Though it’s going to be a while before we see more of Sony’s animated Spider-Verse or Marvel’s live-action take on Peter Parker, Amazon’s Spider-Noir series is right around the corner. Today, Amazon dropped a new trailer for its upcoming Spider-Noir starring Nicolas Cage as a brooding Spider-Man variant. Set in an alternate reality where it’s […]
Highguard, a new multiplayer shooter from developers who worked on games like Apex Legends and Call of Duty, launched just over two weeks ago, but developer Wildlight Entertainment is already cutting jobs at the company, according to posts from affected staffers on LinkedIn.

Ableton is rolling out the Live 12.4 Beta with a number of new features, but the headliner is Link Audio, which enables real-time collaboration between devices on a local network.

A few weeks ago, I locked eyes with Sir Ian McKellen as he told me a story about how I was born, where I grew up, and when I would eventually die. Some of the details were a little off, but others were so unsettlingly on the money that it felt like he really did […]
A postmodern surrealist tale of geopolitics. An otaku’s hellbent journey to become the top-ranked assassin. A high school cheerleader who kills zombies with a chainsaw and pompoms, with a story co-written by James Gunn.

When you buy a new Nintendo device, there are a few things you can expect: namely, some excellent Super Mario, Pokémon, and Legend of Zelda games, and maybe a great Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, or Smash Bros. The question mark has always been the other stuff. But with the Switch 2, it doesn’t seem like […]
Riot Games is already “reducing the size” of the team working on its recently-released free-to-play fighting game 2XKO, according to a post from executive producer Tom Cannon.
