This trailer nailed the tone and intention of the film I made. Methodical. Layered. Complex, beautiful and sad. After the BVS reviews shell shocked the leadership at the time, and the success of Deadpool – My soulful drama was beaten into a “comedy” https://t.co/vrMw8QE2iZ

Fans of Matt Kindt’s critically acclaimed sci-fi comic MIND MGMT will be happy to know Kindt is returning to the series in 2021. However, there’s a big catch. MIND MGMT: The Artifact isn’t being released by traditional means, but will instead be sold at auction as an NFT (or non-fungible token). Only one lucky bidder will have the privilege of actually owning and reading this new story.

IGN can exclusively reveal the first details about MIND MGMT: The Artifact, which is a single, standalone comic set within this sci-fi espionage universe. Because Kindt doesn’t want to reveal the contents of the story itself, he’s instead created an “artist’s statement” image that sheds some light on the philosophical nature of this story. Check out that image below:

“I wanted to create an original MIND MGMT comic book narrative that would explore the nature of belief and the value of ideas and their intangible nature as a way of exploring the idea of NFTs,” Kindt writes. “The best way to explore this idea was for the actual story – the MIND MGMT narrative – to become what it is about. This story is written as a MIND MGMT espionage narrative – an agent sent on a mission to retrieve a priceless artifact. There are secret codes, monk-ninjas. LOTS of monk-ninja and a teenage immortal intent on stealing this priceless artifact. This story is about the nature of belief and value while simultaneously becoming its own idea. It is both a real apple…and a drawing of an apple.”

Clearly, Kindt intends to use The Artifact as a way of commenting on the new obsession with NFT and the importance modern culture places on esoteric digital items. As the artist’s statement reveals, there are no current plans to reprint The Artifact in any form, digitally or in print. Kindt is leaving it up to the winning bidder to decide what becomes of the story. In that sense, The Artifact is similar to the infamous Wu-Tang Clan record that sold to Martin Shkreli in 2015 for $2 million. As far as we know, however, Kindt isn’t including a clause granting he or actor Bill Murray the right to attempt to steal it back.

“I have no intention of ever publishing MIND MGMT: The Artifact in a traditional way,” said Kindt in a statement. “The highest bidder for the auction will determine what happens next. Will they share it online? Will they read it with family and friends? Will it be erased? Does the value of an idea come from the owning of it? Or the sharing of it? That’s up to the one who possesses it. I don’t entirely know what happens next.”

This isn’t quite the first time a comic has been released as a single NFT, as Omar Spahi’s Xenoglyphs became the first to capitalize on what’s sure to become a growing trend in the industry. However, this is easily the most high-profile example to date. NFT technology has suddenly become a source of fascination in light of a single JPG image selling for a record-breaking $69 million at auction in March 2021. However, NFT art has also drawn heavy criticism, given the enormous energy costs involved in generating these unique tokens and the resulting environmental impact.

MIND MGMT: The Artifact is currently up for bidding, with the auction set to close on March 31.

Even if The Artifact remains locked away for eternity, there is hope the series will continue in other forms. 20th Century Fox acquired the MIND MGMT film rights in 2013, with Ridley Scott attached to produce. More recently, Universal announced a MIND MGMT TV series, with Dexter’s David Cerrone serving as showrunner. It’s unclear whether either project is still in active development.

Whatever the future holds for this particular franchise, Kindt remains hard at work on BRZRKR, the violent action/fantasy comic co-written by Keanu Reeves.

If you’ve been following along with all of the Anomaly challenges through Fortnite Season 6, you should already have unlocked four alternate styles for Agent Jones. Now it’s time for the last one, presumably of the entire season. For this, you need to investigate an anomaly in Weeping Woods. Here’s what you need to know so you can finish off your Agent Jones wardrobe.

Investigate an Anomaly in Weeping Woods

First you’ll want to drop into Weeping Woods, of course. You must be at least tier level 76 if you’re going for this challenge, so you probably know the Fortnite map like your own neighborhood, but just in case you forget, Weeping Woods is the campground and forestry area southwest of The Spire at the center.

Once you land, head for the mini-Spire located precisely where you see us on the map above. At ground level, it will look like this:

As you approach, the Anomaly will spawn and start to move up the small Spire. Like you did in a previous Anomaly challenge, stay right behind it. It’s once again quite forgiving so you aren’t likely to lose up running up the monolith. When it reaches the top it will head into the open air and perform a brief flourish. You may think you need to use the launch pad up here, but don’t do it. It will throw you the wrong way.

Instead, watch as it freezes in air, waiting for you to grab it. Build over to it using two ramp pieces, press the interact button, and the challenge is complete.

