PlatinumGames has released a brand new game exclusively on Apple Arcade. World of Demons is an action game that features a gorgeous art style inspired by traditional Japanese ukiyo-e and sumi-e woodblock prints. As samurai Onimaru, players will battle and recruit yokai and oni based on Japanese folklore creatures and demons. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/04/02/world-of-demons-official-trailer"] World of Demons is available as part of the Apple Arcade subscription service, and is playable on iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. It is PlatinumGames’ first title for mobile. More information is available on the official World of Demons Twitter and Instagram accounts, including outlines of the battle system and a look at Platinum’s unusual take on yokai designs. There is also a World of Demons page on PlatinumGames’ homepage. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=world-of-demons-first-screenshots&captions=true"] World of Demons was originally announced in 2018, but the Bayonetta developer has been quiet about the title in recent months. Its sudden release on Apple Arcade comes the day after PlatinumGames announced another surprising title, Sol Cresta, which was first teased in 2020 as an April Fool’s gag, only to resurface as an all-too-real in-development game for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Steam.

Director James Gunn has revealed a new trailer for The Suicide Squad, giving our best look yet at many of the oddball DC Comics characters (and the actors playing them) that are on the team’s roster in this follow-up to the 2016 film. We also got to see some of them use their powers in the new preview, like David Dastmalchian's Polka-Dot Man throwing his, well, polka dots at his enemies. The trailer also offers up new footage of Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman), Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Bloodsport (Idris Elba), TDK (Nathan Fillion), Peacemaker (John Cena), Blackguard (Pete Davidson), and more. Interestingly, we're still not clear on who Taika Waititi is playing in The Suicide Squad (but we have a few theories). [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/the-suicide-squad-official-trailer-2"] For every badass new character in the mix, there are the wacky inclusions, D-listers who are likely to serve as darkly humorous cannon fodder in an action film where the protagonists are, by their very nature, expendable. Check out the full breakdown of The Suicide Squad cast below:

The Suicide Squad Cast - From Blackguard to Polka Dot Man and Beyond

• Idris Elba - Bloodsport
• Margot Robbie - Harley Quinn
• John Cena - Peacemaker
• Viola Davis - Amanda Waller
• Jai Courtney - Captain Boomerang
• Joel Kinnaman - Rick Flag
• David Dastmalchian - Polka-Dot Man
• Daniela Melchior - Ratcatcher II
• Sylvester Stallone (voice)/Steve Agee (mo-cap) - King Shark (mo-cap)
• Steve Agee - John Economos
• Sean Gunn - Weasel (mo-cap)
• Flula Borg - Javelin
• Nathan Fillion - TDK
• Peter Capaldi - The Thinker
• Pete Davidson - Blackguard
• Alice Braga - Solsoria
• Mayling Ng - Mongal
• Michael Rooker - Savant
• Storm Reid - Tyla (Bloodsport's daughter)
• Jennifer Holland - Emilia Harcourt
• Joaquin Cosio - General Mateo Suarez
• Tinashe Kajese - Flo Crawley
• Juan Diego Botto - Luna

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-suicide-squad-whos-who-full-cast-and-character-reveals&captions=true"] Back in August, the DC FanDome panel for The Suicide Squad revealed that Bloodsport is in prison for shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet, In the DC Comics, Bloodsport is a Superman foe and has been a few different people throughout the character's history. The character first appeared in Superman #2 in 1987 and was created by John Byrne and Karl Kesel. Elba’s costume certainly looks different from Bloodsport's comic book outfit. How about that mask! That menacing maw almost makes it look like a Xenomorph’s face. Playing Tyla, the daughter of Elba’s character Bloodsport, is Storm Reid, whose credits include A Wrinkle in Time, The Invisible Man, and HBO’s Euphoria. 2016’s Suicide Squad developed a relationship between Deadshot and his young daughter Zoe Lawton; seeing as how Elba is the Will Smith surrogate in this film then it’s possible Gunn transferred whatever relationship the sequel was originally meant to explore between the Lawtons to these characters and changed their names since Gunn chose not to recast Will Smith’s role. Next up is John Cena who plays Peacemaker, an extremist who wants to achieve peace so badly he will kill any man, woman or child to attain it. Cena’s costume certainly looks very close to his comic book counterpart, right down to the dopey steel helmet. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-suicide-squad-theatrical-trailer&captions=true"] Ant-Man’s David Dastmalchian plays Polka-Dot Man, aka Abner Krill. Polka-Dot Man is an obscure Batman foe whose outfit is composed of weaponized dots (seriously). Meanwhile, SNL and The King of Staten Island’s Pete Davidson portrays Blackguard. Blackguard was an enemy of Booster Gold's whose real name was, yes, Dick Hertz. In a pair of roles accomplished via motion-capture, Steve Agee plays the towering King Shark, while director James Gunn’s brother, Sean Gunn, plays the human-sized vermin known as Weasel. You may recall that Sean Gunn also plays the mo-cap reference for Rocket Raccoon in the Marvel movies. Sylvester Stallone is voicing King Shark. Another Guardians of the Galaxy alum, Michael Rooker, plays Savant, a lesser Bat-villain who later became a member of The Suicide Squad during The New 52. Steve Agee also plays a separate role, a DC Comics character named John Economos, according to a tweet from James Gunn. Gunn has also revealed that Tinashe Kajese plays Flo Crawley, another DC Comics character. The New Mutants’ Alice Braga plays Solsoria, who appears to be an original character in the film and a soldier of some kind. Mayling Ng plays Mongal, who in the DC Comics is the daughter of an alien tyrant … so she’s Gamora? We’ll see if Mongal ends up as integral to The Suicide Squad as Gamora did to the Guardians. Firefly’s Nathan Fillion reunites with James Gunn here after previously appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, Slither, and Super. Fillion plays TDK, an original creation of Gunn’s. [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/26/the-suicide-squad-official-trailer] Daniela Melchior plays Ratcatcher 2. While not the same Ratcatcher who tangled with Batman in the sewers of Gotham, her incarnation has a similar Pied Piper-like ability to communicate with and train armies of rats. Former Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi plays The Thinker. There have been a few different incarnations of the character throughout DC history, where he’s battled the Flash and Firestorm, and served as a member of the Injustice Society. German actor-comedian Flula Borg portrays the gaudily attired Javelin, whose dopey outfit sure seems to paint quite the target on him. Javelin is a Green Lantern villain who has also been a member of the Suicide Squad in the comics. Jennifer Holland plays Emilia Harcourt, who in the comics was an NSA agent who worked with Amanda Waller. Joaquin Cosio plays General Mateo Suarez. Finally, Juan Diego Botto plays Luna, who appears to be a general or ruler of some kind. So what do you think of the lineup for The Suicide Squad? And who do you think will be the first one of them to buy it in the movie? Let us know in the comments!

