We spend months working with publishers, studios, developers, and others to bring these awesome franchises to our lineup, and get your questions (and your intrigue!) answered directly from its creators.

The Legend of Vox Machina



The Legend of Vox Machina has arrived on Prime Video and is the long-awaited adaptation of parts of Critical Role’s first campaign. Season 1 will wrap up right before IGN Fan Fest begins, so we thought we’d help with the sadness that comes with the end of a good thing by having the entire cast break down the events of the first season and also look ahead at what fans can expect from a possible Season 2.

The Northman



The Northman, an upcoming Viking epic from director Robert Eggers (The Witch, The Lighthouse), is set to release in theaters on April 8, 2022.
