The Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbells are Back in Stock at Walmart, Amazon Right Now

The Bowflex SeletTech 552 dumbbell set is one of the most popular items we feature on IGN Deals. You probably thought the most popular stuff was games and computers and whatnot. Well, sure. Those are massive, for obvious reasons. But among the non-tech stuff that always does well is this set of weights. It’s in-stock right now, and has been since yesterday, which is something newsworthy in and of itself. This set tends to sell out quickly, even when it’s full price.

Bowflex SelectTech 552 Weights In-Stock

The lockdowns and stay-at-home orders helped make these weights really popular. Now that most places allow you to move about freely, you might think they’d slack off on popularity, but you’d be wrong.

I don’t have this set, but I do keep some dumbbells near my desk. Since I work from home I can multi-task by doing commerce content and making gains. It’s win-win for everybody.

With such a range between light and heavy all in one package, this is an extremely versatile weight set with the added bonus of not taking up all the room required for individually sized dumbbells.

Megapenguin Rehatched Announced, Built Entirely In Dreams

Dreams developer Media Molecule has released three levels for its latest Dreamiverse project, Megapenguin. Starring a very buff version of nature’s greatest killing machine–the penguin–the big draw of this game is that it isn’t complete yet and it’ll be up to the Dreams community to finish the job. To help Dreamiverse creatives out, Media Molecule has provided a selection of assets that can be used to craft more Megapenguin adventures.

“We’ve kicked things off with these three levels – but, in the spirit of Megapenguin, we would like you to fill in the rest of the story and, above all, help us get Megapenguin back to his fleet where he belongs,” Media Molecule explained in a blog post. “Who knows how long Megapenguin’s quest might end up being, or where it may take him? We certainly don’t. That’s the entire point of this.”

Dreams players can submit their creations to the Challenges page, with the best scenes eventually being picked for inclusion in the Adventure mode. Fans can also look forward to DreamsCom 2021, which will feature explorable booths and creations made entirely within the game. The convention floor will be open from July 28 until August 2, and Media Molecule will host Twitch livestreams, kicking off with a preview stream on July 27 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET.

Dreams first launched on the PS4 on February 14, 2020, and is also playable on PS5 through backwards compatibility.

Fear Street Part 1: 1994 – Exclusive Opening Scene

Debuting on July 2 on Netflix, Fear Street Part 1: 1994 is the first entry in a new horror movie trilogy that will be released over three consecutive weeks in July. Today, IGN can exclusively bring you the tense and terrifying opening five minutes of Part 1, which you can watch in the player above or via the embed below.

The Fear Street Trilogy is inspired by author R.L. Stine’s young adult horror book series of the same name, which was adapted for the screen by co-screenwriter and director Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon).

The trilogy is set in Shadyside, where a group of teenage friends in 1994 accidentally encounter the ancient evil behind a series of grisly murders that have plagued their community for over three centuries.

In the opening sequence, Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke plays a mall bookstore employee who is unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when horror returns to Shadyside. Check it out:

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2021/06/30/fear-street-part-1-1994-exclusive-opening-five-minutes”]

In addition to Maya Hawke, the cast of Part One includes Kiana Madeira, Olivia Scott Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Julia Rehwald, Fred Hechinger, Ashley Zukerman, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Jordana Spiro, Jordyn Dinatale, and Jeremy Ford.

Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was scripted by Phil Graziadei & Leigh Janiak. It debuts on Netflix on July 2.

Fear Street Part 2: 1978 debuts July 9, and the summer movie event concludes with Fear Street Part 3: 1666 on July 16.

Get 3 Years Of PlayStation Plus, And An Unlimited Lifetime VPN For Less Than $130 

As far as we’re concerned, if you have a PlayStation 4 or 5, you need PlayStation Plus. It’s the way to get awesome free games every month, play online with friends, and unlock the full potential of your console.  At the same time, if you’re a regular internet user, either to work from home or for play, then you should really have a secure VPN in place for unrestricted streaming and to protect your privacy. 

Chances are, if you’re reading this, you probably fall into at least one of those categories. Which is why you need to know about this VPN Unlimited Lifetime + 3-Yr Subscription Stackable Code Bundle we’ve found, which, with the limited time coupon code PLAYSTATIONDEAL, is on sale today for just $129.99 (regular price $378).

As such an essential to getting the most from the games you love – and the ones you’re yet to discover – it probably doesn’t come as a surprise that PlayStation Plus comes extremely highly rated, with 4.8/5 stars on Amazon.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Maps Return To Game After Being Removed In April

It’s strange enough that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare got a couple of new maps this far into Black Ops Cold War‘s lifecycle. To make things even weirder, the two maps were originally added back in March, but then removed in April to spend more time in development.

Now, though, Al-Raab Airbase and Drainage are back, probably for good (although we can’t be sure). Al-Raab Airbase is a 6v6 map that’s currently featured in a 24/7 playlist, while Drainage is a 2v2 Gunfight map.

When the two maps were added back in April exclusively to private matches, they took players by surprise. Seemingly just as suddenly, they were stealthily taken offline in April. Activision later explained that they were released prematurely and needed more work.

It’s pretty unusual for Activision to continue to support older Call of Duty titles with new content, but this might be indicative of the continuing popularity of Modern Warfare. Of course, Black Ops Cold War is still receiving the bulk of the attention, and you can check out what’s new in Black Ops Cold War and Warzone here.
