You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind... With those classic words, Jordan Peele launched the latest iteration of Rod Serling's classic anthology series, The Twilight Zone. And now, Season 2 of the show is coming to CBS All Access this summer. So in anticipation of the creep-fest's return, we've got 11 exclusive images from the new season for you. Click through the gallery below for all the images, including episode titles and the stars from each segment... [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=jordan-peeles-the-twilight-zone-exclusive-first-look-at-season-2&captions=true"] Season 2 of The Twilight Zone will feature 10 episodes and will premiere this summer exclusively on CBS All Access. Peele once again hosts and executive-produces the series, with the guest cast this season including a bunch of familiar faces including Morena Baccarin, Kylie Bunbury, Jenna Elfman, Sky Ferreira, Tavi Gevinson, Topher Grace, Tony Hale, Gillian Jacobs, David Krumholtz, Thomas Lennon, Sophia Macy, Natalie Martinez, Joel McHale, Chris Meloni, Gretchen Mol, Paula Newsome, Jurnee Smollett, Billy Porter, Jimmi Simpson, Daniel Sunjata, Damon Wayans Jr., and more. From CBS: "Executive producers Jordan Peele and Simon Kinberg’s modern re-imagining of the classic brings the original series’ legacy of socially conscious storytelling to new audiences, exploring the human condition and holding a lens up to the culture of our times. The series’ second season will use introspection and the exploration of self to usher viewers into a familiar dimension." [ignvideo width=610 height=374 url=https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/04/01/jordan-peeles-the-twilight-zone-series-premiere-review] The Twilight Zone Season 2’s episodes will be:

• "Among the Untrodden," starring Sophia Macy
• "The Who of You," starring Billy Porter
• "A Human Face," starring Christopher Meloni and Jenna Elfman
• "Downtime," starring Morena Baccarin
• "8," starring Joel McHale
• "Meet in the Middle," starring Jimmi Simpson
• "Try, Try," starring Topher Grace and Kylie Bunbury
• "A Small Town," starring Damon Wayans, Jr.
• "You Might Also Like," starring Gretchen Mol
• "Ovation," starring Thomas Lennon and Jurnee Smollett

In our review of the first two episodes of The Twilight Zone Season 1, we said that "Jordan Peele and his team have, so far, found that Serling groove that has so often eluded reboots of the show in the past. This new Twilight Zone knows how to be creepy, funny, and socially relevant. And it’s also nabbed the perfect host." Did you watch Season 1 of the series? What are you hoping for from Season 2? Let's discuss in the comments!

Suicide Squad director David Ayer has shared his thoughts on Jared Leto's portrayal of Joker, saying his "heart breaks" for the actor. Ayer, who helmed the first Suicide Squad movie in 2016, recently responded to a follower on Twitter, who shared the opinion that Leto's Joker "was too creepy for compassion, and his look didn't convince everyone like Batfleck did, appearances matter." Ayer tweeted back, "For sure character creation is a tightrope. I took inspiration from the current DC comics. I find it incredible it's still such a topic 5 years later. My heart breaks for Jared – he did magnificent work. Most of it remains unseen." Previous reports have indicated that there was a lot of drama behind the scenes during the production of Suicide Squad as Ayer and Warner Bros. executives struggled to settle on the appropriate tone, which apparently resulted in two different cuts of the movie. After reportedly receiving feedback from test screenings of the two different cuts, Ayer and Warners' execs sought to find "a very common-ground place," and the lighter, studio-favoured option ultimately won out, leaving several Joker scenes on the cutting room floor. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/06/06/7-totally-fake-things-jared-leto-did-to-prepare-for-his-joker-role"] In 2016, Leto himself said there were "a lot of scenes" he wished had made it into the theatrical release but unfortunately didn't make the cut, adding, "Hopefully they will see the light of day. But who knows." Shortly after the release of Suicide Squad, reports surfaced of a standalone Joker movie centred on Leto's tattoo-laden version of the Clown Prince of Crime, with sources saying Leto would star in and produce the project. However, less than a year after these reports, it came to light that Leto's Joker film had "fallen by the wayside." Instead, DC's Joker origin movie starring Joaquin Phoenix was ushered onto the big screen a few months later. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=visual-history-of-joker&captions=true"] Phoenix went on to win an Academy Award for his chilling portrayal of the iconic DC supervillain, who has appeared in multiple live-action incarnations over the years. It's fair to say that each first look at the character has provoked a different response -- with each seemingly more divisive among fandom than the last.

