  • Firebreak Falls Below 100 Players, Completing A Garry’s Mod Sequel Solving

    Firebreak Falls Below 100 Players, Completing A Garry’s Mod Sequel Solving

    FBC: Firebreak, a multiplayer spin-off of Control, has not performed well for Remedy Entertainment. Even though it gained over one million players in its first month thanks to Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus, it struggles to retain many of them.

    Currently, FBC has a peak of just 85 players in 24 hours on Steam, and that number has dropped into the double digits within three weeks. For context, PlayStation’s other shooter, Concord, took over a week to dip below 100 players. Players on the Steam Forums are already calling FBC a “Concord competitor.”

    FBC’s reviews aren’t too bad, with an average ‘Mixed’ rating on Steam. However, its player numbers have fallen so much that it now ranks 2,097 on the Steam top-sellers list. Surprisingly, S&Box, a spiritual successor to Garry’s Mod that hasn’t even been released yet, has more players. Its developer preview has reached a peak of 992 players and a 24-hour peak of 141, while FBC has trouble maintaining its numbers.

    FBC Is Now Barely In Steam’s Top 3,500 Games

    Recently, we noted that FBC had fallen out of Steam’s top 1,800 games, and the situation has only gotten worse. It is now ranked 3,462, trailing behind games like Nunholy and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted Scenes. Even a game called ‘Loot Box,’ which has ‘Mostly Negative’ reviews, is ahead of it.

    Remedy seems aware of FBC’s struggles. In a tweet celebrating one million players, they mentioned that “there is still a lot of work” to do. The current activity level of those players is unclear, as discussions on Steam Forums paint a grim picture.

    Players have shared frustrations about finding matches even with cross-platform play enabled. Many are calling FBC “officially dead.” Some had hoped for a “decent discount” during the Summer Sale to boost player numbers, but that did not happen. Rebuilding its community will be a challenge, especially when those remaining players cannot reliably find games.

  • Black Clover Returns With New Sequel After Four-Year Hiatus

    Black Clover Returns With New Sequel After Four-Year Hiatus

    Black Clover enthusiasts are in for an exciting surprise! Reports indicate that the beloved anime series will be returning with a new sequel after a four-year break, not counting the 2023 Netflix film, Sword of the Wizard King.

    The announcement was first made by Shueisha in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #32, igniting a wave of excitement on social media platforms such as X (previously Twitter), where fans eagerly expressed their enthusiasm.

    Speculations about the series’ return began with hints from the popular Japanese magazine, Jump Giga, which teased an upcoming revival through advertising. At that time, both Shueisha, the manga’s publisher, and Studio Pierrot, the animation studio behind the series, remained tight-lipped about the developments.

    Black Clover Confirmed for New Sequel After Four-Year Hiatus

    This popular anime series has captivated shonen fans despite its issues with production quality, pacing, and aspects of voice acting (particularly Asta’s voice in earlier episodes).

    What sets Black Clover apart from its peers in the genre is its thrilling fight choreography, rich world-building, and endearing characters, particularly those from the Black Bulls, including their captain, Yami.

    The forthcoming sequel is expected to adapt the Spade Kingdom Raid Arc from the manga, which many fans consider one of the standout arcs of the ongoing series, known for its intense battles.

    Fans hope that Studio Pierrot will approach Black Clover’s new season with the same care and attention to detail as was seen in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, rather than reverting to the traditional weekly episode format.

    A seasonal release strategy would allow animators the necessary time to create a truly remarkable product, alleviating the time constraints that affected the quality in the last installment.

  • Ariana Grande Shines in ‘Wicked: For Good’ Sequel with Glinda’s Return

    Ariana Grande Shines in ‘Wicked: For Good’ Sequel with Glinda’s Return

    Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Unite in Enchanting Sequel to Wicked

    Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set to captivate audiences once again in the highly anticipated sequel, Wicked: For Good. In this follow-up, Grande steps into the iconic role of Glinda, the Good Witch, while Erivo reprises her powerful portrayal of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.

    This new installment picks up after the pivotal moment when Elphaba and Glinda decide to part ways, diving into the years that follow their separation. Glinda has ascended to the status of a public figure, working under the Wizard’s rule, whereas Elphaba finds herself opposing the authority of Oz.

    The latest trailer reveals a poignant scene where Glinda gazes out from her balcony, a cracked window behind her, as Elphaba emerges from the shadows. Additionally, there are hints that Dorothy might play a more significant role in the film, diverging from her depiction in the original musical, although the actress cast for the part has yet to be disclosed.

