2016's San Diego Comic-Con takes place this week, running from July 21-24.

 

We don't yet know exactly what we'll see, but we do have some idea of what to expect. Microsoft is hosting a Gears of War 4 panel today, July 21, that it promises will offer "special announcements and surprises." New footage of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will also be shown during a panel today, while another will feature Overwatch.

A 25-year-anniversary celebration for Sonic takes place on Friday (you'll be able to watch it live here on GameSpot) where Sega could announce a new game. New Injustice 2 characters are slated to be revealed at a panel also taking place on Friday, the same day of the Game of Thrones panel.

 

You can check out the full schedule on Comic-Con's website.

 

Comic-Con is routinely home to tons of awesome collectibles, statues, and other merchandise, as well as some fantastic cosplay. You can expect to see tons of photos and news from the event here on GameSpot, and we'll keep this post updated throughout the show with all of the can't-miss news.

The famous Exorcist film is becoming a TV show. Now, Fox has released a new Comic-Con trailer for the show and it looks incredibly creepy and mysterious.

 

Fox's Exorcist TV show follows two priests, father Tomas Ortega and father Marcus Brennan, who are each trying to deal with a family's demonic possession. As you'll see in the trailer, each man has a very different background and temperament. Take a look:

 

 

Oscar-winner Geena Davis (Thelma & Louise, The Accidental Tourist) plays the family's mother, Angela--and she's seen happier days.

 

"Angela has been plagued by recurring nightmares, each more frightening than the last. Angela believes there is something in the house, a demonic presence, growing stronger by the day," reads a line from the show's official description.

 

It goes on: "Desperate, she begs Father Tomas for help, unwittingly setting the naive young priest on a collision course with Father Marcus. Separately, each faces an insurmountable task, but together they become the only hope against an evil force that has been mobilizing for centuries."

 

1973's The Exorcist, based on the William Peter Blatty novel, was nominated for multiple Academy Awards and ended up winning two: Best Sound and Best Writing for a Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium.

 

The new show premieres on September 23 on Fox. It is directed by Rise of the Planet of the Apes director Rupert Wyatt.

Infinite Warfare Includes Remake of Beloved Map Terminal

 

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is still a few months away, but today at San Diego Comic-Con, developer Infinity Ward shared some new information about its upcoming shooter: The studio announced that the beloved map Terminal, which first appeared in Modern Warfare 2, is being remade for Infinite Warfare, and it'll be a preorder bonus.

 

During its panel, the developer revealed that Terminal is getting a fresh coat of paint to make it more compatible with the science-fiction world of Infinite Warfare. An image posted on Infinity Ward's Twitter shows a little of what you can expect from the reimagining of the map:

The structure of the map appears the same to the original, but the aesthetics have clearly been overhauled. It now looks like a space station terminal, with elements of the map changed to match the new theme. For example, the passenger jet from the original, which usually became a nexus of fierce firefights, has been replaced with a space shuttle.

 

Terminal was also brought to Modern Warfare 3, although that version was essentially identical to the original.

 

You'll get access to the map if you preorder Infinite Warfare ahead of its November 4 release date for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

 

In addition, if you purchase the Legacy Edition of the game for $80, you'll get access to Modern Warfare Remastered, a standalone remake of Call of Duty 4 that includes ten multiplayer maps from the original game. You can also buy the Legacy Pro edition, which includes Infinite Warfare, Modern Warfare Remastered, and Infinite Warfare's season pass.

 

Recently, Infinity Ward showed off a lengthy demo of a level from Modern Warfare Remastered,