The ESRB has published its ratings report for Cyberpunk 2077, which includes a new bit of information about the game's character creator - you can now customise your player-character's genitals. Per the report, "Players can select a gender and customize their character; customization can include depictions of breasts, buttocks, and genitalia, as well as various sizes and combinations of genitals." This would appear to be a part of CD Projekt Red's decision not to include a traditional gender option in the game, instead offering a "really inclusive" expanded character customization menu. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/05/cyberpunk-2077-gets-adults-only-rating-in-australia"] The report also makes mention of "in-game purchases", but CD Projekt Red has subsequently told IGN that these refer to the ability to buy future DLC expansions for the game, not microtransactions: "As we've said before", said a spokersperson for the company, "Cyberpunk 2077 is a single player game with no microtransactions. The ESRB info is based on the fact that expansions require the base game and are therefore treated as a purchase by the rating board." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=100-new-cyberpunk-2077-screenshots-gangs-characters-and-playstyles-revealed&captions=true"] Much of the report - which awards the game an M 17+ rating - focuses on the adult content mentioned in the previous Australian ratings report, including suggested sexual actions, extreme violence and gore, and swearing. "Players can encounter events where they have the option to engage in sexual activities with other main characters or prostitutes," says the report. "These brief sex scenes (from a first-person perspective) depict partially nude characters moaning suggestively while moving through various positions. Some scenes contain brief depictions of thrusting motions; other scenes depict a character's head moving towards a partner's crotch." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/05/28/cyberpunk-2077-53-gameplay-details"] It seems we'll learn more during the Night City Wire event on June 11. With Cyberpunk 2077 increasingly close to its September 17 release date, it feels likely that we'd see more gameplay, and perhaps a breakdown of its still somewhat mysterious storyline. It's also possible that we'd learn about the game's DLC plans, with CD Projekt Red recently suggesting that it will reveal expansions before release. Cyberpunk 2077 is part of IGN’s Summer of Gaming. This year will also see Cyberpunk 2077 grace the very last special edition Xbox One X. For more, check out IGN’s Cyberpunk 2077 preview and Cyberpunk 2077 wiki for our full coverage.

The Surface Book 3 has gotten a major power upgrade thanks to Intel 10th Generation processors and Nvidia’s latest Turing-series GTX, and even Quadro RTX, graphics. The 15-inch version of the Surface Book 3 look particularly exciting now that you can have a quad-core Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor paired with a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max Q or Nvidia Quadro RTX 3000 Max-Q (if you’re looking for more of laptop for video editing). You can back that up with either 16GB or 32GB of DDR4x memory running at 3,733Mhz and up to 2TB of PCIe storage. The 15-inch screen is still a gorgeous PixelSense Display with a resolution of 3240 x 2160 and you can pop the whole thing off its base with a press of the detach button on the keyboard base. Unfortunately, connectivity hasn’t changed much since the previous Surface Book, so you still get two USB-A ports and a USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 port rather than Thunderbolt 3. But Microsoft has improved the battery life on its largest 2-in-1 machine that now can last up to 17.5 hours. Gamers will be glad to hear the 15-inch Surface Book 3 also includes a built-in Xbox Wireless receiver, which can connect with Xbox One controllers and compatible headsets like the SteelSeries Arctis 9X. Of course, Microsoft hasn’t forgotten about its smaller 13-inch Surface Book 3. This detachable 2-in-1 laptop now comes with either a quad-core Intel Core i5-1035G7 or i7-1065G7 processor and optional Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 with Max-Q. The display is a little smaller in size and resolution at 13.5-inches and 3000 x 2000 pixels, but it’s still much sharper than most laptops. You’ve also got plenty of battery life on tap with up to 15.5 hours of full day usage. Sadly, this smaller model doesn’t come with an integrated Xbox Wireless receiver like its bigger brother. The Surface Book 3 starts at $1,599 and will be available starting May 21.

