Halo Infinite's single-player campaign has a bug that is currently affecting players jumping back into their play sessions via Xbox Series X/S' Quick Resume feature. 343 has acknowledged the matter, however, and says that a fix is currently in the works.

As shared in a tweet by 343's community director Brian Jarrard, Halo Infinite currently features a bug that stops multiplayer cosmetics earned in the game's campaign from showing up in your multiplayer inventory. Currently, 343 hasn't specified a time frame for a fix on the issue, though the studio has stated it's something that it is working on.

"When playing Halo Infinite's campaign you will come across armor lockers that contain cosmetics for your MP Spartan," writes Jarrard on Twitter. "If you are offline, or disconnected from services - which can occur after Quick Resume - the cosmetics won’t show up in your MP inventory."

"The team is aware and we will eventually have a retroactive fix (you will get the cosmetics you've earned). For now, I recommend not continuing a Quick Resume session and making sure you’re online before venturing into Zeta Halo."

The easiest way to ensure that you don't start the game via Quick Resume is to fully quit Halo Infinite before re-launching the game from your console's home screen whenever you plan to jump into a session. While this is far from a difficult workaround, it's still a minor inconvenience that players will now need to keep in mind for the foreseeable future.

Halo Infinite's long-awaited campaign launched yesterday (December 8). While the single-player mode has received high praise from critics across the internet, its launch hasn't been without a number of smaller hitches. Users across social media reported that they had experienced issues with the Xbox App failing to recognize the campaign as being live as well as the game's slow download speeds.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are back to celebrate twenty years of the Harry Potter series in a new special on HBO Max.

Chris Columbus, who directed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, will join them alongside other cast members from the series as they reflect on the popular film series and its legacy.

Available exclusively on HBO Max, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will see the three original Harry Potter cast members reunite. And now we’ve got our first look at the three of them together on set.

Other cast members joining the reunion include Robbie Coltrane, Gary Oldman, Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, Jason Isaacs, Imelda Staunton, Tom Felton, James and Oliver Phelps, Mark Williams, Bonnie Wright, Alfred Enoch, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, and Ian Hart among others.

Notably, there’s no mention of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling who has been quietly distanced from the film franchise following her controversial anti-trans views.

The retrospective special looks back across all eight Harry Potter movies, with in-depth interviews and conversations with the cast and crew taking place on the original Hogwarts sets.

According to HBO, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts will take fans “on a magical first-person journey through one of the most beloved film franchises of all time.”

If you’re a Harry Potter, you won’t want to miss it. After all, it sounds a lot like HBO Max’s Friends: The Reunion special, which created a lot of buzz around the decades-old TV show.

Although Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson haven’t played Harry, Ron and Hermione for over a decade at this point, director Chris Columbus still hopes to reunite the trio for an adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child – the hit theatre production.

Will there be anything to announce at the 20th Anniversary reunion? For now, we’ll have to wait and see. But it could be just what Warner Bros. needs to get the ball rolling.

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts is available on HBO Max from January 1 and will air on TBS and Cartoon Network in Spring 2022. Here’s how you can watch it.

One of Destiny's most recognizable weapons is getting its own real-life Nerf overhaul. That's right, Bungie is partnering up alongside toy-weapon creators Nerf to bring out their own foam-firing Gjallarhorn.

Now listed on the Bungie store, the toy version of the legendary Destiny rocket launcher which will be available to pre-order in late 2022.

The weapon, which is being redesigned with Nerf's iconic orange lick of paint, is being designed at a 1:1 scale of its video game counterpart and will measure more than 4 feet in size. Similar to its appearance in Destiny, the Nerf weaponry will fire its own version of the launcher's Wolfpack rounds in the form of a "first-of-its kind Mega" that will launch three darts at once from inside the shell. The weapon will also feature a breach loading mechanism inspired by the game, as well as an illuminated scope.

While pre-orders for the weapon aren't yet available, the Nerf Gjallarhorn is currently listed at $160. Early access to pre-orders will be granted to players who acquire the in-game version of Gjallarhorn by completing Destiny 2's new dungeon as part of the newly released 30th Anniversary Pack before August 1, 2022. Despite Bungie not confirming an official date for early access pre-orders, the studio has said that players who are eligible at the time will be notified by email.

