Bethesda releases a Thanksgiving-themed update for the popular Fallout Shelter, adding turkeys to the game as well as pilgrim outfits for vault dwellers to wear. Fallout Shelter has proven to be a major success ever since it was originally released, dethroning Candy Crush Saga as the #1 free app on the App Store, and earning millions of dollars for Bethesda. With the popular game financially supported via in-app microtransactions, Bethesda is able to release free updates on a regular basis, with the latest free update adding Thanksgiving-themed content to the post-apocalyptic wasteland....

The following contains spoilers for Fargo season 4. The FX series Fargo begins every episode of every season with a disclaimer that the stories are true but the names are changed. This gives the show a lot of leeway in picking its stories and how to present them. Fargo season 4 is set in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1950. Two mobs in one small city make a truce, which appears to be traditional in that part of town....

It’s almost a certainty that you’ve never seen a Christmas movie like Fatman. You know how they wanted to make all superhero films in that “gritty, realistic” style that Christopher Nolan turned into billions of dollars with the Dark Knight trilogy? In Fatman, writers/directors Ian and Eshom Nelms (Small Town Crime) take the greatest superhero of them all, Santa Claus, and transform him into a struggling, borderline alcoholic curmudgeon who may lose his business, and has a killer after him to boot....

Whittaker’s Doctor won’t regenerate at the end of the forthcoming six-episode series, but after a further three Specials, which are due to air in 2022. The first will air on New Year’s Day, the second will follow in spring of next year, and the final Whittaker special is due to air in autumn 2022, to tie in with the BBC’s Centenary celebrations, it’s been confirmed. There’s currently no word on who’ll be replacing her in the role, or who will step into Chibnall’s showrunner shoes, but expect plenty of speculation on that in the coming weeks....

Dog Soldiers is one of the most beloved werewolf movies of all time, and perhaps the only truly classic example of that particular horror subgenre produced this century. But despite a cult following, some subtle worldbuilding, and a raucous ending (punctuated by a fun detail revealed as the credits roll), 18 years later, there’s still no sign of a sequel. But that might be about to change. Neil Marshall and Kevin McKidd have had conversations about bringing Dog Soldiers 2 to life, and Sean Pertwee has revealed details about what the other two films in the a proposed Dog Soldiers trilogy might have looked like....

The hobby game company Fantasy Flight Games announces the release of a board game for Bethesda’s and id Software’s fast-paced first-person shooter DOOM. There aren’t many examples of video games, or to an even lesser extent, first-person shooters, that fans imagined would be transposed into the realm of tabletop gaming, but it seems as if the 2016 reboot of DOOM meets all of the right qualifications for the medium. As it happens, the company Fantasy Flight Games recently announced that it would be manufacturing and releasing “an asymmetrical board game of tactical combat” based on the id Software-developed DOOM....

Doom Eternal has brought many sandbox changes this time around. Ammo is more scarce, the chainsaw is more important than ever, and enemies bleed armor when lit aflame. It can be tough to wrap your head around all of the game’s additions, but no other Doom title is as fun to play as Doom Eternal. With the inclusion of destructible demons and the larger focus on ammo management, the weapon sandbox has seen some radical changes compared to Doom 2016....

Unfortunately for Bethesda, some of its E3 2018 surprises were leaked ahead of time, with Rage 2 prematurely revealed by Walmart Canada. However, as promised, the company still had some surprises for fans, including the announcement of Doom Eternal, the sequel to the well-received 2016 reboot. Doom Eternal was revealed with a gory trailer that showed a number of monstrosities lumbering around Hell, including a crazy-looking walking tank that looks like a human brain....

Dragon Age is filled with very interesting characters. Some are great enough to show up in several games, and comic books. This is the case for Maevaris, and also for Fenris, The Blue Wraith. The white-haired, tattooed elf is a fan favorite in Dragon Age. A vengeful former slave with no memories that hates slavers and treasures freedom is an amazing character idea, making it easy to understand why so many people love this character....

Dragon Age: Inquisition’s The Decent DLC has one dwarven character, Shaper Valta, gain powers that resemble magical casting abilities. This might mean dwarf mages could finally be an option for players in Dragon Age 4. Bioware has a history of laying the foundations for upcoming installments of its fantasy franchise through its DLC. Dragon Age: Origins’ Awakening DLC, for example, introduced the player to Anders, who would later become vital to Hawke’s story in the second game and the mage rebellion in Inquisition....

Director Denis Villeneuve has said all along that his epic new adaptation of author Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi landmark would be split into two films due to the sheer scope and density of Herbert’s narrative....

Warner Bros. has reportedly delayed the release date of Dune to Oct. 1, 2021, pushing the movie almost a year from its original December date. News of the Dune delay comes from Collider, which reports that the decision to push the movie back had “nothing to do” with the quality of the movie but the continued moviegoing complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic–just yesterday, Cineworld, owner of Regal Cinemas, announced that it would temporarily suspend operations in the US and UK....