By completing it, you’ll unlock the Agent Jones (Jump 88) Style, which decks out our bumbling hero in a cool new cloak. This is the final Anomaly, but if you missed any earlier, we’ve got you covered. Here are the rest of the Anomaly challenges in Season 6:

A new gameplay trailer is now available for MLB The Show 21, showcasing some very impressive-looking visuals and teasing the return of MLB legend Roberto Clemente.

The video shows off a number of MLB superstars, including cover star Fernando Tatis Jr., along with numerous different parks and gameplay scenarios. The takeaway here is that MLB The Show 21 is looking very good, and the game promises 4K/60FPS as well which you can see if you have a supported screen. Be sure to stick through the video until the end, as it teases the arrival of the late Roberto Clemente, the Hall of Famer who played for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

The new video also briefly shows off MLB The Show 21’s park-creator mode, which is exclusive to next-gen. As you can see in the video, it allows you to create all different types of parks, even fantastical ones. Check out our previous coverage of MLB The Show 21 to learn more about what you can make, including the Field of Dreams.

MLB The Show 21 launches on April 20 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, as well as PS4 and Xbox One, though people who buy a more expensive edition can start playing four days early.

MLB The Show 21 is the first game in the series to be released on Xbox consoles thanks to an expanded agreement between PlayStation Studios and Major League Baseball. A Jackie Robinson edition of the game will be available, and a portion of game sales will go to the Jackie Robinson Foundation.

Tekken 7’s latest addition to its roster might be its strangest one yet, which is saying something in a game that features killer CEOs, Lucha libre wrestlers, and actual demons. The previously-revealed Polish prime minister Lidia Sobieska will be added to the game as part of Tekken 7’s Season 4 pass on March 23, and her martial art of choice is Karate. You can see her practice those chops and kicks in her debut trailer below:

Lidia’s involvement in the King of Iron Fist tournament comes from a desire to end the turbulence affecting Poland, which has been caused by Tekken antagonist Heihachi Mishima’s corporation.

“Lidia has always been an upright and resolute woman. She believes that justice requires absolute power, which is why she has shown great interest in karate from a very young age,” Bandai Namco’s official bio for Lidia reads. “The loss of her father stoked her interest in the family tradition of politics. Lidia showed great qualities in both areas, entering and winning her first karate world championship at 18, and more recently being one of the youngest rising stars in the Polish political arena. The war started by the Mishima Zaibatsu is greatly affecting Poland and she is committed to settle the situation with her own fists.”

Season 4 of Tekken 7 also adds Kunimitsu as a DLC character for Tekken 7 and a new stage called Vermilion Gates, which will arrive this fall. The new season will also include new moves, an updated user interface, online play enhancement, rank system renewal, and a new indicator of a player’s total strength and skill called Tekken prowess.

All of this will cost you $15, but if you’d prefer to purchase an individual character instead, that option is available with each additional brawler usually costing around $6.

Tekken 7 Season Pass 4

Tekken 7 will still be one of the big games to watch at this August’s Evolution Fighting Games Tournament, which Sony recently acquired. As for Tekken boss Katsuhiro Harada, he recently started a new side-gig where he both runs a bar and interviews famous guests for his new YouTube channel.

Highlights of that first interview with the father of PlayStation, Ken Kutaragi, include Harada’s bewilderment at Microsoft not bringing a cask of sake to the Tekken offices and Kutaragi explaining how PlayStation Japan’s headquarters was chosen based on which bars were nearby.

It seems that Battlefield 2021 might be revealed this May, according to a reliable source on these matters. GamesBeat reporter and frequent newsbreaker Jeff Grubb said on a recent podcast that the next entry in the Battlefield series–why may or may not be Battlefield 6–will likely be revealed in May 2021, though he says it’s not a sure thing.

On the GamesBeat Decides podcast, in response to a fan asking when the next Battlefield game will be shown, Grubb instantly responded with one word: “May.” When pressed by his cohosts, Grubb “added some color” in his own words to his initial claim, stating that it’s “probably May.” “Things are still fluid,” the reporter said. “They haven’t announced anything publicly yet, but my understanding is they’re probably looking at May.”

As usual with these sort of pronouncements, it’s best to treat this as an unverified rumor until proven otherwise. Grubb’s predictions are generally fairly accurate, but there’s still been no official word from publisher EA on when the next game in the series will be revealed, although it previously stated that a next-gen Battlefield game will launch this holiday season. If the game is releasing this year, you would generally expect the game to be revealed around June, which is when E3 usually takes place. However, we don’t yet know what EA’s plans for its usual EA Play event are. Grubb has recently made newsworthy claims about other unreleased games, like Elden Ring and Starfield, saying that the latter game is likely to be revealed this summer.

An EA representative also stated that the next entry in the series will focus on ambitious ideas that are only possible on next-gen hardware. Grubb has previously suggested that the next Battlefield game will take place in the modern day, but it’s still unclear if this is accurate.
