Halloween Horror Nights will bring the world of Stranger Things to its event this year. Food inspired by the popular Netflix series will be an added immersive experience for guests to enjoy at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort.

The specialized dishes were created by the executive chef and culinary teams at each of the parks.

Universal Orlando Resort has separate Stranger Things-inspired food, including Christmas Tree Light Cupcakes, Waffle Ice Cream Pocket Sundaes, and 11 Mini Donuts that are covered in red frosting and inspired by the nosebleeds Eleven gets when she uses her telekinesis powers.

How the Internet Is Reacting to Henry Cavill No Longer Being Superman

Following a report that actor Henry Cavill is no longer going to be portraying Superman, Twitter reactions of all sorts have been flying (sorry) in.

As is par for the course with any major report, jokesters are getting in on the reaction game by having some fun with the report. But plenty of reactions have been more serious, many expressing alarm over someone other than Cavill portraying the Man of Steel.

A number of people ran with the report that Warner Bros. might be considering replacing Cavill with Michael B. Jordan. But Bleacher Report’s Dave Schilling joked about how that could create some problems for Supes:

Pokemon Go Will Let Players Submit Their Own PokeStops Soon

Niantic has announced that Pokemon Go will begin letting select users submit their own PokeStops for nomination – the beta for will initially be limited to certain players in Brazil and South Korea, however.

Announced through the official Pokemon Go website, Niantic will begin rolling out the first beta test of the PokeStop nomination system very soon. The feature will initially be limited to level 40 trainers (that do not have child accounts) in Brazil and South Korea. Trainers who meet these requirements can nominate potential PokeStops by taking photographs of the location, which will then be reviewed by experienced users.

The Walking Dead Season 9: Rick’s Final Episodes Are an ‘Incredibly Emotional Journey’

All September long, IGN is spotlighting the best TV coming your way in the 2018-2019 season. Today, we’re diving into Season 9 of The Walking Dead, premiering October 7 on AMC. While the world of the series is expanding with new communities and new cast additions, there will be plenty of threats for our heroes to face, both internally and externally. Not only will our favorite characters have to contend with the loss of Rick Grimes this season, they’ll also be faced with a terrifying new threat – comic book villains the Whisperers.

Sunset Overdrive Was Originally a Lot Like Fortnite

Early in development, Sunset Overdrive actually had a lot in common with the then-unreleased, now-immensely-popular multiplayer game Fortnite.

IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey sat down with Insomniac CEO Ted Price for this month’s episode of IGN Unfiltered (see below) and talked about the origins of the popular Xbox One exclusive.

“Our first prototypes were, actually, you building a fort with friends, fighting off hordes of

” Price said, “So, very similar to a very popular game today, which we all sort of chuckle about, but the game did morph along the way to something that was more of a story-driven, open world game.”

There are still vestiges of that early iteration of the game, which players can experience in Sunset Overdrive’s base defense encounters. Price went on to explain other early ideas, which included experiments with cover-based combat and more, and how the team stumbled upon the magic combination which makes Sunset Overdrive so unique.

No, Halo 5 Is Not Coming to PC

For a brief time earlier this week, it looked like one of Xbox One’s biggest exclusives might no longer be quite so exclusive, but Microsoft has since shut down rumors that Halo 5: Guardians is on its way to PC.

“As we’ve shared previously, we do not have plans to launch Halo 5: Guardians on Windows 10 PC,” a Microsoft representative told CNET.

Rumors to the contrary emerged Sunday, when a subtle change to Halo 5’s Amazon box art was noticed. Instead of reading that it was an “Xbox One Exclusive,” the box art was changed to read that Halo 5 was just an “Xbox One Console Exclusive.” The change to the latter wording is in line with how Microsoft typically describes games released on both Xbox One and PC, but that’s apparently not the case with Halo 5.

Henry Cavill Won’t Play Superman Again For DC–Report

Henry Cavill was first announced in the role of Superman back in 2011, and to date he has appeared in three DC movies–Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League. However, it has now been reported that he is set to leave the DC Universe and will not play the character again.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, DC was looking to include a Superman cameo in next year’s Shazam. However, negotiations with Cavill broke down, and with the studio increasingly moving away from the current version of their superhero universe, the actor is unlikely to reprise the role.

