Available on both Humble Store and Steam, the game will also be coming to Xbox Game Pass for console and PC.

If you want to try before you buy, you'll also be able play a PC demo from tomorrow, November 13, exclusively available from the Humble Store.

We've got some first looks at several upcoming Disney Plus Marvel series as part of Disney+ Day, including Moon Knight starring Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, Ms. Marvel starring Iman Vellani, and She-Hulk starring Tatiana Maslany and Mark Ruffalo.

Disney revealed the first look, a compilation of teaser footage from each series, in its roundup video following the event. Skip to 11:55 to start with Moon Knight.

In the Moon Knight footage, Oscar Isaac can be heard sporting what seems to be a northern English accent while saying "I can’t tell the difference between my waking life and dreams." A different voice, likely Ethan Hawke's, responds “The voice in your head, it devours you.”

Isaac's character, the titular vigilante Moon Knight, suffers from a dissociative personality disorder. Disney's official description of the show reads: "The multiple identities who live inside him find themselves thrust into a deadly war of the gods against the backdrop of modern and ancient Egypt."

Moon Knight can be seen in the trailer repeatedly punching someone (or something) on the floor of a destroyed bathroom, and later jumping across rooftops in the moonlight.

In an interview with Seth Meyers, Hawke said he's playing a villain inspired by cult leader David Koresh, who led the Branch Davidians in the infamous Waco siege.

She-Hulk on the other hand appears to be going for a more comedic route. Tatiana Maslany stars as lawyer-turned-green-superhero Jennifer Walters, who inherits the Hulk's powers after a blood transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner.

Just like the comics, Walters maintains her personality and intelligence when transformed into her superhero persona. The teaser footage briefly shows She-Hulk's purple and white outfit along with her green skin. Ruffalo will appear as his less destructive Hulk persona he adopted in Avengers: Endgame, guiding Walters through adapting to her new powers. The pair also appear in full human form for what looks like a spoof of a retro commercial advertising Walters' legal services.

Last on the first looks is Ms. Marvel, starring newcomer Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, the Muslim, Pakistani-American hero. In the teaser, Kamala says "It’s not really the brown girls from Jersey City who save the world," suggesting the show will grapple with the importance of representation of non-traditional superhero identities. The teaser also shows a shot of Muslims praying in a mosque and Kamala wearing her Captain Marvel cosplay.

That's just the tip of the iceberg. Check out our roundup of every new Disney Plus show revealed during Disney Week to see what else Disney has in store for its streaming service.

Ubisoft has announced that its Executive Director of Far Cry, Dan Hay, will be leaving the studio this week. Hay is reported to have been working on a live-service Far Cry game before his departure.

Ubisoft has announced that Hay will be ending his tenure at the studio this week - having worked there for over a decade. As shared by GamesBeat, a statement from the company confirmed his departure. "After more than 10 years at Ubisoft, Dan Hay has announced that he will be pursuing a new chapter in his professional life and he will be leaving on November 12," reads the statement's opening line.

Ubisoft went on to confirm in its statement that Hay had not yet announced where he would be working next before thanking the Far Cry Exec for his many contributions over the years. The studio then concluded by revealing that the brand team would be led by Ubisoft Montreal Producer Sandra Warren on an interim basis, who will work alongside a highly capable team of producers and directors.

Per VentureBeat, Hay was reportedly working on the studio's next Far Cry game, which is rumoured to take shape as a live-service game similar to the reports surrounding the studio's next Assassin's Creed game. Earlier this year, reports surfaced suggesting that Ubisoft were working on a project codenamed Assassin's Creed Infinity that would take shape as an online platform including multiple historic settings that evolve over time.

Following the reports, Ubisoft formally announced that it was working on Assassin's Creed Infinity. The game is being developed by a "cross studio, collaborative structure" made up of the development teams at Ubisoft Quebec and Montreal. While little is currently known about the project in terms of its gameplay, a statement from the company in July gave some insight into what fans can expect.

"Rather than continuing to pass the baton from game to game," reads the statement, "we profoundly believe this is an opportunity for one of Ubisoft’s most beloved franchises to evolve in a more integrated and collaborative manner that’s less centered on studios and more focused on talent and leadership, no matter where they are within Ubisoft."

For more on the Assassin's Creed series, make sure to check out this piece where we broke down our top ten Assassin's Creed games of all time.

