Mortal Kombat started its Halloween event with a Pit-themed Johnny Cage mansion, but the bulk of it was expected to be in Invasions' second season given that it's all about Nitara and bloodthirsty multiversal vampires. 'Tis the season to bite necks, after all. But there are rumours that it has been delayed, with the current Scorpion season being extended by a week.

A year ago, if Red Dead Online announced any kind of new content, people would probably be overjoyed. The game was notoriously lacking in support, especially when compared to GTA Online, and got the rug pulled out from under it earlier this year. But when Rockstar announced a brand-new outfit, comments were flooded with demands for GTA 6 news.

Video games have provided the basis for many movies over the years — from the awful but iconic flicks of the '90s (Super Mario Bros and Street Fighter) to more modern surprise hits like Sonic the Hedgehog.

As easy as Insomniac might make it look, taking a property from the pages of a comic book and breathing digital life into it is no small or simple task. Baying legions of rabid fans are the first obstacle, and developers will have to weave through a chicane of potential online vitriol, before you hit the sizeable bump in the road of either creating a wholly new narrative or translating a well-worn one that you can’t possibly divert from.

Envisioned by acclaimed Webtoons author Jo Seok, the bone chilling Webtoons of Sanctuary collection may unsettle the most hardened of adventurers. Originally published in Korean, these tales provide a glimpse into the fabled horrors the wary inhabitants of Sanctuary might regale to unruly children under a full moon.

Dark Horse Comics is launching a new line of all-ages Star Wars original graphic novels called Hyperspace Stories, which contain standalone tales of some of the best-loved and most well known characters in the Star Wars Galaxy.

Each box is up for preorder and includes two variants of each art card, including playable versions, plus three Tales of Middle-earth booster packs.

It is exceptionally hard to scare someone via comics. Horror in other media relies heavily on implication and anticipation; the artist always knows exactly when and in what order you will experience their story. Comics yield some of that control — it isn’t possible to force people to only see one panel at a time. This doesn’t make comics an inferior medium for horror, it just makes it unlike most others — and it can be hard to find a creator that is effective at scaring you.

Despite Insomniac Games’ position as an industry leader, I’ve struggled to understand why its games are so beloved when they often feel so infantile. Ratchet and Clank games have never pried a smile from me, and I found it a chore to complete Miles Morales.

In one of the biggest leaks in gaming history, footage of the next Grand Theft Auto became public last year. It wasn't the best way to find out, but it looks like we're returning to Vice City. Since then, though, has there been anything else? Any more rumours, leaks, or perhaps even a GTA 6 trailer?

This year's CitizenCon was a two-day event and apparently the biggest show Cloud Imperium Games has put on for its cautionary tale about scope creep in MMO form.

Chill survival game Outpath released this past week and has picked up some buzz and a quite positive reception from early players. Describing itself as «an experimental clicker base building game,» Outpath's release is a lot like a first-person version of Forager. Though it does feature more in-depth base building and less automation.

A writer at Ubisoft has posted what seems to be an unknown Assassin's Creed character on their LinkedIn profile.

From what we've seen of Assassins Creed Codename Red, we know we're looking at a Feudal Japanese backdrop and some exciting new characters.

A dev build of Overkill's The Walking Dead has leaked online.

Now that we have been hearing news about Nintendo gearing up to release their next-gen handheld console in 2024, it was only a matter of time before people started wondering what games we could expect. Without Nintendo’s official announcement for the console’s name, everyone is calling the next console the Switch 2 for now, and you can click here if you want to learn more about it. Let’s look at what leaked info and forums are saying about what games we can expect to see on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Console design has come a long way since the days of the horrendous Atari Jaguar. While gamers have historically cared more about performance than aesthetics, the latest generation of modern consoles from Sony and Microsoft have prompted polarized reactions regarding their looks.

