New Black Panther Trailer Shows Wakanda In Turmoil

Marvel Entertainment has released a new trailer for Black Panther, providing a look at the wonders of Wakanda. The trailer also sets up T’Challa as the new king of the hidden nation, and shows Michael B. Jordan as Erik Killmonger, an exile seeking to overthrow Wakanda’s rightful monarch.

The impressive trailer is packed with plenty of superhero action and a fair bit of burgeoning turmoil, all set–appropriately–to a bombastic version of Gil Scott Heron’s “The Revolution Shall Not Be Televised,” with some voice samples from Long Beach rapper Vince Staples. Check it out above.

Last year, Boseman, who plays T’Challa, suggested that the movie will adopt a different tone to many of the other movies in the Marvel universe. “For me, most of the time the darker superhero movies are the ones that I gravitate towards, that I love the most,” he said. “I’m glad that the tone of [Black Panther] may be a little grittier.

“I just wanted to establish that from the beginning, that that’s what we were doing,” he continued, referring to the character’s first appearance in this year’s Captain America: Civil War. “That that’s what I intend to do. I feel like we’ll end up in a place that I’ve always wanted to be when I look at superhero movies. Those are the ones I like the most. It’s exciting to do that.”

Black Panther hits theaters on February 16, 2018.

Doom’s Nintendo Switch Release Date Revealed

After unveiling a surprise Switch port of Doom during a recent Direct presentation, Nintendo has now revealed when you’ll be able to play the portable version. Doom will launch for Nintendo Switch on November 10 this year.

The company had previously given a “Holiday 2017” release window, choosing not to reveal a specific date. Thankfully, we now know exactly when we’ll be able to shoot monsters in hell while on the go. In addition, Nintendo has posted a new video about the port–take a look at the developer interview below.

Doom’s Switch port includes the full game, incorporating the single-player campaign, Arcade Mode, multiplayer, and all DLC previously released. For more, check out some Doom on Switch gameplay. Another Bethesda game, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, is also heading to Nintendo Switch, though no release window more specific than “2018” has been shared.

Doom first launched on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2016. Our critic, Peter Brown, awarded the game an 8/10 in our full Doom review. “The loud and chaotic campaign is Doom’s strongest component,” he wrote. “It’s straightforward and simple, but it serves its purpose: to thrust you into increasingly dire scenarios fueled by rage and the spirit of heavy metal.

“Many shooters chase the thrill Doom delivers, but few are as potent in their execution. It captures the essence of what made the classic Doom games touchstones of their day, and translates it to suit modern palates with impressively rendered hellscapes and a steady influx of tantalizing upgrades. Doom is the product of a tradition as old as shooters, and while it’s not the model to follow in every case, modern shooters could learn a thing or two from Doom’s honed and unadulterated identity.”

Pokemon Go To Add Generation 3 Creatures Very Soon, Leak Suggests

Pokemon Go‘s roster of creatures may be about to grow even larger. A datamine arising from a recent update has suggested the mobile game may receive Generation 3 monsters in an upcoming Halloween event.

The image below shows some Ghost-type Gen 3 Pokemon in a spooky setting, leading some to conclude they’ll be added in the event. Although Gen 3 critters have not yet been officially confirmed for Pokemon Go by developer Niantic or the Pokemon Company, the latter has stated an event is coming with “plenty of good stuff” included. A Niantic representative told GameSpot the company has nothing new to share at this time.

No Caption Provided

In addition to the image, the datamine apparently uncovered sounds for all species up to #386 (Deoxys, the final Pokemon found in Generation 3), a new Gen 3 badge, Halloween music (including the famously spooky Lavender Town theme), and other files pertaining to the Halloween event. GameSpot has reached out to Niantic’s representatives for comment.

Pokemon seen in the image include Duskull, Dusclops, Shuppet, Banette, and Sableye. All of these are Ghost-type, so it would make sense for them to be introduced at Halloween. It’s unclear whether more Gen 3 Pokemon will be added at the same time: Gen 2 Pokemon were added in stages, and a few still haven’t made their way into the game.

Interestingly, the image also appears to show a trainer wearing a Mimikyu hat–Mimikyu being a Generation 7 Pokemon and the image being the first time Pokemon Go has included content from a generation currently unavailable in-game.

The Halloween event might not have been revealed yet, but another is currently ongoing. Until October 25, the best AR photos taken in-game have the chance of winning some cool prizes. Finally, Pokemon Go’s Legendary Dogs have switched location. This time, players in the Americas will have a chance to catch the Fire-type Entei; the Water-type Suicune has moved to Europe and Africa; and the Electric-type Raikou can be found in the Asia-Pacific region. The three Pokemon will remain in their current location until October 31; on that date, the Legendaries will rotate to their final region, where they’ll be available until November 30.
