With so many new games and movies coming out, it can be hard to keep up. Lucky for you, IGN is here to help with a weekly round-up of the biggest releases each and every week. Check out the latest releases for this week, and be sure to come back next Monday for a new update.
Note: The prices and deals compiled below are accurate at the time we published this story, but all are subject to change.
Early 2019 is already shaping up to be a terrifyingly-good year for Netflix, with its latest action-thriller series, titled Kingdom, set to release on January 25.
According to a synopsis from Netflix, “The eight-episode series, produced by a prominent Korean Drama production company, Astory, is set in Korea’s medieval Joseon period where a crown prince is sent on a suicide mission to investigate a mysterious outbreak that leads him to a brutal truth that threatens the kingdom.”
For a better look at Kingdom, check out the exciting new teaser trailer below:
The streaming provider says that Kingdom “breaks new ground by combining two popular genres in one series: historical period drama and zombie action-thriller. The show is a collaboration between two of Korea’s strongest storytellers – director Kim Seong-hun whose latest success Tunnel was a top five movie in the Korean box office last year; and writer Kim Eun-hee whose series Signal was one of the top K-dramas in 2016.”
The first Detective Pikachu trailer is finally here, and with it comes nearly two dozen Pokemon rendered as realistically as possible. Some were clear, but many were hidden in a “blink and you’ll miss it” fashion.
Featured Pokemon include Jigglypuff, Braviary, Joltik, Pancham, a terrifying Mr. Mime and more. Check out the slideshow below to spot each and every one to see how these creatures would look in the real world.
The trailer also had various nods to Pokemon that weren’t actually shown in full, including signs with Victini, Wooper, Petilil and more. There were also multiple posters showing off both regular and legendary Pokemon like Rayquaza, Reshiram and Zekrom.

Updated: November 2018
It wasn’t long ago the best gaming laptops were too expensive, too underpowered, and too cumbersome to really compete with desktop gaming, but times have changed. Right now, the best gaming laptop in 2018 can replace a desktop in many cases. A gaming laptop won’t compete one-to-one with a comparably priced desktop in terms of cost, but the best gaming laptops make up for it by virtue of convenience. In fact, the cost of gaming laptops has come down to where that convenience becomes ever more attractive.
Dropping an entire building on my enemies while leaping up in the skies and going through the windows of a building has never been so colorful until I did it in the multiplayer mode of Crackdown 3. At this past weekend’s X018 event, Microsoft gave a new, earlier release date for their next big first-party exclusive (February 15) and formally presented its multiplayer mode. It’s called Wrecking Zone, it puts the “power of the cloud” to work, in real time, and we got to play it.
The mode we tried is called Agent Hunter. This is a 5v5 match where both teams have to face each other in a 10-minute round. The objective is to kill and obtain the greatest number of Badges that the enemies drop when they die. The twist in this mode is that what counts is not the kills, but the Badges obtained. These disappear after 10 seconds, so you must be fast or have been close to the enemy to get them, otherwise your effort will have been in vain. Considering that enemies can be over or below you, you have to think twice when and where you make that final shot.
Stan Lee, the Marvel Comics legend who co-created some of its most famous heroes like Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the Fantastic Four, died Monday in Los Angeles at the age of 95. Lee was reportedly rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he later died, according to TMZ. The cause of death has not been immediately released.
Lee’s legacy is defined by his numerous popular comic book character creations for Marvel Comics, where he began working in 1939 when the company was called Timely Comics. The company changed its name to Marvel Comics in 1961 when Lee and artist Jack Kirby co-created the Fantastic Four and saw it go on to become a hit.
Greetings, true believers! We have six exclusive new character posters for you to enjoy from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sony’s upcoming animated feature film based on the Marvel Comics characters.
The posters in the slideshow below feature Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore), Peter Parker (voiced by Jake Johnson), Gwen Stacy (voiced by Hailee Steinfeld), Spider-Man Noir (voiced by Nicolas Cage), Peni Parker (voiced by Kimiko Glenn), and Spider-Ham (voiced by John Mulaney).
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the origin story of how high schooler Miles Morales becomes Spider-Man following the death of his dimension’s Peter Parker. For the first time, a Spider-Man movie revolves around a central character who isn’t Peter Parker. The latter is in the film, but it’s an older, slightly more jaded incarnation of the character, this one from another dimension. But Peter isn’t the only other-dimensional wall-crawler Miles allies with here.
