Atomfall, Known As "British Fallout" To Some, Is Getting A TV Show
2025's action-survival game Atomfall, known by some as "British Fallout," is getting a TV show. Two Brothers Pictures has announced that it's secured the rights to make a TV adaptation of the Rebellion game, which just won Best British Game at the BAFTAs. Rebellion will be involved, too.
The game is inspired by the real-world Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957, with the action taking place inside a walled-in quarantine zone in the aftermath of the nuclear incident. In the game, players awake in the quarantine zone with no recollection of how they got there, with players seeking to find answers and ultimately a way out.
Atomfall reached more than 3.7 million players globally, a number that was no doubt assisted by the game's inclusion on Xbox Game Pass. The TV show will "expand on the game's mythology while remaining faithful to its tone, themes, and British roots," according to a press release.

Season 3 Reloaded goes live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone on April 30, and the midseason patch notes reveal major changes for both games. This includes weapon tuning across multiplayer and Warzone, changes to scorestreaks, and fixes for Zombies maps. Warzone's standard Black Ops Royale is also temporarily removed for a new limited-time mode.
In terms of content, Season 3 Reloaded brings two more weapons to unlock, the new Totenreich Zombies map, limited-time modes for Warzone, and a new set of operator missions for Endgame. Players can also expect the midseason update to include new events packed with cosmetic rewards, including a RoboCop crossover event with free and paid event passes.
Upcoming anti-cheat updatesThe midseason patch notes detail an upcoming security requirement for PC players. These changes are not included with Season 3 Reloaded, but they will be implemented with Season 4 to help Call of Duty's Ricochet anti-cheat better combat cheating.

Microsoft has released its latest earnings report, and while the company overall posted huge gains for revenue and profit, the Xbox division continued to show downward, negative trends. The tough times at Xbox are expected to continue as well, as Microsoft forecast further declines to come. The Xbox business has been slumping for some time, so this was just the latest quarter of declines for the gaming unit at Microsoft.
Xbox is part of Microsoft's "More Personal Computing" division, and gaming revenue decreased by $380 million, or 7%. The decline was driven by lower content on Xbox content and services, and hardware results coming in softer. Xbox content and services dipped by 5%, while Xbox hardware revenue slumped by 33% due to fewer consoles sold.
Gross margin for the entire More Personal Computing division increased by 6%, driven by Microsoft's advertising and gaming businesses, the company said. Additionally, a benefit to selling fewer consoles meant that cost of revenue decreased by 10%, falling to $584 million. That's not entirely attributable to lower Xbox sales, though, as Microsoft offers a variety of other hardware platforms.

The first Resident Evil trailer has arrived, and as previous previews of the movie hinted at, director Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons) is putting a fresh spin on the longrunning survival-horror video game series. Starring Austin Abrams (Euphoria, The Walking Dead) as a medical courier who has chosen the worst possible time to visit Raccoon City, the film looks like a major departure from the campy live-action adaptations that began with Paul W.S. Anderson's 2002 movies.
Resident Evil also stars Zach Cherry, Johnno Wilson, Paul Walter Hauser, and Kali Reis. Cregger has spoken about his love for the games and how the movie is a passion project, but at the same time, he doesn't want to be tied down by their narrative.

One of the ways that Fortnite is celebrating May the Fourth, Star Wars Day, in 2026 is by unleashing a pile of new user-created modes and ushering in the Star Wars era for the Unreal Editor for Fortnite. Ahead of the launch of these maps, Epic Games gave us hands-on time with several of them, including a pretty compelling-looking Battlefront-style mode, a survival-horror mode in which you're hunted by Darth Vader, and a droid-themed tycoon map.
Epic Games has been gradually adding items and assets from various franchises, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Squid Game, and The Walking Dead, for use in custom Fortnite islands for a couple of years now. Star Wars, however, is the biggest and most famous property to join the party so far. Creators have had access to these Star Wars assets for a little while, and they'll be able to unleash their creations starting May 1. You should expect a flood of Star Wars-themed modes right from the start–Epic says there will be hundreds.
We won't presume to guess what all is in store for us from UEFN's many developers, since there's likely to be plenty of surprises on the way. But we'll take you through what we've already played, which should give you a pretty good idea of the kinds of islands that Epic believes will do well. We'll start with the one we're most excited about.

Following the huge box-office success of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo snuck in a small update to Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch that adds a bit more story.
The update gives Rosalina's Storybook, which depicts the tale of twin Lumas, a proper epilogue. You can unlock this new chapter simply by completing any galaxy and nabbing a Power Star, assuming you've unlocked all of the previous storybook chapters already.
While you might guess that this epilogue codifies the new canon established by the Super Mario Galaxy Movie--something Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto seemed keen to honor in the games--that isn't the case with this storybook update. There's still a bit of Rosalina in this epilogue, though, and this last chapter should prove to be emotional for anyone invested in Galaxy's storybook subplot.
