    Paramount Delays Top Gun: Maverick, Jackass Forever to 2022

    Paramount is shuffling its upcoming schedule of theatrical tentpoles once again. Deadline reports that Top Gun: Maverick will now open on Memorial Day weekend next year, taking the release date originally set for Tom Cruise's other upcoming blockbuster, Mission: Impossible 7. The action sequel will now hit theaters three months later, on August 22, 2022.

    In addition to the two Cruise vehicles, Paramount has also delayed Jackass Forever to next year, moving the slapstick reunion from its October 22 release to February 4, 2022. With these delays, Paramount no longer has any theatrical releases planned for the remainder of 2021.

    The delays reflect a growing lack of confidence in theatrical distribution amid the current spread of COVID-19 and its more infectious Delta variant. Paramount aims to draw a large audience with each of these films and sees 2022 as a healthier theatrical marketplace to open them in.

    Last month, Paramount took Clifford the Big Red Dog off of its September 17 release date due to concerns over rising COVID-19 cases. Meanwhile, rumors have spread about Sony potentially pushing Venom: Let There Be Carnage to 2022, though a new poster indicates that it's still full steam ahead for the sequel's October 15 release date.

    Other upcoming releases like Marvel's Eternals, MGM's No Time to Die, and Sony's Spider-Man: No Way Home are still set to debut in theaters this year. After simultaneously releasing Black Widow in theaters and through Disney +'s Premier Access program, Marvel is returning to an exclusive theatrical release for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings this weekend.

    For more on Top Gun: Maverick, read about how Tom Cruise would have refused to make the sequel if Val Kilmer didn't return as Iceman.

    Intel Gamer Days Deal: Dell XPS Intel Core i7 RTX 3060 Ti Gaming PC for $1499

    True high end gaming on a budget. There is one of the best deals we've seen for an RTX 3060 Ti equipped PC. The RTX 3060 Ti is a very powerful video card; it's better than the previous generation's RTX 2080! It's a big upgrade from the 3060 non-Ti model and the one to get if you're going to play games at resolutions of 1440p or higher. This is the best Intel Gamer Days deal that Dell is offering so far, but there are a couple of other good deals as well.

    Intel Gamer Days Deal: CyberpowerPC Intel Core i7 RTX 3080 Gaming PC for $2199

    If you play games at 1440p or less, you can get away with an RTX 3060 or 3070, but if you want to game in 4K, then you're going to want to splurge for the RTX 3080 video card. It's the first card that really lets you play games at 3840×2160 without worrying about your framerate. This CyberpowerPC is equipped with an RTX 3080 video card, an unlocked Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and both SSD and HDD storage.

    Preorder the Middle Earth 6-Film Ultimate Collector's Edition (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital)

    This impressive Middle Earth Collector's Edition includes both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies over a whopping 31 discs. That's because there are separate 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray discs for both the Theatrical Editions and the Extended Editions. You also get digital HD copies for free, and they are compatible with MoviesAnywhere so you can merge it into your digital library. As far as extras go, you get a Special Features Blu-ray disc, a 64-page booklet, and 7 travel poster art cards. All the discs are stored in collectible foil sleeves.

    Monster Energy Zero Ultra, Sugar Free Energy Drink

    This deal is always popular with the IGN crowd when it comes along. Monster Energy Drinks usually cost about $2-$3 apiece at your local convenience store. On sale you might be lucky to find them for about $1.50. This deal lets you cop a 24-pack for only $1.05 apiece. Get it to under $1 per can if you add a total of five items to your current Amazon Subscribe & Save order. Monster is in my opinion the best tasting of the zero calorie energy drinks.

    Blue Microphones Yeti X USB Mic Warcraft Edition

    The Yeti X improves upon the original Yeti with a 4-capsule microphone array, a multi-function smart knob that controls mic gain, mute, headphone volume, a customizable 11-segment LED meter to visualize your voice level, and Blue Voice broadcast vocal effects. The Warcraft Edition features gold accents, laser-etched runes on the LED meter and base, voice modulation with Warcraft presets, and hundreds of Warcraft HD audio samples.

    50% Off Atgames Legends Gamer Mini (Standalone Arcade Console)

You can also use it as a controller for your PC, streaming device, or gaming console.

    Lenovo Intel Gamer Days Sale: Save on Legion Gaming Laptops and Desktop PCs

    Lenovo's "Legion" series of gaming PCs and laptops offer the latest and greatest gaming performance at a very reasonable cost. They're equipped with the newest RTX 30 series video cards, which offer huge speed gains compared to the previous generation's RTX 20 series cards, along with new technology like DLSS 2.0 (very useful) and ray tracing (not as much). Alongside these new GPUs are your choice of either AMD's Ryzen 5000 series or Intel's Rocket Lake/Tiger Lake processors. Lenovo also offers one of the best customer service experiences compared to other prebuilt PC makers, which is especially important if you haven't built the PC yourself. Lenovo's sale events can be hard to navigate, so we've conveniently rounded up a list of the best Legion deals going on right now.

    New Lenovo Legion AMD Ryzen RTX 30 Series Gaming Laptops Also Discounted

    The Intel Gamer Days Sale obviously covers Intel equipped gaming laptops and PCs, but that doesn't mean AMD is out for the count. Lenovo has AMD Ryzen 5000-series gaming laptops that are just as powerful as the latest Intel Core i7 processors, are equipped with the same RTX 30 series video cards, and are also marked down to a very competitive price.

