Netflix and Tender Claws have announced Stranger Things VR, a new game set to be released on major VR platforms in Winter 2023 that will let you play as the villainous Vecna and "enact revenge on Eleven and Hawkins."

Stranger Things VR was revealed during the Stranger Things Day 2022 celebrations with a short teaser that features the ticking grandfather clock, demogorgons, and even an appearance by Eleven.

"Play as Vecna in this new Stranger Things adventure in VR," the official description reads. "Become an explorer of unknown realities as you form the hive mind and tame the void. Invade minds and conjure nightmares in your quest to enact revenge on Eleven and Hawkins. Stranger Things VR is a psychological horror/action game developed by Tender Claws and coming to major VR platforms in Winter 2023."

For those who may not know, Vecna was the big bad of Stranger Things 4, and you can check out our breakdown of the villain, the truth about Vecna, and Vecna actor Jamie Campbell Bower breaking down the big final moment from Season 4, Part 2.

Tender Claws has previously worked on such games as Virtual Virtual Reality 1 & 2, The Under Presents, Tempest, Tendar, and George in the Tub.

Stranger Things is no... well... stranger to the world of video games and VR as there has been Stranger Things: The VR Experience, multiple mobile games, a mobile and console game called Stranger Things 3: The Game, and even a canceled Stranger Things game from the now-defunct Telltale Games.

DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has taken to Twitter after seeing many tweets wishing for "#SaveLegendsofTomorrow" and "#ReleaseTheAyerCut," and wanted to share that, while the team is open to "everything as we embark on this journey," the initial focus of the studio is on "the story going forward, hammering out the new DCU, & telling the Biggest Story Ever Told across multiple films, television shows, & animated projects."

Gunn, who is sharing the CEO duties of DC Studios with producer Peter Safran, wanted to be open about the future of DC and the varying desires of so many fans around the world, including those who wish for the canceled Legends of Tomorrow to return or for DC to release The Ayer Cut of the original Suicide Squad, much like it did for The Snyder Cut of The Justice League.

"Opened up Twitter at the end of a long, creative weekend to see the many tweets to #SaveLegendsofTomorrow & #ReleaseTheAyerCut & fan support for other DC projects over the years. The majority of these requests were enthusiastic & respectful," Gunn said. "As the new (& first ever) CEOs of DC Studios, Peter & I think it’s important we acknowledge you, the fans, & let you know we hear your different desires for the pathways forward for DC."

Gunn has been pretty active and vocal on social media over the years, but this new position is obviously keeping him much busier than usual. Despite that, he wanted to give these fans an idea of where the studio's head is at and what its current mission is.

"Although our ability to interact on Twitter has been lessened due to the workload of our new positions, we are listening & open to everything as we embark on this journey, & will continue to do so for the next few years," Gunn said. "But all our initial focus is on the story going forward, hammering out the new DCU, & telling the Biggest Story Ever Told across multiple films, television shows, & animated projects. We invite all of the DC fandoms from across the multiverse — and everyone else as well — into this new universe. We can’t wait to reveal more."

Gunn is in charge of the creative side of DC Studios and Safran will handle the business side of the company. Gunn will still direct films as co-CEO, and the initial deal is expected to last at least four years.

After a confusing situation, Activision has decided to give all current and future owners of the Vault Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 10 hours of Double XP tokens and 10 hours of Double Weapon XP tokens.

The news was shared by Call of Duty's Twitter, and the team acknowledged the complaints by many online who thought they would be getting these 20 hours of XP tokens if they purchased the Vault Edition.

Originally, those tokens were meant only for players who purchased the Vault Edition from the in-game store of another Call of Duty game like Vanguard, Black Ops Cold War, Warzone, or Modern Warfare. However, there were many who assumed all Vault Edition owners would be getting these bonuses. Now, Activision has decided to clear up any confusion and gift all Vault Edition owners - current and future - the XP tokens.

"We understand there has been some confusion about an in-game-store exclusive reward for the Vault Edition," Call of Duty's Twitter wrote. "Therefore, we've decided to reward all players that currently own or purchase any version of the MWII Vault Edition with 10 hours of Double XP Tokens and 10 hours of Double Weapon XP Tokens. Current owners who have not already received the tokens should expect to see them in their account over the next 48 hours."

In addition to the XP tokens, the Vault Edition also includes the cross-gen bundle of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the Red Team 141 Operator Pack which includes Ghost, Soap, Farah, and Price Operators, the FJX Cinder (first-ever weapon vault), one Battle Pass season, and 50 tier skips.

If you already own Modern Warfare 2 and wish to upgrade to the Vault Edition, you can do so for $30.

In our review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer, we said that it "moves the formula forward with bigger maps and more customization without sacrificing its bulletproof mechanics."

In our review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's campaign, we said that it is a "lackluster follow-up to its refined predecessor, saved by its best-in-class shooting."

For more on Modern Warfare 2, check out the news that Call of Duty will remain on PlayStation "as long as there's a PlayStation to ship to," and that it had the biggest opening weekend in franchise history.

Sony's Gran Turismo film has added Academy Award-nominated actor Djimon Hounsou and Spice Girls' Geri Halliwell-Horner, who was known as Ginger Spice in the group, to the cast.

As reported by THR, Hounsou and Halliwell-Horner will be playing the parents of Archie Madekwe's character - a teenager and avid Gran Turismo player whose skills won him a series of Nissan competitions and helped turn him into a professional driver.

