Nintendo’s latest indie showcase offered an in-depth look at 14 upcoming Switch games, including some hitting the Nintendo console today, while also teasing nearly a dozen more for release in the coming months. Here’s everything Nintendo showed off in the August 18 Indie World Showcase:

It will make its debut on consoles on the Switch, presumably meaning PS4 and Xbox One versions will follow, sometime this fall.

Spiritfarer

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/30/spiritfarer-third-gameplay-teaser-trailer"] The previously announced Spiritfarer has a surprise launch today on Nintendo Switch (and presumably its another announced platforms, as the Indie Showcase mentions no console exclusivity). Spritifarer is a “cozy management game” that has players exploring the afterlife and helping to shepherd souls to their final rest. But, it’s also got a bright, colorful art style, platforming, and more.

It’s set to hit Switch as a timed console exclusive later today.

Bear and Breakfast

Ever wanted to run your own bed and breakfast? Ever wanted to be a bear? If you said yes to both those questions, then Bear and Breakfast is the game for you. Part adventure game, part management sim, players will star as the innkeeper Hank, a bear whose goal is to revitalize a shack into a thriving B&B, all while dealing with the mysteries of the surrounding forest. Bear and Breakfast is a timed console exclusive set for the Switch sometime in 2021.

A Short Hike

Acclaimed PC release A Short Hike is making the jump to consoles as a timed exclusive on Nintendo Switch later today.

Card Shark

From the creators of Reigns and published by Devolver Digital, Card Shark doesn’t ask you to be a great card player. It asks you to become someone who’s great at cheating at cards. Set in 18th century French society, the “game about cheating at cards” is slated for a 2021 release.

Torchlight III

Developer House House has announced that Untitled Goose Game will be getting a free, two-player cooperative mode in September, allowing two geese to wreak havoc simultaneously.

The new co-op mode will be available on September 23, via a free update that promises players can “enjoy the entire game as two horrible geese, with a new horrible honk, teaming up to plan some horrible pranks, and generally being horrible to everyone together."

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/untitled-goose-game-two-player-mode-trailer"]

Alongside this update, Untitled Goose Game will become available on Steam and itch.io, in addition to its current platforms: Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PS4, and Epic Games Store.

The latest clues in the WB Games Montreal teaser campaign seem to reference Batgirl and Two-Face.

Supergiant Games’ Hades, its roguelike exploration of the Underworld and Greek mythology, will make its console debut on Nintendo Switch this fall.

Announced in today's Nintendo Indie World presentation, the phrase "system debut" presumably means the game will hit Xbox and PlayStation at a later date, although that's unconfirmed at time of writing.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/12/13/hades-early-access-review"] From the developers of Bastion, Transistor, and Pyre, Hades is a roguelike that entered Early Access in late 2018 on the Epic Games Store and has since been released on Steam for PC as well. Supergiant has supported the game with a number of updates in its Early Access era. For more on Hades, be sure to check out our Hades Early Access review.

One of TV's most hilarious ensembles returns to Quibi with another batch of episodes next week. Part 2 of Reno 911! Season 7 is set to premiere on Quibi on August 24, 2020. Here's how Quibi describes Reno 911! Season 7: "Reno 911! lets viewers ride shotgun with the courageous men and women of the Reno Sheriff’s Department as they lay down the law and put it all on the line. The Reno 911! camera doesn’t blink - and when danger is near, the Reno Sheriff’s Department will be nearer." IGN is exclusively debuting the new Reno 911! Season 7, Part 2 trailer, which features an unlikely cameo from Weird Al Yankovic, which you can watch in the video below or at the top of the page: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/18/reno-911-season-7-part-2-official-trailer-2020"] Reno 911! Season 7 includes the original cast and creators, including Robert Ben Garant, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Thomas Lennon, Niecy Nash, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Cedric Yarbrough, Carlos Alazraqui, Ian Roberts, Joe Lo Truglio, and Mary Birdsong. Early this year, Reno 911! co-creator Thomas Lennon told IGN what it was like to get the original cast back together. "It was definitely a trip to have the entire original cast back together. It’s a little bit like being in the Eagles and then doing the Eagles 'Hell Freezes Over,' but the fact is that the cast was better, funnier and sharper now than any time before. It was amazing to see how everyone had grown as improvisers and actors, because everyone came out of the gate with no preparation." Be sure to check out Reno 911! Season 7, Part 2 when it premieres on Quibi on August 24, 2020. Let us know what you thought of the trailer in the comments section below.

