Lightsabers came to Fortnite during the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker event. Here is how to get your own lightsaber.

From iPads, headphones, and smart watches to PC and console accessories, these are the best tech gifts of 2019.

Very few actors get the chance to star alongside a genuine legend. For Daisy Ridley in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, she was able to work with not only one legend but several – including Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford. Ridley opened up to IGN Japan at a recent junket in Tokyo for The Rise of Skywalker about what she was able to learn from these giants of cinema – and what she regrets not asking them.

She said that any tips were gleaned indirectly, as she was hesitant to ask too many questions.

“I think all of us learned more by seeing how people (such as Fisher) were, rather than what they specifically said to us,” she said. “And especially, I never wanted to be the person who was like, ‘Hey, can I ask you like a hundred questions?’ So I went the other way and was like, ‘Yeah, I’m totally cool; I’m not fussed at all.’ So now I look back with Carrie – and with Harrison and Mark – on questions that I wish I had asked, but I didn’t want to be that annoying person.”

Somewhere between a lucid dream, a children’s show, and an acid trip, you’ll find Wattam. The latest game from Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi is an absurd and colorful adventure full of anthropomorphised objects, laugh-out-loud goals, and a dreamlike sense of floaty imprecision. It’s not the meatiest of games (despite literally letting you play as meat), but it’s a ridiculous joy all the same while it lasts.

Wattam doesn’t really fit into any specific genre box, but you could most closely liken it to a third-person puzzle game. Bear with me here: you control a mustachioed green cube called the Mayor who wears a bowler hat with a confetti bomb inexplicably tucked underneath it. He starts out alone in the dark, but simple quest prompts guide you (and potentially a friend in local co-op) along to complete tasks that slowly repopulate the world around you.

The iconic God of War franchise, and the main character Kratos, originally had very different names according to ex-Sony Santa Monica exec Stig Asmussen.

In this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered (the full episode airs tomorrow), Ryan McCaffrey sat down with Respawn’s Stig Asmussen to talk about his time at Sony Santa Monica, the history of blockbuster PlayStation exclusive God of War, the recently-released Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and much more.

“In terms of the name Kratos, there’s an interesting story,” Asmussen said, “David Jaffe, who was the director on God of War, put it out to the team, ‘Hey, anybody got any cool ideas for what the name of this character could be?’ and everybody would just send emails… and then those emails would be forwarded over to marketing, and they kind of picked who they thought the top choices would be.”

IGN is excited to debut the first trailer for Superman: Red Son, the 38th entry in the DC Universe Original Movies lineup.

Watch the trailer in the player above or by clicking the video below:

Superman: Red Son is based on DC’s classic 2003 Elseworlds comic by Mark Millar. The story takes place in an alternate reality where the spaceship carrying Kal-El lands in Stalinist Russia instead of the Kents’ farm in Kansas, resulting in a Man of Steel who’s not so concerned with the American way.

The new film features the voice talents of Jason Isaacs as Kal-El, Amy Acker as Lois Lane, Diedrich Bader as Lex Luthor, Phil Morris as James Olsen, Phil LaMarr as John Stewart, Vanessa Marshall as Wonder Woman, Sasha Roiz as Hal Jordan, Roger Craig Smith as Batman, Paul Williams as Braniac, and William Salyers as Joseph Stalin.
