Watch Dogs Movie: Hunger Games Prequel’s Tom Blyth Joins Sophie Wilde

It’s been a busy June for gamers. Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, and Summer Game Fest all held dedicated video game showcases over the past month. It’s the most exciting time of year for the video game industry as we get updates on highly anticipated games, get stoked for newly revealed games, and learn more about when some games we are looking forward to will launch. For work and for pleasure, I have watched all five of these major video game showcases and have a lot of feelings on each.

Say what you will about Ubisoft, it knows how to dish out decent post-release support. There’s only so many articles we can write here at Push Square, so we’ll gloss over some additional news to make our point: For Honor, now over eight years old, is still getting meaningful content updates on PS4. That gives you some kind of indication of just how strongly the French firm supports its games.

Treyarch has discussed how Black Ops 6’s inclusion on Game Pass is impacting the final stretch of the new Call of Duty game’s development.

The latest Ubisoft Forward showcase is taking place today and you’ll be able to watch it live right here.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 will be released on Game Pass on day one, but the content available to subscribers will vary depending on their membership tier.

Microsoft has announced the next mainline entry in the Gears of War series.

Following the announcement that Nightdive Studios is remastering the 2002 game, which was based in the world of John Carpenter's horror movie of the same name, could it be time to revisit some of the other movie tie-ins of the PlayStation 2 era? Up until the 2010s, movie tie-in games were regularly pumped out by studios looking to capitalize on a popular blockbuster's release, with practically every major cinematic franchise being represented in some capacity, and while these often varied in quality, there were some diamonds among all the rubbish.

Enough moons ago to qualify as quite a lot of moons but not so much for me to categorise them as ‘many’, Alice Bee wrote about an Itch game called Kevin Costner’s Waterworld - a fully playable extrapolation of a Simpsons’ joke from three decades ago. Simpsons jokes from three decades making up most of my sense of humour, I of course thought it was brilliant. And yet, I couldn’t shake a singular, burning question: What if this, but not joke? Enter Tides Of Tomorrow. Ok, so I actually don't know if it has anything in common with Waterworld aside from having lots of water everywhere. Still, I'll never pass up an opportunity for a crispy Simpsons reference.

Summer Game Fest 2024’s kick-off show is taking place on Friday and you’ll be able to watch it live here.

Following the theatrical release of last year’s The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, franchise is officially receiving another prequel novel titled Sunrise on the Reaping from bestselling author Suzanne Collins.
