A new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter is on the way, but there’s a chance we already know who it is. Thanks to some mysterious dates Capcom announced earlier this month, fans think Dante from Devil May Cry is coming to the Smash Bros. Nintendo announced that there will be a special Super Smash Bros. Ultimate video presentation hosted by director Masahiro Sakurai on January 16, 6 am PT/9 am ET. The 35-minute livestream will feature an “in-depth look at an upcoming DLC fighter.” Naturally, this means speculation has already begun on who the next Smash Bros. fighter might be. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=even-more-characters-we-want-in-super-smash-bros-ultimate-pt-1&captions=true"] Coincidentally, Capcom producer Matt Walker posted a Tweet earlier this month announcing an update for Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition for Nintendo Switch. In a short online video, Walker told fans to keep an eye out on some upcoming dates for special Devil May Cry news. One of those dates is January 16, the same day as the Nintendo Super Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter reveal livestream.

While the dates could be a coincidence, this was enough for Smash Bros. fans to believe that Dante has a pretty good chance at becoming the next DLC fighter. If true, Dante would join other Capcom characters like Mega Man on the main fighting roster. But Smash Bros. DLC speculation is rampant, and it can still be anyone. We’ll find out on January 16 who the next DLC fighter is, but Dante would make a good fit for the roster. For more, check out our Devil May Cry 5 review and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate review to see how the two properties might mix. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN. You can reach him on Twitter.

Bethesda and id Software have released a new trailer for Doom Eternal. The new footage gives the first real glimpse at the story, but this being Doom the main attractions are all the new demons and the gruesome ways you can kill them. Doom Eternal is a sequel to 2016’s Doom reboot and it brings hell to Earth. Id Software looks to be going bigger and badder with Doom Eternal, showing off towering new monsters that dwarf the Doomslayer. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/14/doom-eternal-gameplay-trailer-2"] Some of the new features in Doom Eternal include new weapons, a grappling ability for both traversal and enemies, as well as, of course, new glory kills to rip and tear the bad guys. Doom Eternal was originally slated to be released in 2019 but was delayed to 2020. IGN was able to get hands-on with Doom Eternal on Stadia, and while the jury is still out on Google’s streaming service, Doom Eternal looks to deliver the mayhem.

Update:  Billie Eilish will be performing the theme song to No Time to Die, the 25th film in the James Bond franchise. "The No Time to Die title song will be performed by Billie Eilish. Billie has written the song with her brother Finneas and is the youngest artist in history to write and record a James Bond theme song," a tweet from the official 007 account revealed on Tuesday. Eilish commented on the announcement, saying, "It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honour. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I'm still in shock." [poilib element="accentDivider"] Original story: Billie Eilish has shared a montage of photos of iconic Bond girls on social media, further fuelling fan speculation that she might be the artist behind the No Time to Die theme song. The pop star posted a snapshot of Bond girls past and present to her Instagram story on Tuesday, starting with Léa Seydoux, who is reprising her Spectre role as psychologist Madeleine Swann in the 25th James Bond film. The initial post was followed by images of leading ladies from Casino Royale, Skyfall, Quantum of Solace, Die Another Day, Thunderball and From Russia With Love. [caption id="attachment_2286768" align="alignnone" width="700"] (Image credit: Instagram/billieeilish)[/caption] While no official confirmation has been given at this time, evidence that Eilish is singing the No Time to Die title track has been mounting over the past few days, as fans recently noticed that the singer and her brother/musical collaborator Finneas are both followed on Instagram by Cary Fukunaga, the director of the upcoming film, who only follows 81 people on the platform. If the rumours turn out to be true, Eilish would become the youngest artist to ever record a James Bond theme song at just 18 years of age, following in the footsteps of Sam Smith who was 23 years old when he recorded his Bond ballad, Writing's On The Wall, for Spectre in 2015. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/04/every-daniel-craig-bond-trailer"] In other music news, 007 producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli recently confirmed that Hans Zimmer will be stepping in to score James Bond's latest adventure just three months ahead of the British spy franchise's 25th theatrical release. For more on No Time to Die, due out April 2020, read the fan theories that support the idea of a rebooted version of Dr. No, find out more about Rami Malek's supervillain, Safin, and check out the official poster for the next 007 movie.

The Taiwanese ratings board may have outed a Switch release for BioShocks 1, 2, Infinite, and the collection comprising all three. Reported by Lootpots, BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, BioShock Infinite: The Complete Edition and BioShock: The Collection have all been rated for Switch. That implies that each game in the series may be sold separately, as well as in a full series pack. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2016/09/14/bioshock-the-collection-review"] While not an official confirmation, ratings like these often pop up when a publisher is about to announce a new game release. We've contacted 2K Games for a statement. When it first arrived in 2017, we gave BioShock: The Collection an 8.2 review, saying it was "a great introduction for newcomers, but returning vets will find little new here."

A Skies of Arcadia developer has asked fans to start a movement that aims to convince Sega to make a sequel to the game.

Kenji Hiruta, one of the programmers on the Dreamcast RPG classic, is pushing fans to join him in urging Sega to greenlight a sequel to the RPG.

-Ms.Itsuki Hoshi is the illustrator of Skies of Arcadia. (and is sooo elegant!) -She agreed to give this autograph to an oversea fan. -I'll pay the fee to send it. -I believe that if this kind of movement expands a lot, SEGA may consider to develop the sequel.

— 蛭田健司 Kenji Hiruta (@k_h00) January 13, 2020

Hiruta took to Twitter on January 13, 2020 to give away an illustration based on the game created by Skies of Arcadia illustrator Itsuki Hoshi. In the same tweet, he also said that “if this kind of movement expands a lot, SEGA may consider to develop the sequel.”

Later on that same day, Hiruta responded to a tweet by a fan pointing out that he was pushing for people to ask for Skies of Arcadia to return. “Strongly,” he tweeted, “I really really want to develop the sequel.”

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/09/12/7-underrated-gamecube-games-we-want-on-switch-up-at-noon"]

The possibility of this happening doesn’t seem completely out of the question given that fans helped Shenmue III happen - another series once owned by Sega.

However, Skies of Arcadia producer Rieko Kadama doesn’t think the game needs a sequel. She spoke to Kotaku on the topic last year while also dismissing the chance of the game being ported to PC or Nintendo Switch.

“I personally feel that [the GameCube’s] Skies of Arcadia Legends completed the “director’s cut” of the title,” Kadama said.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=best-rpg-nominees&captions=true"]

The GameCube version, titled Skies of Arcadia Legends, came out in 2002. In our Skies of Arcadia Legends review we called it the “best GameCube RPG yet.”

Crystal Dynamics has announced that Marvel’s Avengers has been delayed.

The developer made the announcement today that the game’s release date has been pushed back to September 4, 2020.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/30/marvels-avengers-game-overview-trailer"]

“When we set out to bring you our vision for Marvel’s Avengers, we committed to delivering an original story-driven campaign, engaging co-op, and compelling content for years to come,” reads the announcement.

“To that end, we will spend this additional development time focusing on fine tuning and polishing the game to the high standards our fans expect and deserve.”

It seems the reason for this delay is nothing more than to ensure that Marvel’s Avengers is the best game it can be when it’s released. It was previously slated to come out on May 15, 2020 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=marvels-avengers-a-day-gameplay-trailer-screenshots&captions=true"]

“We apologize for the delay. We’re confident it will be worth the wait,” reads the end of the announcement.

Fans still looking to get a taste of Crystal Dynamics’ take on the Avengers can still, presumably, look forward to the prequel novel due to come out in March 2020.
