Fans of the Marvel Universe are in for a treat! A new DLC for Marvel Cosmic Invasion is available today, adding Cyclops and the Thing as playable characters. These heroes bring fresh combat styles and exciting new gameplay. While details are still limited for the next DLC coming this fall – it will include new characters and a game mode – this current update is a must-try for anyone already playing, or thinking of picking up, Marvel Cosmic Invasion. It’s a great addition to the existing team!

Whether you prefer one style of game over another, it’s clear that modern gaming is leaning heavily towards a particular approach. This trend is so noticeable that a director working on the Final Fantasy VII remakes has commented on how player preferences are influencing game design. I’m concerned he’s right, as this could limit the possibilities for both types of games.

Capcom has consistently updated older games like Dead Rising, similar to how they’ve revitalized Resident Evil with successful remakes and continued new releases. While Capcom is happy to revisit popular franchises, they’re careful about which games get a second look. This is evident in the long wait for a new Devil May Cry game, even as they’ve recently created new experiences for series like Onimusha and Okami.

While DC Comics doesn’t have a character quite like Venom, if the alien symbiote appeared in the DC Universe, it would quickly attach itself to someone. Many heroes and villains would seek its power for their own purposes. Here are seven DC characters who would likely bond with the symbiote, creating some incredibly powerful combinations.

Darren Bridges, lead designer for Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, recently announced on the PlayStation Blog that the game will no longer receive updates. Although a new Raid mode was added in early April, featuring some of the game’s toughest bosses, Sucker Punch Productions is now focusing on other projects and won’t be adding any further content to Legends.

Due to its huge success, the studio is planning to create even more content, including a new fantasy anime movie. Called Witch on the Holy Night, the film is based on a popular visual novel by Type-Moon and will be released in Japan later this year. Although a specific release date hasn’t been announced, the studio recently revealed the three main characters.

If the game seems too challenging or not challenging enough for you, don’t worry! The developers, Rebel Wolves, have included plenty of difficulty options to customize your experience.

I was so hyped when they dropped that recap video last week! It was a perfect way to get us all ready for what’s about to happen – things really kick off with Episode 7. And then Omori, the author, left this amazing message after the episode aired. They talked about how, while writing this ‘Tower Arc,’ they remembered advice from a senior writer: that becoming a writer isn’t the finish line, it’s just the beginning! It was super inspiring, and they also thanked us all for watching and got us even more excited for the next episode. I can’t wait!

Poison Ivy first appeared in Batman #181, in a story called “Beware of—Poison Ivy!” written by Robert Kanigher and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff (credited as Bob Kane). The comic’s cover was created by the renowned Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson. Infantino and Kanigher envisioned Ivy as a new female villain in Gotham, determined to become the city’s top female criminal, and she immediately shows interest in both Bruce Wayne and Batman—at one point, she even comments on Bruce’s attractiveness while admiring Batman’s physique. This early story is a fun, over-the-top adventure, and the Poison Ivy presented in Batman #181 is quite different from the character fans know today. However, it’s an important issue that any Batman enthusiast would be thrilled to own.

I was so excited to hear that Batman: Arkham Knight is now part of Xbox’s Play Anywhere program! It’s awesome because now I can switch between playing on my Xbox and my PC without losing my progress. My game just picks up where I left off, which is super convenient. Honestly, I didn’t expect them to add an older game like Arkham Knight to the Play Anywhere list, but it’s a fantastic surprise and a really great move by Xbox. They’ve been pushing this Play Anywhere thing for a while, especially with new games, so it’s cool to see them include titles like this too.
