House Of The Dragon Season 2 Finale Clips Leak Online, HBO Responds

Just as it happened with the Season 1 finale, the Season 2 finale of House of the Dragon has leaked early. Numerous clips from the Season 2 finale--which is due to air this Sunday, August 2--have emerged on TikTok, spoiling how the sophomore season wraps up.

ComicBook.com said the clips appear to have been captured by someone recording from off-screen. The clips are said to have generated more than 100,000 views before they were removed. The videos are being reposted all over the internet, so anyone looking to avoid spoilers should be careful out there.

A spokesperson for HBO told The Hollywood Reporter that the company is aware of the leak, explaining that it stemmed from an "unintentional release from an international third-party distributor."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Microsoft Gaming Marks 500 Million Monthly Players, Notes Fallout TV Show's Impact On Game Pass

In its latest financial earnings call, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella celebrated a major milestone for the company's gaming division, reporting 500 million monthly active users across all platforms and devices. While the success has clearly been influenced by Microsoft's acquisition of Activision, the Fallout TV show also got a shoutout from Nadella for its influence.

The CEO talked up the success of Prime Video's live-action Fallout adaptation (via IGN) in his part of the presentation, saying the TV show was bringing Microsoft's IP to new audiences. Nadella revealed that player numbers for Fallout games on Game Pass had increased by five times compared to the previous quarter, with that increase attributable to the popular TV show.

We've already seen plenty of statistics on how the TV show, which has become Prime Video's second-most-watched title, has led to a renewed wave of interest in Fallout video games. Steam rankings saw huge boosts across multiple Fallout titles, while 2018's Fallout 76 is more popular on Steam than it's ever been.Continue Reading at GameSpot

College Football 25 Hit 5 Million Players In Its First Week

As the first entry in the franchise in over a decade, it's no surprise that EA Sports College Football 25 has been popular at launch, but new figures released by EA have revealed just how popular it's been. According to EA's quarterly financial results, CFB 25 saw over 5 million unique players in its first week.

EA's quarterly report for Q1 2025, which ended on June 30, encompasses what EA calls the "record-breaking launch of EA Sports College Football 25."

CFB 25 was drawing huge player numbers even before the game officially launched, with 2.2 million unique players logged during the game's four-day early-access period. That figure more than doubled in the first week after its full release on July 19, with 5 million unique players trying out the game--and that figure did not include an additional 500,000 players who checked it out via the EA Play trial.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Xbox Posts Massive Hardware Sales Decline, But It's Not All Bad News

The Xbox Series X and S will be four years old this year, and Microsoft's latest earnings call has revealed that its newest generation of consoles just aren't selling like they used to. While software and service sales have been strong, helped along by the massive Activision acquisition, hardware sales have seen a sharp decline.

In its Q4 earnings presentation for the 2024 fiscal year, Microsoft noted that its gaming hardware sales have decreased significantly, with a 42% decline compared to the same period last year. Despite this, the company's overall gaming revenue was up 44%, with a 61% increase in content and services revenue that Microsoft says was "slightly ahead of expectations." Both of these growth figures were positively impacted by the Activision purchase, Microsoft says.

The call also suggests that third-party content may not have performed as well as expected for Xbox in Q4, with Microsoft noting that "stronger-than-expected performance in first-party content was partially offset by third-party content performance."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Lady Deadpool Actress Reveals How Her Deadpool And Wolverine Cameo Happened

Almost as soon as Lady Deadpool appeared in the trailers for Deadpool and Wolverine, fans immediately began guessing who was behind the mask. Many of those guesses turned out to be correct. But what fans didn't realize is that the actress in question has a link to the creation of Lady Deadpool herself.

Warning: the following contains spoilers about the identity of Lady Deadpool's actress. If you haven't seen the movie or don't want to know who plays her, stop reading now.

Considering that Blake Lively is Ryan Reynolds' wife, she was the most-likely choice to be Lady Deadpool. Lively confirmed her cameo in a post on her Instagram account, where she went on to explain that artist Rob Liefeld came up with the Lady Deadpool character in 2010. She also shared a screenshot of Liefeld acknowledging her character on Gossip Girl as the inspiration for Deadpool's gender-swapped counterpart.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller Revealed, Preorders Open August 9

PlayStation and Team Asobi are gearing up for Astro Bot's release on September 6, which will give the quirky robot more planets to explore, more enemies to overcome, and a whole new set of skills to master. Considering Astro's Playroom served as a brilliant (and free!) demonstration of the DualSense Controller's unique features, it feels rather fitting that PlayStation has unveiled the Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense Controller. Taking design cues from Astro Bot, the striking gamepad will go up for preorder on August 9 ahead of its September 6 release.

