Immortals Fenyx Rising Recommended PC Specs Revealed

Ubisoft has released the PC specs for Immortals Fenyx Rising, the upcoming Greek mythology-inspired game that used to be called Gods & Monsters. The requirements to run the game on PC are similar to those for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. So if you’re picking up one of Ubisoft’s open-world games, you’ll likely be able to play the other too.

On its lowest settings, Immortals plays at 30fps on 720p. However, Ubisoft also outlines the recommended hardware you’ll need if you’d prefer to play at 30fps on 4k. Additionally, the ideal specs for 60fps are listed as well, including what’s recommended for both 1080p or 1440p.

In Immortals, protagonist Fenyx is tasked with the lofty goal of saving humanity and the entire Greek pantheon of gods from Typhon, one of the Titans. To aid them on their quest, Fenyx will have to acquire the help of Aphrodite, Ares, Hephestus, and Athena–but first, the four gods will need to be reunited with their respective essence. You can also discover pieces of Zeus’s stolen lightning, which, when collected, increases Fenyx’s stamina. This allows them to sprint longer, climb higher, and fly further.

Johnny Depp Made Eight Figures From His Single Fantastic Beasts 3 Scene – Report

Johnny Depp has been ousted from Fantastic Beasts 3 as villain dark wizard Gellert Grindelward as a result of and in connection with the actor losing a libel case against his ex-wife. Both these decisions happened in quick succession parallel to lots of other events taking place in the United States last week, and The Hollywood Reporter has filed a report digging deeper into Warner Bros. decision to sever ties with the iconic actor.

One head-turning revelation that’s come out as the dust is still settling on the decision is that the studio will reportedly be paying a full eight-figure salary to Depp for the work he had done so far since production started on September 20 in London–a total of one scene. What’s more, many publications have already been speculating and even recommending actors who should step in to take on the role. It will likely be a while before that or any related decisions come out–unnamed sources at Warner Bros. told The Hollywood Reporter that they “want due process to take its course” before major decisions involving the film are made.

JK Rowling, the author of the Fantastic Beasts series who is no stranger to controversy herself, reportedly “did not push back on Warners’ move to cut the actor from the franchise.” Depp was expected in the upcoming film to have an equal share of screen time with Jude Law (Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events) and Eddie Redmayne (The Trial of the Chicago 7). It is hardly a silver lining for Depp, but an eight-figure salary for one scene is likely an unusual record set for any actor–and at the very least, an unusual bit of trivia.

Xbox Series X/S Will Be Available To Buy Sometime Tonight At GameStop

The Xbox Series X and Series S release tomorrow, November 10, and if you haven’t secured your preorder yet, you’ll have an opportunity to snag one at GameStop. The retailer announced on Twitter that it will have Xbox Series X and Series S bundles available for purchase online tonight. Unfortunately, a specific time wasn’t provided, so it looks like you’ll have to constantly monitor the Series X and Series S product pages.

GameStop said a “very limited number” of console bundles will be available. We imagine stock will sell out in minutes, so you’ll have to be quick (and a little lucky). GameStop hasn’t revealed the contents of the bundles, but the retailer previously offered three different Series X bundles ranging from $770 to $905 and one Series S bundle for $505.

Sam & Max Save The World Remastered Launches On December 2

Telltale Games is best-known for their work with high-profile IPs like Walking Dead and Game of Thrones, but they made a lot of notable games before that, too. Sam & Max Save the World–known in its original release as Sam & Max Season 1–is one of the highlights of that era of adventure games, and one of Telltale’s early successes. Now, a remastered version of those games is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC on December 2. It will be $20, and half-price for owners of the original Sam & Max: Season 1.

This remaster comes with five new audio tracks, enhanced visuals, and full gamepad support. It’s under development by Skunkape Games, which is comprised of ex-Telltale employees. While Telltale Games later became one of the premiere developers in narrative gaming thanks to the success of the Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, Sam & Max was the studio’s first major release. In fact, the original goal of Telltale Games as a company was to obtain the Sam & Max license after LucasArts cancelled Sam & Max: Freelance Police and Full Throttle 2, two sequels to its lauded adventure games.

Telltale also ended up making a Season 2 and Season 3 featuring the freelance police duo. It’s unclear if those entries will receive remasters as well, but we’ll have to wait and see. There’s also a VR title featuring the duo called Sam & Max: This Time It’s Virtual! coming at some point, but we don’t have a release date for that yet.

A New A Quiet Place Movie Is In The Works For 2022

A Quiet Place Part 2 was one of the first movies to be pushed back at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally scheduled to hit theaters at the end of March, it found a new release date on April 23, 2021. Still, despite this major setback, the minds behind the Quiet Place franchise are hard at work coming up with ways to expand the line-up with more stories. A new installment is set to release in 2022 with filmmaker Jeff Nichols (Midnight Special) to helm, Deadline reports.

It’s not clear whether Nichols’ new film will be A Quiet Place Part 3 or a spin-off movie set in the same shared universe. For the uninitiated, the Quiet Place films take place in a world besieged by sound-hating monsters that arrived one day without warning and proceeded to violently take over, slaughtering anything that so much as made the slightest noise and forcing people to either adapt to this new world order or die. Because of the first film’s zoomed-in scope, it’s hard to tell exactly how far the monsters’ reign of terror extends–we only really see and experience the lives of one family, the Abbotts, who have carved out a very quiet life for themselves. But we can easily assume, based on the glimpses we see in the first movie and some of the hints dropped in the second movie’s trailers, that the Abbotts aren’t the only ones out there surviving.

20 Best Disney Gifts For 2020: Christmas Gift Ideas For Disney Lovers

Over the past decade and change, Disney has made huge moves, acquiring Marvel, Lucasfilm, and most recently, 21st Century Fox.

If you have a Disney fanatic in your life, we’ve rounded up 20 great Disney gift ideas for 2020.

We’ve kept the focus on original Disney and Pixar properties for this gift guide, which means no Star Wars or Marvel. However, we also have separate gift guides dedicated to Marvel and Star Wars as well as a bunch more in our 2020 gift guide hub.