    In a striking visual, Elphaba takes to the sky on her broomstick, inscribing the phrase “Our wizard lies” across the azure skies. This highlights the growing hostility against her, as depicted by an angry mob chasing her with torches.

    An emotional twist in the narrative sees Glinda sending Elphaba a heartfelt note, wishing her, “I hope you get what your heart desires.” The trailer culminates with Elphaba enthusiastically proclaiming her intent to "see the Wizard," taking off into the horizon alongside her winged companions.

    Director Jon M. Chu elaborates on the story, emphasizing that the sequel explores the ramifications of Glinda’s choices from the first film. He describes Elphaba’s journey as one of empowerment, especially as she seeks to distance herself from societal expectations.

    Based on Gregory Maguire’s renowned 1995 novel and inspired by the hit Broadway and West End musical, the Wicked films will be released in two parts. The second film is slated for release on November 21.

    Production faced interruptions due to the Hollywood actors’ strike, with filming conducted simultaneously at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire from December 2022 to January 2024.

    The original Wicked film garnered ten Oscar nominations, including Best Costume and Production Design, and became the highest-grossing movie in the UK in 2024. The first film closely mirrored its stage counterpart, lasting nearly two hours and forty minutes.

    Stay tuned for more updates on this enchanting journey as Grande and Erivo breathe life into these beloved characters once again!

  • The ’90s Return With The New I Know What You Did Last Summer

    The ’90s Return With The New I Know What You Did Last Summer

    The iconic slasher known from the ’90s is set to make a comeback in 2025 with I Know What You Did Last Summer.

    Sony has unveiled the first trailer for this sequel reboot of the 1997 classic. The premise mirrors that of the original, focusing on a group of five friends who find themselves embroiled in a deadly accident they desperately attempt to conceal. They agree to keep silent about the tragic incident, but one year later, someone reveals they know the truth and is out for revenge in an unforgiving way.

    With a killer wielding a hook on the prowl, the friends seek guidance from two survivors of the infamous Southport Massacre of 1997. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. reprise their original roles as Julie James and Ray Bronson, the lucky teens who escaped the clutches of the Fisherman killer.

    “You need to deal with this,” Bronson tells the authorities during a town meeting. “This isn’t the first time there’s been violence like this in Southport.”

    Julie poses a haunting question to one of their group: What did you do last summer?

    The cast of I Know What You Did Last Summer includes Madelyn Cline, Chase Sui Wonders, Jonah Hauer-King, Tyriq Withers, Sarah Pidgeon, Billy Campbell, Gabbriette Bechtel, Austin Nichols, Lola Tung, and Nicholas Alexander Chavez.

    Directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson, the film is based on a screenplay co-written by her, Leah McKendrick, and Sam Lansky. Robinson is known for her previous work on Netflix’s Do Revenge and co-writing Thor: Love and Thunder. Neal H. Moritz, who produced the original film, returns to produce this new installment.

    Kevin Williamson, fresh off the success of the 1996 hit Scream, wrote the screenplay for the original I Know What You Did Last Summer, which was adapted from Lois Duncan’s 1973 novel. The film featured Hewitt, Prinze, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Ryan Phillippe, earning over $125 million against a budget of $17 million.

    The franchise expanded with a sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, released in 1998, and a direct-to-video installment, I’ll Always Know What You Did Last Summer, in 2006.

    Mark your calendars: I Know What You Did Last Summer is scheduled for theatrical release on July 18.

  • Rick Dalton’s Comeback Leo’s Rumored Deal for Hollywood Sequel

    Rick Dalton’s Comeback Leo’s Rumored Deal for Hollywood Sequel

    Exciting News: A Sequel to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Is Happening!

    Earlier this month, the buzz of a sequel to Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood at Netflix made waves in the entertainment world, and thankfully, it’s no prank. Industry sources have confirmed that the sequel will be directed by David Fincher, featuring a script crafted by Quentin Tarantino. Brad Pitt is set to return to his acclaimed role as Cliff Booth.

    With Cliff back in the spotlight, fans are naturally curious about the fate of Rick Dalton. Will Leonardo DiCaprio reprise his role? Reports indicate that DiCaprio has been in discussions with Netflix, although it seems his return will be more akin to a cameo than a full-fledged part.

    DiCaprio, known for his hefty paychecks, usually commands between $20 to $30 million per film. His recent project, Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another, has reportedly netted him $20 million. However, for the OUATIH sequel, his compensation for a brief appearance won’t reach his standard fee but is still expected to be in the seven-figure range.

    In a recent episode of The Hot Mic, industry insider Jeff Sneider disclosed that DiCaprio is delaying his decision on the offer from Netflix, reportedly seeking a higher payday, which has caused frustration among Netflix executives, Fincher, and Pitt. According to Sneider, he was offered $3 million for just one day of filming.

