The Evolution Championship Series 2020 games lineup has been announced and it includes a surprise from the past.

The lineup was announced live on Twitter along with the dates that the world's biggest fighting game tournament will be held this year. Evo 2020 will be between July 31 and August 2nd, 2020.

As to the lineup, it includes many of the fighting games the tournament usually hosts. But a special surprise this year is the return of Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which will be in the lineup to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will have a "20urnament of champions," which will be an eight-player invitational tournament featuring the game's best players of all-time. The last time Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was included in the lineup was Evo 2010, when it was won by Justin Wong, securing his seventh tournament win with the game.

• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

• Tekken 7

• Street Fighter V: Championship Edition

• Dragonball FighterZ

• Samurai Shodown

• Granblue Fantasy Versus

• Soul Calibur VI

• Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r]

• Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes

As you can see, two fighting games not included in this year's lineup after being part of Evo 2019 are BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle and Mortal Kombat 11.

Vin Diesel has hinted that Fast and Furious 10 could be split into two parts, potentially marking the conclusion of the Fast saga. In an interview with Total Film, Diesel discussed the expanding universe of the blockbuster franchise, as he teased that the movie that follows F9 will be a two-part instalment, making those the final films in the "last trilogy to end the saga." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/31/f9-fast-furious-9-official-trailer-1"] "I started planning for Fast 10 before we started filming Fast 9. Very much so," Diesel explained. "The universe is so robust and so rich with talent and rich with story that, on one level, it's totally feasible to have spinoffs, and I think that's something that is inevitable. Universal deserves it because of how much they've invested in this little saga, and it'd be good to give back to Universal. And for the fans, should Fast 10 parts one and two be the conclusion, it would be nice for this world to continue for generations to come." The long-running Fast and Furious franchise has certainly put in some mileage over the years. The first film raced off the starting line in 2001, launching a trilogy of high-octane action movies, before undergoing a soft reboot and starting another new film series with the release of Fast & Furious in 2009. Universal later expanded the saga to include the spin-off film Hobbs & Shaw, fronted by Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=f9-character-posters&captions=true"] F9, a sequel to 2017's The Fate of the Furious, will be the ninth instalment in the main franchise. The upcoming film will bring back stars Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Charlize Theron, and Helen Mirren. In addition, John Cena will also be making his Fast & Furious debut, alongside Guardians of the Galaxy's Michael Rooker. For more on F9, find out why Justin Lin decided to bring back Han Lue amid the popular #JusticeForHan fan campaign, take a look at the poster for the ninth entry, and watch the Big Game Spot trailer for the film.

Update:

The Nintendo UK eShop page for Animal Crossing: New Horizons includes two disclaimers that seemingly confirm the cloud save situation for the game. According to these disclaimers, Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not support cloud saves except in the event of "console failure, loss or theft."

At the bottom of the Animal Crossing: New Horizons store page on the official Nintendo UK website, the company added two disclaimers at the bottom. They are:

• This game does not support the Save Data Cloud functionality of Nintendo Switch Online. However, the ability to recover Animal Crossing: New Horizons save data from the server in the event of console failure, loss or theft will be available to Nintendo Switch Online members sometime in the future.
• Animal Crossing: New Horizons does not support the ability to transfer your save file from one Nintendo Switch console to another.

These disclaimers, which aren't live on the North American store page for Animal Crossing, confirm that Cloud Saves aren't available except for three unique cases in which the Switch is either lost, stolen, or malfunctions. Furthermore, data transfers between one Switch to another is explicitly not supported.

IGN has reached out to Nintendo of America to find out if this will be the case in the U.S. as well.

Original Story Follows:

[poilib element="accentDivider"]

Animal Crossing: New Horizons may not let you transfer your save data from one Nintendo Switch console to another.

That's what it apparently says on the back of the game's German download card, which was recently shared and translated into English in the ResetEra forums.

"The transfer of user- and save data between consoles is not supported by this software," reads the translation of the download card.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/02/animal-crossing-new-horizons-deserted-island-getaway-package-primer-trailer"]

If this is true, that means you won't be able to take your save game over to a newer Switch console should you buy one. Good to know if you already own a Switch but intend on buying the newly announced Animal Crossing: New Horizons special edition Switch at some point.

You better hope that your Switch doesn't ever break so you have to buy a new one too, either. Especially as it was confirmed last year in an interview with Gamekult that Animal Crossing: New Horizons will not support cloud saves in order to stop people manipulating time to their advantage within the game.

The German download card also contains the second mention of Animal Crossing: New Horizons only allowing one island per console. The first mention of it was spotted on the Nintendo Australia webpage for the game.

"Up to 8 players registered as users on a Nintendo Switch console can live on one shared island, and up to four residents of one island can play simultaneously on one console," reads the game's description.

"Please note: only one island can exist per Nintendo Switch console, irrespective of the number of users registered to or copies of the game used on one console. One Nintendo Switch and one copy of the game is required for each unique island."

