Stop what you’re doing. You know the Starfield moon buggy, the one that arrived for free last week, after being revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live? Well, it’s now followed in the footsteps of Skyrim’s dragons and the actual spaceships it shares the settled systems with by being turned into Thomas the Tank Engine by modders, because of course it has.Since the vehicle arrived, it’s been earning lots of positive reviews from would-be cosmic Clarksons, and within just a few days was providing the framework for a host of mods that swap it out for everything from a Star Wars landspeeder to a Crimson Fleet-liveried van.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Well, it’s taken just under a week, but there’s now one that tur…

Deadpool & Wolverine has been the box office hit that Disney and Marvel Studios were looking for, but most fans still aren’t convinced we’re back. Sure, other recent movies and shows were pretty good, but since around 2022, we’ve been stuck in a mostly mid-to-bad zone that lacks the spark of the Infinity Saga days. Well, this 85th anniversary video really tries to sell the idea things will get better soon.Released alongside a meaty Entertainment Weekly article, the 2:40 video celebrates Marvel as a whole and its history, yet it clearly focuses on the company’s movie and TV side, which is rather wild when you think about it. People just don’t read as many comic books anymore, I guess.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings…

UPDATE (04/09/24, 4:00 PM BST): HoYoverse has provided VG247 with the following statement: “Genshin Impact is a free-to-play game. You do not need to purchase Game Pass Ultimate or Core to play the game in Co-Op Mode. Players with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription can receive in-game bundles upon the game’s launch and after subsequent version updates, as well as play Genshin Impact on Xbox Cloud Gaming.”Original story follows below.One of the big reveals that ended up arriving during Gamescom 2024 was the announcement that Genshin Impact’s set to arrive on Xbox this November, four years after it originally came out in 2020. However, a detail on the game’s Xbox Store page seems to suggest that despite it being free-to-play, you’ll need to invest in a Game Pass subscription in order to acces…

The sort-of sequel, sort-of soft reboot of The Office has just added its next round of cast members.Some kind of follow-up to the much beloved series The Office has been in the works for some time now, but it wasn’t until May of this year where the series was finally ordered by Peacock. And now, as reported by the Palisadian-Post, the next three cast members have been confirmed for the new series thanks to a visit the trio made to the long-running paper. The three actors in question are apparently Chelsea Frei (Poker Face), Melvin Gregg (American Vandal), and Ramona Young (Santa Clarita Diet), all of which seem pretty suitable for a mockumentary series like The Office.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The new series, currently believed to be called …

If you’re looking forward to digging into Starfield’s Shattered Space expansion when it arrives later this month, you’re in luck, as Bethesda’s just put out a fresh deep-dive video that sees some of the DLC’s developers talk you through what you’ll be in for when you head off to discover what on Earth’s up with House Va-ruun.While we’ve already gotten a fair amount of details and teases about how the studio’s gone about the DLC on a practical level and what it’ll be like thematically, this is the first time Bethesda’s really gone into depth in terms of setting up how your character gets dragged into its story, and exactly what they’ll be getting up to.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings In this fresh deep-dive video, various Starfield developers inclu…

After a long wait, Arcane season 2 is almost here, and Netflix finally confirmed when you’ll be able to watch the final season.This week was Netflix Geeked Week, and the streamer had plenty of announcements, including the fact that a new Cyberpunk animated series is on the way, and the equally long-awaited Devil May Cry anime has a release window too. But League of Legends fans will be most interested in the new trailer for season 2 (which is also the last season) of the animated series Arcane. The whole thing essentially feels like an appropriately edgy music video from the 2000s, which feels perfect for the kind of emotions Vi will be going through following the end of the first season. Alongside this new trailer, which you can check out below (an epilepsy warning there for that one, tho…

Ryan Murphy, creator of shows like American Horror Story and Glee, is back with a new show, this time one with an… interesting premise.If there’s one thing you can count on when it comes to Ryan Murphy, it’s that you can always expect a show that people will talk about from him, even if maybe it’s not for the right reasons. Most recently the television maker has been working on season two of the Netflix series, The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. But just yesterday, FX ordered a new show from Murphy, this time one based on the 2016 graphic novel, The Beauty, a comic where you can achieve physical perfection by contracting a sexually transmitted disease. I haven’t read the comic, so I can’t speak to its quality, but that certainly is a story right there.To see this content please enabl…

Launching an online game is hard, this much is true. Though it may have been a while since we’ve last witnessed one of those all-time launch disasters, Diablo 4 seemingly wanted to remind everyone that we’ve been having it too good recently.Somehow, the launch of the game’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, went down significantly worse than the main game’s. Players spent hours unable to play, as they waited for updates from Blizzard.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Vessel of Hatred was supposed to launch at 4pm PT (Blizzard HQ time), but right before it went live, Blizzard announced that it’s pushing back the launch. The developer didn’t offer a timeline, saying that while it still expects the expansion to laun…
