No Time to Die Releasing Earlier in the U.S.
File this under "wait and see" since we're still a few months out and movie release dates are constantly being swapped around -- from Wonder Woman 1984 being bumped for a fourth time to a re-release of Inception taking Tenet's July 17th spot -- but No Time to Die, Daniel Craig's final film as James Bond, will now open a few days sooner in the U.S.
Originally pushed from this past April to November due to the COVID-19 crisis, No Time to Die was to release in theaters on November 12, 2020 in the U.K. and on November 25, 2020 in the U.S. The U.K. date still stands, but now No Time to Die is slated to hit theaters in America on November 20. Check it out...
This slight switch comes on the heels of Warner Bros./Legendary’s Godzilla vs. Kong, directed by Adam Wingard, leaving its November 20 spot, after having been pushed there from its first release date of March 13. MGM Studios was reported to have taken a hit in the $30 million to $50 million range due to the seven-month No Time to Die delay. On Saturday Night Live's last episode with a live audience, Daniel Craig hosted and spoofed James Bond in this No Time to Die casino sketch.

Persona 4 Golden, an updated version of 2008's Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4, is now available on PC.

[ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/13/persona-4-golden-steam-trailer-pc-gaming-show"]
Persona 4 was originally released on the PlayStation 2, and it found a new life on PlayStation Vita in 2012. In fact, we ranked it as our favorite Vita game in our list of Top 25 PlayStation Vita Games.
In our review, we said "The PlayStation Vita is lucky to have Persona 4 Golden. While the game doesn’t do much of note besides bringing the 2008 title to the HD era, it doesn’t need to. The story hooks you, dungeon crawling makes for a great time, and exploring your relationships while building a better army is the kind of tinkering you can get lose hours to. Persona 4 Golden is perfectly at home on the handheld and should dominate your free time."
Persona 4 Golden added extra missions, new personas, and a new character. There was also an online component, that allowed you to see what other players were up to, or ask for their help in a tricky dungeon.

But the most effective way to play is the beat matching, and getting into the song, and be killing guys on the beat, and reloading on the beat, and dodging on the beat.

So it's a shooter in lots of ways, and then it's this other thing in other ways."The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk

The full version will contain a complete Act 3, a new, not-yet-announced end game experience, and the ability to play Torchlight 3 in Single Player mode, which will not require an internet connection.
Torchlight 2 was released in 2012 and, in our review, we said "Torchlight II doesn’t do anything radically new, but does everything incredibly well. It fits all the pieces of varied monster behavior, interesting items, excellent skill design and random surprises together into a near-perfect formula, where the action never stops and rewards are never far away."

Chris Evans Credits Marvel’s Kevin Feige for the Success of the MCU
Though the MCU's Phase 4 has been delayed, along with most every other big movie that was supposed to open this past Spring, there's no doubt it will be a smash hit once Black Widow finally hits theaters in November.
While promoting his new Apple TV+ series, Defending Jacob, on THR's Awards Chatter podcast, Steve Rogers himself, Chris Evans, explained why the MCU has been such a dominating force for over a decade. "The buck stops with [now Marvel Chief Creative Officer] Kevin Feige, doesn't it?" he said. "I mean, it must. It'd be one thing if there were a few good Marvel movies and then a few stinkers. It'd be one thing if every other shop in town was making the hits as effortlessly as Marvel was, but it's just not happening that way."
"I guess when you start to collect the data and figure out what's the common denominator, I really think it must be Kevin Feige," Evans added. "He doesn’t let things be bad."

Last February, it was revealed that Feige, who was head of Marvel Studios at the time, almost quit Marvel over lack of diversity while making The Avengers.
If you're looking for a look back into the origins of the MCU, here's Feige first teasing the Marvel Cinematic Universe at a San Diego Comic-Con panel in 2006.
