Patrick Stewart has already been in a Marvel project, but most of his former colleagues from the X-Men haven’t. With Marvel planning to restart the X-Men series, this could be their final opportunity to play superheroes. However, a few of the mutants from the *Doomsday* movie might get another chance because they’re also appearing in the *Deadpool* franchise. Even so, the upcoming *Avengers* film could negatively impact how these characters are viewed, so it might be best if they don’t stay around for too long.

Adult Swim has launched several exciting new animated shows this year, and October will bring even more. One standout is *Haha, You Clowns*, which feels surprisingly different from other Adult Swim series, offering a surprisingly heartwarming vibe as seen in its trailer. Check out the trailer below to get a preview of this unique show.

In *Hades 2*, you’re ultimately working towards two major final battles. First, you’ll help Melinoe defeat Chronos and reclaim the Underworld. Then, her family will ask for your assistance with a separate conflict on Olympus. To see the complete ending, you need to beat both Chronos and conquer Olympus. However, defeating Chronos only once isn’t enough, as he’s an immortal Titan and will keep returning.

Sebastiano Serafini, creator of Serafini Productions, announced that “DON’T LIE” is a significant addition to the *BrokenLore* universe, offering a new and disturbing narrative. He expressed excitement about continuing the series and praised Wired Productions for consistently supporting innovative projects that tackle important social issues. Serafini hopes this partnership with Wired will help the *BrokenLore* series continue to expand and reach a wider audience.

According to Wired Productions managing director Leo Zullo, playing Task Time turns even the calmest people into wildly enthusiastic and competitive players. He says this is all the proof he needs that ReadGraves has created a fantastically fun and chaotic party game.

When we mentioned this to game director Koshi Nakanishi and producer Masato Kumazama at TGS, they both chuckled. Kumazama assured us they’d consider the feedback. When asked about rumors and whether they impacted Grace being the only playable character we knew of, he said they were pleased with how much interest the game was generating.

At Tokyo Game Show, director Cho Yonghee explained the reason for the game’s delay to The Gamer: perfecting the hacking system. He said it took a lot of experimentation and refinement to get it right. “It was a major factor – we went back and forth a lot just figuring out what felt good and worked best,” he explained.

As a long-time fan of the first *Outward*, I’m super excited about *Outward 2*. The developers at Nine Dots Studio have said they’re finally able to fully realize the game they originally envisioned – a really believable and immersive adventurer experience. They’ve kept what made the first game special, but they’ve seriously upgraded things like combat, how much you feel like you *are* your character, and the character creator. They started working on *Outward* way back in 2015 with a Kickstarter, and even with a small team, they created something amazing. They really listened to player feedback after the first game and delivered what we wanted with the DLC. Now, with *Outward 2*, they’re building on that foundation, staying true to the core vision players loved, but making everything – the graphics, the immersion, and especially the combat – much, much better.

Players will experience dynamic turn-based battles where they can manipulate time, link attacks, and cleverly outsmart opponents. The game introduces Rin, a ninja from the year 2400 with the power to create illusions and masterfully wield blades, disrupting the normal flow of combat. Players will also explore unique settings like Himmenheim, a prehistoric town where Vikings and dinosaurs coexist, and the gritty cyberpunk world of 2400 AD.

You can choose from two fighting styles: Dragon of Dojima and Ryukyu. While it’s not a huge selection, Dragon of Dojima has been completely updated and offers the most moves of any game in the series. Ryukyu style focuses on weapon combat, letting you quickly switch between weapons for powerful attacks inspired by Okinawan martial arts.
