<p>As per the official IO Interactive <a href="https://twitter.com/IOInteractive/status/1350899132966318084">Twitter account</a>:</p>

<img src="https://cdn2.whatoplay.com/news/hitman3.jpg" alt="Hitman 3: IO Interactive Clarifies No Repurchases">

<p>For now, it looks like players won’t be able to port over Hitman 2 locations on launch day, but at least we have confirmation from the developers that they are working on solutions to make the seamless transition without any additional spending on the players’ part.</p>

<p>There’s no exact date yet on when this fix will go live, but in the meantime, they can get their hands on the GOTY edition of Hitman 1 for free when you pre-purchase Hitman 3 or buy it in the first 10 days after release.</p>

Little Nightmares II Releases Demo with a Creepy New Trailer

<p>Hogwarts Legacy has been delayed. After the announcement last September that we would be getting a Potter-based <a href="https://whatoplay.com/new/open-world" title="New Open World Games">open-world</a> game in 2021, it looks like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/portkey-games" title="Portkey Games">Portkey Games</a> has opted to delay the game by a year.</p>

<p>As per the <a href="https://twitter.com/HogwartsLegacy/status/1349400854000922627">official announcement</a> on the Hogwarts Legacy Twitter page, the game has been delayed to 2022.</p>

<div class="direct-quote">“We would like to thank fans from around the world on the tremendous reaction to the announcement of Hogwarts Legacy from out Portkey Games label. Creating the best possible experience for all of the Wizarding World and gaming fans is paramount to us so we are giving the game the time it needs. Hogwarts Legacy will be released in 2022.”</div>

<p>After the whole debacle with the release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/cyberpunk-2077" title="Cyberpunk 2077 on PC">Cyberpunk 2077</a>, a lot of people are intently looking at AAA games and how they have been released; and the same could be said for Hogwarts Legacy. We could either get games that come out on time at the expense of the developers, or we could have a game that’s been delayed repeatedly but comes out with no problems. Either way, the industry needs to take a long hard look at the process of how games are made and make sure that it’s not at the detriment of the people who provide them.</p>

<p>A 2022 release could be beneficial for Hogwarts Legacy, seeing as it’s close to the release of the next Fantastic Beasts film. While the movies haven’t been that well-received by audiences, it’s sure to bring some great brand synergy when the game and film release around the same time.</p>

Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy Delayed to 2022

<p>With titles like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/rise-of-the-tomb-raider" title="Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC">Tomb Raider</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps3/uncharted-drakes-fortune" title="Uncharted on PS3">Uncharted</a> making their jump from consoles to the big screen, it looks like the franchise that inspired both of them is going to be the one making the transfer to video games.</p>

<p>As announced by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/bethesda-game-studios" title="Bethesda Game Studios">Bethesda</a>, the studio is currently working on a game based on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/indiana-jones" title="Indiana Jones on PC">Indiana Jones</a>. Here’s the teaser:</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="und" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/XSaIwjgiOF">pic.twitter.com/XSaIwjgiOF</a></p>— Bethesda (@bethesda) <a href="https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/1349023307228704770?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 12, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>The <a href="https://twitter.com/bethesda/status/1349024654611120130">official announcement</a> also includes this statement:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">A new Indiana Jones game with an original story is in development from our studio, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/machinegames" title="MachineGames">@MachineGames</a>, and will be executive produced by Todd Howard, in collaboration with @LucasfilmGames. It'll be some time before we have more to reveal, but we’re very excited to share today’s news!</div>

<p>It’s going to be interesting to see how they’re going to be setting Indiana Jones apart. Bethesda has often been teased for making only one kind of game with The Elder Scrolls and Fallout. More so that the Uncharted and Tomb Raider games have succeeded at encapsulating the spirit of adventure and treasure-hunting that the Indy movies do.</p>

<div class="video-responsive">

</div>

<p>This Indiana Jones title may just be a smaller, more contained game, as a fifth Indiana Jones movie is in the works with Steven Spielberg. What are the odds that the studios would want them to release alongside each other for brand synergy? We don’t know when the game nor the film will release, but hopefully we get some more solid updates before the year ends.</p>

<p>In the meantime, Bethesda fans are waiting for news on the release of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-elder-scrolls-vi" title="The Elder Scrolls VI on PC">Elder Scrolls VI</a> which will hopefully get a release date this year.</p>



Can the studio behind Skyrim and Fallout bring new life to the original Nathan Drake?

