Kang the Conqueror is coming! With Jonathan Majors reportedly cast as the villainous master of time in Ant-Man 3, the MCU is picking up a fine replacement to monologuing mass murderer Thanos. But how do you top the man who killed half of all sentient beings in the universe with the snap of a finger? If Kang’s comics history is any indication, you do it with a guy whose ego crosses millennia and multiverses....

There’s a new (furry) fan-favorite in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there are no “bones” about it. The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special puts Cosmo the Spacedog where she belongs in the world’s highest-grossing franchise. It’s true that this four-legged friend made their debut all the way back in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, but with a bit of a revamp, she’s poised to have a significant role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy Vol....

The developer CD Projekt Red has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t have a morality system, so players will be able to steal cars and bring trouble to Night City to their hearts’ content. However, one of the game’s designers has said that while many players start out the game in GTA mode, they likely won’t stick to the lawless behavior for long. Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a unique, technologically advanced city where players can have nearly free rain over their actions....

At E3 2017, Ubisoft unveiled a brand new IP dubbed Skull and Bones, which lets players live the pirate’s life in intense naval combat. Given that game’s similar to Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag, many thought that the two franchises might be linked or that it is a spin-off, but now the studio has offered up an explanation for why it is keeping them separate. When it comes down to it, Skull and Bones is free from any major connection to the Assassin’s Creed series as a means of giving developer Ubisoft Singapore complete freedom to explore new ideas....

With Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel Avengers now out in the wild, the developer’s recent focus has no doubt been very much directed towards getting that triple-A title done and dusted. However, some of us are here in the background twiddling our thumbs while we wait patiently for some kind of update on the series that has been its other baby for many years now - Tomb Raider. We’re left wondering what’s next for everyone’s favorite video game heroine Lara Croft, when we could expect the next game to pop up, and whether or not the folks at Crystal Dynamics will be the ones to head up that ship....

Fear the Walking Dead finally returns on April 11, which means we might finally get some closure on some of the biggest loose ends from the first half of season 6, including just how Morgan plans to get his people out of Virginia’s clutches. So far the season has brought some radical changes to Morgan’s character — an altruistic leader left for dead who is transformed into an ax brandishing hunter looking for revenge....

A couple of weeks ago, Sucker Punch released its highly-anticipated game, Ghost of Tsushima, to the PlayStation 4. Immediately after its release, Ghost of Tsushima received positive reviews from players and critics, and it appears that the game is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases this year. Apart from its positive reception, Ghost of Tsushima also proved to be a commercial success for Sucker Punch given that it was able to sell 2....

This post contains spoilers for Netflix’s The Sandman season one DC’s The Sandman Comics The current state of DC Comics live-action adaptations may be up in the air, but there has been one bright spot in recent weeks. After more than a decade of false starts and development failures, Neil Gaiman‘s great Vertigo comic The Sandman has come to television screens. Even more surprising, it’s really good. Even as the show changes some details from the comics, downplaying its larger DC Universe connections, it still retains all of the beauty and horror that made the original series an enduring classic....

Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain was one of the first games to receive a 5/5 review here at Game Rant. Admittedly, the game was plagued with bugs and some bizarre story beats but, overall, the David Cage and company crafted an especially unique experience - where players could connect with their on-screen counterparts in wholly original ways. That said, not everyone loved the game - as many dismissed the title as little-more than an interactive movie (an interactive movie with a lot of plotholes)....

World of Warcraft players are going to have a brand new expansion to explore sometime before 2021 arrives (although there’s no Shadowlands release date yet) and the new storyline is bringing along a ton of new content and changes. In addition to the WoW level squish and brand new zones, Shadowlands is also adding four Covenants to the game and each character will eventually have to align with one of them to help unlock some awesome new abilities....

Over the weekend, the world’s highest Xbox Gamerscore record held by Ray “Stallion83” Cox was surpassed by a new challenger, Stephen “smrnov” Rowe, while the former reigning champion had been taking some time away from gaming to go on a honeymoon with his new bride. As it happens, Stallion83’s Gamerscore of 1,585,894 was beaten by quite the respectable figure of 6,386 points, with smrnov having then hit a Gamerscore of 1,592,280....

This Young Justice: Outsiders review contains spoilers. Young Justice Season 3 Episode 22 “Terminus” is, plot-wise, probably the biggest “Oh shit” episode of a fairly momentous season for Young Justice. It’s substantially narrowed from the most recent run up – there’s really only an A-plot, with a B-story for Black Lightning that I suspect is just positioning him for the climax of the season. And in that A-Plot: – The League gets enslaved by Granny Goodness and Anti-Life....

Despite some recent shuffling on behalf of the creator studio Bungie, Destiny 2 continues to see a robust player base support the game. Higher-ups at the studio also double-downed on supporting Destiny 2 through 2022 (at least) and heading in a more MMO direction than just remaining a PVP-focused FPS with a campaign mode. Controversially, the studio also decided to “sunset” or vault certain weapons, locations, campaigns, and other elements at the launch of the Beyond Light expansion....
