Sony Pictures has released four new character posters for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, including one for Michelle Williams' Anne Weying that teases the return of She-Venom.

The official @VenomMovie Twitter shared a new batch of posters, highlighting the duality of the characters in Andy Serkis' upcoming Venom sequel. The images spotlight the characters' symbiote-fuelled transformations, with portraits of Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock/Venom, Woody Harrelson's Cletus Kasady/Carnage, and Naomie Harris' Frances Barrison/Shriek.

Michelle Williams' Anne Weying also gets her own poster, featuring a silhouette that teases the return of She-Venom. The tagline in the tweet accompanying the poster also points to Williams officially suiting up as She-Venom in the sequel. "She's back in black," the tagline revealed. Take a closer look at her poster along with all of the others in our gallery below:

Williams previously spoke of her desire to have more screen time as She-Venom in Let There Be Carnage, having briefly spawned into her symbiotic counterpart in the 2018 movie. The actress said she hoped that she would be able to assume her alternate identity for "equal time" in the sequel to the blockbuster anti-hero superhero film.

Fortunately, we don't have too long to wait to find out. Venom: Let There Be Carnage was recently moved up on Sony's release calendar, with the PG-13 rated sequel now expected to hit theaters on October 1. Some fans are speculating that Venom might make another appearance this year too, in Spider-Man: No Way Home when it's released in December.

Nvidia has officially confirmed that the PC version of Deathloop has support for its Reflex software tech.

Nvidia notes that Reflex will benefit Deathloop's single-player experience as the software tech will reduce system latency by up to 40%. The tech does this by reducing the time it takes for your computer to process your input.

Nvidia Reflex is a toolkit that measures and reduces system latency. Unlike other Nvidia tech such as DLSS, Reflex does not require an RTX graphics card and supports older Nvidia cards, starting with the GTX 900 series or newer. Nvidia Reflex was released last year, and more than 20 games currently support the software tech, including Fortnite, Destiny 2, Splitgate, and the soon-to-be-released Battlefield 2042.

An interesting thing to note is that Nvidia Reflex is commonly implemented in competitive games. While Deathloop is not a competitive game like others on the list, the game does include an invasion mechanic. In this PvP multiplayer feature, players have the option to have their session invaded by another player controlling Juliana or join another session controlling the character. But, Nvidia also notes that the software tech will also benefit players that are playing the single-player mode, as you can disable human-controlled invasions.

While Relfex support is now available, Deathloop does not support Nvidia DLSS. The game does support FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), though, AMD's supersampling tech released last June.

Ahead of Deathloop's release last week, the game was met with critical acclaim, including IGN's 10/10 review score. Yet, the PC version has been criticized for stuttering issues. While players initially thought it had something to do with Denuvo Anti-Piracy software, it was later revealed by multiple sources, including Digital Foundry, that those stuttering issues are actually tied to framerates and mouse input controls.

Ahead of its September 21 launch, Kena: Bridge of Spirits developer Ember Labs has announced that the game will feature a photo mode.

Revealed in an article on the PlayStation Blog, Kena: Bridge of Spirits' photo mode will include one or two functions not typical of the more 'standard' versions of the feature seen in many games.

Instead of simply stopping time to allow players to take a quick freeze-frame of the action, Bridge of Spirits grants players the option to bring its characters to life as they look to set up the perfect snap. While moving the camera in photo mode, Kena and the game's other characters will keep their attention on you; readjusting their positions to cater for more personality-fueled intimate shots.

In addition, the photo mode also comes with its own "Cheese" function. Once you've pinned down your angle and you're ready to add another shot to the album, selecting the function will cause the characters in the photo to say "CHEESE" and strike a pose. According to Ember Labs, many characters in the game come with multiple poses, meaning that you can take various shots at any location within the game without it feeling repetitive and unmemorable.

