WB Games Montreal’s New Project to Debut at DC FanDome

DC has unveiled the panel lineup for DC FanDome, a 24-hour event set to begin on Aug. 22, and among its lineup will be the first look at two long-awaited, rumored, and teased games based on DC characters.

As previously revealed via a single image featuring Superman in the crosshairs of the Suicide Squad, Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham follow-up will be featured in a panel on Aug. 22 at 5 p.m. PT. DC also confirmed the name for the game, a version of which has previously been leaked, to be Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/rocksteadys-next-game-suicide-squad”]

The panel description currently reads: “Will Arnett hosts the highly anticipated video game reveal from Rocksteady Studios, creators of the Batman: Arkham franchise.”

Also confirmed to be at DC FanDome is WB Games Montreal’s currently untitled game, the studio’s first since Batman: Arkham Origins. The panel promises an announcement and first look at the game, which has long been teased and rumored to be a Batman game. The studio released teaser images for the game on Batman Day last year, followed by one additional tease of another logo and website earlier this year, only for silence to follow. After E3 2020 was cancelled, reports suggested that WB Games had been planning to show the alleged Batman game at a company-focused E3 showcase.

The Montreal game panel description for now only reads “Gamers! You won’t want to miss this first look at an exciting new game, and Q&A with its developers.”

For several years now, speculation and some teases from the studio have led many to believe WB Games Montreal’s possible Batman game will feature some form of Court of Owls adaptation, but the studio has yet to release any official details about the game.

You can check out the full schedule for DC FanDome – and how to watch it – right now.

Jonathon Dornbush is IGN’s Senior News Editor, host of Podcast Beyond!, and is glad that Barrett Courtney will finally know if we’re getting a new Batman game soon. Talk to him about it on twitter @jmdornbush.

Iron Harvest’s Campaign Is Shaping Up Nicely

The huge Brunhilde lumbers towards enemy lines, a walking dreadnought. Its dorsal mortar thunders before it turns and opens fire with a broadside. It’s commanded by the disciplined, honorable Gunter von Duisburg, who barks orders at his men and demands obedience above all else. I’ve barely spent a few hours with von Duisburg but I feel an attachment to him because his character has been precisely communicated by both action and dialogue. When he leads the naive Prince Wilhelm into combat at the dawn of the great war, I can’t help but be curious about the nascent conflict between the two and where it’s going to lead.

The single-player RTS campaign is a beloved thing, but has become rare in recent years. In Iron Harvest, King Art Games is doing their best to make a campaign that will appeal deeply to anyone who ever loved an RTS campaign. If the preview I played of the first three Saxony missions is anything to go on, Iron Harvest will have enough plot twists, nail-biting missions, and narrative drama to keep me engaged to the end.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=iron-harvest-saxony-campaign-screenshots&captions=true”]

Iron Harvest’s setting, the 1920+ world of polish painter Jakub Różalski, is a roaring engine of diesel mechs and World War 1 themes. It’s an alternate history world where the problems that arose in our own are amplified by the powerful automachines and mechs that stride its battlefield. Fully industrialized warfare is sprung on the people of Eastern Europa and its nations, Saxony, Polania, and Rusviet, as a terrible thing. Saxony is a powerful nation with a proud imperial military tradition; My job was to be the fist of the nation.

The story seems written with a self-awareness of our own history. The characters that populate Iron Harvest know that the war they’re locked into is futile and horrible, but couldn’t be foreseen nor avoided. The Saxony campaign I played used a complex narrative structure of cutscenes, interspersed with flashbacks to the great war in the form of missions, to show how the war had changed the characters—including a hugely satisfying plot twist and a surprising character arc for Prince Wilhelm. I went into the campaign expecting some fun missions, but I got a more interesting and dramatically compelling story than I expect from most games, let alone an RTS.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/14/iron-harvest-saxony-campaign-trailer”]

But story won’t carry a game on its own. The core of Iron Harvest is a mid-paced RTS similar to Relic’s Company of Heroes or Dawn of War. It’s really somewhere in between the two. It eschews out-and-out lethality in favor of combat that cares more about unit composition and positioning over split-second tactics. Some units very effectively counter others, but even the fastest times-to-kill in the game aren’t faster than you can click the retreat button. To put it bluntly, the plodding mechs aren’t asking you for Starcraft-tier reflexes.

