Even though director Matt Reeves gave us our first look at Robert Pattinson in the new Batsuit, the screen test left out a key detail: the ears on the Bat-cowl. While those pointy appendages may seem like small potatoes, they’re an important element that affects the whole look. Too short and they make him look like a cat, and too long and he’ll have trouble entering doorways. We’re too excited by the many possibilities to wait for the actual reveal to come, so we took it upon ourselves to see what Pattinson’s Dark Knight would look like with various ear styles based on how Batman has been drawn by iconic artists over the years.

Flip through the slideshow gallery below to see how Battinson would look with ears modeled after the styles of Frank Miller, Jim Lee, and more. All designs are by IGN artist Amanda Flagg.

Which of these ear-lengths do you most want to see on the final Batsuit? Let us know down in the comments.

Animal Crossing Amiibo have been available for pretty low prices for the last few years, but they are bound to creep back up in price as we approach Animal Crossing: New Horizons‘ March 20 release for Nintendo Switch. Amiibo and Amiibo cards will let you invite characters to your island and partake in photoshoot sessions in the new Photopia mode. Right now, you can grab a handful of Animal Crossing Amiibo for just $5 each at GameStop. You’ll probably want to hurry, as some of the steeply discounted Amiibo have sold out within the last day.

Animal Crossing Amiibo

Sure, those six aren’t exactly known as the faces of the franchise, but if you’re looking to build an Animal Crossing Amiibo collection ahead of New Horizons, this is a cheap way to start. GameStop also has Tom Nook’s Amiibo figure discounted to $8. The rest of the Animal Crossing crew can be found at Amazon:

Isabelle’s summer outfit figure is the only Animal Crossing Amiibo going for more than its regular price, but if you can wait, the figure will be re-released on April 17 at Best Buy and Target.

There’s still time to pre-order New Horizons, and numerous retailers are offering their own unique bonuses. If you’re looking for some new Switch accessories to show off your Animal Crossing love, there are quite a few options, including controllers, carrying cases, and console skins.

Rainbow Six Siege’s explosions are about to get a whole lot better, or worse, depending on if you get caught in the blast radius. Walls and barriers will still be your friend, but they might not be enough to say save you from the deadliest grenades.

Beginning with Rainbow Six Siege Year 5 Season 1, a new shrapnel system is factored into explosions. Destructible objects will not limit the range of an explosions’ damage, and shrapnel hole swill be visible in cover to make it clear where the initial blast came from. This should not only make grenades more effective, but reduce confusion among players.

The changes were made in order to make damage more realistic, particularly when comparing outdoor areas and buildings. Using the old system, a C4 charge was more lethal outdoors than inside, not taking into account the shards of wood and metal that would likely be sent flying.

A tweak to an explosion system would be a relatively small change in most games, but it has the potential to shift up strategies considerably in Rainbow Six Siege. Keeping the game fresh is certainly important for Ubisoft, which has supported it for more than four years and shows no signs of slowing down. A cooperative spin-off called Rainbow Six Quarantine will release later this year on Xbox One, PS4, and PC, taking the series in a science-fiction direction.

Development of Kerbal Space Program 2 has moved from Star Theory Games to a newly formed, KSP-dedicated studio, publisher Private Division announced Friday. The new studio is owned by Private Division parent company Take-Two Interactive.

Jeremy Ables, former studio head at Star Theory, will step into the same role at the new, currently unnamed studio. Joining him from Star Theory are Kerbal Space Program 2 creative director Nate Simpson and lead producer Nate Robinson, according to Gamesindustry.biz.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=kerbal-space-program-2-announcement-trailer-gallery&captions=true”]

“The decision to open our own studio and move development in-house allows us to provide the development team with the necessary time and resources to complete development of KSP 2 at the quality level we all want to deliver our players,” said Private Division. “Our goal — and the goal of our developers — is to provide our community with the highest level gaming experience with Kerbal Space Program 2.”

Take-Two acquired KSP in 2017. The sequel was then announced at Gamescom 2019 with Star Theory (formerly Uber Entertainment) as its developer. Original KSP developer Squad has been continuing to work on the first game.

IGN spoke with Simpson shortly after that Gamescom reveal. The creative director said Kerbal Space Program 2 will be more accessible to newcomers without being less challenging for core KSP players.

Kerbal Space Program 2 is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC during Take-Two’s fiscal year 2021 (April 2020–March 2021).

