The Steam Lunar New Year sale kicked off earlier today, and now Green Man Gaming has kicked off its days of PC game deals. GMG’s Lunar New Year sale lasts until February 3. In addition to the large selection of discounts, the retailer plans to offer a new flash deal every two days, the first of which is 25% off a Resident Evil 3 pre-order.

In addition to the Resident Evil 3 flash deal, there are over 1,000 PC games on sale, including some of the best of recent years. GameSpot’s 2018 Game of the Year Red Dead Redemption 2 released on PC last year and sees great discounts on its various editions. The Standard, Special, and Ultimate editions are very close in price right now, so you’ll be able to grab all of the extra missions, items, and bonuses–including for Red Dead Online–for a couple dollars more.

Capcom and 2K also feature in GMG’s Lunar New Year sale with discounts on games like Borderlands 3, Resident Evil 2, and Devil May Cry 5, in addition to NBA 2K20, Resident Evil 7, and Monster Hunter World.

Quite a few Ubisoft games are also on sale, including Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Far Cry 5, Far Cry New Dawn, and Ghost Recon Wildlands. The popular multiplayer shooter Rainbow Six Siege also sees discounts on all four of its editions: Standard, Deluxe, Gold, and Ultimate. If you’re just starting out, the best deal is definitely the Deluxe edition, which gets you all of the base game’s operators, in addition to the Year 1 DLC characters.

We’ve compiled a selection of the best PC game deals, and you can see our choices in the list below.

If you could use a boost to get started on an exercise routine, buying a fitness tracker is a great first step. These devices can keep track of how many steps you take, how many calories you burn, how well you sleep, and more. And while the price of the higher-end ones might put you off, our favorite cheap fitness tracker, the Fitbit Inspire HR, is on sale for 30% off at Amazon. It’s the online retailer’s Deal of the Day, which means the price goes back up at midnight.

Fitbit Inspire HR Is 30% Off

• Get it at Amazon – $69.95 (was $99.95)
• Also available in white or purple

Not as bulky or expensive as a smartwatch, the Fitbit Inspire HR is a light, unobtrusive wristband that offers more features than most other fitness trackers in its price range. The biggest selling point is that it monitors your heart rate all day and night so it can keep better track of how many calories you burn, as well as how long you spend in the various stages of sleep.

The Fitbit Inspire HR is waterproof, so you can wear it while swimming. It tracks all of your workouts, whether you’re walking, running, swimming, or bike riding. Unlike a smartwatch, it can go up to five days between charges. It comes in black, white, or lilac, but you can swap out the band with a wide array of third-party options.

[poilib element=”commerceCta” json=”%7B%22image%22%3A%7B%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.ignimgs.com%2F2020%2F01%2F23%2Fbands1579804430163.jpg%22%2C%22styleUrl%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.ignimgs.com%2F2020%2F01%2F23%2Fbands1579804430163_%7Bsize%7D.jpg%22%2C%22id%22%3A%225e29e721e4b0e6d43845e22e%22%7D%2C%22url%22%3A%22http%3A%2F%2Fr.zdbb.net%2Fu%2Fbm1t%22%2C%22title%22%3A%22See%20Fitbit%20Bands%22%2C%22store%22%3A%22Amazon%22%2C%22additionalInfo%22%3A%22%22%2C%22ourPick%22%3Afalse%7D”]

On top of that, it pairs with a great smartphone app that displays all of your fitness data in ways that are easy to understand at a glance. And since it’s a Fitbit, you’ll also have access to one of the most active fitness communities around.

Basically, if you’re interested in an affordable fitness tracker, this deal is the best around. Just don’t wait too long, because the deal ends tonight.

February may be the shortest month of the year, but Netflix will have plenty of buzzy movies and TV series to keep you occupied.

To get things started, the streamer is releasing several high-profile original series, including the long-awaited return of Altered Carbon’s second season, Narcos Mexico: Season 2, and the premiere of Netflix’s new psychological-horror series, Locke & Key. Here’s how the streamer describes the show:

“After their father is murdered under mysterious circumstances, the three Locke siblings and their mother move into their ancestral home, Keyhouse, which they discover is full of magical keys that may be connected to their father’s death. As the Locke children explore the different keys and their unique powers, a mysterious demon awakens — and will stop at nothing to steal them.”