    With filming anticipated to kick off by late summer, DiCaprio will need to make a decision soon, especially as he is eyeing future projects.

    According to Sean Fennessey from The Ringer, the sequel will be set in 1977 and will be framed more as The Further Adventures of Cliff Booth rather than a traditional sequel.

    The original Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, written and directed by Tarantino, explores the dynamic between an aging actor, Rick Dalton, and his stunt double, Cliff Booth, as they navigate Hollywood’s evolution. The film also weaves in the story of Rick’s neighbor, Sharon Tate (played by Margot Robbie), and the ramifications of the Manson family.

    The film earned over $392 million globally and received ten Academy Award nominations, taking home accolades for Best Supporting Actor (Pitt) and Best Production Design.

    As the excitement builds for this sequel, it remains to be seen how DiCaprio will fit into the project and what surprises lie ahead for fans of this iconic film.

    Rick Dalton’s Comeback Leo’s Potential Offer for Sequel

    This month, exciting news regarding a sequel to Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood emerged, sending shockwaves through social media. Thankfully, this isn’t just another viral hoax. Industry insiders later verified that David Fincher is set to direct the follow-up, with a screenplay penned by Quentin Tarantino, and Brad Pitt will be returning to his celebrated role as Cliff Booth.

    With Cliff Booth back in the spotlight, fans are now curious about the fate of Rick Dalton. Is Leonardo DiCaprio expected to reprise his role? Sources indicate that DiCaprio is in discussions with Netflix about a possible appearance, which may likely be more of a brief cameo than a full-fledged role.

    Among Hollywood’s highest earners, DiCaprio typically commands between $20 million and $30 million for his film roles. He earned $20 million for his part in Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming release One Battle After Another, which is scheduled for a September opening. For his potential brief stint in the OUATIH sequel, he won’t receive his usual hefty paycheck; however, his compensation will still exceed seven figures.

    During a recent episode of The Hot Mic, Jeff Sneider discussed the situation, revealing that negotiations have been slow, implying that DiCaprio is pushing for a higher fee. This has reportedly caused frustration for Netflix, Fincher, and Pitt. According to Sneider, DiCaprio has been offered $3 million for just one day of filming.

    As rumors circulate about a potential filming start date in late summer, DiCaprio will need to make a decision soon to align with his upcoming projects.

    As noted by Sean Fennessey, the upcoming sequel is set in 1977 and is more accurately described as The Further Adventures of Cliff Booth than as a direct continuation of the first film.

    The original film, which was both written and directed by Tarantino, explored the dynamic between an aging Rick Dalton and his stunt double, Cliff Booth, as they navigated the shifting landscape of Hollywood. It also featured the character of Sharon Tate (played by Margot Robbie) and delved into the influence of the Manson family.

    Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood achieved both critical and commercial success, grossing over $392 million globally and earning ten Oscar nominations, ultimately winning prizes for Best Supporting Actor (Pitt) and Best Production Design.

    Mortal Kombat 2: First Look At Johnny Cage

    One of the most iconic figures in action video games is set to make his debut in Mortal Kombat 2.

    On X, the official Mortal Kombat account unveiled a movie poster featuring Karl Urban from The Boys as Johnny Cage. The caption proclaims, “It’s Johnny ******* Cage. Mortal Kombat II – coming soon only in theaters.

    Johnny Cage, whose real name is Jonathan Carlton, is depicted as a Hollywood action star who enters the Mortal Kombat tournament to validate his fighting abilities to his critics. To everyone’s surprise, he achieves remarkable success in the tournament, emerging as a formidable warrior and protector of the Earthrealm. The poster serves as a tribute to his cinematic career, showcasing Cage in his signature sunglasses and leather jacket. It also promotes Cage’s upcoming film, Uncaged Fury, heralded as “from the studio that brought you Rebel Without a Cage.

    Johnny Cage quickly captured the hearts of fans. He was famously portrayed by Linden Ashby in the 1995 movie Mortal Kombat. Matt Mullins also brought the character to life in the 2010 fan-made short film Mortal Kombat: Rebirth and reprised the role in the first season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy, with Casper Van Dien stepping in for season two.

    Although Johnny Cage was absent from the 2021 rendition of Mortal Kombat, a nod to his character appeared at the film’s conclusion when Cole Young (played by Lewis Tan) encounters a poster of Cage while searching for new fighters to aid in defending Earthrealm.

