A recent Marvel's Avengers War Table may have contained an Easter Egg that hints at a future appearance by Kate Bishop's Hawkeye. Clint Barton's Hawkeye was recently confirmed to be joining Marvel's Avengers as a playable hero post-launch, and some concept art and a mention of the My Life as A Weapon comic may be teasing fans of a future appearance by Kate Bishop, as a playable hero or otherwise. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/29/hawkeye-reveal-trailer-for-marvels-avengers-4k"] Our detective work begins back at Marvel's Avengers first War Table where Kamala Khan finds an old photo of the Avengers Crew, which includes Tony Stark (Iron Man), Thor, Steve Rogers (Captain America), Natasha Romanova (Black Widow), Bruce Banner (Hulk), and Clint Barton (Hawkeye), standing together in their street clothes. As you can see in the image below, Hawkeye is sporting a bullseye logo. This is important because in Hawkeye's official reveal, a different logo is shown. This could simply mean Barton retired the old logo for a new one following the disaster that struck the Avengers, but a piece of concept art shared with his reveal hints at another story. Crystal Dynamics was very clear in stating that My Life as A Weapon, by writer Matt Fraction and artist David Aja, was the team's favorite comic arc for Hawkeye. The aforementioned concept art, which includes that old logo, was also drawn from this comic. Why does this matter? Because Hawkeye Volume 1: My Life as A Weapon includes Young Avengers Presents #6, which tells the story of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop's first meeting. While this obviously could just be a nod to Hawkeye's past, Kate Bishop is a very popular character that would be a welcome addition to Marvel's Avengers. This makes even more sense when you consider she will be appearing in Marvel's Hawkeye series on Disney+. While only time will tell if this ends up being true, what's wrong with a little glimmer of hope?

PlayStation 4 sales have surpassed 112 million units, Sony announced today as part of its quarterly earnings report. During the first quarter of its fiscal year (April 1–June 30), Sony reported PS4 sales of 1.9 million units, bringing its lifetime sales total to 112.3 million. The year-over-year decrease — Sony sold 3.2 million PS4s during the same time frame in 2019 — was expected considering the approaching launch of PlayStation 5. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=playstation-5-and-playstation-5-digital-edition-console-design-images&captions=true"] Overall revenue from Sony's Game & Network Services division was up 32% compared to the same quarter last year, thanks to strong software and subscription sales. The company sold 91 million software units during the quarter, according its supplemental report, with 18.5 million of those being first-party titles. Sony released The Last of Us Part II in June, which became the fastest-selling PS4 exclusive ever by moving four million copies in its first three days. 74% of all PlayStation game sales last quarter were digital, a significant bump compared to 53% from the same period last year. Digital spending has increased across the industry throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to record video game-related spending in the U.S earlier this year. Sony is well-positioned to capitalize on the market shift with an all-digital PlayStation 5 option this holiday. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/03/ps5-digital-vs-xbox-lockhart-buying-next-gen-on-a-budget-next-gen-console-watch"] PS Plus subscriptions, meanwhile, rose to 44.9 million. As noted by GamesIndustry.biz, its quarterly jump of 3.4 million subscriptions is one of the largest in company history. Monthly Active Users, which Sony defines as the estimated number of unique accounts that engaged with the PlayStation Network in June, reached 113 million. For comparison, Microsoft reported "nearly 90 million" monthly active Xbox Live users at the end of April. For more on PlayStation, be sure to check out everything we know about PS5. And stay tuned to IGN later this week for full coverage of Sony's PS4- and PSVR-focused State of Play. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan is a freelance writer for IGN.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare's Season 5 begins on Friday, August 5, and the full details include major changes to the Warzone map, unlockable music tracks for vehicles, new multiplayer maps, and much more. After weeks of teases, Season 5 arrives in a massive patch (that will apparently shrink your game file), and we have all the major details below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=call-of-duty-warzone-season-5-images&captions=true"]

Warzone Season 5 - Map Changes

• The Stadium Opens: After 4 seasons closed, Verdansk Stadium has now opened up, featuring a cover-strewn football pitch, rows of seating, underground parking and multiple routes of entrance and exit.
• Freight Train Added: A huge new train will now be circling the Southwestern part of the map at all times, allowing for an interesting new dynamic for squads, who could take it over and hold carriages while on the move.
• Train Station Opens: To celebrate the addition of the train itself, the Verdansk Train Station is now also open, including a main ticket hall, platforms, and plenty of new indoor areas to explore.
• Exterior Ascenders: Tall building roofs were previously only accessible by dropping form the air, or riding an elevator cable, making them relatively easily defensible. The new season complicates matters a bit, by adding exterior cables to multiple buildings, offering new points of access to take down snipers.

