It's been over two years since we learned that the Watch Dogs movie was finally being produced. The big screen adaptation of the open world game was first announced back in 2013 alongside the original game, then disappeared into development hell for years. It finally resurfaced when New Regency and Sony Pictures/Columbia Pictures formally partnered with Ubisoft on the adaptation and picked the director (Mathieu Turi, who worked on Meander and The Deep Dark), writers (Christie LeBlanc, who worked on Oxygène, and Victoria Bata, who worked on Pitch Perfect 3 and Fate: The Winx Saga), and cast (Tom Blyth, known for Billy the Kid […]

According to movie insider V Scooper, Nintendo is pitching a movie based on its sci-fi franchise Metroid. V Scooper added that Sony Pictures and Universal Pictures are fighting to win the rights to produce it: Metroid, last I heard a few months ago, was still in a bit of a push between studios, no updates since. Sony is one of the stronger contenders for Metroid, Universal is also fighting for it, both are leaning for live action but this could change. Both studios have experience adapting Nintendo IPs to the big screen. Universal, through its Illumination subsidiary, was extremely successful […]

A few hours ago, British developer Creative Assembly and publisher SEGA have posted what looks like a teaser trailer for Alien: Isolation 2 on the official YouTube channel of the first game.

Interestingly, DSO Gaming spotted that Alien: Isolation 2 will be powered by Epic's Unreal Engine 5 rather […]

The pricing of the new Steam Controller has just been leaked by YouTuber Techy Talk, who uploaded a review of Valve's new device earlier. Some Internet user quickly downloaded it and reuploaded it on Streamable, which means we have access to information on the price and the reviewer's first impressions. The price is $99.

Their conclusion is that no single controller can be perfect for every use case, but for anyone wanting one device that handles both gaming and […]

Gang of Dragon, the new game by YAKUZA creator Toshihiro Nagoshi, might be in serious danger of being canceled. As spotted on Reddit, the official YouTube channel and trailers have been suddenly deleted. The Steam page is still up, though, the last flicker of hope that the game's development might continue. Gang of Dragon was unveiled just a few months ago, at The Game Awards 2025, but it was admittedly already in trouble. After his departure from SEGA in 2021, Nagoshi founded a new studio with NetEase's help the following year. However, in early 2025, reports began circulating that NetEase […]
