Ubisoft's open-world Greek myth adventure, Gods & Monsters, has officially been renamed Immortals Fenyx Rising. Announced on Twitter with a new logo, the reworked game will be shown at the next Ubisoft Forward broadcast on September 10:

GODS AND MONSTERS is no more Introducing

IMMORTALS FENYX RISING Tune into the Ubisoft Forward to find out more 8PM, THURSDAY 10TH SEPTEMBER pic.twitter.com/Ay0ga7z3N3 — Ubisoft_UK (@Ubisoft_UK) September 2, 2020

Gods & Monsters was first revealed at E3 2019, with an original release date of February 25, 2020, but was delayed late last year. A Stadia bug meant an early version of the game was briefly playable, but Ubisoft confirmed that it was the E3 2019 demo version of Gods & Monsters. The game has altered since then, in more ways than just its title; Eurogamer previously got a statement from Ubisoft, saying, "the game formerly known as Gods and Monsters has evolved in surprising ways, which is common when developing exciting new worlds [...] Much has changed since [E3 2019's demo] in terms of features, tone, art and character design, and even the name of the game." We got a tease that the game would be re-revealed yesterday, and you can check out some new shots of Immortals Fenyx Rising below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=gods-monsters-re-reveal-tease&captions=true"] When we first played the game formerly-known-as-Gods & Monsters, we discussed its similarities to Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but said it was far more than a clone, taking cues from Assassin's Creed and even Bastion along the way.

Magic: The Gathering's Zendikar Rising - the legendary card game's 85th set - will be released on September 25, and we have 4 new cards to show off. One of Zendikar Rising's new mechanics is the "party" system, built around the classic fantasy set-up of Warrior, Rogue, Cleric and Wizard - and we have a full party to show off. Check out the Kor Blademaster, Seafloor Stalker, Kitesail Cleric and Ardent Electromancer - as well as an art card which will be available in Zendikar Rising's new Set Boosters. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=magic-the-gathering-zendikar-rising-exclusive-card-reveals&captions=true"] The party mechanic revolves around offering benefits to decks that are able to play at least one each of a Warrior, Rogue, Cleric and Wizard. As you can see from the cards above, some cards will directly benefit from a full party, while others wil lsimply contribute to that count. Expect to see decks that revolve around specific party compositions to reap major rewards from the effects each card can have. As for the art card, that will be a part of the new Set Boosters, which have been designed to make a booster opening more exciting, offering an art card on top, followed by a set of interconnected cards and rarities. Zendikar Rising is the first in a run of cool-sounding Magic sets on the way, which includes a full Dungeons & Dragons crossover coming next year.

With most theaters still closed and movies delayed due to Covid-19, there is a growing list of films that have opted for digital release. The live-action adaptation of Mulan is joining that list, and it will soon be available to stream on Disney Plus starting on September 4. However, Disney Plus subscribers won’t automatically get access to Mulan at launch, and this detail along with some other fine print has added a bit of confusion around its premiere. Here’s everything you need to know to watch Disney’s Mulan, including where you can watch it and when it will be available for free. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/mulan-loyal-brave-and-true-clip"]

Where Can I Watch Mulan 2020?

Currently, the only place you can stream Mulan is on Disney Plus. However, it will also be available for purchase on select platforms such as Google Play, the Apple App Store, and Roku. Other platforms have not yet been confirmed. Regardless of where you choose to watch Mulan, the price of entry will be $29.99/£19.99/$34.99 (AUD) in addition to $6.99/£5.99/$8.99 (AUD) — or the cost of a monthly Disney Plus subscription. The Disney Plus site states that as long as you have a Disney Plus subscription, you will continue to have access to Mulan and can watch it as many times as you like. Disney Plus is supported in several regions across the world, including Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, India, and Japan (among many others). Some regions that don’t support Disney Plus, like China, will be getting a theatrical release. Here’s the list of places you can watch Mulan (links will be added once the pages are live):

• Disney Plus
• Google Play Films
• Apple App Store
• Roku

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=disneys-mulan-official-photos-from-the-live-action-remake&captions=true"]

What is Premiere Access on Disney Plus?

