Hades has been rated for release on PS4 by the Korean Game Rating and Administration Committee, despite no public announcement of a PlayStation version. The listing also mentions Take-Two as the applicant, which would contrast with the self-published release the game got from Supergiant Games on both Nintendo Switch and PC.The rating, which as of May 15 is still listed on the GRAC website, was spotted by a user on the forum ResetEra and lists a deliberation date of April 30. Release dates or windows aren't mentioned on the website, but the description of the game makes it very clear that it's the same Hades released last year.Supergiant is no stranger to PlayStation, releasing several games on PS4 such as Pyre, Transistor, Bastion, but Hades initially only came to PC as an early access title before its eventual full release coincided with the Nintendo Switch version's launch. Early in development, there was no ending implemented and players were given a chance to provide feedback. The iterative development process seems to have worked, as Hades ultimately won Game of the Year awards at DICE and BAFTA, and it ended up being one of GameSpot's own top games of the year.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Dying Light 2 developer Techland has released another AMA video, answering the most-asked questions about its upcoming game. Today's video doesn't touch on as many gameplay subjects as the last Dying Light 2 AMA, instead focusing on the upcoming game's characters, story, and various factions.With Dying Light 2 set several years after Dying Light 1 and in a different part of the world, fans of the franchise were eager to learn if any characters would be returning. Dying Light 2 lead game designer Tymon Smektała answered, saying that we wouldn't see any familiar faces from Dying Light 1 return. "So Dying Light 2 takes place in a completely different place and quite a lot of years after the events of the first one," Smektała said. "For that reason, you will not encounter any returning characters from the first game."That doesn't mean that previous characters or factions will be totally absent though. Kyle Crane, the protagonist of the first game, for instance, won't appear but will be mentioned in Dying Light 2.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

May 14 marks launch day for Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, which is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S through backwards compatibility. You could pay the full $60 for a copy, or you could subscribe to EA Play Pro for less than half the game's retail price.There are two major caveats with this approach. The first is that Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is only available on EA Play Pro, not the standard EA Play subscription. Second, EA Play Pro is only available for PC players on Origin. Obviously, you'd need to stay subscribed to EA Play Pro for the duration of your time with the game, creating a chain locking you to the $15 monthly membership.Once subscribed to EA Play Pro, though, you can get immediate access to Mass Effect: Legendary Edition. You can also play tons of other EA titles like Star Wars: Squadrons and Titanfall 2.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nintendo sold more than 28 million Switch consoles during the past fiscal year, bringing the platform's lifetime sales up to 84.5 million. According to company president Shuntaro Furukawa, about a fifth of the systems that Nintendo moved last year were to homes that already owned one."In the previous fiscal year, household demand for multiple systems accounted for roughly 20% of unit sales of the Nintendo Switch family of systems," Furukawa said during the company's latest earnings call. This means that roughly six million of the systems that Nintendo sold during the last fiscal year were to households that already have a Switch.Nintendo has long made it a goal to sell multiple Switch systems to families, and Furukawa anticipates this demand will only continue to grow in the future. "Going forward, we expect demand for multiple systems per household will increase even as hardware unit sales grow," Furukawa said.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The May 20 update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will include the game's first-ever main quest for the Zombies Outbreak mode.Developer Treyarch said in a blog post that the open-ended Outbreak mode is proving to be very popular, coming in at just around the same player levels as the round-based modes. As such, Treyarch is continuing to support Outbreak with new content, which includes a main quest that will set up the story for the next round-based map.The studio isn't saying much about what to expect, which makes sense and is keeping with the Zombies tradition of keeping things shrouded in mystery until players discover the goods for themselves.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actors Boyd Holbrook (Narcos) and Shaunette Renée Wilson (The Resident) have joined the growing cast of the highly-anticipated fifth Indiana Jones movie, which doesn't yet have a title. News of Harrison Ford's new co-stars was first reported by Deadline.Holbrook and Wilson join Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round) in what's shaping up to be an impressive ensemble. While plot details are scarce to the point of being non-existent, Mikkelsen said in a recent interview that the script is "everything [he] wished it to be" and is "great." We will have to take his word for it now--the only other insight into the movie and the cast is Mikkelsen's further elaboration that he might be playing a character who is meant to function as "straight man" opposite Indiana Jones, while also providing some "larger-than-life" levity.Indiana Jones 5 will be directed by James Mangold (Logan) and hits theaters on July 29, 2022. Steven Spielberg, who directed all the previous films, stepped down, with Mangold taking over in May 2020. John Williams is coming back to write the music.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Angelina Jolie starred in the original Tomb Raider movies and Lara Croft remains one of her most recognizable roles, but the actress says she wasn't always keen on playing the part. Speaking to Collider, Jolie said she was initially hesitant about signing on for the movies, and in fact, she said no at one stage. But she eventually came around when she learned she would be able to travel the world and train with the British Military to get ready for the action role."I said, 'I really didn't feel like that character suited me.' I actually didn't at first want to do it; I said no," she said. "But they said you can travel the world and train with the British Military and so I had three months of seeing what I could do. And I would encourage anybody to do that. Sign up for as much as you can, give yourself a few months, push yourself to the limit and see, 'What can I do?' And you find that there's a lot you didn't know and some crazy, weird things you can do or you're capable of, so I love it."Jolie said she had three months to prepare for Tomb Raider and she wasn't sure she wanted to sign on until she found out how extensive the training would be to help her prepare to film some of the stunt sequences herself. Her answer came in response to a question about when in her career she realized it was valuable to be able to do you own stunts as an actor.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actor Ryan Reynolds has shared a decidedly NSFW new trailer for The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, the upcoming sequel to the 2017 action-comedy The Hitman's Bodyguard. Per the title, the new movie--which is hitting theaters on June 16--stars Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Salma Hayek.The comedic twist is, of course, in the casting. Reynolds will be returning as the unlikely but highly accomplished bodyguard Michael Bryce, who now wants to change careers. That all changes when he encounters Sonia (Salma Hayek), an infamous international con artist and wife of assassin Darius Kincaid (Jackson), who Bryce had to protect in the first movie. Some very shady and dangerous folks want Sonia and Darius dead, and Bryce--just when he thought he was out--has to come back for one last job. Another trailer was released back in April, but be sure to check out what Reynolds has shared online, below.I never know if we're filming or if this stuff just happens when you hang out with @SamuelLJackson and @SalmaHayek. #HitmansWifesBodyguard June 16. pic.twitter.com/7dZ7qLCKzT — Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) May 13, 2021The movie also stars Antonio Banderas, Morgan Freeman, and Frank Grillo, and it's directed by Patrick Hughes, who also helmed the first film.

