Resident Evil Movie Director Teases His Vision For The Reboot

6 hours 38 min ago

Weapons and Barbarian director Zach Cregger has further teased his upcoming Resident Evil movie, saying he's making a movie that's unlike anything he's ever seen. He also addressed how he expects there to be fan blowback for what he's doing with the Resident Evil franchise.

"I love the idea of being pitted against a world that is hellbent on annihilating you," Cregger told The New York Times. "It just feels fun and I haven't seen a movie that offers that sort of experience."

He went on to say that if his movie deviates from popular Resident Evil lore, he would expect that some part of the fandom to "crucify" him.

The Last Of Us Season 3 Videos Leak From The Set, Showing Abby And Lev

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 23:10

Production on the third season of HBO's The Last of Us series is now underway, and videos and images from the set have emerged, showing the characters Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and Lev (Kyriana Kratter).

Filming is taking place in Vancouver, and with some shoots taking place in public places, people took out their phones and starting filming the production. In this video, we see Abby walking across the top of a building, holding a long rifle, surrounded by production crew. Lev can be seen as well, wielding a bow and arrow. Close-up images of Abby and Lev were also snapped from the set.

As in the game, Lev will be depicted in the TV as a 13-year-old transgender boy. Kratter, who is 15 and played breakout character KB in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, is understood to be cisgender. This has prompted discussion and debate.

To that end, Khazan's story is far from over. "We're pouring ourselves into it with genuine excitement, truly hoping from the bottom of our hearts that you'll love what's to come," Lee added. To thank players, developer Neople has granted everyone a first anniversary armor and weapon set. Everyone who has purchased the game, even if you haven't logged in yet, will receive the Immortal Fury set.

All Pokemon Pokopia Food, Cooking Recipes, And Effects

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 19:49

In Pokemon Pokopia, you're not only tasked with building habitats for Pokemon, but sometimes you'll be requested to provide them with specific food items. Cooking up some recipes can also be beneficial to you and power up Ditto's moves. In this guide, we'll explain all of the different food items and recipes found in Pokopia, as well as how to cook them and the benefits they provide.

Table of Contents [hide]How to unlock cooking in Pokopia

You unlock the ability to cook after you reach the Great rank in your Pokedex and open the gate to Rocky Ridges. From there, you'll need to start the main questline for Rocky Ridges and meet Chef Dente.

Chef Dente will explain the basics in a tutorial for cutting leaves for a salad and baking bread in an oven. There are some more complex recipes the Pokemon will request from you, but don't worry, we'll guide you through cooking each one.

GTA 4 Dev Kit, Complete With Unfinished Zombies Mode, Reportedly Sold Out Of Car Trunk

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 08:17

A Grand Theft Auto 4 devkit for the Xbox 360 was sold out of the boot of a car over the weekend, according to a report from Kotaku. Even crazier? It contains the remains of the game's abandoned Zombies mode.

"I go to car boot sales quite often, partly to get stuff to resell and partly to get stuff for my personal collection," the buyer, known only as Jan, explained. "When doing my rounds, I saw what I immediately recognised as a Phat Xbox 360, with what I first thought looked like a 'tumour' sticking out of it, later turning out to be the Sidecar.”

The Sidecar is an extra bit of hardware attached to Xbox 360 devkits, though Jan assumed it was just a modded console. The truth didn't hit until he picked it up and noticed the Rockstar North sticker on the side of the devkit. Jan lives in Edinburgh, home of Rockstar North, so the devkit's appearance at the sale isn't entirely inexplicable.

The Next Piece Of World Of Warcraft Merch Is Nothing You'd Guess

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 06:50

Blizzard has teamed up with Lodge to create a cast iron skillet themed around World of Warcraft, and it comes with an in-game pet.

The 10.25-inch, 5.66-pound skillet features the World of Warcraft logo on the bottom, and like other Lodge cast iron skillets, it comes pre-seasoned. The skillet costs $37, which is a premium over the same generic 10.25-inch skillet that sells for $30 (but you can regularly get it for less if you look around for a deal).

Everyone who buys the WoW skillet also gets the Cinder Kitten companion pet for use in the MMO. The pet sells for $10 separately, so if you want this skillet and the pet, it's a good deal.

Where to Buy A PS5, PS5 Pro, Or PS Portal Before The Prices Go Up This Week

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 05:35

Sony is once again raising the price of the PlayStation 5, PS5 Pro, and PS Portal hardware, and consumers are rushing to purchase the console (or trade theirs in for a better model) before this price increase goes into effect on April 2. Now, gaming retailer GameStop has entered the fray, looking to connect players with Sony's hardware before the price goes up for good.

"We heard the news," GameStop shared in a recent post on X. "On April 2, 2026, Sony will raise the price of the PlayStation 5 Pro to $899.99. We're here to help. GameStop stores nationwide are now offering extra credit on all hardware, so whether you're trading in a base PS5 for a PS5 Pro or dusting off an old console, now's your chance to beat the change and upgrade for less."

