The First New Kingdom Hearts Game in Five Years Has Been Canceled

12 hours ago | inverse.com | Hayes Madsen

It’s been a rough few years for Kingdom Hearts fans, between being stuck in limbo on the mobile game Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link and quite literally not a single piece of update about Kingdom Hearts 4 outside of that reveal trailer. After multiple rounds of delays and months of no new information, Square Enix has officially canceled Missing Link. While this cancellation might seem shocking, if you’ve paid attention to Square Enix’s mobile efforts, it’s not entirely a surprise.
Firebreak’ Is a Wonderfully Chaotic Co-Op Shooter

17 hours ago | inverse.com | Hayes Madsen

One of my core gaming memories as a teenager is being hunched over my PC until 4AM, spending eight hours straight on runs of Left 4 Dead with my group of friends. Left 4 Dead’s unique blend of co-op and horde survival was literally infectious, and although other games have tried, nothing in the decades since has been able to scratch that same itch.
Galen Erso? 'Andor' Just Dropped The Most Crucial 'Rogue One' Easter Egg

1 day ago | inverse.com | Lyvie Scott

For a prequel to Rogue One, the second season of Andor has been weirdly light on cameos or Easter eggs. The series isn’t all that interested in referencing the Star Wars stories we’ve already seen before: it’s more of a complement to those films and shows than a live-action remix of their events.
GTA’s Best Game Could Finally Be Coming To The PlayStation 5

1 day ago | inverse.com | Trone Dowd

Before players finally explore the state of Leonida a year from now, there may be a good reason to make a pitstop in Liberty City. A rumor suggests that a port of 2008’s Grand Theft Auto IV is in the works and could be released as early as the end of this year. The rumor is credited to a tipster named Tez2, a user deep in the trenches of GTA Forums known for leaking information related to the secretive developer.
'Tekken 8' Producer Still Wants To Get Waffle House Added To The Games

1 day ago | inverse.com | Hayes Madsen

For nearly two years there’s been a running gag in the Tekken community, with fans begging producer Katsuhiro Harada to put a Waffle House stage in the game. If you’re unsure why that would be a thing, or you aren’t local to one, the Waffle House is where you can go to get a deeply cheap but filling meal at 3am — but it’s also notorious for fights. You can find dozen of low-res TikToks of fights at Waffle House, including the incredible one where a worker parries a chair.
Amazon's Most Exciting New Superhero Show Finally Released A Teaser

1 day ago | inverse.com | Lyvie Scott

Sony Pictures has spent the better half of the decade trying to justify its hold on the Spider-Man franchise. Nothing about the saga has been the same after Sam Raimi’s beloved 2000s trilogy ended, and few attempts to recreate its magic have really borne fruit. But with 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Sony finally struck gold. The studio has wisely leaned into the world the animated film opened up, and we’re finally about to see the results of that pivot.
The Gnarliest Thriller Of The Year Brings New Life To An Iconic Horror Franchise

One of the fun things about Final Destination: Bloodlines is that its heroine essentially knows she’s in a Final Destination movie.
The Next Battlefield Campaign Is Inspired By

1 day ago | inverse.com | Trone Dowd

Games centered on war have always borrowed liberally from film. Medal of Honor: Frontline famously recreated the terrifying chaos of Saving Private Ryan’s opening scene, and in over two decades since then, everything from Apocalypse Now to Black Hawk Down has made a clear impression on developers making history-based shooters. Now, Developer EA Motive is looking to Hollywood for inspiration for the next big entry in the Battlefield series.
'Andor' Season 2 Episodes 10, 11, And 12 Will Be A Tragic Finale

2 days ago | inverse.com | Lyvie Scott

It’s hard to believe, but Andor Season 2 is officially wrapping up. It took nearly three years for the Star Wars show and its leading man, Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), to return, but thanks to its accelerated release schedule, the show is already coming to what feels like a premature end. It’s not so different for Cassian himself, whose demise in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is fast approaching.
Magic's Final Fantasy Set Has Convinced Me To Take The Plunge

2 days ago | inverse.com | Hayes Madsen

I worked at Target over a decade ago, and every payday, a group of guys from the backroom would drop $200 each on the newest shipment of Magic: The Gathering cards. As someone who obsessively collected things, I said then and there I couldn’t get into Magic... but then Final Fantasy came along. I want to get my grubby hands on these cards, not just because they look pretty, but because of how impressively the new Final Fantasy set adapts the video game’s ideas and mechanics.