Astro Bot Limited Edition DualSense



$80



Preorders will open on August 9 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET and will be available in limited quantities at select retailers. That means you'll want to set a calendar alert if you're looking to get your hands on the stylish controller, as there's a good chance it'll sell out fast. We'll update this article the moment preorders are available, so you can bookmark this page and circle back next week.

Along with a white and blue design, it features several accents and a pair of beady eyes staring out at you from the touchpad. See at PlayStation Blog

While it may boast a striking new design, this is your standard DualSense. That means you won't get back buttons or customizable components as you would on the DualSense Edge, but it has all of the hallmarks that make the DualSense such a cool controller: haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and a built-in microphone.

Preorders for the controller don't open until August 9, but preorders for the Astro Bot game are now available. You'll get some cool swag for reserving a copy ahead of time, including a bunch of in-game goodies and an adorable physical poster for your game room.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Dark Pictures Anthology Curator Tony Pankhurst Has Died

Supermassive Games has revealed that Tony Pankhurst has passed away recently at the age of 67. He was the face of the Curator in The Dark Pictures Anthology.

In a post on Twitter, Supermassive Games said, "We are all saddened to hear of Tony Pankhurst's passing. He was the face of The Curator, and we loved working with him." On a tribute page, his family stated that he passed away on May 9, and shared that he was an avid Briton Hove Albion FC football fan. The family is also open to donations to "Hospice in the Weald," to which Supermassive Games itself donated £200.

We are all saddened to hear of Tony Pankhurst's passing. He was the face of The Curator, and we loved working with him. 🤍 pic.twitter.com/ZZQbeViE8S — Supermassive Games (@SuperMGames) July 29, 2024

In The Dark Pictures Anthology, The Curator is the omniscient narrator in each of the games, often speaking to players about and reacting to what choices they made during their playthroughs. While Pankhurst's likeness was used for The Curator, the character's voice and motion-capture credits belong to actor Pip Torrens. Pankhurst portrayed The Curator in the live-action trailer for the series' House of Ashes entry.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Like A Dragon: Yakuza Casts House Of Ninjas Star As Its Tragic Villain

A live-action TV series based on Sega's Yakuza and Like a Dragon video games will begin airing on October 25, and at San Diego Comic-Con, more casting details for the show were revealed. Japanese actor and model Ryoma Takeuchi's casting as Kazuma Kiryu, the legendary Dragon of Dojima, was first revealed in June, and he'll be joined by Kento Kaku as Akira Nishikiyama.Kento Kaku in Netflix's House of Ninjas

In the Like a Dragon game series, Nishikiyama grew up with Kazuma in an orphanage and was one of his greatest allies before the events of the first Yakuza game. A complicated character, Nishikiyama murders the patriarch of the Dojima family, Sohei Dojima, to prevent him from sexually assaulting his close friend Yumi Sawamura in Yakuza. Kazuma would willingly take the blame for Dojima's murder and serve a 10-year jail sentence in his place, and upon his release, found that his sworn brother had radically changed in the last decade, putting the two on a collision course.

Kaku made his acting debut in 2007, and since then, has built up several credits in TV and film projects. His latest lead role is in House of Ninjas on Netflix, a series about a family of ninjas who used to work for the government and are descended from Hattori Hanzo, a legendary shinobi.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Is The Matrix Deckbuilding Game Real, Or Is It A Simulation?

There was a time when there were a few games based on The Matrix movies, and they were even pretty good at times. Today, while video game adaptations are tougher to come by (although you can be Neo or Trinity in Fortnite), fans shouldn't sleep on a tabletop opportunity to delve into the Matrix, with Upper Deck's Legendary Encounters: The Matrix deckbuilding game, available on Amazon. See at Amazon



If you're a tabletop or deckbuilding game fan but unfamiliar with the Legendary series, you're missing out. They're a series of cooperative games you can play solo or with friends where you battle against the deck, and they're constructed really well to capture the feeling of venturing into the licensed worlds they're trying to portray. The first Legendary game was a Marvel superheroes deckbuilder and has a ton of expansions, but I have the first Legendary Encounters, where the franchise expanded into movies with the Alien franchise. While that one seems to be out of print, the game manages to replicate the specific feel of the original Alien franchise, but with cards, and not only is it a fun and well-designed game, it's genuinely pretty tense for a game you play with cards.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Slashes A Power-Hungry Senator And Its Own Price In New GOG Deal

One of the best action games of the 2010s just got its price slashed almost in half, as you can pick up Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance for just $18 on GOG, until July 11. Like other GOG games, this is a DRM-free version of the classic Platinum Games adventure starring Raiden, and it comes with several other bonus features.Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance See on GOG

A spin-off from the Metal Gear Solid series, Metal Gear Rising follows Raiden, a cyborg ninja armed with a high-frequency sword, as he cuts a bloody path through anything that stands in his way. Unlike its source material, Metal Gear Rising tosses stealth out of a skyscraper window and goes all in on its premise of lightning-fast action. Over the last few years, the game has seen a resurgence in interest thanks to its polished action, killer soundtrack, and exciting boss fights.

