Lee Jung-jae says Netflix’s Squid Game season 2 hits in late 2024, but he’s focusing on The Acolyte for now

Today is a big day for No Rest for the Wicked, the action RPG from Moon Studios. The stunning fantasy game has been in Steam Early Access for a little over three months, and while updates were initially fast and furious, things have slowed down a fair bit. That was intentional, as the developer shifted…

Hasbro has announced through a recent earnings report that Monopoly Go – the immensely popular video game from Scopely – has brought in over 3 billion dollars in revenue since its release in April last year. That’s over 15 million times past go, folks. An absurd amount of money. This continues a trend of wild…

A new Elden Ring boss may have just dropped in the real world, after people much smarter than me have discovered that Komodo dragons — the largest (living) lizard out there, that we know of — have iron-coated teeth. This is metal as f**k, if you ask me. Komodo dragons are renowned Apex predators, and…

Video game voice actors represented by SAG-AFTRA – one of America’s biggest actors’ unions – are going on strike. After over a year of negotiations with some of the biggest western publishers including Activision Blizzard, EA, and Take Two, negotiations have reached a standstill over one of the more controversial points of debate: AI. AI…

We’re coming up on the end of Season 4 of Diablo 4, which really only means Blizzard is ready to talk a little more about Season 5. This is exactly what we’re getting next week in the upcoming developer update livestream. Today, Blizzard announced the date, times and everything else we can expect the developer…

FromSoftware has announced that Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, has surpassed 3 million units sold, a fantastic milestone for a franchise that previously firmly existed in the ocean of niche video game franchises. The game is just under one year old by the time of this announcement, which certainly isn’t bad pace for a…

Stalker 2‘s release has had to be pushed back again, it’s now pencilled in to arrive on November 20, with the previously planned September release date having been abandoned in order to give the game’s developers “the chance to fix more ‘unexpected anomalies’ (or simply ‘bugs’, as you call them)”. If you’re out of the…

Zenless Zone Zero maintains its iron-grip on the gacha genre and gaming industry as a whole, but while most players are at home having fun on their PCs or mobile phones, one player has taken it to another level. As posted on Reddit, user MiamiUkrainian has managed to get the game running on an old…

To say Top Gun: Maverick was a massive hit back in 2022 is an understatement. It landed a 96% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and went on to shockingly earn almost $1.5 billion worldwide after one of the longest theatrical runs of the post-pandemic era. Of course, Paramount Pictures wants to keep the now-series going,…

Ok, you remember that Aspects of the Crucible: Thorns incantation FromSoft showed off as part of the official images for Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree we got long before it came out. Yeah, the one that turns your Tarnished into a hedgehog, kinda? Well, someone’s now beaten the entirety of the base game and…

You know, when I first booted up Monster Train back in 2020, I rolled my eyes. “Oh, a Slay the Spire clone, is it?” I chided. But within about 10 minutes, Monster Train had completely derailed all those pithy little putdowns that were gestating in the back of my head. In under half an hour,…

DLC-sized Fallout 4 mod Fallout: London has finally dropped today, July 25, and is out now. After delays had pushed the mod – the cast of which includes the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3‘s Neil Newbon and even a former Speaker of the UK’s House of Commons – back to April this year, Fallout 4‘s…

You might not remember it, but in early 2022, Netflix and 2K jointly announced the BioShock movie was back from the dead and in active development. Later that year, we learned that Francis Lawrence (of I Am Legend and The Hunger Games fame) would be directing. Now, that’s looking more and more unlikely. Up until…

If you’re a fan of sandbox mining and crafting games, you’ve likely heard of Core Keeper. You may have even played it since it entered Steam Early Access over two years ago. Either way, the popular cozy spelunking adventure is about to reach a major milestone. Core Keeper will finally graduate out of Steam Early…

Monster Hunter Now is good. Long-time readers of the site will know my opinion on the game from the often-gushing articles I’ve published over the past year. But from Summer Game Fest 2023, when I first played the game and fell in love, Niantic has improved the mobile title immeasurably. Initially, the roster of monsters…

Everyone loves Radahn! Perhaps one of the most memorable bosses in Elden Ring is a fan favourite among players and far-flung spectators alike. But if you’re still hungry for some time with FromSoftware’s beloved horse rider you can spend an indefinate amount of time with the bloke in an unexpected game: League of Legends. This…

Over 500 World of Warcraft developers at Blizzard have come together to form a union, narrowly missing out on pipping the Bethesda staff who did the same late last week to the post, but it’s ok, there was never anything other than a a bit of “friendly” competition between the two. This Blizzard union is…

With Deadpool & Wolverine now rolling out in theaters worldwide and many Marvel fans revisiting the two characters’ past solo adventures, it makes sense that we’d hear something from Logan director James Mangold, who tried to wrap up Hugh Jackman’s run as Wolverine back in 2017 at 20th Century Fox. Unsurprisingly, he doesn’t have kind…

Sony has begun rolling out a new PlayStation 5 firmware update beta, and it’s one with somewhat of an unusual set of features. The new beta mainly includes three features that enhance what’s already there in interesting new ways. Perhaps the most interesting (and longest in development) is the ability for the PS5 to create…

After Five Nights at Freddy’s success on the big screen, it only makes sense that Hollywood studios are scrambling to find the next hit which may convince Generation Alpha to leave their computers and phones for a bit and visit the nearest cinema. However, trying to make a franchise out of the brain-rotting viral Internet…

Even as Ultimate Team in EA Sports FC 25 seems to be making strides towards becoming less frustrating with Duplicate Storage, more casual Friendlies, and stronger rewards, it also continues to get increasingly monetised – this year with a paid premium season pass on top of its packs. I’ve played Manager Career Mode for almost…

Uh oh, despite all the hype, Deadpool & Wolverine appears to be doing more or less just as badly with critics as DC’s mess of a Flash movie. Last year, despite all of the reasons it shouldn’t have, Warner Bros. decided to release the absolute trainwreck that was The Flash. It was meant to be…

A deep dive into the gameplay of EA Sports FC 25, the next iteration of EA’s recently renamed series about kicking it in the goal, is set to arrive on July 25, and you can watch it here. This follows the reveal trailer for the follow-up to EA Sports FC 24 arriving last week, bringing…

Ever wanted to see a crossover between Naruto and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? You’re in luck, because it’s happening! If there’s one thing I know about Naruto and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it’s that they’re both ninjas. I mean, it’s kinda both their whole things, with Naruto wanting to be the best one…

Some Japanese government ministries have responded to a request for their views on Assassin’s Creed Shadows‘s apparent historical inaccuracies. Basically, their responses don’t exactly comprise part of a big or heated debate, all they’ve seemigly done is either decline to comment, or wheel out their generic response when it comes to video games. If you’re…

It looks like Monster Hunter: Wilds is skipping portable gaming platforms – including the Nintendo Switch – due to the technical limitations of the hardware. This was stated in a stakeholders meeting in response to a question asking about the game’s absence from consoles like the Nintendo Switch. The response reads as follows, “One concept…

I hope you’re ready for blood sucking, fancy shirt tucking, and a whole lot of- well, you know, because What We Do in the Shadows season 6 is just a few months away. All good things must come to an end, or so the saying goes, even though you don’t always want them to. But,…