The legends and tales of Azeroth aren't just in World of Warcraft anymore — they've made their way to Sanctuary! What better way to honor the return of Icecrown Citadel in Wrath of the Lich King Classic than to bring everyone's favorite undead steed to Sanctuary? Blizzard has released a new mount in Tejal's Shop in Diablo 4, and it is none other than the faithful mount of the Lich King himself. Invincible will ride through the wilds of Sanctuary, exploring new lands and bringing the icy winds of Northrend to a whole new world. Invincible Aspect in the Diablo 4 StoreInvincible Aspect costs 2,500 platinum, or $24.99 USD. Sadly without flight capabilities (the people of Sanctuary like to keep their feet on the ground), Invincible Aspect is still the same mount we know and love, complete with icy Lich King styled particles.

Spider-Man 2 has only recently hit shelves but already Insomniac is thinking about the future. The first Spider-Man game received a spin-off, Miles Morales, so it’s natural to wonder whether the sequel will also feature a sequel, perhaps this time starring Venom. According to senior narrative director Jon Paquette, Insomniac is waiting to see how the fans react before they decide on the direction of a possible spinoff.

Minecraft is once again proving its relevance with another patch. Not bad for a game that released way back in 2009!

The upcoming survival gameLord of the Rings: Return to Moria has gone gold, meaning it’s very close to the end of its production cycle and almost ready for release. But, to coincide with the setting of the game, the development team Free Range Games has referred to this process as going “mithril.”

The trickiest collectible in Spider-Man 2 are the Spider-Bots. These annoying hidden robots are found all over New York City, buzzing with a purple glow. Frustratingly, they don’t appear anywhere on your map even if you’ve discovered them. Finding them all is a real pain, so we’ve put together a guide showing where to find each set of Spider-Bots. Each district has 3-4 Spider-Bots to find, and finding them all leads to a very, very obscure secret. Complete the most arduous collect-a-thon and unlock the ‘Funky Wireless Protocols‘ trophy with the full locations guide below.

Black Desert’s Biggest Expansion Land of the Morning Light is now available for Android users! This much-awaitedexpansionpromises many things. Based on Korean folklore with an amazing storyline and visuals, this expansion by the famed studio, Pearl Abyss, is being hailed as the BDM’s biggest update yet. The plot is carried by an assembly of new characters. Additionally, it also offers new locations to explore that are filled with bosses to be vanquished. Another main addition includes the tale of the Woosa Awakening class.

The Epic Games Store is bleeding money, but it's also still bleeding free games, and a couple of good ones are on the line right now. This week you can pick up The Evil Within, the hit survival horror game headed up by original Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami, and next week it'll be the sequel, The Evil Within 2. This is the first time that either of The Evil Within games have gone free on Epic, so you'll probably want to grab them while you can.

We're just heading into the last chunk of 2023, but Marvel Comics is already looking ahead to next year with the release of the publisher's January 2024 solicitations.

Space Tales is a new real-time strategy game from Vietnam-based Saigon Dragon, who worked with Numantian Games to develop the brilliant They Are Billions. In They Are Billions, you scraped together walls and turrets to hold off a world's worth of undead, and prolong the miserable lives of a tiny handful of non-zombified humans at your settlement's core. Space Tales is breezier of demeanour - like the confusingly named 2014 RTS Space Rogue, it takes inspiration from 1940s retro-futurism, with brightly coloured maps and chunky chrome unit design. But there are similarly grim overtones. The game puts you in charge of a Starship Troopers-esque expeditionary force, carving out secure nooks on very-much-inhabited alien planets and flogging them as holiday destinations.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2's audio director used interesting techniques to get the sound of a bustling New York City in the Spidey sequel.

This Christmas Sherlock co-creator Mark Gatiss brings a new ghostly short to the BBC starring Game of Thrones’ Kit Harrington and Pride's Freddie Fox. 

A new trend that literally only exists to break all of our hearts is currently doing the rounds on Twitter, and I don't know how many more posts I can handle.

The Epic Games Store is going all-in with survival horror for its free games during Halloween this year, as next week you'll be able to grab a copy of The Evil Within 2. Up for keeps alongside it will be puzzle platformer Tandem: A Tale of Shadows.

When it comes to classic cartoons, few eras get better than the 90s. That might sound strange, given some of the all-time classics that have been going on in the last decade, and that doesn’t even include anime, as that’s an entirely different beast. But the 90s were a period of great fun and experimentation, where people took risks to make incredible shows and didn’t hesitate to make them dramatic and fun. That’s why so many of those tales got video game adaptations. Fast forward to now, and one of those adaptations has been reborn. We speak of Gargoyles Remastered!

