Warner Bros. is going through massive restructuring as the company’s new CEO Jason Kilar looks to remove redundancies within the company. Not only are several Warner Bros. executives shifting positions or departing, but layoffs are expected soon, as well. One area of the company that appears to have avoided such cutes, however, is the gaming division Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. For now, the changes largely focus on Warner Bros. media efforts....

With BioShock Infinite approaching its eighth birthday, fans still have very little insight into the story or setting of BioShock 4. What is known, however, is that new studio Cloud Chamber will be tackling the project. However, while many developers from the first three games will be returning, series creator Ken Levine has moved on. At the end of last year, several Cloud Chamber job listings gave fans some insight into potential changes they might expect to see in BioShock 4....

The Sims may be one of the most beloved game franchises in the world, but it’s by no means perfect. It has its flaws, it has its quirks, and it has all manner of weird mechanics that players love to hate. Of course, even the most dedicated Simmers love to have a good laugh at the game’s expense every now and again - and that’s where comics and memes come in....

The following contains spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 2. The Umbrella Academy wears its influences on its sleeve. Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá’s original comic and the Netflix series it was adapted into pay a great debt to properties like X-Men, Doom Patrol, and even The Royal Tenenbaums. Now for its second season, The Umbrella Academy is even more devoted to Easter eggs, references, and many other real life and pop culture homages....

The following contains spoilers for The Walking Dead: World Beyond episode 1. Way back in the tenth episode of The Walking Dead’s sixth season, Paul Rovia a.k.a. Jesus (Tom Payne) made a promise to Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln). “You’re world’s about to get a whole lot bigger,” the Messianic-appearing figure said. And it did not take long for Jesus’s promise to bear fruit. Rick Grimes’s world did get bigger with the introduction of the Hilltop Colony, The Kingdom, Oceanside, and even The Sanctuary....

This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 1 Befitting any scripted drama that’s lasted 11 years filming in hot Georgia summers, The Walking Dead’s final season is a grand affair. AMC handed its flagship zombie drama a 24-episode order for its 11th and final season back in 2020. The only catch is that those 24 episodes will come in three 8-episode installments. That’s led to a somewhat difficult situation for the show’s marketing department, which now has to hype up the end of The Walking Dead no fewer than three times…and that’s not even counting the spinoffs....

Yennefer is one of the best-known characters from The Witcher series. She is the mother of Ciri, the girlfriend of Geralt, and one of the most powerful sorceresses. Many players speculate how Yen would react to a variety of situations, but what if she was brought to our worlds with all her powers. Yen isn’t a villain, so she wouldn’t go around just firing magic off as she please, and she would quickly have to find a way to blend into society....

The hugely popular Witcher 3 continues to print money for CD Projekt, the studio now listed as the most valuable video game company in Europe. The success of the game has led to all kinds of merch, and the latest is a cute looking figure of Yennefer.

The Witcher has been a hit in many formats including books, games, and now as a Netflix series. The Netflix series created a lot of interest in the franchise, and it quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched shows of 2019. Naturally, with a huge audience, many aspects of the show were repurposed for the entertainment of the community that supported it. One part of the show that has been frequently referenced and enjoyed is the song ‘Toss a Coin to Your Witcher’ which is sung by the character Jaskier....

Dark Souls isn’t a game known for hand-holding and daffodils, it’s a game for the hardest of the hardcore, and as shown in this latest trailer, it may even be too much for them to handle. The latest Dark Souls trailer, simply titled “Hardcore” is a collection of multiple deaths as a lone warrior fights against all manor of beasts and mythical creatures. Simply put, Dark Souls looks even more excruciating than it’s predecessor, and with an upped sense of scale to boot....

With the release of Destiny 2 just around the corner, gamers around the world are bracing themselves for the sequel to Bungie’s shooter. While some have been reading up on exactly what the developer has in store for players, such as keeping track of the Destiny 2 mission count, others have been turning things around in a more creative manner.

Wave Break, an upcoming Tony Hawk-inspired melting pot of ideas, looks like something that I might have come up with when I was 13-years-old. And I mean that in the best way possible. The game compiles the best aspects of many different genres, and it looks like it’s going to be a blast to play. Often times, it’s fairly easy to compare a new property to another game out there that might be more recognizable to a wider audience....

Since its announcement a decade ago, the Uncharted movie has gone through a number of major changes, delays, rewrites, and overhauls. Only recently, another in a long line of the film’s directors dropped out of the project, with the movie having to reshuffle all its parts once again in an effort to get the seemingly cursed production to finally begin filming. However, it appears another setback has come in the form of a massive delay for the film, with the production once again halted in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic....

This article contains spoilers for episode 6 of WandaVision. The fictional commercial in episode six of WandaVision is starkly different from the previous four in the series. It may offer a glimpse into Wanda’s psyche and the origins of Westview. The mystery surrounding Pietro’s appearance (if he is really who he says) is an indication that Wanda does not have total control over the production of her meta tv show. It is even more unclear if she has any control of the production of the various commercials of WandaVision....

The now-famous “Agatha All Along” scene has taken the internet by storm ever since the tune first appeared at the end of the seventh episode of the hit Disney Plus series WandaVision. Fans have been simply obsessed with the song, creating remixes and a lot of dancing Tik Tok videos, helping to place the song at the top of the charts on iTunes. Now, you can see it in everyone’s favorite pandemic video game: Animal Crossing: New Horizons....