On the movie front, you can watch the cult sci-fi classic Starship Troopers, all seven Police Academy movies, the original Blade Runner, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

David Griffin still watches DuckTales in his pajamas with a cereal bowl in hand. He’s also the TV Editor for IGN. Say hi on Twitter.

UPDATE: Colin Farrell also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week, during which time he said of his role as the Penguin in The Batman that “we are still in the process of just finishing the design, the aesthetic of the character.”

Farrell said he begins filming three weeks — he had told Ellen DeGeneres in the story below that he begins filming in two weeks — and praised filmmaker Matt Reeves’ screenplay for The Batman, deeming it “a really, really beautiful, dark, moving script, really gorgeous.”

Our original report from Jan. 22nd follows.

[poilib element=”accentDivider”]

The internet was abuzz recently when photos of Colin Farrell sporting silvery grey hair surfaced online, leading many to suspect that’s what Farrell might look like as the Penguin in The Batman. As it turns out, Farrell hasn’t even started filming The Batman yet and has already dyed his hair dark since those paparazzi photos went viral.

Farrell appeared on Ellen on Wednesday where he said he recently finished filming a BBC movie in the Arctic, which is reportedly called The North Water. He explained the silvery hair was simply him trying out a new hair color after wrapping the BBC film and that he’d gone through a few other colors before dyeing his hair back to its normal dark color after those photos came out.

It appears Farrell gained weight for the BBC film, judging by the personal videos he showed DeGeneres from the set.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-batman-cast-every-actor-and-character&captions=true”]

Farrell revealed that he’s headed to London in two weeks to start filming The Batman. He referred to his role as “Oz Cobblepot, I’m playing a character known as the Penguin.”

We can assume that wasn’t Farrell simply shortening Oswald Cobblepot’s name as director Matt Reeves recently tweeted Farrell’s casting with the hashtag #Oz so it appears that’s how the iconic DC Comics supervillain will be referred to in the movie.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/10/19/ranking-the-batman-movie-villains”]

Colin Farrell’s latest film, The Gentlemen, opens in North America this weekend. We weren’t fans, saying in our Gentlemen review that “there’s no high to be found from this new Guy Ritchie joint.”

The Sonic the Hedgehog movie is tracking to open to over $40 million during Presidents’ Day weekend.

The Hollywood Reporter is expecting a four-day opening of $40 million to $45 million, while Deadline is pushing it a bit further to a potential $47 million. That’s not a bad start considering the movie has an estimated production budget of $95 million.

It’s also worth mentioning that video game movies have a history of making most of their money outside of America and Canada. According to The Numbers, movies like Tomb Raider, Assassin’s Creed, Rampage and Need for Speed have had over 75% of their box office come from international territories. The best comparison for Sonic is Detective Pikachu and the Angry Birds movies. Those PG-rated video game movies had about 2/3 of their box office come from foreign markets. If Sonic follows either of these trends, then this troubled production might end up as a success.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/16/5-things-from-the-sonic-games-we-want-in-the-sonic-the-hedgehog-movie”]

The initial Sonic trailer sparked outcry that led to a drastic redesign of the CGI model for Sonic. The second trailer, and the first featuring the redesign, had the highest “like-to-dislike ratio” for any official movie trailer on Google in three years, according to the report from Deadline.

The movie stars Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation) as the voice of Sonic with Jim Carrey (Dumb and Dumber) as his nemesis Dr. Robotnik. The movie will open in theaters alongside the Will Ferrell-Julia Louis Dreyfus movie Downhill, horror movie Fantasy Island, the Issa Rae-Lakeith Stanfield drama The Photograph, and the romance film What About Love.

As for the rest of 2020, a Monster Hunter movie is coming to theaters on September 4 from the director and star of the Resident Evil movies. An Uncharted movie was scheduled for December 18, but that long-delayed movie was taken off the release date. Sony supposedly wants the director of Venom to hop on board, but no negotiations have taken place.

Apex Legends’ Season 4 will begin on February 4, 2020, and with it comes a brand new charismatic Legend named Forge.

This newest season is titled Assimilation and also arrives with a new Battle Pass, a new bolt-action sniper rifle with a charge mechanic called the Sentinel, and changes to Ranked mode.

Furthermore, February 4 marks the one-year anniversary since Apex Legends was released, and free login gifts will be given to players, including gun charms and a specific badge depending on how long you have been playing Respawn’s battle royale.