And it works great in single-player. The missions I played had excellent level design that not only showcased the way the game works, but offered up some pretty fiendish challenge at times. Some segments gave you limited units, requiring you to be careful how much damage you took and how you deployed—and especially what weapons you brought to a fight.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/29/iron-harvest-official-cinematic-trailer”]

In Iron Harvest, infantry units can swap between roles by picking up new equipment from the ground. That can be weapons another unit dropped when killed or gear that you found in a supply cache. The levels with a limited number of units really shone once I figured out how to manipulate my units by changing gear. I swapped weapons as I went—units would grab shovels to build field defenses, defend them, then pick up grenades off the enemy dead to become grenadiers for a new offensive.

These more freeform mission segments would segue into base-building sections fairly often – either to build up and defend an area, go on the offensive, or both. Capturing resources was never too easy, and it was obvious that the AI prioritized both attacking my base and taking resource nodes for itself. In some missions, it was all I could do to survive waves of attackers as I clawed my way up the tech tree.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/15/iron-harvest-pre-order-trailer”]

Difficulty made the comebacks and victories all the more satisfying. I loved the final pushes in those games, as the towns I so desperately defended were literally crushed beneath the steel feet of my heaviest mechs going to obliterate the enemy’s stronghold, or capture the final objective. I’m looking forward to seeing more when Iron Harvest releases for PC on September 1.

DC FanDome Schedule Revealed: The Flash, Justice League Snyder Cut, Suicide Squad, And More Coming To Event

With the global COVID-19 pandemic canceling major events like San Diego Comic-Con in 2020, there’s been a lot of pivoting in order to figure out how to bring the convention experience to people at home. Thus far, we’ve seen Funimation’s and Comic-Con’s attempts at a virtual convention. And now, DC is bringing its DC FanDome event to fans on August 22. The panel schedule has been released, and the show is looking very promising.

The big standout when comparing DC FanDome is the panels. While Comic-Con@Home gave us info on a couple of highly-anticipated movies, DC FanDome is delivering panels around numerous DC movies: Wonder Woman 1984, The Flash, The Batman, The Suicide Squad, Shazam 2, Black Adam, and the Snyder Cut of Justice League, all of which will include some massive stars.

Additionally, there are two DC games panels, including the recently teased Suicide Squad game from Rocksteady, the developer behind the Batman: Arkham trilogy. There is also a WB Games Montreal announcement as well, where it will debut a new game believed to be tied to Batman.

In addition to the Hall of Heroes, there is the WatchVerse, which focuses on TV shows like The Flash, Pennyworth, Black Lightning, Doom Patrol. This section will also have screenings of DC animated moves as well. You can check out a curated selection of the must-watch panels from there as well. We recommend the Young Justice panel which will be moderated by GameSpot’s Chris E. Hayner.

There are also the WatchVerse, KidsVerse, YouVerse, FunVerse, and InsiderVerse, each section offering up something different for fans.

This virtual event will run for 24-hours straight–with many of the panels having encore presentations in the early hours of the morning–and it will be free to attend for fans.

Below you’ll find a curated list of the most-notable panels coming to DC FanDome along with their official descriptions. This primarily includes both video gaming and movie panels for products DC has planned in the future. Additionally, there are many panels revolving around comic books as well. Most of the panels run for about 30 minutes, except for The Flash and Shazam, which will both be 10 minutes long.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League And WB Montreal’s Game Being Revealed At DC FanDome

Two new Warner Bros. games are set to be unveiled at DC FanDome on August 22, including the newly-announced Suicide Squad game from Rocksteady Games, the developer of Batman: Arkham Knight. The other game will be from Warner Bros. Montreal, developer of spin-off Batman: Arkham Origins.