Surface Go 2

On top of announcing its most powerful laptop yet, Microsoft also introduced an updated Surface Go 2. The Windows tablet PC features 10.5-inch PixelSense Display with a 1,920 x 1,280 resolution and your choice of either an Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y or 8th Gen Intel Core m3 processor. Meanwhile memory is tapped at either 4GB and 8GB with storage options of either 64GB or 128GB. Not exactly screaming specs, but the Surface Go 2 is meant to be more of an affordable 2-in-1 laptop for students and families that are, well, on the go. The Surface Go 2 starts at $399 and will be available starting May 12. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Kevin Lee is IGN's Hardware and Roundups Editor. Follow him on Twitter @baggingspam.

The story of Mortal Kombat 11 isn’t quite finished just yet.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/06/mortal-kombat-11-aftermath-announcement-and-robocop-reveal-trailer"]

Netherrealm just announced Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath, an expansion that will add brand-new story content that takes place right where Mortal Kombat 11 left off, along with three new characters: Fujin, Sheeva, and RoboCop. That’s not all, though, because in addition to the content offered in the paid expansion there will also be a free update on May 26 for all players that will add new stages, stage fatalities, and most importantly, friendships!

Here’s everything we know so far about Aftermath:

What is The Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Story About?

The story of Aftermath picks up right at the conclusion of Mortal Kombat 11, so if you haven’t beaten it yet, consider this your spoiler warning.

From what little we’ve seen of Aftermath, it seems to almost exclusively follow the DLC characters: Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, Fujin, Sheeva, and Sindel. That’s great, because their parts in the main MK11 story were practically non-existent aside from a few short scenes with Sheeva.

After defeating Kronika, Raiden and the now literally godlike Liu Kang are about to create a brand-new timeline of their own making... only to be interrupted by Shang Tsung, who had been captured by Kronika (along with Fujin and Nightwolf) and was freed upon her defeat.

Shang Tsung warns that if Liu Kang creates a new timeline he will destroy all the realms because, in the process of defeating Kronika, he destroyed her crown. The crown essentially acted as the key to make Kronika’s hourglass work, and trying to use the hourglass without it would only invite disaster. And so, their only option is to send Shang Tsung, Fujin, and Nightwolf back in time in order to retrieve Kronika’s crown before she’s able to obtain it.

What Are The New Stages and Stage Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath?

There are two confirmed new stages: The Dead Pool and the Soul Chamber, both of which are classic Mortal Kombat stages. The Dead Pool originated in Mortal Kombat 2 in 1992 and the Soul Chamber debuted in Mortal Kombat 3 in 1995. Stage Fatalities are making a comeback as well, and we got our first taste of the Dead Pool stage fatality in the reveal trailer, where Sub-Zero uppercuts Scorpion onto a hook and is then lowered into a pool of acid.

The Return of Friendships in Mortal Kombat

Friendships have been missing in Mortal Kombat ever since 1996’s Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but they’re finally making a comeback in Aftermath. We’ve seen three so far: Scorpion spearing a huge teddy bear for a big ol’ hug, Noob Saibot using his clones to jump some rope, and Kano putting another shrimp on the barbie.

Which Characters Come in Kombat Pack 2?

