Rise of the Ronin may be a little shy over a month out from its release on PlayStation 5, but that isn’t stopping the action RPG's sales from outpacing its spiritual predecessors, Nioh and Nioh 2.

A fifth season of True Detective is on the way from Night Country creator Issa López – and the filmmaker is keeping it vague when it comes to prior season connections.
"It might, or not, be connected to Ennis," López said during the Deadline TV Contenders panel. "We will see."
True Detective: Night Country, the fourth installment in the HBO anthology series, follows detectives Liz Danvers (Jodie Foster) and Evangeline Navarro (Kali Reis), as they are tasked with solving the mystery of six men who, while operating the Tsalal Artice Research Station in Alaska, vanish without a trace. Fiona Shaw, Finn Bennett, John Hawkes, Christopher Eccleston, Isabella Star LaBlanc, Dervla Kirwan, Anna Lambe, Joel D. Montgrand, and Owen McDonnell also star.
Night Country became the most-watched of the entire series, with a total of 12.7 million cross-platform viewers, and was swiftly renewed for a fifth season with López at the helm. The director referred to the show as the "most beautiful collaboration and adventure of my entire creative life," adding that HBO trusted her vision "all the way."
Despite each season being a standalone story, season 4 has slight connections to season 1 – which starred Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson as two detectives tasked with investigating the 1995 murder of Dora Lange.
All episodes of True Detective: Night Country are available to watch now on Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK. Across the pond, you can find it on HBO's streaming service Max. Check out our guide to the True Detective season 4 ending explained for more.

The Dead Boy Detectives are a cult favorite that never quite found a cult. Introduced in the pages of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, the undeniable strength of the premise — a ghost boy from the 1910s is best friends with a ghost boy from the 1990s; they solve ghost mysteries! — regularly lures in comics creators, but rarely for longer than a single story arc every five to 10 years.
As a story about stories, it’s no wonder that Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman would have some characters that other creators would want to pick up and play with. Sandman spinoff comics have starred Dream’s sister Death, the strange denizens of the Dreaming, and even Lucifer himself, leading to the the cult success of an entire LuciferTV series years before a Netflix series adapting The Sandman itself.

Five years after LawBreakers shut down, we're getting to play the gravity-defying multiplayer FPS again thanks to fans. LawBreakers was the first game from Boss Key Productions, a studio co-founded by Gears Of Wars lead designer Cliff Bleszinski, and it had delightful ultraviolence beneath its uninspiring genric look. Alas, it did not sell well. Boss Key closed less than a year after launch, and the game soon followed. But after years of work, a group of fans this weekend successfully ran the first public test for a workaround to play the game again. While there's no clear launch plan yet, more playtesting will follow.
