Harrison Ford Has Been Cleared To Fly Again, For Now

Everyone’s favorite spaceship pilot slash real-life aviation enthusiast Harrison Ford has been given the all-clear by the FAA the Federal Aviation Administration) to get flying again, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The decision comes after Ford ran into some trouble back in April for mistakenly crossing a runway in his small personal aircraft while another airplane was departing from the same runway at Hawthorne Airport in Los Angeles–though there was no danger of a crash.

“Ford’s Aviat A-1C Husky crossed the western end of the runaway while another aircraft was taking off approximately 3,600 feet to the east,” according to THR.

He’ll be required to take a remedial “runway incursion training course” which is the airplane version of your basic driver’s ed class, but you can take it online.

This is actually the latest in a long line of Ford’s aviation misadventures. He’s been causing all sorts of chaos in the Southern Californian skies, including a mis-handled landing at John Wayne airport back in 2017, and a crash landing on a golf course that caused him some injuries and hospitalization back in 2015. If anything, we admire his willingness to keep getting back in the saddle.

No fines or penalties are being issued for the breach of rules this time. A representative for Ford explained that “The purpose of the flight was to maintain currency and proficiency in the aircraft. No one was injured and there was never any danger of a collision.”

Life Is Strange Dev Dontnod Opens New Studio To Work On “Brand-New IP”

Life is Strange developer Dontnod Entertainment has announced that it has opened a new Montréal-based studio to, according to a press release, “work on a brand-new IP.” The new studio will be led by executive producer Luc Baghadoust and creative director Michel Koch.

“With the formation of a new team on another continent, we are writing a new page of Dontnod’s history,” Koch said. “It’s also a new beginning for new characters and original stories that we hope will touch and inspire many players around the world.”

In collaboration with Investissement Québec, Montréal International assisted Dontnod in opening its new studio. “Montréal is recognized as one of the five largest video game production centers in the world,” Montréal International president and CEO Stéphane Paquet said. “We are convinced that the creativity of Montréal talent combined with that of the Dontnod team will result in remarkable projects.”

Dontnod Entertainment is quickly becoming a celebrated voice for representation in the gaming industry with titles like Life is Strange 2 and Tell Me Why–though it would be understandable to see some fans be a bit disappointed that this new studio is working on a brand-new IP as opposed to working on an existing one. With both the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 set to release this year, Dontnod has gone an entire console generation without making a follow-up to its 2013 debut title, Remember Me, which quite a few people have been clamoring for. Though maybe this new studio is working on a new IP so that Dontnod can begin working on that sequel. We’ll have to wait and see.

How To Play Among Us For Free

Among Us is a popular party game that supports 4-10 players in both local and online multiplayer. Its massive spike in popularity was driven in part by streamers, but also its relative accessibility (with easy crossplay support) and social elements. You’ve no doubt had friends or family asking you to pick up a copy and play with them in the past few months. If the $5 price tag on its PC version has been holding you back, there’s a way to play it for free: just pick it up on mobile. However, there are some extra things to be aware of.

Is Among Us Free to Play?

At the moment, Among Us costs $5 to play on PC via Steam or itch.io, but you can play it for free if you have an iOS or Android device. That’s right–Among Us is free on mobile! You can download it from either the App Store or Google Play.

The free version of Among Us is currently supported by ads, so you must take that into account if you’re playing on mobile.

How to Play Among Us Without Ads

Once you download and launch Among Us on your mobile device, you’ll see a prompt explaining its use of AdMob and data collection. The only way to turn ads and data collection off is to purchase the $1.99 ad-free version, which you can do by tapping “Remove Ads.” Another box showing all the game’s microtransactions will pop up. From here, tap “Remove All Ads” at the very top (if it isn’t already selected), then “Remove All Ads” again on the bottom left. You will then be prompted to select your payment method if you don’t already have one setup by default.

Can You Play Among Us For Free Without Ads?

At the moment, the only way to play Among Us for free and without ads is if the host of your match has purchased the $1.99 ad-free option. That means if you choose to purchase the $1.99 ad-free upgrade, the game will be ad-free for you and your friends whenever you host a game for them. So somebody in your group has to pay up eventually for a complete ad-free experience on mobile.

Does Among Us Have Microtransactions?

Yes, Among Us has microtransactions. You can purchase pets, skins, and hats, all cosmetic items that don’t affect the gameplay at all. A few of these options will be free, but you will have to pay additional money if you want access to more or all of the available cosmetic DLC, even in the paid version on PC. None of the microtransactions affect gameplay.

The recently announced Among Us 2 was canceled so the developers could spend more time working on the current version due to its explosion in popularity. Many players are hoping for a PS4 or Xbox port of Among Us, which may be a more complicated ask than fans realize, according to the developer.

Fortnite Wolverine Guide: Where To Find The Trask Transport Truck (Week 5)

Fortnite Week 5 challenges are here and that means another Wolverine task is available to complete. This week’s challenges ask you to locate a Trask Transport Truck. It’s easy enough to find, but isn’t near a named location. This guide will show you where to find the truck so you can land there and collect the reward with ease.

The Wolverine challenges are separate from the rest of the Season 4 battle pass. You still need to purchase it to participate, but the rewards won’t come as you level up. They’ll come with one-off challenges like this one similar to how Aquaman worked last season.

Where Is The Trask Transport Truck Located?

Trask Transport Truck Location
Trask Transport Truck Location

The Trask Transport Truck is located in the C1 tile of the map. It’s on top of another chunk of earth, like the Black Panther Statue, surrounded by a house and several trees. All you need to do is walk up to it to complete the challenge. There is a gold XP coin located in the truck’s cargo haul, as well. Be sure to collect that when you visit.

