When it comes to great Daredevil villains, the only character who can give Kingpin a run for his money is Bullseye. This deadly assassin has been a thorn in Matt Murdock's side for years. And now he's making his return to the MCU, as ComicBook.com and Deadline report that Wilson Bethel will reprise his role as Benjamin Poindexter in Daredevil: Born Again.

It's been a while since we've seen Bullseye in live-action. To help get you up to speed, here's everything you need to know about this feared killer who almost never misses his target. These are the topics we cover here:

Bullseye Explained: The Basics

The Marvel Universe is full of deadly costumed assassins, but Bullseye is the man you turn to when you absolutely need the job done right. As one of the best marksmen alive, Bullseye seldom misses his target, and no job is too difficult, dangerous or downright evil for this amoral killer.

The only hero who's consistently confounded Bullseye over the years is Daredevil. The two have built up one of the most heated rivalries in the Marvel Universe. But no matter how many loves ones and innocent bystanders Bullseye claims, he can never seem to defeat the Man Without Fear.

As one of the best marksmen alive, Bullseye almost never misses his target, and no job is too difficult, dangerous or downright evil for this amoral killer.

Bullseye's Powers and Abilities

Bullseye technically has no superhuman powers, though his aim is so incredible it may as well be superhuman. Bullseye can turn just about any object into a deadly projectile, be it a knife, a bullet, a paperclip or even a tooth. He can hit his targets with pinpoint accuracy from almost any distance or angle. Only heroes like Daredevil or Spider-Man, who can sense these attacks coming, stand a chance of surviving a run-in with Bullseye.

Bullseye also had his spine reinforced with pieces of adamantium after nearly dying in a fall. The same metal that coats Wolverine's bones, this adamantium makes Bullseye resistant to injury and capable of bending and contorting his body in ways that most people would find extremely uncomfortable.

Bullseye: Origin and Background

Bullseye was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist John Romita, Sr. and first debuted in 1976's Daredevil #131. Another villain named Bull's Eye had previousoly appeared in an issue of Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., but despite also being an expert marksman and assassin, this character has no apparent connection to Bullseye.

It wasn't long before a bitter rivalry formed between Daredevil and Bullseye. Bullseye became obsessed with proving himself Daredevil's better. In more ways than one, Bullseye became the Joker to Daredevil's Batman. Like Joker, Bullseye has a past shrouded in mystery and half-truths. Some people say he's an ex-baseball pitcher who grew so bored after throwing a perfect game that he killed the batter. Others say he grew up in a broken home and used his marksman talent to fake his father's suicide. Also like Joker, Bullseye has developed a habit of surviving near-death experiences and always returning to make Matt Murdock's life miserable.

Bullseye's defining supervillain moment came in 1982's Daredevil #181, where he murdered Elektra in a failed attempt to impress Kingpin. Daredevil repaid Bullseye by dropping him from a telephone wire and leaving him paralyzed.

Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of this deadly villain. Bullseye was later recruited by Lord Dark Wind, the man responsible for creating the adamantium bonding process. He would continuously resurface in the Daredevil comic, eventually claiming the life of another one of Matt Murdock's girlfriends when he murdered Karen Page in a story called "Guardian Devil."

In recent years, Bullseye has shifted from fighting characters like Daredevil and Punisher to taking a more active role in the Marvel Universe. He even joined Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers, a team of villains masquerading as heroes, and stole the mantle of Hawkeye.

Bullseye finally pushed Daredevil too far in Shadowland, a story which dealt with Matt Murdock falling to the dark side and becoming leader of the Hand. Daredevil finally killed his nemesis and attempted to resurrect him as a servant of the Hand. Daredevil's allies prevented that resurrection, fortunately.

As he so often does, Bullseye managed to cheat death yet again and has now gone back to being one of the most feared and reliable assassins in the Marvel Universe. When you never miss, there's no shortage of opportunities.

Bullseye in Movies and Games

Despite being one of the more popular villains in the Marvel Universe, Bullseye hasn't had a great deal of exposure outside the comics. That's probably because his penchant for murder makes him a difficult sell on Marvel's more family-friendly animated series.

Marvel Movies: Bullseye's biggest non-comics role came in the 2003 Daredevil movie, where he was played by Colin Farrell. This Bullseye is an agent of Michael Clarke Duncan's Kingpin who takes a special interest in Ben Affeck's Daredevil after the hero causes Bullseye to miss his first target ever. The film loosely adapts Miller's Daredevil work, including the iconic Bullseye vs. Elektra deathmatch from Daredevil #181.

Marvel Games: Bullseye has also appeared in a number of Marvel video games. He was a major boss character in the 2005 Punisher video game (voiced by Stephen Blum), and he's also appeared in games like Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 3, Marvel Future Fight and the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes series.

Bullseye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Bullseye returned to prominence thanks to Netflix's Daredevil series. Bullseye is a major villain in the show's third and final season, though he never actually uses the "Bullseye" name or wears the iconic black and white costume.

Instead, the Netflix series introduces the character as FBI Agent Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter, a mentally troubled sniper who catches the eye of Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk. Fisk manipulates Dex into donning Matt Murdock's discarded Daredevil armor and killing his enemies, enabling Fisk's return to power. Dex and the real Daredevil clash multiple times over the course of the season, culminating in a threeway battle between Dex, Daredevil and Kingpin in the finale that leaves Dex paralyzed.

Though defeated and disgraced, Dex is set up for a recurring role in the MCU thanks to the finale's post-credits scene. That scene shows his shattered spine being operated upon by a character who may or may not be Lord Dark Wind. Is that our first glimpse of adamantium in the MCU?