As the PlayStation 5 celebrates the first year since its launch today, Sony has told fans that there are currently more than 25 different exclusive games in development across the publisher's first-party studios.

As part of a celebratory update post on the PlayStation Blog, Sony spoke about the jam-packed year it's experienced since launching its latest flagship console. "A busy year indeed, and we are just getting started with PS5," said Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan in the post.

"The imaginative game creators and publishing partners we work with have launched more than 360 games on PS5. Additionally, there are currently more than 25 games in development for PS5 at PlayStation Studios."

While some of those games won't be available to play for some while yet - we're looking at you Spider-Man 2 - there are still plenty for PlayStation fans to get excited about. Next year alone the publisher will see the launch of a number of exclusive blockbuster titles, including the likes of Guerilla Games' Horizon Forbidden West, Polyphony's Gran Turismo 7, and Santa Monica Studio's God of War Ragnarok. However, that leaves a huge number of exclusives still to be announced.

Sony's lengthy list of exclusive games comes in part due to its activity in the wider development market. Having assembled a number of prestigious developers for its PlayStation Studios family, this year the publisher showed no sign of stopping. Following the purchase of Returnal developer Housemarque in June, Sony then added further studios into the fold through the acquisitions of PC porting specialist Nixxes, UK developer Firesprite, and remake specialist Bluepoint Games.

Elsewhere in its celebratory blog post, Sony spoke about the passion it's seen from its fanbase over the last year. The publisher noted that PlayStation 5 users have collectively amassed over 4.6 billion hours of gameplay on their consoles since its release. While that time has been spent across a large collection of games, Sony also revealed which of those had made it into the PS5's top ten most played.

Top ten most played PS5 Games:

• Fortnite
• Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
• FIFA 21
• NBA 2K21
• Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
• Destiny 2
• MLB The Show 21
• Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
• Demon’s Souls
• NBA 2K22

Ryan also thanks fans for their patience, after a year in which PS5 has remained extremely hard to find due to global production shortages. "We continue to see historic demand for PS5 and we understand the inventory constraints remain a source of frustration for many of our customers," he wrote. "Rest assured that we are laser-focused on doing everything in our power to ship as many units as possible, it’s something we work on every day across the company and remains my top priority. Again, we appreciate your patience as we navigate through these unprecedented global challenges."

Sadly, it's not a problem that looks to be slowing down, with Sony reportedly making huge cuts to its production plans following a global chip shortage that is currently affecting all areas of gaming.

Production for Hulu’s How I Met Your Father spinoff starring Hilary Duff is underway, and the first set photo shows the cast hanging out on the virtual set powered by Industrial Light and Magic. The same tech used to power shows like The Mandalorian.

As revealed on Variety, filming for How I Met Your Father takes place on the Infinity, Industrial Light and Magic’s new virtual production stage on Disney’s Burbank lot.

According to showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, the virtual set was an ideal alternative to flying Duff and the cast to New York to film on location. The Virtual Stage was able to recreate the Brooklyn Bridge without the rest of New York getting in the way.

While virtual stage technology has been used to film fantastical locations, like the ones seen in The Mandalorian, it appears the use of this technology may seep into more and more shows, even ones that aren’t set in outer space. The Batman, for example, is using a similar virtual set.

The Infinity Stage is built on the same stage where Disney filmed the 1940 animated film “Fantasia” and includes 700 LED panels to create a 1,600 square foot LED canvas. It will be used for “hundreds of Walt Disney Company Television Productions” and could be rented to other studios and producers.

How I Met Your Father stars Hilary Duff as Sophie. Similar to the plot of How I Met Your Mother, Duff’s Sophie is telling her son how she met his father. Sophie’s story is also set in New York and she will be surrounded by a cast of friends as they go through her romantic misadventures.

The original How I Met Your Mother ran for nine years and was one of the biggest romantic comedies airing on TV. The Hulu spinoff has been ordered direct to series for a 10-episode season, and Duff recently shared a photo of her and actor Josh Peck from the set.

November 15 marks the 20th anniversary of the launch of the original Xbox, and Microsoft is planning a big celebration that aims to look back at some of the best moments from that original console, the Xbox 360, the Xbox One, and the Xbox Series X/S. While there won't be any new game announcements, there should be plenty for Xbox fans to look forward to.

