FIFA 21 Adds Dua Lipa, Patrick Mahomes To Volta Mode In December

FIFA 21 is adding a number of celebrities and professional athletes who don’t play soccer/football to the game as playable characters, including singer Dua Lipa and superstar NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

They will join NBA stars Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid, along with Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton as new playable characters for FIFA 21’s Volta mode. Retired soccer superstar Zinedine Zidane is also coming to the game.

Dua Lipa said in a statement, “My little brother’s a huge FIFA fan so to be featured as a playable character on top of that is crazy and I hope he puts me on his Volta team!”

She added, “It’s particularly cool the game includes a female music artist avatar for the first time and I can’t wait for the women to show the men what we’ve got!”

No Caption Provided

Embiid said with confidence, “I’m the best football player and fan in the NBA, so to be able to say that I’m actually in FIFA just proves that.”

As for Hamilton, he said he enjoys playing FIFA to unwind, and he’s stoked to be included in FIFA 21 as a playable character. “To be a part of this year’s game alongside some of the other names from different sports is amazing,” he said.

These new celebrity characters are coming to FIFA 21 in December, coinciding with the game’s release on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

FIFA 21 Is Down To $27 In Early Black Friday Deal

FIFA 21 is the latest in EA’s long-running soccer (or “football”) franchise, and you can take to the pitch at more than half-off this year thanks to Black Friday 2020. This year’s edition includes a reworked collision system, more intelligent AI players, and the return of the street soccer Volta mode.

Best Deal: $27 at GameStop | available now

The best deal for FIFA 21 this Black Friday is at GameStop, which has both the PS4 and Xbox One versions for $27. Or, if you’re willing to pay just a buck more, you can get it for $28 at Best Buy right now. Walmart will have it for $28 starting Wednesday.

The Black Friday FIFA 21 deals are available for both Xbox One and PS4. The PS5 with a disc drive and Xbox Series X can play the discs as well, and free next-gen upgrades will be available starting on December 4.

“This is a substantial package that’s propped up by exciting gameplay that puts the onus squarely on attacking football,” Richard Wakeling wrote in GameSpot’s FIFA 21 review. “There are moments of frustration on defense when the balance doesn’t feel quite right, but then you’ll go down the other end and score a Puskás Award contender that makes you forget why you were mad in the first place.”

We’ll be covering Black Friday 2020 news and deals from now through Thanksgiving weekend, so stick around. Be sure to give a look to our roundup of the best Black Friday gaming deals available this year, including the best deals for Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, and Xbox One/Series X.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Patch Notes (November 23)

A new update is out now for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and while it doesn’t contain any weapon buffs or nerfs, the patch makes a few changes related to spawning, perks, and the Zombies mode.

For multiplayer, spawns have been adjusted for the Hardpoint mode to reduce the amount of time it takes to reach the Hardpoints. Additionally, the spawns on Crossroads Strike and Armada Strike have been adjusted for better performance.

The new Black Ops Cold War update also fixes an issue that could stop the Flak Jacket perk from being useful against explosive damage in Hardcore modes.

Moving to Zombies, the new update fixes an issue with field upgrades, while it makes some changes to the zombies themselves. In one case, a rare issue was causing a zombie to become permanently invincible, but that is now fixed. Finally, the Zombies mode has received some tweaks to make the experience more stable.

You can see the full patch notes below, as posted by Treyarch on their website. This newest update arrives less than a day before the fan-favorite Nuketown map comes to Black Ops Cold War through a new version called Nuketown ’84. The map arrives at 10 AM PT on November 24, but you can start enjoying double XP right now.

If Gremlins 3 Happens, It’ll Be Done Right, Original Writer Insists

With so many popular ’80s entertainment franchises enjoying either revivals or an uninterrupted and long, healthy life in the decades since, one noticeably absent omission has been Gremlins. If for whatever reason you haven’t seen the original 1984 film and its 1990 sequel, here’s a quick recap: They were amazing comedy-horror films about the strange little titular creatures that could be owned as pets, with the caveat that you follow a bunch of rules so they don’t turn into vicious monsters. If you haven’t seen the first one, you can watch it on Prime Video; this Key & Peele sketch should be watched before you embark on the sequel.

