Set in the bustling streets of 9th-century Baghdad, Assassin’s Creed Mirage had fans buzzing with its increased focus on stealth and parkour-based gameplay, marking a return to roots for the franchise.

In fact, the title was supposed to be a simple Dlc expansion for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. In an interview, Creative Director Stéphane Boudon shared some insights into how a single PowerPoint slide turned into a standalone title. It brought the franchise back to its roots and gave long-time fans a nostalgic throwback of what made them fall in love with the franchise in the first place.

The next movie from Paul W.S. Anderson is titled In the Lost Lands and adapts “Game of Thrones” creator George R.R. Martin’s short story. Today brings a first look at Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista mid-battle and a release date.

Look for In the Lost Lands in theaters on February 28, 2025.

The story “centers on a queen who, desperate to fulfill her love, makes a daring play: she sends the powerful and feared sorceress Gray Alys (Mila Jovovich) to the ghostly wilderness of the Lost Lands in search of a magical power, where the sorceress and her guide, the drifter Boyce (Dave Bautista), must outwit and outfight man and demon.”

Anderson co-wrote the script with Constantin Werner. The director previously told Deadline, “With In the Lost Lands, we’ve created a movie with a completely unique visual style and storytelling that uses cutting-edge technology to bring the story to life like never before.

Sega's The House of the Dead arcade games have had their time on the silver screen in the past, specifically with director Uwe Boll's 2003 effort. Now it's time to take another shot with the announcement that Sega has tapped Resident Evil film series architect Paul W.S. Anderson to bring the games back to cinemas in a new motion picture project. Anderson will write and direct The House of the Dead , and will also produce alongside producing partner Jeremy Bolt.

Milla Jovovich is preparing to do battle with zombies again and will star with Betty Gabriel in Twilight Of The Dead, which Brad Anderson will direct and Roundtable Entertainment is producing in collaboration with the Romero estate. Fortitude International is kicking off sales at AFM.

Jovovich is the star of the Resident Evil franchise, and has also led films like Fifth Element and Monster Hunter. Gabriel’s credits include Get Out, while Anderson has directed films like Beirut, The Machinist and Transsiberian.

Twilight Of The Dead is scheduled to begin production in March 2025 and marks the culmination of Romero’s...

A good portion of Paul W.S. Anderson’s filmmaking career has consisted of video game adaptation, with his writing and/or directing credits including Mortal Kombat (1995), Monster Hunter, and six Resident Evil movies. Now, Deadline reports that Anderson is adding another video game adaptation to his filmography, as he is set to write and direct a film version of the Sega game The House of the Dead. Originally released in 1997, The House of the Dead spawned a franchise that includes several sequels and spin-offs, as well as a remake. Uwe Boll directed a film adaptation back in 2003, and that received a sequel in 2005 that was directed by Michael Hurst.

Paul W S Anderson is set to bring Sega’s The House Of The Dead to the big screen. More on the news and what he’s up to here.

Director Paul W S Anderson is heading back towards home ground for his film after next, as he’s signed up to write and direct a big screen take on the Sega videogame, The House Of The Dead.

Anderson will be joined by his producing partner Jeremy Bolt for the film, and the simple mechanics of The House Of The Dead give Anderson a fair amount to play with. The game gave you a gun, and suggested you aim it at the on-screen zombies, who came towards you at various speeds.

As an aside, there was a sort-of spin-off called The Typing Of The Dead, that remains the best piece of typing tuition software I’ve ever used.

If you've ever set foot in an arcade, then you'll probably have encountered The House Of The Dead, Sega's legendary light-gun shoot 'em up. Famed for bringing running zombies to the turn of the millennium and helping spawn the zombie horror gaming boom alongside Resident Evil, the mainline Hotd franchise has spanned five games — and two woeful movies — to date. But, per Deadline's reporting, the undead hordes are now preparing to run back to the big screen once again courtesy of game-to-screen veteran Paul W.S. Anderson, director of Mortal Kombat, Monster Hunter, a fistful of _Resident Evil_s, and of course Event Horizon.

Pitched as a real-time horror emulative of the experience of playing a House Of The Dead game, Anderson's movie — which the director will produce alongside longtime collaborator Jeremy Bolt — is set to follow the plot of the third game in the series. Speaking to Deadline,...

