If you’re still mourning the loss of Clone Club, we’ve got good news — IGN can exclusively reveal that IDW Publishing is launching a new Orphan Black sequel comic that picks up right where Season 5 left off, with Cosima and Delphine traveling the globe to cure the other 274 sick Leda clones. Over the course of their journey, they’ll fall deeper in love, and deeper into a mysterious agenda which threatens to tear apart their noble mission, and their hearts.
The six-issue miniseries will be written by Heli Kennedy with art by Fico Ossio (Transformers vs. Visionaries), and will debut in June 2018.
The Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour concert series is coming back for a second round of performances around the world in 2018.

The locations and tour dates are as follows:
Los Angeles (USA) – June 9, 2018 – Dorothy Chandler Pavilion
Sydney (Australia) – July 7, 2018 – Sydney Opera House
The NRA: Practice Range game launched by The National Rifle Association has been removed from the iOS App Store.
Polygon reports the game was pulled at a time when public pressure on companies dealing with the NRA is particularly high.
Original makers of the game MEDL Mobile, also want nothing to do with the title, telling Polygon it no longer has anything to do with either NRA: Practice Range or the NRA itself.
Furthermore, Inedible Software, who is now listed as the game’s publisher on the App Store, reportedly is proving difficult to track down with no functioning website or social media contact.
Morgan Jones is still busting skulls alongside Rick and Carol in The Walking Dead Season 8, but come this April, Lennie James’ resilient character will be making the jump to TWD’s sister series, Fear the Walking Dead.
While we don’t yet know how or why Morgan will end up crossing paths with Madison (Kim Dickens) and her family, IGN has an exclusive first look at the new teasers for Season 4, which feature Morgan and newcomer Althea (played by Maggie Grace), to whet your appetite for the upcoming season.
Here’s how AMC is teeing up Season 4, which will be helmed by new showrunners Andrew Chambliss and Ian Goldberg: We will see the world of Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) and her family through new eyes — the eyes of Morgan Jones (Lennie James), joining the story from the world of The Walking Dead. The characters’ immediate past mixes with an uncertain present of struggle and discovery as they meet new friends, foes and threats. They fight for each other, against each other and against a legion of the dead to somehow build an existence against the crushing pressure of lives coming apart. There will be darkness and light; terror and grace; the heroic, mercenary, and craven, all crashing together towards a new reality for Fear the Walking Dead.
Stranger Things’ upcoming third season will introduce a new character.
Variety reports Maya Hawke (Little Women) has joined the hit Netflix show as an “alternative girl” bored with her mundane day job and seeking excitement in her life. However, after discovering a dark secret in Hawkins, Indiana, she gets more than she bargained for.
As the first Far Cry game set in the USA, the upcoming entry in Ubisoft’s open-world shooter series has created some hot debate amongst fans and critics alike. Taking place in the fictional Hope County, nestled within the deep wilderness of Montana, the central character will come into conflict with Eden’s Gate, a powerful and growing cult led by the charismatic Joseph Seed. Tackling some topics and imagery related to religious extremism and the cult of personality, Far Cry 5‘s narrative feels rather timely.
After spending some time playing the game at a Ubisoft press event in Livermore, CA–which included a crossbow range and tons of barbecue–we took some time to discuss what Far Cry 5 is setting out to do. In the above video, Aaron Sampson, Jean-Luc Seipke, Mike Mahardy, and Alessandro Fillari had a chat about how Far Cry 5 handles its topics and the current timing of its release, while also reveling in the sort of open-world hijinks that players would expect from the series. While the setting and politics surrounding the game are receiving much attention, the game is still what many fans of Ubisoft’s open-world shooter can expect.
Along with our talks about the tone and story, Aaron and I shared some stories of a few of the side quests and events that took place during our session–including a few missions that went horribly wrong. We also got to talk about the added scope of the co-op play and just how much you push the game with a friend.
March is now underway, which means players have a slew of new titles to look forward to. In contrast to last month, which was dominated by remasters and re-releases like Shadow of the Colossus and Bayonetta 2, March is filled with some of the year’s most anticipated sequels, including Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom and Far Cry 5. On top of those games, players will be able to pick up some intriguing original titles like A Way Out and the crime-solving Pokemon game Detective Pikachu on 3DS this month.
Below, you can find a roundup of the biggest games set to arrive on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and 3DS in March 2018. For a full look at all of the major titles coming to each platform throughout the rest of the year, check out our comprehensive 2018 game release date list.

As promised last week, Turok and Turok 2: Seeds of Evil are now available on Xbox One. Each has been visually enhanced but are otherwise untouched from the original dinosaur extinction events of your youth.
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was a 1997 N64 first-person shooter and adaptation of the Acclaim Comic of the same name. The sequel, released in 1998, added a hub-based mission structure and multiplayer. Both were known for their inventive gadgetry to take down dinosaur threats, along with some pea-soup fog to compensate for the N64’s lack of draw distance.
Fighting dinosaurs was always the central pitch, but the story naturally encapsulated the tone of 1990s comic books. The time-traveling Native American warrior Turok was tasked with protecting the barrier between Earth and a primitive world called the Lost Land. An evil being called the Campaigner was seeking to recreate the Chronoscepter from its scattered parts, so it fell upon Turok to stop him. The sequel brought in aliens, spaceships, and telepathic abilities for good measure.
Nightdive Studios is responsible for the remasters, having come fresh off a remaster of System Shock. The System Shock remaster team was placed on on hiatus shortly after release. The Turok games are selling for $20 apiece.
The spring movie season is now where many blockbusters live. Sure, the summer still pumps out huge movies that crowds show up to see, but late spring has quickly become the start of the blockbuster season. The next three months have quite a few big movies hitting theaters from Avengers: Infinity War to Rampage to Pacific Rim: Uprising, which will surely sell out opening weekend.
However, between March and May are some lesser-known films as well that seem fantastic, including some entertaining-looking horror films. We’ve checked out all the upcoming releases for the spring and found 15 that we’re excited for this season.
