You might have seen Hazelight’s next game, A Way Out. But we do have Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons , the studio’s previous game, to give us some idea what to expect. What I will say is that there are benches dotted through this game world (who the hell is building a bench on top of a mountain?) I won’t remember Brothers for the 1000G, though. What I’ll really remember is the story and the world, both of which kept surprising me.

General Hux is a bit of a dark (pun absolutely intended) horse going into Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Rightly or wrongly, we’re all focused on Snoke, Kylo Ren, and whether either Luke or Rey will turn bad, but this guy’s been around the evil block – and then some. I think that’s where he’s [at] with him, you know?”Don’t take your eye off this guy. As we all know, there’s nothing scarier than someone who puts politics and power before anything else. If that speech in Star Wars: The Force Awakens is

Jurassic World 2 is releasing a few blink-and-you’ll-miss-them teasers ahead of its full trailer launch on Friday, but they have nothing on this race-against-time Jurassic Park parody. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard star as they rush to get the trailer up in time and if you’re a fan of the original, you’re going to love all the nods to Jurassic Park. Created by filmmaker Zack King, the two-minute long clip has a lot going for it: Chris Pratt in full on goofy mode, some subtle (and not so su

There’s being able to beat your mates in your slightly hungover Sunday FIFA 18 tournaments, and then there’s rising to glory as an esports star. That glory is one step closer thanks to Gfinity, the esports company that just snapped up the official license for FIFA 18. The game will join the Gfinity Elite Series esports competition in March 2018. “The Elite Series is growing rapidly week-on-week and the addition of FIFA 18 will only help to accelerate this growth. The upcoming season of Challenge

Quentin Tarantino, known for directing films like Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds and Hateful Eight (which is to say hyper-violent movies where the characters drop f-bombs) might direct the next Star Trek movie. If Paramount likes the results, Tarantino would direct the movie, with Abrams serving as producer. Second, we know nothing about Tarantino’s idea, so I’d say Paramount giving the green light is a big “if” at this point. Bless him if his idea really is that good, but Star Trek is disti

Destiny 2 Update 1.1.0 is out now and Bungie has listed all of its many tweaks, fixes, and balance changes on its official site. Grenades are more powerful, mostlyEver feel like your grenades don’t pack enough punch? Almost every grenade type in the game will now do increased damage, with one big exception: Pulse Grenades. Pulse Grenades now do slightly less damage, and will also make your screen and controller shake less when they activate. Public Events give better loot but less Glimmer and XP

Of course, the stream of Star Wars video games didn’t run dry after TFU2’s underwhelming performance. Read more Meet the man whose job it is to remember THE ENTIRE Star Wars canon1313 was shaping up to be the best thing bearing the Star Wars name in years. It’s by no means the self-contained cinematic experience the fans of Star Wars games crave. Let’s face it: If only one in ten Star Wars movies topped the box office, we wouldn’t get any Star Wars movies at all. The sooner we accept that, the l

One of the best Assassin’s Creed games ever made can be yours for zero dollars and nada cents next week. Ubisoft is offering Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag as a free gift to all players via its PC gaming platform Uplay from December 12 through 18.

Playing a video game demo is a bit like tasting the wine before buying the full bottle at a restaurant. That’s free Gamerscore points for playing a free demo, which are often worth playing for the entertainment value in and of themselves! Instead of having to trawl through the Xbox Marketplace looking for the right freebies for you, I’ve selected some of the very best Xbox One demos available and listed them below for your browsing pleasure. Wolfenstein 2: The New ColossusBethesda has a pretty g

The PlayStation Store may have gotten a little over-excited about an incoming God of War release date announcement. Users of the ResetEra gaming forum noticed that both the Chilean and North American PlayStation Store briefly displayed March 22, 2018 release dates for God of War before returning to their usual placeholder date of December 31, 2018. A less telling but more fun reason: the original God of War was first released on March 22, 2005. It’d be kinda neat for this new chapter of Kratos’

