The first trailer for F9 delivers a big shock for Fast and Furious fans: Han is back. Even though his supposed death in a fiery car crash has been shown three times on-screen -- in Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious 6, and Furious 7 -- the final moments of the trailer show Han walking into the Toretto family’s base of operations, casually quipping and eating a snack like it’s no big deal that he’s back and looking better than ever. Check out the trailer below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/31/f9-fast-furious-9-official-trailer-1"] Han Lue, played by Sung Kang, was a fan-favorite character who became one of the franchise’s most tragic and controversial figures due to a series of topsy turvy plot twists. The sixth installment revealed that Jason Statham’s villainous Deckard Shaw was the one responsible for Han’s death, but then fans recoiled in horror when Fate of the Furious pivoted Shaw to a redeemable hero. To pour salt in the wound, even though Shaw murdered Han, he was forgiven by Dominic Toretto and invited to enjoy a Corona with the family, which saw fans revolt with the #JusticeForHan hashtag on social media. Fan anger only swelled when Han's murderer was featured in the franchise spin-off movie Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Now, it seems, franchise vet and director Justin Lin is looking to address all of that by showing what really happened to Han. A set of character posters for the F9 cast was revealed a few days ago when the trailer was first teased, and now a new poster featuring Han has been added: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=f9-character-posters&captions=true"] Kang made a surprise appearance at the pre-Super Bowl trailer premiere and concert event in Miami, and there he told the Los Angeles Times a bit about what this version of Han is like. “[Director Justin Lin and I] know who and what Han is,” Kang said. “And we’re older now. This Han is older. The things that we learned as men in our personal lives, I hope it can transcend on-screen.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-major-fast-and-furious-character&captions=true"] Kang wouldn’t reveal precisely how Han comes back, but he did say that everything ties back into the franchise’s theme of “family,” adding, “I hope we do it justice.” Kang acknowledged that he's aware of the surge of fan support for his character, and the trailer seems equally aware of the #JusticeForHan movement with its closing promise, "Justice is coming." It may seem unbelievable for Han to have survived that explosion, but remember this is a franchise that has no qualms about playing fast and loose with its continuity. In Fast and Furious, Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty seemingly died in similar fashion to Han -- a fiery car crash -- but that didn’t stop her from making a return (with amnesia!) in Fast & Furious 6. Han doesn’t seem to have amnesia given how he embraces Dom in a brotherly hug, so we’ll have to wait and see what his deal is when Fast 9 hits on May 22.

The Taipei Game Show in Taiwan has been postponed due to the outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus. The event organizers have not announced when the replacement dates for the event. According to a report by VG247, the organizers for the Taipei Game Show sent over a list of precautions to attendees for the show including temperature checks and mandatory mask requirements. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/11/27/the-first-16-minutes-of-persona-3-dancing-in-moonlight"] Following the warnings, the organizers decided to cancel the event altogether. The show was originally scheduled to run from February 6 to February 9 at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center in Taiwan. “We are deeply sorry to announce the difference decision from our committee,” said the organizers in a statement. “However, due to the serious outbreak of Wuhan coronavirus, we have decided to postpone the event to this summer.” The coronavirus has infected over 9,000 people and killed 213. The World Health Organization has declared the virus a global health emergency. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/09/elden-ring-official-reveal-trailer-e3-2019"] The Taipei Game Show has been held since 2003, and there were some exciting developments including how Sony would host a PlayStation booth at the event and how Bandai Namco was set to drop some potential Elden Ring information. There’s no word yet on how the delay would affect any potential announcements. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN. You can reach him on Twitter.

