The Baldur's Village mod for Stardew Valley, which added Baldur's Gate 3 characters into the farm and life simulator, was a huge hit with fans, and even earned the stamp of approval by Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke. However, a DMCA takedown notice issued by Wizards of the Coast briefly resulted in the fan mod being taken offline. Wizards has now clarified that the DMCA was a mistake and the mod is officially back up.

"The Baldur's Village DMCA takedown was issued mistakenly--we are sorry about that," Wizards said in a statement (via PC Gamer). "We are in the process of fixing that now so fans and the Stardew community can continue to enjoy this great mod!"

Won't you be Astarion's neighbor?

A Nexus Mods spokesperson spoke to PC Gamer when the DMCA was received, saying they were also wondering if it was a mistake. "Hopefully, this is an oversight from WotC, who often use external agencies to hunt down violating content, and they will reverse their decision," they said. "Fingers crossed for Baldur's Village."

Director Jared Hess' A Minecraft Movie is what the world needs right now, according to stars Jack Black and Jason Momoa. Speaking at the movie's premiere, Black quoted Burt Bacharach's 1965 song "What The World Needs Now," and added, "We've got to work together, my god."

"There's so much violence and war and hatred. And that's what I love about this movie--there's a lot of love in it and there's a lot of creativity. There is some anger and violence too, but in the end it's about friendship and working together to make [the world] a better place," Black told The Hollywood Reporter.

Momoa, meanwhile, said "everyone needs to escape a little bit right now," and A Minecraft Movie could be a solution for them.

The upcoming Resident Evil movie from Barbarian director Zach Cregger will be "unlike any of the previous films" in the series, the director said at CinemaCon this week.

He's likely referring to director Paul W.S. Anderson's string of Resident Evil movies that starred Anderson's wife Milla Jovovich. Those six films grossed more than $1 billion, but were not exactly well-received.

According to IGN, Cregger said his new Resident Evil movie will be "built in the spirit" of the video game series, which includes following one central protagonist from point A to point B as they "descend deeper into hell."

A new Star Wars game is being revealed soon, and some images from it have apparently emerged online. The images are supposedly taken from the Star Wars strategy game developed by Bit Reactor. The studio was founded by former XCOM developers and partnered with Respawn Entertainment on the project.

Found by MP1st, these images were spotted in a Bit Reactor artist's portfolio. They're dated back to 2023, so it's possible that they aren't up to date. However, it does provide us a glimpse of what the project might look like. According to MP1st, the game's codename is "Bruno" and the screenshots suggest that it's an isometric tactics game.

Some of the screenshots show gameplay where Mandalorians and a droid take cover while others depict the user interface. One shows what looks like the hub area, called Kafrene Mining Colony.

SpaceVenture is a sci-fi comedy adventure game that combines interplanetary exploration, puzzle-solving, and space travel- not to mention "pant loads" of pop culture satire and some good, clean "potty" humor. When the spaceport "facilities" are backed up and stuff's about to hit the fan... When someone's darling little spawn tries to flush their pet Narblitz down the john... When your life support ducts are in need of , er...life support... It s time to call in a professional! Enter Ace Hardway - plumber to the stars. An intergalactic Mr. Fix-it armed with his trusty wrench, duct tape, and an impressive 'norge', Ace fearlessly plunges into adventure, rooting-out trouble wherever he smells it. Yeah... unclogging wormholes is a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

As a Fighter: Wield a sword, improve it, and even enhance it with magic. Face off against ten mythological monsters in the first main mission. As a Rogue: Master the art of stealth, equip throwing stars or daggers, and sneak into dragon hideouts to deliver a deadly backstab that could even decapitate them - or perhaps just steal some of their precious treasures. This is the second main mission: finding the lost Dragon Orbs that control the dragons. As a Wizard: Choose your magic school - focus on war, defense, or even the dark art of necromancy. Harness the power within you to fight undead beasts, and in time, you may even gain control over them. This is the final main mission, but its secrets will remain hidden... for now. This game is an open-world, single player RPG game. You can play it casually, taking your time to do quests and explore the world, or you can play it more hard-core. I like to play open-world RPGs like Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowind, as well as Two Worlds II. So, I have taken the parts I like from them: the wild magic and alchemy from Morrowind, the bright colors from Oblivion, and Skyrim's weapon improvements.

2 Fast 2 Furious is widely considered one of the worst Fast and Furious movies, but it did introduce the world to the Honda S2000 and the joy of going overboard with a custom paint job. If you're looking to add this eye-catching ride to your collection, Lego is adding it as a new kit to its Fast and Furious lineup, and you can preorder it now through The Lego Store for $27 ahead of its June 1 release.

2 Fast 2 Furious Honda S2000 (300 pieces) $27 | Releases June 1

This 300-piece set lets you build a replica of the bright pink Honda S2000 driven by Suki (Devon Aoki) in 2 Fast 2 Furious. It features screen-accurate details like an interior TV monitor, rear wing, grille, wheels, and anime-inspired graphics across the bodywork. While it doesn't have a working steering system like you'd find on bigger Lego Technic builds, the rubber wheels can spin for when you want to make the completed model go vroom. The set also includes a minifigure of Suki.

Preorder at The Lego Store Gallery

To add to your 2 Fast 2 Furious collection, you can also pick up the Nissan Skyline GTR 319-piece set while itls on sale for $20 (was $25) at Amazon. Like the 2 Fast 2 Furious Honda S2000, this set lands between a playset and the more complex Lego Technic line vehicles, making it an enjoyable afternoon build for all ages. It features the silver paint job with blue decals as seen in the movie, and comes with a Brian O'Conner minifigure.
