Without any kind of announcement from Square Enix, mobile game Kingdom Hearts Union X Dark Road has been delisted.The thing about Kingdom Hearts, is that if you actually play the games, overall it’s not that confusing. Square Enix has made that easier over the years with its various ports that consist of certain games in full, others compressed into cutscenes. But there’s been one game that has been stuck on mobile devices, despite being one of the most important for the future of the series: Kingdom Hearts Union X Dark Road. This one has a whole bunch of lore, and one of its main characters even shows up in Kingdom Hearts 3 – another, smaller but soon-to-be important character, Strelitzia, also made an appearance in Kingdom Hearts 4’s first and only trailer. So why, then, has Square Enix …
Read moreAmong Us has a new collab on the way, this time with Ace Attorney’s very own… Miles Edgeworth!Obviously the first port of call you’d expect for an Ace Attorney crossover of any kind is with everyone’s best boy Phoenix Wright, but late last night Innersloth announced that its next collaboration would feature Wright’s own rival stroke boyfriend Miles Edgeworth. There’s a pretty simple explanation for this one though, as in case you forgot, the latest Ace Attorney collection from Capcom, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, is all about Miles, so that’ll be why you’ll be able to get him as a free cosmetic in Among Us that’s dropping on September 9. It’s unclear if this is a limited time only kind of deal, so if you’re an avid Among Us and/ or Ace Attorney fan, you might want to hop …

Read moreThe highlight of the first Venom: The Last Dance trailer was the symbiote taking over a horse, which… isn’t exactly high praise. In the just-released second preview, however, things are looking more intriguing and unexpectedly high-stakes.We already knew that the third Venom movie was meant to be the ‘end of the line’ for Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and the chatty Venom symbiote unless some sort of very half-assed crossover event movie happens with Morbius, Kraven, and whatnot. The first trailer also introduced Chiwetel Ejiofor as a military-type and Juno Temple as a scientist both trying to hunt down and understand the symbiote just as a major invasion hits Earth. Now, the plot is getting a bit more complicated.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings One m…

Well, very chill, unless you’re one of the players that have ended up locked out due to the platform you’re using, unable to hop back into Los Santos as a distraction from all of that chatter about GTA 6 potentially catching a delay or not (as of right now, the answer to that looks to be a tentative no).To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings As revealed in the patch notes for this latest update to Online, the specific anti-cheat software that Rockstar’s added in is BattlEye, a name that’ll likely be familiar to folks who’ve played Destiny 2, Fortnite,…
Read moreMarvel has finally released the first trailer for Thunderbolts*, offering you a chance to play “Wait, Which MCU Movie Were They In?”While I’m sure some of you have seen those Thunderbolts* leaks from D23 earlier this year, I imagine there’s enough of you that have been holding off until the official trailer released, and if that’s you, well today’s your day. Marvel finally released the first teaser trailer for the new superhero flick, but despite it being “teaser” in name it’s actually a pretty lengthy trailer. Florence Pugh returns from 2021’s Black Widow as Yelena Belova, and will seemingly be the film’s lead.

Read moreAs part of the explosion in interesting and advanced Baldur’s Gate 3 modding projects that have popped up since Larian unleashed the official toolkit, one modder’s busy swapping out the game’s turn-based fights for real-time ones. After originally being shared in pretty basic form, their work now features both a working pause button and the ability to get your party involved in these frenetic skirmishes.In addition the the likes of custom maps and custom quests involving clown noses, modder tinybike’s project to swap BG3’s turn-based fights for RTWP ones that’re similar to the first two Baldur’s Gates has certainly been worth keeping an eye on, and it’s gradually growing into something you could actually use from a playthrough without issue.To see this content please enable targeting cooki…
Read moreWe still don’t know much about the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but the voice behind Toad is promising some “deep cuts” at least.A Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel has been in the works for a little while now, but it’s also still probably quite a while away until we’ll actually see anything from it. But Keegan-Michael Key, the actor who played everyone’s favourite anthropomorphic mushroom Toad, did share some tidbits in a recent interview with Men’s Journal. “One thing I can say about the second movie is that it’s a little broader in scope, and where it takes place is very intriguing lore and the Mario world,” Key said. “They’re going to find some really fantastic Easter eggs and it’s been very exciting so far.”To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie setti…
Read moreIt’s sounding like Astro Bot is a certified hit, as the game has apparently performed better than any other 3D platformer bar Mario over the past decade.These days, if you set out to make a 3D platformer, you’re possibly in for fighting an uphill battle. While the genre dominated 3D gaming’s earlier years, interest in it dwindled over the years, even if it’s had a bit of a comeback on the indie front in more recent years. Only Nintendo can manage to put out a truly successful platformer, but it does seem like Mario is in for some amount of competition. GamesIndustry.biz’s Christopher Dring, who has access to various bits of sales data for consoles and games alike, shared on Twitter earlier this week some tidbits about where console sales are at, but also how Astro Bot is doing.To see this …
Read moreUpdate Oct 9: We’ve tweaked the order of our Spiritborn Skill Trees to make levelling easier. We’ve also added some more commentary on how to play both the Poison Centipede and Lightning Eagle builds.Hailing from the wilds of Nahantu, the Spiritborn is the new class introduced to Diablo 4 with the release of the Vessel of Hatred expansion. Wielding the primal power of either the mighty Gorilla, fearsome Jaguar, majestic Eagle or scuttling Centipede, the Spiritborn can fit into a variety of powerful archetypes.However, at this stage in the life cycle of Diablo 4’s Vessel of Hatred expansion, 2 of these archetypes seem to stand out from the rest: the explosive DPS potential of the electrifying lightning-damage Eagle and the huge damage-over-time secreted by the poisonous Centipede.The …
