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."

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.

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 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.

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.

Although Pokemon TCG Pocket has been extremely successful since its debut last year, not everything in the game is popular with players. Case in point, the trade tokens introduced in late January were met with an extremely negative response, in part because players had to destroy their duplicate cards to earn them. Now, the game's developers, Creatures Inc. and DeNA, have revealed that they will be getting rid of the trading tokens and replacing them with another in-game currency.

As shared on Pokemon's official site, trade tokens will be completely removed from the game by this fall. In their place, shinedust will now be the currency used to trade cards. Any trade tokens that remain in players' collections after the switchover will be converted to shinedust.

Shinedust will only be required for trades involving cards with three-diamond, four-diamond, or one-star rarity. However, the exact breakdown of the cost in shinedust wasn't disclosed. Shinedust is automatically earned when players get a card they already have registered in their Card Dex. Since Shinedust will be used for trades, the developers are looking into increasing the amounts that are given to players.

PlayStation's steadily growing library of PC ports don't receive meaningful discounts all that often, but many games in the publisher's catalog are included in Steam's annual Spring Sale. A bunch of titles are on sale for 50% off, including The Last of Us Part 1, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. But if you're interested in picking up a PlayStation PC game or two, you'll want to head over to Fanatical instead.

Amazon has some superb deals on collectible editions of J.R.R. Tolkien's three most beloved books: The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, and The Silmarillion. Specifically, Amazon is offering $100-plus discounts on the Deluxe Special Editions of the popular versions of The Hobbit and The Silmarillion illustrated by J.R.R. Tolkien himself. Meanwhile, The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Edition, the 2024 hardcover box set featuring dozens of new sketches and paintings by Alan Lee, is on sale for a new all-time low price of $178 (was $325).

You can take a closer look at these collectible editions of Tolkien's classic fantasy novels below. We also put together a list of Amazon's best deals on collector's and special edition Tolkien books below. Beyond the pricey illustrated editions, you can get the 2024 Lord of the Rings Collector's Edition Box Set and The Collected Poems of J.R.R. Tolkien for over 50% off.

The Hobbit: Tolkien Illustrated Deluxe Special Edition $87 (was $195)

The Deluxe Special Edition of The Hobbit has numerous unique features not found in the standard edition published by William Morrow in 2023. The 384-page book has a redesigned, premium binding made of cloth board and quarterbound in ribbed green leather. The custom clothbound slipcase and cover have foil-stamped logos and text. While the standard edition has blue stained page edges, the Special Edition opts for gold edges instead, which adds to its luxurious aesthetic. Like the standard edition, you'll get built-in ribbon bookmark.

This version also comes with a few unique bonuses: two fold-out, poster-sized maps of Thror's Map and the Wilderland, an 88-page illustrated booklet, and an art card reproduction of the painting Tolkien made for The Hobbit's original dust jacket.

Both Tolkien Illustrated Editions of The Hobbit feature 50 sketches, paintings, and other artwork created by Tolkien while he drafted the prelude to The Lord of the Rings.

See at Amazon The Silmarillion: Tolkien Illustrated Deluxe Special Edition $89 (was $195)

The Silmarillion's Deluxe Special Edition is on sale for almost the exact the same price. Unlike The Hobbit's deal, this isn't the all-time low price for the popular Middle-earth companion compiled by Christopher Tolkien. That said, $89 is still one of the lowest prices we've seen this year--it was selling for close to $150 just a few weeks ago.

The Tolkien Illustrated Edition of The Silmarillion is 448 pages and includes 50 illustrations, paintings, and sketches by J.R.R. Tolkien. The pricier Deluxe version has a ribbed spine quarterbound in blue leather and a cloth board cover. The custom clothbound slipcase and cover feature foil-stamped symbols and Elvish script. The book has silver page edges, the text is printed in two colors, and you can mark your place with a ribbon bookmark.

Inside the slipcase you'll also find a Taniquetil art card and a pair of poster-sized maps of Beleriand. One map shows an earlier version of the region, while the second shows a more fully realized setting. In addition to the maps and art card, you'll get an illustrated booklet detailing the creation of The Silmarillion, as told by Christopher Tolkien.

