Apple is increasingly focusing on building its own devices and expanding its ecosystem by taking steps towards a more native experience for users and relying less on third-party accessories. While the Cupertino-based tech giant's HomePod and AppleTV have left quite the mark in the smart home category, it generally relies more on outsourcing cameras and other hardware for smart homes.

Remedy has announced a new partnership with Annapurna Interactive on various projects, starting with Control 2. The sequel will be co-financed (with an even split) between the two companies, even though the IP remains in the hands of Remedy, which will be self-publishing Control 2. But the deal is also important because it aims to bring Control and Alan Wake to film and television, leveraging Annapurna's expertise in those mediums. Tero Virtala, CEO of Remedy Entertainment, said in a statement: At Remedy, our primary focus continues to be what we do best—crafting industry-defining video games that have earned us global […]
In February 2022, Take-Two and Netflix partnered to create a live action film adaptation of the BioShock game franchise. Around six months later, we learned that Francis Lawrence, the director of Hunger Games, Constantine, I Am Legend, Sparrow, and Slumberland, would be taking care of the project. Later that year, Lawrence himself talked about what makes BioShock unique. He also confirmed that franchise creator Ken Levine would be involved in some capacity. We haven't heard any further news about the BioShock film for a long while. Now, Variety has published some news that came out of San Diego Comic-Con 2024, […]
It comes as no surprise that video game sales have dropped worldwide. The UK isn't the only market to see drastic drops, as Europe also experienced heavy drops in console purchases, especially for Xbox. In the first half of the fiscal year in the UK, video game sales have dropped by a significant 30%. Many people knew there would be more of a struggle, as there haven't been many "hit" games in the first half of 2024 compared to 2023. According to figures released by the Entertainment Retailers Association, sales of both physical and digital video games have dropped by […]
Would you fancy a movie or TV series based on FromSoftware's latest masterpiece, Elden Ring? Because that seems exactly what George R.R. Martin is teasing in his latest blog update posted on Saturday. The author of A Song of Ice and Fire famously collaborated with the Japanese studio on the new fantasy franchise, laying down the mythology, worldbuilding, and characters that the game's plot is based upon. Many had called this a match made in heaven and, indeed, Elden Ring went on to be an outstanding commercial and critical success. In May 2023, the game even won the Nebula Award […]
Nintendo, in collaboration with the American animation studio Illumination, has announced a new Super Mario Bros. film, scheduled to launch somewhere in April 2026 globally. We are finally going to see Mario and Lucio once again on the screens, this time coming in a new sequel to the original "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," which was a massive hit at the box office and generated a whopping 1.3 billion dollars in 2023. To keep up with the hype, Illumination has decided to enter with a new film of the franchise, although their announcement hasn't mentioned the word "sequel"; hence, it […]
The gears of filmmaking are finally turning for the Watch Dogs adaptation, according to a fresh report by Deadline. The film will be produced at New Regency Pictures by Yariv Milchan and Natalie Lehmann, alongside Margaret Boykin for Ubisoft Film & Television. New Regency has also produced Ubisoft's previous major franchise adaptation, 2016's Assassin's Creed film starring Michael Fassbender. More recently, the studio made Bohemian Rhapsody, Ad Astra, The Northman, and Barbarian. The Watch Dogs film was originally announced ten years ago when Zombieland writers Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese were set to lay down the script. However, things have […]
Today, Lionsgate has released the official trailer for the Borderlands movie. Originally announced four years ago when the COVID pandemic was about to explode, the film adaptation of Gearbox's first-person shooter franchise has had its fair of troubles getting to theaters. Last year, Deadline revealed it had been handed from director and writer Eli Roth to Tim Miller because it needed two weeks of reshoots. It's hard to say whether any of that work appeared in the trailer; however, this promotional footage certainly seems to capture the craziness of the Borderlands IP. Here's the official synopsis: Lilith (Blanchett), an infamous […]
It's been nearly a decade since Supermassive Games released Until Dawn as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. The British studio has since moved on to other franchises, chiefly their The Dark Pictures horror anthology. Before the release of Man of Medan, Supermassive CEO and Executive Producer Pete Samuels commented on the many requests for Until Dawn 2: After Until Dawn, many started to request a sequel, and it still happens today, so we know there is a fanbase that likes this kind of thing. If we were making sequels, we don’t know who survived. I mean we could probably work it […]