Bungie brought back the Gjallarhorn in Destiny 2 this week as part of a special 30th Anniversary Pack. As part of the celebrations, the studio also revealed a number of new Halo-themed weapons that include Destiny-themed takes on the Battle Rifle, Energy Sword, and more.

Star Wars prequel series The Acolyte is eyeing Amandla Stenberg for its leading role.

According to Variety, the 23-year-old American actor is in talks to join the upcoming Star Wars prequel series, The Acolyte which is heading to Disney+.

Although details on Stenberg’s role are being kept under wraps, it’s thought that they will be playing the titular ‘Acolyte’… and this may shed some light on whether Stenberg is going to be heading to the Dark Side.

Traditionally, an acolyte in the Star Wars universe refers to a member of the Sith who has begun training under the tutelage of a Sith Lord. This certainly tallies – after all, The Acolyte is said to take place around 50 years prior to The Phantom Menace, during the final days of the High Republic era.

This was a time before the Rule of Two – a restriction imposed by Darth Bane which means there are only ever two Sith in existence at any one time. One master and one apprentice.

“The Acolyte is a mystery thriller that will take us into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emergent dark side powers in the final days of the High Republic era,” said series producer Kathleen Kennedy as she unveiled The Acolyte.

Now, it looks as though we could know who The Acolyte will be.

Of course, there has been plenty of speculation about who The Acolyte will serve under, with Star Wars fans suggesting we may finally see the story of Darth Plagueis play out on screen.

Stenberg is known for their breakout role in The Hunger Games, where they starred as District 11 tribute, Rue. Stenberg has since starred in the likes of As You Are, The Hate U Give and Dear Even Hansen.

Nexon has announced that it is working on a new game based on Games Workshop’s Warhammer: Age of Sigmar. Described as a “Virtual World”, the game will be a PvE multiplayer game with RPG elements.

Announced in a press release, Nexon revealed that it has entered into a licensing agreement with Games Workshop for the project. In development for PC, consoles, and mobile, the as-yet untitled Warhammer: Age of Sigmar game will be supported by Nexon’s “world-class Live Operations”. Essentially, it sounds like it’s a live service MMO-style game, which is unsurprising considering Nexon’s back catalogue.

While there is no title or release date yet, Nexon has already provided an outline for how its Age of Sigmar game will play. Players will command war hosts of the God-king Sigmar and his allies (so the Stormcast Eternals and other 'Order' forces, rather than anything Chaos, Death, or Destruction-flavoured), collecting new characters and travelling to new realms each season. Each character comes with unique options, stories, and gameplay, with the ability to customize characters and work cooperatively with other players.

From that description, it does sound more than a little like a Warhammer version of Genshin Impact, which is also a live service PvE game in which new characters and locations are unlocked with seasonal updates. Only time will tell if that hunch is close to the truth, though.

Japan’s Osaka Prefectural Police is using Ace Attorney characters as part of a campaign to tackle marijuana use among children.

In a press release from Capcom, the company revealed that it is working with Osaka police’s juvenile delinquency prevention awareness program to produce 6,000 posters and 4,000 flyers that will feature characters from The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. The posters feature the classic Ace Attorney “objection!” stance, accompanied by a large “NO!” written in the instantly recognisable font.

According to Capcom, the Osaka Prefectural Police reached out to the company to request use of the Ace Attorney characters as part of their new anti-weed campaign. The police are currently promoting an anti-drug message to children after they witnessed “a conspicuous shift toward younger age groups” among marijuana use cases.

The flyers will be given out alongside individually wrapped face masks at Osaka Prefectural educational institutions, police boxes, and train stations from today, December 9.

While this is the first time Ace Attorney characters have been used as part of a policing project, Capcom has previously worked with law enforcement before, having collaborated with prefectural police in the Kansai region on prevention activities and traffic safety awareness for Tamura Police Station, among other projects.

Spider-Man adversary Kraven the Hunter almost made his big-screen debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home… until the multiverse happened.

During an interview with Collider, Spider-Man star Tom Holland revealed that Spider-Man: No Way Home was originally going to introduce the classic Marvel villain.

“For a long time, there was going to be a Kraven movie that was going to be the third movie because things weren’t working out and all sorts of different stuff,” he explained. “Jon pitched me this Kraven movie, which actually was really cool. I don’t want to talk about it in case that movie ends up happening down the line, but it was fun.”

