Call of Duty: Warzone will soon be getting a new limited-time 200 Player Battle Royale mode that will allow 50 Quads of Operators to fight for victory.

This new mode will arrive alongside a brand new Season Four Reloaded update on June 29 at 11pm PT and on June 30 at 2am ET/7am BST that will also add a new weapon, map, operator, and much more.

Warzone currently supports up to 150 players, and this new limited time Quads mode will allow for 50 more players.

The update will have a download size of 22-36 GB for owners of the full version of Modern Warfare, with console owners needing a secondary 3.5 GB download. Free-to-Play Warzone players can expect a download of 22-30 GB. According to Activision, once these updates are finished, there will be “a reduction to the overall footprint on their machines.”

There will also be new Supply Run Contracts in Warzone. Once activated, your team will be directed to a nearby Buy Station. If it is reached in time, a discount on Buy Station purchases will be applied.

Juggernaut Royale mode will also become available. In this mode, there will be airdropped care packages that will allow players to become the Juggernaut with a mini-gun and high armor. Once a Juggernaut is defeated, a new care package will drop, giving someone else a chance to become the fearsome soldier.

A Spotter Scope will also be put around Verdansk. While sniper scopes can be spotted by other players by the glint of sunshine when they are used, this new scope has none of that. If found, players can can the environment and find enemies without as much fear as using a regular scope.

Speaking of Snipers, the Rytec AMR will also make its way to Modern Warfare’s multiplayer modes and is a “.50 caliber-chambered beast.” It is “one of the deadliest semi-automatic anti-material rifles an Operator can get their hands on.”

On the multiplayer front, the Cheshire Park map will become available and allow players to travel to urban London, England to visit a “picturesque garden and conservatory.”

Lastly, Team Defender returns to multiplayer after being introduced almost 10 years ago and brings back the variant of Capture the Flag where there is only one flag between both teams.

Studio Ghibli has become one of the most well-known and beloved animation studios worldwide, so it’s no surprise merchandise inspired by Ghibli’s library of films is plentiful and popular. Unless you live in Japan, however, it can be a bit difficult to find licensed Studio Ghibli merchandise, especially at local stores, but fortunately, it’s easier than ever to buy it online thanks to an official Studio Ghibli merchandise store on Amazon.

Bluefin, the official distributor of Ghibli merch in North America, offers a ton of adorable products via Amazon, and right now, new products are up for pre-order that any Ghibli fans will be dying to buy (trust me, I’m with you.)

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot sent a memo to employees detailing how the company plans to rework its “solutions and tools [that] detect, report, and resolve any incident or serious problem” after numerous allegations against Ubisoft workers have come to light.

“I have gathered all of my direct reports to address this subject and your feedback,” Guillemot wrote in a memo originally reported on by Business Insider. “I would like us to thoroughly review all of our systems so that these types of situations cannot happen again.”

Guillemot didn’t specifically mention sexual harassment in the memo despite Ubisoft being at the center of many allegations over the last week. The company suspended vice presidents Tommy François and Maxime Béland after an internal investigation into several claims of misconduct according to a Bloomberg report. The two were responsible for overseeing worldwide development of the studio’s games.

The Mad Max films are available for digital rental.

[poilib element=”accentDivider”]

Motivated by reality feeling like a Mad Max opening monologue, I yearned to experience a deeper sense of madness. Like listening to a sad song when you’re down, I turned to a key piece of fiction in this arena: Mad Max.

Binge It! This Classic Run of DC’s The Question Reinvented the Fascinating Superhero

Discussions of the Mad Max saga tend to focus on the brilliance of the first sequel, Mad Max 2 (a.k.a. The Road Warrior). Or they hone in on the absurdity and lunacy of the first half of the third film in the series, Beyond Thunderdome. And even more commonplace in contemporary film discourse is a reveling in the brilliance of Fury Road, director George Miller’s magnum opus. But what about the original film that drove our titular Max to become “Mad”?

Tracing the post-apocalypse back to the original Mad Max sees the audience transported to the near-apocalypse. The Australian outback, the perfect backdrop for the turbulent state of humanity, hangs in peril as the thin line of society comes closer and closer to collapse thanks in part to two warring factions: the police and the Zed Runners, the latter of which are led by one Toecutter (played by Hugh Keays-Byrne who’d later go on to play Immortan Joe in Fury Road).

