According to Bloomberg’s reports, it appears that BioShock 4 didn’t pass an internal evaluation at 2K Games due to concerns about its narrative and overall progress.

Based on the recent leak, it appears that content from “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard” will be integrated into “Dead by Daylight” in November. The characters expected to make an appearance are Jack Baker, Ethan, and Rose. It’s predicted that Jack Baker will be introduced as a Killer, while Ethan and Rose will function as Survivors. Some fans have expressed doubts due to Ethan’s face not being shown extensively, but others are excited about this prospect.
Among them, one character is undeniably Tomba from Whoopee Camp and Sony itself. This action-adventure game didn’t hit the west until 1998, but it initially launched in Japan in 1997. It was well-received, as shown by its 84 score on Game Rankings. Given the team behind it – primarily Tokuro Fujiwara, who established the studio following his groundbreaking work at Capcom – this isn’t all that unexpected. However, it didn’t sell particularly well, though it did gather enough support to warrant a sequel, Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return, which was approved and released in 1999.
According to TVGS, the Rival Cartel update was the winner of the player poll on June 15th, and they initially anticipated its release in late July.

The firm announced that these price adjustments are applicable solely in the U.S., a move they explained was driven by “market circumstances.” However, it’s not explicitly stated, but it seems plausible that the increase in prices could be linked to the tariffs enforced by the U.S. on imported goods.
Regarding the recent update, it reintroduces the Unlocked Classes function following the studio’s resolution of a bug causing classes to be unavailable in certain save files. Notably, character animations across the game have been enhanced, and adjustments have been made to the rewards for engaging in Player versus Player (PvP).

At last, enthusiasts can commence the much-anticipated second installment of Twisted Metal! The initial three episodes are now streaming on Peacock.

Starting August 5th, “South Park” will no longer be streamable on HBO Max or its add-on for Hulu. Instead, it will be centralized exclusively on Paramount+. This change will reunite both the main series and the specials that have been available only on Paramount+. The decision to move “South Park” to Paramount+ is thought to be one of the last steps before Paramount finalizes its merger deal with Skydance, which has been in progress for over a year. There were indications that the complex production, airing, and streaming agreements surrounding “South Park” had to be resolved, leading to a billion-dollar payment so that Paramount can fully own the show. However, new episodes of “South Park” will still premiere on Comedy Central, with them becoming available on Paramount+ the following day.