With Netflix cancelling Daredevil after Season 3, it was unclear where or even if that twist would be followed up. However, Marvel Studios has since begun including Daredevil characters in its Disney+ series, starting with D'Onofrio's Fisk in Hawkeye and then Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock in She-Hulk and Echo. Now ComicBook.com and Deadline report that Bethel is reprising his role as Dex/Bullseye in Daredevil: Born Again.

It's unknown how many episodes Bethel will appear in this time, but we may finally see his character don the traditional Bullseye costume and name. And who knows? We could see this deadly villain pop up in other areas of the MCU, battling characters like Tom Holland's Spider-Man or Hailee Steinfeld's Hawkeye. A good assassin always stays busy.

After three jam-packed years filled with multiple peripherals, numerous updates, and hundreds of games, the PlayStation 5 has cemented itself as the most popular home console, with nearly double the units sold as the Xbox Series X and S. It may look a little bit different thanks to the 2023 Slim model revision, but today’s PS5 isn’t radically different from what came out three years ago: it’s still a weird-looking workhorse of a machine with a best-in-class controller, and it can more than hold its own when playing the most demanding games available today.

For the most part, you can put aside speed comparisons with the Xbox Series X. If the past few years of in-depth Performance Reviews of cross-platform games has taught us anything, it’s that both consoles are up to the task of running current games. The PS5 has an AMD Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU, 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, Wi-Fi 6, and gigabit Ethernet, which keeps it competitive with the Xbox’s slightly higher specs. And if your TV can handle it, it supports Variable Refresh Rate to combat screen tearing, and some games offer the ability to run at 120 frames per second at the cost of resolution or graphics features like ray tracing. It’s even got 1440p support if you want to plug into a gaming monitor.

The newest model of PS5, officially called the PS5 Slim, packs all of those same features into a more compact, slimmer design that’s a lot nicer on the eyes than the bulky launch version. As a nice bonus, you get a slightly larger 1TB storage capacity, for 848GB of usable space – 181GB more than the launch version. That right there addresses two of our criticisms from the original version: it was huge, and didn’t have as much storage as the Xbox Series X.

You can fast-travel to nearly any point on the map in less than six seconds.

On that note, one of this generation’s most important upgrades is the switch from traditional hard drives to solid-state storage drives, or PS5 SSDs. That dramatically improves loading times across the board and enables games to load in new objects on the fly so you don’t get pop-in when, for example, swinging through New York in Spider-Man 2. The PS5’s SSD can read 5.5GB in just one second (which is, on paper, twice as fast as the Series X). In practical terms, that speed means you can fast-travel to nearly any point on the map in less than six seconds. After generations of reading tooltips and staring at splash screens, it’s pretty unreal how quickly some games load.

Bear in mind, though, that a single Call of Duty game is 150GB these days, so you may still want to invest in extra storage. To do that you can easily pop off the side panels to install an M.2 SSD drive right off the shelf, which currently range from affordable 250GB to 4TB monsters that can cost more than two PS5s alone. That gives the PS5 more flexibility than the Xbox Series X and its proprietary expansion cards.

The PS5 Slim is sold as either a digital-only or disc model for $449.99 and $499.99 respectively, but if you feel remorse after giving up your physical media you can buy a drive separately for $80 and snap it on yourself. Heads up: you do have to be connected to the internet to activate the drive on a new console.

While the Slim version is about 30% smaller, it's still a weirdly misshapen, eye-catching thing.

Our previous reviewer, Luke Reilly, described the original PS5 as far and away the most flamboyant-looking console he’s ever owned. While the Slim version is about 30% smaller, it still fits that description. It’s a weirdly misshapen, eye-catching thing, and if you want to lay it horizontally you need to attach a set of little legs between the slots on the disc drive side. They click in quickly and give it a reasonable amount of sturdiness. If you are more of the vertical persuasion, it’s downright sturdy in that orientation as long as you have the disc drive. It’s just a shame that the vertical stand isn’t packed in and has to be purchased separately for $30.

To accommodate that swappable disc drive, there are now two face plates on each side instead of the singular panel per side on the original. I thought I wouldn’t like combining the glossy top panels with the standard matte finishes on the bottom panels, but it’s grown on me. Granted, it's still very new, but every time I see the light reflecting off of it I feel like it's the first day I took it out of the box, and the combined gloss of the top plates and the central part of the PS5 gives it a pleasant luster. The panels are all pretty simple to remove, which is excellent for regular console cleaning, but also makes me look forward to customizing its look with the multicolored PS5 faceplates Sony says it’ll sell at some point in the future.

On the front, you’ll find one Hi-Speed USB Type-C port, one SuperSpeed (10Gbps) Type-C port and the power button. If you have a disc drive, the eject button is actually next to the slot instead of next to the power button – Sony’s finally learned! On the back there are two SuperSpeed USB type-A ports, the HDMI 2.1 port, and Ethernet. That’s plenty for charging controllers, plugging in external storage, and hooking up a PSVR 2. But sorry audiophiles, there’s still no optical audio out.

Apart from the big graphical power jump and short load times, the biggest difference between this generation of PlayStation and the last is the part you hold in your hands. You can check out our full review of the amazing DualSense controller for a more in-depth dive into its features and battery life, but looking at it at the end of 2023, the extent of its wonders varies depending on what game you’re playing and the lengths the developers went to in designing around it. The three-year-old Astro’s Playroom remains one of the best showcases for everything the DualSense can do, and though Insomniac’s Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and Housemarque’s Returnal are other great examples, many others still neglect or overuse the haptic feedback, sometimes making pulling the trigger a chore to the point where I’ve just had to turn it off altogether. But even then, it’s still a nice option to have that you don’t get anywhere else.

