Bethesda Softworks has shared a new behind-the-scenes trailer featuring the talented voice cast of The Evil Within, the studio’s upcoming survival horror game being made with Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami. The cast includes Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels), Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter) and Jackie Earle Haley (Breaking Away, Watchmen). In the trailer they discuss the joy of working in video games and how it differs from their usual, on-camera acting work.

The Evil Within aims to put the “survival” back into the survival horror genre, which became increasingly action-oriented over the last decade. While there is certainly a fair share of running and gunning in the game, strictly limited resources for ammunition and trap construction means that you’ll have to be very careful in your exploration and planning if you hope to survive.

The episodic mystery follows detective Sebastian Castellanos (Mount) as he investigates a brutal, supernatural murder and is pulled into a terrifying parallel world, much like ours, but filled with nightmarish creatures.

The Evil Within comes to PC and PlayStation/Xbox consoles on October 21, 2014.

The developers behind inZOI announced a 2025 early access release date on Thursday despite assurances that the hyper-realistic life sim would still launch sometime this year.

Game producer and director Hyungjun “Kjun” Kim posted an open letter to the community on the inZOI Discord saying that the game will be coming out on March 28, 2025, instead of in late 2024 so that the developers can give the game "the best possible start."

MultiVersus is underperforming, but Warner Bros. is still focused on IP

Warner Bros. Discovery has revealed that its free-to-play fighting game MultiVersus has underperformed, along with the rest of its video game division, as it announced two new characters coming to the character crossover brawler on Thursday.
As reported by IGN, MultiVersus has contributed another $100 million to the already $200 million write-down from earlier this year after Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which launched to poor reviews, sold less than the company expected. Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav confirmed in a recent earnings call that the games division has been "substantially underperforming." However, he added that the company has four brands that it'll focus on: Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC (Batman in particular got a shoutout).
Warner Bros. Discovery only released one new game in the most recent financial quarter -- Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions -- but it's been supporting games like Mortal Kombat 1 and MultiVersus, along with reportedly developing a Hogwarts Legacy director's cut. The single-player Harry Potter simulator was the top-selling game of 2023, so the company wants to lean further into that IP, with a sequel set to align with the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series.
"We’re through some of the worst — and it hasn't been pretty on the gaming business — but we have four games that are really powerful and have a real constituency that love them, and we’re going to focus on those four primarily," Zaslav said. "We’re going to go away from trying to launch 10, 12, 15, 20 different games. I think we have a real chance now with focus to have the gaming business be steadier."

The earnings call comes on the same day that the company announced more characters for MultiVersus' upcoming fourth season, which will launch on November 12. Midnight Misfits will feature Adventure Time's Marceline and Raven from DC. Raven will be available at the start of the season, while Marceline will come to the game at a later date. The season ends on January 21, 2025.
MultiVersus is also getting a new arena mode that'll have players match up in teams of two and hop in a match with a total of eight teams. There will also be two new maps.
Despite the results, Warner Bros. Discovery doesn't seem to be letting up on MultiVersus any time soon. It falls into its focus on established IP (in that it features multiple IPs), and the company also recently acquired developer Player First Games to work more closely on the fighting game.

Every challenge and reward in Mario & Luigi: Brothership

Luigi kicks a shell in Mario & Luigi: Brothership.

You will face many obstacles on your quest across the islands of Concordia in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, in the form of classic turn-based battles and exploration. However, like every other Switch title, those who enjoy hunting for Trophies or Achievements won't find them here. Instead, Mario & Luigi: Brothership includes its own set of in-game challenges to scratch that same itch. These are difficult tasks that are completely optional but reward you with some very precious upgrade materials that are worth the effort. These will push you to use all the game's mechanics and tools. Most will be available from the start, but some only unlock later on so you can't complete them all at once. If you want to know what challenges await you in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, here's every challenge in the game and what your reward is for completing them.
All challenges and rewards in Mario & Luigi: Brothership

There are 29 total challenges in Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Some of them require you to complete other challenges to unlock them, while others open up as you progress the story. Here is each challenge name, what you need to do to complete it, and the reward.
