Fan Speculate Switch 2 Might Be Getting GameCube Controller Support After New Filing

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 04:51

Despite being more than 20 years old, the GameCube controller remains stubbornly popular with Nintendo fans, especially when it comes to certain games. A new FCC filing by Nintendo has some fans speculating that the Switch 2 might receive some kind of GameCube controller support, but it's unclear if the connection is valid or not.

Over at Famiboards (via Nintendo Life), fans reacted to a FCC filing from Nintendo that tackled game controllers. Fans noticed that the model number prefix attached is BEE, which corresponds to the Switch 2. A mockup of a "wireless Bluetooth controller" led one fan to overlay the GameCube controller over it, concluding that the controller may be some kind of wireless GameCube controller for the Switch 2.

Some other fans argued that the mockup could be for the Switch 2 Pro Controller, but the original poster argued that this controller lacks NFC functionality, which a hypothetical Pro Controller would almost certainly have.

BioShock 4 – Everything We Know

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 04:41

2K's BioShock series has seen three installments so far, and a fourth game is now in the works–with some key changes compared to the original three. For starters, series creator Ken Levine is not actively involved in the next game, which we will refer to in this post as BioShock 4 until 2K gives the game an actual name.

Beyond Levine not being directly involved, the new game is being made at an entirely new studio, Cloud Chamber. In this post, we're rounding up everything we know about the next BioShock game, and we'll continue to update this as more information eventually comes to light.

Table of Contents [hide]When will BioShock 4 be released?

The new BioShock game was announced in December 2019, and as part of that announcement, 2K confirmed only that the game was happening. It did not provide any release date, or even a release window, for when it might be available. At the time, 2K and developer Cloud Chamber said the game would be in development for "the next several years." It's now 2025, and there have not been any significant updates about the game since, however.

Horizon Actor Ashly Burch "Worried" In Wake Of AI Aloy Video

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 04:38

Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West actor Ashly Burch, who plays main character Aloy across Guerrilla Games' sci-fi franchise, is speaking up in the wake of a leaked video showing an AI-powered Aloy.

As reported by The Verge, the since-removed video showed an internal tech demo in which Sony Interactive Entertainment's director of software engineering Sharwin Raghoebardajal held a conversation with an AI-powered Aloy. Raghoebardajal said in the video the AI Aloy was a prototype designed alongside Guerrilla Games to demonstrate what could be possible with the technology.

Burch took to TikTok over the weekend to say she had seen the leaked video and that Guerrilla Games had reached out to let her know that the AI tech demo did not use any of Burch's performance data (voice and motion capture) and was not a project that was in active development. But that didn't change the fact that Burch said the video made her worried, not about Guerrilla, Aloy, or her career specifically, but about game performance as a whole.

Empyreal Will Rip Open The Fabric Of Reality This May, Has Unique Charity System

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 04:30

Developer Silent Games and publisher Secret Mode have announced that its upcoming single-player action-RPG Empyreal will be released on May 8 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. On a distant world where humanity has discovered a strange monolith built by a lost civilization, players will explore this location while mastering various weapons and RPG systems.

In a developer diary, creative director Joseph Rogers went into more detail on the game, describing it as a third-person game about "transcendental revelations" that players will discover as they venture deeper into the monolith. Thematically, Empyreal asks questions about the human condition, its place in the cosmos, and whether societal systems like duty and honor are still driving forces in humanity's story.

When it comes to gameplay, Empyreal combines action-RPG systems with elements inspired by isometric-ARPG games like Diablo. Similarly to games in this genre, you'll be free to invest in various skills, but you can only have a handful of them available to use at any given time, so you will need to mix and match the abilities to suit your playstyle.

Call Of Duty Veteran Creates New PlayStation Studio, Dark Outlaw Games

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 04:21

Call of Duty veteran Jason Blundell's first major post-Activision project was the PlayStation-partnered Deviation Games, but it opened and closed without even announcing or releasing a game. Now Blundell is starting a new company with PlayStation.

