Fox has released the first poster for the upcoming X-Men spinoff movie, The New Mutants.
The poster, which you can see below, gives off a major horror vibe, with the film’s official Twitter account saying, “The only thing you have to fear… is yourself.” It looks like the image features the movie’s main characters, including Wolfsbane and Magik, and they seem to be in plenty of discomfort.

As has become a December tradition, we’re closing out the year not with month-long IGN First coverage on one game, but instead taking exclusive looks at over a dozen games we think you should make sure to keep on your radar in 2018. We’ll have a new game almost every weekday from now until Christmas (and maybe even a weekend surprise or two), so be sure to bookmark this page and check back often.
If you’re curious about how last year’s list turned out, take a look at it here. Enjoy this month’s very special IGN First!

Ubisoft has released the next big expansion for Rainbow Six Siege. With the game recently celebrating its two-year anniversary, we’ve now gotten Operation White Noise, which adds the usual array of new Operators (plus one extra), a new map, and other content to the shooter on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
White Noise’s biggest additions are those Operators. With this being a South Korea-themed update, two of them hail from the 707th Special Mission Battalion. Dokkaebi is an Attacker whose unique gear is the Logic Bomb, which allows her to hack enemy devices and reveal their position with a loud noise. Vigil is a Defender who has access to the Electronic Rendering Cloak, or ERC-7, which prevents him from being seen on cameras. In addition to those two, we get a third Operator, this one from the canceled Poland expansion. Zofia Bosak uses the KS79 Lifeline, a grenade launcher capable of firing both explosive and concussive rounds.
As is typical of Siege expansions, these characters are now available to Year 2 season pass owners for free; everyone else will be able to purchase them using in-game currency beginning on December 12. All players do get something for free right away, as the new Mok Myeok Tower map is available to everyone. This is set near the top of a skyscraper observation tower, which is home to a variety of different environments and places an emphasis on verticality.
Besides the new content, Ubisoft hopes to make some improvements to the game with this update. This includes testing “new synchronization logic for some projectiles,” most notably including grenades. The goal is to prevent issues where the position of grenades suddenly change–such as one appearing right back in your face after you throw it. Additionally, your movement will now be factored in, so that throwing a grenade while you’re on the run will cause it to go further.
The rate of fire on handguns has also been increased and new UI elements should make it easier to track buffs and debuffs. And, of course, a variety of bug fixes have been made impacting specific maps, weapons, and Operators. You can check out the full list here.

The CW is getting a new superhero in January. Black Lightning is the latest DC Comics adaptation for the network and a new trailer gives potential fans unfamiliar with the character a look at his backstory. “Black Lightning is back,” the trailer declares, as retired superhero Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams) once again suits up and puts his powers of electricity to use to save his city.
It’s a definite departure for The CW, which usually features much younger actors portraying their star superheroes. Whereas The Flash‘s Grant Gustin is 27, Williams is 47. Then again, it’s also a departure in that the origin of this superhero starts in the middle of his story. The series picks up long after Pierce’s first stint as a superhero–a job he gave up for his family.
As the trailer shows, though, he hasn’t lost a step. Between his fighting skills and the ability to shoot electrical blasts from his hands with little effort, Pierce is ready to take on the gang attempting to corrupt his community.
Black Lightning was originally created by Tony Isabella in 1977 and was the first black superhero to be given his own comic book. It’s only fitting that the character is also the first black superhero to lead his own TV show.
Williams is joined in the series by China Anne McClain and Nafessa Williams, who play his daughters, along with Christine Adams, and James Remar. Black Lightning premieres on Tuesday, January 16, at 9 PM ET/PT, following The Flash. It’s important to note that at this point the series does not exist in the same universe as The CW’s other superhero shows.