Rather than release characters one by one, we’re getting three DLC characters up front as part of Kombat Pack 2:

• The Shokan queen Sheeva

• Raiden’s brother and the god of wind, Fujin

• RoboCop

Sheeva’s last playable appearance in a Mortal Kombat game was Mortal Kombat 9 in 2011, though she did have a brief part to play in the MK11 story. Sheeva’s gameplay style is described as a grappler, with throws to cover every situation. Low grapple, overhead grapple, anti-air grapple, and of course, her unblockable teleport slam.

Fujin hasn’t been a playable character in Mortal Kombat since Mortal Kombat Armageddon way back in 2006, but he has been present in Mortal Kombat lore since then, notably fighting alongside his brother in 2015’s Mortal Kombat X. His fighting style revolves around a sword, a crossbow, and his wind powers, the latter of which he uses to manipulate both his weapons and his enemies.

And then there’s Robocop, who features both the iconic voice and likeness of Peter Weller, who of course played Alex Murphy in the original RoboCop 1 and 2. RoboCop is described as a character who excels at keeping his opponents at bay with his Auto-9 pistol, flamethrower, riot shield, and shoulder cannon that can be loaded with various types of ammo.

Along with the three new characters, there will also be three new character skin packs that will be released over time.

How Much Will Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Cost?

There are three options when it comes to pre-ordering or purchasing Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath when it’s released on May 26. For those who own MK11 and the first Kombat Pack already, there’s a $39.99 upgrade pass that gets you all of the new content in Aftermath: both the story DLC and the Kombat Pack 2 characters.

If you have MK11, but not the first Kombat Pack, there’s a bundle containing Aftermath and Kombat Pack 1 that costs $49.99.

And finally, if you’re completely new to MK11 and want everything, there’s the Aftermath Kollection, which contains vanilla MK11, Kombat Pack 1, and the Aftermath expansion, all for the cost of $59.99. Physical versions will be available in June (for the Americas only).

It’s also important to emphasize that Friendships, the new stages, and stage fatalities are not part of Aftermath. They will all be part of a free update that will be available to all players.

And that’s everything we know! Let us know what character you’re most excited about in the poll below, and sound off in the comments.

So you’ve waited 13 years for another Half-Life game and now your adventures with Alyx have finally come to an end. Don’t leave your headset in the corner to gather a year’s worth of dust, though. Although Half-Life: Alyx sets the bar for what VR games can be, there are still plenty of other fantastic VR titles available for you to dive into. Whether you want a well-acted story, intense gunplay, or a whiff of Valve's humour, here are six fantastic VR games to play after Half-Life: Alyx. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/06/6-fantastic-vr-games-to-play-after-half-life-alyx"]

Boneworks

With its headcrab-style enemies, crowbar-wielding action, and copious amounts of environmental interactions, Boneworks has a lot in common with Half-Life: Alyx. This ambitious VR playground sees you fighting through a deadly army of rogue robot soldiers while you explore a dystopian virtual world known as MythOS. Although Boneworks doesn’t quite reach the narrative highs and polish you’d find in a Valve game, its realistic implementation of physics might just be what you’re after for a second helping of Valve-style VR. But, unlike Alyx’s small offering of firearms, Boneworks has a plethora of weapons, including an MP5, the humble frying pan, a katana, and even… a balloon gun? [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=6-fantastic-vr-games-to-play-after-half-life-alyx&captions=true"]

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners

Before playing Half-Life: Alyx I would never have described Half-Life as scary. Sure, those zombies might be a tad bit creepy, but they're nothing a bit of bunny hopping and a magnum bullet couldn’t take care of. In VR it's another story. Experiencing bloody, ripped-open chests and terrifyingly long claws is a haunting experience up close, and that's something Alyx shares with The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners. Aside from the obvious undead connection, Saints & Sinners stands alongside Alyx in terms of offering an immersive atmosphere that’s as scary as the darkest corners of City 17. You play as the Tourist, a survivor in search of a potentially limitless supply of life-saving goods hidden deep within the post-apocalyptic remains of New Orleans. On the surface this might seem like your standard zombie affair with survival mechanics, looting, and find-and-fetch quests. But Saints & Sinners surprisingly has a lot more in common with Deus Ex, as choices made within the story can affect other characters, factions, and even the ending. Most importantly, though, Saints & Sinners might just be the best zombie killing experience VR has to offer. The feeling of swiftly sinking a screwdriver deep into a walker's brain is deeply satisfying and provides the best ‘squish’ sound effect I’ve ever heard.

