Sony has officially cast Alan Ritchson (Reacher) as the lead in the upcoming Helldivers film adaptation. Ritchson replaces Jason Momoa, who left the project this summer. The film was originally set to release on November 10, 2027, but its premiere has now been pushed back to June 9, 2028 – presumably because of the casting change. Justin Lin (Fast and Furious) remains on board as director. With the new release date, Helldivers joins the other video game adaptations hitting theaters in 2028 – so far, Elden Ring (March 3) and Call of Duty (June 30) have been confirmed. Street Fighter arrives in about two weeks (October 16), while next year brings Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (March 19) and The Legend of Zelda (April 30). On…

A new iteration of the flagship headset: Logitech G Pro X3 Lightspeed review

Game News Hardware Review
0 28

Logitech keeps refreshing and upgrading its G Pro lineup, from mice and keyboards to headsets. Which is how the latest generation of the Pro X3 wireless headset landed in our hands! They say you shouldn’t change what works, and Logitech is clearly confident in its G Pro products, as they change only minimally from one generation to the next. In a rather minimalist, luxurious-feeling black box you’ll find plenty of goodies – the headset itself, a detachable microphone, a wireless receiver, a USB-A to USB-C cable and a 3.5mm cable for connecting to any analog output. There’s also an extra set of ear pads covered in fine fabric, plus a nice carrying pouch to keep everything packed together in one place. The headset itself has…

Guillermo del Toro reveals his favorite games: He wanted to direct a BioShock adaptation

Game News misc
0 26

Guillermo del Toro loves video games – so much so that he spent several years trying to get a project called Insane off the ground. As a renowned film director, he also tried his hand at adapting a cult franchise for the screen, but that venture ended disastrously. In a new interview with IGN, del Toro revealed that he once tried to make a film based on BioShock. Setting aside the fundamental differences between film and video games as mediums, the director also ran into insurmountable obstacles in communicating with the IP holders. “There are a lot of similarities in terms of framing and directing scenes, but the processes of making a film and making a game are drastically different. I experienced this first-hand when…

A new Uncharted game is reportedly in development

Game News
0 28

Naughty Dog has been slacking on new games for a while now, and Uncharted always seemed like the last franchise on the list to get a sequel (especially considering how the previous entry ended). However, if a new report from MP1st is to be believed, the series is very much alive. According to the report, the project isn’t a remake but an entirely new sequel, which should arrive after Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. It is reportedly led by veteran Shaun Escayag, who returned to the studio in 2021 after working on Marvel’s Avengers at Crystal Dynamics. MP1st claims Nathan Drake will return, though it’s not known whether he’ll be the lead. The report lines up with posts from insider NateTheHate, who claims Escayag isn’t working…

EA Sports is working on a free-to-play AAA live-service game

Game News

Today, EA is probably best known for its annual sports game releases such as FC, Madden NFL, UFC and others. It now looks like the company wants to expand that portfolio, potentially into mobile titles. EA is hiring a Client Engineer at its Shanghai studio, and details in the job listing suggest the new project will be a free-to-play live-service title under the EA Sports brand. People in this position have previously worked mostly on mobile projects. That alone doesn’t mean this game will be made for mobile devices, since the studio also collaborates with other EA teams on major franchises such as Apex Legends and Battlefield. And while the listing mentions “knowledge of mobile game development”, it is a preferred rather than a required…

A magnificent return of an absolute legend: Onimusha: Way of the Sword review

Game News Game review
0 16

Seven long years have passed since the last Devil May Cry game, and it feels like an eternity. And then I look back at Onimusha… Twenty-two full years! The last proper entry in the series came out back when I was swapping games on discs with people from the forums at all sorts of meetups. In what feels like an alternate dimension, really. And I’d be lying if I said the announcement of a new game didn’t thrill me from the very first trailer. Onimusha truly is a cult series. Perhaps the most interesting thing about all of this is that Way of the Sword doesn’t try to reinvent Onimusha from scratch. Instead, it takes what once made the series special and adapts it to…