It’s also worth mentioning that I did suffer some very slight drift on my launch controller, but that didn’t happen for a little over a year, and I’ve seen no issues with the replacements. This is a far cry from what I dealt with during the PS4 era, where I probably saw drift after about eight months with each controller.

Fun, Anyone?

When you fire it up after the simple setup process, the PS5’s interface doesn’t feel wildly removed from its roots on the PS4, but it’s definitely different – and significantly more elegant in a number of ways. Selecting a game immediately takes over the main menu background and music with dramatic effect. A single tap of the PlayStation button in the center of the controller will bring up what Sony calls the Control Center, which is a little like a taskbar on a Windows PC and lets you quickly switch between your active and recent games and apps like Netflix and Spotify. It’s a big improvement over PS4 – back then, checking things like current downloads and what friends of yours are online required a bunch of shuffling back and forth, up and down, and left and right through menu icons; the PS5’s Control Center places all that info at our fingertips. You can also organize your library into Gamelists, which are basically folders. But heads up, the PS5 doesn’t really have a web browser.

For those who live for the thrill of the Trophy hunt, the objects of your desire are easily accessible to view from each game’s individual splash page on the dashboard, but Trophy info can also be included in the Activity Card view. And as a bonus, you can pin up five trophies to the side of your screen to keep track of your progress as you play.

There’s other interesting stuff sprinkled throughout the PS5’s UI too. When hovering over a game, there is an hour counter that will let you know approximately how long you’ve sunk into it. I say approximately because it usually doesn’t match up with the hour clocks attached to the save files in my games, so it’s possible it's only counting active time and not some of the extended periods I have the game paused. You can also go into the global settings menu to automatically configure difficulty, subtitle preferences, and even invert the Y-axis by default – like the Xbox 360 used to do (take note, Microsoft).

That brings us to Remote Play. You don’t need to invest in Sony’s flashy new PlayStation Portal to play away from your couch – any phone, tablet, or PC can stream your games directly from your personal PlayStation 5 over a local network connection, or even anywhere you have decent internet access. Sony’s game streaming tech also enables features like watching a friend play a game picture-in-picture while you chat with them and play something else entirely, or use Share Play to let them try playing your game over the internet.

If you’re upgrading from PlayStation 4, you can rest assured that all of your old games will make the jump with you, though the process isn’t quite as smooth as it is on Xbox because there’s both a PS4 and PS5 version of everything. Also, this doesn’t apply to PSVR; you can plug your original PSVR into the PS5 and it’ll work, but without any upgrades, and your PSVR library won’t transfer to PSVR 2.

Like the other platforms, Sony has its PlayStation Plus subscription, which is required for online play in most games, but also nets you a handful of games each month that are yours to play as long as you maintain your subscription. PlayStation Plus starts at $9.99 monthly ($79.99 yearly), and goes up to $17.99 monthly ($159.99 yearly) for the highest tier, which gets you access to game trials, cloud streaming for games on the service, and access to download classic games from the PS1 and PS2. As someone who has multiple years subbed to the highest tier, it's an okay foundation, but it’s missing the killer library of Xbox Game Pass and its commitment to bringing first-party games to the service on day one.


PlayStation’s Astro Bot has had a better launch than virtually any non-Super Mario new 3D platform game released in the last decade in Europe. That’s according to GI.biz journalist Christopher Dring, who has knowledge of the PS5 exclusive’s sales performance in the region, including both physical and digital data. According to Dring, a month after its release, Astro Bot sales are currently 34% higher than Sega’s most recent flagship Sonic game, Sonic Frontiers, and 52% bigger than Activision’s Crash 4.


It appears Pokemon developer Game Freak has been hacked, and as a result a couple of unannounced Pokemon games have leaked. More specifically, Gen 10 — which is to say, the next mainline Pokemon game — and a new online MMO. Unfortunately, the leak does not include any media of either game, but rather leaks their existence, their codenames, and some details. Meanwhile, source code for older Pokemon games has also leaked online as part of this hack. The new MMO is reportedly in development under the codename “Synapse” and is being made in collaboration with Game Freak and ILCA. Details on it are scarce, other than that it is an MMO and “battle-focused.” Some sources are also describing the game as similar to Splatoon, but it’s unclear in what ways and where exactly in the leak this is conveyed.


A massive leak related to new Pokemon projects including Gen 10 and what’s assumed to be a multiplayer game has also finally given us an idea of the Nintendo Switch 2’s codename. According to the leak, the Nintendo Switch 2 is being referred to internally as “Ounces” (or “Ounce” depending on who’s sharing the leaks) which is a name that we’ve heard before in regards to the Nintendo Switch successor, but only in passing. The same leak that talked about the Nintendo Switch 2 being codenamed Ounce also indicated, unsurprisingly, that the Gen 10 Pokemon game is indeed in development for the next Nintendo Switch. The Pokemon games and their developer, Game Freak, seem to have suffered from a pretty substantial leak that’s making the rounds online right now. Within screenshots of files and findings being shared online, it’s been confirmed by multiple Nintendo and Pokemon-focused Twitter accounts that there are references to the Nintendo Switch 2 being called “Ounces.”


A cancelled Wii U game is back, this time with a planned Nintendo Switch release. The game in question hails from 2015 and was once planned to release on the Wii U, two years before the Switch even arrived on the scene. This obviously never happened though, but a Nintendo Switch release is set to happen nine years later. In 2015, the games industry saw the likes of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Rocket League, Bloodborne, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Undertale, Fallout 4, Rainbow Six Siege, Halo 5 Guardians, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dying Light, Splatoon, Cities Skylines, Kerbal Space Program, Super Mario Maker, Helldivers, Ori and Blind Forest, Her Story, Until Dawn, and more release. It was a pretty packed year.

