What does the Elden Ring family tree look like? While Elden Ring is a FromSoftware game with game director Hidetaka Miyazaki at least in part making the big decisions, it's also a collaboration with Game of Thrones author George R.R. Martin. As such, there are lots of complex themes hidden within item descriptions and lore-filled records that give context to the characters we meet. We won't be focusing on the entire history of Elden Ring here, but there are some striking similarities: most notably an inter-familial connection spanning three different dynasties. If you want to make sense of the RPG game's overall story, as well as see how each of the Elden Ring bosses are related, then read on. Read the rest of the story...

The first trailer for Robert Eggers' Nosferatu is finally here, and it's looking like a real throwback to early 1900s horror. Eggers, best known for directing 2015's The Witch and 2019's The Lighthouse, has been working on a remake of the 1922 classic horror flick Nosferatu since around 2015, and yesterday after some hiccoughs here and there, the first teaser trailer for it arrived. The film has quite the stacked cast, as Eggers is once again reuniting with Willem Dafoe, who's portraying Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz, which is quite the title. Leading the film is Lily-Rose Depp as Ellen Hutter, a woman the titular Nosferatur is apparently obsessed with, while The Menu's Nicholas Hoult plays her husband, Thomas Hutter, a real estate agent whose latest client just so happens to also be the famous and centuries-old vampire. In the titular role is regular weirdo-player Bill Skarsgård, who you will have seen as Pennywise in the modern It films, and is set to star in the upcoming (and quite controversial) remake of The Crow. The rest of the cast includes some other big names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick ****), Ralph Ineson (Final Fantasy 16), and Emma Corrin (Deadpool & Wolverine). An official logline for the film explains that it's a "gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake," which certainly sounds like a horror film from the early 1900s.

***** is allegedly developing a remake of the original Jet Set Radio as a separate project to the officially announced franchise reboot, as screenshots and footage have appeared online. It's unclear if the leaks are genuine, but X/Twitter user @MSKAZZY69 shared four images of the alleged reboot, sourcing previously reliable ***** leaker Midori — though they were exposed to be a leaker called MysticDistance pretending to be someone else when they claimed to give up leaking information earlier in June 2024. The source of the screenshots are therefore hazy, as is a 32-second gameplay video which appears unlisted on YouTube channel @CrimsonMk3, but both show what looks like an updated version of the beloved Jet Set Radio. IGN has asked ***** for comment. A remake of the original Jet Set Radio is in the works at *****, it is a full remake of the Dreamcast game and it is not related to the F2P reboot. Source: Midori [Hidden Content] — Senhorita Kazzy (@MSKAZZY69) June 24, 2024 Three of the screenshots show protagonist Beat exploring Tokyo by grinding on rails and running across walls, while the fourth shows the World Map, which features locations such as Central, DennoCho Station, Neribei, SubCul, and South. The video shows what appears to be an in-development trailer for the game, again showing Beat traversing Tokyo while spraying graffiti, performing tricks, and more. This footage is incredibly similar, if not identical in places, to the "Next Generation" montage released by ***** when it announced the reboot alongside revivals of other classic franchises Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage in December 2023. This remake, if real, is allegedly separate from the reboot of Jet Set Radio, but it does tick a lot of the same boxes. The reboot is also likely open-world and brings the classic characters and gameplay to modern platforms. The original creators are also involved. ***** announced this reboot alongside revivals of other classic franchises Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Shinobi, and Streets of Rage in December 2023.

