Epic Suing Leaker of Fortnite’s Season 4 Meteor Saga
A former Epic employee is being sued for spoiling details regarding the meteor story days before Fortnite: Season 4 was to begin.
According to the suit, Epic says the non-disclosure agreement with quality assurance tester Thomas Hannah was broken when he shared details with Adam DiMarco, the individual who ultimately revealed the leak. Hannah was hired back in December of last year and had access to confidential information through private meetings regarding upcoming seasons and the future of Fortnite. The information was shared three weeks after Hannah's last day.

Don’t Expect to See the Captain Marvel Trailer With Ant-Man and the Wasp
Captain Marvel's first trailer won't be shown with Ant-Man and the Wasp.
Speaking to ComicBook.com, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige confirmed the trailer for Captain Marvel won't debut in early July when the Ant-Man sequel comes out.
"I think there's still a few months on it," Feige said, speaking about the trailer.
Production on Captain Marvel will be completed in a few weeks, and Feige has reassured fans Carol Danvers will play an important role in the MCU moving forward.
"I mean, all of the things you've seen throughout Phases 1 and 2 and now through much of 3, the new characters always are important going forward in driving, shaping the future of the MCU," Feige said.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Director Thinks Game Was Announced Too Early
Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Tetsuya Nomura has admitted the game was unveiled too early.
Speaking to Italian website Multiplayer (via Kingdom Hearts Insider), Nomura expressed that he knows the project may have been announced prematurely. However, Square Enix wanted to get ahead of possible leaks by revealing the remake way ahead of time.
"I am well aware of the fact that we announced it too early, but even in the industry, word was beginning to spread that we were working on the game, so we just decided not to keep it more secret and officially reveal it," Nomura said.
What Was Really Happening in Westworld’s Post-Credits Scene?
This story contains spoilers for the Westworld Season 2 finale, titled "The Passenger."
The Westworld Season 2 finale featured plenty of twists, but the Marvel-esque post-credits scene left fans with a purposefully confusing ending, seeming to confirm the fan theory that William (aka the Man in Black) is a host.
And maybe he is, but not necessarily right now.
Co-showrunner Lisa Joy clarified the events of the finale's post-credits scene in a number of interviews - reiterating that the real William did indeed kill his real daughter, and then, unable to reckon with what he'd done, began digging in his arm to try and find a port as a way to excuse his heinous actions. "He’s digging into his own skin for answers and doesn’t find any wires by the time Dolores arrives," she told Deadline. "By the end of this timeline, he’s being shipped out into the real world. He did kill his own daughter, he’s in the prison of his own skin, locked in his own confusion and guilt."

Forza Horizon 4: Real Life vs. In-Game Britain
Forza Horizon developer Playground Games doesn’t focus on crafting locations with Google Maps levels of accuracy. This is why, in Forza Horizon 3, the famous Great Ocean Road goes to Byron Bay; two places that, in real life, are almost 2,000 kilometres apart.
This is because Playground prioritises an interesting, varied, and fun world over GPS slavishness. Forza Horizon 4 is no different, cramming in chunks of England, Scotland, and Wales into a crazy cocktail.
The team does take key pieces of inspiration from the real world, however, from Warwickshire’s 17th century Chesterton Windmill to Edinburgh’s 200-foot-tall Scott Monument.
Check out these spots and more in the video above.
Pillars of Eternity Director Gives Details on Canceled Aliens RPG
In early 2009, Sega announced that it was pulling the plug on a role-playing game based on Ridley Scott’s Aliens franchise. The game was being helmed by Fallout: New Vegas and Pillars of Eternity developer Obsidian Entertainment, which laid off more than 20 employees shortly after the cancellation. In an exclusive interview for IGN Unfiltered, Obsidian mainstay Josh Sawyer (director on Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire and Fallout: New Vegas) has shared new details regarding the game and the reasons for its demise.
Pre-alpha footage of the game leaked back in early 2013, featuring a four-man squad searching through a dilapidated facility before being swarmed by the titular aliens. There’s also a bit of footage of the character creation menu. A 2010 report by Joystiq quotes Obsidian studio head Feargus Urquhart as saying “Oh, if you had come in and played any of the last builds we were working on, you would have said it was a finished game.”
