A Brazilian version of the new Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer appears to accidentally include an edited shot that could hint at unrevealed elements of the upcoming movie.

This story includes what could be spoilers for Spider-Man: No Way Home – if you want to know nothing about the movie going in, turn back now.

As you'd expect, the new No Way Home trailer was released in multiple territories yesterday, with slight edits made across the world. That included a version posted from the official Sony Pictures Brazil account – but fans noticed that one specific shot runs a little longer than in the English language version, and potentially shows that a character has been edited out of the scene for the trailer.

The shot in question is of Spider-Man leaping towards Lizard, Sandman, and Electro in a construction yard. However, as pointed out by Binge Watch This (below), the Brazilian trailer runs for around a second longer, and shows Lizard being seemingly struck in the head by... something invisible.

As you might expect, fans immediately suspected that one or both of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's takes on Spider-Man have been edited out of the shot for the trailer and that, in the final movie, one of them will strike the blow on Lizard in this scene. There is of course the possibility that an edited character could be someone we already know is in the movie – Doctor Strange, for example – but many see this as too much of a coincidence to be anything other than the much-speculated return of Maguire and Garfield.

Rumours have been flying for months about the return of the two previous Peter Parkers in the new movie (aided by the addition of the MCU multiverse). But while we now know that multiple villains from the older Spider-Man movies will be returning, including Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, the Spider-Man actors themselves have repeatedly denied that we'll be seeing a live-action Spidey team-up.

This new shot may well suggest otherwise – and it would be far from the first time Marvel movies have withheld or obfuscated plot details in trailers. The Avengers: Endgame trailer notoriously included multiple changed and unused shots, for example. We've also seen multiple previous occasions in which actors have lied about their involvement in Marvel projects ahead of release.

We don't have too long to wait until we find out what's going on, with release set for December 17 in the US. For those looking to secure tickets to Spider-Man: No Way Home, it was also revealed that they will go on sale on Monday, November 29.

For more, check out Holland's comments on why No Way Home is treated as the "end of a franchise" and why the film is "Brutal", "dark," and "sad."

Amid yesterday's explosive allegations that CEO Bobby Kotick was aware "for years" of abuse at Activision Blizzard, additional reports emerged that former Blizzard co-lead Jennifer Oneal wanted to resign in part due to issues that included being paid less than her male counterpart, Mike Ybarra. Ybarra has now told Blizzard employees he and Oneal asked for pay parity together, but Oneal says she was offered an equal contract only after resigning from the role.

Yesterday, Ybarra responded to allegations in internal messages separately confirmed by multiple Blizzard employees. The messages, screenshots of which were viewed by IGN, were posted in a public Slack channel and directed to Blizzard employees.

"Hello Blizzard, please see the email I sent this morning. I know many leaders plan to meet with their teams throughout the day. This is a difficult time for all of us, myself included. I have been asked and want to make it clear: Jen and I shared with management that we wanted to be paid the same to co-lead Blizzard together," Ybarra wrote.

"As a leader, equality in its broadest sense is something I 100% stand behind. As a team, I share our desire for change and growth. I'm committed to fostering that with all of you to make Blizzard what we all want it to be. I will be sending out a video shortly to all of Blizzard. Thank you and know that I am processing today's news — and struggling in areas like many of you."

When another employee expressed confusion as to why leadership would reject the request from Blizzard’s two co-leads, Ybarra added additional context to his comments. "Jen and I were both on existing contracts. I ran [Battle.net & Online Products] and she ran [Vicarious Visions] so our pay was different. The first time both Jen and I were offered a new contract, it was the same across both of us for the new co-leader of Blizzard roles, so our compensation was going to be the same."

Ybarra’s response appears to be an attempt to explain part of the Wall Street Journal's earlier report, in which Oneal was said to have sent a letter to Activision Blizzard's legal division a month after taking on the role, alleging that she was paid less than Ybarra while being "tokenized, marginalized, and discriminated against." Oneal tendered her resignation earlier this month, shocking many employees who regarded her as a positive force within the company.

However, Oneal seemingly sought to clarify the situation further, adding details that Ybarra had not mentioned. In additional conversations viewed by IGN, Oneal responded forcefully to Ybarra’s comments, saying she didn’t want to be involved “in a debate” on Slack, and that she hadn’t received an equivalent offer until after she had tendered her resignation.

“When Mike and I were placed in the same co-lead role, we went into the role with our previous compensation, which was not equivalent. It remained that way for some time well after we made multiple rejected requests to change it to parity,” she wrote. It remains unclear as to why Activision Blizzard rejected those requests.

She continued, “While the company informed me before I tendered my resignation that they were working on a new proposal, we were made equivalent offers only after I tendered that resignation.” (Emphasis Oneal’s)

Oneal will remain an employee at Activision Blizzard until the end of the year, and says that she will continue to try and better the company “in good faith.” However, she said she did not want there to be any “misunderstanding about when I was offered equivalent compensation.”

IGN has reached out to Blizzard for comment and will update this article accordingly.

