Actress News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Mortal Kombat 1’s entire character roster leaked overnight, but NetherRealm Studios has turned the attention back to its own announcement cadence. It’s confirmed that Nitara will return to the series for the first time in almost 20 years – and not only that, she’ll be played by Transformers star, Megan Fox.

HBO’s live-action adaptation of The Last of Us was a massive hit. Typically, video games haven’t translated well in either the film or television entertainment medium. But there are some exceptions, and The Last of Us is among that group. Fans couldn’t get enough of the faithful adaptation, and it certainly turned the attention back to the video game franchise for those who might be new to the IP. Regardless, everything came to a halt for this production, thanks to the ongoing strikes in Hollywood.

Meghan Fox has been revealed to be the surprise voice actress for Nitara for Mortal Kombat 1.

Exciting news for anyone who’s ever wanted to see if Megan Fox could take on Johnny Cage or Kitana in a fight: it’s been confirmed that the American actress is joining the Mortal Kombat 1 roster as the face and voice of the fierce vampiric fighter, Nitara.

Megan Fox appears to be in her gamer-girl era, and she’s showing no signs of slowing down. The American actress will voice the vampire fighter Nitara in Mortal Kombat 1. On Wednesday, developer NetherRealm Studios released a trailer presenting the character and showcasing Fox’s new role.

Mortal Kombat 1’s roster already has a few returning names from the series’ 3D era in the forms of Ashrah and Havik, and another long-lost favorite joins the fight. Nitara is making her long-awaited return, and it’s such a big homecoming that NetherRealm has enlisted actress Megan Fox to voice her.

A few things we’ve known about this season of American Horror Story: First, it’s going to be the first season based on something, in this case Delicate Condition, a horror novel by Danielle Valentine; second, it’s the first season not solely helmed by Ryan Murphy; and third, as well as most importantly, Kim Kardashian is playing a major role.

The official Starfield twitter account has introduced us to a new character who you can recruit as a companion to join you on your ship.

Baldur's Gate 3 has a pretty cool selection of companions for you to choose from, each with their own unique charms and quirks that makes travelling around with them and watching them interact with each other an absolute joy. However, a certain blunt Githyanki has caused somewhat of a stir on social media this past week, as some believe Lae'zal's status as the game's least popular companion is because female characters are held to a much higher standard than male ones.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is packed with dialogue, including tons of little scenarios that you may never see unless you replicate a very specific set of directions. For instance, I’m absolutely in love with Astarion’s line delivery when you torch him with a sun cannon and bring him back to life. It’s all very Dennis Reynolds from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and I appreciate Larian Studios for enabling that level of chaos. The voice actors did fantastic work, and many of them are taking to social media to join in on the jokes around the game.

Acclaimed actress Lucy Liu has shared information about her new video game project, The Pirate Queen: A Forgotten Legend, in an interview during the Future Games Show at Gamescom.

Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima, is no more. At least, in the eyes of the world at large. But true legends never die… they just get a massive image change, a new career, and a new name. Enter the new dragon: Joryu, a secret agent with a fighting prowess that betrays years of experience on the meanest of streets, packing an extra rocket-powered punch with a bevy of new hi-tech gadgetry in tow.

During Gamescom 2023, Blizzard revealed Season 2 for Diablo 4: Season of Blood. It looks like Blizzard will be following the originally promised quarterly release schedule for Diablo 4 seasons. Season of Blood will release on October 17, almost exactly three months after Season of the Malignant.

Diablo 4 fans don’t have to wait too long until Season 2 releases in October. Luckily, at Gamescom 2023, Blizzard announced that vampiric powers are coming to Diablo 4 Season of Blood. The second Season of the beloved action RPG will introduce vampires and vampire hunters. Although it was a short trailer, we got a decent glimpse of what the new questline will center around.

Earlier today, reports started to emerge that the existence of Borderlands 4 had been leaked by an actress adding the game to her resume, but Genvid Entertainment has since clarified the situation.

There are some games we probably wouldn’t be all that surprised to be announced. Now that doesn’t mean there’s not a ton of excitement and hype built up from an announcement. However, there are some games that we are expecting new installments for. One of the game franchises that we are expecting another game but have yet to see an official reveal is a Borderlands 4. While the announcement has yet to make its way out, a new leak might have at least confirmed it’s being developed.

Movie-watchers have taken to Reddit to discuss their picks for the most unlikeable characters of all time – and we absolutely agree.

The original actors who portrayed Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us are reuniting for Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights event.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a wildly complex game, but the humble narrator helps guide players through it all. Whether I’m in a dingy goblin village or peering into a pool of mind flayer tadpoles, I know the narrator will dispassionately explain the finer details to me. It helps that the voice actress does such a good job at being cool, clear, and slightly mysterious. The mystique is only slightly broken by an incredible series of TikToks posted over the last couple of months by narrator actress Amelia Tyler.

Sex is a part of life, and it's a part of Baldur's Gate, as well. Heck, it's part of the roleplaying experience at this point, expected even, with Mass Effect's randy Commander Shepard's legendary exploits causing a scandal in at least two separate dimensions. Considering that the two revolutionary roleplaying franchises are kissing cousins (developmentally speaking), perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that salacious gamers are already ensuring Baldur's Gate 3's success.

In a new interview, members of the Guild Wars 2 team talk about the upcoming expansion, Secrets of the Obscure , and therecently revealed return of the character of Zojja, played by actress Felicia Day.

Starfield fans are currently debating who the best NPC in a Bethesda game is, and Sarah Morgan seems to be coming out on top so far. 

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.

Alongside the confirmation of which characters will appear in Mortal Kombat 1's first DLC, three more playable characters have been confirmed.