The developer of Palworld has said Nintendo is yet to make a complaint after The Pokémon Company said it intended to investigate amid the “Pokémon rip-off” claims earlier this year. Palworld, dubbed ‘Pokémon with Guns,’ launched in early access form in January 2024 on PC via Steam and on Xbox as a day-one Game Pass title. It saw enormous popularity overnight, becoming one of the biggest game launches of all time. But it’s also one of the most controversial. Developer Pocketpair has said its staff has received ****** threats amid the Pokémon "rip-off" claims, which it has denied. Soon after Palworld’s launch Nintendo moved quickly to remove an eye-catching Pokémon mod, then The Pokemon Company issued a statement, saying: "We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to Pokémon." At the time, IGN asked lawyers whether Nintendo could successfully sue. Now, speaking to Game File, Pocketpair boss Takuro Mizobe insisted it has yet to receive any complaint from Nintendo or The Pokémon Company, even after The Pokémon Company issued its statement that it intended to launch an investigation. “Nothing at all,” Mizobe said. “Nintendo and the Pokémon Company didn’t say anything to us. Of course I love Pokémon and respect it. I grew up with it, in my generation.” Despite this, fans continue to compare Palworld to Pokémon, and this week’s major new update, called Sakurajima, will no-doubt fuel those comparisons. Pocketpair has also teased Palworld on PlayStation, although a Nintendo Switch version sounds unlikely. IGN’s Palworld early access review returned an 8/10. We said: “Palworld may crib quite a bit from Pokémon’s homework, but deep survival mechanics and a hilarious attitude make it hard to put down – even in early access.” As much as possible, I try to avoid creating new things. It turns out that in 2010, then student developer Mizobe created a DS game while enrolled in a one-year Nintendo Game Seminar in Tokyo. Game File asked if he learned any lessons from working with Nintendo that stuck with him years later. “Kind of,” Mizobe replied, reportedly with a laugh. “I always think: to make new things is very hard. In game development, of course, sometimes we have to do it, but, as much as possible, I try to avoid creating new things.” Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.

While there were plenty of armchair lawyers and some actual lawyers who were convinced that Palworld would end up in hot water with Pokemon and Nintendo due to percieved similarities between its pals and, well, Pokemon, PocketPair's CEO has suggested that the studio is yet to recieve any formal indication of planned legal action from those parties. If you're out of the loop, back when Palworld had its initial surge in popularity in January, it attracted allegations that the models used for some of its creatures were close to being rip-offs of established Pokemon. Things even got as far as The Pokemon Company issuing a statement on the matter, asserting that it would "investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokemon". Well, according to PocketPair CEO Takuro Mizobe in an interview with Game File, nothing concrete in terms of legal communications or outreaches regarding Palworld potentially infriging on any Pokemon IP has been forthcoming from Nintendo or The Pokemon Company so far.

Since its September 2023 release, Counter-Strike 2 has been struggling with cheaters. Unfortunately, almost a year after its premiere, not much has changed, with MOUZ’s torzsi pointing out how bad it is. On June 24, MOUZ torzsi said the issue’s still the same with CS2’s Premier mode, with the high rankings flooded with hackers all the time. The player was a guest on the HLTV Confirmed talk show, where he was asked about the issue. He admitted he plays the Premier mode from time to time. While in his eyes the middle rankings around 15,000 points aren’t that bad, the high ones have cheaters in each game. View the full article
The Batman came out more than two years ago now, and now its own Alfred Pennyworth has shared when the sequel will be filming. Despite the hard reboot of the DCU, James Gunn has opted to let us hang on to Matt Reeves' take on the world of Batman, as a sequel to 2022's The Batman is still in the works. It was originally meant to arrive in 2025, but received a delay of a full year to October 2, 2026, meaning we've got to wait a further two years before we're able to check the sequel out. Pre-production generally seems to be underway for The Batman 2, though, and there's just been a little update from Andy Serkis, who plays Alfred Pennyworth in the first film, as to when we can expect filming to start for the sequel. As reported by Popverse, Serkis appeared at ACE Superhero Comic **** 2024, where he jokingly said "Well, there is a huge arc which you’ve got – nah, I’m not giving away anything." While he did take the chance to make a little goof, he did give a timeline when the cameras will start rolling: "Basically, I know nothing about the movie other than that I’ve just found out that we’re probably likely to be starting filming early next year. Therefore, if you do the math, it’ll be a year and a half after that. Read more View the full article
