The New Mutants: New Explainer Clip and Posters Released
The Dolby Cinema poster can be seen below.
If you're unfamiliar with The New Mutants, it's basically a story of a group of teenagers with special powers trapped inside a facility. Horror and thrills ensue. To get fans excited, the studio released a brief 60-second clip explaining what fans can expect, and what the deal is with each of the movie's main characters. You can view that below.
The news of these tickets going on sale lines up with previous reports indicating that Disney had recently told exhibitors that the movie would still hit theaters on Aug. 28. The movie was originally slated to hit theaters on April 13, 2018 but it was pushed to February 22, 2019. Then, it was delayed again to August 2, 2019, and then once more to April 3, 2020. Its final release date was announced earlier this year and it seems Disney is intent on the movie hitting theaters that day. These delays started as production-related before COVID-19 caused even more. If you're looking for something to read while you wait for the movie to release, read about the 7 best New Mutants comics worth binging.

Spiritfarer Review – Animals Crossing
Things come easily to the Spiritfarer because everything they do is to help others. This utterly marvelous game charges you with the most precious of cargo: spirits making their last pass through a fantastical world between ours and the next. As the Spiritfarer, it's your duty to aid these souls in their final moments before crossing into eternity. That duty quickly becomes a pleasure as every inch of this spirit world unfolds into joy and wonder. For a game all about death and letting go, Spiritfarer is joyous, full of light and life, while still remaining impossibly true to its raison d'être.
Spiritfarer is a 2D platformer with a heavy dose of crafting and management. Your job is to sail the oceans, visiting islands, landmarks, and anomalies to gather and expand your abilities by finding shops, resources, and even ability-granting shrines. Your life as the Spiritfarer is not just a simple ferryman for wayward souls. Instead, you're there to help. It's more than just listening to tales of past lives and learning about your guests--they have needs to be fulfilled before they can move on, too.
Some may want to eat certain foods to reminisce, and you'll need to discover the ingredients and recipes to cook for them. Others may want to visit places that spark their imagination, or even just learn how to be comfortable on their own. The knowledge and materials you bring back to your ship will help to expand your enterprise. You'll create a temporary home for the spirits that choose to join you, caring for their every need while strengthening your ability to make these journeys possible, so that when their final one comes, you'll be ready too.

Deathloop Delayed to 2021
The Dishonored developers explained in a statement posted to Twitter that the working-from-home situation required due to COVID-19 has meant that the creation and polish of the game is taking "longer than normal". The delay from holiday 2020 to Q2 2021 means it will land next spring, somewhere between April and June. "This extra time will allow our team to bring Deathloop's world to life with as much character and fun as you've come to expect from our team," said Arkane. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/10/deathloop-developer-update-video"] While we'll have to wait a few months longer to play Deathloop, Arkane promises that the next update on the game is "coming soon."