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 is now live and it's starting to seem like a vicious cycle where solving bugs can also result in some new ones. The Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit is filled with discoveries of bugs that have appeared after the latest patch. The 1.2 Patch appears to have a net positive in regards to optimization, particularly on consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X. But despite fixing typos, and improving elements like automated police spawns and cars stuck in traffic, there do appear to be some new bugs that weren't in the game before the patch. The Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit, still the most popular source for all things Cyberpunk has a bunch of videos highlighting some fun new bugs that appeared after the patch. A couple of common bugs have appeared since the patch. One involves a dynamic weather bug that seems to be giving some players a permanent sandstorm. Another bug seems to involve vehicles behaving erratically, though this could be a result of the numerous changes to driving Cyberpunk 2077 added in the latest patch. Another common one appears to be some serious clipping issues, either with the cars, clothes, or walls. It's unclear if this is the same issue that's causing weapons to appear invisible for several players. The subreddit has a rundown of some other silly ones that have appeared since the patch, including one that projects the onboard meters on a motorcycle onto an ad billboard. Personally, I think this one is actually cool. But beyond the new bugs, there is a mix of some solid immersive improvements with the new patch. V now sleeps in his bed properly, instead of crashing onto their mattress like a college kid after one too many all-nighters. V also won't take a shower with their clothes on, which I won't share here. Aside from these fixes targeting infamous typos, the 1.2 Patch also seems to be focused on optimization, especially on consoles. PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One X, and PS4 Pro players seem to be seeing some added benefits after the patch. Though base last-gen consoles appear to have no improvements and may perform worse after the patch. Check out IGN's Cyberpunk 2077 1.2 Patch tech review for more details on all the performance changes. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is IGN's News Editor.

After earning an Oscar nomination for his performance in the family drama Minari, Steven Yeun has set sights on his next project. The actor is in negotiations to join the cast of writer-director Jordan Peele's next feature film, per Deadline. Though the premise is still being kept under wraps, casting news for the project has been bubbling in recent weeks. Last month, it was reported that Keke Palmer is set to star in the movie. Additionally, Daniel Kaluuya is in talks to co-star, which would reunite the Get Out lead with Peele. Kaluuya is also nominated for an Oscar this year for his supporting turn in Judas and the Black Messiah. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/04/minari-official-trailer"] Earlier this month, Yeun became the first Asian American to ever be Oscar-nominated for Best Actor for his turn as the father of a Korean immigrant family in Minari. The film earned five other Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. Yeun's other major credits include his regular role as Glenn on The Walking Dead, as well as supporting turns in Bong Joon-Ho's Okja and Lee Chang-dong's Burning. The actor is also set to star alongside Ali Wong in the upcoming Netflix series Beef. Along with writing and directing, Peele will produce the project alongside Ian Cooper of Monkeypaw Productions. This marks the third film Peele has made with Universal. Peele's directorial debut Get Out was a smash success at the box office and earned four Oscar nominations, including Peele for Best Director, Kaluuya for Best Actor, and Best Picture. Peele won for Best Original Screenplay. His horror follow-up Us was another commercial success, earning $255.1 million worldwide against a $20 million budget. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=ranking-jordan-peeles-the-twilight-zone-season-1&captions=true"] It remains to be seen whether Peele will be returning to horror for his next project. Whatever it ends up being, Universal is set to release the film on July 22, 2022. [poilib element="accentDivider"] J. Kim Murphy is a freelance entertainment writer.