Warzone Season 5 - New Mode, Weapons and Customisation

• Mini Royale Mode: This is a fast-paced variant of the classic Warzone BR experience, lowering the number of players, and only including the first and last five minutes of the normal experience - essentially, it should be faster and bloodier.
• New Weapon Pickups: Items in supply crates have been rotated once more, adding eight Common, 13 Uncommon, 15 Rare, 19 Epic, and 25 Legendary different variants to discover and equip.
• Wartracks: A new customisation option, Wartracks are unlockable songs that can be attached to vehicles like paint jobs or horn noises, and will play for yourself and all passengers when you're driving. Three Wartracks will be available on day one, and all will be instantly unlocked if you purchase the Battle Pass.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=call-of-duty-modern-warfare-multiplayer-season-5-images&captions=true"]

Multiplayer Season 5 - New Maps

• Livestock (Gunfight Map): A rural compound with a central barn, this Gunfight map includes a large central area with multiple flank routes.
• Petrov Oil Rig (6v6 Map): Split into five sections this oil rig map includes a lifeboat muster area, helicopter pad, bridge, cafeteria and rig drill. It's designed for close to mid-range combat with small areas with sniper-friendly sightlines.
• Suldal Harbor (6v6 Map): This port area is peppered with choke points ideal for snipers to watch, but multiple interior or cramped areas for close range attacks.
• Verdansk International Airport (Ground War Map): Based on the Warzone area, the airport include a large indoor area, along with huge open runways and hangars.

Multiplayer Season 5 - New Modes and Missions

• Bare Bones: A new playlist of TDM, Domination, HQ, Hardpoint and Kill Confirmed maps with a crucial twist - no killstreaks, field upgrades or perks.
• Search and Destroy Double Down: A larger version of Search & Destroy - it's 12v12, not 6v6.
• New Mastery Challenges: For "the most elite players", there are more than a dozen new challenges to max out your weaponry skills.

Season 5 Battle Pass

• Instant Unlocks: Buying the new Battle Pass will immediately earn you a new Operator, Lerch, the head of the new Shadow Company faction. You'll also receive three Wartracks, the a Rodion Opeartor skin, and a 10% XP boost for the season.
• New Weapons: At Tier 15, players will unlock the new ISO SMG, a close range, lightweight gun with rapid rate of fire. At Tier 31, you'll unlock the AN-94 AR with a "hyperburst" feature that fires a full-auto volley, followed by a second round, without much recoil. Both of these are free to all players once the Tier level is reached.
• New Unlocks: Other new Battle Pass unlocks include skins for multiple characters, the Nevermore finisher (where a raven kills your opponent), 15 new weapon blueprints, and a Compass watch.
• Tier 100 Unlocks: Reaching the top Battle Pass tier will net you the Rook skin for Roze, the Veil vehicle skin, and The Company's Might, an Assault Rifle Lima with negative tracer rounds.

Back in June, Baldur's Gate 3 developer Larian Studios said that the early access release of its Dungeons & Dragons RPG would happen in August. Maybe. Well, as the developer announced today, it turns out that maybe clause has come into effect. Baldur's Gate 3's early access release won't happen this month. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/13/baldurs-gate-3-new-guerrilla-collective-trailer"] Announced on Twitter, Larian said "BG3 won’t hit August, but it’s just around the corner." The studio does have a release date set, though, and will reveal it as part of the 'Panel From Hell', which takes place at 10am PT on August 18. Larian boss Swen Vincke will be joined by his team and Geoff Keighley to deliver the news.

Good news and bad news. BG3 won’t hit August, but it’s just around the corner. We’ll be announcing the release date, as well as big news on the Panel From Hell alongside @geoffkeighley, @LarAtLarian and the Larian crew. Tune in Aug 18th. https://t.co/S1RlVpJ8yw pic.twitter.com/NCkrnHHpH0