Blade & Sorcery

Half-Life: Alyx does a great job of establishing you as an actual person within the confined walls of City 17. Everything feels intuitive, whether you are simply pushing open a door or fighting off an angry headcrab. Blade & Sorcery is similar in that it benefits from a number of little details that together make a big difference to the experience. This medieval fantasy sandbox offers no quests, characters, or story to follow, but instead provides the ultimate fighting playground. We're talking immersive physics-driven melee combat, combined with ranged and magic-based attacks. You can pick from a large array of weapons such as daggers, spears, greatswords, and axes. And if you’re into modding, even a lightsaber or two. As chaotic as this all sounds, Blade & Sorcery still encourages you to be strategic and creative. With a handful of different enemy types to take on, such as archers, wizards, and shieldmen, you’ll find yourself trying out many different methods of attack. Should you use a rapier to pierce through an enemy's shield, or distract him with your lightning spell before you dive in for the kill? Much like Half-Life: Alyx, each weapon has its own weight and style of approach. If you’re thinking about one-handing a Greatsword for example, then… well, good luck with that. If you’re after a fluid, moddable, and downright fun fighting experience, then Blade & Sorcery is the game to check out.

Stormland

An element of Half-Life: Alyx that often goes unnoticed is how smooth its movement is. Valve clearly put a lot of time and effort into ensuring that players of all preferences would be comfortable. But unlike previous Half-Life games, Alyx is pretty slow, and so that lack of fast flowing movement may have left some feeling a bit nostalgic for Gordon's swifter strides. If you’re one of those people, Stormland's fluid movement around its immersive, sprawling world is something worth experiencing. This virtual jungle gym of jumping, climbing, and gliding is as an absolute pleasure to play, especially with a friend in co-op. As you explore this vast alien world, you’ll be blasting your way through enemy robots, sneaking around outposts, and causing an untold amount of havoc as you search for your missing friends. Much like Half-Life: Alyx, Stormland soars high with its fantastic movement system, and as a great showcase for what VR can offer.

Lone Echo

While Half-Life: Alyx will undoubtedly remain as a shining example of how far VR has come since its revitalised return in 2016, just a year into VR's resurgence saw another star rise above the rest in the form of Lone Echo. You take control of Jack, a robot working on a mining station orbiting Saturn, and to everyone’s surprise something has gone wrong. Alongside the ship's captain, you must take on the dangerous task of investigating what could have caused all this chaos. Much like Alyx, Lone Echo excels in delivering not only a well acted story, but an interesting and believable one too. So if you’ve got your space legs ready and set for an adventure, then this immersive zero-gravity story is exactly what you’re looking for.

Budget Cuts

Even though Half-Life: Alyx sees you take on vicious aliens and disgusting zombies, Valve’s wry sense of humour still shines through. With Portal writers Jay Pinkerton and Erik Wolpaw at the helm, it’s no surprise that the witty banter between Alyx and newcomer Russel is fantastic. For those looking to step into a world filled with dry humour and deadly corporations akin to Portal, you need look no further than Budget Cuts. Set in the dystopian hell of a depressed robot-filled corporate office, you’ll find yourself sneaking, stabbing, and teleporting your way through in order to escape. But unlike in Alyx, where you’re more than well equipped to handle any violent situation, patience is key in Budget Cuts as these weapon-toting robots won’t hold back.