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/05/20/5-things-summer-blockbusters-could-learn-from-mad-max-fury-road”]

What ensues is the descent into sorrow and madness of Max Rockatansky, who loses everything he holds dear at the hands of Toecutter and his band of flamboyant theatre rejects that makeup the Zed Runners. In his plunge into madness, Max becomes that which he seeks to protect society against. Not because Toecutter won, and the police force “lost,” but because Max realizes he has nothing left. In a world where creature comforts run extinct, the only thing that makes sense is madness. But what sets Max apart from the wastrels wandering the wasteland is his shame for what he’s become.

But in understanding what he’s lost, Max finds his gift. Like the dying cry of War Boys in Fury Road, Max understands (usually after some convincing) that it is his duty to bear witness to the marginalized, forgotten, and weak. Max weaponizes the skill set he developed as part of the Main Force Patrol unit to help elevate the voice of The Other in a world actively seeking to snuff it out. And therein lies the timelessness of science fiction. It offers us an opportunity to explore the present through the safe lens of over-the-top set dressing and, in the case of the Mad Max saga, tons of sick car destruction and flames.

Outside the first film, Max isn’t the main character of the Mad Max saga. He’s the vehicle by which the audience perceives the story. In a future where humanity runs scarce, Max serves to chronicle the waning voice of it. In The Road Warrior, a reluctant Max elevates and protects the livelihood of a small colony of settlers who’ve taken refuge in an oil refinery against the wishes of The Marauders, led by Lord Humungus. In Beyond Thunderdome, Max leads a Planet Erf community of children to liberate a local trading outpost known as Bartertown — and to freedom and safety. Max’s utilizes his skillset to serve others. Fury Road? Same thing. Through sheer happenstance and a little reluctance, Max ultimately helps Imperator Furiosa overtake The Citadel from the tyrant Immortan Joe. Again, he’s bearing witness and serving a community composed of the downtrodden. Because sometimes all it takes is the action of one good person to make a difference. And that’s the core of the Mad Max franchise: the humanity.

In the real world, where Black voices are being oppressed and silenced, I can’t think of a better message. It is the duty of everyone who is able to protect and strengthen those voices. That simple act is the benchmark of humanity and our saving grace.

There are a lot of reasons to take a look at West of Dead. Cowboys and Wild West aesthetics are hot in games right now, in the wake of Red Dead Redemption 2. Run-based games are, likewise, very much a structure du jour. It’s dusted with voiceover narration from Ron Perlman, who you might know from Guillermo Del Toro’s Hellboy films or the FX TV Show Sons of Anarchy. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that its core mechanical conceit, as a cover-based twin-stick shooter, helps Frankenstein it to original and, dare I say, innovative gameplay. Unfortunately, West of Dead is a textbook case of a half-baked concept: Though its big sweeping ideas work well, the minutiae, from scaling the difficulty of encounters to unrefined enemies and plain old technical issues, threaten to undo the experience at any time.

West of Dead’s conceit builds up a simple but interesting little tale. In Purgatory–which is apparently in Wyoming–the dead have stopped filtering “east” to heaven or “west” to hell. You play an undead cowboy called the Marshall who’s lost his memory, save for his mission to kill the evil preacher holding up the afterlife. Though it’s more narrative glue than captivating storytelling, the Marshall’s inner monologue, in subdued performance from Perlman, keeps the story in mind, evoking a world that you might not see in its generic, monotonous Wild West-themed levels.

Like so many of today’s Rogue-inspired games, the story naturally falls away at a certain point, as you play and replay the game over and over, attempting to reach your goal. West of Dead retains many of the tropes established by the many, many rogue-lites that have launched in the last few years, and it cribs its structure specifically from 2018’s wildly successful version, Dead Cells. West of Dead procedurally generates long levels, which are punctuated with a store where you must spend Sin points to permanently expand your arsenal of weapons. In each run, you find upgrades to your specs and more powerful gear–two weapons, two accessories, and a passive charm. By defeating optional bosses, you gain access to branching paths with harder levels. You carry an upgradable healing flask, which you refill between levels. There’s even a hall at the start of each run where you can see all the weapons and upgrades you’ve bought. Though it comes dangerously close to getting branded as a “Dead Cells clone,” using familiar structure makes it easy to focus on West of Dead’s combat, where its real innovations lie.

