The folk over at Warner Bros. Interactive and NetherRealm Studios have had one heck of a time trying to keep downloadable roster updates under wraps for the recently released Injustice: Gods Among Us. For those who’ve been paying attention to the leaks regarding Injustice, every downloadable character revealed thus far hasn’t come as a surprise whatsoever. That said, knowing that Mortal Kombat’s iconic Scorpion would eventually join the ranks of Batman and Superman didn’t diminish the ‘pow’ factor of the character’s official confirmation today....

Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game was a critical hit when it landed in 2010 alongside the cult film from director Edgar Wright. Now, Ubisoft is remastering the game for its 10th anniversary. UPDATE: Shortly after Ubisoft Forward, Kotaku spoke to Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley. According to an email, O’Malley had some kind of “communication breakdown” between Ubisoft, Universal, and himself. This resulted in him being unaware of this rerelease, and he claims that “None of the original creators are working on the rerelease....

Scream 5, an alumni-rife reunion of a film, is now set to revive the iconic horror franchise with the reveal of its official release date. Paramount Pictures, which is distributing the Spyglass Media Group-co-produced film, has revealed that the Scream relaunch effort is scheduled to hit theaters on January 14, 2022. While that date is obviously far off on the horizon, it leaves the film in a Martin Luther King Jr....

Rare has constantly updated its swashbuckling action-adventure game Sea of Thieves, implementing new content such as fiery skeleton bosses in the recent Ashen Winds update, as well as making the title more accessible for a wider array of people. On July 29, the developer announced Sea of Thieves now supports players using a single analog stick with simplified controls. Using only one analog stick will make it easier to navigate menus and combine movements and camera controls to reduce the number of inputs required....

If you’re one of over 15 million+ people who currently own a copy of Grand Theft Auto V, and have also been trying to play the multiplayer mode GTA Online, then it’s likely you’ve run into what Rockstar Games describes as, “the typical growing pains for an online game.” Having never released an online title of this scale before, Rockstar has spent the first couple of days since GTA Online’s working through a laundry list of crashes and bugs in an effort to get the multiplayer running smoothly....

As many are diving into From Software’s latest release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, many are likely learning the ropes in order to die less. This includes using skill points as quickly as possible, with even one skill being the difference in life and death between the game’s various bosses. However, another small detail players will want to master quickly is upgrading the one-armed wolf’s prosthetic tools. Yet Sekiro is not as straightforward with it as it could be, so follow this guide to upgrade the prosthetic in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice....

One criticism that’s often been levied against the Call of Duty franchise is that it lacks any innovation. This criticism is not entirely unfounded, as many will cite the plethora of other annually released titles that only improve incrementally over their predecessor with their multiplayer offerings virtually remaining the same. However, Glen Schofield, general manager of Modern Warfare 3 co-developer Slegdehammer Games, believes that the latest Call of Duty game is still able to innovate despite its same base game engine....

As the first Call of Duty game to release on current-gen consoles, anticipation for Call of Duty: Ghosts was high but ultimately the game failed to impress reviewers and had significantly lower sales than the previous years’ Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. With Call of Duty 2014 being developed with PS4 and Xbox One hardware in mind, not to mention being the first Call of Duty game developed exclusively by Sledgehammer Games, it does seem like there’s potential for this next title to shake some of that franchise fatigue off....

The next generation of console could be PlayStation’s shortest life cycle to date as insiders claim the PS5’s replacement could be here in just five years. The next generation of console is almost upon us. In fact, it might worth ditching the “almost” at this point. Gamers now know so much about the PS5 and the Xbox Series X that it feels like the consoles have all but arrived. Then again, there is still no word on how much the consoles will cost or an official release date for either one, so perhaps there is a little more juice in the current generation left to be squeezed....

This article contains lots and lots of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse spoilers. Pretty obvious, but yeah. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse has a ton of personality and heart, but it boils down to a pretty basic plot. It’s a superhero origin story that ends with the good guys having a climactic battle over a maguffin that can blow up all of reality. The good guys win, the bad guys lose, and our heroes live happily ever after....

Recently, the French Resident Evil fan website, Biohazard France, published some new information on the upcoming Resident Evil 2 remake. The site’s information confirmed that there will be no new monsters in the upcoming game, and it also revealed that it will feature an optional auto-aim mode where the characters will automatically aim at enemy weakpoints. This auto-aim mode in Resident Evil 2 will be turned off by default, and will only activate if players manually turn it on in the menus....

USK, Germany’s ESRB equivalent, has rated Resident Evil Code: Veronica for PS4, indicating that the game is coming to modern consoles as either a port or remaster. However, the USK has since removed its listing for Resident Evil Code: Veronica, which likely means that it was posted in error. Before the USK could remove Resident Evil Code: Veronica’s PS4 rating, NeoGAF user YianGaruga managed to record the details. The game was given a 16 rating (in ESRB terms, “M” for Mature) and the listing was originally posted on March 17th....

Resident Evil is an amazing franchise that has many iconic characters. However, it is also a franchise that constantly tries to present players with new characters while respecting the old ones. Interestingly, Capcom manages to give us Ethan and his family while telling a bioterrorism story that is as good as any other that they have told before. The newest games of the series are also some of the scariest ones....

In a newly released trailer for the next installment in the series, fans of We Were Here were treated to a return to Castle Rock and the sinister laughter of The Jester. We Were Here Forever sees a brand-new suite of puzzles, thrills, and mayhem. The We Were Here series, launched in 2017 by Total Mayhem Games, is a collection of collaborative adventures that take place in Castle Rock, an abandoned castle in the middle of a frozen wasteland....

The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has always liked to tease that the real cause of the zombie outbreak in his long-running comic series was extraterrestrial in nature. Back in January 2020, Kirkman responded to a question on Twitter as to the zombie outbreak’s origin with a simple “space spore.” This was a joke, of course, but it was also a stealthy shout out to what The Walking Dead could have been....

When Riot Games first announced VALORANT in October of 2019, it was clear that the game was meant to be Riot’s response to Overwatch. Similar to Blizzard’s latest hit, VALORANT is an objective-based first person shooter with a variety of playable heroes, each with their own unique abilities. However, as more details were released, the gameplay turned out to more closely resemble Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, meaning that the game ultimately lands somewhere in between the two....

Since the game launched at the end of last year, GTA 5 has been through a multitude of updates, with the most recent festive update arriving this week. Rockstar has been busy behind the scenes, not resting on the laurels of record-setting UK sales figures and awards for both the original and remastered versions. Even a lawsuit from Lindsay Lohan has been barely a bump in the road. That said, there have been a couple of glaring omissions from GTA 5’s progress....