The Epic Games Store’s next free titles have been announced.

Warframe’ s Abyss of Dagath update is now live, bringing a fittingly spooky new Warframe to add to your roster. Also in the update are companion reworks, Grendel Prime, the Hydroid rework, and new zone.

UFOs - sorry, UAP - are so hot right now. Ever since the reveal of the infamous "Tic Tac" video a few years back the conversation around Unidentified Flying Objects has been heated, to say the least. 

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a finite game; after the player works their way through the massive campaign, there’s no battle pass, no ongoing challenges, and no bonus content. It’s a one-and-done game, and while the campaign is an enormous one with plenty of meat on the bone, you might expect fans to move on after they see the credits. Instead, people are returning for multiple playthroughs, creating fan art and animatics, and crafting in-depth character theories. Baldur’s Gate 3 has done an incredible job at building a fandom, and it’s leading to the game’s long-term success.

A Runescape player asked the Old School RuneScape (OSRS) subreddit what should have been a very simple, straightforward question (thanks, GamesRadar). Being the internet, they sure didn't give them a simple or straightforward answer.

An Insomniac Games developer has chimed in on recent internet chatter to confirm that there aren’t any hidden load times when fast traveling in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. 

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has explained the delay in getting Activision Blizzard's back catalogue added to Xbox Game Pass, and blamed the hold-up on the lengthy and difficult process of sealing the deal.

Before the release of Alan Wake 2 later this month, Epic Games is offering Fortnite players the chance to experience a much-needed recap of the terrifying survival horror game. 

Fortnite is always ever-changing. It seems you can't go a day without something happening in the battle royale, be that a new battle pass, the addition of different character skins or even the return of the old fan-favourite Fortnite map.

Half-Life and Doom. I struggle to think of two games that have influenced me more. Between the iconic, flickering corridors of Valve’s Black Mesa and the run-and-gun fury of id Software’s defining FPS, my own taste in videogames is irredeemably shaped by these giants of PC history. Without Half-Life, there would be no Counter-Strike 2, no Portal, no Left 4 Dead – maybe even no Steam. Take Doom out of the equation, and the shooter as we know it might never have existed. Now, Gordon Freeman and Doomguy are finally united, thanks to an imaginative new Doom mod that incorporates the instantly recognizable sounds and effects from Valve’s 1998 classic. It’s not exactly Half-Life 3, but it’s a heck of a substitute.

If you're super-excited for the release of Alan Wake 2 later this month, but can't quite recall the events of the first game (entirely reasonably seeing as the original version came out over a decade ago), Fortnite of all places might have the answer. Epic has whacked a free playable 20-minute Alan Wake recap episode that should serve as a refresher while offering a bit of spooky battery gobbling fun along the way.

A lot of chatter is going on right now about a certain franchise from NetherRealm Studios. It’s not hard to see why, either. They just released a new game last month that has been doing very well, unless you’re on the Nintendo Switch, and they have a live-action movie sequel that is coming out eventually. They also just released a new mobile game that fans might be interested in. However, fans should check out another adaptation of the franchise. There have been a string of animated films recently, and Mortal Kombat Legends Cage Match is the latest to join the line.

Much like movies and TV shows, there's no shortage of video games based on comic books. Among the series that is soon getting its own video game adaptation is the Invincible series written by Robert Kirkman, best known for The Walking Dead series, which ran from 2003 until 2018 that was adapted into an animated TV Show now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. While the main series is focused on Mark Grayson as he balances his school life while fighting evil across different dimensions, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve focuses on one of the central characters of the universe, Atom Eve, another high schooler who possesses the power to alter matter with her mind.

There always tends to be one toy every holiday season that's more in demand than any other, making it almost impossible to find. I remember a Christmas when the Buzz Lightyear action figure was that toy, and that may well have just shown my age. Two months out, it looks like 2023's in-demand holiday toy is going to be Pokemon Squishmallows. They continue to sell out almost instantly, regardless of which one gets restocked, so if you've been waiting for a Piplup, you better act fast.

Lies of P has sold one million copies since going on sale last month, publisher Neowiz has said.