The WB Montreal reveal is one of the first events of the day, scheduled for 10:30 AM PT, and will take 20 minutes. “You won’t want to miss this first look at an exciting new game and Q&A with its developers,” the description reads.

The studio has been teasing what looks like a new Batman game for some time now, and they’ve used the phrase “Capture the Knight” in their hints. Back in May, the studio tweeted that it was not ready to show its next project just yet. One popular theory is that the game will feature the Court of Owls, the shadowy cabal introduced in Scott Snyder’s opening run of The New 52 reboot of Batman. We’ll finally know for sure soon.

At 5 PM that same day, a 20-minute panel called “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” is scheduled, and will be hosted by Will Arnett (who played Batman in LEGO Batman). The panel’s one-line description reads “Will Arnett hosts the highly anticipated video game reveal from Rocksteady Studios, creators of the Batman: Arkham franchise.”

It seems likely that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be the game’s final name–or, if not, killing the Justice League will at least be your objective within the game. The game’s poster shows a version of Superman–or possibly Bizarro–with an ominous purple light emanating from his eyes.

It’s unclear what systems these games are for, how they’ll play, or whether they will be single-player or multiplayer titles. Hopefully all will be revealed at DC FanDome. Fans can also expect more information on the Snyder Cut of Justice League during the event.

Dying Light Revives An Old Game With Its Latest DLC, And It’s Out Now

Dying Light: Hellraid is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The latest piece of DLC for Dying Light–the six-year-old open-world zombie game–is actually a revival of sorts for developer Techland. The studio was working on a fully-fledged Hellraid game before it began development on Dying Light, but the project was ultimately put on hold as the team consolidated its resources to focus on the future of its zombie game.

Now it lives again like the reanimated corpse of a famished zombie. Hellraid begins with the discovery of a mysterious arcade cabinet in the basement of Dying Light’s first hub area. No one in the Tower knows where it came from, but it opens up a gateway to another realm that transports you from the familiar streets of Harran and into a demon-infested dungeon.

You’ll wield medieval swords, axes, and hammers to fend off the hordes of skeletons and otherworldly monstrosities out to kill you. There are bounties to pick up to earn additional prizes for repeated runs through the dungeon, and the whole thing can be played either solo or with up to three other players.

Techland initially began work on Hellraid after wrapping up production on Dead Island. The game was revealed and originally intended to launch in 2013, but was eventually delayed with a re-engineered version due to launch on Steam Early Access in 2014. That never happened and the game was put on hold in 2015 as it failed to meet the developer’s own expectations. There was, however, a mobile game called Hellraid: The Escape that launched in 2014.

As is par for the course with anything brandishing the Hellraid name, the DLC was actually delayed, too. Techland originally planned to release it in July, but delayed the launch after gathering feedback during its beta.

Hellraid is finally out now, though, and Dying Light owners can purchase the expansion for $9.99 / £7.99 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The full game is still on hold but it doesn’t look like we’ll be seeing it anytime soon. Techland is currently working on Dying Light 2 and “a new, unannounced IP.”

Dying Light 2 currently has no release date after being originally scheduled to launch sometime in Spring 2020. Since then, however, the game was delayed indefinitely, with Techland writing, “We need more development time to fulfill our vision.” The studio also cut ties with writer Chris Avellone amid allegations of sexual assault and harassment.

Horizon Zero Dawn Fixes Some Of Its Crashes On PC With Patch 1.01, Available Now

Horizon Zero Dawn launched on PC earlier this month and the former PlayStation 4 exclusive hasn’t had a smooth ride on its new platform thus far. Some notable issues have held back the PC version, but developer Guerrilla Games announced last week that it’s trying to fix the crashes and other technical issues many players have encountered since launch. That begins today, as patch 1.01 is now live.

