A new Blade Runner anime series called Blade Runner — Black Lotus is on the way to Adult Swim and Crunchyroll, the two companies announced on Thursday morning. The series will be “inspired by” Blade Runner 2049, though it appears that it will follow another separate story in the larger Blade Runner universe as the series will take place in the year 2032 — 13 years after the original movie. It’s unclear exactly what characters the series might focus on, but according to a press release the series

If the sartorial stylings of Red Dead Redemption 2 have you feeling inspired to update your real-life wardrobe, a new clothing line inspired by Rockstar Games’ Wild West adventure is now available from New York-based label Barking Irons. Barking Irons’ Red Dead Redemption 2 line consists of a handful of clothing staples that draw inspiration from protagonist Arthur Morgan. For example, there’s a waxed cotton Gunslinger’s Jacket ($250, pictured above) that’s printed with Arthur’s name in the coll

Netflix’s Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle is stuffed to the gills with life. The film, based on Rudyard Kipling’s Mowgli stories, puts the young boy (played by Rohan Chand) front and center. Though, as in Disney’s adaptations of The Jungle Book, the animals speak and cooperate with each other, the tone of Mowgli hews a little starker. As it is, separate from whether or not it’s a good movie, it’s unclear who Mowgli is meant for. Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle arrives in theaters on Nov. 29 and begins

But it’s better together, as we said in our Red Dead Online beginner’s guide. In this guide, we’ll explain how the whole multiplayer thing works and how you can use Posses to create Red Dead Online co-op in Red Dead Redemption 2. How multiplayer works in Red Dead OnlineIf you’re playing Red Dead Online, you’re … online. is your portal into Red Dead Online co-op, and we’ll cover that in the next section below. If you want to play Red Dead Online co-op, then you want to form (or join) a Posse.

“Basically people who bought the collector’s edition were given a cheap nylon bag to house the Power Armor helmet that doesn’t match the product description or the image of a ‘West Tek canvas carrying bag,’” an individual wrote on Reddit. pic.twitter.com/oURZak2AEC — Scotty (@ScottyDontTwit) November 19, 2018We checked our own bag from our Power Armor edition and yep, it’s nylon — and also pretty flimsy. “We are sorry that you aren’t happy with the bag,” Bethesda support reportedly told another

Nintendo is ending the program to “make it easier for content creators to make and monetize videos that contain Nintendo game content.”The system is no longer accepting new videos and channels, nor will Nintendo review any remaining in the queue. The Nintendo Creators Program is coming to a close at the end of December. https://t.co/kC9I1fjvWG pic.twitter.com/mQSNui8uGN — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) November 29, 2018The program, which launched in 2015, granted registered users 60 perc

But with Hitman 2, players are given the opportunity to take on film’s greatest English corpse: Sean Bean. The entire Sean Bean Elusive Target is a meme of the actors illustrious career, and it’s all the better for it. In the end, I wanted to get my Sean Bean kill without failing, so I threw an exploding pen through a doorway and into his face. From start to finish, the entire “kill Sean Bean” scenario is perfectly staged for the actor. He thinks he’s the Undying, but we know the truth: He’s Sea

So I wasn’t expecting to use the CAMP feature much in Fallout 76, especially after running across that first Red Rocket down the road in Flatwoods, with its stash box and tinker’s table outside. I’ve seen a CAMP done at the Poseidon Energy substation over by the Ohio River, and I’ve seen others plopped down in the middle of Highway 86. But still, one of the cool things about running across one another’s CAMPs in Fallout 76 is picking up ideas from what they have done. Fallout 76 has a lot of wor

Despite this, I’ve already eclipsed my playtime from 4 in Fallout 76. When I’m not playing the game, I’m thinking about the game. As Polygon video producer Jenna Stoeber notes, “[Fallout 76] rewards my aimless wandering with bizarre and imaginative sights, not to mention strange and impossible creatures. He shouldn’t even be alive in the world of Fallout 76, but I guess that’s the mystery. Fallout 76 is barely Fallout, besides some shared aesthetics, but that’s OK — I’m not in it for the franchi