Despite getting several chances, Foamstars is still doing poorly. Foamstars was pitched as somewhat of an alternative to the Nintendo-exclusive Splatoon, and while the Square Enix release has plenty of potential, the game has had difficulties finding its footing. Even though Foamstars hasn't even been out for a full year yet, things are looking particularly grim for the free-to-play project. Square Enix attempted to give Foamstars a boost after the company noticed the game was having a hard time, getting rid of its $30 price tag after having already released it on PlayStation Plus. Even then, Foamstars players didn't stick around, and consequently, Square Enix has scrambled to find a more devoted pool of players. Foamstar s' plight bears similarities to Concord, both existing as titles with plenty of AAA support without finding the large pool of players that could have justified the investment of resources. However, Concord's price tag was a big barrier to entry that Foamstars did away with, so its continued struggle is concerning. As such, the chances that Foamstars ends up facing a similar fate as Concord seems to increase the longer the game sticks around.

Until Dawn 2 might be in the works, as actors from the original tease that we'll see more from the horror series. This comes after the remake of the first (and currently, only) Until Dawn game launched with a new ending, seemingly teasing a sequel. Now, two actors from the game appear to be backing this idea, suggesting that we'll finally get a proper follow-up after all this time. Until Dawn Actors Are Seemingly Backing Until Dawn 2 Rumours


Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are protesting a controversial change made to the game’s campaign by Treyarch. Whether it is Call of Duty: Warzone, or traditional Call of Duty multiplayer, the online elements of COD have dominated their offline counterparts in terms of attention for years. Whether it is zombies or the campaign, the single-player, offline parts of Call of Duty are only a fraction of the overall experience. And even these are losing their offline elements. In the past, Call of Duty campaigns could be played offline. As long as you had the game on disc, you could put in the console and start playing the campaign without ever connecting to Internet. Over time, this has transformed to playable offline campaigns that require an online check to download and start the campaign. And now, with Black Ops 6, players are going to need to be connected to the Internet the entire time they play the campaign.


Sony is adding Siren to PS Plus Premium from 15th October, which is potentially huge news. This is because the PS2 survival horror is actually already part of the subscription, as it was ported to the PS4 in 2016. The Japanese giant pulled the plug on its ill-fated PS2 on PS4 programme after fans complained of shoddy emulation and a lack of features, but this proves it’s willing to re-release games in its new emulator. Why is this significant? Because it means titles like Twisted Metal Black, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and crucially Ape Escape 2 – which is currently broken in PS5 backwards compatibility – could eventually be re-released in the new emulator as well. The new emulator – while far from perfect – is superior to its predecessor because it performs better, has rewind functionality and save states, and allows you to toggle between PAL and NTSC releases. In some instances in the past, like with Ape Escape 2, the platform holder only ported the European game code, which runs at a slower 50Hz compared to its American alternative.

Video game fans always look to fall as a special time of year, because there’s almost always a string of major releases timed for the holiday season to come. 2024 has already been a year of big releases, but rather than being the calm before the storm, September 2024 was an equal part of the storm with big releases that each had a hand in boosting game sales in Europe 20%.


Announced at the end of 2021, Ubisoft has maintained admirable radio silence on the status of the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake, so much so that rumours of its cancellation even began to crop up. Well, we have an update, with a report from Insider Gaming confirming Sam Fisher's return is still in development, known by the codename "North." According to the outlet, Ubisoft Toronto is using the Snowdrop engine the publisher has previously employed in games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws, but the project is still a long way off. Insiders' sources said we will probably be waiting until 2026 for a release date because, in classic video game fashion, the franchise-rebooting Splinter Cell game was still in the "very earliest stages of development" when first revealed.

Two new studios co-founded by former Disco Elysium developers have been announced on the same day. On Friday morning, around twelve former ZA/UM staff announced the creation of Longdue Games, a studio said to be working on a spiritual successor to the acclaimed RPG. At the same time, another UK-based studio, ‘Dark Math Games’, was announced, with around 20 former Disco Elysium staff said to be on board creating their own detective RPG named XXX Nightshift. Longdue Games, which also includes developers who previously worked at Rockstar, Bungie and Brave At Night, says it “aims to create games that resonate emotionally and intellectually”, and that it’s “here to build a reputation for consistently delivering quality, with a focus on depth and narrative integrity”. Its first game is being billed as a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium, and Longdue says it “explores the delicate interplay between the conscious and subconscious, the seen and unseen”. The game is described as a “psychogeographic RPG”, with a unique mechanic “where every decision reshapes both the world and the characters that inhabit it”. Meanwhile, Dark Math’s XXX Nightshift claims to deliver “a deep single-player role-playing experience with many tools and layers of gameplay”, plus a “unique companion dynamic” which “adds more fun and offers different paths to solve cases”. “The innovative and powerful role-playing system respects your time and trusts your intelligence with seismic choices,” it says. “It’s up to you to decide how your story unfolds—and how it ends.” A gameplay trailer for Nightshift’s game can be seen below.


A new job listing posted by WB Montreal has heavily indicated the studio is working on a new AAA title based on the DC Comics universe. The company’s Game Development team is hiring for a Senior Producer, which mentions that the candidate will be “working on AAA titles set in the DC Comics Universe.” It doesn’t actually mention a specific franchise, but it should be noted that WB Montreal obviously has the chops for DC-based titles, having worked on the likes of Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights.


