Call of Duty: Warzone Zombies Are Moving Across the Map

Zombies arrived in Call of Duty: Warzone just last month, and they’ve now begun migrating across the battle royale’s map, and taken up residence in Verdansk’s Prison.

As teased in an ‘in-universe’ blog post, the zombies that washed ashore with the addition of a ghost ship to Verdansk’s northern shore have now been found in the Prison Complex area nearby.

Similarly to the ship, a terminal has been added to the Prison, which allows players to kick off a zombie-killing event, offering extra loot when 40 undead shamblers are dispatched.

The move could presage major changes for Verdansk, with some believing they’ll slowly take over multiple areas, before the game’s slowly-added nukes are deployed, triggering a radical change to the map.

That’s an idea supported by a leak that seems to point to a zombie-themed event called Plague in which the area can be nuked. The aformentioned blogpost also includes a header image that says 5% – possibly pointing to how much of the map is now affected by zombies.

All of these additions may make those on older hardware nervous, especially as a 500GB PS4 may no longer be able to fit Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. Want to earn yourself a victory in Warzone? We have a Call of Duty: Warzone wiki for you.

Joe Skrebels is IGN’s Executive Editor of News, and he’s furious at this change, because Prison is one of the only places he feels like he’s safe in during Warzone matches. Follow him on Twitter. Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story? Please send an email to newstips@ign.com.

Halo: MCC’s Custom Game Browser Is Not Included In Latest Beta Test

Beta tests for Halo: The Master Chief Collection‘s Season 6 are currently underway, but one planned feature that fans have been waiting for has been delayed, for now at least.

The latest test, or “flight,” will not include the Custom Game Browser. In a blog post, developer 343 Industries said early testing periods led to less-than-great results for the browser, so the studio has decided to hold back its release until a later time.

“During development and feedback sessions amongst our Ring 1 players as well as our own internal playtests, we determined that this feature is not quite ready to be flighted. The team is going to take more time to develop this feature and let players know when and where it will be available for a future flight,” 343 said.

Netflix’s Bird Box To Get Spanish-Language Spin-Off Movie

A spin-off movie from the 2018 Netflix sci-fi horror hit Bird Box is in development. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the spin-off will be a Spanish language film to be directed by Alex and David Pastor.

The next Bird Box movie is being fast-tracked by Netflix and is expected to be in production in Spain by the end of 2021. The Pastor brothers are best known for writing the 2015 sci-fi movie Self/Less–which starred Ryan Reynolds–and for directing 2009’s Chris Pine-starring Carriers. More recently, they made the drama series The Head, which is available on HBO Max. No further details about the Bird Box spin-off are available yet.

Bird Box is set in a terrifying futuristic world where humans are driven insane by demonic forces that only manifest themselves to the human eye. To survive, people must remain blindfolded, and the film starred Sandra Bullock as a woman trying to keep two children alive. The film was a huge hit for Netflix, and was the most streamed movie in the company’s history at that point.

Potential CoD: Warzone Hack Lets Cheaters End Games Instantly

A new, nasty hack might have been discovered in Call of Duty: Warzone, with cheaters apparently able to end matches instantaneously.

There are two accounts of the hack being used in-game circulating on Twitter, with both showing final killcams that are usually reserved for Modern Warfare’s competitive multiplayer mode. In the first clip from streamer Bisag10, it shows how a team fight is prematurely finished and the match ended once a cheater (noticeable by the otherwise illegal in-game name) dies.

In another instance, a player has a match end after encountering another cheater, even though the in-game counter clearly shows over 60 players still alive. In both instances a killcam is displayed before rewarding each player with a victory.

2021 Razzies: Robert Downey Jr., Glenn Close, And Kat Hudson Among Worst Performer Nominees

The Golden Raspberry Awards has announced its 2020 nominees for “the worst the film industry had to offer” in a year that, let’s face it, was pretty bad for filmmakers and audiences alike. While the dubious “awards” have been a Hollywood tradition since 1981 that have been increasingly criticized, this year’s list demonstrates the parody accolade can also set its sights on particularly problematic productions.

For example, the recently released Music, directed by singer-songwriter Sia, is a film about a newly sober drug dealer who becomes the sole guardian of her half-sister, Music, a young autistic girl. The film received massive criticism for not casting an autistic actor in the role, which is one of several reasons why Music merited nominations for Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Actress, and Worst Supporting Actress.

Similarly, Netflix drama 365 Days received a total of six nominations–a movie that largely received negative reviews from critics, and that was widely criticized for its portrayal of sexual violence. Dolittle, the Robert Downey Jr. vehicle that served as a reboot of the Eddie Murphy films, was a more conventional many-people-didn’t-like-it selection, which also received six nominations.

The premise of Godzilla vs. Kong is pretty self-explanatory. The king of Skull Island will face off against the king of monsters in this (s)mash-up of two of Warner Bros.’ and Legendary Entertainment’s biggest monsters.

Godzilla vs. Kong is directed by Adam Wingard, and members of the Godzilla: King of the Monsters cast will return, including Millie Bobby Brown, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kyle Chandler. New cast members include Rebecca Hall as Ilene Andrews, and Lance Reddick and Jessica Henwick in unknown roles.

As previously announced, Warner Bros. is releasing its 2021 slate of movies on HBO Max the same day as theaters, so if IMAX is not an option for you, you’ll still be able to check out Godzilla vs. Kong on HBO Max on March 31.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/01/24/godzilla-vs-kong-official-trailer”]

At IGN Fan Fest, we caught up with director Adam Wingard, who told us that this fight will not end in a draw. “This is the decider,” Wingard says, “One wins, and that’s it.” But who that is will remain a secret until the end of this month.

Ghostbusters Kenner Classics Line Adds ECTO-1, Toilet Ghost, And One More Eye-Popping Toy

During the 1980s, The Real Ghostbusters toy line from Kenner took ridiculous ghosts and monsters from the animated series and made them into memorable toys. Now, Hasbro is revamping some of these toys for a whole new era–and isn’t stopping with just the ghosts.

First, there’s the classic ECTO-1, which will cost $50. Based on the spectre-hunting vehicle from the animated series, the car’s tailgate opens, there’s a swivel blaster seat on the roof, and a ghost claw, so you can bust those pesky ghosts–which I heard makes you feel good. Of course, it also comes with a little ghost figure to bust.
