The rumors about an Elden Ring movie seemed too specific not to be true, and sure enough, Bandai Namco confirmed today that it’s working with A24 on a live-action Elden Ring movie. The film will be written and directed by Alex Garland, best known for Civil War, Annihilation, and Ex Machina. He also wrote the…
The early reception for RoadCraft, the new driving sim from the developer of MudRunner and SnowRunner, was—like the washed-out roads of the game itself—a bit rocky. Day one “Mixed” reviews on Steam have improved the more players get their hands on it, and it’s now sporting a 71% “Mostly Positive” score—but not everyone is loving…
I’ve never been a huge Souls guy, and I’ve found the most hair-tearing-out element of FromSoftware’s acclaimed series has always been the fussy, esoteric multiplayer. Things are definitely simpler in that regard in the hotly anticipated Elden Ring follow-up Nightreign, but it comes with a catch. While it’s the first game in FromSoft’s catalog to…
Rather like the Death of Superman, it appears that the death of Super People was not as permanent as it was presented. After being shuttered for good in mid-2023, the ‘PUBG with superpowers’ battle royale has sprung back to life, and is planning to hold a closed beta test in June. Super People, developed by…

Somehow in that decade Rockstar still hasn’t finished GTA 6, but Benzies’ new studio, Build a Rocket Boy, is on the verge…
And Agent Dark is still going. Rare had a heck of a run on the Nintendo 64, and today we’re celebrating the anniversary of yet another of the studio’s classics — Perfect Dark. Joanna Dark made her debut on Nintendo’s 64-bit console on 22nd May 2000 in North America, with a European release following in…
CEO of Alphabet and Google Sundar Pichai gave the opening address at the 17th annual Google I/O developer conference this Tuesday, and used the opportunity to get all starry-eyed, and slightly dystopian, about the future of AI. “We are shipping faster than ever,” said Pichai (thanks, TheRegister). “We have announced over a dozen models and…
I’m a sucker for both retro side scrollers and stealth games, but since we’ve yet to get Mark of the Ninja 2 or some sort of Splinter Cell demake, I’ve rarely enjoyed the styles simultaneously. Thinking on it, though, they’re a natural fit for one another—after all, premiere blockbuster sneak ’em up Assassin’s Creed has…
Yesterday, things over on the Battlefield subreddit looked downright idyllic—or at least as idyllic as something can look when it’s packed full of footage of tanks toppling buildings and helicopters getting shot out of the sky. Thanks to a tidal wave of leaked Battlefield 6 footage, players were sharing their excitement about the series seemingly…
