Dune cast member Oscar Isaac has revealed that the sci-fi epic is going back in front of cameras just a few months before it's scheduled to be released. Isaac informed Deadline that Dune will undergo additional filming in Hungary, one of the production's original shooting locations. “We’re going to do some additional shooting in mid August," Isaac revealed. "They’re saying in Budapest in Hungary.” Deadline claims the additional shooting will not affect the film's December 18th release date. It should be noted that reshoots and additional shooting are commonplace in major Hollywood productions and are generally planned into a production's schedule.

Denis is a real artist and it will be exciting to see it come together," Isaac said. "It’s kind of wild that we’re doing some additional shooting a few months before it’s supposed to come out, but that happened with Star Wars as well.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=dune-how-the-movies-have-depicted-the-iconic-stillsuit-costume&captions=true"] Deadline adds that "Dune will shoot with extensive coronavirus safety measures in place."

As promised, EA shared the first extended look at the gameplay for the upcoming Star Wars: Squadrons by revealing several different ships, customization options, and multiplayer modes during today's EA Play Live event. It was also confirmed that Squadrons will be available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One with cross-play on October 2. Star Wars: Squadrons, developed by EA's Motive studio, is a spiritual successor to the Rogue Squadron dogfight games. Players will assume the role of either a New Republic pilot and Imperial fighter pilot as part of the Vanguard and Titan Squadrons, respectively. While there is a single-player campaign, Motive's six-minute video primarily focused on the multiplayer portions. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/star-wars-squadrons-gameplay-reveal-and-overview-trailer-ea-play-2020"] Star Wars: Squadrons appears to lean towards the sim-side of things. Players will view the action through their cockpits, which doubles as the actual UI and there will be complicated, high-level maneuvers. Squadrons will feature several different multiplayer modes including a 5v5 Dogfight mode and a longer Fleet Battles mode. Fleet Battles are multi-stage solo or co-op battles against either AI or real players. Fleet Battles are broken down into three phases. First, players will engage in a dogfight in the middle of the map. Then, one of the teams will attack the enemy's medium-sized capital ships while the opposition defends. Finally, when both capital ships are destroyed, players will have to destroy the enemy's flagships. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=star-wars-squadrons-ea-play-screenshots&captions=true"] There will be a total of 8 different ships that were showcased during its gameplay reveal. The roles include the all-rounder fighter, speedy interceptors, support ships, and bombers. Players will be able to customize both their ships and pilots and Motive reiterated that all the customizations and 50 different ship upgrades can be earned in-game without microtransactions. Star Wars: Squadrons will be available on October 2 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. EA told IGN that Squadrons will also be available on next-gen systems at an unannounced date.

EA revealed the first footage of Lost in Random, a new action-adventure game developed by Zoink, the studio behind atmospheric adventure games like Fe and Ghost Giant, as part of the EA Originals label. Lost in Random is about a girl living in a kingdom ruled by a dice that determines their destiny. But she soon discovers that there's another dice aptly named "Dicey" that she teams up with to explore the world and help her in combat. The art style has a certain Tim Burton aesthetic, and the animation style makes Lost in Random look more like a stop-motion film more than anything. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/18/lost-in-random-announcement-trailer-ea-play-2020"] Zoink says Lost in Random is a coming of age story set in a mysterious world. This kingdom is governed by rules and minimizing risk, but with Dicey's help, the hero will learn to accept randomness and the flow of life. Check out the trailer above. Lost in Random will be out in 2021. For more, check out IGN's full coverage of EA Play Live. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Matt Kim is a reporter for IGN.
