So, the company that makes my console is doing its big summer livestream on June 2nd, and everyone’s saying it’s going to be huge! I’m super hyped to see what they announce.

The report indicates Bungie decided to stop supporting Destiny 2 earlier this year, but these discussions intensified after the release of Renegades. The expansion didn’t sell well, leading to debate about whether Bungie should move away from releasing two smaller expansions per year and return to its previous strategy of one large expansion with ongoing updates throughout the year.

Outright Games is developing a four-player party game that reminds me of Mario Party. However, this game focuses more on the individual minigames than the traditional board game aspects.

In a recent interview with Empire, Marvel and Sony executives revealed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will really emphasize the core aspects of the character. According to Marvel’s Kevin Feige, this film is the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to truly focus on classic Spider-Man themes – like Peter Parker living a modest life, monitoring police reports, and using his powers for good. Director Destin Daniel Cretton added that Peter is fully dedicated to being Spider-Man, even while dealing with personal sadness.

The bonus stems from Krafton’s 2021 acquisition of Unknown Worlds. The agreement included payments to the studio’s previous owners: $3.12 for every dollar earned, up to a total of $250 million, if Unknown Worlds generated $69.8 million in monthly revenue.

The first episode of Gameoverse premiered on Glitch’s YouTube channel on May 15th and quickly became a hit, exceeding 11 million views in just four days and reaching 20 million views in under two weeks. The launch sparked a huge wave of fan creations, memes, and conversations online, solidifying Gameoverse as a standout animated debut this year. Creator O’Donovan shared that working with Glitch helped him create the best version of the show possible, representing the culmination of over ten years of work.

When the game first came out, players found the controls too complicated. Pearl Abyss quickly added a simpler control option, and now they’ve taken it even further: you can now customize every button on your PS5 controller to do exactly what you want.

While promoting his film Spider-Noir, Nicolas Cage addressed questions about a potential role in the new season of True Detective. He stated he isn’t currently cast, explaining that discussions are ongoing but nothing is finalized. Cage expressed his admiration for showrunner Issa López and his willingness to work with her. He also admitted he hasn’t watched the first season of True Detective, though he’s heard positive reviews.

While it’s unexpected, we wonder if Valve is intentionally creating a sense of high demand for the console by limiting its availability. It’s possible we’re misinterpreting things, though – this recent release clearly sold out quickly, suggesting there’s plenty of interest.