Blundell said in an interview with Jeff Gerstmann that he's starting Dark Outlaw Games, which is a new studio inside of PlayStation Studios. "We've been working away in the shadows for a while. When we've got something to talk about we'll step out into the light," he said, as reported by VGC.

Blundell said it's "such a privilege" to be the newest first-party PlayStation studio. "Sony doesn't start up first-party studios all the time, so to have that privilege is humbling," he said.

This Massive New Alien Graphic Novel Revisits One Of The Most Terrifying Alien Storylines

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 03:38

The Alien franchise is best known for its numerous films, but the sci-fi horror property also spans video games, books, and graphic novels. Soon, one of the best comic runs, Alien: Galaxy of Nightmares, is getting a chunky new paperback omnibus edition on June 9. The collection will compile 19 issues written by Eisner Award-nominated author Phillip Kennedy Johnson, and fans can preorder it now for $45 at Amazon.

Alien: Galaxy of Nightmares $45 | Releases on June 3

Alien: Galaxy of Nightmares is a 456-page omnibus that features Alien (2021) 1-12, Alien (2022) 1-6, and Alien Annual (2022) 1, all of which are written by Phillip Kennedy Johnson, with art by Salvador Larroca, Julius Ohta, and Gabriele Dell'Otto. Johnson's first storyline follows Gabriel Cruz, a retired security chief for the Weyland-Yutani corporation who takes on a suicide mission to save his son from Xenomorphs. The second storyline is set in an off-world terraforming station manned by a religious sect--and surprise--it's infested by Xenomorphs. One brave woman dying from a rare disease decides to face them head-on in an effort to protect her flock.

The final major arc in this trade paperback spotlights a team of military-grade Synths--androids like Bishop and David from the films--who escape service and settle on a backwater planet. When the United Systems come knocking with an offer to ensure their peace if they retrieve biotechnology from a planet crawling with Xenomorphs, the fabled "Steel Team" suits up for one final mission that could spell the end of this legendary squad.

Preorder on Amazon

If you don't want to wait for the Alien: Galaxy of Nightmares collection, you can also pick up Phillip Kennedy Johnson's runs in individual trade editions. Volume 1: Bloodlines is available in a physical paperback edition for $18, while Volume 3: Icarus is $15 (was $18). Physical copies of Volume 2: Revival are hard to find, but you can pick up a Kindle version for $11 (was $13). Picking up all three will be more expensive than the upcoming Galaxy of Nightmares collection edition listed above, but the upshot is they're available now.

Marvel also has also given the Alien franchise its own "What If...?" series. Similar to the Marvel Universe "What If...?" series, this trade paperback takes a look at several pivotal moments in the Alien movies and ponders how the story would have played out differently. You can grab the Aliens: What If...? trade paperback edition for $15.30 (was $18)

Star Wars Strategy Game From Bit Reactor And Respawn Will Be Revealed In April

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 03:37

Star Wars Celebration in Japan will be where the fun begins for an untitled strategy game from developer Bit Reactor and producer Respawn Entertainment. The turn-based tactics game set within the Star Wars universe will get its own panel at the event on April 19, promising to show off "a first look."

The official Star Wars Celebration panel schedule revealed this morsel of information about the strategy game. It was over three years ago when EA announced that Apex Legends studio Respawn was teaming up with a new developer named Bit Reactor to create a Star Wars tactics game. Little has been divulged since then, though Bit Reactor confirmed it was still in the works last year after a Star Wars FPS from Respawn was reportedly canceled.

The Star Wars strategy game from developer Bit Reactor and producer Respawn Entertainment will get its official unveiling at Star Wars Celebration next month in Japan.

This will be Bit Reactor's first game. However, the studio touts quite the pedigree, saying on its website that the team has "collectively developed some of the most successful games you've heard of, such as XCOM, Civilization, Gears of War, and Elders Scrolls Online."