The scandal surrounding Activision Blizzard's culture of harassment and discrimination was previously reignited by a bombshell report by the Wall Street Journal that revealed that Kotick was aware of major allegations but failed to report them to the board. The report sparked a walkout by Activision Blizzard employees, even as Activision Blizzard's board stood by Kotick.

Activision Blizzard employees that IGN spoke with described feelings of dismay over what they felt was the most damning report yet.

Activision Blizzard recently reached a tentative settlement with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that still needs to be approved in federal court, but continues to be engaged in multiple court battles surrounding the harassment allegations. You can read our full timeline here.

Correction: This article was updated to clarify that Activision Blizzard's settlement with the EEOC still needs to be approved in federal court.

Deep Silver and Volition have today confirmed that Saints Row has officially been delayed. Volition’s Saints Row reboot is now due to arrive on August 23, 2022, seven months later than its initially-planned arrival date of February 25, 2022.

Volition chief creative officer Jim Boone announced the delay via the Saints Row Twitter account. In an extended post on the Saints Row website Boone conceded the team misjudged the impact the COVID-19 pandemic would ultimately have on Saints Row’s development.

“Our priority is to create the best Saints Row game yet and, if we released on the original date, it wouldn’t be up to the standards we’ve set ourselves, and that you’re expecting and deserve,” wrote Boone. “The team just need more time to do our vision justice; we’re doing some fine tuning and there won’t be much change in the game outside of overall quality and polish.

“In all honesty, we underestimated the impact COVID would have on our schedule, although everyone adapted very quickly to the working from home arrangement and continued to be incredibly productive.

“Rest assured, there will not be any changes to the story or the characters or anything that we’ve lovingly imagined over the last few years and already shared with you.

“Over the past two years, all corners of the entertainment industry have been affected/impacted in one way or another. As gamers ourselves, we know what it feels like to have something delayed which you’ve been looking forward to; it’s frustrating and you feel disappointed. But we also know that when we finally get Saints Row in your hands, it will have been worth the wait. It’s our absolute priority to get this right.”

Volition’s Saints Row reboot was first revealed during the Opening Night Live showcase at Gamescom 2021. Set in a new city inspired by the American southwest, Saints Row will be the first new game in the series since 2013's Saints Row 4.

Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, have surged in prominence online. There's a whole community of NFT enthusiasts out on the internet, but some are cautious about the new technology. Xbox's Phil Spencer feels that they are currently more exploitative than creative.

In an interview with Axios, Spencer says that he is cautious about how NFTs are currently being considered in gaming. "What I'd say today on NFT, all up, is I think there's a lot of speculation and experimentation that's happening, and that some of the creative that I see today feels more exploitive than about entertainment," explained Spencer.

Spencer went on to clarify that he doesn't think every single NFT game is exploitative, but that the space is still new and people are on a journey trying to figure it out. He also understands the early controversy surrounding NFTs in gaming isn't necessarily an aspect you want to have in the Xbox Store.

“I think anything that we looked at in our storefront that we said is exploitive would be something that we would, you know, take action on,” Spencer added. “We don't want that kind of content.”

NFTs have taken the world by storm, and have already crept their way into the gaming ecosystem. Last month, Steam put forth a policy that banned any games utilizing blockchain technology that allows for NFTs and cryptocurrencies, while Epic Games embraced them, given that they follow relevant laws.

Big publishers such as EA and Ubisoft have decided to welcome NFTs as well. EA believes that NFT technology will play an important part in the future of gaming, while Ubisoft plans to create blockchain games.

With Daniel Craig relinquishing the role of James Bond after a 15 year run as the British superspy, many other stars are throwing in their hat for the role. The latest is Dwayne Johnson, who brings some unique credentials to the table.

Speaking with Esquire, Johnson discussed his unique connection to the Bond universe. As it turns out, Johnson's grandfather, Peter Maiva, was a Bond villain in You Only Live Twice, where he played a henchman who tries to kill Bond with a mix of wrestling moves and a katana (it doesn't work, obviously).

"Yes, my grandfather was a Bond villain in You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery," Johnson said. "[It] was very, very cool. And I would like to follow in his footsteps and be the next Bond."

It would be a bit of stretch given that Johnson isn't British, and British fans are very protective of the iconic spy, but he certainly has the action chops for the role. One thing is certain: Johnson doesn't want to be a villain.

"I don't want to be a villain. Got to be Bond," Johnson says.

In the meantime, Tom Hardy is reportedly the betting favorite to be the next Bond, with Henry Cavill and Idris Elba also touted for the role. Even Edgar Wright says he has some ideas on where Bond can go next.

As for Johnson, his next big role is Black Adam, where he will play the titular antihero. It's scheduled to release July 29, 2022.

A new report claims that Activision CEO Bobby Kotick knew about alleged sexual assault and harassment allegations within company-owned studios, but did not disclose the information to the company's board. The same report states that Jen Oneal – who was recently made co-head of the company before announcing her departure just three months later – has previously experienced harassment at the company, was paid less than her male counterpart Mike Ybarra, and had said she was "tokenized" by the company.

