With the Fallout live-action show now out and honestly far better than I was expecting, are Bethesda also brewing an adaptation of their other big RPG series, The Elder Scrolls?

Despite seemingly escaping the Embrace(r) of death through their sale to Take-Two at the end of last month, Gearbox Entertainment haven’t quite emerged unscathed.

Alongside the announced acquisition of Gearbox by Take-Two Interactive, publishing subsidiary 2K Games has also confirmed that the next Borderlands game is in active development.

CM Punk hasn’t been confirmed as a playable character in WWE 2K24 yet, but the Chicago-born superstar recently made the case to be added as DLC down the road. Nearly ten years after his last virtual appearance in a WWE video game and just a few months removed from his controversial departure from AEW, CM Punk shocked audiences by walking out to the ring at the very end of November’s Survivor Series live event. Since then, there has been much speculation about Punk’s WWE future, including whether or not he will appear in the upcoming WWE 2K24.

Newly-released gameplay videos are offering a look at how special stipulations like Casket Matches and Special Guest Referee contests will play out in WWE 2K24.

Developer Visual Concepts and publisher 2K Games have unveiled the roster for upcoming pro-wrestling game WWE 2K24. The roster of the title will see more than 200 WWE Superstars, spread across different categories, including Legends, NXT, Raw and Smackdown.

Following a week or so of roster reveals, WWE 2K24 has pulled back the curtain on the entire roster. There are still some ratings for WWE 2K24 superstars like Roman Reigns that haven't been revealed yet, but at least now fans know everyone who will appear in the game at launch.

WWE 2K24 is bringing back Special Guest Referee Matches for the first time in 10 years, and now the developers have posted a brief teaser of the stipulation. During certain wrestling matches, the usual official is replaced by someone who usually doesn’t have this job, such as another WWE 2K24 wrestler. This can add drama to a given storyline, as the replacement referee in question more often than not has a personal bias (at least in kayfabe) toward or against one of the competitors, which could impact their enforcement of the rules during the match.

A new preview for the video game movie adaptation has been released ahead of the upcoming trailer.

WWE 2K24 is bringing back the infamous ECW promotion for its MyGM mode. Extreme Championship Wrestling was created in 1992 as a competitor to both the World Wrestling Federation (as WWE was once known) and World Championship Wrestling, and set itself apart with a roster of future WWE 2K24 superstars and a more hardcore style of wrestling that saw competitors strike each other with weapons as often as punches and holds. WWE would start a revamped version of ECW as a third brand in 2006, but this would eventually end in 2010, with NXT taking its place two years later.

The WWE 2K franchise is no stranger to unique playable characters, and the upcoming is no different. 2K Games has announced that superstar musician will be in the latest entry to the wrestling game franchise.