Over 20 years after Uwe Boll turned the video game The House of the Dead into a horror movie, Deadline reports that Paul W.S Anderson is making a House of the Dead movie of his own.

Paul W.S Anderson will write and direct the new adaptation of Sega’s zombie game, which debuted back in 1997 and spawned a franchise as well as a remake in 2022. That original game, along with Resident Evil, is credited for kickstarting the zombie resurgence of the time.

Deadline recaps, “In the arcade game, players take on the role of Ams agents, a government agency tasked with thwarting the conspiracies of organizations that threaten the world. The title comes from the bureau they work for, because their life expectancies are brief.”

“I’ve loved the video game since the nineties,” Anderson tells Deadline. “Back then I was a big player of video games in arcades, which...

Anderson will produce alongside his partner Jeremy Bolt, Sega’s Toru Nakahara will produce along with Story Kitchen’s Dmitri M. Johnson, Mike Goldberg and Dan Jevons. Timothy I. Stevenson will be executive producer.

Anderson and Bolt have brought several game franchises to the screen successfully, including Mortal Kombat, the Resident Evil franchise, and most recently Monster Hunter.

The House of the Dead debuted in 1996 as an “on-rails shooter” game, fast-paced action/horror with a groundbreaking zombie premise. That included the innovation of giving its undead villains the ability to run, something that inspired films from Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead remake and Marc Forster-directed World War Z. It was The House of the Dead that first evolved the flesh-eaters from the lumbering stumblers that...

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is Capcom’s latest IP, released in July 2024 on Xbox, PC, and PS5 to positive reviews. The game is a fresh take on the action-strategy genre as it combines real-time strategy and tower defense and blends it into a unique title.

Recently, new details about the game’s development were revealed by none other than Xbox’s Phil Spencer, shedding light on the process behind the game’s creation and release as he spoke at Gamescom 2024 about some of the future plans.

Capcom’s Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess was developed by the same team behind iconic titles like Resident Evil and Devil May Cry. The game, directed by Shuichi Kawata, took over four years to develop and drew significant inspiration from Japanese folklore.

Sure, not everything in the upcoming Monster Hunter game is brand new, but Capcom seems to have taken the franchise’s beloved formula and bent the rules enough to give us an installment that feels like a fresh experience that ultimately relies on its well-established base.

“Street Fighter” has landed a March 20, 2026 domestic release date from Sony. The film, from Legendary, is co-developed and produced with Japanese game distributor Capcom.

Legendary nabbed the film and television rights to the highly popular gaming series in 2023. Since the franchise launched in 1987, Street Fighter has sold over 49 million units worldwide, becoming one of the most well-known and highest-grossing video game franchises of all time.

It also spawned other games, spin-offs and crossovers featuring characters like Ryu, Ken, Chun-Li, Guile and M. Bison. Capcom is behind other popular games like “Resident Evil” and “Monster Hunter.”

This isn’t the first time “Street Fighter” has hit the big screen. Universal mounted an adaptation of the same name in 1994, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Kylie Minogue, Ming-Na Wen and Raul Julia. In 2009, 20th Century Fox released “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li” with Kristin Kreuk. Both projets were critical and commercial misfires.

Metaphor: ReFantazio is Atlus’ brand new IP. Atlus is well known for creating the Persona series, but now the studio is taking what it's learned over the past several decades to take a stab at the fantasy genre rather than the typical Japanese high school life. I went hands-on with Metaphor: ReFantazio at Summer Game Fest 2024, spending one hour split across three different self-contained portions of the game. Unsurprisingly, Metaphor: ReFantazio feels very familiar to Persona in terms of core gameplay loop, but it still manages to stand out in several ways in its story, gameplay mechanics, and characters.

Sony has added 14 new titles to its PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium game tiers. It is undoubtedly a strong lineup that comes with titles such as Crusader 3, Anno 1800, Football Manager 2024, and Far Cry 4, while nostalgia runs deep with classic titles like Ghosthunter and Daxter.

