox-series-x-screenshots&captions=true"] The game's main character — the wife of the missing husband — is voiced by BAFTA-winning actress, Cissy Jones, who has provided her voice to games like Firewatch, Life Is Strange, and The Walking Dead in recent years. You can check out her voice in this video showcasing the first 18 minutes of the game and watch this narrated gameplay video from Gamescom 2020. After that, check out the game's announcement trailer released back in May.
