Summary Marvel Rivalsdataminers have found character models and movesets for Blade and Ultron, suggesting it won’t be long until they join the game’s stacked roster.

We’ve seen very little from Notch in terms of new games ever since that sale, which isn’t that surprising since he’s now set for life....

Summary A character artist who has done work forNetherRealm Studioshas shared a near-final design for Kung Jin inMortal Kombat 1, potentially supporting a rumour that suggested he was part of the cancelled Kombat Pack 3. From its blood-soaked, ESRB-starting inception to its fumbled crossover with DC,Mortal Kombatis no stranger to controversy and underwhelming games.That all came to a head last year with the release of Mortal Kombat 1which, despite having some of the series' best gameplay,was panned by players due to its “predatory” item shop, grinding, and missing features....

The collection gave thePS5, DualSense, and other accessories a PS1-grey makeover and wound up being incredibly popular, selling out fast. However, it seems there will be at least one more chance for those who missed out to get their hands on some of the items in the anniversary range.

Summary Pokemon Go’send of year event references two gay icons, Chappell Roan and Mr Freeze (specifically the Batman and Robin version). Under the research tab in the Holiday Part 1 collection, you can find two challenges: Hot to Go — ie Chappell Roan’s most iconic song — and Ice to Meet You.

As anyone who has been waiting for a newStar FoxorF-Zerogame will no doubt be aware of,Nintendo is sitting on an awful lot of unused games and series. While it does occasionally like to surprise us all by bringing them back every now and again (just take a look at last year’s new Famicom Detective Club), there are some franchises that seem like they won’t be returning....

Prime’s newest animated series,Secret Level, is a bit of a weird one. I wasnaively optimisticwhen it was first announced at Gamescom earlier this year, and it turned out to not be as great as I hoped. That’s an L for me, but I’m fine with that – it’s at least proof that I’m nottotallyjaded by this industry. Secret Level Isn’t A Game Changer Now that reviews are out (ours is here) and its first eight episodes are available to stream, it’s become apparent that the show isn’t as ambitious as many of us expected....
