IGN Fan Fest 2026: Biggest Announcements From Day 1 (Updating Live!)

IGN Fan Fest is back for its seventh edition today and tomorrow (February 25 and 26!), and we're so excited to once again present a show filled with exclusive reveals, trailers, gameplay, deep dives, and interviews with the incredible creators behind your favorite movies, shows, games, comics, and anime.

We can't wait to share all the surprises we have in store from LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, 007 First Light, Mortal Kombat II, Scream 7, Project Hail Mary, One Piece, and so much more, and we'll be gathering all the biggest announcements right here as they happen to ensure you don't miss a thing.

Our Exclusive New Mortal Kombat II Trailer Has Arrived

Karl Urban helped kick off IGN Fan Fest 2026 in a big way by introducing the brand new trailer for Mortal Kombat II. In the footage you can see above, we get to see Urban's Johnny Cage looking quite unhappy at a fan convention before finding himself battling other realms in a fighting tournament.

Mortal Kombat II will be released in theaters on May 8, 2026.

007 First Light Cinematic Shows Lenny Kravitz Was Born to Be a Bond Villain

Lenny Kravitz is lending his talents to 007 First Light, where he will become the villain known as Bawma. In this latest trailer revealed at IGN Fan Fest, we get to learn more about him and what happens when you upset him. Spoiler: it involves crocodiles.

“I’ve met some folks that are… similar to his character," Kravitz told IGN in January. "I grew up in the Bahamas as well as New York City, and there were guys who had [Bawma’s] vibe and were doing similar things in the islands. He’s an interesting guy. We’re not quite sure how he’s going to turn.”

“We wanted more than just a one-sided villain, like we wanted to have some kind of charisma," added 007 First Light Director Hakan Abrak. "He has more sides to him that could maybe turn out surprising in the story. You’ll need to wait to see that until the game comes out."

New Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Trailer Is Serving Tentacles

Season 2 of Apple TV's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is set to debut on February 2027, and it looks to feature not only Kong and Godzilla, but also the terrifying Titan X, who boasts some wild tentacles that are sure to be trouble. To help celebrate the launch, check out this brand-new clip of the show.

AEW’s Kenny Omega Brings Alex to Life for Street Fighter 6

We had the chance to invite All Elite Wrestling superstar Kenny Omega to IGN Fan Fest to talk about his upcoming Street Fighter 6 character, Alex. Omega provided motion capture for the character and fans will be able to try him out on March 17. He also shared a wild story about how his involvement in Street Fighter 6 came about.

"When the news broke and they told me, we signed the NDAs and we know who the characters are and Alex will, in fact, be one of them. And they said, for you being such a good sport, it'd be cool if we, you know, put a move of yours in, maybe one or two or a taunt or something," Omega told IGN.

"I had said, 'wow, that would be great. I just don't know when I could fit that into my schedule to do the mocap for it.' And they'd said, 'oh, wait, you do the mocap for it?' I said, 'yeah, is that what you were talking about or no?' They said, 'oh my, if you would do the mocap for it, that would be awesome.' And so a misunderstanding on my part is what led to me actually going to the studio and doing a slew of mocap for the character. If there was ever a better time to be stupid, that was one of them, because it worked out in my favor completely to not understand what they were talking about at that moment. So because of that one discussion, I got invited back to the next year's Tokyo Game Show. And then before doing the game show, I stopped over at Osaka, where they do the mocap for Capcom. And we hammered it out in one day. It was a grueling 10 or 11 hour shoot. I remember losing like eight or nine pounds of water weight, but it was so worth it and so fun."

The Vampire Lestat Hits AMC in June With Rockstar Vampires
