Black Widow may be biding time until a pandemic-pushed November release date, but director Cate Shortland is already teasing how the debut solo outing of Scarlett Johansson’s Marvel Cinematic Universe veteran is also set as a springboard for Florence Pugh’s debuting character, Yelena Belova. Of course, the timing of Black Widow remains curious, seeing as it follows 2019’s Avengers: Endgame [SPOILER ahead, if, for some earthly reason, you haven’t seen it by now], in which Johansson’s Natasha Romanova/Black Widow traveled with Clint Barton/Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) to the planet Vormir, where she sacrificed herself to attain the Soul Stone....

Speaking to PC Gamer, Blizzard president J. Allen Brack justified the developer’s stance regarding Blitszchung’s Hong Kong comments and the two casters involved. Over the weekend, Brack took to the BlizzCon stage and touched on the Hong Kong controversy once again. ‘We moved too quickly in our decision making and then to make matters worse, we were too slow to talk to all of you,’ he explained, and accepted accountability for the controversial reaction....

Blizzard has decided to put a “pause” on all BlizzCon plans, meaning that BlizzConline 2022 has been canceled as the company figures out what to do next. In a message, Blizzard wrote that it’s rethinking BlizzCon as a whole, and will strive for future events to feel “safe, welcoming, and inclusive as possible.” The announcement comes months after the company canceled BlizzCon for this year, citing concerns over the ongoing pandemic....

Now, we’re strictly through the looking glass here, friends, but it’s just possible that FromSoftware’s latest title is hinting at a Bloodborne sequel. On its release in March 2015, Bloodborne was a huge deal for all sorts of reasons. For one thing, it was a big exclusive for the PS4, which is something this console generation was sorely lacking early in its span. For another, it was simply a fantastic game, a gothic spiritual successor to Dark Souls that took the series (now branded Soulsborne) in new-yet-familiar directions....

Months after revealing that it’s working on the illustrious Boeing 757 for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Bluebird Simulations has finally provided an update on its progress. The team has been hard at work getting the bird together, and is happy to say that it’s “coming along nicely.” The Boeing 757 is occupies an interesting space in its class as a narrow-body jet, due to its powerful performance in addition to its lengthy aisle providing ample seating....

“I hate being the story,” Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly (Charlize Theron) grouses early on in Bombshell, long before Jay Roach’s biopic has even delved into the nitty-gritty of the sexual harassment allegations against Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. For the moment, Kelly is the subject of a Twitter attack by President Trump that puts her, instead of her work, in the national crosshairs. Despite her unease with being reported on instead of reporting, this bizarre incident indirectly influences what would become an unprecedented chain reaction within the conservative news network – a historical moment that would push women who stridently describe themselves as not feminists to take care of their own and utilise a whisper network in order to oust a sexual predator....

Borderlands 3 is the newest entry to the legendary Borderlands series, defining the looter-shooter genre in yet another iteration. Being a looter-shooter, Borderlands 3 is all about the guns. While some of Borderlands 3’s strongest weapons are available early on, there are many more weapons that can be gained throughout the game. Borderlands 3 gives players a chance to pick up the “Conference Call” Legendary shotgun. This gun was one of the most preferred weapons available in Borderlands 2, and its reputation is maintained in the follow-up....

We haven’t seen a game in the Fight Night series in 9 long years, but according to boxing promoter, Eddie Hearn, EA is currently “looking at” giving the series a revival. And given that we’re just 9 months out from a new generation of consoles, there’s a pretty good chance that a new Fight Night might pop up on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Eddie Hearn might be famous for scoring boxing’s first ever billion dollar deal, but the promoter seems to have some solid connections at EA as well....

Bungie has announced that it will reduce the amount of communication it has with its player base, due to threats levied at its staff. In a Reddit post (via VGC), one user complained about Bungie not talking to its players as much these days. Another user replied, “That’s what happens when developers receive harassment and death threats over a video game.” A Bungie community manager, who goes by the designation “Dmg04,” also spoke up:...

It’s been nearly 10 years since Halo: Combat Evolved was released as a launch title for the original Xbox. During the past decade, Bungie has released five games under the Halo umbrella, all of which have been both critically and financially successful. Now though, as Bungie moves on from the Halo franchise that has long been their calling card, the developer wants to change the way that people view them. Bungie wants to separate itself from the rest of the pack the same way that Blizzard and Valve have....

Pre-orders for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 are “significantly” higher than those for last year’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Activision has revealed. Speaking during last night’s earnings call, Eric Hirshberg, president and CEO, explained why the publisher is so confident about the game’s imminent launch. “We couldn’t be more excited about the launch this Friday,” said Hirshberg. “We have strong momentum indicated by a number of factors, but just to name a few: the growing engagement around the past Black Ops titles; the significant year-on-year lift in pre-orders; consumer sentiment around our marketing assets which is more positive for Black Ops III than any Call of Duty title on record; a great partnership with Sony across consumer, trade and custom PS4 bundles; and our ranking as Neilson’s Number One Most Anticipated Title of the Year....

Of the myriad objects in games, statues seem to be among the most frivolous. You can talk to or fight with beings of flesh and blood. You can explore buildings. You can climb or cut down trees, maybe even build a house with its timber. With a regular statue, the most exciting thing you can do on a good day is maybe walk around it. Why then are so many games scattered with statues so intricately designed and so prominently displayed that they distract the eye?...

Apex Legends has been giving the community a lot of content and patches as of late, which is an incredible thing.

Loadouts are part and parcel of the Warzone battle royale experience, but they work a little differently in its second iteration. Here’s what you need to know about whether there are loadouts in Warzone 2 and how to get them. Warzone 2 Loadouts Explained Yes, just as in the previous Warzone, there are loadouts in Warzone 2.

Originally destined to be a tentpole theatrical release in May, Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of the much loved Eoin Colfer books instead premieres as a Disney+ exclusive. It’s a shame in a way, since Branagh’s movie is colorful, kinetic, and highly cinematic with several rollicking set pieces and some Harry Potter-level world building. On the other hand, the streaming release does at least save fans of the books feeling cheated out of the price of a cinema ticket and a bucket of popcorn as well as a morally ambiguous and frequently ruthless main character....

As you continue to gear up for the accelerated November 10 release date of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, you might want to check out the latest story trailer from Ubisoft.
