The future of ‘Welcome to Derry’ Season 2 seems secure. The first episode attracted a large audience, and the show’s creators have been hinting at progress for a while. In an interview with Deadline, executive producer Andy Muschietti shared more details, confirming the season will go back in time to 1935 and show the events of the Bradley Gang massacre in Derry.

Reliable Nintendo insider Nate the Hate is predicting the new Star Fox game will release in June 2026. In a recent post, Nate expressed strong confidence in this timeframe, suggesting the game will launch on the Switch 2 within the next two months.

Building on what they learned from the Steam Deck, Valve is planning a new Steam Machine designed for smooth 4K gaming at 60 frames per second, using technology called FSR in compatible games. However, hitting that performance level will likely depend on upscaling techniques and isn’t guaranteed for all titles. Valve’s goal is to simplify PC gaming and make it more similar to the experience you get on consoles. Here’s a breakdown of everything we currently know about the Steam Machine, including when it might be released, what features it will have, its specifications, potential price, and where you’ll be able to buy it.

“Do I understand the story of Metal Gear Solid?” he said. “Uh, basically, I do. Do I understand all of it? Absolutely not.” This was especially true while he was recording lines for the games, and he would even have to frequently ask the developers what some lines might mean. It is worth remembering that, in the past, games didn’t make use of motion capture for faces, which meant that voice acting work was often done in isolated booths.

However, the initial information wasn’t quite right.

While many consider Batman: The Animated Series a near-perfect take on the character, that’s precisely why a live-action version could be so successful. It’s been a long time since fans have seen a Batman TV show solely focused on the Dark Knight – the 1966 series was the last. Though shows like Birds of Prey, Gotham, and Gotham Knights have explored Gotham’s world of heroes and villains, none have centered entirely on Bruce Wayne’s mission to protect his city. Adapting the beloved Batman: The Animated Series into live-action would be a great addition to James Gunn’s new DC Universe.

Today, April 27th, marks the 33rd anniversary of Super Bomberman! Released in Japan in 1993 by Hudson Soft, this action maze game was a hit and launched the popular Bomberman series. Although it didn’t reach the United States until later that year, it first became available in Japan on this day.

The latest trailer for House of the Dragon Season 3 appears to show Helaena Targaryen in labor. While it’s not confirmed, this could signal the introduction of Prince Maelor Targaryen, Helaena and King Aegon II’s youngest son.
