A new community event is underway in Call of Duty: WWII on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Beginning today, April 17, players can take part in the limited-time Blitzkrieg event, which introduces a new game mode, weapons, and more to the online shooter.

The Blitzkrieg event will run until May 8 and features a new, limited-time mode called Ground War. This game type will only be available for the duration of the community event and pits two teams of nine players against each other across Team Deathmatch, Kill Confirmed, Domination, and War modes.

In addition to that, Activision has made the HQ a playable map in Party Games. Unlike Ground War, the map is a permanent addition to the game and can now be selected in Prop Hunt, Gun Game, and Free-For-All modes.

Beyond the new map and mode, Activision has introduced six new weapons to the game: the Type 5, ITRA Burst, and M2 Carbine rifles; the Type 38 sniper; the Sterling SMG; and the baseball bat. Additionally, players can take on a new Community Challenge, which will net them various rewards, such as a new helmet, weapon charm, and an exclusive Rosie II Grease Gun variant.

Later this week, Activision will kick off another challenge for all Call of Duty: WWII players. Starting April 20, players will be tasked with collectively completing 75 million Orders and Contracts in multiplayer. Even if that goal isn’t achieved, Activision says players will earn rewards “at each step along the way.” You can read more about the Blitzkrieg Community Event on the official Call of Duty: WWII website.

The DC movie universe is showing no signs of slowing down. With Aquaman headed to theaters later this year and Shazam currently filming, Warner Bros. is moving forward with the planned spin-off film for Suicide Squad breakout character Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie). The movie has now found a director.

As first reported by Deadline, Cathy Yan has been chosen to helm the film, after giving a Birds of Prey presentation to the studio. It’s expected she will become the second woman to direct a DC film, after Wonder Woman‘s Patty Jenkins, as well as the first female Asian director to tackle a big-budget superhero movie. A script for the project was written by Christina Hodson.

Yan’s hiring reportedly came at the behest of Robbie, who wanted a female director for the project about a girl gang of DC characters. While it remains to be seen what other characters will appear in the film alongside Harley Quinn, Variety’s Justin Kroll reports that the film will introduce audiences to Batgirl–as Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War did for the character of Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman). Similarly, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice did the same with Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot).

Batgirl was originally slated to be written and directed by Avengers and Justice League alum Joss Whedon before he stepped away from the project in February. Though a new director has yet to be named, The Hollywood Reporter says Hodson will also pen this movie’s script.

As for Suicide Squad 2, Kroll claims it will no longer start production in 2018. That film is currently slated to see director Gavin O’Connor taking over for David Ayer. The Birds of Prey-based spin-off is expected to head before cameras in late 2018 or early 2019. However, a release date for the film has not been announced.

This will be Yan’s second time helping a feature-length film. Her debut, Dead Pigs, recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. She has also served as a director, producer, and writer on a number of short films. Previously, she was a reporter for the Wall Street Journal.

It’s time for another big WWE event, but this for this one, the show will be taking place in the Middle East. It’s called Greatest Royal Rumble, coming to the rest of the world live from Saudi Arabia on Friday, April 27. Because of the time zone difference, the show will air in Saudi Arabia at 5 PM BST / 7 PM AST; however, in North America, it will come to the WWE Network at 12 PM ET / 9 AM PT, with a Kickoff Show airing one hour prior.

If you can’t get around to watching the show live because you’re at work, school, or whatever, don’t worry. GameSpot will be covering Greatest Royal Rumble live, just like we do with all WWE PPVs. The Middle Eastern event revolves around one gigantic match for the evening: a 50-man Royal Rumble match. At this time, there’s no prize for the winner, aside from bragging rights.

There are eight matches on the card so far, but the show will surely get larger with the Cruiserweight and WWE Championship matches yet to be booked. Here is who is on the card and our predictions for the event. Don’t expect any huge surprises as Greatest Royal Rumble feels almost like a large house show with the way it’s being booked and promoted.

The chances of a sequel to 2015’s acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road are looking increasingly unlikely. Although director George Miller has spoken about his plans for a follow-up numerous times over the last couple of years, it was reported last November that Miller was suing Warner, the studio that produced the movie. The case has now started, and things aren’t looking hopeful for fans of the action franchise.

According to Sydney Morning Herald, Miller is suing over what he alleges is Warner’s non-payment of a $7 million bonus that was guaranteed if the movie’s budget came in at under $157 million. Although it went overbudget, Miller states that it was decisions by Warner that caused delays and cost overruns, such as insisting on new scenes and an alternative ending. In addition, Miller says that an additional production company was brought on board without the knowledge of him or his producing partners.

Warner’s defence is that the delays and overruns–which resulted in a final budget of $185 million–were largely caused by Miller’s production company. The studio claims that the additional photography was necessary to finish the film, and states that the new ending was merely a request, not a demand.

The case is being heard in Australia, where it was first brought. Although Warner initially argued that it should be heard in the US, the Australian Supreme Court ruled in November that it would be litigated there.

Miller was asked about the case during a Q&A at a college this week, and he revealed he had been working on multiple scripts since Fury Road‘s release. He also confirmed that there were two scripts for further Mad Max scripts ready, but that he had no idea if they would ever happen. “They’re there but that’s all I can say,” he said. “That’s in the future.”
