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.

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.

Call Of Duty: Warzone Weapon Balance Update Changes Guns And Attachments

A new update is available now for Call of Duty: Warzone that makes changes to a series of weapons and attachments in the popular battle royale game. You can see the full patch notes at the bottom of this story.

The C58 and FARA 83 assault rifles in Warzone have had their recoil increased slightly, while the Nail Gun submachine gun’s maximum damage range has been decreased by 39%.

Now Playing: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare & Warzone – Official Season Four Trailer

Explaining these changes, Raven Software said the Nail Gun was designed to be lethal in close quarters like a shotgun. However, the max damage range was much greater than shotguns, allowing players to take down enemies at the same speed, or faster, than shotguns at nearly twice their effective range. As such, Raven is nerfing it. The developer didn’t explain why the assault rifles are changing, however.

As for attachments, several barrels are seeing their recoil control decreased by various percentage points. Raven said one of its goals is to reward players for learning things like reload times, the amount of bullets it takes to down an enemy, and the recoil patterns.

“Your proficiency with a Weapon should be a journey that is worked toward with an equivalent payoff. When we make weapons too effective and too easy to control, there is no journey of mastery and we can become disinterested with these weapons much quicker, which we feel can be a disservice,” the developer said.

“Even after these changes, we understand that there may still be incredibly effective and easy to control weapons when enough recoil control is applied through attachments. We will continue to target these Weapons as they arise to ensure that they strike a satisfactory balance between upside and downside.”

You can see the full patch notes below, as shared by Raven on its website.

Marvel’s Black Panther 2 Is Now In Production

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has started production. As reported by Variety, the sequel to the 2018 Marvel blockbuster Black Panther is now shooting in Atlanta ahead of its July 2022 release.

The new Black Panther movie is written and directed by Ryan Coogler once more, with many members of the first film’s cast expected to return. Chadwick Boseman, who played the title role in Black Panther, died last year, and Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige recently stated that making the new movie without him would be an emotional experience.

“It’s clearly very emotional without Chad,” he said at a virtual Black Widow event this week. “But everyone is also very excited to bring the world of Wakanda back to the public and back to the fans. We’re going to do it in a way that would make Chad proud.”

Marvel hasn’t officially announced the cast of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever yet. However, it was previously reported that Danai Gurira will be back as Okoye, while Lupita Nyong’o released this very silly video that seemed to confirm her return as Nakia. In addition, Martin Freeman recently stated that he will reprise the character of CIA agent Everett K. Ross. Feige previously announced that Boseman’s role of T’Challa wouldn’t be recast.

In an interview earlier this year, Coogler spoke about making the movie without Boseman, and admitted that he was finding it hard to separate his personal loss from the fact he has a job to do. “You have a professional life, you’ve got a personal life,” he said. “Personal life, I’m going to say that when you work in something that you love, those things blend, they come together. I’m trying to find a work-life balance. But I’m not there yet, so this is without a question the hardest thing I’ve had to do in my professional life.”

Escape From Tarkov’s Wipe Patch Is Now Live, Details Yet To Come

Patch 0.12.11 for Escape From Tarkov has launched after days of hints and teasers from developer Battlestate Games. The patch includes a full wipe of player inventories, setting everyone playing the hardcore MMO first-person shooter back to square one. However, a full list of patch notes for update 0.12.11 has not been released yet.

It’s no secret that a wipe for Escape From Tarkov was coming up. The game has long been due for one, with its last wipe arriving last December. Escape From Tarkov issues player inventory wipes twice a year. Battlestate Games also implemented some in-game changes to prepare players for an inventory wipe, including the deactivation of secure containers, which players use to keep precious equipment and cargo between runs, and hefty discounts at the game’s vendors.

As for what else is coming in Escape From Tarkov’s 0.12.11 patch, it’s a mystery, and that’s on purpose. In a tweet, Battlestate Games said that it wasn’t releasing a full list of patch notes on purpose. Instead, “We want to give you some time to discover the new features of the patch. We will post a full list of new features and changes later,” wrote the developer.

For the time being, the only details of patch 0.12.11 made available by Battlestate games is a long list of fixes players can expect to find. That list can be found down below and will be updated with the update’s full list of changes when it’s made available.