Mortal Kombat 2's Johnny Cage Is A-List Material In New Images

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 02:53

Following the official first look at Karl Urban Johnny Cage in the live-action Mortal Kombat 2 movie, more details on the film, its characters, and the high stakes for EarthRealm have been revealed. 2021's Mortal Kombat set the stage for an Outworld invasion, and after EarthRealm's chosen fighters successfully defeated Shang Tsung and his forces, the sequel will see them clash with Emperor Shao Kahn's forces in a tournament to decide the fate of the realms.

As mentioned above, Johnny Cage is a new face in the EarthRealm crowd, and he'll be the point-of-view character in the sequel. While the current Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat games is primarily played as a former A-list action star who can't stop making movie references, Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon says that the new live-action incarnation will feel "fresh" in several ways.

Our 'Mortal Kombat 2' exclusive first look reveals Johnny Cage, Kitana, Shao Kahn, and Scorpion's return. 'What I realized was go bigger, go bolder, don't hold back,' director Simon McQuoid tells EW. https://t.co/tHSSHgTKNw

Undertale Sees New Peak For Steam Concurrent Players Nearly A Decade After Launching

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 01:31

It's hard to comprehend that Undertale will be 10 years old later this year. But new audiences apparently keep finding the RPG, as the game broke its own Steam record for concurrent players on Sunday with 11,071 people, per SteamDB.

Over the weekend, Undertale developer Toby Fox shared the Steam record for the RPG on X. Funnily enough, Undertale's concurrent players spiked even higher hours after Fox made the social media post. The creator seemingly chalked up the huge boost in players to the Steam Spring Sale--which is running now through March 20--as the game costs $1. Usually, Undertale retails for $10 on Valve's storefront.

Since going on sale on Steam for only $1, UNDERTALE reached a new peak of concurrent players for the first time since 2015!

Undertale originally launched on PC in September 2015. The subversive RPG became critically acclaimed and grew a passionate fanbase, coming to consoles like Switch in 2018. To give an idea on the game's impact, Undertale's Sans character came to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a Mii Fighter. Additionally, Fox ended up composing music for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The developer is currently busy with Deltarune Chapters 3 and 4, which are slated for release this year.

Backyard Baseball is coming to mobile, and it won't have ads. That's according to posts from the game's official social media account, which point to some kind of announcement on March 27.

The official Backyard Sports account said, "If you're reading this, Backyard Sports is coming to mobile." A follow-up post confirmed that Backyard Baseball specifically is coming to mobile. And another post said the upcoming release will have "no ads."

The Boys Star Jack Quaid Wants To Be In BioShock Movie, Currently Obsessed With FromSoft Games

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 00:14

A BioShock movie is in the works at Netflix, and The Boys actor Jack Quaid has said he would "love" to be in it. In a Reddit AMA to promote his new movie, Novocaine, Quaid said BioShock is one of his favorite video games ever, adding that the franchise has "such a rich lore" that would lend itself to a TV show or a movie adaptation.

Netflix announced a BioShock movie years ago, but we haven't heard much about it since. A report from 2024 said the movie was undergoing a big shift, with producer Roy Lee saying the movie has been "reconfigured" to become a "more personal film" due to budget cuts at Netflix.

"The new regime has lowered the budgets," Lee said, as reported by Variety. "So we're doing a much smaller version… It's going to be a more personal point of view, as opposed to a grander, big project."

The Last Of Us Season 2 Will Introduce One Of The Creepiest Infected Enemies From The Games

Tue, 03/18/2025 - 00:09

Ahead of its release next month on HBO Max, The Last of Us actor Pedro Pascal has begun speaking more about the second season of the show. Adapted from the critically acclaimed sequel, The Last of Us season two is set five years after the first series and the fallout from its season finale. With bigger stakes and strained relationships, Pedro Pascal--who plays Joel--explained in an interview that everything established in the first season of the post-apocalyptic show is being amplified for its return to TV.

"It's definitely a bigger, far more ambitious, and risk-taking season," Pascal said to Empire. "And, if it can even be imagined, further tests our strength against a world we're already afraid to be in."