The Trask name is a reference to Boliviar Trask, a supervillain from the Marvel comics. His company, Trask Industries, is known for creating the Sentinels (mutant hunting robots) that we see near Lazy Lake on the map. This could be a hinting that the robots in the Sentinel Graveyard may come to life for an in-game event later in the season.

Wolverine is also now present in Fortnite as well–players can head to Weeping Woods to try and fight him. If they succeed they’ll get to use his claws. Similar to Doom’s Gauntlets and other legendary items, his claws give players the ability to deal lot of close-range damage by slashing through enemies.

What Do I Get For Locating The Trask Transport Truck?

You’ll get a new glider variant for the MCG glider. It shows an image of Wolverine on an LCD-like screen. Be sure to keep up with all the weekly Fortnite Wolverine challenges in order to unlock other goodies.

NXT’s Tyler Breeze, WWE 2K BattleGrounds, And More | Wrestle Buddies Episode

This week on Wrestle Buddies, GameSpot’s professional wrestling podcast, Chris E. Hayner and Mat Elfring have a new video game to obsess over. WWE 2K Battlegrounds is trying to make us forget about the debacle that was WWE 2K20. We also welcome one half of the NXT Tag Team Champions to the show for a wide-ranging discussion.

After spending a few days playing the new WWE 2K Battlegrounds game, Mat and Chris have some thoughts to share about the latest title from 2K. It’s far from a perfect game but is the closest WWE has come to its own version of Super Smash Bros. However, we have many thoughts on how it should be improved with post-release content.

No Caption Provided

Then, Tyler Breeze, otherwise known as one half of NXT Tag Team Champions Breezango–and the reigning Left Right Left Right Champion–joins us to talk wrestling, winning his first championship, the ridiculous costumes he and Fandango wear, and getting to be part of Xavier Woods’ Up Up Down Down gaming channel. It just so happens that Breeze is one of Chris and Mat’s favorite wrestlers on any current roster, so this ended up being an interview you’re not going to want to miss.

All that plus we answer your questions! New episodes of Wrestle Buddies are released every Thursday on the podcast platform or app of your choice, including Spotify, Stitcher, and Apple Podcasts.

New GigaBash Character Pays Tribute to Japanese Hero Series

GigaBash, the B-movie styled 4-player arena brawler in which giant kaiju, monsters and ranger heroes cause merry mayhem as they battle for supremacy, revealed a new character ahead of Tokyo Game Show 2020: Gigaman. A new stage, Siberia, was also unveiled.

Now, IGN has an exclusive 17-minute gameplay video showing the new character in action in five matches, along with recently unveiled new monster Skorak and stages including Sibera, Hawaii and Tokyo. Check it out below:

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/24/exclusive-17-minutes-of-gigabash-gameplay-with-new-character-gigaman”]

Power-suited hero Gigaman is a homage to Japan’s tokusatsu effects series, firing laser-based projectile attacks with his Giga Beam that ricochet around corners and aerial boost attacks in addition to fighting with his fists. As a limited special move, he can target and fire a powerful volley of lasers that burns a “G”-shaped emblem into the ground, for an extra adorable touch of collateral damage. His suit is blue by default but several color skins are available, as shown in the gameplay video.

According to the character’s profile, he is a once-mighty hero who has emerged from retirement to kick kaiju keister. Although he has seen better days, he has managed to retain his acrobatic skills, pulling off cartwheels, flying kicks, dive kicks, somersaults and tornado kicks.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/23/gigabash-gigaman-character-reveal-trailer-tgs-2020″]

The press release accompanying his unveiling says “Gigaman is ideal for players looking for a high mobility type, fast-paced, combo-oriented character. His core mechanics require mastery in spacing and precise timing in each attack. In the right hands, Gigaman can overwhelm his foes in an unending string of air juggles and combos, perfect for players who prefer to beat their opponents with style points.”

The Siberia map is a snow-covered industrial complex of factory buildings, most of which are destructible. The gigantic statue of a pickaxe-wielding worker at its center can be toppled during play, to launch a missile from the silo hidden within and damage your foes.

Developed by Malaysia’s Passion Republic Game, GigaBash will feature 1-vs-all battles as well as team battles among other modes when it is released on PlayStation 4 and PC in 2021. For more information, check out GigaBash’s website, Twitter account or Discord server.

Tokyo Game Show 2020 is taking place 24-27 September as an online-only event. IGN will be covering the show in collaboration with our Tokyo-based team at IGN Japan, so stay tuned for much more.

The Medium: Exclusive New Trailer Introduces Main Characters

IGN is happy to exclusively show off a new trailer for The Medium, which reveals a little more about the upcoming next-gen horror game’s story, and helps introduce two of its key characters, the mysterious Sadness, and Troy Baker’s antagonist, The Maw.

Revealed as part of Tokyo Game Show, the trailer shows us lead character Marianne across both of the realities she can perceive, introducing The Maw, and talking about the stalking entity with Sadness, “a mysterious masked girl who resides at the abandoned Niwa Hotel.”

Check out the trailer below:

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/24/the-medium-official-story-trailer”]

We also have some brand new concept art to exclusively show off (click to enlarge), showing Marianne, “as she readies her psychic energy against the backdrop of the material world and the spirit world”:

The Medium – which arrives for Xbox Series X & S, and PC via Steam this holiday – comes from Bloober Team, the horror-focused studio behind Layers of Fear, Observer, and Blair Witch.

It will use next-gen power to render two separate worlds simultaneously, with players forced to solve puzzles and overcome challenges in both to proceed – all while avoiding The Maw. Storied voice actor Troy Baker has described his villain as “something I’ve never done before”, and even gave a brief demonstration of how he performs The Maw’s voice for us during Gamescom 2020.

The Medium is just one of two Bloober Team games coming to next-gen this year, with Observer: System Redux also arriving on launch day.
