With Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda finalized at last, 20 Bethesda games are dropping on Game Pass starting tomorrow -- including some of the publisher's most popular franchises. During a roundtable about the acquisition today, Xbox announced the 20 games coming to Game Pass, which include the following:

• Dishonored
• Dishonored 2
• Doom
• Doom 2
• Doom 64
• Doom 3
• Doom Eternal
• Fallout New Vegas
• Fallout 4
• Fallout 76
• Prey
• Rage 2
• The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind
• The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion
• The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim
• The Elder Scrolls Online
• The Evil Within
• Wolfenstein: The New Order
• Wolfenstein The Old Blood
• Wolfenstein: Youngblood

Of these, all but Morrowind, Oblivion, TES Online, and Fallout: New Vegas will be available through Cloud play for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members. In a follow-up blog post on Xbox Wire, Xbox also said that "a handful" of these would eventually benefit from FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S, saying it would have more to share on this soon. Xbox head Phil Spencer also gave a firm, specific statement on the future of existing Bethesda games and franchises on other platforms -- something that has been a concern for many who play Bethesda titles on PlayStation or elsewhere and which he has addressed with similar, if not quite as specific, statements in the past. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/23/will-bethesda-games-be-xbox-exclusives-now"] "Obviously I can't sit here and say every Bethesda game is exclusive," Spencer said. "Because we know that's not true. There's contractual obligations that we're going to see through, as we always do in every one of these instances. We have games that exist on other platforms, and we're going to go support those games on the platforms they're on. There's communities of players, we love those communities and we'll continue to invest in them. And even in the future, there may be things that have contractual things or legacy on different platforms that we'll go do. "But, if you're an Xbox customer the thing I want you to know is that this is about delivering great exclusive games for you that ship on platforms where Game Pass exists. That's our goal, that's why we're doing this, that's the root of this partnership that we're building and the creative capability we'll be able to bring to market for Xbox customers is going to be the best it's ever been for Xbox after we're done here."

The Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut add-on has been delayed to April 8, Gearbox Software announced Thursday.

Gearbox cited the recent cold snap in Texas, where the studio is located, which resulted in widespread power outages and property damage, and at least 70 deaths according to a February post from Associated Press.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/01/borderlands-movie-casts-its-tiny-tina"]

“Thankfully, all of our team members and their families are safe and healthy,” Gearbox stated. “But our work on Director’s Cut was unavoidably disrupted and we’ve ultimately decided to shift the release date to ensure we deliver the best possible experience. We appreciate your understanding, and we’re excited for you to play Director’s Cut when it releases next month.”

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/30/borderlands-3-designers-cut-new-skill-trees-official-trailer"]

Borderlands 3: Director’s Cut promises to add a new raid boss, new items, and more as the second half of the new season of content.

If you think this is the end of the road for Borderlands, think again. Gearbox head Randy Pitchford has said that other studios owned by Embracer Group, who recently acquired Gearbox for $1.3 billion, could make their own Borderlands universe games in the future. Don’t forget that Tales From the Borderlands, Telltale Games’ story-driven cult hit, is back on sale for the first time since 2019. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Editor's Note: This article previously stated that the Director's Cut would add new skill trees, however they are not a part of this DLC and new skill trees were in fact a part of the Designer's Cut content.

After three endearing seasons, Disney's DuckTales reboot is coming to an end, with an epic 90-minute series finale, titled "The Last Adventure!," on Monday, March 15 on Disney XD and DisneyNOW. Here's how Disney describes the final episode: "The future of adventuring hangs in the balance as the Duck family uncovers earth-shattering secrets in a final standoff with the Fiendish Organization for World Larceny (F.O.W.L.)." IGN can exclusively reveal a clip from the finale featuring Webby Vanderquack, which you can watch in the video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/11/ducktales-exclusive-official-series-finale-clip-2021-david-tennant-kate-micucci"] IGN spoke to series creators Frank Angones and Matt Youngberg about what they hoped to accomplish with their 90-minute finale and if they faced any challenges along the way. "For us, it was paying off everything that we had set up and not just the storyline of Webby, and not just the storyline of F.O.W.L., but everything thematically that we've been setting up throughout the series," Youngberg told IGN. Angones went on to say that the difficult part about crafting a satisfying finale is knowing that inevitably, you can't please everybody. "But I think the majority of people who love our series and have been watching from the beginning are going to feel satisfied," Angones explained. "And it's just like we've been doing throughout the whole series, is if we're making something that is satisfying to us as fans, then other people will be satisfied as well." Though this iteration of DuckTales is coming to an end, we wanted to know if Angones and Youngberg believe that there are more stories to tell in the DuckTales universe? "Yes. Always. There were more stories to tell before we did DuckTales, there will be more stories to tell after we do DuckTales," Angones said. "A lot of these characters were around before we got here, and they'll be around, hopefully, after we kill them all off in the finale, and someone figures out how to resuscitate them, spoilers, spoilers, spoilers (jokingly)." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/15/ducktales-exclusive-darkwing-duck-clip"] While there is currently no talk of any more DuckTales episodes currently in the works, Youngberg hopes that in a few decades, another creative team will come along and breathe new life into the franchise. "My hope is that it's 30 years from now because that means that our legacy is so strong that people are afraid to touch it," he said, laughing. "I think just that people will be afraid to touch it until 30 years from now because of the imprint that we made on it. I think the stories can always be told with these characters. That's always the goal, is to have them have a voice in whatever medium that they find themselves." Be sure to check out the giant-sized 90-minute series finale when it airs on Monday, March 15 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Disney XD and DisneyNOW. And for more on Disney, be sure to check out everything coming to Disney+ in March, our full series review of WandaVision, and an audio clip from "This Duckburg Life," a new podcast inspired by the series.

Square Enix has announced a Nintendo Direct-style digital showcase, Square Enix Presents, which is set to reveal new games, like a new Life Is Strange, and give updates on existing ones like Marvel's Avengers and the upcoming Outriders. Square Enix Presents will be the first in a new series of digital showcases for Square, with the inaugural installment airing on March 18 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET on Square Enix's Twitch and YouTube. The full lineup includes: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/03/10/outriders-no-turning-back-trailer"]

• A reveal of the next Life Is Strange series game

• Outriders

• Balan Wonderworld

• "The ongoing celebration for the 25th anniversary of Tomb Raider"

• Marvel’s Avengers

• Just Cause Mobile

• "New mobile game announcements from the award-winning Square Enix Montréal studio"

• "A look at a few of the whimsical games from Square Enix sister company Taito"

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-marvel-superhero-game-review&captions=true"] Not much is known about the new Life Is Strange, but the Square Enix presentation will air on the same day Marvel's Avengers' new Hawkeye content, as well as the PS5 and Xbox Series versions, launch. Since the announcement of that new content, though, Avengers also announced a change to its XP Progression that has left some fans concerned about what it means for the game's grind. The presentation hits just a couple of weeks before Outriders' launch, which has recently seen a well-received demo. Just Cause Mobile was revealed in a Game Awards announcement last December, while Balan Wonderworld had a demo released earlier this year and is set to launch on March 26.