While the latest update doesn’t fix everything, Guerrilla has outlined some of the high priority issues it’s currently working on. For instance, patch 1.01 fixes some of the game’s start-up crashes but not all of them, so this is something the studio is hoping to address in future updates. There are also some GPU-related hangs during gameplay, performance issues on specific GPUs and hardware combinations, and graphical settings issues such as 4K not displaying correctly or anisotropic filtering not working, that are being worked on.

Aside from this, patch 1.01 does fix a number of issues related to functionality, improved diagnostic data, and more.

“We’re very grateful for all the reports and posts from our players so far,” Guerrilla said in a post on Reddit. “Some issues still need more investigation and testing, so our team is hard at work on the next patch which will go live next week. If you are experiencing issues, please continue to send us your crash reports; additionally, you can go here to report any other problems you might encounter.”

Horizon Zero Dawn PC 1.01 Full Patch Notes

Known Issues

In addition to the issues identified previously, we’re working on a number of high-priority issues:

  • Some players are experiencing startup crashes. Patch 1.01 fixes a few, but not all, of these crashes.
  • Some players are experiencing GPU-related hangs during gameplay. The improved diagnostic data collection added in Patch 1.01 is aimed at making it easier to track these down.
  • Some players are experiencing graphical settings issues, such as Anisotropic Filtering not working, 4K not displaying correctly, or HDR not working correctly.
  • Some players are experiencing performance issues on specific GPUs or hardware combinations.
  • We’re aware of and continue to investigate all issues in this list on Reddit as well. Thank you to u/EvilMonkeySlayer for compiling this for us.

Patch Notes

Crash/Hang Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the game would crash if the SteamUI didn’t initialize properly on startup.

Functionality Issue Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Concentration and other slowdown mechanics wouldn’t work for everyone.
  • Fixed an issue where Windows/Steam profile names containing special characters would prevent some players from saving the game. We are still investigating other saved game issues as well.
  • Fixed an issue where Windows/Steam profile names containing special characters would prevent some players from saving screenshots in Photo Mode.

Other Fixes

  • Added improved diagnostic data collection when submitting a crash report.
  • Fixed several backend issues.
  • Fixed a video corruption issue for specific hardware. We’re continuing to look at other hardware configurations as well.

The Batman Writer Talks About How Trauma Will Shape This Version Of The Character

The Batman, the next film to portray DC’s caped crusader, is currently in the works, and there’s still a lot that is unclear about the project. It stars Robert Pattinson as Batman, and will be directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield). It’ll premiere in October 2021, and now, thanks to the co-writer, we have some sense of what the movie is going for.

In an interview with Den of Geek, script co-writer Mattson Tomlin talked about the film, and what will make it distinct from previous Batman films, including Inception director Christopher Nolan’s trilogy (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises). “It’s tough to talk about, just because you want the movie to speak for itself,” Tomlin said, but went on to share some details.

I think that, first of all, it’s a younger version than the most recent versions that we’ve seen,” he says. Pattinson is 34, however, which actually makes him a year older than Christian Bale was he he portrayed the character.

He goes on to discuss Matt Reeves as a filmmaker, saying that he’s “always coming from a point of emotion” rather than focusing purely on action, and touches on how this will inform his Batman. “I think that really looking at Batman as somebody who has gone through this trauma, and then everything that he’s doing is then a reaction to that, rather than shy away from that, I think this film leans into that in some very fun and surprising ways,” Tomlin says.

In the replies to Screen Rant’s tweet about the statement, people have pointed out that this isn’t exactly an original take on Batman, who has, in the wake of Frank Miller’s Batman: Year One, almost always been portrayed as having a tragic, traumatic back story.

Other actors attached to the film include Zoe Kravitz (Catwoman), Colin Farrell (The Penguin), Andy Serkis (Alfred), Paul Dano (The Riddler), and Jeffrey Wright (James Gordon).

