Shovel Knight gets free Battletoads DLC on PC
Battletoads are coming to the world of Shovel Knight for PC in this new free DLC.
Yacht Club Games have announced on the Shovel Knight steam page that Rare's Battletoads have been added to the game.
This mashup comes in the form of toads Rash, Zits, and Pimple being added as optional bosses to the PC version after being exclusive to Xbox One for over two years.
Players can access this new content after downloading the 3.3 update by entering a secret room inside the Hall of Champions. From there they can enter into optional brawl style battles with the trio.
Shovel Knight initially released in 2014 but has recently been added to the Nintendo Switch's line up in an amazing comprehensive edition.
Gore Verbinski to Direct Channing Tatum in Gambit
Gore Verbinski is in the process of finalising a deal to direct the upcoming solo Gambit movie.
Deadline reports than the director of three Pirates of the Caribbean films and The Ring will helm the film for Fox, the studio behind the movies in the X-Men franchise.
The film will star Channing Tatum as Gambit, aka Remy LeBeau. Gambit is a mutant who has the power to charge objects with kinetic energy, with his most notable weapon being playing cards. Gambit has not figured into the existing X-Men movies to a great degree, although Taylor Kitsch made a brief appearance as the character in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Inside Every Xbox One X Is a Master Chief Riding a Scorpion
The most powerful home console of all time hides a tiny, adorable secret inside.
On the circuit board of the Xbox One X is a tiny Master Chief perched on the back of a scorpion, a nod to both Xbox history and the Project Scorpio code name.
The art was first noticed by Spanish YouTube channel Unocero in a video breaking down the console. It's stamped right there, but it's not particularly big. Just cute.

Ubisoft Buying Back Its Own Stock to Prevent Vivendi Takeover
Ubisoft has announced a buy-back program in order to prevent French media conglomerate Vivendi from taking over the company.
The games company has granted a mandate which will allow it to buy back a total number of 4 million shares until December 29 2017. Once the shares have been repurchased they will be canceled by Ubisoft, which means they will have no value and cannot be reissued into the market.
Ubisoft heads Michel and Yves Guillemot have been fighting a potential takeover from Vivdendi for over a year after a hostile takeover bid was backed by Gameloft.

Death Wish: Bruce Willis Remake Release Pushed to 2018
MGM has delayed the release date for the upcoming Death Wish remake starring Bruce Willis.
Deadline reports the film, from director Eli Roth, will no longer be released on November 22 and is instead now hitting theaters March 2, 2018.
The reason for the delay is because of just how crowded Thanksgiving weekend has become for movie releases. Death Wish would have had to go up against the Pixar film Coco, Aaron Sorkin's crime drama Molly's Game starring Jessica Chastain, and horror film Polaroid.
With its new March 2 release date, Death Wish will open the same weekend as Jennifer Lawrence's espionage thriller Red Sparrow, action/drama film Alpha, and the comedy Game Night.
