Sony has confirmed that the company has identified those who leaked large parts of The Last of Us Part 2 online, as well as that these persons were not members involved with Sony Interactive Entertainment nor Naughty Dog. In a statement first reported by GamesIndustry.Biz and confirmed by IGN, Sony offered an update on its search for the leakers. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-last-of-us-part-2-new-screenshots&captions=true"]

"SIE has identified the primary individuals responsible for the unauthorized release of TLOU2 assets.  They are not affiliated with Naughty Dog or SIE. We are unable to comment further because the information is subject to an on-going investigation. We’re looking forward to when The Last of Us Part II will be in your hands and can’t wait for you to enjoy the full experience on June 19."

The Last of Us Part 2 creative director Neil Druckmann also commented on the leaks following the original publication of Sony's statement, saying "Glad this got cleared up, but there are a lot of other false rumors out there. Looking forward to discussing all of this once the game is out." Potential The Last of Us Part 2 spoilers began leaking online en masse over the last week, just as Sony announced a new June 19 release date for The Last of Us Part 2. Since then, we've learned The Last of Us Part 2 will require 100GB of hard drive space on your PS4 or PS4 Pro. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/how-to-avoid-the-last-of-us-part-2-spoilers-ign-daily-fix"] The Last of Us Part 2 had been delayed indefinitely early in April, and Druckmann addressed the delay at that time. Originally set for a May 29 release, The Last of Us has only had a few weeks' delay ultimately, with fellow PS4 exclusive Ghost of Tsushima also being delayed into July from its original June 26 release date.

Researchers have discovered that Spinosaurus aegyptiacus had a "paddle-like" tail to propel itself through the water – bolstering the case that this particular species of dinosaur was capable of aquatic movement. National Geographic reports that the fossilised tail of the Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, unearthed in southern Morocco, provides fresh insight into how the 50-foot-long, seven-ton predator may have lived in an underwater habitat.

According to the study, published in the journal Nature, Spinosaurus had a, "tail with an unexpected and unique shape" made up of "extremely tall neural spines and elongate chevrons" to form "a large, flexible fin-like organ." The study described the results as, "the most extreme aquatic adaptation ever seen in a large dinosaur." "The Spinosaurus' fin-like tail is a game-changing discovery for us that fundamentally alters our understanding of how this dinosaur lived and hunted – it was actually a 'river-monster,'" David Unwin, a reader in Palaeobiology at the University of Leicester, said in a statement. "Not only did dinosaurs dominate the land and take to the air as birds, they even went back into the water and became the top predators there, as well." [caption id="attachment_2345869" align="alignnone" width="2200"] Image Credit: Jason Treat, NG Staff, and Mesa Schumacher / Art: Davide Bonadonna / Source: Nizar Ibrahim, University of Detroit Mercy[/caption] Many will recall that the Spinosaurus featured prominently in the 2001 movie Jurassic Park III. For years, this fictional portrayal has been surrounded by unconfirmed theories that the dinosaur was a semiaquatic predator, but researchers say that this new study should finally put any lingering doubts about it to rest. "This discovery is the nail in the coffin for the idea that non-avian dinosaurs never invaded the aquatic realm," explained Dr Nizar Ibrahim, who led the project. "This dinosaur was actively pursuing prey in the water column, not just standing in shallow waters waiting for fish to swim by. It probably spent most of its life in the water." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-deaths-in-the-jurassic-park-movies&captions=true"] For more dinosaur discoveries and developments, read about the complete skull of the smallest known dinosaur that was found preserved in amber, find out about the new tyrannosaur species, dubbed "Reaper of Death" by scientists, and take a look at a recent study that suggests mercury contamination occurred prior to dinosaur extinction.

Taking place on May 4 and May 5, the online celebration will be staged across social media accounts associated with ReedPop properties, including New York Comic-Con, C2E2, BookCon, Emerald City Comic Con and Florida SuperCon, on both Twitter and Facebook. You can check out the full schedule for the festival on the New York Comic-Con website here. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/04/the-star-wars-saga-timeline-in-chronological-order"] This comes shortly after it was confirmed that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker would be available to stream two months early on Disney+, further encouraging fans to enjoy festivities on their own home planet for Star Wars Day this year. Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian, a brand new eight-episode documentary series, taking viewers behind-the-scenes of the space western, will also start streaming on May 4, the same day that the Clone Wars Season 7 finale lands on the streamer. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=top-10-best-star-wars-movie-moments&captions=true"] With more and more conventions being postponed or cancelled in light of the worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have started to see a steady upturn in the entertainment offerings available online, as event organisers try to find new ways for fans to immerse themselves in their favourite properties from the safety of their own homes. At this point, however, it is unknown whether Star Wars Celebration (currently scheduled for August 27-30 in Anaheim) will be removed from the event calendar altogether, similarly to SXSW (which was cancelled this year for the first time in 34 years) or whether it could be replaced by a digital alternative.