The original version of Age of Empires 3 has been removed from sale, with the multiplayer mode set to be taken offline at the end of the month. A message posted on the Steam page for the game’s Definitive Edition remaster states that the original version is no longer available to buy. The game’s online multiplayer mode will also stop working from October 30, “due to the technology no longer being supported”. Players who already own the game will still be able to play campaign and skirmish content, with only the multiplayer mode being removed. Age of Empires 3, developed by Ensemble Studios, was originally released on PC in 2005. A remaster called Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition was released in 2020. Developed by Tantalus Media and Forgotten Empires, the remaster offered improved graphics, a new soundtrack, new game modes and new civilisations. The Definitive Edition of the game will continue to be availble to purchase on Steam and the Windows Store, and is available on PC Game Pass too.


PlayStation will soon have no competition in some regions as Xbox has reportedly decided to bow out of the markets.

Looks like that rumor has turned out to be true. PlayStation domination to continue as Xbox scales back According to a known Saudi Arabian journalist, who goes as MAlbsimi on X, Microsoft has informed retailers in the country that it will no longer sell Xbox hardware in Saudi Arabia. He added that local distributors won’t be able to officially procure stock, and when MAlbsimi sought a statement from Microsoft, the company declined to give one.


Epic Games has said its Fortnite racing game, Rocket Racing, is ending themed updates, less than a year after it launched. In the patch notes for its latest release, Epic said: “v31.40 brings the theme back to the starting line as we say goodbye to Inferno Island and themed updates”. It added: “Future updates will be taking new roads with refreshed Ranked periods, renewed Quests, and additional Car items you can take to the track!” The company notes that new tracks from creators “are releasing every day” for players looking for new content to try out. Developed by Rocket League studio Psyonix, Rocket Racing is billed as “a supersonic arcade racer where players drift, fly, and boost with friends through an ever-growing selection of tracks”. The racing game was one of three new games released inside Fortnite last December, alongside Lego Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival. At the time, Epic said the three games were not limited modes, but “here to stay – with regular updates”. Epic Games acquired San Diego-based Psyonix in 2019. Epic Games published Rocket League Sideswipe for Android and iOS in 2024.


Earlier this year, reports emerged that an expanded version of Hogwarts Legacy was in development, with Rocksteady Studios providing development support on the project. Now, a report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed further potential light on what the alleged re-release of the 2022 open world action RPG will entail. As per the report, Hogwarts Legacy Definitive Edition will feature as much as 10-15 hours of completely new content, which will include not only main story missions, but also new side quests, outfits, and more. The new content will also be offered as DLC to those who already own the base version of the game, and though no final decisions have yet been made on release date and pricing, the report claims that the DLC could launch at some point in 2025 at a price point between $20 and $30.


Expect to see a wide variety of PS5 Pro enhanced games from studios both big and small, if a dev statement is anything to go by. Apparently, Sony has made the development workflow for PS5 Pro quite convenient even for small teams, ensuring that enhancements for the hardware aren’t limited to big games. List of PS5 Pro enhanced games continues to grow Over on ResetEra (thanks, TwistedVoxel), a dev who goes as Koralsky revealed that they are working on two games with native PS5 Pro support, one of which will get an enhancement patch while the other will launch with enhancements.

Sonic X Shadow Generations has leaked two weeks ahead of launch, with spoiler filled videos and images of the game being posted online. Sonic X Shadow Generations is currently one of the most anticipated releases from Sega and Sonic Team, as not only is it a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, but it also features a new, parallel campaign focused on Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow's side of the game has him fighting off Black Doom, who has mysteriously come back after his defeat at the end of Shadow the Hedgehog. Sonic X Shadow Generations is launching on October 25, meaning fans won't need to wait too much longer until its release. Sega and Sonic Team have been getting fans hyped for the game through various story and gameplay trailers showing off some of Shadow's enemies and Doom Powers. A prequel animated series focused on Shadow's backstory, Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings, was also released in anticipation of the game. However, fans looking to go into Sonic X Shadow Generations completely blind should be wary, as leaks about the game are already online, including major spoilers.Based on some recent reports and social media posts, Sonic X Shadow Generations' Nintendo Switch ROM has reportedly leaked online. This continues an unfortunate trend regarding Nintendo Switch games being pirated before release, as Super Mario Party Jamboree similarly got leaked recently. Gamers with access to the leaked ROM can play the game unofficially using a hacked Switch console or emulator. As a result of the leak, Sonic X Shadow Generations' content has been posted online, with various images and videos being shared on Twitter and YouTube. It's been confirmed that these videos and images of the game contain various spoilers about the gameplay and story of Shadow Generations. A map of Shadow Generations' White Space overworld was posted, along with reportedly rewritten and re-voiced cutscenes from the base game of Sonic Generations to fit with the new content. Many fans are excited about Shadow Generations' campaign, as it features Sonic's iconic anti-hero rival in the starring role. Shadow's Doom Powers, boss fights, and story developments were all things that many fans wanted to see on their own and be surprised about, especially when it involves important characters. Fans looking for a completely blind experience going into Sonic X Shadow Generations should take the appropriate measures to avoid being spoiled for the next two weeks.

CD Projekt is in a weird spot. The Polish gaming giant enjoyed a DLC launch that practically made Cyberpunk 2077 a new game, while increasing player satisfaction along with other recent wins. At the same time, content creators like Endymion have attempted to convince the industry that the company is having a horrible time as the gaming industry fights to maintain stability. Does this seem strange to you? If so, you may have a friend in CDPR's joint CEO Michał Nowakowski." Nowakowski was compelled to reply to a post by YouTuber Endymion, one of many who has engaged in "anti-woke" or "anti-DEI" conspiracies that blame diversity for most problems surrounding modern game releases.


