Fortnite’s Star Wars-centric season has had some exciting moments, with TIE-Fighter-versus-X-Wing dogfights, lightsaber battles, and Samuel L. Jackson. But a new update Friday takes the cake: Emperor Palpatine has finally entered his disco era. The update added four so-called “Super Styles” to the skins in this season’s Battle Pass, giving some added flair to Poe Dameron and a few other Star Wars-inspired Fortnite characters. But no one gets a bigger...
Netflix is looking to David Leitch to direct its Gears of War film, with the two parties currently in negotiations, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Outside of helming the film, the Deadpool 2 director and his wife, Kelly McCormick, are attached to the film as producers through their company 87North Productions.

Rihanna’s new single “Friend of Mine” has song of the summer written all over it, if you are like me, and only value tracks written for Smurf cartoons that aspire to be the next Trolls. I am sad to report to the haters that “Friend of Mine” is, unquestionably, a bop. Since hearing the words “Rihanna is Smurfette” in 2023 I have been greatly anticipating Paramount Pictures’ new 3D-animated Smurfs...

There are videos of people spawning in dozens of ships and explosions that cause their...
No matter what reactions a Hideo Kojima game elicits from you, we can all appreciate swinging for the fences. Death Stranding is the sort of game that, in our profoundly risk-averse business, should have never gotten the sizable Sony-backed budget it did, but such is the power of Kojima's name.Still, I have to imagine someone at Sony broke a sweat when they learned they were funding a delivery simulator that's...
Avowed follows the classic RPG rubric for enemy types and is therefore full of spiders. It's also full of bears for some reason, but, trust me, there are lots of spiders. That means anyone who can't stand spiders couldn't play what is a pretty killer RPG.Thankfully it's becoming more and more common for games to add arachnophobia modes as part of their post-launch support, and Avowed will be no different....

In a post on X earlier today, visual artist Antireal said that Marathon's environment art uses design elements pulled directly from her 2017 poster designs."Bungie is of course not obligated to hire me when making a game that draws overwhelmingly from the same design language I have refined for the last...
