I’m not sure how they’re still making Karate Kid movies, but they are, and the latest one just got its first trailer. Immediate apologies to those of you who are about to feel incredibly old with this point, but The Karate Kid turned 40 earlier this year, and even still they’re pumping out more and more from the franchise. There was that reboot film back in 2010 with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan...

James Gunn’s Superman is getting its first teaser trailer tomorrow, and ahead of that it’s gotten its own little tease. What’s up with marketing these days? We’ve known since the start of the week that Superman’s first trailer would be coming tomorrow, Thursday December 19, and director James Gunn even gave us a little bit of the main theme to listen to while we wait for it. That’s all well and good, but...

I’ll cut to the chase: 2024 has been a great year for gaming. Just look at the various GOTY pieces that’ll be going up over this week and into the beginning of 2025: each of the writing team here at VG247 has written three pieces – one about our actual GOTY, one about something that we feel has been criminally under-rated over the past 12 months, and one about something we’re really looking forward to...

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to discover that unicorns are real, and to kill one on the same day, the first trailer for Death Of A Unicorn promises to show just that. Unicorns, I’m sorry to say, are not real. We have plenty of horned animals in the world, but horses ain’t one of them, even if it would be a lot more whimsical of an existence if they...

In a vanishingly rare moment of consensus among a modern gaming community, I think most of us can agree that The Sims 4 is ending 2024 on a high note. The release of the Life & Death expansion pack on Halloween was met with the sort of nigh-on universal acclaim that the franchise hasn’t enjoyed in real-time since the golden age of the mid-2000s. It turns out that what we were really all missing was...

Earlier today, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead deployed the opening bit of the game’s first ever crossover. It’s some gear inspired by dormant PlayStation shooter Killzone, but the prices players are being asked to pay for this stuff have prompted some backlash. Basically, as we reported in our story this morning about the deployment of this Helldivers X Killzone collab, the amount of super credits being charged individually for the new assault rifle and armour set...

I don’t know about you, but I find that so many games that try to be funny fall short. It’s a hard thing to do! Different people are amused by vastly different stuff, so a developer looking to inject humour into their game is treading on inherently trecherous ground. Racoon Logic has somehow managed not only to traverse such dangers, they’ve slid over them, arms flailing. Revenge of the Savage Planet is an exceptionally funny...

The 2XKO team is off on holiday, but they’ve left a nice little roadmap of sorts for those keen to learn more about the game before they departed for office for sweet treats and boozy nights out. In short, there’ll be an update on what’s to come in February, and a chance for players to see this for themselves in March. This alligns with what we already know, that the next play test will be...

After a good few weeks of ‘will they, won’t they’ chatter surrounding Elden Ring and Bloodborne developer FromSoftware’s parent company Kadokawa Corporation and a potential acquisition by Sony, the pair have announced a thing. It’s a “strategic capital and business alliance” that’s aimed at boosting collaborative ties, with Sony becoming the largest shareholder in Kadokawa. A report from Reuters in late November was the first time we heard about this. Both sides then confirmed the...

As we wait for today’s hugely anticipated Superman trailer from James Gunn and DC Studios, the timing is just perfect to reminisce about the past incarnations of Supes and Lex Luthor. In fact, Jesse Eisenberg, who played the iconic villain in 2016’s ill-fated but financially successful Batman v Superman (and very briefly in Justice League), recently talked about the aftermath of that failure. In a recent episode of Armchair Expert, the actor briefly commented on...