One of the highlights of the film’s marketing so far has been the wild, strange interviews that Pattinson gives. You’ll be able to see him on Netflix next month in The Devil All The Time.

Resident Evil 7 Hits A New Sales Milestone And Is (Sort Of) Capcom’s 2nd Best-Selling Game

Resident Evil 7 has become the best-selling individual Resident Evil release, selling 7.9 million copies across PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This also makes it the second best-selling game ever released by Capcom, behind Monster Hunter World (16.1 million units). There are, however, some caveats behind these numbers, and it’s perhaps not really their second-best selling game.

The Capcom “Platinum Titles” list, which includes every game in their catalog to sell over 1 million copies, gives us a good look at the best-selling Capcom games, although how each individual game is “counted” seems to vary. For Resident Evil 7, we assume that the total figure includes sales of the “Gold” edition, which bundled together all the DLC, as it’s not included elsewhere; other games in the series have divided their sales across multiple releases.

This means that, technically, Resident Evil 4-6 have all sold better than 7 over their lifetimes, although their sales have spread across multiple releases and console generations. This could change if we get an updated version of Resident Evil 7 on future consoles.

The way Resident Evil titles track their figures makes it difficult to get a full and complete picture of how well they’ve sold–individual releases are tracked seperately, and Capcom only releases sales figures for games that have sold over a million copies. We can get a better idea of their sales by combining these numbers.

Here’s a breakdown of Resident Evil 4-6, and how many copies each one has sold.

Resident Evil 4

  • GameCube: 1.6 million
  • PS2: 2.3 million
  • Wii: 2 million
  • PS4/Xbox One: 1.9 million
  • PC: 1.2 million
  • Xbox 360/PS3: 1.2 million
  • Switch: not listed

Total: (at least) 10.2 million

Resident Evil 5

  • PS3/Xbox 360: 7.7 million
  • Gold Edition, PS3/Xbox 360: 2.3 million
  • PS4/Xbox One: 1.8 million
  • PC/Switch: not listed

Total: (at least) 11.8 million

Resident Evil 6

  • PS3/Xbox 360: 7.6 million
  • PS4/Xbox One: 2.2 million
  • PC/Switch: not listed

Total: (at least) 9.8 million

The Resident Evil 2 remake continues to do very well, too, selling 7.2 million units–well above 4.96 million sales of the original PlayStation version (the PC, Nintendo 64, and GameCube versions evidently sold below 1 million copies). The Resident Evil 3 remake has sold 2.7 million to date, trailing the 3.5 million it sold on the original PlayStation.

The next game in the series, Resident Evil Village, is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X next year.

GTA Writer, Producer, and DJ Leaves Rockstar After Nearly 20 Years

Lazlow Jones, a veteran writer, producer and radio show host for the Grand Theft Auto series has left the studio after nearly 20 years.

As spotted by Grand Theft Auto YouTuber GTAMen, Jones’ LinkedIn profile details the split, noting that he left the company in April 2020 and is now working on a number of  in-development shows for Disney and Netflix and “consulting for a video game company.”

Lazlow Jones worked on many of Rockstar’s most popular franchises such as Red Dead Redemption, Bully and Grand Theft Auto. You may know him best from his in-game work, scripting and hosting many radio shows across the Grand Theft Auto series, lending his voice to V-Rock in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Chattersphere in Grand Theft Auto V.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/exclusive-ps5-xbox-series-x-content-coming-to-gta-online-ign-now”]

Jones’ writing partner Dan Houser most recently left Rockstar Games in March of this year, after founding the studio with his brother Sam in 1998. Sam Houser remains Rockstar’s company president.

In other Grand Theft Auto news, it was recently revealed that GTA 5 will be coming to next-generation consoles in “the second half of 2021.” You can also check out what exclusive content is coming to the next-gen versions of GTA Online. We also know from internal sources that a new GTA is in development at Rockstar.
