How Venom Reinvents the Lethal Protector (Without Spider-Man)

IGN Premiere is rolling out an exclusive week of Venom content, starting today with an inside look at how Venom is reinventing the lethal protector for the big screen. Tune in all week at 8 a.m. PT for more first-look content at the making of Venom.

Venom is one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel comics roster, but the upcoming adaptation directed by Ruben Fleisher is looking to offer a new take on the lethal protector that fans haven’t seen before.

The new film serves as a Venom origin movie, but it breaks Venom’s origin away from the Spider-Man story it’s directly tied to in almost every iteration of the character that’s come before. This time around, Venom comes to Eddie first, and it’s their struggle to develop a symbiotic relationship that is at the center of the film.

Rockstar Offers a Peek at Red Dead Redemption 2 Locales

Rockstar Games today released new screenshots and artwork of several locations around Red Dead Redemption 2’s frontier, cities, and towns.

The newly released images showcase how varied Red Dead Redemption 2’s environments are. The images show what looks to be in-game facsimiles of real-world locations like the Rocky Mountains, the Great Plains, and New Orleans, complete with the typical Rockstar approach of assigning those locations their own in-game names.

First up is Valentine, which Rockstar refers to as, “A raucous, rough-and-tumble town in the Heartlands” with livestock auctions that “attract traders, ranchers, cowboys, gamblers, outlaws, and prostitutes from far and wide, all looking to make some money, raise some hell, and have a good time.”

Cells will be Helled!

The Devil’s Playground welcomes you.

Thanks for joining us here at IGN’s Hell in a Cell results page. You can keep up with the Hell in a Cell PPV results all night right here, and see me live-tweet over at @TheMattFowler, as Braun Strowman looks to sieze control of the yard from “Big Dog” Roman Reigns and Ronda Rousey marks her first PPV title defense as RAW Woman’s Champion as she takes on former champ Alexa Bliss.

Destiny 2 Players Beat Forsaken Raid, Unlock New Content for Everyone

Bungie promised that Last Wish, the raid included in Destiny 2’s Forsaken DLC, would be a challenge for even hardened players, and it seems to have delivered on that promise. It took nearly 19 hours before Last Wish was first beaten, the longest it’s taken the community to beat any Destiny raid for the first time. But they got something for everyone in the process.

After Clan Redeem beat the Raid, Bungie unlocked a new Dreaming City-themed Strike and Gambit map for all Forsaken players. Additionally, all players will now see a new cutscene when they enter the Dreaming City, which is Forsaken’s endgame location.

Clan Redeem’s completion of Last Wish also generated an ominous in-game message to all Destiny 2 players notifying them of the accomplishment. “A team of Guardians entered the heart of the Dreaming City and slew Riven of a Thousand Voices,” read the message. “They had no way of knowing that was exactly what Riven wanted…”