Doctor Doom may put on the air of a dignified, regal leader, but anyone in the Marvel Universe knows that he’s a vile scumbag who would do anything to come out on top. Remember that time he let demons skin his beloved ex in exchange for magical armor made from that skin? Well, now he’s sunk to a new low in Avengers of the Wastelands #1 by writer Ed Brisson and artist Jonas Scharf. Warning: full spoilers ahead! [poilib element="accentDivider"] Avengers of the Wastelands is a five-part mini-series that takes place in the future, post-apocalyptic world of Old Man Logan. Most heroes are long dead, hunted down and killed by all of Marvel’s villains who finally got organized enough to overthrow the good guys and take over the world. After Logan killed the Red Skull, things got marginally better, with several legacy characters picking up the mantles of old heroes to help pave the way for a better future. But it wasn’t long before a new threat rose in the form of Doctor Doom, who in this first chapter has been leading his army across the wastelands, wiping out entire settlements one at a time. In a demonstration of just how bad Doom can be, we watch as Doom makes his way to a garage where Ultron-8 was working, insults him for losing his way, and violently stomps his metal boot through his mouth. Doom kicks in Ultron-8’s face so hard it separated his head from his body. [caption id="attachment_229594" align="aligncenter" width="604"] Art by Jonas Scharf. (Image credit: Marvel Comics)[/caption] While not the original Ultron, Ultron-8 is one of his many copies and has all of his originator’s strengths and abilities. However, he gained a sense of humanity and became like a husband to Tonya Barton and a father to Ashley Barton. The world of Old Man Logan is essentially an exercise in just how bad things can get in the Marvel Universe without its heroes around, which is why the loss of Ultron-8 is especially upsetting for fans. He was a rare bright light in an otherwise dismal place, showing how even when evil is expected of you, you can make the choice to be something good instead. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2014/09/16/top-25-marvel-villains"] The rest of the issue sees Doom continue his rampage in pursuit of the new Ant-Man, who unknowingly leads him to a secret settlement of heroes. However, the heroes are able to repel Doom’s forces, in large part thanks to Danielle Cage, daughter of Luke Cage and Jessica Jones, who now wields Mjolnir and uses the power of the God of Thunder to smite his army. When she finally makes her way to Doom and smacks him in the head with her hammer, it’s revealed to be a robotic decoy Doombot, meaning the real Doctor Doom is somewhere else entirely -- and probably up to no good. The issue closes with Captain America -- inexplicably alive and well -- showing up to help out. In the original Old Man Logan series, Steve Rogers was dead and Bucky was operating as Captain America when the villains took over. Red Skull killed Bucky, and we assumed that in this timeline that Steve never came back to life like in normal continuity. If this is indeed Steve finally returned, just how he resurrected is a story that's begging to be told. But regardless of who he is, it seems likely he will be the one who assembles these new heroes to form the Avengers of the Wastelands -- and hopefully avenge poor Ultron-8.

There’s currently a social media campaign to get Persona 3 Remake trending on Twitter. Unfortunately, just because it’s big on Twitter doesn’t mean a Persona 3 Remake is real. Today, fans of Atlus’ 2006 PlayStation 2 RPG Persona 3 are tweeting their wishes for a modern remake using the hashtag #Persona3Remake. One of the most popular viral tweets from this movement is from a fan account called Official AtIus West, which includes an intentional misspelling of the Official Atlus West Twitter account which could fool the quick onlooker.

The day has come. Persona 3 is a fantastic game that tons of people love, and since we're currently busy developing the Jack Bros remake we think Persona 3 definetley deserves a chance to be remade by other ATLUS and loved by a whole new wave of people. #Persona3Remake pic.twitter.com/Q0IXOE5ZYK

The social media campaign looks to be a deliberate attempt by Persona 3 fans to raise awareness for their desire for a remake, perhaps hoping to grab Atlus’ attention in the process. The campaign may have begun today because of the date, January 31, which is an important date in Persona 3. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/11/27/the-first-16-minutes-of-persona-3-dancing-in-moonlight"] Persona 3 did receive an enhanced port in 2009 for the PSP. Since it was on a handheld, Persona 3 Portable (or P3P) wasn’t so much of a graphical upgrade as it was a feature upgrade. P3P added new gameplay mechanics from Persona 4, added new storylines, difficulty levels, character designs, and even the option to play as a female protagonist. Persona 3 also received several spinoffs, including a dungeon-crawler RPG called Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth and Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight, a rhythm game. There have also been several anime film adaptations of Persona 3. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=2020-platform-exclusives&captions=true"] While Atlus hasn’t announced plans for a Persona 3 Remake, IGN reached out to Atlus for a comment on the social media campaign. Atlus’ Persona team is currently working on Persona 5: The Royal an expanded version of the 2016 (2017 in North America) RPG. Like P3P, Persona 5: The Royal will include new gameplay mechanics, storylines, and characters. Read IGN’s Persona 5 review here and check out our Persona 5 wiki for walkthroughs, tips and more.