SpongeBob SquarePants creator Stephen Hillenburg passed away on Monday, following a battle with ALS. Emily: I was 12 years old when The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie came out in theaters. Before I could get into shows like Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, SpongeBob SquarePants was there as a stepping stone, the training wheels I needed to appreciate absurdist humor. You couldn’t spend a single recess without hearing someone make a SpongeBob joke, couldn’t go a single field trip without singi

There’s a moment midway through the BTS concert film Burn the Stage: The Movie that feels prophetic. The Marvel comparison is apt, given how Burn the Stage fits into the social-media era of cross-platform fandom and its attachment to long-form stories. Watching the film feels like following one small part of a continuing saga. Most concert films capture the present zeitgeist, but Burn the Stage feels like it’s telling us about a better future. Burn the Stage: The Movie screens in the U.S. on Dec

The board of Artifact makes use of its digital freedoms by filling it with lively animations and effects for each card played. Dota 2 can be a volatile game, and Artifact is much the same. Artifact can seem inscrutable at first, even mentally taxing, as games often run a great deal longer than most card games. Artifact card packs can be bought with real money or won through event tickets, and you can also buy or sell individual cards on the Steam Marketplace. But since the digital revolution of

One of the highlights from the Year in Review is the Top 100 Ships — the top romantic pairings posted, liked and reposted by Tumblr denizens. A simple list of popular ships is a reminder that when it comes to shipping, nothing is really that simple. What about overzealous fans who desperately want their real-life pairing to date for real? The real-life ships are pairings that some might not even realize are being hotly discussed, but they are, and just as intensely. You may not realize that it’s

Despite this awkward rollout, it’s also one of the best Battlefield games that DICE has ever created. Target is currently selling the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Battlefield 5 for $29.99, but the sale is only running until tomorrow, Nov. 29. The PC version, sadly, is still selling for the standard price of $59.99, and the digital deluxe versions are still $79.99. So this is a sale for the $59.99 version of Battlefield 5 on console, but not PC. It’s still a great price, and Battlefield

Of the people that have played Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 4, just 40 percent have completed Chapter 3. Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t hindered by its lack of jetpacks and rocket launchers. How the game motivates youThere are four different progression hooks in Red Dead Redemption 2: cores, weapons, horses and your camp. A day after launch, Red Dead Online is intent on maintaining the tone of Red Dead Redemption 2. Rockstar created a visually realistic digital world with Red Dead Redemptio

The NBA 2K League has already set out on the road to its sophomore season. That was intentional, according to the NBA and Rare Design, the branding firm that the league hired to craft the NBA 2K League marks. There’s no human silhouette in the logo because there’s “no prototypical NBA 2K player,” Donohue said during the conference call. What was clear, though, was that the organizers of the NBA 2K League were not happy about its lack of gender diversity. “I think everything was being reviewed an

Not long after dedicated Pokémon Go players received their first Sinnoh Stones, new reports suggest that Niantic has already changed the reward parameters. Sinnoh Stones came to Pokémon Go earlier this month, alongside an event encouraging players to hatch as many Eggs as possible. Instead of getting the promised Sinnoh Stone, players shared that their loot included stardust, experience and Poké Balls. A select group of others report that they are receiving their Sinnoh Stones as expected, leadi

Loveable Japanese mascot Chiitan has gained viral fame from a strange amalgamation of adorable looks and Jackass-type antics on YouTube and Instagram. Chiitan is mystifying — she exudes cuteness in everything she does, even in the face of utter disaster. In a promotion for Square Enix’s Just Cause 4, Chiitan recreates some of the in-game stunts and feats performed by protagonist Rico Rodriguez. We’re not sure what Just Cause 4 gets out of this, but the brave but ill-informed feats fall right int

With this glut of Spider-Content, it could be tempting to see Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse — a movie that technically doesn’t even have a Regular Peter Parker in it — as an extraneous afterthought. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse brings the most comic booky of concepts — an infinitely expanding web of parallel earths — to a wide audience without faltering. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse makes humor and exhilaration the primary emotions associated with being a superhero. But Spider-Vers