Arkane has announced that Deathloop has been delayed to Q2 2021. This means it will no longer launch in the same window as the PS5 console, as originally announced at Sony's PS5 showcase earlier this year.

To the community, an update on DEATHLOOP: pic.twitter.com/XveoG6AgoT

— DEATHLOOP (@deathloop) August 18, 2020

The Dishonored developers explained in a statement posted to Twitter that the working-from-home situation required due to COVID-19 has meant that the creation and polish of the game is taking "longer than normal". The delay from holiday 2020 to Q2 2021 means it will land next spring, somewhere between April and June. "This extra time will allow our team to bring Deathloop's world to life with as much character and fun as you've come to expect from our team," said Arkane. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/10/deathloop-developer-update-video"] While we'll have to wait a few months longer to play Deathloop, Arkane promises that the next update on the game is "coming soon." If you've not yet caught up on what Deathloop is, take a look at our interview with the staff at Arkane Lyon, who explain how this ambitious story-based PvP campaign works.

Elite: Dangerous' Odyssey expansion is the primary focus for developer Frontier right now, but the game's space exploration core is "by no means done" - although Frontier hopes that if you didn't enjoy the space content, you might come in to play with Odyssey's new offerings anyway. The major 2021 expansion - which will let players land on, explore and shoot one another across many of the planets in the game's simulated galaxy - is taking up much of the developer's time right now, but it doesn't mark the end of updates to the version of Elite: Dangerous we already have. "We definitely have to focus in order to get the experience on foot to be as good as we want it to be," said game designer Luke Betterton to IGN. "It needs a similar level of focus to what we've previously given our in space content - and that's obviously had many, many years. But [space content] is by no means done. This is an expansion to the existing game. It's not a case of: 'You've had this one and now we're going to give you that one and we're just going to move that way.'" [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=elite-dangerous-odyssey-expansion-10-screenshots-and-art-images&captions=true"] Key to that idea is in how Odyssey is designed not to sit alongside the core game as a separate piece, but within it: "The Odyssey experience is going to go pretty much hand-in-hand with the existing experience," Betterton continues. "You'll be able to fly around, you'll be able to step out of your ship, you'll be able to do things that are on foot and then just hop back in your ship and continue an experience that is fairly seamless." However, while Odyssey aims to fit within Elite's structure, allowing you to extend the usual offerings of exploration, combat, and trade, it's being designed to feel like an entirely new activity, from collecting samples of undiscovered flora, to turning the usual strategic spacefighting into what looks like more frenetic on-foot firefights. Frontier hopes that means Elite's appeal will broaden along with the gameplay: "It's about making Elite, as a kind of simulation and game experience, just so much more full," explains Betterton." There is more to do at every single moment. And if you perhaps didn't find something in the original version of Elite - because you're not that into spaceships perhaps - you can do all of the on-foot stuff regardless. It will allow all those people to actually find something in Elite that they necessarily didn't have before." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/18/elite-dangerous-odyssey-expansion-dev-diary-1"] Elite: Dangerous - Odyssey will launch in early 2021, and will include full planets to land on, as well as contracts that allow for diplomacy, commerce, lethal stealth, and all-out combat. There will be "diverse settings, objectives, and NPCs" that offer "endless mission variety and a near infinite amount of content to enjoy."

LeBron James has given fans a sneak peek of the Tune Squad jersey that he'll be wearing in Space Jam: A New Legacy. The Twitter account for the LeBron James Family Foundation unveiled a first look of the NBA star suited up in the new uniform, which he will be showcasing out on the basketball court in Space Jam 2.