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=animal-crossing-new-horizons-limited-edition-nintendo-switch&captions=true"]

Only having one island may not seem that much different to Animal Crossing: New Leaf. However, New Leaf saved the game on the 3DS cartridge, meaning you could move it around. You won't be able to do that with New Horizons as the game is saved on the console's internal storage - something you can't remove so easily.

Still, as we found out in our Animal Crossing: New Horizons multiplayer interview, at least you'll be able to invite eight friends to your island via local wireless or online play - up from the four-player limit of New Leaf.

Hopefully we'll hear confirmation on this news before Animal Crossing: New Horizons launches on March 20, 2020.

Update 02/06: Epic Games has confirmed that Harley Quinn is coming to Fortnite. A new post on the Fortnite site explains that a new Harley bundle will be available from 7pm ET / 4pm PT / midnight UK, and includes a skin as well as the Harley Hitter and Punchline pickaxes. The skin in the bundle - known as the Lil Monster XoXo Harley - will dress your character up as Quinn in her now-iconic Suicide Squad costume. Completing three challenges will unlock the Always Fantabulous Harley version of the skin, which is based on Quinn's new outfit from Birds of Prey.

I’m the one they should be scared of. BECAUSE I’M HARLEY FRICKIN’ QUINN!#HarleyQuinn is ready for mayhem and bringing Gotham’s havoc straight to Fortnite. Grab the Harley Quinn Bundle tonight starting at 7PM ET, learn more about the bundle in our blog: https://t.co/JUkKl7KNep

Fortnite looks like it is getting Harley Quinn skins as part of its latest crossover with new DC film Birds of Prey.

Harley Quinn will be added to the game for you to buy if you wish when the 1.15 update arrives today. Regular Fortnite leaker Lucas7yoshi found the new skins within the game files and shared them on Twitter.

As you can see in the image, there are at least two Harley Quinn skins coming to Fortnite, and her baseball and mallet will be available as weapons too. There's no word on whether anything else related to Birds of Prey will be coming to the game but it seems nothing has come up when digging into the game's files.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/09/birds-of-prey-official-trailer-2"]

Signs that a Birds of Prey x Fortnite crossover was on the way were spotted in January 2020. The official Fortnite Twitter account replied to the Warner Bros. Pictures account when it shared a photo of the Birds of Prey cast, saying "See you soon Harley!"

That pretty much confirmed the event was on the way for a lot of people, especially as Birds of Prey hits theatres on February 7, 2020. Which, if you haven't realised, is this week.

Fortnite previously had a DC crossover event in 2019 when Batman invaded the game to celebrate the Dark Knight's 80th anniversary. There have been many crossover events before that, too, including Star Wars, The Avengers, and even Nike Air Jordans.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=birds-of-prey-movie-images&captions=true"]

The next big event for Fortnite fans after this is probably going to Fortnite Chapter 2, Season 2, which is due to launch on February 20, 2020.

Fortnite Chaos Physics has officially been added into the game with the v11.50 update.

Fortnite Chaos Physics has officially been added into the game with the v11.50 update.

Wales Interactive, the publisher behind live-action video games such as Late Shift, has announced The Complex, its latest project in the realms of interactive live-action movies. The Complex, which Wales Interactive describes as “the very first live-action interactive sci-fi film”, tells the story of the aftermath of a bio-weapon attack in London. The choose-your-own-adventure style film focuses on Dr. Amy Tenant, a nano-scientist who, along with a fellow scientist, has been locked in a lab that contains a perilous secret. Tenant’s journey features multi-option storytelling choices that branch out to 8 different endings, akin to Netflix's interactive Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch. But within those choices is a detailed real-time relationship status and personality trait tracking, which assesses your decisions and influences how the story plays out. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-sci-fi-movies&captions=true"] Each interaction with characters you encounter will weaken or strengthen your bond with them, depending on your approach, and their status with you will affect the outcome of certain scenes. Your decisions also factor into your overall personality score, which is revealed at the end of the story. While The Complex looks like a classic FMV game or interactive movie due to its live action nature, it appears that beneath the surface is a more game-like system akin to that powering Life Is Strange 2 or the Telltale games. The Complex It is written by Lynn Renee Maxcy, who is also part of the writing team for Hulu's The Handmaid’s Tale, is directed by Paul Raschid, and stars Bad Blood’s Michelle Mylett, Game of Thrones’ Kate Dickie, and Twitch streamer LeahViathan. It has been produced in partnership with Red and Black Films, Good Gate Media, Little Jade Productions, Great Point Media, and Fields Park. Talking of streaming, the film also features a pause system when choices are presented, allowing streamers to get audiences involved in making decisions. Releasing on March 31, The Complex will be available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. If you can’t wait, you can get a (unfortunately not interactive) rush right now with the best sci-fi movies of all time.