Sony has been updating Concord game files on Steam’s back-end, leading to speculations that it’s preparing for the game’s return as a free-to-play (F2P) title. Although this seems like the logical next step, analysts and industry professionals have expressed doubts that going F2P will save the doomed multiplayer shooter. Concord’s return as F2P game is the only option Sony has Screenshots of Concord’s Steam database (taken from SteamDB) are being shared on Reddit, showing activity as recent as October 8. While we can’t decipher the changelog, gamers are convinced that Firewalk Studios is gearing up for an F2P release. Having reportedly sunk millions into Concord, Sony doesn’t really have a lot of options to salvage the game, if that is even possible at this point. It doesn’t sound wise to spend more money on revamping a project that has been so thoroughly rejected by players that even its open beta saw abysmal numbers. I’m no expert, but I see Concord’s return as an F2P game as the only viable option that Sony has left. How soon that’ll happen, though, is anybody’s guess. Meanwhile, Concord dev Firewalk is reportedly bracing for impact after releasing what has been called one of the biggest flops in video game history.


Circana’s Mat Piscatella has revealed sales data for US video game and hardware sales for August 2024. To no one’s surprise, EA Sports’ Madden NFL 25 topped the charts, officially marking the 25th consecutive year that a new entry in the franchise has done so in its launch month. EA Sports College Football 25 ranked second on the list, dropping one rank from its debut but remaining the best-selling title of the year (with Madden NFL 25 in 12th). Then there’s the EA Sports MVP Bundle, containing both football titles, which came in at fourth place but became the fourth best-selling game of the year thus far in dollar sales. As for other releases during the month, Star Wars Outlaws debuted in third place, Visions of Mana ranked tenth, and Gundam Breaker 4 in 11th. Total projected spending on hardware, content, and accessories reached $4.1 billion, dropping by seven percent versus the same month last year. However, year-to-date spending topped $36.3 billion, a one percent increase.

Until Dawn 2 might be in the works, as actors from the original tease that we'll see more from the horror series. This comes after the remake of the first (and currently, only) Until Dawn game launched with a new ending, seemingly teasing a sequel. Now, two actors from the game appear to be backing this idea, suggesting that we'll finally get a proper follow-up after all this time. Until Dawn Actors Are Seemingly Backing Until Dawn 2 Rumours


Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are protesting a controversial change made to the game’s campaign by Treyarch. Whether it is Call of Duty: Warzone, or traditional Call of Duty multiplayer, the online elements of COD have dominated their offline counterparts in terms of attention for years. Whether it is zombies or the campaign, the single-player, offline parts of Call of Duty are only a fraction of the overall experience. And even these are losing their offline elements. In the past, Call of Duty campaigns could be played offline. As long as you had the game on disc, you could put in the console and start playing the campaign without ever connecting to Internet. Over time, this has transformed to playable offline campaigns that require an online check to download and start the campaign. And now, with Black Ops 6, players are going to need to be connected to the Internet the entire time they play the campaign.


Sony is adding Siren to PS Plus Premium from 15th October, which is potentially huge news. This is because the PS2 survival horror is actually already part of the subscription, as it was ported to the PS4 in 2016. The Japanese giant pulled the plug on its ill-fated PS2 on PS4 programme after fans complained of shoddy emulation and a lack of features, but this proves it’s willing to re-release games in its new emulator. Why is this significant? Because it means titles like Twisted Metal Black, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, and crucially Ape Escape 2 – which is currently broken in PS5 backwards compatibility – could eventually be re-released in the new emulator as well. The new emulator – while far from perfect – is superior to its predecessor because it performs better, has rewind functionality and save states, and allows you to toggle between PAL and NTSC releases. In some instances in the past, like with Ape Escape 2, the platform holder only ported the European game code, which runs at a slower 50Hz compared to its American alternative.

Video game fans always look to fall as a special time of year, because there’s almost always a string of major releases timed for the holiday season to come. 2024 has already been a year of big releases, but rather than being the calm before the storm, September 2024 was an equal part of the storm with big releases that each had a hand in boosting game sales in Europe 20%.


Announced at the end of 2021, Ubisoft has maintained admirable radio silence on the status of the upcoming Splinter Cell Remake, so much so that rumours of its cancellation even began to crop up. Well, we have an update, with a report from Insider Gaming confirming Sam Fisher's return is still in development, known by the codename "North." According to the outlet, Ubisoft Toronto is using the Snowdrop engine the publisher has previously employed in games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and Star Wars Outlaws, but the project is still a long way off. Insiders' sources said we will probably be waiting until 2026 for a release date because, in classic video game fashion, the franchise-rebooting Splinter Cell game was still in the "very earliest stages of development" when first revealed.

Two new studios co-founded by former Disco Elysium developers have been announced on the same day. On Friday morning, around twelve former ZA/UM staff announced the creation of Longdue Games, a studio said to be working on a spiritual successor to the acclaimed RPG. At the same time, another UK-based studio, ‘Dark Math Games’, was announced, with around 20 former Disco Elysium staff said to be on board creating their own detective RPG named XXX Nightshift. Longdue Games, which also includes developers who previously worked at Rockstar, Bungie and Brave At Night, says it “aims to create games that resonate emotionally and intellectually”, and that it’s “here to build a reputation for consistently delivering quality, with a focus on depth and narrative integrity”. Its first game is being billed as a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium, and Longdue says it “explores the delicate interplay between the conscious and subconscious, the seen and unseen”. The game is described as a “psychogeographic RPG”, with a unique mechanic “where every decision reshapes both the world and the characters that inhabit it”. Meanwhile, Dark Math’s XXX Nightshift claims to deliver “a deep single-player role-playing experience with many tools and layers of gameplay”, plus a “unique companion dynamic” which “adds more fun and offers different paths to solve cases”. “The innovative and powerful role-playing system respects your time and trusts your intelligence with seismic choices,” it says. “It’s up to you to decide how your story unfolds—and how it ends.” A gameplay trailer for Nightshift’s game can be seen below.