Would it be the Family Reunion without a special surprise?! @mavcarter gives our I Promise families the first ever look at @KingJames in his @spacejammovie ‘A New Legacy’ jersey! pic.twitter.com/XsPYL1dvcU

— LeBron James Family Foundation (@LJFamFoundation) August 18, 2020

The colourful jersey sports the iconic Looney Tunes concentric circles, wrapping around the side of the uniform, set against a powder blue backdrop with orange trim. It also features the "Tune Squad" team logo together with the individual player's number. LeBron famously wore the No. 6 jersey during his run with the Miami Heat and the USA National Team. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/03/27/star-trek-discoverys-sonequa-martin-green-joins-space-jam"] This reveal comes shortly after LeBron, who is teaming up with the Looney Tunes for more basketball-based hijinks in the forthcoming follow-up, posted a video of him wearing a black hat emblazoned with the sequel's logo, which pays homage to the original Michael Jordan-starring movie, with a similar circular pattern wrapped around the title's cosmic-style text. With more and more teasers being posted for the animated/live-action mash-up, Space Jam: A New Legacy appears to be on schedule to slam-dunk its July 16, 2021 release date despite all of the other recent shifts, shake-ups, and delays in the film industry that have occurred as a result of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

Update: After almost two weeks Fall Guys' charity auction for a new skin has ended, and a joint donation of $1 million between G2 Esports, Aim Lab, and Streamers Ninja and Mr. Beast has won.

BIDDING IS FINISHED

THE WINNERS ARE:@G2esports @Ninja @AimLab @MrBeastYT With a combined donation of $1,000,000 for @SpecialEffect Probably the spiciest team up since The Avengers??????https://t.co/Q2G3h9UyDh — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 31, 2020

This means Fall Guys will create a skin based on Ninja, Mr. Beast, Aim Lab, and G2 Esports which will eventually find its way into the popular battle royale. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Original Story: Fall Guys has initiated a "Battle of the Brands" bidding contest to bring themed skins to the game, in aid of UK games charity Special Effect. Announced via the Fall Guys Twitter account, the contest will run for two weeks, at which point the highest bidder will work with Mediatonic to bring a branded skin to the game. The winning donation will go to Special Effect, a charity focused on putting "fun and inclusion back into the lives of people with physical disabilities by helping them to play video games." You can learn more about Special Effect's mission statement here. In less than 16 hours, the donation total has already breached $100,000, with bids arriving from many high profile brands including G2 Esports, Warframe and The Sidemen.

BATTLE OF THE BRANDS

The thirst from brands has been unreal... so we're turning it into something positive! Prize: Your brand inside Fall Guys as a costume! To enter: Reply to this tweet with the highest amount of money you would be willing to donate to @SpecialEffect — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 17, 2020

Warframe started the bidding at $20,000, opting to adapt the design of 'The Lotus' for Fall Guys if they won. YouTube brand The Sidemen later doubled Warframe's bid with a $40,000 donation, before being superseded by a number of brands overnight. The current highest bidder is G2 Esports at $130,003, who posted a concept for a Samurai-themed Fall Guy to coincide with their branding. We're sure this won't be the last bid over the next two weeks.

Laurence Fishburne has confirmed that he won't be reprising the iconic role of Morpheus for Lana Wachowski's The Matrix 4, as he admitted that he "has not been invited" to return. According to The Wrap, Fishburne told New York Magazine that he was never approached about joining the upcoming Matrix sequel, even though several actors from the original trilogy are returning to reprise their respective roles. "I have not been invited. Maybe that will make me write another play. I wish them well. I hope it's great," Fishburne told the publication. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/03/28/the-matrix-trilogy-in-six-minutes"] "It is probably the role that I'll be best remembered for, which is great; it's not the only thing I'll be remembered for, which is better," he added, reflecting back on his time playing the character. "What I get with him is I've got Darth Vader in this hand, and I've got Obi-Wan in that hand. I've got Bruce Lee, I've got Muhammad Ali shuffled in there, and I've got kung fu." Fishburne's absence from the cast list might be because Morpheus was killed in The Matrix Online, an MMORPG that continues the saga of The Matrix movie trilogy. The game tells the story of Morpheus' attempts to recover Neo's body from the Machines and his subsequent rampage through the MegaCity. The Machines respond by sending the Assassin after Morpheus who later dies from gunshot wounds. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-matrix-4-every-actor-and-character-confirmed-for-the-sequel&captions=true"] While very little is known about the plot of The Matrix 4, the producers were reportedly looking for two actors to portray younger versions of Neo and Morpheus last year, though there has been no further word on these prospective casting choices. Will the young Neo/Morpheus scenes be flashbacks, or will those characters somehow be rebooted in a new version of the Matrix? Plug into the rumours by checking out our history of stories surrounding the fourth film and take a look at everything that we know about the sequel so far.