While you can expect plenty of drama between the cast as they find themselves in intense situations, the monsters of The Last of Us won't be taking a backseat to all of this squabbling. Showrunner Craig Mazin added that viewers will get to see more Cordyceps-infected people in season two, including the infamous stalkers who harassed players in the video game.

Split Fiction's Josef Fares Says Publishers Should "Really Trust The Developer"

Mon, 03/17/2025 - 23:38

Game developer Josef Fares is known for being outspoken, and he's continuing that theme in a new interview. Speaking to the BBC, Fares said publishers need to "step up and really trust the developer." But at the same time, Fares said developers themselves have to "have a clear vision and stick with what they believe in."

Fares admitted that what he says might not apply to everyone. After all, he runs his own studio, Hazelight, and his company is independently owned. "I am a --what do you say?--a different breed," he said.

Metro 2033 Makes Killing Easy And Atrocity Quiet

Mon, 03/17/2025 - 01:00

Metro 2033 is celebrating its 15-year anniversary today, March 16, 2025. Below, we examine how its subtle morality system helped to illustrate its broader points about humanity and violence.

In video games, evil tends to be gigantic. Think of the rivers of blood in Baldur's Gate 3's evil endings or an army of Sith bowing to the player in Knights of the Old Republic. These moments are not exactly comical, but they have a glee to them. They have the joy of a cackling cartoon villain. In some sense, Metro 2033 is no exception. In the wake of atomic devastation, the Moscow metro populates itself with cruel bandits, monstrous mutants, and authoritarian militants. It is grimmer than the prior examples to be sure, but there is still a note of the absurd in its endless cruel men. But the game's ultimate quest, to destroy a mutant army of "Dark Ones" with an atomic weapon, casts the shadow of real-world brutality. Metro 2033 concerns itself with the miniscule decisions and delusions that build up to atrocity, all under an atomic shadow. Unlike most other morality systems, Metro 2033 does not announce itself; instead it builds up the protagonist's character through tiny individual moments: beats of butterfly wings that become a hurricane.

This works in a simple binary way. Completing certain tasks will net protagonist Artyom moral points. Get enough points and he'll have the opportunity for the good ending. In contrast to other games with morality systems, the player cannot see how many points Artyom has earned. There is only a sound and a flash of light (a more ominous sound plays when Artyom loses moral points). Fittingly, Artyom has humble origins. He is not a soldier. His station is distant from the comparatively sprawling central stations of the Metro and he has rarely left his home. He is as explicit a player-insert as a game like this can muster. More familiar with the world than the player to be sure, but also an outsider and newcomer to most of it. A sort of greatness awaits him. The game opens in media res: Artyom outfitted with military-grade gear and fighting a massive migration of mutants on the surface. But at the start, he is only arrogant because of his youth, not his power. He is incapable of atrocity; it takes an invitation for him to become a monster.

How To Unlock Caldarus Romance Option In Fields Of Mistria

Sat, 03/15/2025 - 11:15

Fields of Mistria's Caldarus romance is here at last, though getting the dragon guardian's affection takes rather a lot of work. His human form is tied to a new quest that requires several rare and valuable items, and you need to spend a lot of time in the mines before you can start it. Our Fields of Mistria Caldarus guide explains how to unlock Caldarus for romance and what his preferred gifts are.

How to romance Caldarus in Fields of MistriaGood thing there's a local witch who specializes in breaking seals.

Caldarus' human form and subsequent arrival on the stage of potential romance is tied to a lengthy quest introduced in Fields of Mistria's second major update, Breaking the Fire Seal. Getting to the point where you can begin the quest requires a fair bit of spelunking in the mines, as the tablet and the Fire Seal itself are buried deep in the mines, at level 60. You'll also need several emeralds, sapphires, and rubies during the quest itself, so make sure to set some aside as

Once you acquire the tablet, speak to Juniper at the bathhouse to start the quest. Once you break the seal, Caldarus will appear, adopt his human form, and expend all his energy rescuing you from the calamity that ensued after the seal broke. He's, understandably, a bit tired after that and retreats to his home in the Deep Woods to recover--but not before giving you a new spell, Dragon's Breath.