Cyborg actor Ray Fisher was onstage alongside his fellow Justice League cast members at San Diego Comic-Con 2017 to promote Joss Whedon’s reshot, reedited version of the DC movie that Zack Snyder had originally been hired to make. Fisher said at the time, “Joss is a great guy and Zack picked a good person to come in and clean up, finish up for him.”

That was then.

On Monday, Fisher tweeted a video of him saying those very words at SDCC 2017 with this caption: “I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement.”

I’d like to take a moment to forcefully retract every bit of this statement: pic.twitter.com/1ECwwu6TG1

— Ray Fisher (@ray8fisher) June 29, 2020

Fisher, a theater actor who made his big-screen debut in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice before segueing to Justice League, did not provide any further context for retracting his past praise of Whedon. It’s unclear whether Fisher’s slam is a personal beef with Whedon or simply about not liking the theatrical version of Justice League that Whedon shepherded.

It’s also worth noting Jason Momoa’s stone-faced expression and seemingly half-hearted nod reacting to Fisher’s praise.

Fisher has long been a supporter of #ReleaseTheSnyderCut on his social media. Given that Snyder gave Fisher, whose sole credit since 2017’s Justice League was a recurring role in Season 3 on HBO’s True Detective, his start as a screen actor perhaps it’s a matter of loyalty for him.

However, actor Joe Morton, who played Cyborg’s dad Silas Stone, told IGN in 2017 that Whedon’s reshoots were in part to alter the tone of the Cyborg character, a creative shift that could get to the heart of Fisher’s retraction of his past praise for Whedon.

“Well, the stuff that I had to do were just really small little bits and pieces, nothing necessarily having to do with tone. I know that with Ray [Fisher], the young man who plays Victor, there were some adjustments that they made in terms of the tone of that character,” according to Morton.

“I think what I heard was that there was a need from the studio to lighten up the film in a way, that the film felt too dark. I don’t know what that meant in terms of how it actually got translated in terms of the reshoots but that’s what I heard. That’s what I thought some of the reshoots were about.”

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is being completed and is expected to debut on HBO Max in early-to-mid-2021.

When Disney+ launched on November 12, 2019, many fans noticed content missing from the service. Some Marvel and Star Wars movies weren’t included, and even though Disney purchased many of Fox’s assets, those highly-beloved films like the X-Men franchise haven’t been included either. However, this summer, Disney+ has announced some of those films are about to arrive to the streaming service.

Alongside a promotional video, Disney released information about some of the high-profile movie releases on Disney+ between July and September. It all kicks off on Friday, July 3 with the release of Hamilton, which was originally going to release in theaters in October 2021, but because of the pandemic, Disney has decided to push it to the streaming service more than a year early. Check out the sizzle reel of the upcoming movies below.

The most notable of the releases are three X-Men movies–four if you count 2013’s The Wolverine. Sadly, we’re not getting all three of the original X-Men movies from the early 2000s. On July 10, X-Men: Days of Future Past arrives; on July 17, X-Men: Apocalypse; and on August 7, the first X-Men film. To date, there have been no X-Men movies on the streaming service, and the only Fox Marvel movie is 2015’s Fantastic Four.

World of Warcraft Classic is bringing back another old-school event next month. The Gates of Ahn’Qiraj will unlock on July 28 when the weekly raid reset occurs, opening a new quest chain.

The date comes from a community mangaer on the Blizzard forums. The note said that version 1.13.5 will go live in July, which will unlock a quest to craft the Scepter of Shifting Sands. Players will also be able to contribute resources to the Ahn’Qiraj war, and once both activities have been completed on a realm, it will open the gates.

The original event took place in 2006, and opened raids in the Ruins of Ahn’Qiraj and the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj. It also consisted of elite quest chains and a lengthy war sequence. The gates were permanently opened in a subsequent update in 2009, but then the quests were closed in the Cataclysm expansion.
