There's a fairly detailed rundown of the plot in Entertainment's piece, should you wish to know what motivates Jax, a man with two giant metal arms, but suffice to say the roster also includes: Kano, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Mileena, Raiden, Shang Tsung, and Sonya Blade. Best of all there's a new character, Cole Young, who knows nothing of his heritage beyond, and I'm not making this up, a birthmark on his chest that is the Mortal Kombat symbol. … [Read more...] about New shots and details of the Mortal Kombat movie reboot that is ‘definitely not gonna get a PG-13 rating’ (Updated)
Scum update patch notes
Hades dev responds to translation criticism, says it paid pros and community members alike
"When we first added localized content to our Early Access build back in 2019, members of our international community started providing a lot of good feedback about those translations.

Star Wars, Indiana Jones, 007, and an incoming Golden Age for Licensed Games
Massive has a penchant for delivering open-world games infused with RPG DNA.

Of course, the Ubisoft announcement doesn't preclude EA from continuing to collaborate with Lucasfilm Games in the future either. A sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order from Respawn Entertainment seems likely, as too does some kind of spiritual successor to Star Wars Squadrons – Podracing, please! – which proved a little too late that Star Wars games can succeed (creatively and financially) at the smaller end of the AAA spectrum. … [Read more...] about Star Wars, Indiana Jones, 007, and an incoming Golden Age for Licensed Games