A new job listing posted by WB Montreal has heavily indicated the studio is working on a new AAA title based on the DC Comics universe. The company’s Game Development team is hiring for a Senior Producer, which mentions that the candidate will be “working on AAA titles set in the DC Comics Universe.” It doesn’t actually mention a specific franchise, but it should be noted that WB Montreal obviously has the chops for DC-based titles, having worked on the likes of Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights.


The original version of Age of Empires 3 has been removed from sale, with the multiplayer mode set to be taken offline at the end of the month. A message posted on the Steam page for the game’s Definitive Edition remaster states that the original version is no longer available to buy. The game’s online multiplayer mode will also stop working from October 30, “due to the technology no longer being supported”. Players who already own the game will still be able to play campaign and skirmish content, with only the multiplayer mode being removed. Age of Empires 3, developed by Ensemble Studios, was originally released on PC in 2005. A remaster called Age of Empires 3: Definitive Edition was released in 2020. Developed by Tantalus Media and Forgotten Empires, the remaster offered improved graphics, a new soundtrack, new game modes and new civilisations. The Definitive Edition of the game will continue to be availble to purchase on Steam and the Windows Store, and is available on PC Game Pass too.


PlayStation will soon have no competition in some regions as Xbox has reportedly decided to bow out of the markets. We first heard back in July that Microsoft was preparing to limit its operations in Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), following which a rumor circulated in September that Microsoft was considering stopping sales of Xbox entirely in the Middle East. Looks like that rumor has turned out to be true. PlayStation domination to continue as Xbox scales back According to a known Saudi Arabian journalist, who goes as MAlbsimi on X, Microsoft has informed retailers in the country that it will no longer sell Xbox hardware in Saudi Arabia. He added that local distributors won’t be able to officially procure stock, and when MAlbsimi sought a statement from Microsoft, the company declined to give one.


Epic Games has said its Fortnite racing game, Rocket Racing, is ending themed updates, less than a year after it launched. In the patch notes for its latest release, Epic said: “v31.40 brings the theme back to the starting line as we say goodbye to Inferno Island and themed updates”. It added: “Future updates will be taking new roads with refreshed Ranked periods, renewed Quests, and additional Car items you can take to the track!” The company notes that new tracks from creators “are releasing every day” for players looking for new content to try out. Developed by Rocket League studio Psyonix, Rocket Racing is billed as “a supersonic arcade racer where players drift, fly, and boost with friends through an ever-growing selection of tracks”. The racing game was one of three new games released inside Fortnite last December, alongside Lego Fortnite, and Fortnite Festival. At the time, Epic said the three games were not limited modes, but “here to stay – with regular updates”. Epic Games acquired San Diego-based Psyonix in 2019. Epic Games published Rocket League Sideswipe for Android and iOS in 2024.


Earlier this year, reports emerged that an expanded version of Hogwarts Legacy was in development, with Rocksteady Studios providing development support on the project. Now, a report published by Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson has shed further potential light on what the alleged re-release of the 2022 open world action RPG will entail. As per the report, Hogwarts Legacy Definitive Edition will feature as much as 10-15 hours of completely new content, which will include not only main story missions, but also new side quests, outfits, and more. The new content will also be offered as DLC to those who already own the base version of the game, and though no final decisions have yet been made on release date and pricing, the report claims that the DLC could launch at some point in 2025 at a price point between $20 and $30.


Expect to see a wide variety of PS5 Pro enhanced games from studios both big and small, if a dev statement is anything to go by. Apparently, Sony has made the development workflow for PS5 Pro quite convenient even for small teams, ensuring that enhancements for the hardware aren’t limited to big games. List of PS5 Pro enhanced games continues to grow Over on ResetEra (thanks, TwistedVoxel), a dev who goes as Koralsky revealed that they are working on two games with native PS5 Pro support, one of which will get an enhancement patch while the other will launch with enhancements.

Sonic X Shadow Generations has leaked two weeks ahead of launch, with spoiler filled videos and images of the game being posted online. Sonic X Shadow Generations is currently one of the most anticipated releases from Sega and Sonic Team, as not only is it a remaster of 2011's Sonic Generations, but it also features a new, parallel campaign focused on Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow's side of the game has him fighting off Black Doom, who has mysteriously come back after his defeat at the end of Shadow the Hedgehog. Sonic X Shadow Generations is launching on October 25, meaning fans won't need to wait too much longer until its release. Sega and Sonic Team have been getting fans hyped for the game through various story and gameplay trailers showing off some of Shadow's enemies and Doom Powers. A prequel animated series focused on Shadow's backstory, Sonic X Shadow Generations: Dark Beginnings, was also released in anticipation of the game. However, fans looking to go into Sonic X Shadow Generations completely blind should be wary, as leaks about the game are already online, including major spoilers.Based on some recent reports and social media posts, Sonic X Shadow Generations' Nintendo Switch ROM has reportedly leaked online. This continues an unfortunate trend regarding Nintendo Switch games being pirated before release, as Super Mario Party Jamboree similarly got leaked recently. Gamers with access to the leaked ROM can play the game unofficially using a hacked Switch console or emulator. As a result of the leak, Sonic X Shadow Generations' content has been posted online, with various images and videos being shared on Twitter and YouTube. It's been confirmed that these videos and images of the game contain various spoilers about the gameplay and story of Shadow Generations. A map of Shadow Generations' White Space overworld was posted, along with reportedly rewritten and re-voiced cutscenes from the base game of Sonic Generations to fit with the new content. Many fans are excited about Shadow Generations' campaign, as it features Sonic's iconic anti-hero rival in the starring role. Shadow's Doom Powers, boss fights, and story developments were all things that many fans wanted to see on their own and be surprised about, especially when it involves important characters. Fans looking for a completely blind experience going into Sonic X Shadow Generations should take the appropriate measures to avoid being spoiled for the next two weeks.