See at Amazon The Lord of the Rings: Tolkien Illustrated Deluxe Special Edition $136 (was $250)

The Lord of the Rings: Deluxe Special Edition isn't on sale for as good of a deal as the other two, but it's also a much larger book since it features all three volumes of Tolkien's masterwork. The 1,248-page Deluxe Illustrated Edition was the first of the three to release--William Morrow published it in 2022--so many of the unique features found in the other two were pulled from here. It includes a pair of fold-out maps of Middle-earth created Chrstopher Tolkien, a quarterbound red leather spine and cloth board cover, clothbound slipcase, and foil-stamped images and text on cover and case.

The pages of the Deluxe Special Edition have gold edges--the standard edition has red edges--and throughout the text you'll find 30 full-color illustrations by J.R.R. Tolkien. Like the standard edition, this version includes a ribbon bookmark and the complete original text, including the lengthy appendices.

Fans of The Lord of the Rings have another ultra-premium option when it comes to illustrated editions of The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Last year, William Morrow released a remastered version of the beloved 1992 hardcover edition.

The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set launched with a list price of $325, but Amazon currently has the box set for $178. This discount saves you close to $150 and is the best deal we've seen for this stunning collection and saves

Split into three volumes, this box set features a bevy of illustrations by fan-favorite artist Alan Lee. Notably, the 2024 box set has over 50 brand-new pencil sketches and full-color paintings.

Like the Tolkien Illustrated Deluxe Editions, these books are bound in leather and cloth. The cloth board slipcase and the covers have silver foil-stamped symbols and text.

The Lord of the Rings Deluxe Illustrated Box Set also comes with a trio of art cards and two fold-out maps by Christopher Tolkien.

Last year, Zynga debuted Star Wars Hunters, a free-to-play 4v4 shooter that introduced new characters and placed them in deathmatches in familiar locations from across the Star Wars universe. However, less than a year after its launch, launch, Zynga has announced Star Wars Hunters will shut down this fall.

Following that update, Hunters will remain playable and available for download until October 1. Afterwards, the servers will be shut down, servers will be shut down, rendering it completely unplayable.

Although Assassin's Creed Shadows won't be available through Xbox Game Pass, at least at launch, there will be a perk for subscribers. Game Pass Ultimate members who purchase Shadows will have have the ability to play the game through Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Microsoft just revealed this feature as part of its “stream your own game” perk for Ultimate tier subscribers. However, this only applies to digital copies of games, not physical ones. "Stream your own game" is different than Xbox’s own Play Anywhere program, which gives players both native Windows PC and Xbox versions of games if they purchase either one.

A new addition to the "Stream your own game" library is emerging from the darkness soon.

Certain games in the Game Pass library can be streamed, but not all of them. If a game leaves Game Pass, it can normally no longer be streamed even if it's been purchased. That makes this feature particularly useful, although it remains unclear how widely it will be supported. Some other games that are part of the "stream your own game" feature are Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Cyberpunk 2077, and Life is Strange: Double Exposure.

Polish developer People Can Fly has announced that it's making a game for Sony Interactive Entertainment based on an IP that Sony owns, though it remains to be seen what the game is.

In a statement, People Can Fly said the new game is in the works under the codename Project Delta. As part of the agreement between People Can Fly and Sony, there will be a milestone process. Details weren't provided, but this is a common practice where development progress is reviewed at certain intervals.

People Can Fly did not divulge the specific scope and terms of its milestone agreement with Sony but said it does not differ much from standard work-for-hire projects of this nature. The Polish studio has a lot of experience in this department, as it has worked with big game companies on projects before, including Gears of War: Judgment with Microsoft, Fortnite: Saves the World with Epic, and Outriders with Square Enix. People Can Fly is also working with PUBG company Krafton on a new game codenamed Project Echo and is collaborating with The Coalition on Gears of War: E-Day.

The PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 has been out for almost a decade, and it's been endlessly modded in the intervening 10 years. However, the recently released Grand Theft Auto 5 Enhanced upgrade isn't compatible with mods from the prior version. But now, it looks like Rockstar is opening the door for those mods to make the leap into the Enhanced era, courtesy of the team behind its FiveM and RedM creator communities.

Cfx.re, which was brought into Rockstar in 2023, has revealed that it is developing a new official mod tool that will "assist the modding community in making their assets compatible with the new upgrade."

According to the announcement, Cfx.re hasn't set a release date for the mod tool yet. But it notes that that "we're currently focused on completing the final few tasks required to release the tool." The full announcement of the tool, with "comprehensive documentation," will be shared on the day it goes live.

The God of War franchise is turning 20 years old later this month, and to celebrate, developer Sony Santa Monica has announced a free update to God of War Ragnarok that'll go live on March 20. Inspired by the working title of 2005's God of War, as well as the skin that players could earn in God of War 2 if they finished the game on God Mode difficulty, the Dark Odyssey collection includes several cosmetic skins for Kratos and his weapons, and outfits for Atreus and Freya.

Beyond that, fans can also expect the franchise to celebrate its impressive milestone with an art exhibition, game sales, and some retail therapy as there'll be quite a lot of celebratory merchandise available to purchase.

First up, the Dark Odyssey collection adds a modern version of the black and gold character skin that can be equipped to Kratos, complementary armor pieces, new armor sets for companions, and new weapon cosmetics. One thing to note here is that the Dark Odyssey cosmetics for weapons and shields are made specifically for the fully upgraded version of each weapon and will only be available for use upon reaching that upgrade level.

Bethesda's 2023 RPG Starfield is not ruled out for PS5, but it also hasn't been announced for Sony's system like some of Bethesda's other games have, including Doom: The Dark Ages and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Now, a listing on Bethesda's modding website might suggest a PS5 edition of the game is coming.

Reddit user Dollar99Man reshared a finding from YouTube user 510deshawn who discovered that the Bethesda Creation Kit website for Starfield was updated with the PlayStation logo, sitting alongside the logos for PC and Xbox. However, the Starfield Creation Kit hub does not allow players to choose "PlayStation" as a platform in the filter, despite the logo appearing on one of the mod's pages.

It's possible to tweak the URL to force the filter to show mods listed for PlayStation. For a period of time today, March 14, this displayed one result for the mod listed for PlayStation. However, it has since been removed.

The Boy and the Heron 4K Blu-ray Steelbook Edition

$25 (was $45)

See at Amazon See at Walmart

Studio Ghibli's The Boy and the Heron Steelbook Edition is on sale for its lowest price yet at Amazon and Walmart. Released last summer on 4K Blu-ray for $45, The Boy and the Heron Steelbook is up for grabs for only $25.

The 4K Steelbook Edition of The Boy and the Heron is actually cheaper than the standard 4K edition ($32) and 1080p Blu-ray ($25.75) at the moment.

The Boy and the Heron 4K Blu-ray Steelbook Edition $25 (was $45)

The Boy and the Heron became the second Hayao Miyazaki-directed Ghibli film to win the the Oscar for Best Animated Feature. It's widely considered to be one of the storied animation studio's best films, joining classics such My Neighbor Totoro, Ponyo, and Spirited Away--the other Ghibli film that took home the Academy Award.

The steelbook matches the aesthetics of previous Studio Ghibli limited-edition releases, but it's the first 4K Blu-ray from the beloved studio. It's actually the second Hayao Miyazaki film to receive a 4K release, as The Castle of Cagliostro, Miyazaki's directorial debut, released on 4K a few years back. It's a great animated comedy, but it initially released in 1979, years before the formation of Studio Ghibli.

All three versions of The Boy and the Heron include the following bonus features:

• Feature-Length Storyboards
• Interview with Composer Joe Hisaishi
• Interview with Producer Toshio Suzuki
• Interview with Supervising Animator Takeshi Honda
• Drawing with Takeshi Honda
• "Spinning Globe" Music Video
