While it was on the air, Game of Thrones was the most popular television series in the world. The show had an average viewership of over 32 million in its first seven seasons and in its eighth and final season, which concluded in 2019, it averaged 46 million across US platforms. The show is also the second-most awarded television series in Emmys history, so it only makes sense that HBO would use the show’s popularity and expand its universe. Audiences did not have to go too long without new Game of Thrones content, with the House of the Dragon spinoff debuting in August 2022.

Dragon returns for its second season on June 16, but it’s probably won’t be the last Game of Thrones property to reach your screens. Several other spinoffs…

For a lot of people, including myself, Kevin Conroy was the Batman. A lot of you might’ve known him from the Arkham Trilogy—I myself was first introduced to him via Justice League: Unlimited. He was the voice of Batman for over three decades before he died after a short battle with cancer in November last year, age 66.

As spotted by Eurogamer, a tribute has been added to the Batman: Arkham Trilogy, though it’s only presently confirmed to be on the Nintendo Switch version. Gamingbible editor Ewan Moore posted a screenshot of the tribute on Twitter, which reads: “In memory of Kevin Conroy.”

The Switch port (produced by studio Turn Me Up) has received widespread criticism for performance problems that range, as a Digital Foundry deep-dive states, from “unexpecte…

Content warning: This news story includes descriptions of sexual assault.

A user-created Overwatch 2 mode that simulates sexual assault reappeared in the game’s custom game browser, and for some, showed up as one of the most popular modes.

I verified that the unique code to play the mode was working yesterday and contacted Blizzard. The code no longer works as of today, but I haven’t heard back from Blizzard about what, if anything, it plans to do to prevent the mode from returning to Overwatch. 

“Sexual harassment simulator,” which is an updated version of the mode players found in October, tasks one player with impregnating the female heroes of Overwatch 2. As Cassidy, one player is instructed to knock heroes like Mercy to the ground and repeatedly crou…

The WW2 shooter United 1944 struck me as a potentially interesting twist on the genre when I first heard about it back in March. Shooting enemies and capturing control points are mixed with exploration, scavenging, and crafting: You start the game “literally with nothing,” and must dig up resources and plans so you can assemble weapons, fortifications, traps, and other items that will enable you to start fighting in earnest.

This weekend, you can see how all of that comes together yourself in an open playtest that’s now underway. Just pop around to Steam, click the “request access” button, and (hopefully) you’ll be off—developer Novarama said that requesting access doesn’t guarantee you’ll get in, but I got access right away.

The playtest will include an all-new map se…

Apple has emerged largely victorious in the latest round of a legal battle with Epic Games, which focuses on antitrust laws and the way the App Store is run. Epic’s suit, sparked by various shenanigans around the hugely popular Fortnite, says that Apple’s marketplace violates federal law by banning third parties from using their own payment platforms on the operating system: That is, it’s a monopoly.

The suit began in 2020 after Epic updated Fortnite on iOS with a payment workaround, which would bypass Apple’s usual 30% cut. In response, Apple promptly banned the app. Essentially this is all about the cut the platform-holder is taking from third party developers, and whether those developers should have the right to implement their own payment systems. The 2021 judgement in the ca…