CD Projekt is in a weird spot. The Polish gaming giant enjoyed a DLC launch that practically made Cyberpunk 2077 a new game, while increasing player satisfaction along with other recent wins. At the same time, content creators like Endymion have attempted to convince the industry that the company is having a horrible time as the gaming industry fights to maintain stability. Does this seem strange to you? If so, you may have a friend in CDPR's joint CEO Michał Nowakowski." Nowakowski was compelled to reply to a post by YouTuber Endymion, one of many who has engaged in "anti-woke" or "anti-DEI" conspiracies that blame diversity for most problems surrounding modern game releases.


Sony has been updating Concord game files on Steam’s back-end, leading to speculations that it’s preparing for the game’s return as a free-to-play (F2P) title. Although this seems like the logical next step, analysts and industry professionals have expressed doubts that going F2P will save the doomed multiplayer shooter. Concord’s return as F2P game is the only option Sony has Screenshots of Concord’s Steam database (taken from SteamDB) are being shared on Reddit, showing activity as recent as October 8. While we can’t decipher the changelog, gamers are convinced that Firewalk Studios is gearing up for an F2P release. Having reportedly sunk millions into Concord, Sony doesn’t really have a lot of options to salvage the game, if that is even possible at this point. It doesn’t sound wise to spend more money on revamping a project that has been so thoroughly rejected by players that even its open beta saw abysmal numbers. I’m no expert, but I see Concord’s return as an F2P game as the only viable option that Sony has left. How soon that’ll happen, though, is anybody’s guess. Meanwhile, Concord dev Firewalk is reportedly bracing for impact after releasing what has been called one of the biggest flops in video game history.


Circana’s Mat Piscatella has revealed sales data for US video game and hardware sales for August 2024. To no one’s surprise, EA Sports’ Madden NFL 25 topped the charts, officially marking the 25th consecutive year that a new entry in the franchise has done so in its launch month. EA Sports College Football 25 ranked second on the list, dropping one rank from its debut but remaining the best-selling title of the year (with Madden NFL 25 in 12th). Then there’s the EA Sports MVP Bundle, containing both football titles, which came in at fourth place but became the fourth best-selling game of the year thus far in dollar sales. As for other releases during the month, Star Wars Outlaws debuted in third place, Visions of Mana ranked tenth, and Gundam Breaker 4 in 11th. Total projected spending on hardware, content, and accessories reached $4.1 billion, dropping by seven percent versus the same month last year. However, year-to-date spending topped $36.3 billion, a one percent increase.

Creature Commandos received a brand-new trailer at NYCC, and it reveals an extended preview of the show that will officially kick off the DCU. Oh, and it gave us our first look at Clayface and Circe in the series!

The footage begins with Amanda Waller talking to Rick Flagg Sr., saying he finds himself in the middle of an "international incident." We are then introduced to some of the big players in the animated series - who are not human prisoners since the US congress said they could not use them - and they include The Bride, Doctor Phosphorus, The Weasel, Nina Mazursky, and G.I. Robot.

As previously mentioned, we also get a look at some of the big bads our team will be facing off against like Clayface and Circe.

Creature Commandos obviously has a very Suicide Squad vibe, as a ragtag team of super individuals are being forced to work as a team for one goal. It also is very brutal, with some of the footage showing exploding heads, impaling, and more.

James Gunn's Creature Commandos will arrive on Max on December 5, 2024, and it has a star-studded cast that includes Steve Agee, Maria Baklava, Anya Chalotra, Zoe Chao, Frank Grillo, Sean Gunn, David Harbour, Alan Tudyk, Indira Varma, and Viola Davis.

Gunn also teased there will be some big guest stars, including Michael Rooker, Peter Serafinowicz, Linda Cardellini, and more.

Creature Commandos will kick off the DCU's Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, which also includes Superman: Legacy and Peacemaker: Season 2. The show's first season will run for seven episodes, and a new one will drop each week.

Gunn and members of the Creatures Commandos team were also at NYCC to share more about Creature Commandos, and we learned more about what we can expect.

David Harbour, who plays Frankenstein, discussed the Frankenstein and the Bride story, saying he loves how Frankenstein's monster was being created to be a companion and, despite it being a familiar theme and story, he thinks people will be really surprised by the take in the show.

Grillo, who plays Rick Flagg Sr., says he "fell in love" with this show and his character "immediately."

"It's a character that's in my wheelhouse," Grillo continued. "This troubled man who has to take care of all these maniacs."

Flagg Sr. will have romances of kinds with both David Harbour's and Maria Bakalova's characters in Creature Commandos, and Gunn teased that there is a video of Grillo and Bakalova attempting to voice a sex scene in the recording booth. Apparently, the actors made out with their own hands and Gunn will release the behind-the-scenes footage with episode 2.

Gunn also teased that Episode 4 of Creature Commandos is the "saddest thing he's ever written" and the "one I most wanted to get right." After Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3, we are all a bit scared as to what that could mean!

Furthermore, Gunn shared that the show will have references to Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad, but fans won't need to have watched them before enjoying Creature Commandos.

For more, check out the first teaser trailer for Creature Commandos from SDCC, our feature on some amazing Creature Commandos comic book covers, and all the other big news at NYCC.