Hounsou earned Academy Award nominations for his work in In America and Blood Diamond, and he will soon be seen in Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon. Halliwell-Horner was part of the Spice Girls, the group that sold over 100 million albums and became the best-selling female group of all time. Her husband is a former racer and is now a principal of Red Bull's Formula One team. She is also an author.

It was also confirmed that Naomi's Daniel Puig, The Wheel of Time's Josha Stradowski, and Indiana Jones 5's Thomas Kretschman will also be part of the show which has begun filming in Hungary. Puig will be playing the teen's brother, Kretschmann will play his father, and Stradowski will be a rival driver.

Alongside Madekwe, it was previously confirmed that the Gran Turismo film would star David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, and Darren Barnett. Neill Blomkamp, the director behind such films as District 9 and Elysium, is directing the adaptation of the true story writen by American Sniper's Jason Hall and King Richard's Zach Baylin.

The story appears to be based on the story of Jann Mardenborough - a "British driver who began competing in events such as the F3 European Championship after winning the GT Academy reality show at 19 years old."

Harbour will be playing a former driver who taught the teenager what he needs to know in the world of racing and Bloom looks to be playing a "hungry" marketing executive who is selling the sport of motor racing.

The Gran Turismo film is set to race into theaters on August 11, 2023. If the wait is too long, be sure to check out our review of Gran Turismo 7, the latest game in the legendary racing franchise.

Andor creator Tony Gilroy has revealed not only that the second and final season of the Disney+ series will begin filming on November 21, but also that it would take us to Yavin on its way to connect with Rogue One.

Speaking to Collider, Gilroy confirmed Luthen Rael actor Stellan Skarsgård's words that Season 2 of Andor would begin production in the later part of 2022. Furthermore, he confirmed the team would be back to work the Monday before Thanksgiving, November 21, and that he would fly to London to be there for the first shot of the season and then return home to celebrate the holiday.

Gilroy also confirmed that Ariel Kleiman (The Resort, Yellowjackets), Janus Metz (Borg vs. McEnroe, True Detective), and Alonso Ruizpalacios (Outer Range, Narcos: Mexico) would be part of the directing crew and that the season would once again be split into blocks like this first one. Kleiman will get the bulk of the work with six episodes, and the other six will be split between Metz and Ruizpalacios.

Gilroy's brother Dan Gilroy and Beau Willimon will be returning to write on Season 2 alongside newcomer Tom Bissell who is, according to Gilroy, "a really cool and really, really interesting, versatile, really good writer. But also a very, very, very big Star Wars fan, which we really wanted to make sure we had another pro because we're going into Rogue [One]."

We were also given a bit of a tease for Season 2, as Gilroy confirmed we'd be headed to a very important place in that galaxy far, far away.

"... and we're going to Yavin, and then we're going into places where we eventually need to really weave our way back to the source. So Tom came in, and he's been great. So, he's got some episodes too," Gilroy said.

For those unfamiliar, the Yavin system, and specifically a moon in the system called Yavin 4, was a key location in the Galactic Civil War. The Battle of Yavin, which is also known as the Battle of the Death Star, was the battle in Episode IV where Luke Skywalker and the Rebel Alliance secured a huge victory over the Empire by destroying a Death Star.

Yavin 4 was also the home of the Rebel Alliance before its headquarters was moved to the snowy planet of Hoth.

It's previously been confirmed that Andor's first season would take place over one year and that its second season would cover the four years leading up to Rogue One. Season 2 will, much like Season 1, consist of 12 episodes.

For more, check out our review of Episode 9 of Andor and our look at how the series is the story of "how a revolution starts," how it brings a new level of maturity to Star Wars, and how it reveals the divided factions of the Rebel Alliance.

Aaron Carter, the singer behind the triple-platinum album 'Aaron's Party (Come and Get It) and the brother of Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter, has died at the age of 34.

As reported by THR and TMZ, Carter was found dead at his home in Lancaster, CA, on Saturday, November 5. TMZ's sources say his body was found in his bathtub.

Aaron Carter was born on December 7, 1987, in Tampa, FL, and his career got off to a quick start after he opened for Backstreet Boys in Berlin on a 1997 tour. A year later, he released his first album, 'Aaron Carter,' and achieved gold status (over one million sold) in Norway, Spain, Denmark, Canada, and Germany.

His second studio album, 'Aaron's Party (Come Get It)' was a mega-hit and sold more than three million copies in the U.S. alone and was certified triple-platinum by RIAA. The album featured such songs as 'I Want Candy,' 'Aaron's Party (Come Get It),' and 'That's How I Beat Shaq.'

The album would lead him to be an opening act for both Backstreet Boys and then Britney Spears on her Oops!... I Did It Again Tour.

He tried out an acting career and appeared in such shows as Lizzie McGuire, in the E! unscripted series House of Carters, and even on Broadway as JoJo the Who in Seussical the Musical. In 2009, he competed on ABC's Dancing With the Stars (he finished fifth) and, in 2012, on Food Network's Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off.

Carter had a few legal troubles, including a time in 2017 when he was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and marijuana charges. He also went to rehab numerous times and even spoke on The Doctors talk show to "set the record straight about his July [2017] arrest, drug abuse allegations, extreme weight loss, family issues, his sexuality and to hopefully gain a better understanding his health issues."

Aaron Carter is survived by his son, Prince.
