One of the biggest movies of 2020, No Time To Die, was delayed by six months due to concerns around COVID-19. The delay of this movie has prompted questions about whether other studios will follow suit and push back their films. One company that will reportedly not do that is Disney.
Deadline reports that Disney has informed North American movie theatre chains that they are “staying the course” as it relates to the company’s release slate. This means that the MCU movie Black Widow remains on track to release on May 1.
The report states that there was a rumor that suggested Disney was thinking about delaying Black Widow until November 6, which is when another MCU movie, Eternals, was scheduled to release, which would push Eternals out to 2021. However, Deadline’s report indicates that is not the case.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is due to arrive for Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2020, and pre-release hype is hitting a fever pitch. Even the most simple piece of news can get our hearts and minds racing–like, for instance, the character limit we’ll have when planning our island’s name.
The official UK Twitter account for Animal Crossing has revealed that you’ll have a ten-character limit for your island’s name, which is two more than was allowed in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This means, for example, if your New Leaf village was named ‘GameSpot’, your island could be named GameSpotia.

Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima has shared his thoughts on the game’s review scores. He observed that the game was rated differently by US and European outlets, and he has an idea about why that might be.
He told The New York Times Magazine that the American audience is more accustomed to shooter games. Death Stranding does have guns and some shooting elements, but it is primarily a game about exploration and traversal
“In America, they’re used to shooters, so they don’t gulp it down,” Kojima said. “It’s OK; everyone can evaluate what they want.”
One For All is making a surprise comeback to Riot’s League of Legends in patch 10.6. Previously, One For All was an arcade game mode wherein both opposing teams only have one champion each, with players needing to work together to take on the other team’s single champion.
As you can imagine, having to work together in League of Legends is an ambitious notion, much less putting five players in control of the same champion at once and expecting a competent level of cooperation. Nevertheless, Riot is set on bringing the arcade mode back after a two-year absence, although only for a limited time.
The last time we saw One For All was April Fools Day in 2018. Since then, League of Legends has added eight new champions and been through a number of patches and balance changes. How this will affect One For All is yet to be seen, but some interesting strategies are sure to emerge from the game mode.
