Flying Wild Hog, the developers behind the Shadow Warrior series, has announced a new game at The Game Awards titled Evil West. It’s a new solo and co-op action game set in a dark fantasy wild west set to arrive sometime in 2021. Evil West takes place in an alternate American west. As Jesse Rentier, a vampire hunter, it’s up to you to traverse the lawless land and rid the United States of, what else, vampires. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/11/evil-west-reveal-trailer"] Players will use a wide arsenal that includes firearms, a lightning-fueled gauntlet, and other gadgets in either solo or co-op gameplay to take on the evil horde.

New Elder Scrolls Online Gates of Oblivion Expansion Revealed

The newest Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) chapter has been announced, called Gates of Oblivion and will release sometime in 2021. The cinematic trailer shows chanting coming from what appears to be a spell book, with a female wood elf having visions of a dark, ominous, and fire-filled tunnel. The book looks to be releasing the visions she's having through the cover and a sudden view of a large, demon-looking creature appears over her as she prepares to fight. The trailer can be watched below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/11/the-elder-scrolls-online-gates-of-oblivion-cinematic-trailer"] Bethesda also announced a Global Reveal Event on January 21, 2021 at 5pm PST where further details for Gates of Oblivion will be released, including new worlds, challenges, and systems. Elder Scrolls Online releases expansions – or better known as "chapters" – every year, which opens up a new region in Tamriel on the map in game relating to the alliances and races. Previous chapters include: Morrorwind, Summerset, Elsweyr, and most recently, Greymoor.

It Takes Two Could Take 15 Hours to Complete

It Takes Two should take 14 or 15 hours to complete, and its creator, Josef Fares, thinks it should win a world record for the number of mechanics included in a game. The co-op only platform adventure from Hazelight got a new trailer and release date at The Game Awards and, in an interview with IGN, Fares went into more detail about how the game balances its magic-tinged story of mending a relationship, and its large number of settings and activities. Fares and Hazelight's last game, A Way Out was notable for changing how players interacted with the game throughout the story, and It Takes Two builds on that idea: "I think it's going to go to the world record with a huge amount of variation we have in the mechanics. And there are reasons to it as well." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/11/it-takes-two-gameplay-reveal-trailer"] "We really need to look closer on how the mechanics are connected to the story," Fares continues, "and I really, truly believe that in [other] narrative games, sometimes designers and writers are [making] two different games. We need to drop the idea of the old thing where you learn your mechanic and blah, blah, blah, you get better. That's old design rules. I don't care about them. They could function and work in another game but, in story experiences, you have to have the [game] and the narrative meld together. This is what we're trying to do. Everything the characters are seeing, or interacting with, or encountering is part of the gameplay." Even in the two-minute trailer, we see multiple settings and activities, one after another, and Fares is very clear on the point that this is the feeling throughout the game - and it's been a force of will to make that happen: "The variation of the gameplay is important, both for the story but also to keep the player invested, so you feel that you don't lose interest – you're a part of it. I mean, how many games don't you feel like, 'I've done this so many times. This is enough'? [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=it-takes-two-game-awards-trailer-screenshots&captions=true"] "The designers have gone totally nuts. I push them so hard, like, 'Come on, let's do this. We can do this. Let's do this, let's do that.' And sometimes they tell me, 'Josef, this thing will take us four or five months to make and we only use it for these two minutes.' But for me it's the same argument as saying, 'Oh, we have such a cool scene in this movie. Let's reuse this exact scene over there.' No, it doesn't make sense. It would make it even less special, so we have to start letting go of old ideas on how we look at games." The upshot is that It Takes Two will seemingly be a far meatier experience than most narrative games of its kind. "It's going to be a long one," Fares tells me. "Yeah, like we're talking 14, 15 hours of unique madness [...]  I'm telling you, looking at how much content is crammed into this game is crazy." [poilib element="quoteBox" parameters="excerpt=You%20will%20be%20mindf**ked.%20I%20know%20I'm%20confident%2C%20but%20you%20play%20this%20game%20and%20tell%20me%20not%20to%20be%20confident"] Fares, as you might expect from his past interviews, is pretty enthusiastic about the project, and makes very clear that he and his studio have built something unique: "We've been working really hard with this for three years, and damn, it will be an experience. Let me tell you that. You will be mindf**ked. I know I'm confident, but you play this game and tell me not to be confident. I'm telling you, you have not experienced anything like this." It Takes Two will be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC on March 26, 2021. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Joe Skrebels is IGN's Executive Editor of News. Follow him on Twitter.

