Last month, Microsoft insider Brad Sams teased that the company was looking to make some more big acquisitions in 2021. Sams stopped short of revealing what those acquisitions would be, but apparently one possibility was Microsoft acquiring Gearbox Software. However, it seems as though Microsoft passed on acquiring the Borderlands developer (or failed to outbid Embracer Group), as Gearbox has been acquired by Embracer Group. Sams reacted to the Gearbox Software acquisition news by stating that he believes Microsoft “looked at” acquiring Gearbox, and that was indeed one of the companies that he was teasing....

With the delay of Halo Infinite to 2021, the Xbox Series X’s console launch was left without a major exclusive. Breaking decades of tradition, Xbox instead decided to make its Xbox Game Pass subscription service the focus instead, advertising access to 30 games optimized for Xbox Series X at launch. It was a risky effort, but according to newly shared data regarding Xbox Game Pass adoption, it has proved to be fruitful....

The Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S next-gen consoles both launch in less than two weeks.

To celebrate the occasion, Microsoft has announced a special “Kick Off” event coinciding with the Xbox Series X/S launch on November 10. Fans from across the world can join in on the digital broadcast starting at 11:00 am PT/2:00 pm ET....

As a result of the Coronavirus outbreak, many stormed aisles all throughout the world in order to stock up on toilet paper....

IFC Midnight has acquired the rights to Keith Thomas’s Jewish-themed horror film The Vigil, taking over distribution from Blumhouse, and has scheduled it for release early next year. The Vigil previously premiered at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, and was on the schedule for the canceled 2020 South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. The Vigil stars Dave Davis, perhaps best known before this for getting shot in the head by Michael Rooker in season 3 of The Walking Dead, as Yakov Ronen, who has recently left his Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn....

Marvel Studios is currently developing a Secret Invasion series for Disney Plus, with Samuel L. Jackson reprising his role as Nick Fury. Now, Kevin Feige has explained why the Marvel Comics storyline will be adapted as a television series instead of a feature film. Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel introduced the infamous Skrulls, a fictional race of extraterrestrial shapeshifters, to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, unlike their comic book counterparts, these particular Skrulls, led by Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos, were refugees who lost their home planet to the Kree and posed no threat to Earth....

Looking at the mashup of delightful Disney properties with epic Final Fantasy characters, most players wouldn’t expect a game like Kingdom Hearts to have a huge amount of nightmare fuel. However, the introduction of one Heartless enemy type early on, the Soldier, immediately raises the stakes for the battle against the darkness, and quickly terrifies new players who had just been primed for a light, happy romp with Kingdom Hearts’ overly cheery protagonist....

Here at TheGamer, we get to do this really cool thing where we discuss video games—even those that have yet to premiere. One of such turns out to be the most highly-anticipated game of 2019: Kingdom Hearts III. The hype and anxiety surrounding this game are so intense that Square Enix has battled many a spoiler and hacking attempt in order to keep the story a secret until its release in January....

A representative for the DICE Awards explains why, despite being in attendance, Hideo Kojima did not accept the ‘Best Action Adventure Game’ award that Metal Gear Solid 5 won. 2015 was a bumpy year for beloved video game developer Hideo Kojima. His Silent Hill reboot was canceled, his name was removed from the box art of Metal Gear Solid V, and he was let go from Konami. Since the year closed out, Kojima’s been working on moving forward: amid opening a new studio, the famed developer has teased new projects and hobnobbed with a who’s-who of multimedia, including the developers of Titanfall and director J....

This article contains Last Night in Soho spoilers. Thomasin McKenzie’s Eloise Turner is a young woman who’s always been haunted by ghosts. That was true at the beginning of Edgar Wright’s Last Night in Soho and it proves just as accurate by the end when she smiles at a blonde haired specter in the mirror. But then learning to live with your spirits, including the horror that comes from their legacies, is all part of growing up....

Dontnod Entertainment has only gone from strength to strength, with its work on the Life is Strange games very much putting it on the map. And while it’s currently hard at work on a new narrative-driven adventure, Tell Me Why, the studio has announced that it’s undergoing a big step forward with a new studio. The studio in question has opened in Montreal, Canada in North America and, according to Dontnod itself, this second branch will “complete” the original team based in Paris....

The second part of Dune began shooting this week while confirming the new additions to the epic cast. “With just a little more than a year to go before its theatrical release, the sequel to Denis Villeneuve‘s 2021 hit Dune has finally begun production. The movie announced the start of shooting via its official Twitter account, posting a photo of Dune: Part 2‘s clapper board along with the caption ‘We’re rolling....

Few movie franchises are as ripe for memes as Shrek. Here’s a history of how Shrek went from a CGI classic to one of the most prolific internet in-jokes. “Shrek, the movie, is an important cultural document that heralded the arrival of CGI animation as a dominant medium and essentially forced the Oscars to create its Best Animated Feature category. Online, Shrek has long provided source material for memes and artistic expressions, but the internet love for the movie’s actual substance has, by far, been overshadowed by the seemingly unquenchable joy of reinterpreting Shrek, often in explicit, NSFW ways....

Jedi: Fallen Order actor Cameron Monaghan could be reprising his role as Cal Kestis, but this time in a live-action TV series. “Just as EA and Respawn Entertainment announced Jedi: Fallen Order‘s sequel Jedi: Survivor, a new rumor has now surfaced suggesting that the Star Wars character Cal Kestis will also be getting his own live-action show over on Disney+. According to YouTube’s Kristian Harloff, a trusted source has revealed that the fan-favorite hero from Jedi: Fallen Order will be making his television debut with a new series centered around him over on the streaming platform, and the video game character’s original actor Cameron Monaghan is also said to be reprising his role....

Marvel India released a tweet with the previously unannounced release date for Blade starring Mahershala Ali, and it’s much sooner than we thought. “The official Indian Marvel account on Twitter had previously published a calendar of releases with upcoming MCU films, setting the release date for each movie in the country. Among the films featured in the calendar are Eternals on this November 5, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on March 25, 2022, and The Marvels on November 11, 2022....

When you start playing any video game, part of the fun is exploring every nook and cranny of the map, searching for secrets and collectibles. These collectibles could grant you special abilities or just be a purely cosmetic item; either way, the hunt is part of the fun. In Little Nightmares 2, fans should keep their eye out for two types of collectibles: hats (that Mono can wear) and glitching remains (which are basically the ghost from children)....

He has been on Middle-earth since the Second Age and was a key player in the events surrounding Sauron and the Ring Of Power. He was sent from across the sea to guide and assist the world of Middle-earth under the guise of an old man. Without his leadership, the quest of the Fellowship surely would have failed before it even began. He is a friend to great Kings and Elven Lords, and is but one member of his order, the Istari....
