Tenet, the several-times-delayed COVID-era cinematic boon for the languishing exhibitor industry, is set to premiere slightly earlier than its currently scheduled September release date—three days earlier, to be precise. With the film’s most recently-set premiere for September 3 now likely to come to fruition, Warner Bros. has announced that Tenet will hold early-access screenings in select U.S. cities on Monday, Aug. 31, Tuesday, Sept. 1 and Wednesday, Sept. 2. The move appears motivated by a desire to support theaters, which have been hemorrhaging ever since the March-launched lockdowns, and are indeed facing an unprecedented existential crisis....

Fans of the Anno strategy series are in for a real treat. Ubisoft has announced that a handful of older Anno titles will be getting a 4K remaster for PC very soon. Dubbed the Anno History Collection, this compilation package will include Anno 1602, 1503, 1701, and 1404 with reworked textures, UI elements, and modern operating system support. The awkward listing of those games is mainly because of Ubisoft’s strange historical shifting....

The PlayStation 2 is arguably the most influential console ever.

Of course, the PS2 also happened to support some of the very best games ever made....

In the world of trademarks, locking down the perfect title for an IP means filing the paperwork on a number of potential titles before someone else can lay claim to them. Square Enix is one company that files for trademarks on a fairly regular basis. The company took out a trademark on the name ‘Forspoken’ recently, which fans believe could be a Final Fantasy 14 expansion. Now, Square Enix has filed for a new trademark, but as to what it could mean is anyone’s guess....

Games based on movies are rarely popular, and in recent years, there haven’t really been many attempts made at any. But on the horizon are two new games based on movie characters, and based on these developer’s pedigree, it seems like these games might actually buck the trend. From IO Interactive is coming a James Bond game, currently under the working title “Project 007.” IO Interactive is most known for its work on the Hitman series, which has in recent years released two very well-received chapters, and from MachineGames is coming an Indiana Jones game....

The Last of Us 2 is a lot of things, as it has managed to harshly divide its fan base in more ways than one, but despite this many still hold a special place in their hearts for Ellie. This is made clear by this pixel art of Ellie created by _einzbern on Twitter. As the main protagonist of both The Last of Us and The Last of Us 2, it’s no wonder that Ellie gets as much attention as she does....

Trekkers rejoice! A new animated Star Trek show warps into CBS All Access subscription streaming service this August 6th. Nine more episodes will follow weekly on Thursdays (in the U.S.). Helmed by Mike McMahan, a writer/producer behind the insanely popular Rick and Morty, Star Trek: Lower Decks will introduce audiences to a class of ensigns rarely seen in any Star Trek medium – the unremarkable. Executive Producer Alex Kurtzman recalls McMahan’s series pitch: “I want to do a show about the people who put the yellow cartridge in the food replicator so a banana can come out the other end....

The Harry Potter series has one huge asset that it has yet to leverage to its fullest: its world. People have seen quite a bit of Hogwarts and Diagon Alley with the original films, and it’s true the Fantastic Beasts series has shown them other elements of the wizarding world as well. These stories are fine, but seem more focused at times with adding additional lore and exposition to the viewer’s pre-existing knowledge of the original films than anything else, especially in their focus on a younger Dumbledore and Grindelwald....

Stone is one of the most important resources in Stardew Valley. It is used to craft a whole bunch of recipes. This includes not only utensils but also decorative items as well as being needed to build other farm buildings. For example, most farm buildings require over 100 Stone and each staircase is 99 Stone. This means that if you want to build stone paths or stone fences the number will just keep increasing....

Valve’s Steam sales have been a pillar of PC gaming since the company started the storefront in 2003. While some might say the Steam sales of years ago tower over modern iterations, it’s inarguable that Steam has continued to grow partially due to these seasonal events. Steam’s most recent sale, the Autumn Sale 2020, ran from November 25 through December 1, and it was Valve’s “biggest-ever” sale in terms of revenue for developers and publishers....

2020 proved to a banner year for Steam for understandable, if unfortunate reasons. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has led to more people staying home and playing games. That leads to more PC gamers using Steam. Many predicted, however, that Steam’s usage would peak during the holidays while students and families had time off. That doesn’t appear to be accurate anymore, as Steam has once again broken its concurrent user record. It’s the third month in a row Steam has done so....