IGN is carrying the stream and, as usual, this watch guide will provide you with everything you need to know to watch the show, including when it starts, a list of places you can watch it with us, and what you can expect to see.

Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration Start Time

The upcoming Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration will take place on Monday, November 15 at 10am PT/1pm ET/6pm GMT. If you are watching from Australia, that translates to Tuesday, November 16 at 4am AEST.

Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration Stream

If you’re interested in watching the upcoming Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration, we’ll be hosting it here and across our many channels on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, and more. Here’s the full list of places you can watch the show with us:

• IGN.com (homepage)

What to Expect at the Upcoming Xbox 20th Anniversary Celebration

While Microsoft hasn't revealed exactly what will be featured in the show, it has promised that it will "celebrate some of our favorite moments from the past 20 years of Xbox." As previously mentioned, it won't feature any new game announcements, but Microsoft hasn't ruled out the possibility that we may see more of Halo Infinite, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Fable, or any of the other games currently in development at Xbox Games Studios. It's probably wise to keep expectations in check, but never say never!

The show will have subtitles available in a variety of languages, and the official Xbox YouTube channel will also feature American Sign Language (ASL) and Audio Descriptions (AD) for those who need it. Furthermore, Microsoft warned that those planning to co-stream or create breakdowns in the form of VOD coverage should "not use any audio containing copyrighted music to avoid any action by automated bots, and to also abide by the terms of service for your service provider."

One thing that has been teased, however, is the appearance of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his upcoming film Red Notice at the show. As many may remember, The Rock was on-stage with Bill Gates to help reveal the original Xbox back in 2001.

Speaking of Halo, November 15 also marks the 20th anniversary of Master Chief's first adventure - Halo: Combat Evolved - that led a launch lineup that included Dead or Alive 3, Fusion Frenzy, Project Gotham Racing, Arctic Thunder, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysey, and many more. It is possible these will also be celebrated alongside many of the other biggest Xbox exclusives from over the years.

In addition to the Xbox Anniversary Celebration, Microsoft will also be hosting other events and promotions in honor of this milestone, including Xbox FanFest trivia and giveaways, special 20th Anniversary Xbox Gear, updated membership badges, and more. November 15 will also be the release date of the Halo Infinite Limited Edition Xbox Series X, the Halo Infinite Limited Edition Xbox Elite Wireless Series 2 Controller, and the Xbox Wireless Controller - 20th Anniversary Special Edition.

A Daredevil reboot from Marvel appears to still be a distant dream after writer and voice actor David Hayter said he did not in fact confirm a reboot of the popular series.

Hayter took to Twitter today to respond to reports that he had confirmed a Daredevil reboot during MCM London Comic Con, as first reported by Small Screen.

"No, I did not "confirm" a Daredevil reboot," Hayter said. "I mistakenly thought I’d read in the trades that it was happening, and I would love to see it. (And yes, I’d love to write it.)"

He added that he has "no inside information whatsoever."

Since this seems to be trending…

No, I did not “confirm” a Daredevil reboot.

I mistakenly thought I’d read in the trades that it was happening, and I would love to see it. (And yes, I’d love to write it.)

But I have no inside information whatsoever.https://t.co/jfPkQu76kx pic.twitter.com/TJtltS0nuO

— David Hayter (@DavidBHayter) November 11, 2021

The original reports sprang from a comment by Hayter during a Q&A in which he said he would love to adapt elements from Frank Miller's Daredevil run. "They're doing a reboot of Daredevil, and Daredevil was always a very important character to me," Hayter said. "I loved the first way they did it, but there's certain things that I would want to adapt from the Frank Miller run on Daredevil that really meant a lot to me. That's really the one."

Like the rest of us, Hayter evidently heard rumors of a reboot in the wake of the property reverting from Netflix back to Marvel Studios. Daredevil lasted three seasons on the streaming platform before being canceled in 2018.

While fans would certainly love to see the return of Marvel's blind superhero, actor Charlie Cox cautioned them to be careful what they wished for. "You don’t want to taint what you’ve already got," Cox said in a recent interview. “If we never come back, you’ve got these three great seasons — and our third season was our best-reviewed. So, the trajectory was up. I am tremendously proud and grateful for what we have.”

Oh well, we'll always have that hallway fight scene.

For now, Marvel fans will have to make do with Hawkeye, which is launching on Disney+ on November 24. Find out what's new on Disney+ in November right here.

