Andrew Wilson, the always impeccably dressed CEO of EA, is reportedly being considered for Disney’s top job. It’s a big move in the entertainment world, with potential ramifications for fans of Pixar and Marvel as well as The Sims, Battlefield, and Dragon Age. Iger’s current contract runs until 2026, so it could be a while before anyone actually needs to get new business cards printed.

IGN has reached out to EA for a comment on the story.

The report came from The Wall Street Journal, which added that Wilson is up against at least two other external candidates for the replacement of current CEO Bob Iger. Iger previously retired in 2020, but he barely had time to take up fishing before he returning in 2022 after his successor, Bob Chapek, was pushed out of the role.

As for Wilson, he’s notched up over 24 years with EA, with 11 of those as CEO. In the latest EA earnings call, Wilson revealed Apex Legends likely wouldn’t be getting a sequel, and that in his eyes, Bioware has returned to its strengths with Dragon Age. If you want to more about him, enjoy this snippet from his corporate biography.

“A native of Australia, Andrew enjoys playing golf and is a life-long surfer, proudly serving as the Chairman of the Board for the World Surf League. He is also a passionate martial artist, holding a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.”

Today’s Black Ops 6 post hides a few cosmetics that will no doubt have heads spinning across Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone throughout Season 1. While some will surely spend their hard-earned COD Points on more tame offerings like the new Call of Duty League bundle and Cascade Failure tracer pack, others will be drawn to, for example, Carver’s Bloke Biter Ultra Skin. The outfit suits your Operator up as a great white shark, fit with gills, a dorsal fin, and a few rows of pointy teeth.

The G’Day Bait tracer pack also comes with more goodies in the form of ocean-themed builds for the XMG LMG and KSV SMG, as well as a collection of bloody cosmetics, including an emote, weapon charm, decal, spray, and calling card. The Cash Bandit bundle, meanwhile, will let Niran scavenge the battlefield as a racoon with the Debt Collector reactive weapon skin, the Vault Security GPR 91 assault rifle blueprint, and more.

These are two animal bundles that add a layer of goofiness to Black Ops 6, but Carver’s new Parasite Warrior bundle adds a hint of horror thanks to a grotesque design that sees your Operator wearing a parasite that looks like it was ripped straight out of Alien. There’s also the Kick Some Brass bundle, which includes what looks like a steampunk version of a Killzone Helghast soldier, and the Eternal Hunter bundle, which gives Rossi a vampire look.

Call of Duty usually waits for later seasons to start pulling out the more creative Operator bundles, but Black Ops 6 looks like it wants to make an impression sooner rather than later. This year’s Call of Duty entry came out swinging when it launched on October 25. Although it’s not been without its hiccups, players have largely taken to its fresh takes on classic game modes so far.

While we wait for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 1 to launch on November 14, you can check out our reviews for its Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies modes. You can also read up on what else to expect with this week’s update and some of what the team at Treyarch as addressed so far.

Moreover, on Nintendo’s digital storefronts, including the eShop and My Nintendo Store, holiday sales on select games will be a few days ahead of the other deals on November 19. But retailers could start to price match on this day instead.

Switch games on sale for Black Friday:

• The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – $49.99 ($20 off)

Black Friday Holiday Console Bundles

The Black Friday Holiday Switch bundles are something we already knew about and are already available, but it has now been triple confirmed by Nintendo. You can now purchase a Nintendo Switch: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle for $299.99 (see it at Best Buy), or a version with the Switch OLED for $349.99 (see it at Best Buy). For those keeping track, the OLED bundle is new for Black Friday 2024. Let’s look at the details.

Free In-Store Events

Nintendo is also organizing in-person demo events at Target, Best Buy, and GameStop, giving players a chance to try upcoming games and participate in giveaways.

• Nov. 16–17: Target locations will feature live demos of Super Mario Party Jamboree.
• Dec. 7: Best Buy Family Fun Day will offer hands-on demos for games like Mario & Luigi: Brothership, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Just Dance 2025.
• Dec. 14: GameStop will host demos for the same lineup.

What About Amazon?

Amazon is susipciously absent from the press release seen at Business Wire. We recently reported on how there’s been something of a Nintendo-Amazon freeze out over much of 2024. This was recently broken with the listing of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sold and shipped by Amazon, but there’s currently no indication as to whether the freeze out will still continue despite that anomoly. While Amazon will certainly have its own Black Friday sales, you might be better off finding Switch deals at Best Buy, Target, or Walmart.

When Is Black Friday 2024?

The actual date of Black Friday in 2024 falls on November 29 this year, but the deals season will begin a lot sooner than that. Leading up to the big event, retailers will begin to open deals online. This usually starts in the last week of October, just before Halloween. Each week leading up to the event will slowly roll out more deals, which ultimately leads to massive discounts on Black Friday. Retailers will not reveal their biggest Black Friday deals until the big day, but most general deals will be available well in advance.
