The news comes as cinemas begin to close around the world and the entertainment industry continues to wrestle with the ramifications of the global covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.

The decision from Warner Bros. to bump up Birds of Prey’s home release follows word from Universal Studios that several of its films that are currently in the middle of their theatrical runs would become available digitally as early as Friday, March 20.

Earlier today Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan claimed via Twitter she would not be opposed to the idea of making Birds of Prey available on VOD faster than intended.

While the spread of covid-19 has resulted in a huge number of release delays and stalled productions, more importantly there are number of things you can do to stay safe during this pandemic.

Untitled Goose Game made a huge impact in 2019, selling over 1 million copies and turning the goose into a pop culture icon. Fans might have finished the game long ago, but those who still have the soundtrack stuck in their heads will soon be able to take it with them everywhere, as it’s set to receive a digital release.

The soundtrack, which will release through Decca Classics, will feature composer Dan Golding’s adapted tunes from Claude Debussy’s Préludes, which is made up of high and low energy versions of each track that the game dynamically switches between depending on your actions.

The album will also feature original music composed by Golding when it releases digitally on March 27, 2020. The release will be digital-only, although Universal Music Australia has told GameSpot that a vinyl release is “in discussion.”

The album’s cover art is below. Honk!

Untitled Goose Game received an 8/10 in GameSpot’s review, which praised the game’s soundtrack: “But the reactive soundtrack is what really sells the goose’s charms. The music, based on Claude Debussy’s Préludes, springs into action dynamically based on the goose’s actions, punctuating moments when it shocks someone and adding a buoyancy to any scene involving a chase. It gives the game a feeling of farce; at its best, it’s reminiscent of a Buster Keaton film, especially since there’s no dialogue.”

Call of Duty: Warzone is getting a new paid microtransaction bundles themed around St. Patrick’s Day. The first of these is the “Clover and Out” bundle, which includes a variety of themed items.

Included in the bundle is a new operator skin and blueprints for unique weapons called “Wish Me Luck” and “Top O’ The Mornin’.” Additionally, there is a new weapon charm called “Stout” that is clearly a reference to Guinness, and a “Pot of Gold” charm. On top of this, there is a new sticker called “Shamrock and Roll.” The “Clover and Out” bundle is priced at 1,100 Call of Duty Points.

A second bundle is called the Tracer Pack Green Bundle, and it includes special tracer rounds that are green. The pack also comes with the Snap Dragon and Gangrene weapon blueprints, as well as a Leprechaun charm and an “Uplinked” calling card. This bundle sells for 1600 Call of Duty Points.

Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare share the same store and both games feature cross-progression, so buying any of this DLC for one game also applies to the other.

In other news, Call of Duty: Warzone recently surpassed 15 million players in under a week, making it one of fastest starts ever for a battle royale game.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is right around the corner, but there’s still plenty we haven’t seen from the new game, with most footage released so far focusing on the earliest parts of the game. Now, in the first episode of this new documentary series about the making of the game, we’ve seen new areas and scenes–and it looks glorious.

The video, Inside Final Fantasy VII Remake – Episode 1: Introduction, is embedded below. In contains insights from many of the designers who worked on the game, but make sure that you turn on closed captions if you don’t speak Japanese.

This video comes alongside several new screenshots, which are also worth looking at–but seeing the game in action is even more impressive.

According to Yoshinori Kitase, the game’s producer, he decided to remake Final Fantasy VII after the series’ 25th anniversary exhibition, after thinking long and hard about what he could do with the series “in the time he had left”. He settled on remaking this game because it had “always been in the back of (his) mind.”

The video shows plenty of new footage from around Midgar, including Cloud dancing at the Honey Bee. We’ll see more of the upper city, too, whereas most of the original game’s opening 10 hours were set in the slums of Midgar. According to Tetsuya Nomura, the game’s director, the game has been dramatically expanded: “You can’t go everywehere in the city, but the area you can walk around in has been expanded a lot, and the citizens and characters that appear are depicted in much more detail.”

New music arrangements and completely new themes have been added to the game too, which has caused some pressure due to how iconic the original game’s music was, especially when coupled with the new game featuring voice acting. Composer Mitsuto Suzuki also says that the game incorporates dynamic music that changes depending on your actions.

This first part of Final Fantasy VII Remake will end with the group escaping the city, and the video reiterates that it’ll be as long as a traditional Final Fantasy experience. There’s plenty more in the video, including some enemy designs we haven’t seen before and plenty of battle footage.

The video even features some neat comparison shots between the Remake and Final Fantasy VII Advent Children–Remake undoubtedly looks better.

Final Fantasy VII Remake releases for PlayStation 4 on April 10, and a demo is now available. For more, check out our hands-on report with the game.

The name Liao has been present in Overwatch lore since 2016, leading to much speculation about who the sixth Overwatch founder is. A tweet from the official Overwatch account has broadcast a screenshot of the “Personal Log of Dr. Mina Liao”–finally giving the character a full name.

From the log, we can now gather that Mina Liao is an artificial intelligence researcher who worked on the Athena prototype.

Earlier this year, Overwatch lead writer Michael Chu tweeted a response to a fan’s questions about Liao, stating that they were “definitely still an important character.”

For years Liao’s gender was unknown, and for some time the character was assumed to be an unidentified male character in an artwork tied to Ana’s release. It’s still possible that the unidentified white-haired woman on the cover of the cancelled Overwatch graphic novel First Strike could have been Mina Liao.

While this teaser could just be an expansion of the game’s lore, it’s likely that the cryptic tweet is leading towards the release of a new hero. Fans have speculated that it’s most likely to be Echo, a robotic character who was first teased over a year ago. It’s possible that Dr. Mina Liao could be a playable character herself, however.

Blizzard is currently in development on Overwatch 2, which is still without a release date but will come to PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One when it’s ready. It’s unclear whether Overwatch will release any new content for the base game before the sequel is released.
