All of DC Comics’ Absolute titles have been swinging for the fences. The line, featuring classic characters reinvented for a darker universe than the main DC timeline, has been packed with stellar work. This past Wednesday, though, the final pages (or… page?) of Absolute Martian Manhunter #1 took things to a whole new level. Writer Deniz Camp and artist Javier Rodríguez wrapped their series launch with an art trick that...
Mortal Kombat has invaded Fortnite, introducing its characters and locations into the Chapter 6 Season 2 map. Three new Mortal Kombat themed landmarks have been added to the Chapter 6 Season 2 map: The Pit, The Living Forest, and The Dead Pool. The only problem is that these locations aren’t marked on the Fortnite map, so they can be particularly hard to find. To make your search easier, we’ve marked...
Last month we saw quite a few adventure games spring into action. What game from last month’s lineup was a fresh start? Some of the big new releases included Assassin’s Creed Shadows, MLB The Show 25, Hitman World of Assassination (PS VR2), and Split Fiction. How does it work? At the end of every month, PlayStation Blog will open a poll where you can vote for the best new game...
Chengnan An, the lead game designer on Honkai: Star Rail, has worked at parent studio Hoyoverse for a little over nine years, first on Honkai Impact 3rd, and then on the current sci-fi RPG. That means An has been present for much of the company’s worldwide meteoric rise; Honkai Impact 3rd (2016) was an early hit with international audiences that would soon be eclipsed by Genshin Impact (2020). And yet...
Notre Dame is cleaner than we’ve ever seen it before. That’s what stood out to Maxime Durand, Ubisoft’s resident historian, when he saw photos of the newly restored nave. “It’s the first time that we can actually see the full monument with this splendor,” he told Polygon. “Since the industrial revolution, the air pollution has affected the color of any landmark in Europe, and Notre Dame was part of that....

Forget the number of hours it takes for a game to “get good” — how am I spending the first 15 minutes? Call me impatient, but a game’s opening seconds, even those introductory moments as a character comes alive or a world opens up, are make-or-break for how far I am willing to soldier on into what could be 20, 30, or 100 hours of play. So what a relief...
Monster Hunter Wilds has been keeping me busy since its drop a few weeks back. I’m working on boosting my hunter rank in the high-rank environments, and vacillating quickly on which new armor set I’m going to craft next. (Right now I’m hunting gnarly Jin Dahaad, but the armor-plated Gravios armor — perfect for my hammer build — might have stolen my attention.) There’s a lot to do in Wilds,...
Death of a Unicorn, a monster flick in which two enraged, predatory unicorns chomp and stomp through a mansion’s worth of exploitative, rich assholes, seems as far as possible from the classic vibe of unicorns as fragile, rare, gently magical creatures. It’s equally as far from the more contemporary My Little Pony-clutching Horse Girl vibe around unicorn-associated concepts: sparkles, rainbows, and friendship. But in practice, the movie retains an emotional...
