Weeks After Launching A Great Game On Game Pass, Dev Lays Off Its Staff

Late last month, Kwalee Labs launched its first-person horror shooter Luna Abyss on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. But not even a day-one Game Pass release was apparently enough to save the jobs of the team that made Luna Abyss. Kwalee Labs CEO and production director Hollie Emery announced on her LinkedIn page that she and the other eight members of Luna Abyss's development team were laid off earlier this week for undisclosed reasons. "Unfortunately as of yesterday, the…

Spider-Man actor Tom Holland reveals his Spider-Man replacement pick

Earlier in June, Spider-Man: Brand New Day star Tom Holland once again alluded to being ready to walk away from playing the Marvel Cinematic Universe hero he's embodied since 2015's Captain America: Civil War. "I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter," he told Empire. "Whatever that looks like, I don’t know. But if I could do what [Robert] Downey [Jr.] did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset."

The most important scene in Fast & Furious lasts less than a minute and Vin Diesel didn't get paid to film it

Two decades ago, many fans of the Fast and Furious movies felt the franchise had run out of gas. For the third movie in the series, director Justin Lin and writer Chris Morgan abandoned the franchise's established main characters, shifted the focus to Japan, and introduced an entirely new cast led by a teenager (who looked like he was 20) learning the art of drifting. It felt like an odd detour, and critics skewered it as a desperate sequel destined for…

Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival hands-on: The first good Hellraiser game?

As a lifelong fan of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser mythos, I’m cautiously enthusiastic about its first “true” game adaptation, Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, after spending an hour hands-on with the game. Saber Interactive’s new first-person shooter horror game feels a bit like BioShock Lite that's been slathered in the leather, latex, blood, sex, and gore the Hellraiser franchise is infamous for.

Baldur’s Gate TV Show Gets A Positive-Sounding Update About The Cast

When the Baldur's Gate TV show was announced in 2025, people quickly became suspicious when it was confirmed that developer Larian has no involvement in it. Now, actor Samantha Béart--who plays Karlach in Baldur's Gate 3--has shared a positive-sounding update about the live-action series. Béart told GamesRadar that Craig Mazin, who is heading up the Baldur's Gate TV series, reached out to personally express that he believes the "key cast of Baldur's Gate 3 should be meaningfully on-screen on the show…

Finally, A Fun NBA Game That Doesn’t Ask For All My Time And Money

If you're going to take on a juggernaut like NBA 2K, you'd better have a strong gameplan. Built from the cherished streetball memories of yesteryear and the charismatic vibes of today, NBA The Run is Play by Play Studios' debut effort and the team's attempt to squeeze into basketball fandom's gaming timeshare. As soon as you see it, it's clear this is a very different take on the sport than the true-to-life simulation that is NBA 2K, but doing something different…

Guild Wars 3 Won’t Have “Hidden” Subscriptions Like Battle Passes

Guild Wars 3, the next MMORPG from developer ArenaNet, won't have a paid subscription, and it won't include battle passes or other paid seasonal systems, either. In a blog post, studio head Colin Johanson outlined the core pillars ArenaNet is focused on when it comes to creating the third entry in the Guild Wars franchise, freshly announced as part of Summer Games Fest 2026. One of those key pillars is something that has been a main focus of every Guild Wars…

The trailer for Pokémon Pokopia's upcoming DLC teases many exciting things, but the cozy game may have even more surprises in store. Based on some newly-released artwork, it seems the Pokémon spinoffwill introduce even more features and monsters that haven't been formally announced yet. And if fan speculation is to be believed, the life sim may soon incorporate one of the best features from the main games as well.