After what seems like an eternity of development time and several delays, Biomutant finally releases later this month. In preparation for its launch, THQ Nordic and developer Experiment 101 have released uncut gameplay footage from multiple platforms.The footage, shown below on PC, shows our furry, customizable hero moving through the open world at a full 60fps and 4K resolution. Using a glider to cut down on travel time after jumping off a cliff, they make their way to a "Hopehall" location before a mini-boss starts attacking.Biomutant's combat varies depending on the class you select, but in this clip, the hero fires a few bullets to start things off before launching a spinning melee attack to keep targets at range. Comic-style words pop up as enemies take damage, and acrobatic maneuvers are needed to avoid attacks. It's all narrated by a gentle British voice, and halfway point in the fight, the hero activates a super-style ability and deals out a ton of extra damage.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

It's been nearly 20 years since Microsoft launched its original Xbox, with the anniversary taking place later in November this year. Not content with waiting, Microsoft has kicked off its Xbox 20th anniversary celebrations already, which includes a new range or merchandise at the official Xbox Store. If you're looking to really show your love for Xbox, you can pick up new T-shirts, caps, and more for the special event. You can take a closer look at some of the new 20th-anniversary merch below or browse the full collection at the Xbox Gear Store. Halo 20th Anniversary Tee $28 All the new merch is adorned with the Xbox 20 logo that Microsoft has splashed across all its media for the anniversary, but some of the best new items play with this a little bit. This Halo 20th Anniversary Tee is a good example of that, making sure you know what the event is for but spicing up the gold print with a silhouette of Master Chief. Since there hasn't been Halo Infinite news lately, this might be the next best thing until E3 2021. It'll be comfy, too, with the shirt made from 100% cotton. See at Xbox Halo 20th Anniversary Throw Pillow $30 The same logo is featured on a lovely black and gold throw pillow, measuring in at 18x18 inches. You can remove the case using a hidden zipper, letting you keep this collector's item as fresh as the day you bought it. Also included in the Halo-themed portion of the collection is a gloriously gold mug, and a laser-engraved tumbler that looks more like a flask than anything. See at Xbox Xbox 20th Anniversary Tee $28 If you're just looking for something a bit more simple and classic, the Xbox 20th Anniversary Tee ditches the Halo protagonist for the standard green Xbox logo, printed on a plain black shirt. This shirt is also made from 100% cotton like the Master Chief one above, so you don't have to worry about compromising on quality for the style. This logo is also featured on a 20th Anniversary Trucker Hat and a Premium Tote Bag. See at Xbox Xbox 20th Anniversary Mugs $15 each If you're looking for a new vessel for your coffee (or tea, no judgment here), the new black-and-green Xbox 20th Anniversary Mug will certainly fit the bill. You can personalize it with your name or GamerTag too, making sure no one steals it from the office kitchen. It'll hold 11oz of your beverage of choice, and it's both microwave- and dishwasher-safe. For those who prefer the look of the golden Halo design, you can also get it on a mug for the same price. See personalized mug at Xbox See gold Halo mug at Xbox If you're new to the Xbox family, you can also benefit from a returning deal on Xbox Game Pass. Grab a three-month subscription to Game Pass Ultimate (that includes access on Xbox and PC) for just $1 directly from Microsoft.