Indiana Jones Game Announced by Bethesda

<p>Ever since the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, the video game division of Lucasfilm, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/lucasarts" title="LucasArts">LucasArts</a>, had been dissolved with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/electronic-arts" title="Electronic Arts">EA</a> taking over the IP. With new Star Wars game titles being planned down the line, Star Wars has officially announced their new game division—Lucasfilm Games.</p>

<p>Watch the sizzle reel:</p>

<div class="video-responsive">

</div>

<div class="direct-quote">Celebrate Lucasfilm’s rich legacy in games, as we enter an exciting new era of storytelling in Star Wars and beyond.</div>

<p>It’s worth noting that all modern Star Wars titles are showing up in the teaser from main games like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/star-wars-battlefront-ii" title="Star Wars Battlefront II on PC">Battlefront II</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/star-wars-jedi-fallen-order" title="STAR WARS Jedi Fallen Order on PC">Fallen Order</a> to expansions on games like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-sims-4" title="The Sims 4 on PC">Sims 4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/minecraft" title="Minecraft on PC">Minecraft</a>. Only one game in the teaser hasn't been released yet, and that’s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/lego-star-wars-the-skywalker-saga" title="LEGO Star Wars The Skywalker Saga on PC">LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga</a> which is set to come out in Spring this year.</p>

<p>After the blunder of EA with the launch of Star Wars Battlefront II, Disney is said to be making sure to take a good look at the gaming side of Star Wars. This new banner could be a result of that. This might mean we will be getting a whole bunch of games moving forward. Even when the movies had ended, fans had LucasArts to thank when it came to keeping the franchise alive.</p>

Upcoming Star Wars Titles to Release Under New Lucasfilm Games Banner

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/blizzard" title="Blizzard Entertainment">Blizzard</a> teased a new Japan-based map called Kanezaka last year, and it looks like they’re ready to put it into the game. The Kanezaka Challenge has been launched to welcome the upcoming map.</p>

<p>Watch this:</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The dragon awakens.<br><br>Play Overwatch Kanezaka Challenge on Jan 12! <a href="https://t.co/C545E093CH">pic.twitter.com/C545E093CH</a></p>— Overwatch (@PlayOverwatch) <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayOverwatch/status/1348736691742384131?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 11, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<p>As per DailyESports, Kanezaka will be the final new map of Overwatch, and it’s going to be a free-for-all map like Pera and Chateau Gillard. With Genji being the one to get most of the great cosmetics throughout the game’s run, it’s also nice to see some more love for his estranged brother Hanzo.</p>

<p>Besides the game, Overwatch is also known for building a story around the characters. Blizzard has also released this new ‘Correspondence’ letter from a Toshiro Yamagami which will give us more in-story context for the new map and updates on the Shimada clan.</p>

<p>You can check out the full letter <a href="https://playoverwatch.com/en-us/news/23608156/">here</a>.</p>

<p>Blizzard is slowly wrapping up their live service for Overwatch. Though <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/overwatch" title="Overwatch 2 on PC">Overwatch 2</a> has been announced, we haven’t received any significant updates on the game. Hopefully with the pandemic having died down in some areas and already, we will get news on the upcoming sequel.</p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/devolver-digital" title="Devolver Digital">Devolver Digital</a> has managed to keep <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/fall-guys-ultimate-knockout" title="Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout on PC">Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout</a> alive with interesting tie-in cosmetics like the Sonic the Hedgehog skin and the Godzilla skin. Now, they’re looking to enter into more adult IP territory with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/doom" title="DOOM on Switch">DOOM</a>-inspired outfits.</p>

<p>Check this out:</p>

<p>Here’s the official description:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Just when you thought it was safe to stumble back into the Blunderdome, two unique worlds collide with a collection of iconic, demonic costumes inspired by DOOM muscle their way into Fall Guys for a limited time from January 12. Fall Guys publisher Devolver Digital has absolute confidence that their precious jelly beans are in no way under threat from the infernal hordes, but insist that Team Deathmatch remains unconfirmed.</div>

<p>This is certainly a hard right turn for Fall Guys (FG)  which is just coming out of their <a href="https://whatoplay.com/post/fall-guys-ultimate-knockout-winter-season-3" title="Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout Announces Winter-Themed Season 3">Winter/holiday season</a>. But it’s still great that we’re getting some new costumes. Fingers crossed we also get some new DOOM-themed maps.</p>

<p>Like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/among-us" title="Among Us on Android">Among Us</a>, Fall Guys has come out to be a surprise hit for 2020. I have to commend the designers on the accessibility of their game. The IP tie-ins manage to keep FG feeling fresh. Though we have been getting a lot of costumes, I am hoping we have some more colorful events and game modes down the line.</p>

<p>The DOOM costumes are set to come to the game on Jan. 12. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is now available for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/fall-guys-ultimate-knockout" title="Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout on PS4">PlayStation</a> and PC.</p>
