The 2021 Mortal Kombat movie is getting a new collectible 4K Blu-ray ahead of the sequel's theatrical release this October. Fans can preorder Mortal Kombat Limited Edition Steelbook for $35 at Amazon or $30 at Gruv. The new edition launches October 7, just in time for a rewatch before heading to the theater for Mortal Kombat II on October 24. In the meantime, you can add to your Blu-ray collection by grabbing the other live-action and animated Mortal Kombat adaptations for cheap.

Mortal Kombat Limited Edition Steelbook (4K Blu-ray) $35 | Releases October 7

The Limited Edition Steelbook has a brand-new cover featuring Scorpion's iconic mask on the front and his deadly kunai on the back. Inside, the cover features a still from the movie of Sub-Zero as he prepares an ice-dagger weapon. The film is presented in upscaled 4K resolution and supports HDR10. For audio, there are multiple Dolby surround sound options, including Atmos, TrueHD 7.1, and Digital 5.1.

Bonus materials aren't listed for this release, but it's possible that the special features from earlier Blu-ray releases are omitted here. The 2021 4K release included a 1080p Blu-ray with bonus content, but the Limited Edition Steelbook only comes with the one 4K disc.

The Steelbook Edition does come with a voucher to claim the digital version of Mortal Kombat. As an added bonus, it's eligible for Movies Anywhere, so you can download/stream the film on a wide variety of apps and devices.

The 2021 reboot is a brutal adaptation of the iconic fighting game series. It faithfully brings the fantastical story of the games into the real world, pitting fan-favorite characters like Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Sonya Blade, and newcomer Cole Young against Shang Tsung and his sinister forces.

Dropout.TV is becoming a surprisingly big name in the streaming world as an inexpensive service that puts its fans and employees above maxing out profits. Game Changers is already an ambitious show, but now host and Dropout CEO Sam Reich is thinking about what it would mean to bring Dropout into the world of video games, according to an interview with Kotaku.

Reich told Kotaku that if Dropout did release a game, it would be based on either Game Changers or Dimension 20, the service's successful tabletop roleplaying series (which played a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden earlier this year).

Killing Floor 3 has a bigger emphasis on choosing the best skills for each of the perks. With a few familiar names and new additions, and all classes getting 30 levels' worth of skills each, it can be a daunting task.

Similarly to Killing Floor 2, after reaching a certain level milestone per perk, you'll gain access to a new row of skills, which ranges from one to three options. The key is that you can also spend points to upgrade them, which makes pivoting a bit hard. If you're wondering what the best skills to choose in Killing Floor 3 are, we've gathered a breakdown per level for each of the six perks available at launch.

From their massive open worlds, unfathomably large download sizes, and seemingly endless checklists of collectibles, missions, and side quests, games are so much nowadays. It's really no fault of the titles themselves that this formula works--it's tried, it's true, and it sells. But it does mean that I appreciate the occasional break from this exact mold of game. And Roger, a narrative game that can be completed within an hour and manages to do so much with so little, offers exactly that kind of break, and I'd love it if it became the standard rather than the exception.

I'm not too interested in giving away the most explicit details of And Roger right here and now. For just about five dollars on your PC and/or Switch, you can see all it has to say over the course of a slightly long lunch break. I've nothing to gain from telling you what it is, but you've got everything to lose by not just experiencing it firsthand. It covers a lot of ground in a pretty short amount of time, and its gut punches are as hard as they are dizzying.

And Roger plays like an interactive graphic novel--think 2018's Florence, which depicted the highs and lows of the titular character's romance and journey of self-discovery across comic-like panels and minigames. And Roger appears to take some cues from the award-winning narrative title, communicating its story largely through brief mechanical interludes that break up its often distressing narrative. However, where Florence basked in the glow of new love and the ennui of uncertainty, And Roger drops players into the confusing perspective of its main character and leads them on what can only be described as an expertly crafted emotional rollercoaster that tightly skirts the boundaries between different genres of stories.

It's been 12 years since Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher suited up for action in a video game, but Tom Clancy's iconic hero is getting a comeback on Netflix. The streamer is producing a new animated series, Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, that features Liev Schreiber as the voice of Fisher. Now, Netflix has shared a new image from the series that depicts Fisher in his famous night vision goggles.

— Collider (@Collider) August 12, 2025

Collider debuted the pic and revealed that Deathwatch will debut this fall. Netflix dropped the first teaser trailer for Splinter Cell during last year's Geeked Week, which included a brief clip of Schreiber demonstrating his voice for the character. Schreiber is replacing veteran actor Michael Ironside, who voiced Fisher in most of the Splinter Cell games.