A new Wall Street Journal report continues the long-running scandal within Activision Blizzard, which came to light when the state of California filed a lawsuit against the company. The report centres on Kotick, and says that internal documents and sources familiar with the company show that the CEO was aware of many of the reported abuses within the company – including accusations of rape that were emailed directly to Kotick – but did not inform the board of everything he knew.

An Activision spokesperson told the WSJ that "Mr. Kotick would not have been informed of every report of misconduct at every Activision Blizzard company, nor would he reasonably be expected to have been updated on all personnel issues.”

Kotick himself told the WSJ that 'he and the board now expect to be kept better informed than in the past about workplace issues,' and that examples raised in its reporting are exceptions to the company's normal behaviour.

The report also includes a number of new accusations against current and former employees. Dan Bunting, co-head of Treyarch, is alleged to have sexually harassed a female employee in 2017 but, despite HR recommendations that he be fired, was kept on after counseling because of his contribution to the Call of Duty series. Bunting has reportedly left Treyarch after the WSJ asked to discuss the alleged incident.

A Sledgehammer Games supervisor, Javier Panameno was reportedly accused of rape by a female employee, as well as harassment of a second woman. Panameno was ultimately fired. Another Sledgehammer employee, Eduard Roerich, was also accused of sexual harassment. Roerich was given two weeks of paid leave and moved position within Activision, before being let go from the company after a separate incident in which he argued with a manager.

The report also includes a section on the departure of Jen Oneal, who was appointed co-head of Activision Blizzard in August – the company's first female leader – but resigned after three just months. Oneal reportedly emailed Activision leadership after a month in the role, saying that “it was clear that the company would never prioritize our people the right way.” The report says she was paid less than her male co-leader, Mike Ybarra and had told leadership that she had been "tokenized, marginalized, and discriminated against." Oneal also alleges that she was sexually harassed at Activision prior to her time as co-head of the company.

After July's lawsuit, Activision Blizzard has seen multiple high profile departures, walkouts, scandal-related game changes, SEC subpoenas, and the cancellation of BlizzCon 2022. You can read our timeline of events to see the entire story in one place.

Prime Video has released a new trailer and poster for Season 6 of The Expanse, which will debut its first episode on Friday, December 10, 2021.

The action-packed new trailer for the sixth and final season of The Expanse sees Holden and the crew of the Rocinante fight alongside the Combined Fleet of Earth and Mars to protect the Inner Planets from the devastating asteroid attacks launched by Marco Inaros and his Free Navy in their campaign of death and destruction. Check it out below:

Brace yourselves for a hard burn. #TheExpanse final season is almost here! pic.twitter.com/P6yS4mCN9H

— The Expanse (@ExpanseOnPrime) November 16, 2021

The poster for the new season circles several series regulars, with Steven Strait, Dominique Tipper, Wes Chatham, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Cara Gee, Frankie Adams, Keon Alexander, Nadine Nicole, and Jasai Chase Owens all returning for the new episodes, which will air weekly on Prime Video, culminating with the show's series finale on January 14, 2022.

The fan-favorite sci-fi series is developed by Iron Man's Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby from a series of novels by James S. A. Corey. Showrunner Naren Shankar is an executive producer on the series alongside Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Laura Lancaster, Sharon Hall, Sean Daniel, Jason Brown, Daniel Abraham, Ty Franck, and Dan Nowak.

There are currently eight published novels in the original book series, with Leviathan Falls, the ninth and final book of the main series, set to hit shelves on November 30. The TV adaptation has reached Book 6 of The Expanse saga, meaning there are three more books yet to make it to the small screen, but Alcon's deal with Amazon is over after the sixth season.

Forget the Dragon Ball fantasies of being Goku and blasting Cell out of the sky. Bandai Namco just announced Dragon Ball: The Breakers, an upcoming asymmetrical online multiplayer game where you can either be Cell, or be one of seven people trying to run the heck away from his particular brand of chaos.

You can check out an announcement trailer below:

Dragon Ball: The Breakers puts you in the oversized boots of either a Raider -- Cell, Buu, or Frieza -- or one of seven "survivors" who must cooperate to try and escape the temporal anomaly they're stuck in before the raider blasts them into oblivion.

Aside from just running around and hiding, survivors can work on customizable skill trees, use items like weapons and grappling hooks, and hop in vehicles to eventually escape via a Super Time machine. The trailer shows off a number of examples of gameplay, including rocket launchers and other gun-like weapons, and Oolong shapeshifting into a potted plant to hide from Cell.

The Breakers is a part of the Dragon Ball Xenoverse universe, and will include some sort of tie-in to save data from Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 for those who have it.

It's currently planned for release on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC in 2022, and will of course also be playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. A closed beta test is planned for PC, with more details coming at a later date.

Dragon Ball: The Breakers doesn't look quite like anything we've seen before from the Dragon Ball universe, as a co-op survival game rather than the numerous fighting games. But we liked Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2's authenticity and depth when we reviewed it back in 2016, so hopefully The Breakers is able to tap into the best of those elements as well.
