The beloved game mode “VIP” from the hugely popular Halo game series is making a comeback in Halo Infinite, as revealed by 343 Industries this week. Originally presented in Halo 3, this mode hasn’t resurfaced since then, except for custom versions created by dedicated players. In Halo Infinite, the revived VIP gameplay will closely resemble its earlier iteration where teams compete to eliminate each other’s designated “VIP” member while safeguarding their own.

The remastered version of “Shadows of the Damned: Hella” by Grasshopper Manufacture, initially announced for a modern platform release over a year ago, now has a confirmed launch date. Previous updates on this project had been scarce; however, the timing for its arrival seems particularly opportune.

As a huge fan, I’m thrilled to share that “Inside Out 2” has surpassed “Frozen 2” at the global box office, bringing in an impressive $1.462 billion so far. This new milestone makes “Inside Out 2” the highest-grossing animated film of all time. Moreover, it propels the movie up the all-time box office chart, positioning it as the 13th-highest grossing film ever produced (and the 9th highest-grossing Disney production, surpassed by a few Marvel and Star Wars titles, plus James Cameron’s Avatar sequel). Released on June 14, “Inside Out 2” is one of only five Pixar movies to join the elite billion-dollar club, alongside Finding Dory, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4, and The Incredibles 2.

I’ve been thrilled to follow the career of Italian game design powerhouse Davide Soliani for years now. It’s hard to believe that after a remarkable 25-year tenure, he has decided to part ways with Ubisoft. During the last decade, Soliani spearheaded the development team at Ubisoft Milan, collaborating closely with Nintendo on the critically acclaimed “Mario + Rabbids” series. I’m looking forward to seeing what new projects this talented designer takes on next.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has seen some wild rises in popularity over the years. While fans wait to see whether the anime franchise will return to the small screen with a new season, the Joestars’ story is continuing to find new avenues to reach potential fans. In the past, we here at ComicBook have reported various athletes who wear their love of anime on their sleeves, sometimes quite literally. Now, in a recent LA Dodgers baseball game, one of the biggest stars of the Los Angeles team has let the world know that he is a big fan of Giorno Giovanna and the Golden Wind.

The anticipation for the “Borderlands” live-action movie has been building up for a long time, and now, its release date on August 9th is just around the corner. With only two weeks left, Lionsgate has unveiled a fresh trailer, providing another glimpse into director Eli Roth’s film. Much like the earlier preview, this one emphasizes the chemistry between the actors and the movie’s exhilarating action sequences. Although it maintains a similar tone to the initial trailer, for those who are still hesitant about the video game adaptation, this new trailer offers another opportunity to assess what they can expect from the movie.
