Dead By Daylight Saw Tie-In DLC Gets Gruesome New Trailer
Behaviour Interactive is adding another chapter to its asymmetrical 4-v-1 multiplayer survival horror title, Dead by Daylight. Hot on the heels of Nightmare on Elmstreet's Freddy Krueger, and Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface, comes a Saw-themed map, survivor, and killer.
The new chapter introduces The Pig, detective David Tapp, and the Gideon Meat Plant. In case you hadn't pieced together their roles, The Pig is the new killer, and poor old David is the new survivor.
Sonic the Hedgehog’s New Ally Is Tangle the Lemur
Sonic the Hedgehog’s upcoming comic book series will be introducing a new character named Tangle, a ring-tailed lemur.
Check her out:
After over 300 issues at Archie Comics, IDW Publishing acquired the rights to make Sonic comics from Sega in 2017 and are rebooting the series with a fresh #1. Starting over from scratch gives IDW and series writer Ian Flynn the chance to shake things up and add new things to Sonic’s world, and Tangle is one of them.
“Before she even had a name, we knew we wanted her to be like a lot of other great Sonic characters and have a special ability tied to one of her features. Think Tails or Knuckles,” IDW associate editor David Mariotte told IGN in an email interview. “So, we were brainstorming animals who could do cool stuff and a ring-tailed lemur who could use her tail alternately like a whip or like a fist was too cool to pass up! Throw in her scrappiness, she likes to ‘tangle’ with bad guys, and you have an awesome character!”

Dark Universe Being ‘Reconfigured’ By Universal After Setbacks
Universal's Dark Universe franchise is set to be 'reconfigured', according to a writer who has stepped away from one of its lead projects.
Invisible Man writer Ed Soloman revealed to Digital Spy that he won't be working on the movie any longer, citing differences in vision.
"I think Universal and I had a different idea of what the movie was gonna be", he explained. "We began thinking that our notions would meld, and I should've listened more closely to what they really were wanting."
Solomon further noted that Universal is now working to change the Dark Universe in the wake of setbacks:
Persona Developer Could Be Making ‘PS4 High-End Action Game’
Atlus fans, rejoice! It looks like the Japanese developer of Persona 5 is brewing something new for PS4.
Spotted by Gematsu, a job advert titled "2D Concept Design / Key Animation Talents! PS4 High-End Action Game" appeared, posted by a "long-standing consumer game maker famous for its unique goddess (megami) and demon RPGs."
After a lot of chin rubbing and thoughtful moustache twirling, the consensus is that it's Atlus. If you want more proof, Setagaya is listed as the location, which happens to be where Atlus' office is based.
Shortly after the story was picked up, that ad was removed, along with a second one for a UI designer.

Cloverfield 3 May Premiere on Netflix
The third Cloverfield film may not see a traditional theatrical release, but instead premiere on Netflix.
According to TheWrap, "an individual with knowledge of the project" claims Paramount is in negotiations with Netflix for the streaming service to take over rights to the J.J. Abrams-produced movie in most territories.