While we know what Forge looks like, there was no footage yet revealed of this new Legend who is “confident yet humble,…” and “uses his size, strength, and heavy-duty Shatter Gauntlets to batter his opponents into submission.”

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=apex-legends-season-4&captions=true”]

It was also revealed that Forge is a 5-time Hyperfighting Federation Champion and is the first corporate-sponsored Legend. His sponsor? Hammond Robotics.

If that name sounds familiar, it’s because it is one of the major corporations from Titanfall that was allied with the IMC and produced a ton of war material for its cause.

The team at Respawn also hinted that Hammond Robotics may be the cause for some big map changes in Season 4 for World’s Edge.

Ranked mode is also getting an update with Ranked Series 3, and the biggest change is that the current Apex Predator Tier will now be Master Tier. This tier will be earned by any players who earn over 10,000 RP. To achieve the Apex Predator Tier, players must be one of the top 500 players per platform with the most RP.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2019/12/24/13-biggest-video-game-surprises-of-2019″]

There will also be two parts of Ranked Series 3. The first Split will take place on World’s Edge and will run from February 3 – March 23. The second Split will run from March 24 – May 5 and will see the return of the Kings Canyon map.

Rewards will be earned based on the highest rank achieved from either Split. If players earn the same rank on both, they will also unlock an animated version of the Rank Badge.

More details on Forge and Season 4 will be released in the future. Until then, check out why we called Apex Legends the Best Shooter of 2019 and take a look at an Apex Legends player who wanted to play so bad he took over and Airport TV to do so.

Adam Bankhurst is a news writer for IGN who can’t wait and is so excited he just can’t hide it. You can follow him on Twitter @AdamBankhurst and on Twitch.

Just like the three previous seasons, Season 4: Assimilation will add a brand-new weapon to Apex Legends. Though datamined assets and recent gameplay changes hinted at the new weapon being the Titanfall 2 Volt submachine gun, it’s actually a sniper rifle called the Sentinel.

“The Sentinel is a new sniper rifle–it’s a bolt action sniper rifle,” Apex Legends design director Jason McCord said in the Season 4 Reveal Devstream. “So it feels really powerful, it’s got that cool animation where you cock it back, and it’s a little different than our other sniper rifles because it has a charge mechanic.”

Given that Season 3: Meltdown already added a sniper rifle that requires charging, the Charge Rifle, it’s not immediately clear how the Sentinel differentiates itself–though it seems like the new weapon will behave similarly to a Triple-Take or Peacekeeper that has a Precision Choke attachment equipped. “Don’t wanna go too deep on [the charge mechanic] right now but it does give you a little more decision-making to do whenever you’re taking those shots.” McCord said. “Do you really want to try and take the most powerful shot you can take right now?”

Follow-up comments from Apex Legends community manager Jay Frechette seem to support the idea that the Sentinel is a sniper rifle that can fire quick but weak shots or a charged but slow single shot without the need for any attachments. “I’ve enjoyed playing with [the Sentinel] a lot as well,” he said. “It has that neat twist of almost having another fire mode.”

Season 4: Assimilation will also see the return of Kings Canyon and the addition of a brand-new playable character, Forge. Assimilation begins on February 4.

Team Ninja has shared the first story trailer for Nioh 2 as well as revealing the post-launch DLC plans for the title. This includes three major DLC releases promising hours of additional single-player gameplay.

Nioh 2 is set during the Warring States period in Japan. The protagonist is a rogue mercenary who hunts down yokai, demon spirits that have overrun the war-torn island. The mercenary is half-yokai who uses his powers to battle the demons, but one day loses control over his abilities.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/01/23/nioh-2-story-trailer”]

Thanks to the merchant and their “Spirit Stones” the mercenary regains power over their yokai abilities and sets out with the merchant to find more stones.

Team Ninja’s creative director Tom Lee confirmed Nioh 2 would have a post-launch DLC roadmap and season pass. There will be three “major DLC’ releases that will focus on a different storyline that takes place before the events of Nioh 2. There will also be new weapons, combat abilities, and characters with each DLC that can be incorporated into the main missions.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=nioh-2-story-screenshots&captions=true”]

IGN reviewed Nioh and praised the action RPG for its ambition. Though it’s a Dark Souls-inspired game, we said Nioh has enough originality to forge its own identity. Nioh was also a PlayStation Plus game last year, so if you managed to pick it up in time you can read IGN’s Nioh guide for tips and walkthroughs.
