If you've been anxiously awaiting news from Xbox Game Studios and The Coalition about Gears of War 6, know that you're not alone. Thankfully, the wait might be coming to an end really soon, as the rumor mill is heating up. While the timing makes sense (Gears 5 came out in 2019), AAA development is so screwed up nowadays that making these predictions is almost pointless. Recent reports, however, have claimed that a sixth mainline Gears of War is indeed part of Xbox's summer plans to wow the gaming sphere. Now, we may have just received proper confirmation from a major COG actor. When asked on ..read more

If you've been hopping back into the Fallout games recently - or trying them for the first time - you're probably pretty keen to give Fallout 4's next-gen update a go. If you're wondering what time the next-gen update's set to actually arrive, then you're very much in the right place. We got a bunch of info on what the next-gen update will include as part of its surprise announcement a couple of weeks ago. As well as bringing the game to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in native fashion, the update'll offer a host of graphical tweaks and bug fixes that very depending on which platform you'r ..read more

Wait, didn't General Grievous perish in Revenge of the Sith? Are they bringing another dead villain back? No, don't worry. It's just that he's a key part of the Nightsisters' fall, and Star Wars: Tales of the Empire will be exploring that event as the most crucial one in Morgan Elsbeth's life. The six part animated mini-series, which will drop all its episodes on May the 4th, was a surprise announcement. While fans were waiting for new 'seasons' that followed the Tales of the Jedi format, we didn't know for sure what that would be or when it would arrive. Now, we know that it's right around t ..read more

As recent player numbers for the series have shown, Amazon's Fallout TV show has a whole bunch of us playing and thinking about Fallout right now. In the case of one fan, Fallout 3's been the title they've decided to take a trip down memory lane to - having decided to start working a cool demake of it for the Gameboy. While Fallout 4's the entry in the series getting a next-gen update today, returing to the Capital Wasteland's also well worth doing. After all, your dad's Liam Neeson, and who's going to go on a wild goose chase after him if you don't? The Fallout fan behind this demake, who go ..read more

The marketing campaign for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which looks pretty damn cool, is now going full steam ahead before its May 10 release, and Disney and 20th Century Studios seem to be fully aware that people love apes riding horses. Following up on the decision to shoot as much of the movie as possible in real locations, the powers that be have unleashed a bunch of evolved apes who are now roaming around Venice Beach and an iconic San Francisco location while riding horses. Movies are back! As far as over-the-top marketing moments go, it's not as ballsy as debuting the first-ever ..read more

The Hollywood trades weren't lying when they reported that 28 Years Later (now a trilogy of movies instead of a single threequel) was one of the hottest packages in town. Its cast is being assembled as we speak, and it's already looking amazing. The Alex Garland-written and Danny Boyle-directed post-apocalyptic feature has just been joined by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes. No word yet, however, on whether Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy, who's surely looking at plenty of potential projects at the moment, will be doing more than executive producing. Deadline dropped ..read more

Helldivers 2's latest Major Order had looked to be proving a tough one over the past few days, with the task of defending ten planets before time ran out seeming like it might be beyond the collective abilities of a community with varying priorites. Though, it now seems we might have been a bit hasty to rule out the galaxy's premier bug-slaying force - since they're now on the verge of potentially prying victory from the jaws of defeat. Yup, after plenty of arguing about the difficulty hardcore players were having in trying to convince all of their casual pals that they needed to pitch in and ..read more

First of all, if you're unfamiliar with Fallout: London, it's a full conversion mod for Fallout 4 that's set to let us explore a post-apocalytic version of the English capital, complete with fresh factions and quests. We've ..read more
