Under, the horror game with shades of P.T. set on a sinking ship, will arrive for PC on October 25, with console releases to follow at a later date - and we've got an exclusive new trailer to show you. Set on an abandoned, sinking ocean liner in the aftermath of a torpedo strike, Under has you playing WW1 veteran Alexander Dockter and attempting to escape the flooding lower decks, and hostile entities stalking the halls. Check out a brand new trailer below. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/08/under-trailer-2-exclusive"] Speaking to IGN, developer Globiss Interactive explains that the game is structured as a single, seven-deck ocean liner, beginning on the lower decks and having players travel to the top decks to escape. However, it won't necessarily be that simple - some puzzles will require returning to the lower decks and into the flood to progress. The game will involve a mixture of puzzle solving, action (both in terms of escaping the flood and combat), and stealth, as you try and avoid the gruesome creatures around the ship - which may be a visualiation of Alexander's own trauma from the war. While the initial release will solely be for PC, a Switch version is also in active development - publisher Rogue and Globiss plan to ship it as close to the PC release as possible but can't yet commit to a specific date. You can wishlist the game on Steam now, and check out 5 minutes of Under gameplay [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News. Follow him on Twitter.

The Mandalorian Season 2 will expand the ideas introduced in the debut season and explore the larger Star Wars universe, including new stories that won’t be isolated to the main character. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, series creator and executive producer Jon Favreau said “The new season is about introducing a larger story in the world. The stories become less isolated, yet each episode has its own flavor, and hopefully we’re bringing a lot more scope to the show.” The EW reports says Favreau notes that stories will look beyond being "Mando-centric", suggesting we could see episodes that frame the supporting cast as protagonists. That supporting cast features Carl Weathers and Gina Carano, who can both be seen in a new photo from EW below. “Everything gets bigger, the stakes get higher,” said director, writer, and executive producer Dave Filoni. “But also the personal story between the Child and the Mandalorian develops in a way I think people will enjoy.” Season 2 will introduce a variety of new characters to The Mandalorian’s sector of the Star Wars universe. While there have been no confirmations, it is believed that Rosario Dawson is onboard playing fan favorite Ahsoka Tano, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze, and Temuera Morrison returning to Star Wars to potentially play Boba Fett or a clone trooper. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/27/the-mandalorian-season-2-is-coming-fall-2020"] “As we introduce other characters, there are opportunities to follow different storylines,” Favreau said. “The world was really captivated by Game of Thrones and how that evolved as the characters followed different storylines — that's very appealing to me as an audience member.” Perhaps the most anticipated character, though (aside from Baby Yoda/The Child) is the return of Moff Gideon, played by Giancarlo Esposito. “I’ll be going toe-to-toe with Mando,” Esposito told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s an iconic battle. I want to disarm him mentally as well. Who knows? Maybe there’s an opportunity to get him to fight some battles for me. You may think I’m a villain, but I’m trying to harness some energy and some powers for a path that could be best for all. You'll get to see him be somewhat diplomatic and more of a manipulator." Alongside the Darksaber, Esposito also hints at Gideon commanding a “larger vehicle”, whatever that could mean (will Season 2 feature a Star Destroyer?)

Eiji Aonuma, producer of The Legend of the Zelda series, has said those looking for new updates for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 will have to "wait a bit longer." Speaking during the announcement video for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, a new game set 100 years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Aonuma said the team is working hard on the long-awaited sequel, and he asked fans to have a bit of patience until new updates arrive. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/08/hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity-official-trailer"] "We mentioned in the June 2019 Nintendo Direct presentation that we had started development on the sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," Aonuma said. "Many people around the world are still playing Breath of the Wild, so I'd like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Everyone, thank you so much. Regarding the sequel, in order to make the vast world you enjoyed exploring in the original game even more impressive, the team is working hard on its development, so you'll have to wait a bit longer before we can provide more updates." In the meantime, Aonuma helped announce a new game that will let players return to Breath of the Wild's Hyrule 100 years before the events of the first game and experience the Great Calamity. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/06/11/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-sequel-reveal-trailer"] Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will allow players to learn more about the BOTW's world and play as Link, Zelda, the four champions - Mipha, Revali, Urbosa, and Daruk - and more. Additionally, it will feature 2-player co-op, and will be filled with environmental puzzles, unlockable weapons and skills, crafting, shops, the Sheikah Slate, and more.

Nintendo has announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, a new game set 100 years before The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and it will be released on Switch on November 20, 2020. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will allow players to learn more about Zelda, the four Champions - Mipha, Revali, Urbosa, and Daruk - the King of Hyrule, and more through "dramatic cutscenes as they try to save the kingdom from Calamity." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/08/hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity-official-trailer"] This new game, which is being developed by Koei Tecmo and will let players experience the Great Calamity referenced in Breath of the Wild for themselves, will have "Link, Zelda, and more use their distinct abilities" to take down everything from "barbaric Bokoblins to towering Lynels." In addition to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity supporting local, 2-player co-op, it will also challenge players to solve environmental puzzles, unlock weapons and skills, craft with gathered materials, visit shops to obtain items, and use the power of the Sheikah Slate. If you choose to pre-order Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, you will receive the Lucky Ladle as an in-game bonus weapon for Link. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=hyrule-warriors-age-of-calamity-screenshots-and-art&captions=true"] in 2014, Nintendo released the original Hyrule Warriors, a Musou-style game similar to the Dynasty Warriors franchise, and it featured many characters and enemies from the long history of The Legend of Zelda series. It was released on Switch in 2018 and, in our review of Hyrule Warriors, we said it "Surprisingly, Hyrule Warriors does a good job of tying together the combat of Dynasty Warriors and the revered characters and lore of the Legend of Zelda series in a way that makes me feel powerful in a world I love. Character customization adds unique flavor to the simple combat, and the satisfying weapons, rewards, and story make it a fun alternative to the typically serious Zelda games." Eiji Aonuma, producer on the Legend of Zelda series, did mention that fans looking for new updates on Breath of the Wild 2 will have to "wait a bit longer," so hopefully this new experience will make that wait a little easier.

Lords of the Fallen 2 is onto its third developer, with the game now set to launch on PC and next-gen consoles. According to a press release seen by PCGamesN, the sequel to Lords of the Fallen is now being helmed by a new studio called Hexworks, which is made up of "veteran staff with AAA game development experience" and was opened by publisher CI Games in Bucharest and Barcelona earlier this year. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2014/09/22/lords-of-the-fallen-developer-commentary"] The original Lords of the Fallen was developed by Deck13 and launched in 2014. The studio was in pre-production on Lords of the Fallen 2 shortly after but left the project in 2015, going on to work on futuristic soulslike series The Surge. In 2018, Defiant Studios took over the project, scrapping Deck13's work and starting from scratch. Now in 2020, it appears that the development of Lords of the Fallen 2 has changed hands once more, as Hexworks has taken over from Defiant Studios. According to the press release, there will be a tone shift "from the original's power fantasy to a dark fantasy," and the game will focus on trying to adapt features that Soulsborne fans will enjoy. Hexworks has been hard at work for most of 2020, making "significant progress" on Lords of the Fallen 2. We reviewed Lords of the Fallen back in 2014, scoring it a 7.4, noting its "fun combat." We also included the game in our list of games that every Dark Souls fan should play. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Jordan Oloman is a freelance writer for IGN. Follow him on Twitter.
