Monster Hunter: World Iceborne Will Have a Harder Endgame
Capcom had made the endgame of Monster Hunter: World Iceborne more challenging than the base game’s in response to feedback from fans.
Talking to Game Informer, executive director and art director Koname Fujioka said “We've taken that feedback to heart from players who wanted more difficulty and more challenge and really delivered on that."
Before you can hit Iceborne’s endgame, you need to have finished Monster Hunter: World’s main story. For those who have not yet reached that milestone, Capcom have included a few features to make getting through the story a little quicker.

WWE Extreme Rules: You’ll Never Believe Who Crashed the Main Event
Real-life WWE power couple "The Man" Becky Lynch and "The Man's Man" Seth Rollins, team up tonight at WWE Extreme Rules for a collision with the bizarrely-dressed Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans, and I'll be running down the PPV action all evening here for IGN!
There was a lot of damn pro-wrestling this weekend - from AEW's Fight for the Fallen to Evolve's 10th Anniversary Celebration (which streamed on the WWE Network) to the B Block matches from NJPW's G1 Climax 29. Extreme Rules, which is hardly extreme and contains barely-present rules, almost feels like an afterthought. But it is WWE's final stop on the road to SummerSlam. And it's also the only card to feature THE GRAVEYARD DOGS! Yes, that's a real moniker and the tee's available at Shop Dot Com. Along with "The Man's Man" shirt. And probably a whole "Brock Party" section marked 30% off.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Aren’t Recycling 3D Models, Game Freak Confirms
Pokemon developer Game Freak has been battling the ire of fans ever since they announced that Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield wouldn’t let you put all previous Pokemon in the games’ Pokedex. The fallout from that decision sparked another rumor that Game Freak has been using recycled 3D models of what older Pokemon will be available in order to cut down on production costs. However, a recent interview with Famitsu, originally reported on by Polygon, surfaced on social media and Reddit, disputing the rumor.
Report: Captain Marvel’s Lashana Lynch to Play 007 in Bond 25
Following years of speculation, fan-casting, and controversy, a new report from the Daily Mail states that a new 007 has been cast. Captain Marvel co-star Lashana Lynch is set to play 007 in the upcoming 25th Bond film.
In a bit of a twist, however, Lynch appears to be just the character who has picked up the infamous secret agent codename. According to New York Post, actor Daniel Craig will still maintain the role of James Bond. Lynch will play a new character who has taken over the moniker after Bond leaves MI6.