    $2,100 Off Lenovo ThinkPad 15" 4K RTX 3080 Laptop

    Lenovo ThinkPad laptops are known for their best-in-class ruggedness and reliability, and even if it ever breaks down, Lenovo offers the best customer service in the business. Usually, that level of build quality and support usually comes at a steep price. Add an RTX 30 series video card to the mix and you'd expect a cost that most people would balk at. Take this laptop for example. It's retail price is nearly $5,000. However, there is a coupon today that drops the price way down to under $2900. If you're looking to purchase a ThinkPad that's got the power to do some serious gaming, you won't find a price like this anytime soon.

    Back in Stock (Including 1TB Model): WD Black SN850 M.2 SSD with Heatsink

    The Western Digital official storefront has all models of the SN850 SSD with heatsink in stock right now, and that includes the extremely hard to find 1TB model. This is currently the most popular (and probably the best) SSD to get for your PS5 storage upgrade. It's blazing fast drive with transfer speeds rated at up to 7,000 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface and it comes preinstalled with a heatsink. It's also confirmed by Western Digital themselves to be compatible with the PS5.

    Forza 5 Limited Edition Xbox Controller

    This wicked looking Xbox controller went up for preorder last week for $74.99. Today, it's on sale on Amazon for $69. This is one of the best new Xbox controllers out on the market. There's much attention to detail in this controller, like the transparent yellow finish with candy colored splatter, custom-colored, visible rumble motor and lighting effects, color shifting hybrid D-pad, asymmetrical thumbsticks in different bold colors, and textured controller grips.

    Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller

    This is the controller to get if you want the most precise and customizable Xbox controller on the market. This professional-grade controller features adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wraparound textured grips, interchangeable thumbsticks and paddle shapes, custom profiles saved on your controller itself, and included USB Type C cable with charging dock. It boasts up to 40 hours of battery life and is compatible with the Xbox Series S|X, Xbox One, and PC.

    New Release: Oculus Quest 2 VR Headset with More Storage, Same Price

    The Oculus Quest 2 has so far been the best value when it comes to VR gaming. It's hundreds of dollars cheaper than its competitors, it has phenomenal tracking, it doesn't need to be tethered to a PC, and it boasts a huge library of games (even Half Life: Alyx is easily playable on the Quest 2). It's also the best VR headset for Beat Saber. Now, Oculus has re-released its Oculus Quest 2 VR headset with double the storage (128GB vs 64GB) for the exact same price. There's even less of a reason now to pick something else.

    Amazon Prime Student Members Get 3 Months of Free Audible Premium Plus

    Marvel’s Midnight Suns Combat Uses a Card System, But Won’t Have Loot Boxes [Update]

    Update: Since unveiling the tactics card battle system in Marvel's Midnight Suns, some players have expressed concerns there could be loot boxes in the game.

    However, the developers have confirmed that there are no loot boxes in Midnight Suns, or any microtransactions involved with the cards system. There will however be purely cosmetic skins that will be available for purchase, but these won't impact the balance of the game.

    Original Story: Marvel’s Midnight Suns is the next big Marvel superhero game, but with a tactics twist. In a new gameplay reveal, developer Firaxis shared more on the card-based strategy combat system players will use to fight in the battle with Lilith.

    Midnight Suns is being developed by the Xcom makers at Firaxis, the strategy combat system might not be a big surprise. But in addition to the turn-based combat, players will also be utilizing the environment, team composition, and a random assortment of ability cards.

    As revealed in today’s gameplay walkthrough, combat in Midnight Suns involves picking three heroes and using a deck of random ability cards. Your abilities are tied to these cards, and because each “hand” is random at the start of a battle, you’ll have to think strategically to get results. These cards can also be upgraded as you progress through the game.

    This isn't a card game like Hearthstone, but something similar to rogue-lites that use card abilities like Slay the Spire.

    Players can use these ability cards in conjunction with the environment to deal massive damage to enemies as well. Blast your enemy at nearby gas tanks or even off the ledge to quickly clear the field of bad guys when you’re in a pinch.

    You can also coordinate team attacks if you have the right heroes with you. Improving your relationship with these characters during Midnight Suns’ social segments will also improve your tag-team abilities.

    As revealed during Gamescom ONL, Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a darker take on the Marvel universe with an emphasis on its more supernatural side. You’ll play as an original Marvel hero that you can fully customize and fight and live alongside famous Marvel heroes. While you’ll be able to socialize with them, you, unfortunately, can’t date anyone.

    Check out the full gameplay walkthrough in the video above right here on IGN.

    Marvel’s Midnight Suns Gameplay Revealed

    Today, XCOM developer Firaxis Games unveiled a look at gameplay for their upcoming tactical RPG, Marvel's Midnight Suns. As you can see in the gameplay reveal trailer above, it is not simply "Marvel's XCOM." Instead, when it is released in March 2022 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, it will play much differently than Firaxis's previous games.

    For a deeper dive into the gameplay, check out the six-minute narrated gameplay walkthrough video below. In it, you'll get a better look at the playing card/deck-based combat (these are superheroes, after all – they don't miss attacks!) as well as the relationship-forging side of Midnight Suns that takes place in the Abbey.

    Marvel's Midnight Suns includes a large variety of heroes from across the Marvel universe, including The Avengers, the X-Men, the Runaways, and more. You'll play as the Hunter, a completely customizable hero who is canon in the Marvel universe. You must unite heroes like Iron Man, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and many more in an effort to stop the newly awakened Lilith, the Mother of Demons and also mother of your Hunter character.

    Check out the first gameplay screens below:

    For even more gameplay video, tune in to the game's official website on September 7 for the next gameplay deep-dive. And if you missed the announcement (and announcement trailer) for Midnight Suns, check that out on IGN.
