This week saw Fortnite targeted by SAG-AFTRA for its use of an AI-powered Darth Vader voice that mimics that of the late James Earl Jones. Also, the folks behind Assassin’s Creed Shadows told us why they opted not to let you kill animals in the open-world adventure, fans of Clair Obscur react to the trollish behavior…
The Mission: Impossible film series is, unlike most Hollywood franchises, built less around lore and callbacks and more around recurring moments we expect each time we sit down in our seats to watch the latest entry. I expect to see people in lifelike masks, some twists, some turns, a few dangerous stunts, a car or…
A PS Plus Extra, Premium day-one game that released in April is getting its final content update soon, its developer has announced. Dogubomb’s Blue Prince received universal acclaim upon launch, but its solo developer Tonda Ros says he never planned to “continually tinker with the game.”
PS Plus game Blue Prince will get its definitive version with update 1.10
In a post on Steam, Ros said that Blue Prince is his first game and he’s proud of what he’s achieved, but there are “a few minor things that were not quite completed” before the game’s launch, which will be included in the final content update 1.10 — the game’s definitive version.
Here’s an overview of what’s coming in Blue Prince’s final update, per Ros:
An overhyped arcade game
A curious house cat
Accessibility features including color assist mode, controls remapping, cursor size/opacity settings, and widescreen support
UI/UX improvements
More variations for end-of-day manor descriptions and accompanying house illustrations
HUD display customization
Final room/item balancing
Handful of extra cinematics
As for when update 1.10 will launch, Ros didn’t give a release date but did suggest that it’ll take a few months. “We will continue to release bug-fixing patches intermittently in the months leading up to 1.10 and some of these updates may preemptively roll out some of the above-mentioned features,” he wrote.
Ros also pledged to continue fixing Blue Prince’s bugs “far, far into the future.”

Bucky, AKA: The Winter Soldier, is one of the most powerful characters in Marvel Rivals, and he gets more powerful the better you play. If you believe in yourself and want to see how far skill can take you, Bucky is an incredible choice. He fits in virtually every team composition and has an incredibly well-rounded…
Developer Mercury Steam is perhaps best known for 2010’s Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and, more recently, Metroid Dread. The studio’s newest game, Blades of Fire, is a tough action-adventure RPG with Soulslike elements and a surprisingly in-depth weapon-forging mini-game.
We all know there is no Mission: Impossible without Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) ultimately saving the world from a nuclear disaster, a bombing, or anything some nutcase came up with that day. He is the central figure, one whom an entire universe revolves around. But, it would be a shame if you watched years of Mission:…