Premiere Access is essentially a one-time payment on top of the Disney Plus subscription to get access to Mulan.

When Can I Watch Mulan For Free?

If you don’t wish to spend more money on top of a subscription, Mulan will be available to all Disney Plus subscribers starting on December 4. For those without Disney Plus, it's technically not free since you still need to have a subscription to watch it, and unfortunately, a free trial offered directly from Disney Plus is currently not available. There are money-saving alternatives to consider, like Verizon's offer that includes 1 year of Disney Plus free with an unlimited data plan or the Hulu/Disney Plus/ESPN bundle for $12.99 (both in the US). You can also get six months free of Disney Plus when signing up with O2 in the UK, but all of these options still require you to spend money. Disney Plus also supports four different devices under each account (and they can all stream at the same time), so if you have a family member or good friend who is willing to share, that's an option too.

UPDATE: In the second such sighting in two months, a mysterious individual has been spotted flying in a jet pack near Los Angeles International Airport. According to CBS News, the jet pack man was reported by a China Airlines crew at around 1:45 pm on Wednesday. An FAA spokesperson informed CBS that the individual was flying at an altitude of about 6,000 feet roughly seven miles northwest of LAX. Local law enforcement and the FBI are investigating ... again. David Mayman, CEO of Jetpack Aviation, informed CBS he thinks it's possible it's a drone and not an actual man in a jet pack, although he can't rule that out given developing technologies. “How is it that nobody saw them take off and land? That’s what I don’t understand,” Mayman said. “These machines are pretty noisy.” Our original report about jet pack man's first sighting in September follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] The FBI is investigating multiple sightings from commercial airline pilots of a man flying in a jet pack near Los Angeles International Airport last Sunday night. An American Airlines pilot radioed the control tower at LAX to report that a man in a jet pack was flying off the left-hand side of their aircraft and at about the same altitude as the plane. The plane was at 3,000 feet and ten miles out from landing. “Tower, American 1997. We just passed a guy in a jet pack,” the Los Angeles Times quotes the pilot as saying. (Listen to the radio calls here.) A second pilot, with JetBlue Airways, also radioed in a report of a sighting of a man in a jet pack. [caption id="attachment_2401954" align="alignnone" width="720"] "I gotta get one of those."[/caption] The LA Times quoted an FBI spokesperson as saying the Bureau is looking into the reports made by the pilots. There's no word yet on whether the suspect is a Mandalorian, a Rocketeer, or just a suave British secret agent on a mission but in any event, the individual in question certainly has captured the attention of local media. (In all seriousness, though, if this guy was obstructing the path of incoming flights then he will likely be charged for endangering aircraft and those aboard them.) It should be noted that many aerospace and defense industry companies are situated in El Segundo, a community very close to LAX. Could it have been one of their R&D projects? Or maybe just someone wealthy and crazy enough to own their own jet pack. Let us know your theories on who or what this mysterious jetpack man is in the comments.

The full Tokyo Game Show 2020 schedule has been revealed, and an Xbox Tokyo Games Show Showcase will kick off the four-day event. No word on what will be revealed during the Xbox Showcase at TGS, but the schedule says Xbox’s stream will be about an hour long. Other presenters at TGS include Square Enix, Sega, Capcom, Konami, and Bandai Namco. Some companies have already shared at least part of their plans for TGS. Capcom announced it will show more of Resident Evil 8 at the Tokyo event. And there’s a new Cyberpunk 2077 Night City Wire set to premiere as well. Tokyo Game Show 2020 kicks off on September 24 and is planned as a digital-only event due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. TGS is the latest event to move online during the pandemic alongside other shows like Gamescom. Some events, like E3, have announced it will forgo an event altogether. You can check out the full event schedule above. IGN will cover the full event with help from our friends at IGN Japan. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt T.M. Kim is a reporter for IGN.
