Devolver Digital's next big gamble? "Video game adaptations of our favorite movies, shows, comics, and more"

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is reportedly set to arrive in PS5 not long after it initially releases later this year as a timed exclusive. Yep, it’s looking like the game about exploring crypts, punching Nazis and doing those same things in the opposite order may well be the next title to go multiplatform as part of that new strategy Xbox has begun employing in 2024.According to podcaster and industry insider Nate The Hate, Machine Games’s whip-swinging adventure title will only have a short window of Xbox exclusivity before being chased by a boulder onto PS5 too.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings “MachineGames’ Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will release on Xbox & PC this holiday (Dec) as a timed console exclusive, they tweeted, “After…

Get ready to take a trip to the cinema, SatoSugu fans (and possibly a flight too), as Jujutsu Kaisen’s Hidden Inventory arc is getting a compilation movie.Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 was some of the best anime I’ve seen in a while, and while I’m extra fond of certain episodes in particular, it’s the season’s first arc, Hidden Inventor/ Premature Death, that’s the clear standout. From the slice-of-life-esque opening, to the ridiculously high quality of all five episodes, to the emotional beats that absolutely devastate you, it’s an arc that could easily work as its own self-contained series. And clearly enough other people feel similarly, as over the week, the anime’s official Twitter account announced that the short arc is being turned into a compilation movie, with a planned release of someti…

Remedy’s done a thing. The studio has just announced it’s put together a partnership with Annapurna Interactive – you know, the folks who published that cat game and a bunch of other acclaimed indies – to help bankroll Control 2. As part of the deal, Annapurna’s getting the rights to bring Alan Wake and Control to TV and film screens.As announced in a press release that contains at least one joke about Finnish people having no emotions, Remedy’s done this with the aim of making sure Control 2 is the all-singing, all-dancing thing its developers want to deliver.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The arrangement in unfun business terms is this: Annapurna becomes “a co-production and co-financing partner” on Control 2…

The Batman was neither extremely grounded nor a colorful comic book take on the (DC) world’s greatest detective. As a direct answer to both Christopher Nolan’s notable trilogy and Zack Snyder’s half-baked take on the character, Matt Reeves’ own approach to Bruce Wayne and his vigilante persona was gritty and slightly stylized, but its dark feet were still firmly planted in reality. According to him, that won’t change in the sequels.During a chat with SFX magazine (via Deadline), the filmmaker, now deep into The Batman: Part II’s writing process, doubled down on the idea of toying with the comics’ rich mythology without going too fantastical, as James Gunn’s rebooted DCU continuity will be doing that anyway with Batman: The Brave & The Bold.To see this content please enable targeting co…

A PS5 port of Palworld – that hit from earlier this year that got everyone realky into or really angry about the idsrea of Pokemon with guns for a hot minute – has been the subject of speculation for a good while now. The latyest potential hint that it could actually be coming? A listing for this year’s Tokyo Game Show.This certainly isn’t the first time chatter about Palworld possibly rocking up on Sony’s consoles has popped up, with what many interpreted as a Twitter tease of it from Palworld community manager Bucky back in June having prompted some hope, and Pocketpair itself not having ruled out maybe brining the game to more platforms.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The latest potential hint at Palworld hitting PlayStation is a listing on the…

Dragon’s Dogma 2 just got a fresh update, and it adds a new mode to the game specifically aimed at folks who want to have a more chill time exploring Vermund and Battahl, without worrying too much about stuff like having to pay for a room whenever they rock up in Vernworth.If you didn’t give DD2 a go at launch or bounced off of it pretty quickly, that’s ok, but you might have missed out on something pretty great, especially if you’re into games where you’ve constantly got to ask for directions and can have a nice cart journey ruined by a cyclops at any time .To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Following on from some key tweaks that came alongside a free trial back in June, DD2’s latest update for PC and consoles adds a casual mode to the game, with th…

Assassin’s Creed Shadows will fulfil a long-running wish from fans for Japan as a setting, but Ubisoft thinks that there hasn’t been a better time than now to make it.I can remember as far back as the days of Assassin’s Creed 2 where lovers of the series would ask Ubisoft to make a game set in Japan, or even just anywhere in Asia for that matter. It somewhat eventually did that with Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, but so many years later it’s only in 2024 that a game that’s set in Japan, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, will be in player’s hands. But, if you ask the game’s art director Thierry Dansereau, it’s good that the studio has waited until now to make the game, as it has allowed the devs to work on its “new-gen features” which he believes were “much needed” for a game set in Japan.To s…

Oh dear; 2019’s Joker was a box office hit, raking in $1 billion at the box office, but Folie a Deux has failed to beat even Morbius in its domestic opening weekend.You know, I never quite understood how Todd Phillips’ Joker did so well at the box office, even as popular as the character is. Like, a billion dollars? Seriously? The guy that made The Hangover made a movie that successful? So of course when a sequel was announced there were some pretty big expectations, and after its first weekend, it is incredibly safe to say that those expectations have not been met in the slightest. Joker: Folie a Deux finally released last Friday, October 4, almost six whole years after the original film, and its opening weekend in the US brought in… $37 million. For context, the first film opened …

The name of a video game has been written down and rated by the Taiwanese ratings board. That name is Death Note: Killer Within, and it’s coming (at some point) to the PS4 and PS5, with Bandai Namco as its publisher.This was first spotted by Gematsu, of course. The staff there has gained quite the reputation for spotting these things as they pop up. There’s no word on what genre it’ll be as of yet, nor when it’ll come out, or which development team will be beind it, but it has indeed been rated. Cool stuff for old school anime fans.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings This wouldn’t be the first Death Note game by any means. In fact, it looks like there have been four already, judging by a quick Google search. However, this would be the most recent appe…
