The CW has announced that Riverdale will debut its seventh and final season during the midseason of 2023.

Riverdale was renewed for Season 7 in March, along with several other CW dramas, including The Flash, All American, Superman & Lois, Walker, Kung Fu, and Nancy Drew. However, that green light for another season wasn't indicative of Riverdale's future, as it turns out that the upcoming seventh season will actually be the show's last on the network, per TVLine.

"I am a big believer in attempting to give series that have had long runs an appropriate sendoff," said CW Chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz. "We had a long conversation with [exec producer] Roberto [Aguirre-Sacasa] yesterday, who is thrilled by this news, and we will treat the show in the manner it deserves... We want to make sure it goes out the right way.

"I think they, too, felt that seven years is the right amount," Pedowitz added. "As a fan myself, I do want to do what is right for the show."

The Archie Comics-inspired show is the latest series to have the axe fall down on it at The CW. The network previously cancelled Dynasty, Charmed, Naomi, 4400, In the Dark, and Roswell, New Mexico as well as DC's Batwoman, which was chopped after three seasons, and Legends of Tomorrow, which was cancelled after seven seasons and more than 100 episodes.

It is speculated that these cancellations tie into the network's rumored upcoming sale. It was reported in January that The CW was looking at "exploring strategic opportunities," including a potential sale of the business, as it has never been profitable and has primarily generated its revenue from licensing shows to international markets and streaming services.

Despite the report, The CW is still exploring new DC shows, having announced the development of Gotham Knights — which is also being adapted into a video game, though the upcoming television series isn't connected to that project. Instead, it will be based on the original DC comic books featuring characters created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.

Gearbox currently has nine AAA games in development as it continues to grow alongside its colossal owner Embracer Group.

The Borderlands creator has both developing and publishing wings, and while it's unclear where these nine games in development fall, it's certainly a lot more than the company has announced previously.

Gearbox's owner Embracer - who recently purchased three studio's from Square Enix along with the Tomb Raider and Deus Ex IPs - revealed the number during its latest financial results.

"Gearbox continues to scale the organization to deliver on its ambitious growth plan, and there are currently nine AAA games under development," it said.

We currently know of five games being published by Gearbox - Homeworld 3, Hyper Light Breaker, Relic Hunters Legends, Have a Nice Death, and Eyes in the Dark: The Curious Case of One Victoria Bloom - but despite the "AAA" term being slightly subjective, most people likely wouldn't refer to the latter two or three of these as AAA games.

We also know that Tales From The Borderlands 2 is on its way from Gearbox itself, but again, this smaller, narrative led game may not be considered a AAA title by some.

Embracer overall had a strong year with operating profits increasing by 17% and games such as Gearbox's Tiny Tina's Wonderlands performing better than expected.

Embracer said it "was well-received and reviewed by consumers and critics alike" (IGN said it was great) and "sales exceeded management's expectations".

Elsewhere, Embracer's latest release, Saber Interactive's Evil Dead: The Game, has sold 500,000 copies in just five days, making a good start for the Dead by Daylight-style asymetrical horror game. The company is also anticipating success with the upcoming Saints Row reboot from Deep Silver, which it says “is expected to step change the pace of organic growth”.

It's not all great news despite the overall sunny picture for Embracer. ELEX II “did not live up to management’s financial expectations in the quarter", but looking head the company expects the RPG from developer Piranha Bytes to provide "a positive ROI over time.”

If you're a fan of G.I. Joe collectibles but crave something a little larger and fancier than the traditional action figures, Diamond Select Toys has you covered. The company is adding iconic Cobra villain The Baroness to its growing lineup of G.I. Joe PVC dioramas.

IGN can exclusively reveal the first images and details for this impressive piece. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a closer look at Baroness and the previously announced, SDCC-exclusive version of Snake-Eyes.

The Baroness diorama features a classical take on the character as she leaps over the wreckage of a BAT android with guns blazing. The diorama was designed by Uriel Caton and sculpted by Sam Greenwell. It measures roughly 9 inches in height.

Preorders for The Baroness will open on Friday, May 20. The diorama is priced at $59.99 and is slated for a Winter 2022/2023 release.

As for Snake-Eyes, this new version of the original PVC diorama features a blue paint scheme designed to mimic the look of the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero animated series. This piece is one of Diamond Select's SDCC 2022 exclusive and is available to preorder now on the DST website.

The G.I. Joe franchise last hit the big screen with 2021's Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins, which earned a solid 7 in IGN's review. While Paramount has yet to officially greenlight a sequel, the film's ending and mid-credits scene certainly set the stage for a larger G.I. Joe cinematic universe.

After months of closed beta testing, Fortnite has officially exited beta testing on GeForce Now. This means all members of Nvidia's cloud gaming service can now stream the popular free-to-play Battle Royale on iOS and Android devices, previously it was available on PC via the native GeForce Now app.

Those interested in playing Fortnite on the service will need to sign up for a GeForce Now membership, which has three membership tiers to choose from: Free, Priority, and RTX 3080. Important to note that the Free tier for GeForce Now only allows a 1-hour session of play.

In comparison, Microsoft, which announced earlier in the month that Fortnite is available on Xbox Cloud Gaming, allows you to play as much as you'd like, and you don't even need to subscribe to the service. However, Android users opting to play via Xbox Cloud Gaming can only stream Fortnite through a web browser, rather than a dedicated app. GeForce Now subscribers with an Android device, on the other hand, can play Fortnite on the GeForce Now Android app.

If you have subscribed to the Priority or RTX 3080 tiers of GeForce Now, there are some incentives to stream this version over Xbox Cloud Gaming one. Most notably, RTX 3080 tier members of GeForce Now will have the option to render Fortnite at up to 120FPS, so long as you are streaming the game on Android devices that support 120Hz, such as the Google Pixel 6 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.

In January, Nvidia made Fortnite available on GeForce Now as a closed beta. According to the GPU maker, more than 500,000 people participated during beta testing, with over four million sessions streamed across hundreds of mobile devices.

Fortnite returning to mobile devices (sort of) helps circumvent the issue of playing the game on mobile devices following its removal from the App Store and Google Play in 2020.

eFootball's next update will be available on June 2 with an official mobile version launching the same day.

Announced on Konami's Twitter (below), version 1.1.0 will be the first update released for eFootball since its official launch in April.

Though Konami is still being vague on what's included, it did say the update will improve the win/loss decision-making in online matches, enhance server capacity, and set the foundations for compatibility between the console and new mobile versions of eFootball, among other things to be announced later.

About version 1.1.0 update for @play_eFootball pic.twitter.com/vvJT5iaNe4

— KONAMI UK (@KONAMIUK) May 19, 2022

The mobile game will be a re-launched version of eFootball PES 2021, now fitted with the full eFootball branding and compatibility with the new game.

Konami again said more details would follow soon, including which features and players will carry over from last year's game to the new version, and did make clear that support on some devices would be cancelled "due to changes in the required operating environment".

The April 1.0.0 update to eFootball that marked the game's full launch added a Dream Team mode and extensive gameplay changes, but still lacked several beloved PES modes including Master League, Team Play, Co-Op, Match Lobby, and Edit.

The update was the development team's attempt to "regain the trust" of players after a pretty disastrous pre-release version launched in October (that IGN said was awful).

The official release didn't improve a lot, however, as in our 4/10 review, IGN said: "Yes, at least eFootball 2022 does now have a fully-fledged mode to take it past the point of being a demo, but it’s still lacking so much more than you’d expect from a 1.0 version of a game."