THR’s sources state that negotiations failed due to scheduling issues, potentially with the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher that Cavill was recently cast in. However, there is also a suggestion that he took the Witcher job after failing to reach an agreement with DC. The site also states that there is a Supergirl movie in the works, which will be an origin story featuring a “teen superheroine,” a storyline that is unlikely to have a place for an adult Superman.

In any case, it seems that the DC Universe is undergoing yet another shake-up. While Shazam, the upcoming Aquaman, and next year’s Wonder Woman 1984 are technically part of the existing universe, the Joker origin movie that is about to start production is not. In addition, Ben Affleck is not expected to play Batman again, and the standalone Batman movie that is currently in development is likely to star another actor as the Caped Crusader.

Cavill’s involvement with The Witcher TV show was confirmed last week, after the actor hinted about it last month. He will play Geralt in the Netflix show, which is expected to premiere in 2020. The eight-part show will be based on the fantasy novel series written by Andrzej Sapkowski, on which the games are also based.

American Gods Drops Season 2 Showrunner Amid Behind the Scenes Turmoil

Starz’s American Gods has lost yet another showrunner as Jesse Alexander has been “sidelined” due to issues occurring behind the scenes.

As reported by THR, Alexander, who replaced original showrunners Michael Green and Bryan Fuller, was “fired but not fired,” and is “no longer working on the hyper-stylized drama as a writer or showrunner, and has been asked not to sit in on editing, be involved on set or participate in any other areas of production or postproduction.”

Apple iPhone Keynote 2018 Event: Start Time, How To Watch, And What To Expect

Apple’s much-anticipated iPhone event is happening today, September 12, and based on the (rather convincing) rumors out there, it could be one of the biggest launches for the company’s mobile offerings yet. Top of mind is, of course, the successor to the iPhone X, reportedly called the iPhone XS. The rumors indicate there will be at least two versions: the iPhone XS, which will be 6.1 inches and will be the more affordable model, and the iPhone XS Max, which will be a whopping 6.5 inches (the biggest iPhone yet). [Update: Apple has leaked the names of its new iPhone products, ahead of the event.]

GameSpot’s sister website, CNET, will have full coverage of the event, featuring several longtime Apple watchers and coming to you live from the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino, California. The pre-show begins at 9AM PT / 12PM ET / 5PM BST, with the main event kicking off at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST. You can watch the livestream of CNET’s coverage here, where they’ll also have a liveblog of all the big announcements.

Nothing has been confirmed by Apple, but 9to5Mac has shared tons of details about the new iPhones, including a new second-gen 5.8-inch model and rumors of an updated Face ID and improved rear camera. We may also learn about a new generation of Apple Watches, iPad Pros, and possibly get a first look at the successor to the Macbook Air. Here’s what Apple is rumored to be announcing:

We could also see the below products announced on September 12, but they could easily make an appearance in October or even later:

Fortnite Update 5.40’s Patch Notes: Suppressed Assault Rifle Added, Drum Gun Vaulted

Epic Games has released the patch notes for Fortnite‘s 5.40 content update, confirming everything that is being tweaked, changed, and added to the game’s Battle Royale and Save the World modes on PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. The most notable part of the update is the introduction of the Suppressed Assault Rifle.

The new Suppressed Assault Rifle will let Battle Royale players take out enemies quietly. On Epic’s official Fortnite website, the weapon is said to reward precision over rapid fire. It can be found in Vending Machines, floor loot, Treasure Chests, and Supply Drops, and is also available in Epic and Legendary variants. If you manage to score one of these versions, you’ll do 32/33 damage per shot.

To make way for the Suppressed Assault Rifle, the Drum Gun has been vaulted, which means it is no longer available to use.

In Save the World, meanwhile, Field Agent Rio joins the battle, and there’s also a new set of Weekly Horde Challenges. For these, shields are considerably less useful as Husks are more aggressive. You can see the full patch notes for Save the World here and take a look at the Battle Royale notes below.
