Immortals of Aveum – New In-Game Cinematic Debuts on July 21st, 9 AM PT

Fandom threw a big party to kick off San Diego Comic-Con this year.

We're still trying to get a read on the first-person sorcerer simulator Immortals of Aveum, and it's proving resistant to our scrying. The gameplay looks promising enough, but the fairly generic fantasy setting still gives a little pause (we got enough of that for the year in the mediocre Forspoken, thank you very much).

Overwatch 2 is one of the biggest multiplayer games around, thanks to its diverse cast of heroes, unique gameplay, and its committed development team. Blizzard has poured its heart into the shooter, from the character creation to mechanics, making the sheer size of the Overwatch 2 fanbase come as no surprise. If you’re anything like me, then one of the first things you do when you find a new game you love is look up its merch, especially anything cute like a plush toy. Overwatch fans with similar tastes rise up, as Blizzard has just dropped the merch of our dreams.

A couple of months after the last trailer, we now have another look at the upcoming Silent Hill: Ascension. Shown exclusively to San Diego Comic-Con attendees, this latest trailer serves to hammer home the overall tone of the upcoming interactive narrative game. But despite being the first Silent Hill game in over a decade, fans aren't impressed, with the new trailer leaving them more concerned than hyped.

San Diego Comic-Con has sadly come and gone, and many fans are still reeling from the “lesser” shown that we got due to the writers/actors strike that prevented certain things from being shown. However, when it came to video games, there were multiple panels that blew the roof off of the place due to the announcements made. Easily the biggest in many respects was Mortal Kombat 1. Ed Boon had teased that there would be big announcements, one of which was a trailer for their next animated movie. But for their upcoming title, the game got two trailers stacked with character reveals.

Ascendant Studios’ Immortals of Aveum received much information at San Diego Comic-Con. The developer revealed a new cinematic, which sees Jak and General Kirkan conflicted over the Binding Stone, a powerful artifact. It also confirmed that Michael Kirkbride of The Elder Scrolls fame is involved with the world-building and narrative.

Ascendant Studios unveiled a new cinematic for Immortals of Aveum before its San Diego Comic-Con panel, showcasing a tense confrontation between protagonist Jak and General Kirkan. However, the studio also revealed that Michael Kirkbride, known for writing the lore of The Elder Scrolls series (including Morrowind andOblivion), is involved in the narrative.

Recently at San Diego Comic-Con, NetherRealm Studios showed off a new trailer for Mortal Kombat 1 that confirmed Li Mei, Baraka, and Tanya for the reboot’s roster of fighters, and Goro and Darrius to the roster of Kameo characters. Now, the developer has also provided new story details on a couple of those additions.

Justin Roiland's replacements on Rick and Morty will copy his performance, rather than provide new voices. This comes after Roiland was dropped from all of his voice-acting commitments following allegations of domestic abuse and inappropriate communications with fans.

Move over Frank Castle - there's officially a new Punisher coming to Marvel Comics. Announced at Comic-Con International: San Diego 2023, the new Punisher is Joe Garrison, a retired SHIELD agent who is pulled back into action to take up the legacy of Frank Castle.

Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm Studios showed up in a big way to San Diego Comic-Con on Friday. The studio revealed new details about its next fighting game, including that fighters Tanya and Li Mei, who made their debuts in Mortal Kombat 4 and Deadly Alliance, respectively, are coming to Mortal Kombat 1. Joining those two Umgadi warriors is Baraka, who seems surprisingly sympathetic in a new story-centric trailer for MK1.

Insomniac popped by San Diego Comic Con yesterday for to host a panel for their upcoming PS5 superhero sequel Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. The new story trailer is all about Kraven as one new antagonist, Venom, the alien symbiote that has become an iconic part of the Spider-Man story, and the shared story of Peter Parker and Miles Morales.