“When I first heard about [the multiverse], I was like, 'okay cool, but that’s definitely not going to happen’,” said Zendaya, who plays MJ in No Way Home.

Kraven the Hunter first appeared in Amazing Spider-Man #15 – a master tracker and big game hunter who becomes obsessed with capturing Spider-Man himself. He quickly became one of Spider-Man’s most formidable adversaries and even became more of an antihero in later stories.

Although Tom Holland’s third Spider-Man movie went in a different direction, Kraven will still be getting his big-screen debut in a Kraven the Hunter spin-off film.

Starring Aaron Taylor Johnson as Kraven, the upcoming Spider-Man spin-off is currently set for a January 2023 release. It will be directed by J.C. Chandor with a script by Art Marcum, Matt Holloway, and Richard Wenk.

Even if No Way Home director Jon Watts has been dying to get his hands on Kraven.

“Oh, I would love Kraven,” he told Uproxx back in 2019. “It’s just the trick of how do you do Kraven in a movie?”

The Kraven the Hunter movie is one of several Spider-Man spin-offs heading to the big screen, including Morbius and the recently announced Venom 3.

It looks as though Spider-Man: No Way Home has a lot to thank Sam Raimi for – not just for bringing Spidey to the big screen.

During an interview with Den of Geek, Spider-Man star Tom Holland revealed that Spider-Man: No Way Home introduces a familiar style to the MCU.

“I think what Jon Watts did really well is [what] he would call the ‘Raimi Cam’,” said Holland. “And he would do these really quick, smash push-ins on characters, which is something Sam Raimi, I suppose, was quite famous for. So, Jon definitely paid respect to the previous two movies.”

Before his work on the Spider-Man trilogy, Raimi was famous for his low-budget horror entries – impressing audiences with the Evil Dead trilogy.

Known for his energetic camera style and often shaky, realistic shots, this high energy was brought to the Spider-Man films of the 2000s. Now, it looks as though we can expect to see that in Spider-Man: No Way Home – at least, to some degree.

But that’s not the only thing returning from those earlier movies.

It’s no secret that Alfred Molina, who starred as the villainous Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2, is returning for No Way Home. However, it sounds as though he had to get used to a different way of filming this time around.

“There was quite a lot of [comparing notes], actually,” explained Holland, “especially with Alfred, because I think back in the day his arms were puppeteered, and obviously in this film they’re completely CG. I think it gave him a lot more creative freedom in the way that you can move around the set. It was really nice to see someone kind of adapt to the new way of filmmaking.”

Although Holland admitted it was nice to honor the previous Spider-Man movies, there was also a huge sense of responsibility when working with titans such as Molina. And the Spider-Man cast even hinted that there were a lot of “heavy hitters” on set.

“It was crazy,” said Zendaya, who plays MJ. “Unreal. In fact, there were days when Tom would ask us to come in, just as emotional support, because it’s a crazy thing.”

“That one day that we can’t talk about,” said Holland. “When you guys came in. It made me feel very comfortable. It was like you were my cheerleaders.”

Why can’t Holland talk about it? Jacob Batalon, who plays Peter’s best friend Ned Lees, said only that “there were a lot of heavy-hitters for sure.”

Are you having trouble installing the Halo Infinite Campaign? You may have to troubleshoot a bit to get it up and running including resetting your system and installing an update for the Halo Infinite multiplayer first.

As players wake up to get started on the Halo Infinite campaign, some are encountering issues where either the campaign update is downloading slowly, or the Xbox app doesn't seem to recognize the campaign is live yet.

Some players have encountered a pre-order banner when launching the campaign when it should be already available.

According to users online and verified by IGN staff, there are a couple of ways to fix these issues. First, on the matter of slow downloads through the title screen, Halo senior designer on the Academy David Ellis recommends users exit the game and suspend it to increase download speeds.

As for those who are even unable to download the Campaign in the first place, users online say hard resetting your Xbox console, opening the game, and then installing a separate 4GB install first will then allow you to begin downloading the 21.9GB campaign update.

IGN has tested both of these tips and found they worked, allowing us to download the campaign or increase our download speed.

This is still the first day of Halo Infinite's official campaign launch so there could be some backend weirdness. For anyone who is already playing, check out IGN's Halo Infinite guide for more helpful tips, or read our Halo Infinite campaign review.