John Wick co-creator Derek Kolstad is the head writer and producer for Deathwatch, and he briefly told Collider about his plans for the series.

Borderlands 4 includes new features for the series, one of which is double-jumping. Developer Gearbox didn't feel the need to justify the feature's existence, because Borderlands 4 was developed with the aim of allowing players to do what they want, even if it doesn't make sense.

"The biggest commitment we made in Borderlands 4 is to give the players what they want," Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford said in an interview with the Epic Games Store. "We just said, 'F**k it. You can double jump.'"

The game doesn't take any time to provide a "rationalization" for why this is possible. "You're literally in the air, and you hit the jump button again, and you'll get another jump out of it. Does it feel good? Is it fun? Then I don't give a s**t if it makes any sense," Pitchford said.

For over two decades, Justin Wong (aka JWong) has been a major figure among fighting game players along the way to winning nine Evo championships. Now, Wong is joining Basilisk as the captain of its new Fighting Game Community Division.

In his new role, Wong will be recruiting players for Basilisk's team and working on community events. Since Basilisk was founded to put forth scientific causes, Wong will also be creating science crossover content for the new fighting game team.

"Math is super important to fighting games," said Wong in a statement. "I'm excited to join science's esports team. I'm passionate about finding promising players with a positive mentality and shaping them into the next big thing. I want to see somebody else in the spotlight after me and help them reach their potential. If we can discover the next world champion, that would be fantastic."

The Madden curse is lifted.

No, not that one--the one I alluded to at the end of my review last year. I'd said it felt like I was cursed to play a frustrating football game year after year forever, because I liked it enough to invest my time (if only for my job and my online league), but I never felt like it was living up to its responsibility as the only NFL sim available on the market. Madden NFL 26 finally gives me hope. Supplementing the great on-field gameplay with a Franchise overhaul that turns Madden into a sports RPG in the way it should be, this is the best Madden in a long time.

Sunday Spectacle

Madden's on-field gameplay has been improving year over year for a good while now. It's not that it can't improve any more, but it's finally in that stage, like some other sports games have reached before, where the foundation is sturdy and, with the most important aspects in a good place, the development team is now focusing on enhancements more than fixes.

Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC Controller (Wireless/Wired)

$200 | Available Now

Razer Wolverine V3 Pro Tournament Edition 8K Controller (Wired)

$120 | Available Now

See at Amazon

Razer just expanded its Wolverine V3 Pro lineup with a PC-only model aimed at competitive players who want the speed and precision of a wired connection in a wireless controller. The Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC Controller has a blistering 8,000Hz polling rate in wireless and wired modes--32 times faster than the V3 Pro for Xbox in wireless mode and eight times faster in wired mode. The V3 Pro 8K also utilizes new thumbstick technology, has upgraded grips, and greatly improves the battery life. You can purchase the Wolverine V3 Pro 8K PC Controller for $200 at Amazon; it's ready to ship now and is eligible for Prime.

Outside of those upgrades, the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro 8K has the same core features as the Xbox edition, including four remappable back triggers, two claw bumpers, microswitch buttons, custom profile support, and excellent ergonomics. For this reason, we'd recommend reading the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro for Xbox review we published last summer, as the vast majority of our commentary applies to the new 8K edition. The V3 Pro for Xbox was and still is a fantastic high-end controller for Xbox and PC. But if you have no need for Xbox console support, the V3 Pro 8K is the better pick for PC gaming thanks to the tech upgrades.

Both V3 Pro wireless models retail for $200, and just like the Xbox model, the PC-only 8K edition is also available in a wired-only Tournament Edition. The Tournament Edition price for the 8K is $120, whereas the original is $100.

Wizards of the Coast has officially revealed the first look at cards from the upcoming Magic: The Gathering - Avatar: The Last Airbender expansion. Along with new cards showing off many fan-favorite ATLA characters like Toph, Sokka, Katara, and Zuko, the First Look livestream showed off the expansion's new Bending mechanics: unique abilities attributed to the airbending, earthbending, firebending, and waterbending powers synonymous with the Avatar series.

Each element's bending ability gives the same basic benefit to the player using it, though the size of the benefit depends on the card being cast. Here, though, is a brief explainer on each of the four core element's bending abilities, and examples of cards that will utilize bending abilities in their overall strategies.

