Assassin’s Creed Creator Still Plans to Make Amsterdam 1666
Assassin's Creed creator Patrice Desilets recently confirmed that he still plans on making Amsterdam 1666, a game that was originally started up at some point before 2012 under the now defunct THQ Montreal.
At Reboot Develop, VG247 asked Desilet if he plans on making Amsterdam 1666 at his studio, Panache Digital Games, that is currently working on a prehistoric survival game called Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey.
Borderlands 2 Modder Discovers Rainbow Rarity Guns
A Borderlands modder has found code for a whole new loot tier in the recently applied 4K patch for Borderlands 2.
CaptainKoby_, creator of Borderlands 2’s Reborn mod pack, posted his findings on Twitter (via PCGamesN). The new Rainbow tier of rarity doesn’t appear to upgrade a weapon’s damage output, but seems to tweak the appearance of the gun.
People: Gearbox didn't add anything new with the BL2 update

Hideo Kojima to Talk Death Stranding at Tribeca Film Festival This Month
Hideo Kojima and Norman Reedus will both be featured in a panel at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City that will be dedicated to Death Stranding and hosted by Geoff Keighley.
The panel will take place on Thursday, April 25 at 6pm ET and will run for 60 minutes. Kojima and Reedus will "discuss pushing the boundaries of the video game medium and talk about how their relationship has established over working on the title together."
Death Stranding was announced in 2016 at Sony's 2016 E3 press conference and will star, alongside The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen and Lea Seydoux.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey Preview
If the first few hours of Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey taught me anything, it’s that the fact humanity exists at all is basically a miracle. The third-person survival game from Panache Digital Games is set ten million years ago as you attempt to guide a clan of apes through survival in prehistoric Africa. The goal is to live long enough to pass knowledge down the generational line and recreate our evolution as a species. That’s a hell of a premise.
I was ready to birth civilization into existence as we know it. But fast forward to 45-minutes into my playthrough and the last fertile ape in my community has just bled to death in a soft bed of leaves – because I stupidly made him go to sleep with a gushing open wound – signaling the inevitable extinction of the clan and, with it, I guess, the human race. Sorry, everybody.
What Could Happen in Shazam 2, According to the Comics
Shazam! may have just hit theaters last week but plans for a sequel are already well underway with screenwriter Henry Gayden officially locked in to write the follow up, and director David F. Sandberg reportedly in talks to return as well. This isn't exactly surprising -- the way things were left in Shazam make it clear that Billy and his friends are anything but done with this whole superhero gig. And really, who could blame them?
But that leaves us wondering just what might happen in a second Shazam movie. Thankfully, the current comics have no shortage of clues.

Hellboy: Breaking Down How That Ending Could Set up a Sequel (Spoilers!)
With the Hellboy reboot now in its second weekend of release, let's explore how its ending sets up a sequel ... although judging from the movie's poor box office performance its opening weekend that now seems a remote possibility.
Full spoilers continue below for Hellboy! Check out IGN's review of Hellboy here.
The rebooted Hellboy may be pretty unfamiliar territory for fans of Del Toro's original duology -- not just because this new R-rated take on the character relishes in all the gore and profanity it can possibly fit into a 120-minute runtime, but because the ensemble cast around Hellboy himself has been dramatically shuffled around. Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien have been swapped out for Alice Monaghan and Ben Daimio -- at least, for now.

Scottish actor Iain Glen has been cast as Bruce Wayne for the season two return of DC’s Titans series. Glen is best known for his long stint as exiled knight Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones, though folks may also recognise him from his appearances in the Resident Evil film series, the Jack Taylor telemovies, and Cleverman.
“After decades of fighting crime as Batman, billionaire Bruce Wayne is just as driven to protect Gotham from evil as he was in his prime,” explains the official character description, via Deadline. “Needing to reconcile his relationship with Dick Grayson, the duo hope to forge a new dynamic as Bruce tries to help his former sidekick and the Titans achieve success.”
