"We've considered recasting Bella exactly zero percent," writer Neil Druckmann told GamesRadar.

Showrunner Craig Mazin said he and Druckmann never considered recasting Ramsey, who uses they/them pronouns, as Ellie.

The next big title update for Assassin's Creed Shadows is now live, and according to the patch notes, it adds numerous quality-of-life upgrades, improvements to the PS5 Pro version, and addresses several bugs. Depending on the platform you're playing on, the patch ranges in size from 9GB to 19.5GB. The full patch notes are below, but there are some spoilers in them to watch out for.

Ubisoft says that it has focused on various game improvements, like an auto-follow option for players when they're on horseback. While this function was present in several of the previous Assassin's Creed games, it was absent when Shadows launched in March. To use it, players can activate the pathfinder feature to enable auto-follow to a marked destination. Horse speeds in cities have also been increased, but you'll still want to watch out for pedestrians so that you don't anger the local authorities.

Other highlights of the patch include the option to tag and sell/dismantle multiple items in shops or at the hideout forge, the ability to reset Mastery nodes in the skill trees, and a new shortcut for direct access to the investigation board. If you're playing the game in Performance mode, the Hideout will no longer be capped to 30fps when you visit it.

One of the developers behind the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong has clarified that the indie Metroidvania will launch on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 when it finally does come out.

Because we've waited so long for this game and most recently saw it in a Switch 2 presentation, that can make one wonder if Hollow Knight: Silksong is now a Switch 2 exclusive. "Just to clarify...Hollow Knight: Silksong is coming to both Nintendo Switch AND the Nintendo Switch 2," Matthew Griffin, a member of Team Cherry's marketing and publishing team, explained on X.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is infamous due to the long gap between its announcement and release. Developer Team Cherry first revealed the sequel to Hollow Knight at E3 2019 and even showed off extended gameplay during a Nintendo livestream. The game then disappeared for years before reappearing at Microsoft's 2022 Xbox Games Showcase, where it was teased that it'd be out within the year. That didn't end up happening.

A free update is on the way to Vampire Survivors this month, and while it will add cross-save support on PC and Xbox consoles, PlayStation owners won't be receiving the feature. According to Vampire Survivors developer Poncle, cross-save support for PS4 and PS5 won't be included in the update due to a legal issue.

"We're sorry to say [we] won't be able to bring the Vampire Survivors cross-save feature to PlayStation 4 and 5 alongside our next update," Poncle explained on the game's Threads account. "Last month, we told everyone that cross-save would be available on PlayStation 4 and 5, PC, Xbox, Android, and iOS alongside our next free Vampire Survivors update in April. But at [the] last minute, we've run into a legal issue on PlayStation we weren't aware of, that requires us to share info on our partners that we're unable to."

While PlayStation cross-save support isn't being ruled out entirely, Poncle did add that chances of it coming to the consoles remains "slim" for now, but it is working on resolving the issue with PlayStation. The update will be coming to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles first, and then to Nintendo Switch at a later date. The Apple Arcade version of Vampire Survivors might also get the update, if it can be done without breaching any privacy commitments, Poncle noted.

Glover, the 1998 3D platformer starring a glove with four fingers who likes to roll around on a colorful rubber ball, recently received a new physical edition for Nintendo Switch. Published by Limited Run Games, Glover initially sold out at Amazon when the retailer listed it a couple months back, but it's back in stock now for its normal $35 price. Glover has been sold out on Limited Run's storefront since last year, so you have another opportunity to revisit this bizarre platformer that tends to draw strong reactions due to its cumbersome controls and steep difficulty spikes.

Glover for Nintendo Switch $35

The 3D platformer stars the eponymous magical glove, Glover, who is tasked with guiding various crystals (disguised as rubber balls) back to the castle after a massive explosion sent them flying throughout the kingdom. You’ll roll through 30 levels and six different worlds, each one featuring the same retro graphics as the original game.

Just like the original, there’s also a bunch of power-ups and weird characters to encounter during your journey. Despite its flaws Glover has become something of a cult classic over the years--so if you’re interested in checking out the Nintendo 64-era 3D. platformer and like to own physical games, snag a copy while you can.

See at Amazon

Limited Run has noted that Glover is not a numbered release in the Limited Run Games Collection. Instead, the company is distributing Glover for QUbyte Classics. In other words, if you’re an avid collector of Limited Run games, missing out on this won’t ruin your collection.

Another way to play Glover on a modern console is with the Blaze Evercade Piko Collection 4. The collection includes 10 games (one of which is Glover) and can be played on Evercade Handheld, Evercade VS-R, Evercade EXP-R, Evercade Alpha, and Super Pocket. Beyond Glover, the $24 cartridge includes Street Racer, Risky Woods, Skuljagger, Star X, and more.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey is one of AEW's brightest new stars, having already lit up the independent scene across the world, and was recently a champion in TNA Wrestling. At Sunday's pay-per-view, Bailey was a participant in a triple-threat match for the International Championship--which featured Ricochet and Kenny Omega--where they debuted gear designed to look like Frog from Chrono Trigger.

Designed by famed gear maker Sway Archer, who does all of Bailey's gear, Bailey wanted to pay tribute to Frog in his biggest match yet.

"I am often smaller than my opponents. I have had terrible luck in my pro wrestling career that forced me to take a more difficult path than many others," they told GameSpot. "My martial arts training has taught me to always be humble and respectful. Glenn was cursed and is now a frog, yet he remains an accomplished fighter and a hero. I think our paths are very similar. It's that same story that I want the audience to see in 'Speedball' Mike Bailey."

Re-releases of the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and 3 look to be coming, as ratings for cross-gen editions of "MW2" and "MW3" have appeared online thanks to the Australian Classification Board.

Via Insider Gaming, each game predictably received Australia's MA 15+ rating. They were classified on April 3 with MW2 specifically mentioned as being a PS5 cross-gen edition. The MW3 entry doesn't mention PS5 specifically but is listed as being cross-gen as well.

No other details about the games were revealed aside from them coming from Activision Blizzard and a production date of 2025. While it wasn't explicitly clarified or confirmed that these two titles are the re-releases or remasters of the original MW2 and 3 from 2009 and 2011, the fact that each game listing uses the numbers "2" and "3" as opposed to the modern Modern Warfare reboots' roman numerals does point towards these being new versions of the Xbox 360 and PS3-era titles.

A Minecraft Movie is in theaters now and is making a lot of money. A sequel is reportedly in the works. But what other video game movie might A Minecraft Movie star Emma Myers want to be in?

Asked by Digital Spy if she would want to star in The Legend of Zelda live-action Zelda movie, Myers said she would consider appearing in any video game movie. "I mean, whoever will have me in their video game movie," she said.

"The Last of Us show is really, really good so maybe if they did a Red Dead Redemption, that would be sick. Portal would be good," she said. "That'd be a really good animated series, or something like that."