This release also includes all the extra VR missions alongside the story expansions for Blade Wolf and Jetstream Sam. You'll also get all cosmetic armor sets for Raiden, including his White, Inferno, Commando, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Cyborg Ninja skins. Additionally, there are options to rewatch all of the game's cutscenes, listen to every codec conversation, and tweak the graphics.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Lego Jaws Set Revealed, Leaps Out Of Water August 6

Next year marks the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's Jaws, and if you're looking to celebrate the original blockbuster, this new Jaws Lego set is a must-have. Capturing the magic--or terror--of one of the pivotal scenes from the classic film, it's available now to preorder at The Lego Store and is priced at $150. It'll be available starting August 3 for Lego Insiders and it'll start stalking the wallets of everyone else on August 6. How do you know it's close by? Just keep an ear open for a relentless tuba tune in the background.Lego Ideas JawsGallery See at The Lego Store

Recreating the scene in Jaws where Quint, Chief Brody, and Hooper faced down the shark--AKA Bruce--from the deck of the Orca, this set has almost 1,500 pieces. The Orca looks like it sailed in straight from the film set and is full of authentic details, while the shark is massive and dwarfs the included minifigures. It has an unsettling number of teeth and enough space in its mouth to chow down on everything from a salty shark-hunter to an explosive oxygen tank.

You can display the shark on its own thanks to a buildable pedestal, or you can combine it with additional bricks and the Orca to create a very cool diorama piece. There's even an additional plate to attach to the display piece, referencing an iconic quote from Jaws.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Nintendo Sees Potential In Generative AI, But Won't Make Games Created "By Technology Alone"

Several video game companies have begun exploring how generative AI can help with the development process of their titles, but Nintendo isn't ready to embrace the technology just yet. When asked in a shareholder Q&A if the company had any initiatives in place to use AI, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa explained that AI could be used "in creative ways" but there were also "issues with intellectual property rights" to deal with.

"Generative AI, which is becoming a big topic recently, can be used in creative ways, but we recognize that it may also raise issues with intellectual property rights," Furukawa said. While Nintendo is open to "utilizing technological developments," it is currently relying on its experienced employees to develop unique games.

"We have decades of know-how in creating the best gaming experiences for our players. While we are open to utilizing technological developments, we will work to continue delivering value that is unique to Nintendo and cannot be created by technology alone," Furukawa said.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Hugh Jackman Discusses His 1999 Audition For Wolverine And Fearing He Would Not Get The Part

Hugh Jackman returns to play Wolverine once again in this month's Deadpool & Wolverine, but the career-defining role almost never materialized for the Australian actor. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jackman and Marvel boss Kevin Feige discussed Jackman's legacy as Wolverine, going back to their first meeting in 1999 and Jackman's first tryout for the role (and a steak dinner that followed).

The actor Dougray Scott was already signed on to play Wolverine in X-Men, but a commitment for Mission: Impossible 2 forced Scott to leave X-Men during filming (Scott would later say Tom Cruise forbade him from doing both films at the same time). This led to a last-minute recast for Wolverine, and that's where Jackman came in.

When Jackman came to Toronto for his own tryout for Wolverine, things didn't seem to go very well. He said he recalls reading lines for director Bryan Singer and writer Tom DeSanto. Jackman said it was a tense audition, held in the director's trailer during a lunch break. "I could tell he was like, 'Why on my lunch hour am I auditioning some guy for a part that I've already cast?' He was pissed off," Jackman said of DeSanto.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Iron Banner Returns In Destiny 2: The Final Shape--Here's Everything You Need To Know

The first Iron Banner of the post-Final Shape era has arrived in Destiny 2, bringing a fairly significant change to the formula for a PvP event Bungie has included in the game for the last 10 years. For the first time, the usually week-long event will now span two weeks. It also brings some reprised guns back for you to chase, complete with new perks.

While the Iron Banner is pretty straightforward--it's a 6-on-6 multiplayer event with its own set of rewards, reputation track, and Triumph seal--there are a few idiosyncrasies to keep in mind, particularly if you're new to Destiny 2 or haven't played in a while. Wearing and using Iron Banner gear offers some significant benefits, for example. Here's everything you need to know about Iron Banner, how it works, and how to make the most of your time earning weapons and Pinnacle rewards.Table of Contents [hide]