  • Our Top Preview Of 2024’s Best Budget Smartphone Sequel

    Our Top Preview Of 2024’s Best Budget Smartphone Sequel

    Anticipation builds for the highly awaited OnePlus 13R, set to launch in early 2025. Recent leaks from tipster @MysteryLupin offer a glimpse of this successor to the OnePlus 12R.

    Rumored to share similarities with the OnePlus Ace 5, which is exclusive to China, the latest photos suggest that the upcoming model may not be released in the green and gold color schemes of its Chinese counterpart. Instead, we could expect options in black or dark gray.

    While it’s possible, as noted by TechRadar, that the tipster lacked images of the device in other hues, it’s worth mentioning that prior rumors pointed towards a launch in Nebular Noir and Astral Trail.

    A notable improvement from the OnePlus Ace 5 to the OnePlus 13R lies in its rear camera layout. The OnePlus 13R is expected to sport a triple-lens rear camera setup featuring a 50MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. Meanwhile, the front is likely to have a 16MP selfie camera. In contrast, the OnePlus Ace 5 comes with a 2MP macro camera in place of a telephoto lens, with its other lenses remaining the same.

    There could also be a slight variation in battery size between the two models. The OnePlus 13R is projected to feature a 6,000mAh battery, compared to the 6,415mAh battery found in the OnePlus Ace 5. The real-world implications of this size difference are currently unclear. For comparison, the OnePlus 12R has a 5,500mAh battery.

    The OnePlus 13R is anticipated to be officially unveiled to a global audience alongside the OnePlus 13 on January 7. Given that both predecessors have been well received as top Android phones of the previous year, excitement is mounting for their arrival.

  • Moonlighter’s 3D Sequel Arrives Next Year

    Moonlighter’s 3D Sequel Arrives Next Year

    Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault | Announcement Trailer

    Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault was unveiled during the recent PC Gaming Show. This sequel follows up on the beloved 2018 title Moonlighter, where players navigate the dual challenges of dungeon exploration and managing a shop.

    The original Moonlighter catapulted developer Digital Sun into the spotlight. Since then, the studio has contributed to titles like The Mageseeker: A League of Legends Story and Cataclismo, and now they are returning to their roots with support from 11 bit Studios, who also published the first game and are known for titles like Frostpunk 2. It seems that Moonlighter 2 will stay true to its predecessor’s essence while continuing the journey of Will, the lovable shopkeeper from the original.

    The most noticeable changes are the shift to 3D graphics instead of pixel art and a brand-new setting. In Moonlighter 2, Will must rebuild his business in the village of Tresna after it becomes ensnared in a “mysterious dimension.” Players will venture into Vaults to defeat enemies and acquire treasures to sell in Will’s shop, all while searching for a means to escape.

    Moonlighter, this sequel promises to bring back the engaging gameplay that made the first game a hit. Digital Sun CEO Javier Gimenez expressed in a press release that the studio aims to create “a game that’s not just better, but filled with even more charm in every detail.”

    Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is slated for release on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S in 2025. If you’re curious about additional updates from the PC Gaming Show, the creator of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds also introduced several new titles.







  • All We Know About Control 2

    All We Know About Control 2

    Alan Wake 2 is the title that truly tied together the Remedy universe, all beginning with Control. This game is set within The Oldest House, the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), where Jesse Faden steps into the role of the new director. Armed with a shape-shifting weapon and unique abilities, she battles the Hiss. A downloadable content (DLC) chapter established a connection with Alan Wake, and the upcoming DLC for Alan Wake 2 redirects the spotlight back on the FBC. The next entry in this eerie and supernatural saga, Control 2, promises to be distinct from any other titles in our list of anticipated games. While we anticipate some time until we uncover more about the world of altered items and objects of power, we’re grateful for titles like Civilization VII and Assassin’s Creed Shadows to keep us entertained. Nonetheless, nothing quite matches the unique thrill Control provided. Here’s what we know about Control 2.

    For those searching for the latest and greatest games coming to PS5, we’ve got you covered there as well.

    Release Speculation

    Jesse from Control stands against a red backdrop.
    Remedy Entertainment

    As it stands, there’s no official word on when Control 2 will be available. The title was officially revealed at the end of 2022 when it entered production. However, in October 2023, it was disclosed that the game remains in its “proof-of-concept” phase. Given this timeline, we might not see Control 2 until 2026 or later.

    Platforms

    Remedy Entertainment

    Since the release of Quantum Break, Remedy games have not been tied to any specific platform, and we don’t expect that to change with Control 2. Anticipate its availability on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, and there’s a possibility it could also land on the upcoming Switch 2.

    Trailers

    Remedy Entertainment

    No gameplay footage for Control 2 has been released so far. However, it seems Remedy is gearing up to reveal more about the game soon, given the frequency of their updates. What we play as, the setting, and the activities involved remain to be seen.