Dune Director Denis Villeneuve Speaks Out Against Warner Bros. 2021 Film Slate Move

Dune director Denis Villeneuve has spoken out against Warner Bros. decision to release all of its 2021 film slate onto HBO Max the same day as their theatrical release. Villeneuve wrote out his words on Variety, and said that "with this decision, AT&T has hijacked one of the most respectable and important studios in film history." Villeneuve said that there was "absolutely no love for cinema, nor the audience here. It is all about the survival of a telecom mammoth, one that is currently bearing an astronomical debt of more than $150 billion." "With HBO Max's launch a failure thus far," Villeneuve wrote. "AT&T decided to sacrifice Warner Bros.' entire 2021 slate in a desperate attempt to grab the audience's attention." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/04/the-pros-and-cons-of-wbs-industry-shaking-move"] He explained how "filmmaking is a collaboration,' and that this decision by Warner Bros. mens that "they are no longer on the same team." Villeneuve believes that "streaming services are a positive and powerful addition to the movie and TV ecosystems," but he believe streaming alone can't "sustain the film industry as we knew it before COVID." While streaming services can produce great content, Villeneuve says it can't produce "movies of Dune's scope and scale." He also believes that Dune won't have the chance to perform financially in order to be viable and that piracy will be a consequence of this decision. Furthermore, he says that this move "have just killed the Dune franchise." Villeneuve agrees that public safety comes first and that he understood and supported the decision to delay Dune by over a year. The new plan was to release Dune in October 2021 when "vaccinations will be advanced and, hopefully, the virus behind us. Science tells us that everything should be back to a new normal next fall." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=everything-coming-to-hbo-max&captions=true"] Dune, according to Villeneuve, is the best movie he has ever made and was designed specifically for theaters. He also does "strongly believe that the future of cinema will be on the big screen, no matter what any Wall Street dilettante says." He continues by saying that film is an art form that "brings people together, celebrating humanity, enhancing our empathy for one another — it’s one of the very last artistic, in-person collective experiences we share as human beings." "So, just as I have both a fiduciary and creative responsibility to fulfill as the filmmaker, I call on AT&T to act swiftly with the same responsibility, respect and regard to protect this vital cultural medium," Villeneuve concludes. "Economic impact to stakeholders is only one aspect of corporate social responsibility. Finding ways to enhance culture is another. The moviegoing experience is like no other. In those darkened theaters films capture our history, educate us, fuel our imagination and lift and inspire our collective spirit. It is our legacy. Long live theatrical cinema!" Villeneuve's comments follows those by Christopher Nolan, who called HBO Max "the worst streaming service" in response to Warner Bros. 2021 film slate move. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/09/dune-official-trailer"] Wonder Woman 1984 will be the first of these films to premiere day and date in theaters and on HBO Max on December 25, 2020. Other films impacted include The Matrix 4 and Mortal Kombat. For more, check out the pros and cons to Warner Bros’ HBO Max streaming deal and everything coming to HBO Max.

A Way Out Creator’s It Takes Two Gets March Release Date

It Takes Two - the new game from Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons and A Way Out creator Josef Fares - will be released on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC on March 26, 2021. Announced at The Game Awards, the co-op only platformer will follow A Way Out's lead by offering a Friend's Pass system – only one player needs to own the game, and can invite a friend to play online for free. Friend's Passes will work within console families, but seemingly won't be cross-platform. The game can also be played in local co-op mode. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/12/11/it-takes-two-gameplay-reveal-trailer"] A gameplay trailer showed off the new Hazelight game, which will be published as an EA Original. While clearly taking cues from the narrative-led, splitscreen action of A Way Out, It Takes Two is a far more bizarre proposition, with married couple Cody and May turned into dolls, and told to fix their relationship to break the spell. Oh, and there's a talking book of love called Dr. Hakim. The gameplay shows off a variety of worlds, including fantasy, underwater, ice, cosmic, clockwork and even what seems to be the real world at miniature size. Within them, we see a huge variety of activities, from controlling retro video games, to controlling a pirate ship, bobsledding and what seem to be classic 3D platformer boss battles. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=it-takes-two-game-awards-trailer-screenshots&captions=true"] It Takes Two was announced at EA Play Live earlier this year, with Fares saying that it would "blow your f**king mind away". We awarded his last game, A Way Out, an 8.3 review, saying that "If you go into A Way Out thinking its mandatory two-player co-op is a gimmick, you’ll likely come out of it realizing that it couldn’t have been done any other way."
