Phantom Dust Free on Xbox One and Windows 10 Tomorrow
The re-release of card battle RPG arena fighter, Phantom Dust, will launch tomorrow for free on Xbox One and Windows 10.
In a tweet, the Head of Xbox games marketing Aaron Greenberg announced that the fan favourite would be available at no cost and exclusively as an Xbox Play Anywhere title on Microsoft's platforms.
News of the re-release first broke during last year's E3 conference and boasted that the game would use the original assets but now support the current ecosystem of Xbox Live.
Additionally, earlier this month we were able to confirm some of the changes coming to this version of the game, including visual upgrades and updates to the single-player campaign which allow players to skip missions after failing them 3 times.
Johnson on Future of G.I. Joe Movie Franchise
Dwayne Johnson has a few thoughts on where the G.I. Joe movie franchise should head next.
In an interview with CinemaBlend, Johnson revealed he has talked with Paramount about the series' future and that he believes the studio should create a shared cinematic universe with other Hasbro properties, including Transformers and M.A.S.K.
"Now, we've made two G.I. Joes," said Johnson. "What they can do is phenomenal, right? When you think about M.A.S.K., and you think about G.I. Joe, and you think about the world that they can build out."
However, Johnson isn't ready to fully commit to reprising his role as Roadblock, who first appeared in the second G.I. Joe movie, 2013's Retaliation. "I loved working in that movie and the franchise, and if I didn't do it again, I'm great with them, and I wish them the best of luck," said Johnson. "But I do hope they build it out really nicely, and I think they can."
The Purge TV Show to Explore Life on Non-Purge Nights
The upcoming Purge TV series will focus on what life is like on non-purge nights.
Series creator James DeMonaco revealed, during NBC's upfront presentation (via Entertainment Weekly), that the series will show how this purge law affects America during the other "normal" 364 days of the year. DeMonaco believes this idea can't be properly pulled off in a 95-minute Purge movie.
"What’s great about Purge TV is that the ten hours they’ll be giving us, it allows us to explore character, why someone on this night would do something so heinous as pick up a gun or a knife and do something," said DeMonaco .