Looks like all that’s finally about to change. Fast-forward to 2020, and there’s an animated prequel series in the works and also still talk of a third sequel. Some pretty major news has just come out via Collider, who asked original Gremlins writer Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone) what is going on with the third one–and there is reason to rejoice, as it still sounds likely.

“I would love to do it. I wrote a script, so there is an existing script,” said Columbus. “I would still do it the same way–I would do it as tangible puppets, not CGI.”

Columbus added that aside from the pandemic, the only delay is working out “some rights issues.” But if we are hearing about a specific creative vision governing production choices on a potential sequel–it’s a good sign things may hopefully be closer than they have felt over the last 30 years to see more Gremlins. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but already something to be thankful for this week.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: 9 Secrets You Missed

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is the latest in Ubisoft’s open world action franchise, and just like Odyssey and Origins before it, it’s a huge game that’s filled to the brim with quests, epic boss fights, and hidden secrets to find. However, a lot of its coolest side quests don’t appear in your quest log to track, instead putting it on the player to find the locations of these in a more organic way.

For those that just want to skip to the good stuff, the above video will show you nine of the coolest secrets in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, including how to kick off multi-part quests to get incredible legendary weapons and armor, how to deck out your settlement, as well as how to find some tough boss fights that yield exceptional rewards.

For more on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, we’ve got you covered with beginner’s tips and graphics comparisons between current and next gen versions of the game, as well as comparing the PS5 version to the Xbox Series X one.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Launching Nuketown ’84 Map Alongside Double XP Event

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War just launched, and it will soon be reintroducing the fan-favorite Black ops map Nuketown called Nuketown ’84. If that isn’t enough incentive to play a ton of Cold War this weekend, Activision is sweetening the pot by offering double XP as well.

Nuketown ’84 launches on November 24, and it will be free for all users. The Double XP event is already live ahead of the Nuketown ’84 launch, offering both 2XP and 2X Weapon XP. Double XP will last through November 30, so you have plenty of time to rack up experience while trying the new version of a classic.

You can also claim a Nuketown-themed weapons pack for free simply by logging in before December 3. That pack includes a “Last Stop” shotgun blueprint, weapon charms, an emblem, and a calling card.

“It’s reasonable to expect updates to Cold War at a steady clip. Weapons will be tweaked, issues will be patched, and gameplay will be balanced,” Kallie Plagge wrote in GameSpot’s Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War review. “Zombies has a strong foundation and may very well be improved further by potential updates, but the gap between multiplayer and the Warzone ecosystem is too wide to be bridged by small tweaks. Zombies is a good co-op time overall, but multiplayer falls flat, leaving the strong campaign to do most of the heavy lifting.”

Doctor Who Holiday Special Will See The Return Of Everyone’s Favorite Captain

The COVID-19 pandemic might have delayed the next season of long-running sci-fi adventure Doctor Who, but it doesn’t mean fans will miss out on the show’s annual Holiday episode. This year’s seasonal special arrives next month, and it’s been confirmed that fan favorite character Captain Jack Harkness will appear in the episode.

The news comes via a first teaser for the episode, which is titled Revolution of the Daleks. The promo opens with the familiar sound of the TARDIS, before cutting to Harkness, played by John Barrowman, who states “I’ve missed that sound.” Check the teaser out below:

The Doctor is currently played by Jodie Whittaker, who took over from Peter Capaldi in 2017, and has so far starred in two seasons. After debuting in the main show, Barrowman played Harkness in the spin-off series Torchwood, which ran from 2006 to 2011 and returned to play the adventurer in the Doctor Who Season 12 episode “Fugitive of the Judoon,” which screened in January. The Holiday episode will air on BBC America, but doesn’t have a confirmed premiere date yet.

In a statement, Barrowman said, “Putting on Jack’s coat and setting foot back on the set of Doctor Who was just like going back home. It’s always thrilling to play Captain Jack. He’s a character very close to my heart who changed my life, and to know the fans love him as much as I do makes his return even sweeter. I hope everyone enjoys Jack’s heroic adventure with Thirteen.”

Production on Doctor Who Season 13 started earlier this month. However, due to the safety precautions in place, showrunner Chris Chibnall stated the next season will only have 8 episodes instead of the usual 11.
