Blue Beetle director pitched DC a Bane origin story – in Matt Reeves’ Batman universe

Matt Mercer, Critical Role’s many-talented Dungeon Master, has a starring role in Starfield, the latest role-playing game from Bethesda Softworks. The announcement was made Wednesday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

A recurring location in Starfield is Cydonia – one of the first settlements humanity set up when we took to the stars. Plenty of quests will send you here – normally to the sleazy Broken Spear Bar – and plenty of quests will start here if you go looking. One of which is ‘Red Tape Blues’. 

As the school holidays wind to a close, and those heady weeks of FIFA games and lengthy RPG sessions fade into memory, my household has had one last gaming hurrah. I’ve been making my way through all of the things I saw at Gamescom, and carried on with some of them when I got home. Wayfinder has become the daily MMO hit, and I’ve been playing with my son in his first true stint of online gaming. Alongside that I’m still playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’m probably going to finish up just as the PS5 version appears. It’s safe to say it’s very, very good, and if you haven’t been able to play yet, you should be excited.

The trailer for Saltburn is here, and it's every bit as intriguing as we'd hoped. 

In Polygon's recent interview with design director Emil Pagliarulo, it was revealed that Starfield very nearly had a voiced protagonist in the style of Fallout 4's sole survivor.

Margot Robbie auditioned for American Horror Story: Asylum, but her star power proved too strong for the series.

Ultra Pro Wrestling’s showcase has dropped and with it comes the first in-game footage and a metric-ton of roster announcements. We got to see intros that pay homage to Virtual Pro Wrestling 2’s full walkouts from the backstage area to the ring with “Blue Collar” Bill Dollar facing “Sir” Oliver Buckingham. The light and hard strikes and grapples were shown off and the strikes definitely have the same feel as No Mercy in terms of reactions and selling. The grapples seem a tad floaty, but this is pre-alpha footage and that can always be tightened up. The go-behind animation definitely needs some work and the snap German based on one of Dr. Death’s variants in the Aki engine looks pretty good overall.

They Cloned Tyrone, the directorial debut of writer-director Juel Taylor starring John Boyega, Teyonah Parris, and Jamie Foxx, has made its mark this summer as not only one of the best new movies on Netflix, but one of the best new releases of the year. The sci-fi/comedy/mystery genre mashup follows a trio of oddball characters: Fontaine, a stoic and brusque drug dealer (Boyega); Yo-Yo, a savvy sex worker with dreams of escaping her hometown (Parris); and Slick Charles, a hilarious pimp (Foxx). They stumble upon a hidden government research facility below their neighborhood devoted to a variety of nefarious projects. With the combined power of their respective talents and the help of their community, the group takes on the forces aligned against them in order to expose the truth and take charge of their own destinies.

The first trailer for Society of Snow, a new Netflix movie based on the true events of a '70s plane crash in the Andes mountains, is here, promising a hard-hitting and emotional look at the real-life tragedy.
