Featuring the Court of Owls?
Update: The developer has posted a fresh teaser this evening, showing those mysterious symbols much more clearly.

Original Story: The...
News Hitman 2's Final Piece of DLC Takes a Trip to the Maldives, Out Next Week on PS4
Along with two more Special Assignments
It feels like, compared to its predecessor, Hitman 2 has very much gone under the radar. It was a great game at launch, but we think it's safe to say that the sequel hasn't had the same impact the episode-based original had. Nevertheless, IO Interactive's latest rounds out its season pass content next week on...

News Mortal Kombat 11 DLC Characters Confirmed, Pack Includes Terminator, Joker, Spawn
The leaks were right
After months of leaks and rumours and some often absurd speculation, the contents of Mortal Kombat 11's 'Kombat Pack' has been revealed.

News Dying Light 2 Is in Development for Both PS4 and PS5, Techland Confirms
Cross-gen zombies

Yes, the free-running zombie action game is making the leap across platforms...

E3 2019 Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 Packaging Appears to Leak
Includes a bunch of bonus goodies
Turns out this author does get things wrong from time to time. Regardless of what CD Projekt RED has been saying, we didn’t actually expect Cyberpunk 2077 to release on the PlayStation 4 – at least not before the PlayStation 5 had established itself anyway. But between this leaked product packaging and a...
News Rocksteady Games Skipping E3 2019
Fourth year running
It wouldn't be an E3 without Rocksteady Games confirming that it'll once again be skipping the show.

Soapbox Mortal Kombat 11's Devs Have Missed the Point of the Loot Box Discussion
Lloyd isn't impressed by NetherRealm's loot box solution

Review Mortal Kombat 11 - Making One Fatal Mistake
Fatality
Mortal Kombat 11 sees the return of the nearly 27-year-old franchise, and likely for its last hurrah on this generation of consoles.

Beware the tax man – literally in Mortal Kombat 11’s case. NetherRealm’s revealed the latest all-new kombatant to join its brawler’s roster, and it’s literally a debt kollector – albeit one with four arms.

News Kotal Kahn Gets His Ass Kicked in Mortal Kombat 11 Reveal Trailer
Unlucky introduction
Man, these Mortal Kombat 11 trailers have got a little bit weird, haven’t they?

Review The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame - A Factory Built Sequel That Plays It Safe
Everything is alright
As with the film, you're likely to go into The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame knowing almost exactly what to expect.