GameStop followed up with another post advertising its upgrade program. "Upgrade to a PS5 Pro now for just $349," the post reads. "While you still can." A look at the fine print clarifies that this deal is only available to GameStop Pro members. GameStop's loyalty program offers a number of benefits (like extra credit on trade-ins), but membership costs $25 per year.

The Last Of Us Boss Says There Are A "Few Stops That Remain On The Road Ahead"

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 05:18

Neil Druckmann, the Naughty Dog veteran best known for his work on the Uncharted and The Last of Us franchises, has teased that there might be more The Last of Us to come.

In a post on Instagram, Druckmann said he came across his original sketches from 2003 for the game that would become The Last of Us, and remarked that it's been a "wild journey." Then he went on to tease that he might not be finished with the series.

"Grateful for every part of it, especially the few stops that remain on the road ahead," he said.

The PS5 Pro Is Still Worth It--For Now

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 05:11

Sony announced massive price increases for its PS5 consoles last week, with the PS5 Pro getting slapped with the biggest price hike out of all of them: a whopping $150, pushing the MSRP of the hardware to $900. The good news is that the new price hasn't gone into effect yet, but the bad news is that time is running out, as you only have until April 2 to get a PS5 Pro at its current price of $750.

Why is the PS5 Pro price increasing so much?

Officially, Sony says that "continued pressures in the global economic landscape" have forced its hand, leading to the price increases. With an AI-driven demand for components like SSDs and RAM, it's no wonder that the cost of producing PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles has gone up, with the PS5 Pro in particular being equipped with a 2TB SSD, 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, and 2GB of DDR5 RAM. It's not the first time that Sony has faced issues involving manufacturing costs, but the global semiconductor shortage of the early 2020s pales in comparison to current world events, geopolitical instability, and US president Donald Trump's tariffs.

Do I need a PS5 Pro in 2026?

The PS5 Pro is a great console, if you have the right tech to support it. The build quality is rock-solid, and the internal hardware--along with the improved PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR)--make 4K 60fps games more viable on it. But to see those results, you will need a top-notch TV, and those aren't exactly cheap either. A disc drive is also not included, so if you were planning to watch 4K Blu-rays or play physical games on the PS5 Pro, that's an extra expense to consider.

A Forgotten Elder Scrolls Game Is Shutting Down Soon

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 05:09

One of Bethesda Game Studio's Elder Scrolls spin-offs, The Elder Scrolls: Blades, will be shutting down in June, according to a post on the Nintendo eShop.

The free-to-play dungeon crawler and town-builder's last day will be June 30, after which the game's servers will go offline, rendering the entire game inaccessible. In the meantime, all items in The Elder Scrolls: Blades' store will be purchasable with a single Sigil or Gem, so players can "enjoy all the content Blades has to offer," according to Bethesda.

Blades released in 2019 and saw players battling through dungeons to score loot, then returning to town to upgrade and customize the settlement. The game additionally included one-on-one arena PvP battles, with cross-play and cross-progression across devices.

Not Even Crimson Desert's Main Character VA Understood The Game's Story

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 04:37

While Crimson Desert has seen huge success since its March 19 launch on consoles and PC, toppling its own concurrent player numbers and selling over 3 million copies to date, the game isn't without its flaws. The narrative is one of them, as it's so confusing that not even Kliff's voice actor was able to make much sense of it.

Speaking on Skill Up's Friends Per Second podcast on March 29 (via Eurogamer), Alec Newman expressed how important writing is for any medium. He said he kept seeking clarity about the story and the characters because the project, to Newman, "felt very much like making a TV series" where the focus kept changing. This isn't a secret--Crimson Desert started as a prequel to developer Pearl Abyss' MMORPG Black Desert Online before transforming into the single-player action-adventure RPG that it is now--but it certainly presented continuity changes for Newman and the other VAs.

"I don't want to say they kept changing the goalpost, but we started off recording with cards of the different parts of Pywell and the various characters," Newman said. "He's from this faction and he's from that faction, and I kept just saying, 'Yes, but what is happening?'"

How To Get Paper In Pokemon Pokopia

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 03:30

If you're anything like me, as soon as Pokemon Pokopia declared the need for paper to complete the next step of the Team Initiation Challenge, you suddenly forgot how on earth to craft it. Thankfully, I figured it out via a painstaking method of deduction. Luckily for you, I wrote it down so you don't have to talk to tens of Pokemon before remembering the right way to get it done.

There are several Pokemon that can help to make paper, but before that, you'll need to gather up some bundles of Wastepaper. These will be given to specific Pokemon in order to craft it into normal paper. You can find Wastepaper in the Sparkling Skylands in abundance, so head there to get as much as you need.

After that, you'll need to track down a Pokemon with the Recycle ability. From my earlier hours in the game, I remembered Trubbish having this exclusive specialty, so I headed to him for all my paper needs. You could also ask the likes of Metang, Garbador, Magnezone, Koffing, Weezing, Cinccino, Porygon, Porygon2, Beldum, or Metagross. Remember, if you're ever wondering which specialty a Pokemon has, our full Pokopia Pokedex has you covered.

