Demeo is a virtual reality role-playing game created by Resolution Games, originally launched in 2021. It’s now available on PS5 and Steam, offering a captivating multiplayer experience that feels like a virtual tabletop game. Demeo uses cards to make gameplay flow smoothly. Now, Resolution Games is partnering with Wizards of the Coast to bring a new virtual RPG based on Dungeons & Dragons to life. Called Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, it will be released on November 20th. PC players can try a demo during the Steam Next Fest starting October 13th. I’ve played the demo’s two scenarios, and it’s the best virtual tabletop experience I’ve ever had – plus, the game acts as the Dungeon Master, letting everyone focus on playing a character.

As a huge TMNT fan, I’m really excited about the Page Punchers wave! Right now, we’ve got Donatello and Leonardo representing the Turtles, and Shredder and a Foot Soldier on the villain side, but trust me, that’s just the beginning. We can definitely expect more figures to join this collection soon. And it’s not just the figures themselves – they’re including awesome accessories, plus a special IDW comic with brand new artwork! It’s going to be an amazing addition to any collection.

The in-game map, called the Journeyer’s Chart, will now accurately direct players to the Keeper’s Shrine where they can get their first map. But the biggest improvements in this update are focused on performance. PC players will be happy to hear that it now supports AMD FSR 4, has better lighting when settings are low, and includes a Compatible Mode.

Rey’s journey in *Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker* ended with her adopting the Skywalker name, hinting at future stories. The short timeframe of the sequel trilogy – with each film following closely after the last – always suggested there was more to explore with her character. Given the limited time that passed between *The Force Awakens*, *The Last Jedi*, and *The Rise of Skywalker*, Rey’s story felt incomplete, and now she’s finally getting the additional adventures she deserves.

Loid is completely committed to his mission, and there’s a heartbreaking reason behind his determination to end the war. Many viewers suspect Loid is also an orphan, like Yor Forger, and the next episode will finally reveal his full history. Takuya Eguchi, the actor who voices Loid, has shared his insights on the backstory and how it will affect the audience.

As a huge fan, I’m always looking for games that capture that special *Metroid* feeling – you know, the one where you’re rewarded for exploring, things get tense and mysterious, and the worlds are just totally strange and immersive. That formula’s really popped up in a lot of games over the years! But these four, in particular, really nail what makes *Metroid* so great and will definitely keep us satisfied while we wait (impatiently!) for *Metroid Prime 4: Beyond* to finally come out.

Oscar Isaac, who played Moon Knight in the Marvel series, was asked by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) if he’ll be back for the upcoming *Avengers: Secret Wars* movie. Many fans have wondered why Moon Knight hasn’t appeared in other Marvel films and series since his Disney+ show ended in 2022, so a role in *Secret Wars* would be a fitting return. Isaac playfully avoided answering directly, responding with a laugh, “It’s a secret, you know?”

Game development often feels like a continuous process. After a year on PlayStation and PC, *Black Myth: Wukong* was recently released on Xbox. The developers say this wasn’t due to an exclusivity agreement, but because they were focused on making the game run well on Xbox Series X and S – especially the Series S, it seems. While many expected that to be the end of updates after the Xbox launch, the studio surprised everyone by announcing a new *Black Myth* game at Gamescom. Initially, people thought it would be a large expansion for *Wukong*, but that turned out not to be the case.