Oh, how things have changed. Fifteen years after gamers raised heck about horse armor in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Bethesda is discounting the infamous DLC in Skyrim Anniversary Edition, as first reported by PC Gamer.

The horse armor DLC can be found in Skyrim's Creation Club menu. You should see both versions (steel and elven) pop up in the Featured tab for download. From there, restart your game and head to any stable in the region. Find the NPC who sells you horses and there will be new dialogue to acquire armor for your valiant steed. Choose which version you want, pay the kind stableman 500 Septim, and you've officially pimped out your ride.

It's funny to think that when Bethesda introduced Oblivion players to horse armor DLC, it only cost $2.50 (or 200 Microsoft Points), and many in the gaming community laughed at the notion of paying real money for cosmetic DLC in a single-player game. Nowadays, the term "battle pass" and "content roadmap" are par for the course, and gamers everywhere are paying much, much more than $2.50 for in-game items. According to US Gamer, Bethesda was simply the first third-party publisher to bite on Microsoft's idea to provide microtransactions on the Xbox Live Marketplace.

It wasn't even so much the fact that the DLC existed (Oblivion certainly didn't invent the idea for post-launch content), but the price point that riled people up. Check out old NeoGaf forum posts and you'll see people joking that next we'd get horse armor sponsored by Pepsi. Horse Armor quickly became a running joke in the video gaming community anytime a developer released DLC that seemed less-than-necessary.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 10th Anniversary Edition thankfully comes with much more than horse armor to celebrate the occasion. The re-release includes new questlines, weapons and armor from Morrowind, survival mode, and fishing mechanics. That's on top of all previously released content, Creation Club content, and more. Skyrim Anniversary Edition is out today.

MoviePass, the too-good-to-be-true theater ticket subscription service/venture capital nightmare, may be returning in some form. Business Insider reports that original cofounder Stacy Spikes has purchased the company back.

Spikes was granted ownership over MoviePass on Monday by a Southern District of New York bankruptcy court judge, with the purchase finalized on Wednesday. Spikes reportedly placed an undisclosed bid to the trustee handling the bankruptcy of Helios and Matheson Analytics, the company's previous owner who purchased MoviePass in 2017 as it struggled to stay afloat.

You can watch our video on MoviePass' demise below.

"We are thrilled to have it back and are exploring the possibility of relaunching soon," Spikes told Business Insider. "Our pursuit to reclaim the brand was encouraged by the continued interest from the moviegoing community. We believe, if done properly, theatrical subscription can play an instrumental role in lifting moviegoing attendance to new heights."

MoviePass imploded in incredible fashion back in 2019, thanks in part to a seemingly wildly unstable business model and subsequent (and dramatic) changes to that business model. These included price surging, removing popular movies from the app (I myself was jilted out of seeing Mission Impossible: Fallout at the last minute), even changing users' passwords to lock them out of the app. The pitch was genuinely astounding: Users originally only had to pay $7 a month to watch as many movies in theaters as they liked. When Helios and Matheson acquired MoviePass in 2017, the company launched a subscription tier for $10 a month to see one movie per day. Subscriber count skyrocketed from 20,000 to 100,000 in two days. At its peak, MoviePass boasted more than 3 million subscribers. Spikes, who says he raised concerns about the company's sustainability, was fired from in 2018.

Like all things too good to be true, this proved wildly unrealistic. After months and months of speculation, Helios and Matheson Analytics shut down MoviePass for good in September 2019.

Weirdly, MoviePass began teasing some sort of comeback earlier this year with a new website with the MoviePass name and featuring a mysterious countdown. It's unclear if this is part of Spikes' plan to revitalize the brand.

It's possible Spikes may have reacquired MoviePass for a comparatively modest sum. In the June 2020 bankruptcy auction for Helios and Matheson assets, Business Insider reports no competitive bids were made. The bankruptcy trustee set a minimum bid of $250,000, but Helios and Matheson listed the estimated value of MoviePass between $1 million and $10 million, according to Variety.

Spikes told Business Insider that he acquired MoviePass for less than the $250,000 minimum amount. Customer data and emails were not part of the sale, he added.

Spikes has launched a new website dubbed iwantmoviepass.com where users can submit their email for future notifications about the service.

In the years since MoviePass' demise, theater chains like AMC have started their own filmgoing subscription plans, like AMC Stubs A-List.