AirbendingAppa, Steadfast Guardian

Airbending allows you to exile--the Magic term for "remove from the game"--a certain number of permanents on your side of the battlefield. You can return those permanents later in the game by paying two generic mana rather than the card's actual mana cost.

Late last year, Naughty Dog revealed that its next game will be Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, a new sci-fi story set thousands of years in an alternate future. While the game may still be years away, its leading actress, Tati Gabrielle, recently shared her experience filming her part as bounty hunter Jordan A. Mun for Naughty Dog director and studio chief Neil Druckmann.

"It's a different medium," Gabrielle told YouTube channel HotCorn. "I really appreciate Neil Druckmann and the way he directs me through the game as well. I appreciate the way that he has done games [by] making them very grounded despite being in these fantastical sort of worlds."

Gabrielle went on to describe wearing a motion-capture suit on stage while Druckmann describes what her character is looking at and what she's doing. She equated it to being like a child, "when you didn't have the costumes necessarily ... and you wanted to to to escape and lose yourself into a world. I've been having a lot of fun doing that the game is going to be incredible. I'm really excited for people to play [it]."

The Hobbit: A Graphic Novel - Revised and Expanded Edition (Hardcover)

$31 (was $35)

Preorder at Amazon See 2024 Edition

The graphic novel adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit is getting a brand-new expanded edition September 16. The upcoming hardcover edition has nearly 50 pages of new content that will appeal to longtime Tolkien fans and anyone who enjoys behind-the-scenes looks at the creative processes of artists. The Hobbit: A Graphic Novel - Revised and Expanded Edition is available to preorder for $31 (was $35) at Amazon.

Publisher William Morrow reissued The Hobbit: A Graphic Novel in paperback last year. If you haven't read the adaptation, you can purchase the paperback edition from Amazon for $14.72 (was $23). The Revised and Expanded Edition is 192 pages, whereas the 2024 paperback edition is 144 pages.

The Hobbit: A Graphic Novel - Revised and Expanded Edition (Hardcover) $31 (was $35)

The Hobbit: A Graphic Novel was adapted by Charles Dixon and illustrated with full-color paintings by Dave Wenzel. The cover art for the Revised and Expanded Edition features Gandalf approaching Bag End in The Shire. This artwork was used for earlier editions, but it appears to have been remastered for this release.

In the pages unique to this edition, illustrator Dave Wenzel looks back on the creation of the adaptation. Eclipse Comics published The Hobbit as a three-issue comic series back in 1989. The upcoming hardcover edition includes previously unreleased artwork created for the original comics. Wenzel also provides commentary and insights on the origins of the adaptation and how he approached illustrating scenes from Tolkien's iconic novel.

Since its original publication, The Hobbit: A Graphic Novel has offered a great way to introduce younger readers to J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world. I've read the graphic novel adaptation to both of my children, and they loved it.

Take-Two's top boss, Strauss Zelnick, has come out to say he's feeling confident that GTA 6 will not be delayed again, while also confirming Rockstar has multiple other games in the works right now.

Speaking to CNBC, Zelnick was asked to state his level of conviction about GTA 6 coming out on time on May 26, 2026. He replied, "My level of conviction is very, very high, obviously."

He added: "We try not to pump expectations. Rockstar's whole stock and trade is to have these extraordinary expectations and still beat them. I know that's their goal. I know it's going to be an amazing game."

Baldur's Gate 3 was one of the biggest games of 2023, and naturally, Wizards of the Coast wants to follow it up with a sequel. We already know that the developer behind Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios, is moving on to a new, unrelated project, and Wizards of the Coast has confirmed that the new studio being led by former Respawn Entertainment game director Stig Asmussen--Giant Skull--won't be working on it either. Instead, players can expect something more action-packed from the newly established studio.

"Baldur’s Gate is an incredible game," Wizards of the Coast president John Hight said to The Game Business. "And of course, we're going to do a successor. This is not the successor to that game. We go to Stig and his team to tell an incredible story and bring Dungeons & Dragons to a very broad audience. Ideally, the game will appeal to Dungeons & Dragons players because it will help them realize their imagination. But it’s also going to hopefully appeal to people that love playing action games, that love the Jedi games, that love God of War games."

Wizards of the Coast isn't in a big rush to get Baldur's Gate 4 out-- its parent company Hasbro is planning a number of other Dungeons & Dragons games set to launch over the next five years--and several potential partners are being courted for the unenviable task of following in Larian's footsteps. "We're going to take our time and find the right partner, the right approach, and the right product that could represent the future of Baldur's Gate," Hasbro's Eugene Evans said last year.