You might think you know Star Wars inside-out and back-to-front, but is it literally your job to know every midichlorian-sized detail? With enough facts about the Star Wars universe rattling around in his head to fill the Deathstar twice over, our sister publication SFX magazine sat down with him to ask what it’s like to be a walking Star Wars encyclopedia ahead of the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Not really, though I would like to finally clarify that the Bothans never stole any Death S

Star Wars: Rogue One may not have had them, but seeing as the original cut of Star Wars: The Last Jedi is super long, we’re going to get a lot of deleted scenes come 2018. “I actually just reviewed the deleted scenes we’re gonna have on the Blu-ray,” Johnson says, “There’s a bunch of – some of my favourite scenes ending up having to come out… There’s a lot of really substantial, really good scenes. Talking about a director’s cut, Johnson was straightforward: “The director’s cut is the movie that

Whether it’s the rumoured Pokémon Stars or something different, here’s everything we know so far about Pokémon on the Switch. He teases that there is indeed a Pokémon Switch game being worked on. According to a report from Eurogamer , the Pokémon game coming to Switch is Pokémon Stars, a spin-off from Pokémon Sun and Moon similar to what Pokémon Yellow did for Pokémon Red and Blue back in the day. Apparently, Pokémon will be tradeable between Pokémon Sun, Moon and Stars via Pokémon Bank, which m

Deleted Facebook posts are the new smoking gun. Now, I’m not saying a character we haven’t seen for a long time is back in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but there’s only two good reasons you ever delete a Facebook post: embarrassing baby pictures, or you said something you shouldn’t. Well, according to production/lighting company Digital Sputnik’s Facebook post (thankfully saved for posterity by Comicbook.com) back Yoda is. Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Rogue One were Yoda-less, so tha

The news comes by way of an exclusive interview with showrunner Steven Moffat in the new issue of SFX magazine, as he prepares to depart the show alongside Capaldi. Speaking to SFX, Moffat reveals that fans will quickly get over the Doctor’s new female appearance and soon be asking another question…“You’ll spend more time in that first episode reacting to her accent than her gender,” explains Moffat. Why’s she got a Yorkshire accent?’ That’s going to be it.” Adding that Whittaker is “a firebal

You could make a lot of bad jokes about The Walking Dead season 8 episode 7 , and it’s unfortunately hokey name. As always, major spoilers ahead for The Walking Dead season 8 as we run down the biggest questions I had after watching episode 7, Time For After. Is Eugene going to tattle on Dwight? Eugene’s onto him, Daryl wants him dead, zombies are around every corner of Sanctuary… right now, the character’s chances in The Walking Dead are zero to one. Is Daryl going to regret what he did?

Famous movie director Guillermo del Toro might appear in Hidoe Kojima’s next game, Death Stranding, but that doesn’t mean he knows much more about it than we do. In a Reddit AMA today he revealed that Kojima isn’t giving anything away. We know that Del Toro will be joining Kojima at The Game Awards on Thursday, and we’re crossing everything that the pair will unveil a brand new trailer for us to obsess over. I hope he doesn’t make my digital avatar suffer great horrors,” says Del Toro. Del Toro

But the real kicker is this: closer to the end of 2018, Capcom will release Mega Man 11, the first new side-scrolling Mega Man game since 2010’s Mega Man 10. (Yes, there is a Mega Man X and a Mega Man 10, in case you haven’t been following the franchise.) With new Mega Man games absent from Capcom’s lineup for years, many feared the Mega Man series (that is to say classic-style Mega Man games, with 2D movement and jump-n-shoot level design) was dead. But the more I watch it in action and pay att

A Chinese trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has revealed a precious few extra seconds of never-before-seen footage, and seems to confirm an old theory regarding a creature being introduced to a galaxy far, far away. Well, at 1:40, we catch a glimpse of the Millenium Falcon bursting through the ground, with red dust marking its explosive escape. How the planet stays together when a single starship can apparently plow right through its surface, however, is another mystery. Mostly though, I just
