The creators of *The Sims 4* recently shared a plan for the next few months, focusing on fixing bugs and improving the game. They’re releasing a Base Game Update on September 18th, earlier than planned, to ensure everything runs smoothly before the *Adventure Awaits* expansion pack comes out on October 2nd. After that, EA wants players to share what they think are the most important issues to fix in the October and November updates. Overall, this plan seems to be exactly what *The Sims 4* community has been hoping for.

The *Alien* universe offers a lot of potential for video games, as fans discovered with the terrifying *Alien: Isolation*. Many games have tried to capture the feel of the *Alien* world, some focusing on pure horror like *Isolation*, while others took a more action-packed approach similar to James Cameron’s *Aliens*, such as *Alien: Colonial Marines* and *Alien vs. Predator*. Now, a new game is aiming to strike a balance between these two styles.

This downloadable content finishes up some loose ends from the main game and takes Naoe and Yasuke to a new island location for players to discover.

Looks like the latest PS5 update won’t download automatically – you’ll need to install it yourself through the Settings menu, according to Sony. This update includes a new Power Saver mode that reduces energy use by slightly lowering the console’s performance. There’s speculation this mode is also being prepared to support a future handheld PS6 device, though Sony hasn’t confirmed this.

Ivan Slovtsov, founder and game director of Fantastic Signals, announced they’re excited to share the result of three years of work and eager to get feedback from players during the upcoming Steam playtest. He described the game as a culmination of their passion for immersive worlds, compelling narratives, and gameplay that focuses on interesting systems.

I’m really excited about the latest update! It’s awesome that I can now easily register and switch my DualSense controller between all my PS5s and other devices. But what’s *really* cool is the new ‘Power Saver’ option. It’ll tweak the performance in some of my favorite games – like *Death Stranding 2: On the Beach*, *Demon’s Souls*, and *Ghost of Yotei* – to use less power, which is great! They’re already updating those games to work with it, and I can’t wait to try it out.

In a recent video, John Buckley, who leads communications and publishing for the game, discussed the plans for its final release. He explained that they’re focusing on more than just adding new features to *Palworld*; they also need to refine and improve the existing game, admitting it still has some rough edges in its core gameplay.

You can pre-order the Marvel Legends Daredevil: Born Again mask and billy club set starting today, September 16th, at 10am Pacific Time / 1pm Eastern Time. It will be available at Entertainment Earth and likely on Amazon for $139.99, with deliveries expected in Fall 2025. This is a good value because it’s a two-piece set – something we haven’t seen before in Marvel Legends roleplay items. Past releases, like the Green Goblin mask and Pumpkin Bomb, were sold as individual pieces.

Matt Reeves told *The Hollywood Reporter* at the 2025 Emmy Awards that he was thrilled to give Robert Pattinson the script for *The Batman: Part II*. He believed Pattinson would enjoy it, noting that the film explores Batman and Bruce Wayne in a completely new way. Reeves also emphasized the importance of keeping the plot details secret to build anticipation for what he describes as a complex and thrilling continuation of the Caped Crusader’s story.

What’s more, a playable demo is available to play right now.