However, one game stands out when you look into the list, Monster Hunter: Rise. Released in 2021, if you haven’t played it until this point in time, now is a great moment to enter the series, as this one will prepare you for one of the biggest 2025 launches, Monster Hunter Wilds.

When Monster Hunter World was released in 2018, it took the ahem world by storm. Its immense popularity skyrocketed the series to new heights and sales figures, finally bringing it to the mainstream spotlight. Now, almost seven years later, Capcom is following up lofty expectations with Monster Hunter Wilds . I was able to catch a 30-minute hands off demo of the game, and it looks like a worthy successor that builds upon the solid foundation set by World . Monster Hunter Wilds primarily takes place in a desert area, a contrast to World ’s lush and grassy areas, as well as the icy tundras from its expansion, Iceborne . However, even though the land is dry, there’s just as much abundance of life as ever.

Capcom’s upcoming title in the Monster Hunter franchise, Monster Hunter Wilds, was announced back in 2023 at the Game Awards with a brief trailer, but nothing more was known about it. The latest PlayStation State of Play event has now shared some more exciting details about the game.

The developer shared a new trailer, giving fans a fresh look at the game, and it looks absolutely phenomenal. The fans are going bonkers after everything they will be getting in the game, and it looks like, after Dragon’s Dogma 2‘s success, Capcom has got another money-making machine.

Max Payne is a very popular and beloved video game series that is known for its innovative gameplay and good story. The game’s protagonist was a former NYPD detective, who turned into a vigilante after the brutal murder of his family.

In 2008, Max Payne got a movie adaptation which was highly anticipated as the game’s story was captivating and fans always thought it was made for the big screen. But the movie didn’t perform very well and most fans think that’s the case because Mark Wahlberg was picked as the protagonist.

Mark Wahlberg is a great actor and can draw people to the theater but many fans thought that Wahlberg’s depiction of Max Payne was very poor. His portrayal lacked the depth and intensity that the character showed in video games.

Leading producer Martin Moszkowicz, who recently moved away from his role as CEO of German giant Constantin to focus on producing, was honored with the Carl Laemmle Producer Award in Laupheim for his multifaceted and extensive work as a filmmaker and producer.

One of the best parts of the Helldivers 2 community is the way that the developers are always listening to the requests of the community. This means that players can sometimes request a feature to be looked at for a future update, but sadly, that doesn’t mean it is guaranteed to make its way.

However, for the creative side of the Helldivers 2 community, there is some potential good news, according to Johan Pilestedt, there is the possibility that competitions may be a feature that could come into the community, which will allow players to design their own items to put into the game, but sadly, this could take some time and has a few issues ahead of it.

Community Competitions Could One Day Make Their Way to Helldivers 2 Community competitions could one day make their way to Helldivers 2.

Helldivers 2 is famous for being directed by its community, whether it be...

Back in 2010, the video game industry was starting to enter a phase where developers (old and new alike) tried new platforms to test their creative freedom. Hideo Kojima was no different, and he took the PSP’s potential to actualize an experiment that would mean a lot of things.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker was an entry that not only brought him some time while the team tested new things but also ‘accidentally‘ made for one of the most unique games to have come out on the little beast; the PlayStation Portable. There’s more to this story than we may have imagined.

Hideo Kojima’s Attempt at Bringing in a Younger Audience With a clever blend of stealth and gunplay, this game went above and beyond expectations.

In a tweet shared by Hideo Kojima recently, fans have learned the backstory of one of the most unique Metal Gear Solid games in history.

Dragon’s Dogma’s creative breakthrough—as a series, since much of what the sequel does was introduced in the 2012 original—is that it conceives of the RPG adventure not as a string of combat encounters or dialogue decisions, but as often arduous traveling through dangerous, unpredictable lands—with all the planning, consequences, and improvisation that entails. This angle is so daring and unusual that Dragon’s Dogma 2, which once again sees you set out as the chosen Arisen on a quest to slay the mighty Dragon (or at least it seems that simple at first), somehow feels unlike anything else that’s been released since the first game.

The loop of the game is in many ways similar to that of other action RPGs. Quests send you out into the wilderness to complete tasks and fight monsters before having you return to town to buy equipment and learn skills. This is a familiar rhythm,...
