Boss Key Head Reveals Art for Unproduced Games After Studio Closure
In the wake of the studio's closure, Boss Key Productions head Cliff Bleszinski has revealed art from some of the unproduced games.
Bleszinski posted on his personal Twitter account outlining concepts for several games, including a PvE dragon riding game in a feudal-punk setting.
The never-to-be-released game was codenamed DragonFlies and players would take the role of a ninja or samurai living in airships who outfitted and used their dragons to face off against zombies.
DragonFlies would also allow players to find and hatch eggs to raise more dragon partners. According to Bleszinski it was meant to learn from the lackluster PlayStation 3 exclusive Lair, as well as the cancelled Scalebound.

Borderlands 3 E3 Speculation Potentially Shut Down
Gearbox Software CEO and co-founder Randy Pitchford has seemingly closed the door on the possibility of Borderlands 3 appearing at E3 2018.
In a string of tweets, Pitchford, a well-documented magic enthusiast, laid the groundwork for the implication that Borderlands 3 will skip E3 with a magic-related metaphor. He described a performer who practices feats both real ("like hammer a nail into his face") and fake (like a magic trick). "
once said (paraphrased), ‘When I make something vanish (which is a magic trick, and fake), people will swear that it is real. But when I eat a light bulb (which is not magic, and is real) people will swear that it is fake — a trick,’” said Pitchford.

Justice League: Henry Cavill on ‘Ridiculous’ Superman Marketing and Mustache
Henry Cavill spoke about Warner Bros.' "ridiculous" decision to keep Superman out of Justice League's marketing.
While speaking to Empire Magazine (via Batman-News), Cavill seemed to agree not having the Man of Steel in any of the film's trailers was strange, especially considering Cavill himself was doing press tours for the movie, which all but confirmed Superman was indeed in Justice League.