Ember Labs producer, Thomas Varga, spoke a little further about why the team wanted to flesh out their photo mode for Kena: Bridge of Spirits. "Developing photo mode and the Cheese function were exciting animation opportunities for us," he said in the PlayStation Blog post. "Not only does this function introduce another entertaining element for players, it also allowed us to showcase character personalities as we developed each unique pose."

For more, make sure to check out our Kena: Bridge of Spirits preview, which looks at how the game looks to weave together features of different PlayStation hits like God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn to create an intriguing blend of Pixar-style animated combat and exploration.

With ghost hunting horror co-op game Phasmophobia having just had its first anniversary, developer Kinetic Games has celebrated the milestone achievement with the launch of a brand new update that adds a single-player mode to the game.

The update, which was revealed in a post on Phasmophobia's Steam update page, makes a number of changes to the game, ranging from small bug fixes to the more noteworthy addition of a solo mode. For those of you brave enough to tackle the game's many haunted locales without backup, the game's new single-player experience allows players to play Phasmophobia without connecting to its servers.

A number of other revisions were also made as part of the anniversary update. The journal has been overhauled and made easier to use, and now allowing players to cross off evidence found and change settings from the pages. Tweaks to contracts will now mean that the payout amount received for failing a level will be rewarded in terms of the level's selected difficulty, while failing a contract will now automatically show you what the ghost type was.

New fonts have also been added to the game for several languages with missing characters, and the VR mute button has been remapped as the pause button for all controllers. Ghost orbs that appear during some contracts will now periodically change position in the room that the ghost is inhabiting, and players will now no longer be able to see the D.O.T.S Projector ghost if they have been killed.

Kinetic Games also took the chance in the update post to thank its fans for their support toward the game. "It has been an amazing year for Kinetic Games and Phasmophobia and I would like to thank everyone for their amazing support," the post reads.

"Today, Phasmophobia is one of the highest rated games on Steam which is incredible and something I never imagined happening. It doesn't stop there either, we have many great updates planned for the future including this Halloween!"

While we wait to hear more about what lies ahead for Phasmo's upcoming Halloween update, players can head into the game's main menu area, which has received a party-themed anniversary redesign for fans to celebrate together in. If you're new to Phasmophobia, make sure to check out how the game uses audio to hunt its players.

Dune has officially made its international debut in theaters in 24 markets with total earnings of $36.8 million. Furthermore, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has not only reached $320 million overseas, but it has also secured a third-straight domestic box office win.

While Dune doesn't release in North America in theaters and on HBO Max until October 22, it is off to a promising start overseas as it has ranked #1 in "virtually all markets" it has appeared in. Additionally, it is "tracking +4% ahead of TENET, +33% ahead of BLACK WIDOW, +52% ahead of BLADERUNNER 2049, +58% ahead of SHANG-CHI and +80% ahead of GODZILLA VS. KONG."

Dune also broke pandemic-era box office records in IMAX theaters in 10 territories including Russia, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Ukraine, Hong Kong, and Singapore. These 142 IMAX screens accounted for "roughly 10% of the total weekend" and had a "$25k per screen average."

The 73rd Emmy Awards have arrived and the big winners of the night include The Crown, Ted Lasso, and Mare of Easttown.

The Crown, which was nominated for 63 Emmys, took home 21 awards and would have swept the major Drama categories had Lovecraft Country's Courtney B. Vance not won his award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series.

Ted Lasso was nominated 20 times and took home seven Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Lead Actor, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actress, Outstanding Sound Mixing, Outstanding Casting, and Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing.

Mare of Easttown earned 16 nominations this year and brought home four awards. Three of these came from Outstanding Supporting Actor, Outstanding Supporting Actress, and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series. Mare of Easttown lost to The Queen's Gambit in Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.

While they didn't win any of the major categories, Disney+ had a big year as The Mandalorian earned 14 Emmys and WandaVision won three. WandaVision didn't end up winning any awards at the Primetime Emmys, but its three Creative Arts Emmy Awards were Marvel Studios' first.