    Gameplay

    News from our Capital Markets day:

    🔦 Alan Wake 2 has sold over 1.8M units
    🔻 Control Ultimate Edition will release on Mac February 12th, 2025
    💥 Control 2 will be an action RPG
    🎁 Control will receive a free update in early 2025, unlocking some previously released content

    — Remedy Entertainment (@remedygames) November 19, 2024

    The definitive detail we have about Control 2’s gameplay is that it will follow the action RPG format, as disclosed by Remedy Entertainment. This aligns closely with the gameplay style of its predecessor. The development budget is set at approximately $52.9 million, which is modest in comparison to many modern titles but a notable increase from the first game’s $30 million budget.

    We can expect Control 2 to maintain its roots as a third-person shooter, featuring a variety of weapon options, psychic abilities, and skill progression systems. How Remedy plans to enhance these features or introduce new mechanics remains unclear.

    Preorder

    Details regarding preorders for Control 2 will not emerge until a definitive release date is announced. We will keep this article updated with any new information as soon as it becomes available.

    Josh Gad Talks About Spaceballs Sequel Script

    A man appears disturbed in Spaceballs.
    MGM

    Almost 40 years ago, Mel Brooks’ comedy Spaceballs premiered in cinemas, establishing itself as an iconic parody of the Star Wars franchise. Over the years, discussions regarding a sequel have circulated, but concrete plans only emerged recently when Josh Gad disclosed his involvement in a new Spaceballs film, working alongside Mel Brooks to write the script. Gad revealed that the first draft is complete, signaling a significant step forward for the anticipated sequel.

    “As much as I’d love to discuss the project further without MGM bringing me into their Hollywood facilities, I can confirm that the draft is finished,” Gad mentioned in a conversation with Forbes. “Everyone who has seen it has been impressed. Collaborating with Mel Brooks has been one of the highlights of my professional journey.”

    While Gad has not disclosed which character he might portray, speculation suggests he could play either Barf or his son. Despite being tight-lipped about specific plot elements, he expressed his enthusiasm for collaborating directly with Brooks on this project.

    “It’s a dream to bring to life the vision that Yogurt foresaw in the original film,” said Gad. “I wish I could share more, but every minute I have right now is devoted to pushing this project closer to completion. I truly believe we are nearing the finish line.”

    The original Spaceballs was released on June 24, 1987, which gives plenty of time to prepare for a potential sequel by the 40th anniversary in 2027, if not sooner. For now, the key question remains whether the project will progress through development stages successfully.

    20th Century Fox

    Fans of the Predator series can anticipate not just one, but two new films slated for release in 2025.

    In a recent discussion with The Hollywood Reporter, Steve Asbell, president of 20th Century Studios, outlined exciting future directions for the Predator franchise. One of the highlights includes a new project directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who was at the helm of Prey. Instead of pursuing a sequel, Trachtenberg has embarked on Predator: Badlands, featuring Elle Fanning.

    “After Prey became a hit, Dan [Trachtenberg] returned to us with a desire to create something different rather than a follow-up,” Asbell shared. “We asked him what direction he wanted to take, and he had a plethora of imaginative ideas. We ended up greenlighting two of them. One of these projects is a live-action Predator film starring Elle Fanning, which has recently completed filming in New Zealand. Audiences can look forward to seeing it in theaters next year.”

    A hidden second Predator movie

    This past week, Disney shifted its lineup, removing the release of Blade previously set for November 7, 2025, in favor of Predator: Badlands. The film, directed by Trachtenberg with a screenplay co-written by him and Patrick Aison, has been praised by Asbell. He revealed a surprising twist: Trachtenberg has secretly filmed another Predator movie that is set to debut before Badlands. However, details about this unexpected project remain under wraps.

    What follows Alien: Romulus?

    Alien: Romulus | Final Trailer

    Shifting focus, Asbell also touched upon the Alien franchise and the triumph of Alien: Romulus, which has amassed over $350 million globally this summer. Given the film’s box office success, conversations surrounding sequels are already in progress. Asbell confirmed that 20th Century is in the early stages of developing a follow-up and anticipates moving forward once a deal is finalized with Romulus director Fede Alvarez.

    “He [Alvarez] has a concept we’re currently refining,” Asbell explained. “The film’s two survivors, Rain and Andy, played by Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson, were standout characters. I often wonder about their next journey. We’re certain there will be aliens, and we expect thrilling horror sequences. But I genuinely want to explore what happens next for those two.”

    Alien: Romulus is currently available for digital purchase.
