Activision’s long-gestating, live-action Call of Duty movie finally has a release date.Paramount announced a June 30, 2028 release date during its presentation at CinemaCon (H/T The Hollywood Reporter). Peter Berg is set to direct, write, and produce the film alongside Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan, who will also write and produce.”I told everyone we were only going to make a movie if its right. In David Ellison, we found that partnership,” producer Rob Kostich, also president of Activision, said during the panel. “We want to make sure that the authenticity of it is captured on a human level so that it…
Ubisoft Montpellier made an outstanding Metroidvania game in 2024’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and its publisher, big Ubisoft, rewarded it by dissolving the team. I know what you’re thinking – the company is so thoughtful. It might, at least, be becoming more sentimental, as French journalist Gauthier “Gautoz” Andres reports Ubisoft Montpellier was just authorized to regroup.Andres, the founder of indie French media site Origami, shares in a Bluesky post translated by GamesRadar+, “A little bird told me the core team behind Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown has received the green light from Ubisoft to reform and…
I never thought I’d see Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Animal Crossing mentioned in the same breath, but now that I have, it actually makes plenty of sense. If you can get past all the murder, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and its GOTY-deserving sequel are actually remarkably cozy games. I’ve probably spent an accumulative dozens of hours hanging out in taverns playing dice, drinking with locals, and brewing potions. When I’m not fast-travelling across Bohemia to farm bandit encounters, I’m probably doing one of the above activities, because again, this is a seriously chill game when it wants to be.It’s the exact,…
A brand new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday premiered at CinemaCon… introduced by none other than Robert Downey Jr.In the two-minute trailer, we once again see the ruins of the X-Mansion. Professor Xavier watches in horror as flames appear in the sky. We hear who we think is Doctor Doom say, “Something’s coming, something we may not be able to deter…” The trailer cuts to the New Avengers tower, in which the Fantastic Four are introduced to Bucky, Ant-Man, and Captain America. Thor tells the group that they must stand together, or everything they sacrificed “will be for nothing.”In another cool…
Right, how about a little Stop Killing Games progress update? Earlier today, a public hearing was held today that included three European parliament committees, IMCO, JURI and PETI, discussing the European Citizens Initiative Stop Destroying Videogames. Both Stop Killing Games founder Ross Scott and group organiser Moritz Katzner made an appearance at the hearing, which you can watch in full here, with the pair hosting a press conference (or as Katzner put it a “fancy Twitch stream”) to discuss how it went. Bottom line: in their eyes, good! “I think absolutely incredible,” Katzner shared when asked by Scott…
Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu | Final Trailer | In Theaters May 22 – YouTube Watch On Fresh from CinemaCon, Disney and Lucasfilm have released a brand new The Mandalorian and Grogu trailer. But if you were hoping this ‘final’ look at the upcoming Star Wars movie would give even the smallest hint about the film’s plot, then we’ve got bad news…In the trailer, which you can watch above, Din Djarin and his force-sensitive ward, Grogu, are now in the employ of Sigourney Weaver’s Colonel Ward. “I only take out Imperial War Criminals… I’ll take out every bad guy…
As trendy as it’s sort of become as a feature, photography modes in most games don’t interest me much. They’ve either got too much freedom, making the act of taking photos boring, or so many limitations it hardly feels like photography at all. Limitations are good! You can’t get good photos without them, I just prefer having an actual lens, even a digital one, to look through. So whenever a game that’s actually about photography, like Opus: Prism Peak (which is out today), rocks up, my curiosity will always be a little bit piqued. Previously described as a…
Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty has very casually revealed a genuinely encouraging update on the new Fable game: Blizzard is going to be “helping out” with the reboot’s cinematics.This is fantastic news. Blizzard cinematics have been best-in-class for literal decades. I’ll never forget seeing the original Diablo’s intro cinematic on my 1997-era CRT monitor and thinking video games would never look better, and to this day, Diablo 4’s recent Lord of Hatred animations have been blowing me away. I was surprised, then, that Booty made such little fanfare about tagging in Blizzard to help out Playground Games’ with Fable…
To be a live service game, in any shape or form, is to seemingly make some kind of agreement to eventually make some kind of licensing deal. And it is happening again. This time with Phasmophobia and, to its credit, the quite thematically appropriate Alan Wake 2, which is coming to the co-op horror game as part of a limited-time event. How limited-time you ask? Well, it kicks off on May 12th, next month, and runs until June 2nd, so very limited. Not only is it for such a short period of time, but according to the announcement…
At Capcom, Hiroyuki Kobayashi helped build franchises like Dino Crisis and Devil May Cry, as well as original games such as P.N.03 and Killer7. Now, more than 25 years after his first credited game (as a programmer on Resident Evil 1), the producer is relishing the challenge of creating an original IP once again.“Since this is not part of an existing franchise, everything started from zero,” Kobayashi told VGC in a recent interview. “The studio itself was also built from the ground up, including the development environment and assembling the team.“It certainly came with its challenges, but through that process,…
