    PlayerUnknown Forms a New Studio

    So is it just called BattleGrounds now? Maybe BG?

    PlayerUnknown, also know as Brendan Greene, has parted ways with PUBG parent company Krafton and is venturing forth on his own. Greene's PlayerUnknown Productions is an independent studio based in Amsterdam. They are not quite totally free of Krafton though as that studio will still hold a minority stake in Greene's new venture.

    PlayerUnknown Productions was formed in 2021. Greene and his team are currently "exploring...

    Dead Space Remake Includes Stuff Like Graphics and Combat

    You know, I think this might just be a video game.

    EA Motive took to Twitch earlier today to talk about the ongoing development of the Dead Space remake. While the game is still super early in development, the team had a lot to talk about today when it came to what they hope to keep the same, what they hope to expand upon, and what they hope to introduce to the franchise.

    Windows 11 Dated for October 5

    Yeah, it's coming in hot.

    Microsoft announced that Windows 11 will be released on October 5. As expected, this new release will be available as a free upgrade for those who are using eligible Windows 10 PCs, or those that purchase new hardware with Windows 11 pre-installed. Though I suppose if you're buying new hardware, that doesn't make the Windows 11 upgrade "free" but I digress.

    As with most updates from Microsoft, the free upgrade will be released in phases....

    Three Images from Resident Evil Film Reboot

    The gang seems to be (almost) all here.

    Sony released the first look at the characters for the upcoming Resident Evil film reboot. This isn't exactly the first time we have seen glimpses of the film. Back in December 2020, the film wrapped principal photography and we didn't hear much about the movie until now. However, this is the first time we've been given a good look at the characters we've come to know and love and uh, well... here they are.
