Destiny 2: Nathan Fillion Replaced by Nolan North in Final Cayde-6 Appearance
Nolan North has taken over the role of everyone's favourite Exo for Destiny 2's third expansion, The Forsaken.
Nathan Fillion has not reprised the role of Hunter Vanguard, Cayde-6, in the upcoming Destiny 2 expansion, The Forsaken, saying he was "unavailable" to provide the voice of the doomed Exo. Nolan North has stepped in to fill the role, making this the second time he has taken over for an actor in the series.
Back in 2015, North took over the role of Ghost in Destiny, re-recording Peter Dinklage's lines. The Game of Thrones actor's performance had received its share of criticism, but Bungie explained that the reason for the switch was due to Dinklage's availability.

Rugrats Gets TV Revival and New Feature Film from Nickelodeon
Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures have announced that they will be bringing back the '90s children's television series Rugrats with a 26-episode order and a live-action film featuring CGI characters.
Both the TV series and movie will continue the adventures of characters such as Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Susie, and Angelica. These new stories will also "introduce a new world of characters."
“Rugrats is hands-down one of the most celebrated cartoons in TV history, and we are thrilled for a whole new audience to meet these iconic characters in brand-new adventures,” said Sarah Levy, COO, Viacom Media Networks; and Interim President, Nickelodeon. “What was true in 1991 when the original show premiered is still true today: kids are fascinated with the world of babies. We can’t wait for today’s kids to meet Tommy, Chuckie and pals.”
How Cyberpunk 2077 Benefits From Its Tabletop Origins
“Steal from the best, but admit you did it.”
As a veteran designer for both tabletop and digital games, this is the advice that Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith offered new game designers during a recent interview with IGN. He expounded, saying that “You’re not going to invent it all yourself - you’re going to learn from other people.” While this is certainly excellent advice for newcomers to the world of game development (or just running their own tabletop RPG session), the idea also bolsters my faith in CD Projekt Red’s upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, and reminds me of how important it is that Cyberpunk 2020 (along with several other versions of the tabletop RPG) came before it.

Microsoft Is Reportedly Unwilling to Delay Crackdown 3 Any Further
Crackdown 3 is infamous for its repeated delays, but its most recent one may be the last. A new report from Eurogamer claims anonymous sources have reported this is "the final time" Microsoft is willing to delay it.
Announced during E3 2014, Crackdown 3's first release window was 2016, but it was pushed back to November 2017 for a planned launch alongside the Xbox One X. But following lukewarm receptions at E3 and Gamescom 2017, Crackdown 3 was again delayed to 2018. But that wasn't to be either. Last month, Microsoft officially pushed the game back to February 22, 2019.