South Korean developer NEOWIZ announced that its Soulslike game Lies of P has managed to sell more than one million units in less than a month from its release. It is undoubtedly an impressive figure for a new IP, and doubly so since the game is available on Game Pass.

It's not cool when a retailer leak blows a big game announcement. Just ask Bethesda, which saw its surprise Rage 2 announcement spoiled by an errant Walmart Canada listing. (I bet Pete Hines is still steamed about that.) But you know what might be even more frustrating? When your own gear store does it.

After weeks of leaks and rumours, Intel has officially announced its 14th Generation of Core desktop CPUs, starting with a total of six new models. There's the Core i9 14900K, i7 14700K and i5 14600K, along with KF variants missing the iGPU component. Prices for each one are the same as the previous generation and you're getting a bit more clock speed, an update to the i7 configuration, and that's mostly it.

“Those slavering jaws; the lolling tongue; the rime of saliva on the grizzled chops.”

Apple enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of a revamped 24-inch iMac, and the latest buzz suggests it might finally make its debut. It will likely be powered by Apple's in-house M2 and M2 Pro chips. Recent reports from Japanese Apple blog MacOtakara have shed light on Apple's plans for this anticipated iMac release. While it's no secret that Apple has been on a roll with its M-series chips, the 24-inch iMac is expected to bring some much-needed upgrades to the table. These enhancements are rumoured to include Thunderbolt 4 ports, the latest Bluetooth 5.3 technology, and support for Wi-Fi 6E. Moreover, Apple enthusiasts can look forward to having the option of choosing between M2 and M2 Pro configurations, 9to5Mac reported.

A few months back Samsung launched its most anticipated foldable smartphone, which created a buzz among tech enthusiasts. Now, Samsung has surprised everyone and has unveiled a new and vibrant addition to this foldable smartphone lineup. It has introduced the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 in a striking yellow color. This announcement comes just in time for the festive season, offering consumers more choices for their ultimate pocketable device. Let's take a look at what Samsung offers with this model.

When it comes to video game sales, there are very few titles that operate on the same stratosphere as Minecraft. The timeless sandbox game has shown its dominance yet again with an announcement from Mojang revealing that it has sold 300 million copies, helping it retain its position as one of the bestselling games of all time.

Despite Apple's silence regarding its new generation of iPads, tipsters have given us a hint of what may be packed into the new iPad mini, iPad Pro, and its entry-level iPad. However, the launch date for the iPad has not yet been revealed by the company, but analysts believe that the announcement may take place this week and the event will be solely based on the upcoming iPad models. Know all about the Apple iPad announcements here.

What a purrfect start to the festive season! Super Cat Tales: PAWS takes you through a spook-tober with themed quests and mini-games to get you ready for Halloween. This update introduces plenty of new things to collect and do, but only for a limited time!

This week on Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson came full circle. Just two years after departing the sketch series, Davidson returned to host the show and took the opportunity to look inward. It’s a bit of a trend for the actor, though this time the therapeutic comedy came in the form of Pete Davidson-themed parody of Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” from Barbie.

Last time I checked on season 2 ofOur Flag Means Death, Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard (Taika Waititi) were rekindling their love. But, per the SAG-AFTRA strike rules, Darby, Con O’ Neill (Blackbeard’s first mate Izzy), Vico Ortiz (Jim Jimenez), Nathan Foad (Stede’s scribe, Lucius Sprigg), Kristian Nairn (Wee John Feeney), and Matthew Maher (the sassy Black Pete) couldn’t chatter about the quarrels faced by their lovable band of pirates at New York Comic Con 2023.

Where does the time go? Asterigos: Curse of the Stars was released a year ago, and, fittingly enough, just got a meaty patch in the form of a free Anniversary Update, and we've got the trailer to prove it.

A new trailer for Tales of Arise: Beyond the Dawn has arrived. The expansion is out in just under a month, and as the name suggests, it depicts a world that's busy rebuilding after the events of the main game. This latest video shows a bit more of what you'll be doing in the DLC outside of its central story, with quests that detail the post-credit happenings of characters and cities. It also looks like Alphen and the gang will be called upon to help with the aforementioned rebuild.
