UPDATE: Warner Bros. issued a statement Tuesday responding to the ongoing debate surrounding the potential “danger” of its Joker movie, most recently highlighted in a letter sent to the studio by the families of the victims of the 2012 mass shooting at a screening of The Dark Knight Rises in Aurora, Colorado who are concerned that the film could incite similar violence. In the statement – which you can read in its entirety below – Warners acknowledges that art is designed to “provoke difficult conversations around complex issues,” but insists that Joker is not intended to glorify the character. IGN spoke to actor Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips last week, who defended their film in response to the controversy.

NHL 20‘s cover star, Auston Matthews, is facing a police investigation for disorderly conduct. ESPN reports that Matthews, the 22-year-old center for the Toronto Maple Leafs, has been charged with disruptive behavior or fighting in an incident that took place in Scottsdale, Arizona back in May.

ESPN’s report has all the details:

“According to multiple reports that cited the police report, a woman was sitting inside her car outside the condo building where Matthews lives when she was disturbed by the sound of someone trying to jump in her door. She allegedly got out of her car and confronted Matthews, who she said was intoxicated. According to multiple reports, as Matthews walked away, he ‘pulled his pants down, bent over and grabbed his butt cheeks,’ though he kept on his underwear.”

Matthews is scheduled to appear for a pre-trial conference this Wednesday, September 25.

The Maple Leafs released a statement on Matthews, which said the organization is “aware of the complaint.” Matthews is reportedly cooperating fully with authorities, but Matthews and the Leafs declined to share any more details “out of respect for the process involved.”

Matthews is one of the NHL’s best players, which is why EA put him on the cover of its latest NHL game. Just this year, Matthews–the No. 1 draft pick in 2016–inked a massive $58 million contract with the Leafs.

This is just the latest round of controversy to surround an NHL video game cover star. EA removed Patrick Kane from the cover of NHL 16 amid a police investigation into him for sexual assault. The local District Attorney’s office decided to not pursue criminal charges against Kane.

GameSpot has contacted EA Sports in an attempt to get more details on the company’s response to the investigation into Matthews. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.

The Leafs begin their 2019 season on October 2 in a match-up against the Ottawa Senators.

The Last of Us Part II finally has a release date: February 21, 2020. The game’s director, Neil Druckmann, has revealed that it will be the longest game that Naughty Dog has ever made–though an exact number for how long it will take to complete has not been announced.

“We began working on this game over five years ago,” Druckmann wrote in a PlayStation blog post. “It’s hard to describe the immense pressure of following up the first game. We know how much you love this world and its characters–especially Ellie and Joel. Believe me, we’re fans as well. We love them. Which is why we spent years crafting a game that we feel will do them justice, telling a nuanced story that deals with the core question: how far would you go to exact justice against the people that hurt the ones you love? It’s a highly emotional story with complex themes that befit the world of The Last of Us. What we realized pretty early on is that we were putting together Naughty Dog’s most ambitious and longest game in our 35-year history. To tell this kind of story the game needed to be massive.”

For the sake of comparison, both Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and The Last of Us run for about 15 hours. So The Last of Us Part II is longer than that, but whether that’s closer to 16-20 hours or something much longer like 25-35 remains to be seen.

Druckmann concluded the post with the tease that The Last of Us fans can expect more in the next few days. “Inspired by the day the cordyceps fungus reached critical mass, every September 26 we celebrate The Last of Us community and we’ve got some exciting things planned,” he wrote.

During the September State of Play, PlayStation released a brand-new trailer for The Last of Us Part II which revealed further story details and showcased more gameplay. The Last of Us Part II looks exceptionally violent, with emotional moments between well-written characters sprinkled in between the combat. The game will release exclusively on PS4. However, with rumored plans of a PS5 console already circulating, a next-gen port or remaster might not be off the table just yet.

A special edition and collector’s edition for The Last of Us Part 2 have been announced. Interested in getting any of them? Check out our pre-order guide for The Last of Us 2. We also finally learned what The Last of Us Part 2 release date is, and even got a brand new story trailer.

Okay, I’ll be honest: after all the Court of Owls hints we’ve seen dropped in the past few days I was pretty sure they were gonna announce a fifth Batman Arkham game at today’s State of Play Sony show, so I had this slideshow of every Batman game review IGN’s done in our 23-year history whipped up. But even though they didn’t, I’ll be damned if I’m going to let it go to waste. So enjoy, if you will, this gallery of rogues and heroes, including all games where the Dark Knight played at least a supporting role.

Now, weigh in!