Blackbird Interactive, developers behind Homeworld 3 and Deserts of Kharak, have a new intergalactic game forthcoming. Titled Hardspace: Shipbreaker, the game is in first-person and casts the player as a shipbreaker, who apparently has some hefty debt and needs to repay it by scavenging parts off of dead space ships.

Players will get to use a laser cutter and other cool tools to complete the job, with the caveat that electrocution, being blown up, and asphyxiation are all hazards of the occupation. (Resurrection adds more to the debt.)

If you’re looking to get a taste of the gameplay, Hardspace: Shipbreaker will be available through Steam’s Early Access sometime this summer at a currently unknown price. The Early Access version will include Act 1 of the campaign, which will require around 15-plus hours of gameplay to complete, and a “freeform sandbox mode” that allows for hundreds of more hours of gameplay. Players will have the choice of two types of spaceships to scavenge from and lots of salvaging tools and suit parts that they can upgrade. The total debt to pay back in the campaign will be 999,999,999 credits.

Blackbird Interactive has stated it “[has] a rough plan for a year of development beginning in May 2020,” but will “decide down the line exactly how much [of the] game [it] considers to be the 1.0 version.” The studio added, “[We’d] rather stay in Early Access for as long as needed than come out early to hit an imaginary window we’ve set for ourselves.”

However, the company did share some of its vision for the full game. Blackbird predicts the full campaign to take around 40-plus hours of gameplay and that the “unlimited sandbox fun mode” will stay. The full version will also likely have the addition of various new ships of different scale, leaderboards and daily challenges, and “modding support” for players to design their own ships and challenges.

Just ahead of the start of New York Toy Fair, we have an exclusive first look at new Jurassic World toys from Mattel. Some of these figures recreate iconic moments from the original Jurassic Park and 2015’s Jurassic World, while others tie into the upcoming animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.

Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at all the dino sights on display at Toy Fair.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=jurassic-world-comes-alive-through-new-mattel-figures&captions=true”]

Mattel’s lineup includes a mix of more kid-friendly, stylized toys like the Feeding Frenzy Indominus Rex and Imaginext Jurassic World Dino figure, and more movie-accurate interactive toys like the Epic Roarin’ Tyrannosaurus Rex and Control ‘N Conquer Carnotaurus Toro.

It’s no surprise to see Mattel continuing to emphasize the Jurassic World license. With Camp Cretaceous hitting Netflix in 2020 and Jurassic World 3 bringing back series stars Sam Neill, Laura Dern and Jeff Goldblum, the franchise will likely continue to be a huge money-maker over the next several years.

For more on what to expect from Jurassic World 3, check out this look at an adorable baby dinosaur from the sequel and learn which other Jurassic World characters will be returning.

You may have already heard rumors of a new, 6″ G.I. Joe figure line, and this morning Hasbro confirmed it is, in fact, readying an all-new series of Joe’s for 2020.

The G.I. Joe Classified line are 6″ figures inspired by the 1980s G.I. Joe 3.75″ figures, but are so very much better. Take a look at Snake Eyes, Roadblock, and Scarlett in the gallery below:

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=new-gi-joe-classified-series-figures-unveiled-at-toy-fair&captions=true”]

Snake Eyes, everyone’s favorite G.I. Joe ninja, comes with an “Arashikage Ninja Clan-inspired gear storage rack” for all his ninja gear, like his katana, sai, ninja stars and decidedly non-ninja submachine gun. Snake Eyes’ packaging includes “foil effects and original artwork from Tracie Ching and Miq Willmott,” and should be out sometime later this year. Check out a behind the scenes look at the Snake Eyes and the packaging in this video from Hasbro.

Scarlett comes with a crossbow and a whole grip of knives, and the packaging for the figure has art by Phil Noto. Roadblock comes with a “heavy artillery blaster” and package art by Mike Thompson and Ken Lashley. All three figures include multiple articulation points and Scarlett and Roadblock can be preordered directly from Hasbro Pulse beginning tomorrow, February 22 at 4 pm ET/1 pm PT, as well as the usual retailers you’d expect. The preorder page for Roadblock will be live at Amazon and Scarlett can be preordered from Amazon or Walmart in addition to Hasbro Pulse.

Snake Eyes, on the other hand, can be preordered right now, and ONLY from Hasbro Pulse. Snuck up on you, didn’t he? That’s the way of the ninja, my friends.

Hasbro has been busy this Toy Fair, introducing a new set of Transformers: WFC figures to coincide with the upcoming animated Netflix series.
