Fall Guys is going free-to-play for all platforms, and it's also adding Switch and Xbox to those platforms on June 21. Developer Mediatonic announced the game's big summer update during a reveal stream earlier today. From June 21, Fall Guys will be available to play for free on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S, PS4, PS5, and PC. Cross-play, cross-platform parties, and cross-progression will be available across all versions through Epic Online Services, which will require an Epic Games account. There's some important fine print for those platforms. For starters, while existing Steam players will continue to get all updates going forward, Fall Guys won't be available to download on Steam for new players after June 20. It's moving exclusively to the Epic Games Store. PS5 users, meanwhile, are also getting a free new-gen upgrade "bringing faster load times and other performance upgrades to your fabulous next-gen box of tricks." As you'd expect, … [Read more...] about Fall Guys Switch and Xbox versions coming in June with the whole game going free-to-play

Mayans MC: CM Punk On The Importance Of Telling His Character’s Story
When AEW's CM Punk made his first appearance as Paul, Gilly's (Vincent "Rocco" Vargas) military veteran friend in Season 2 of FX's Mayans MC , it was a shock. Practically unannounced before airing, Punk's appearance on such a high-profile show was a delight for wrestling fans. Once the character's story started to unfold over the fourth and fifth episode of the season, though, it quickly became clear how important a story it was. Paul, like many who have served in the military, is dealing with a pretty severe case of post-traumatic stress disorder. We see this first at a birthday party in Episode 4, "A Crow Flew By," when he loses his temper at another party guest. Of course, things took a much darker turn in Episode 5, "Death of the Virgin." The following contains spoilers for the fifth episode of Mayans MC Season 4, "Death of the Virgin." If you've yet to watch the latest installment, you should stop reading now. Early in the episode, Gilly is called to Paul's home, and it's … [Read more...] about Mayans MC: CM Punk On The Importance Of Telling His Character’s Story
How Does Cross Worlds Fit Into The Ni No Kuni Universe?
Historically, Ni no Kuni has taken an almost Final Fantasy-style approach to sequels. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch and its only-in-Japan counterparts, Dominion of the Dark Djinn for DS and Hotroit Stories for mobile devices, exist as one story. The console sequel, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, takes place many generations later, with any ties to the original basically functioning as fun Easter eggs. Characters and plot don't move between games, but themes, the art style, and certain enemies and races do. The 2019 Ni no Kuni movie took a similar approach and did not feature direct overlap with the games. The upcoming No no Kuni mobile MMO, Cross Worlds, is continuing the tradition and not relying on the story that came before it. But there are plenty of reasons to recognize Cross Worlds as a legitiamte Ni no Kuni game that understands its roots--and it might be more of proper sequel than assumed. The original Ni no Kuni tells the story of a young boy who loses his mother … [Read more...] about How Does Cross Worlds Fit Into The Ni No Kuni Universe?

New Silent Hill Games: Everything We Know (And Want To See)
It has been a very, very long time since we've seen anything from the Silent Hlil series, with a full decade having passed since the release of Silent Hill: Book of Memories on Vita--and an almost unbelievable eight years since PT gave fans hope for the Hideo Kojima-led reboot Silent Hills. Now, however, it appears we could finally be returning to Konami's legendary horror series, and it could be with multiple games. Here's what we know--including rumors--about the Silent Hill franchise's future, as well as what we hope to see as we head into Summer Game Fest and the other Not-E3 events in June. Multiple games? Despite being on ice for so long, it appears the Silent Hill franchise will be returning with not just one, but several different games . Assuming reports on these games are accurate, Konami seems to be catering to multiple different types of players across these titles rather than trying to produce one game capable of pleasing them all. According to Grubbsnax host … [Read more...] about New Silent Hill Games: Everything We Know (And Want To See)
Stranger Things Season 4 Details Leaked in Monopoly Set, Creators Are Unhappy
If you're a serious Stranger Things fan as well as a serious Monopoly fan, you might want to hold off a bit longer before diving into the new themed edition of the classic board game, because it spoils some pretty major plot points from Stranger Things Season 4 . Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer are not happy about it, according to The Hollywood Reporter . While the Duffer Brothers are reportedly quite involved with marketing efforts for their massively successful Netflix series, the show is too big at this point for them to see everything, and the game seems to have slipped by, causing the brothers to have a "total meltdown" according to sources. The toy and board game industries move at a different pace from the film and television industries and has been a source of spoilers more than once in recent years, frustrating creators and fans alike. As THR notes, Jon Favreau fiercely protected Grogu, also known as Baby Yoda or The Child, from spoilers, causing the associated … [Read more...] about Stranger Things Season 4 Details Leaked in Monopoly Set, Creators Are Unhappy
She-Hulk series gets first trailer and Disney Plus release date
The very first She-Hulk trailer is here and it confirms the previously leaked August 17 release date for the Disney Plus series. The trailer starts off with some words of advice from seasoned superhero Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who we get to see as the Hulk – specifically his Professor Hulk persona introduced in Avengers: Endgame – for the first time since Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. More importantly, we finally have our first look at Tatiana Maslany as the titular attorney at law, Jennifer Walters. Walters is a reluctant superhero who just wants to be a normal, non-green attorney, date around, and enjoy time with her friends, but she's afflicted with a familiar and terrifying problem: she transforms into She-Hulk when she's angry or scared. Naturally, as the only other known human with experience with this sorta thing, her cousin Bruce Banner arrives at some point to show her the ropes. In the comics , She-Hulk is a member of The Avengers' … [Read more...] about She-Hulk series gets first trailer and Disney Plus release date
Bruce Campbell hilariously breaks down his Doctor Strange 2 cameo
Bruce Campbell has revealed his thoughts on all his Sam Raimi cameos – including his role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness . Campbell starred in the three Evil Dead movies helmed by Raimi, and had brief cameos in the director's Spider-Man trilogy. He most recently appeared in Doctor Strange 2 as Pizza Poppa, who demands to be paid for food taken by America Chavez – and is enchanted by Stephen Strange to continuously hit himself in the face. "You know, the only criteria I ever need is that the character has to be pivotal," Campbell told The Hollywood Reporter of the cameos. "In the first Spider-Man, I named Spider-Man. In the second one, I'm the only character to defeat Spider-Man by not letting him into the theater. And in Spider-Man 3, he comes to the maître d' for help with his proposal to Mary Jane. How many superheroes come to mortals for help? Like, zero. So, I set a precedent. And if you do put me in there, it'll change the movie forever. Sam is aware … [Read more...] about Bruce Campbell hilariously breaks down his Doctor Strange 2 cameo
