Among Us cast and creator says you don't have to be a fan of the game to enjoy the show, but there are Easter eggs for players
Move aside The Last of Us and Fallout, there’s a new video game TV adaptation in town based on the highly popular online multiplayer Among Us. However, the creator of the new series says you don’t have to have played the game to enjoy the new project.”I think anyone who played the game is going to love it. I also think that anyone who wants to watch an animated TV show, or a mystery, or comedy, it works outside of just being a game adaptation,” says Owen Dennis to GamesRadar+. “I don’t want to make things that are just an…
Gears of War: E-Day is no longer coming to PlayStation 5 consoles, according to a gaming industry insider.The claim comes from Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb during Giant Bomb @ Nite Day 2. During the stream, Grubb said: “Gears of War: E-Day was gonna be on PS5. It’s not anymore. That just happened. That is a decision that just got made.”“They’re going backwards on this stuff,” Grubb continued. “They were like ‘this battle doesn’t make any sense’, now they’re like, ‘exclusives!’ To what, sell another 20 million Xboxes?”IGN’s Michael Higham chimed in with a joking remark; “It’s like E-Day for PlayStation…

The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web. Sundays are for recovering after a late night of trailerblogging and oop, no, wait, there’s another two full-length showcases just this evening. It’s too late for me, readers, but you can save yourselves with some more thoughtful, maybe even calming reads on games and not-games. I bet none of them even have the words “great experience for our players.”
Silent Hill 2 remake studio Bloober has just revealed Saw: Genesis, an asymmetrical, 3v1 horror multiplayer game it’s publishing based on Lionsgate’s Saw movie franchise at Summer Game Fest 2026.

Fumito Ueda is one of the most respected auteurs in gaming. And like most influential creators, the Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian director won’t be rushed.But don’t call him a perfectionist.“I never go into a project thinking that I’m going to take a lot of time,” he tells VGC at Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, following the reveal of his latest game, the sci-fi title Gen Atlas, a decade after his last title released for PlayStation 4, which itself came a decade after the previous.“Personally, I do want to make games as fast and to…
Stellar Blade 2 is actually Stellar Blade: Blood Rain – it's in "the same universe" but looks nothing like the first game and has a new protagonist
Stellar Blade: Blood Rain has given us the Stellar Blade 2 announcement we were looking for.Revealed at tonight’s Summer Game Fest live show, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain “will continue the story beyond the events of the first game and introduce a new protagonist, Evie,” per the trailer blurb. I look forward to getting Evie confused with Eve, and also the Pokemon Eevee.SGF host Geoff Keighley notes that the game takes place in “the same universe” as the original Stellar Blade, but it sure looks completely different, from Evie’s fighting style to the world around her. The trailer begins in a…
Among Us TV show creator explains why Paramount decided to shadow drop the new video game adaptation: "People like surprises"
Surprise! As announced at Summer Game Fest, a new animated TV adaptation of Among Us has shadow-dropped on Paramount Plus, which seems strange in an industry currently obsessed with teasing the life out of every single project (just see the Spider-Man Brand: New Day 24-hour trailer event). However, creator Owen Dennis says shadow dropping the series makes sense, as it’s just one more surprise the who-dunnit has up its sleeve.”People like surprises,” Dennis tells GamesRadar+. “The whole show is full of surprises. That’s what we did. Make the show full of surprises, and then surprise people to get into the…
