Some players have begged for skins such as the Black Knight or Renegade Raider to return to the store, but Epic Games insists on not distributing these cosmetics any further.

I recently finished God of War (2018) and very much enjoyed it. I know this isn’t going to be news to most people, but it’s really rather good.

Every few years, a new action movie recalibrates expectations for the genre. It happened in 2011 with The Raid: Redemption, it happened in 2014 with John Wick, and it’s about to happen again with Mayhem!, the new revenge thriller from many of the people behind the brilliant first season of Gangs of London.

Graewolv’s upcoming occult-infused tactical shooter is to receive a live-action movie adaptation.

From Star Wars to Naruto, Epic Games has managed to nab all kinds of brand crossovers for its skins and characters - and it still hasn't counted out going for Nintendo.

So, the rumours were true. Fortnite is rolling out yet another epic crossover. This time, it’s the TMNT making their way into the battle royale arena! Keep reading to get the full scoop on Fortnite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

You almost have to feel bad for Fortnite because they try their best to keep bringing in content and skins that will get players excited, and then, somehow, that content always gets leaked before they can unveil it for themselves. Why did we say we “almost” have to feel bad for them? Simple, they still make a crap ton of money and are likely one of the most profitable games of all time! So yeah, they can afford to have a few things leaked; it won’t hurt them that much. Anyway, another leak has come forth on Twitter, and they have shown fans some of the new skins you’ll be able to get within the game.

SPINE is a single-player, story-rich action game that emphasises close-quarters gun fights, aping the aesthetics of Gun-fu movies like John Wick, and it's coming to PS5. We got an impressive-looking gameplay trailer showing all kinds of up-close, stylised mayhem.

Tonight's PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted stream may have been mostly focused on games we already knew about, but there were a couple of surprises hidden away in there, too. One of them was Spine, an upcoming action game that asks the question: what if Sifu also had guns? The new gameplay trailer shows street artist heroine Redline punching, kicking and shooting her way through a cyberpunk-themed world of thugs and armoured guards, and her fancy footwork and the equally agile camera framing looks like it could be quite the combo when it eventually comes out in 2025. Alas, the trailer doesn't give away much else, but I spoke to developers Nekki ahead of tonight's showcase to find more about it, and how it's taking direct inspiration from Sifu and John Wick to become the next big cinematic beat 'em up.

There’s a late entry for the best movie trailer of 2023, and it’s for The Fall Guy.

My main job in Final Fantasy 14 is the ninja. It has a satisfying rotation. I like that I can occasionally dip into ranged combat. I like that I'm slightly faster than everyone. I like that I get a little bunny on my head when I mess up. It's good fun.

Two weeks after the previous narrative-focused blog post, the developers of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 have now discussed their artistic approach, sharing a few new good-looking screenshots for good measure.

The appeal of soulslike games is one I'd somehow avoided. Then the other morning I was mindlessly scrolling TikTok instead of falling asleep and came across a short video. I watched a small crab  get fed up with dodging, blocking, and occasionally getting a hit in against a big boss crab, give up, and pop a cap in his face. It just pulled out a gun and blew him away. That game was Another Crab's Treasure by Aggro Crab which currently has a limited time demo up on Steam as part of this year's Next Fest.

There's something so crunchy and satisfying about seeing someone elevate a game like Starfield—similar to the rush you get watching your favourite wrestler or a movie like John Wick. You know it's all been pre-planned, you know there's some kayfabe involved, but it's sick enough that you don't care.

However, while the gamers are focusing on the now, they’re also focusing on the future. Specifically, they’re focusing on the Kombat Pack that’ll debut in the coming months. The pack will feature not only Kombatants from past titles but also three 3rd party characters that are sure to make things even more interesting. But what might surprise people is that one character almost made it into the game from the beginning: John Wick.

Until morale improves, the John Wick franchise will continue to hand out beatings — this time in the ’70s. The first full trailer for the prequel miniseries The Continental: From the World of John Wick is appropriately groovy, but it feels less like the work of John Wick director Chad Stahelski, and more like something dreamed up by Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, working in Kill Bill/Jackie Brown mode.

Acclaimed martial arts adventure Sifu is nearing the end of its journey; developer Sloclap has announced the game will be getting its last-ever content update on 7th September.

There's always been quite a disconnect between Revenant's reputation and his abilities in Apex Legends. All the cinematics we get of this infamous, terrifying murder-bot show him single-mindedly pursuing his targets, scuttling along walls, and wiping out enemies at close range like a cybernetic John Wick. But once you get in-game, his toolkit has always been fairly underwhelming - with the exception of his Death Totem, which never seemed to sit well thematically with the character.

Shinichirō Watanabe, the man behind anime classics like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, has lined up his next anime project. The new series is called Lazarus and comes from an all-star creative team that includes John Wick director Chad Stahelski and jazz legend Kamasi Washington.