You have several different options when you're the quarterback in Madden NFL 26. You can choose to pass the ball, run with it yourself, throw the ball away, or even take a sack to possibly avoid a turnover. Most of the time, though, you'll be passing the ball to one of your receivers. While you can simply press a receiver's button to throw them the ball, there can be a little more strategy to it than that.

Madden 26 allows you to throw a few different kinds of passes whenever you decide to run a passing play on offense. These passes can be utilized in various situations so you can give your receiver a better chance at catching the ball, securing a first down, or scoring a touchdown. There isn't a ton of explanation around the different passes in Madden 26, so allow us to explain what they are, how to throw them, and the best situations for each one.

All pass types in Madden 26

There are three main passes you can throw as a quarterback: standard, lob, and bullet. However, there are some other, more specific passes that are also available to throw: high pass, low pass, and throwing the ball away. Each of these passes requires you to press/hold a different button to throw it, and all of them alter your base pass in some way.

Back in 2012, the worlds of Street Fighter and Tekken collided in the 2.5D fighting game Street Fighter X Tekken. This was a two-part project that would have been followed up by Tekken X Street Fighter, bringing Capcom's roster of brawlers into the 3D space of Tekken. That was the plan at the time, but by 2016, development had been put on hold.

Just how much of the project was completed before Bandai Namco and Capcom pulled the plug on it? According to Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada, the team behind this project was "30%" into development, and he'd love to show fans what had been produced up to that point.

"It’s hard to say if that's even a thing," Harada said when asked about the status of Tekken X Street Fighter by Destructoid. "I mean, it depends on what people are wanting as well. That said, I would like to show people what we already have. That would be cool if we could do that. We were 30% into development, so fingers crossed."

Logitech's G29 Racing Wheel is on sale for just $230 (was $330) at Amazon, which is the best price we've seen for the premium controller since Prime Day. The $100 discount deal technically applies to both the G29 and G920 racing wheels. These are the same core racing wheels, but the G29 is built for PlayStation while the G920 is for Xbox. Both work with PC and Mac and include the racing wheel and a floor pedal set for acceleration, clutch, and brakes. If you want a more robust setup, a similar deal is also available for bundles featuring the Logitech G29 or G20 Racing Wheels, the pedal module, and a Driving Force Shifter, all for $284.40 (was $390). Or, if you already own a compatible racing wheel, you can grab the shifter module on its own while it's on sale for $54.41 (was $60).

It's unclear how long these Logitech racing wheel discounts will be available, so be sure to grab them while you can.

Logitech G29 and G290 Racing Wheels $230 (was $330)

The Logitech G29 and G290 are premium racing wheels featuring a hand-stitched leather steering wheel cover and cool features like Logitech's driving force feedback system, which reliably mimics the feeling of real driving. It also offers a 900-degree rotation, allowing you to spin it around two and a half times, much like in traditional F1 cars.

The G29 or G920 racing wheels also include fully customizable pedals, so you can modify their performance and find a comfortable setting that gives you the most control over your rig. There's even a retractable carpet grip and rubber feet, which should help keep the pedals planted to the floor during intense races.

See at Amazon (PS5) See at Amazon (Xbox) Logitech G29 Racing Wheel + Driving Force Shifter $284.40 (was $390)

This bundle includes the same racing wheels and pedals as the main G29 and G290 models above, plus a Logitech G Driving Force Shifter, which features built-in clamps for mounting to a table or desk. The device features a solid steel gear shaft with a six-speed H design.

While this gets you a full virtual racing setup, the Driving Force Shifter module is also available as a standalone device you can add to an existing racing wheel setup, and it's on sale for $54.41 (was $60).

Microsoft's semi-new strategy of releasing its own games on rival platforms continues today with the debut of Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 on PS5. The original Hellblade is also arriving on PS5 today.

The game's $50 standard and $70 deluxe editions are available now on the PlayStation Store, and the game is PS5 Pro-enhanced. For the $20 extra, players who buy the deluxe edition get the 2017 game, enhanced for PS5, a copy of the sequel, and a digital soundtrack. If you just want the original Hellblade, it's available for $30 by itself on PS5.

The Hellblade series has a history with PlayStation, as the first game originally launched exclusively on console for the PS4; it didn't come to Xbox until April 2018. Microsoft bought the company in June 2018, with Hellblade 2 launching in 2024 on Xbox and PC.
