Return of the Obra Dinn Arrives on Console This Month
After being announced last month, Return of the Obra Dinn has now set its arrival date for console ports.
Developer Lucas Pope posted on Twitter that the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch versions of the game will land on October 18. The date comes accompanied with a rather striking image in the game’s signature graphical style, showing the game being played on CRT TVs (not quite the right period, but close enough I guess).

New Batmonster and Harley Quinn Statues Coming From DC Collectibles
Two new statues from DC Collectibles are making their debut at New York Comic Con, but IGN has a preview for you ahead of the show.
The first is a new addition to the Batman: Black and White line called the Batmonster. Based on a design from artist Greg Capullo, it features Batman transformed into a horrific owl creature as seen on the cover of the New 52’s Batman #6, rendered in black and white. The disturbing image comes from the events of Issue #5 where the Court of Owls break Batman’s psyche to the point where he hallucinates that he’s turning into an owl himself.
Check out new figure and the art pages from Capullo on which it’s based:
The second new collectible we have for you is a new DC Cover Girls statue of Harley Quinn designed by artist Frank Cho. The DC Cover Girls showcases iconic DC women as depicted by iconic artists who have drawn the characters. It speaks to Harley Quinn’s popularity that she already has a DC Cover Girls figure in her classic getup by artist Joelle Jones and now she’s getting a second, unmasked rendition by Cho.
Why Matt Damon Turned Down Avatar: ‘I Couldn’t Do It’
Matt Damon has revealed that he turned down the lead role in James Cameron's Avatar in a decision that cost him millions.
During a recent interview with GQ, the actor admitted that he lost out on a small fortune after not taking the part of Jake Sully, a role which ultimately went to Clash of the Titans star Sam Worthington, who is set to return for the forthcoming sequels.
Ring Fit Adventure Preview: Come for the Workout, Stay for the RPG
I’ve been integrating Ring Fit Adventure into my daily life for just about a week now, and it’s kicking my butt. The fitness-RPG is no joke when it comes to challenging me, as someone who has been a regular gym rat for years though lapsed in recent time, leaving me in a sweaty but satisfied mess by the end of each session.
I want to spend more time with its fitness aspects before chiming in on its real longterm health applications. But I’ve been most intrigued by its simplistic RPG trappings, and how they do a great job of engaging me with its exercise elements.
7 Resident Evil Influences We’ve Found In Daymare: 1998
In July 2015, Italian indie developer Invader Games unveiled Resident Evil 2 Reborn, a short-lived fan project aiming to remake RE2 for a modern audience. A month later, Capcom officially announced the Resident Evil 2 remake and Reborn was dead. But from its ashes came Daymare: 1998, an original survival horror game that bears more than a passing resemblance to the original that kickstarted it all.
From HUNK to S.T.A.R.S., here are the seven Resident Evil influences we’ve found so far:
What a HUNK
Masked mystery HUNK has always been a favourite among Resident Evil fans, and this ruthless Umbrella agent is definitely the inspiration for Daymare’s Agent Liev. Both carry an MP5, are dressed entirely in black and their faces are covered by a rather sinister looking gas mask. Look familiar?

Disney Plus UK Release Date Announced
Disney Plus is set to launch this month on November 12, but only in certain countries around the world. Many territories are being left out of the steaming service’s debut, including the United Kingdom. So when is the Disney Plus UK release date? And how long will British Star Wars fans have to wait to watch The Mandalorian? The answers are finally here, but unfortunately the date is still months away.
Disney Plus UK release date
Disney Plus will be available in the UK on March 31. This is the date for several locations in Europe, including Germany, France, Italy, and Spain.
That puts Disney Plus' European roll out four and a half months behind the US and Canada, where the service launched on November 12. The announcement also notes that due to regional differences, certain titles may vary by territory. As such, it may be the case that the UK version of the streaming platform has different content or even fewer options compared to the US variant.
Secret The Division 2 Boss That Was Hidden For Months Has Been Found
A secret boss called "The Agony" has been discovered in The Division 2, but only after a developer dropped some hints on a livestream.
For two months no one has apparently been aware of The Agony's existence, a boss that had been added as part of the DC Outskirts: Expeditions DLC. Massive Entertainment developer Trick Dempsey was baffled by this after he googled to see if anyone had found it.
“I was just like: I don’t
a video guide for finding this dude,” Kotaku quotes him as saying in a State of the Game developer stream. “There’s just nothing.” In response, Dempsey started cryptically hinting that maybe players might want to "do some things" in an area of The Division 2's open world that is "a football field's length in which you are doing nothing."
