In light of UA and MGM’s decision to delay the release of the James Bond film No Time to Die from April to November, the question is whether other studios will follow suit and postpone their upcoming movies due to the spreading coronavirus. According to a new report, the short-term answer appears to be no.

“Currently, Disney is adamant that they’re not moving the May 1 release date of Black Widow, and Universal is officially not changing their May 22 release for F9,” Deadline reports.

IGN reached out to all the major studios to inquire about whether they were planning on shifting their release dates but none of them had responded as of time of publish.

Deadline claims there had been rumors among distributors that Disney would shift the release of Black Widow to the November 6 slot currently occupied by another Marvel title, The Eternals, and then push the latter film to 2021. But, according to Deadline, “Disney is telling its exhibition partners that they’re staying the course with their current release slate.”

Likewise, Warner Bros. is reportedly not moving the release dates for Scoob! (May 15) or Wonder Woman 1984 (June 5) nor is Paramount postponing the May 22 opening of SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run.

Of course, no one knows how widespread or threatening COVID-19 will be by November, but until then the film industry will continue to observe the situation and hope audiences still head to theaters.

Grand Theft Auto Online’s weekly update is here, offering new bonuses for anyone who jumps into Grand Theft Auto V‘s online mode. This week, Rockstar is offering extra rewards on gunrunning missions, as well as discounts on certain in-game items.

From now until March 11, you can earn double GTA$ and RP for all Gunrunning Sell Missions, which means that it’s a good time to move any arms you’re holding onto. There’s also double rewards active on the Bunker Series, so if you launch a Bunker Adversary Mode you can expect a higher pay-out than before.

There are some freebies to grab, too. Log in this week and you’ll get the Overflod and White Nagasaki t-shirts without needing to spend a single GTA$ on them. They’re simple designs, but they’re stylish.

After the success of The Mandalorian and the craze of memes and love surrounding Baby Yoda online, it’s surprising it took this long for a Baby Yoda mod to surface.

The mod replaces the BB-8 model in Star Wars Battlefront II, a hero character only added recently to the game. Due to the similar sizes of the characters, as this Baby Yoda is in his levitating cradle, switching them makes sense.

While this mod was originally teased near the end of last year as a joke, it was finally completed this week. The creators of this mod are also responsible for the cyborg Darth Maul and battle damaged Darth Vader cosmetic mods. Clearly Nanobuds is an individual with both style and talent.

Game of Thrones network HBO is working on a TV show based on The Last of Us, with Chernobyl writer Craig Mazin attached as the writer alongside Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann.

Mazin is also writing the Borderlands movie, so he’s become a big name in the world of video adaptations for TV and the big-screen. As you would expect, Mazin is a big fan of video games.

He has now shared a list of his favorite games of all time, and there are a lot of gems on the list. In no particular order, Mazin listed off titles like The Last of Us, GoldenEye, Red Dead Redemption, Star Raiders, Dishonored 2, and Oblivion, among others. You can check out this list below.

Prinny, a penguin who started life as a character in the Disgaea series before spinning off into two PSP games, is coming to Switch. Prinny 1•2: Exploded and Reloaded collects together Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? and Prinny 2 in one package, complete with upscaled graphics.

In the Prinny games, you have 1000 lives to get through every level. They’re side-scrolling platformers that are known for being pretty difficult. You can check out gameplay from the new Switch version in the trailer below.

The first Prinny game received an 8/10 in the original GameSpot review, and reviewer Tom McShea wrote that it was “an undeniable success, even with a few missteps along the way.” Prinny 2 was scored 6/10 in its own review, again by McShea: ” Not only does Prinny’s second effort fail to fix (Prinny 1’s) problems, but it also adds new ones that sap away most of the joy present in the first game.”

Battlefield 5‘s big new 6.2 update has now arrived–you can check out the full patch notes here. The update includes a number of updates and improvements for weapon balance, but there is one feature in particular new to the game that players have requesting for a very long time.

That’s tank customization. This feature was promised to the Battlefield community some 457 days ago. Developer DICE is taking it all in stride, as Battlefield’s community manager posted a picture of precisely how long the feature took to be released: 457 days, 6 hours, 33 mins, and 29 seconds.

As a thank-you for fans for their patience, DICE is giving away a set of tank customization items for the Sherman tank to those who log into Battlefield before March 24. This gift contains a cheeky nod to the long wait, as one of the customization items is a spray for “Coming Soon,” which became a meme in the Battlefield community. Check out the images below to see more of the new tank customization options.
