Stray, the hit Annapurna Interactive game starring a cat, is getting a “feature adaptation” from Annapurna Animation, according to a press release. Annapurna didn’t share much else about the movie — we still don’t know when it might come out or what it might look like — but if you were a fan of the game and looking for another way to experience the game’s universe, now you can look forward to this upcoming film.
In the press release, Annapurna also said that it plans to adapt more Annapurna Interactive titles in the future, though it didn’t specify which games might be turned into movies or shows. Scrolling through the studio’s list of games, there are a lot of good candidates, though; perhaps a Kentucky Route Zero miniseries? A Donut County cartoon? Maybe somebody can find a way to tackle Outer Wilds?
It’s been a big year for video game adaptations. The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a smash hit, and HBO’s The Last of Us was so popular that it increased sales of the game. There was also the Gran Turismo movie, which I’ll probably catch when I can stream it, and Twisted Metal on Peacock, which I might just skip entirely.

A big moment in Baldur's Gate 3 was accidentally ruined for one player by a quirky Sorcerer ability.
Baldur's Gate 3 is an extremely horny game, with every single party member in the game itching to jump your bones given the slightest chance. That's why it should probably come as no surprise that a series of raunchy body pillows are currently being made, featuring select party members that you encounter in the game. Fan favorite characters Astarion and Karlach are included in the initial lineup, as expected, with each case featuring both a normal and saucy design on the front and back.
If a boss is proving too difficult, push them off a cliff. It's the best way to avoid a tough fight in Baldur's Gate 3, especially since you can distract them with dialogue and switch to another character. But if you're growing tired of shove, there's always the wild magic route, which let one player turn a particularly difficult endgame boss into a sassy, hissing cat.
The online attack that disrupted MGM Resorts International resorts and casinos across the country began with a social engineering breach of the company's information technology help desk, according to a cybersecurity executive familiar with the investigation.
Elden Ring is full of notorious boss fights, but none of them hold a candle to Malenia, Blade of Miquella. She's considered the toughest boss in the game by a wide margin, mostly down to her quick attacks and Waterfowl Dance technique that can seem completely unavoidable if you'e not properly prepared for it. She feels very much like a more fast-paced Sekiro boss fight plopped in the middle of Elden Ring, which does make you wonder how the Wolf would stack up against her.
We finally have a name, and a release date, for Princess Peach's upcoming game.
On Sept. 8, disturbing reports began to appear on Reddit. Wyze users checked camera feeds through the company's web viewer only to find video from other people's homes.
Starfield modders are having their fun with Bethesda’s space role-playing game, making some weird and wonderful concoctions as well as some really useful, quality-of-life improvements. Now, modders are turning their attention to Star Wars.
Cursed ship designs were always an inevitability with Starfield, and after two full days in the wild, players have already made some wildly funky and plainly cool ships. Scrolling through social media channels, you’ll find that players have hammered away at their own unique designs while also creatively remaking other iconic vessels from Mass Effect, Star Wars, Halo and, of course, our friend Thomas The Tank Engine. There’s also been a shocking lack of, uhm, male organ-shaped spacecraft which makes putting this post together much less hard. But for now, onward! Let’s admire some cool ships.
A Starfield fan known for creating miniature stop-motion-style animations has done exactly that and is giving fans a glimpse into the RPG's everyday world.
Videogame trailers can be predictable nowadays. Bursts of Hans Zimmer-esque synthesised brass. Rapid-fire edits timed to thudding percussion. Dreadful down-tempo cover versions of classic songs. So it’s all the more exciting when you find one that really makes you sit up and take notice. At last year’s Summer Game Fest, The Plucky Squire stood apart, capturing hearts and minds alike from the moment storybook protagonist Jot physically leapt from the page and became three-dimensional. This ingenious idea deserves special treatment, which is why it’s vividly depicted on Edge 389’s exclusive fold-out cover.
