Naughty Dog and HBO have confirmed that the TV show adaptation of The Last Of Us will premiere on January 15, 2023.

The news was shared alongside a new poster showing Pedro Pascal's Joel and Bella Ramsey's Ellie walking in a ruined city in the post-apocalyptic world of The Last of Us.

The January 15 premiere date was leaked yesterday, November 1, via the HBO Max app and website and promotional materials in the UK, but now it is official.

The first season of HBO's The Last of Us will consist of 10 episodes and it looks to cover the events of the first game from 2013. However, some of the episodes will feature events that "deviate greatly" from the game.

The Last of Us' first trailer was released in September, and it gave us our first look at the Clickers, a post-apocalyptic U.S., and even what appeared to be the heartbreaking opening scene from the game.

For more, check out why Bella Ramsey was "encouraged not to" play The Last of Us ahead of filming and the rest of the cast that will be joining Joel and Ellie.

An explosive new trailer for Atomic Heart has revealed that the first-person action RPG will be released on February 21, 2023.

The new trailer for Atomic Heart showcases its blood-pumping, fast-paced gameplay, and reveals a release date for the Soviet-era shooter. Developer Mundfish and publisher Focus Entertainment have now confirmed that players will be able to explore the game's mysterious world on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and Game Pass in February.

The story is set in an alternate version of the 1950s Soviet Union in which robotics and other advanced technologies were developed during World War 2. Robots designed to help humans have since turned against their creators, and a variety of secret experiments have led to the accidental creation of terrifying mutants, wreaking havoc on your own mission.

Mundfish first announced Atomic Heart in 2018, and there's been plenty of information shared since then. A huge chunk of gameplay gave people a better idea of what to expect from the action-RPG, while a Cinematic In-Engine trailer and Photo Mode teaser exposed the finer details — and there's much more to come as Atomic Heart is this month's IGN First.

For those who haven't followed the story so far, check out our Atomic Heart explainer video to learn all about what's going on in the game's weird-yet-wonderful nuclearpunk dystopian world, and be sure to stay tuned to IGN throughout November for exclusive news and videos diving deeper into the game and find out more about how it will play out.

God of War Ragnarok's latest Japanese is a wonderful surprise that is shockingly upbeat in all the best ways.

Shared on PlayStation Japan's Twitter, the trailer features footage of God of War Ragnarok placed in between scenes of three men dancing and singing in a beautiful and colorful forest and mountainous setting. Saying any more would ruin the joy and surprise of it all, so here it is for your viewing pleasure!

Now, just like me, you will have this catchy and wonderful song stuck in your head as you prepare return to the adventures of Kratos and Atreus on November 9 when God of War Ragnarok is officially released.

This trailer follows another surprising one from yesterday, November 1, that featured Ben Stiller, LeBron James, John Travolta, and their kids in a counseling session led by Stiller in full Kratos attire.

As we mentioned, God of War Ragnarok is nearly upon us, and in our final preview, we said that, in its first five hours, the much-anticipated sequel "delivered an engaging, emotional story with portions of Kratos violently ripping things in half sprinkled in during the touching opening moments."

For more, check out God of War Ragnarok's graphics and performance options, how Sony Santa Monica dealt with Atreus' voice actor's changing voice, and our breakdown of the story so far.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II has set a new record for the best-selling weekend in the franchise's history, bringing in a total of $800 million worldwide in sell-through after only three days on the market, according to publisher Activision.

Given the series' history and cultural impact, it's never a surprise that Call of Duty regularly sees staggering sales numbers at launch. However, this year's second entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare series has already rapidly surpassed the previous franchise record set by 2011's Modern Warfare 3, which brought in $775 million across a five-day span.

“Thank you, Call of Duty players, for making Modern Warfare II’s launch one for the record books as well as the highest grossing entertainment opening of the year," Call of Duty General Manager, Johanna Faries, said in a statement. "It is our honor and privilege to deliver such a historic launch weekend for the best fans in the world. As amazing as this opening has been, Call of Duty has much more in store. An unprecedented level of support for the Modern Warfare universe is on the horizon and Warzone 2.0’s launch is right around the corner. It’s an incredible time for the franchise.”

Modern Warfare II is a sequel to 2019's reboot of Modern Warfare, both of which feature iconic characters and themes from the original series while telling fresh stories set in today's world.

In our campaign review, we called Modern Warfare II a "lackluster follow-up to Modern Warfare 2019’s refined take on a Call of Duty campaign, and an experience that’s already fading in my memory." However, our multiplayer review praised the multiplayer for how it "shifts its focus enough to where it feels distinct and different."

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is available now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.

Avatar: The Way of Water's newest trailer not only gives us a much better look at Jake and Neytiri's family and the struggles they face, but it is also filled with giant and impressive sea creatures and a baby Na'vi.

Avatar: The Way of the Water will be released in theaters on December 16, 2022, and it is set more than a decade after the events of the original film from 2009. According to the official description, this new film "begins to tell the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure."

The trailer also gives us a brief tease as to why the film's title is what it is, as "the way of water connects all things, before your birth, and after your death."

Alongside the new trailer, a new poster has been revealed that shows Jake, Neytiri, and their children, and you can check it out below.

Avatar: The Way of Water is directed by James Cameron, is produced by James Cameron and Jon Landau, and stars Zoe Saldaña, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, and Kate Winslet.

For more, check out why Cameron was "shocked" at how good the Avatar re-release looks, why 3D TVs for homes failed, and our breakdown of The Way of Water's D23 footage and its first trailer.