You Might Never Hold Your Steam Library In Your Hands, But This New Game Is The Next Best Thing

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 03:28

Oh sure, your Steam library might be unreasonably enormous, but what your life is really missing is the finicky organization that collectors crave. A new game is aiming to replicate that feeling by letting you nicely organize your actual Steam library onto shelves.

Boxroom, announced as part of Steam's House and Home Fest, looks and plays a lot like other home designer sims like House Flipper. The major difference here is that you're just designing one room, and it can creates a virtual space to store your whole Steam library. A demo is available now that lets you try out the concept with a random assortment of your Steam games.

Boxroom

The trailer shows lots of flexibility in organizing your room, not all of which is available in this demo. But you can place some shelves and sort through your game collection to place them on those shelves, which is very satisfying for those of us who are fastidious about having everything placed just-so.

Crimson Desert Update Seemingly Replaces AI Artwork

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 03:19

A new update for the popular RPG Crimson Desert has seemingly removed some of the generative AI art that fans discovered in the game recently. The patch notes alluded to this, with developer Pearl Abyss saying the new update would offer "visual improvements" that included replacing "select 2D visual assets to better align with the game's art direction."

Pearl Abyss previously confirmed that Crimson Desert launched with AI-generated art assets that were not meant to be published in the final game. The studio also said it should have disclosed the game's use of AI prior to launch.

An in-game painting featuring horses with too many limbs was replaced by a new piece of art. You can see the new art below, as captured by GameSpot.

Get Ready To Pay More For A Switch 2, Experts Say

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 02:42

Is a Switch 2 price hike coming? Many are theorizing that this will happen at some point in the future due to the so-called "RAMaggedon" and other factors, and even Nintendo's own top boss said he cannot rule out a price increase. Now, Dr. Serkan Toto of research group Kantan Games has said he believes the Switch 2 may see price hike, and it could happen by the end of the year.

"I would be very surprised if the Switch was still $450 in the US at the end of 2026," he told GamesRadar.

He added that "people get used to everything," and that includes price increases for gaming hardware. Or at least that's what companies like Sony and others who have raised prices already are betting on, he said. Sony, for its part, just announced a second price hike for the PS5, while Microsoft raised Xbox prices in 2025.

Fans of Lego and Star Wars can get their hands on Jango Fett's iconic ship at a serious discount right now.

Lego Star Wars: Attack of the Clones - Jango Fett's Starship (707 pieces)$56 (was $70) See at Amazon

The Lego Star Wars: Attack of the Clones Jango Fett’s Starship is a 707-piece kit designed for builders of all ages. The completed vehicle sports recognizable armaments featured in the Star Wars prequel films, including four blasters that can fire Lego stud pieces, and a section of dropping seismic drop charges as seen in the asteroid chase scene with Obi-Wan Kenobi from Attack of the Clones. The build also features rotating wings, a cockpit section that opens and closes with two seats for minifigures, and a service cart that doubles as a mobile platform and display stand with ammunition storage. Along with the vehicle, the kit also includes three detailed minifigures: Jango Fett with jetpack and blaster pistols, young Boba Fett (sans helmet, of course), and the very tall, very weird-looking Kaminoan Lama Su.

While this deal is only available at Best Buy, plenty of other Lego sets are discounted right now, many of which are part of Amazon's Big Spring Sale 2026 event. Several Star Wars Lego kits are part of the sale, including the 25th Anniversary Millennium Falcon for $68 (was $85), 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack for $16 (was $20), and the 1050-piece R2-D2 kit for $80 (was $100).

Just note that these are limited-time deals, and may disappear once Amazon's Big Spring Sale wraps up on March 31.

Crimson Desert Is Doing Something Very Uncommon For RPGs

Tue, 03/31/2026 - 02:22

Crimson Desert has been out for barely two weeks now, having launched on March 19 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, but the game is already toppling its own player count records. This is quite impressive, as Pearl Abyss' latest action-adventure game is a single-player RPG that has steadily grown in popularity in terms of concurrent players as it's moved away from launch, something you don't see happen often with other big-budget, triple-A single-player RPGs.

Pulling the data from the game's SteamDB page shows that it reached 239,045 players at launch, but crested 276,261 players on March 29. That means 10 days after launch, it's seeing 40,000 more simultaneous players at its peak. This suggests that there's not just continued interest in the South Korean studio's high-fantasy action-adventure game, but that the single-player RPG is alive and well.

This isn't necessarily unheard of, but it's certainly something of an anomaly in the games industry as of late. You'd typically expect a multiplayer-focused game like Arc Raiders or Fortnite or Helldivers or Marathon to see a steady increase in players as time goes on. The single-player RPG, though, tends to decline in interest the longer the game is out. This has been true for games like Avowed, Baldur's Gate 3, Black Myth: Wukong, Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, GTA 5, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Nioh 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Starfield, and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers--all of which saw a drop in concurrent players the longer these games sat around. There are exceptions, such as The Witcher 3 and Where Winds Meet, that saw RPGs increase this concurrent peaks post-launch.
