🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformPlayStation Will Remove Hundreds Of Purchased Movies And TV Shows From User Libraries In September
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/29/51065222/terminator-2-poster-image.jpg.webp) Sony has announced it is removing hundreds of purchased movies and TV Shows by Studio Canal from players' digital libraries. This will begin September 1, with Sony citing seemingly expiring content licensing agreements as the reason. You can view the full, lengthy list of content being removed from players’ PlayStation digital libraries by checking out Sony’s announcement post(https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/psvideocontent/) published on Friday, June 26, which succintly reads "From September 1, 2026, due to our content licensing agreements, you will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library." The news first attracted attention thanks to a social media post by user somatyk(https://x.com/somatyk/status/2069938884973117549), who shared a message sent by the PlayStation Store to users notifying them that their purchased content would soon become unavailable. > PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED > $7.535B 2025 profit, but Sony are quite happy to shaft their customers, given half the chance. pic.twitter.com/2QVpSJ7e9D(https://t.co/2QVpSJ7e9D) > > — somatyk (@somatyk) June 25, 2026(https://x.com/somatyk/status/2069938884973117549?refsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) Notable films listed include Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut, The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, From Dusk Till Dawn, Hot Fuzz, Inside Llewyn Davis, Moonrise Kingdom, Paddington 2, Pan’s Labyrinth, the first three First Blood/Rambo films, Sharknado, Silver Linings Playbook, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, This Is Spinal Tap, and Train to Busan. TV shows include American Gods, The Young Pope, and Trust Me. The post makes no mention of refunds, so players will not be compensated for losing access to films/shows they paid for. PlayStation ceased the sale and rental of movies/TV shows(https://gameinformer.com/2021/03/02/playstation-store-will-no-longer-offer-movie-and-tv-sales-or-rentals) in 2021, so while players have been unable to buy or rent such media for years now, they could still access previously purchased content. However, as noted by Video Games Chronicle(https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-is-deleting-over-550-purchased-movies-from-ps5-users-digital-libraries/), PlayStation’s End User Agreement, as with most digital storefronts, states that users purchase licenses to view content, which can be removed upon the expiry of licensing agreements.
🎮 Multi-platformA Once-Dismissed Warcraft Leak May Have Just Revealed Blizzard’s Huge Plans For The Franchise
A leak from nearly a year ago allegedly revealing Blizzard's huge plans for the Warcraft franchise is looking more legitimate after a recent datamine seems to have corroborated a key aspect of it. In August 2025, Reddit user 5thyatch (as highlighted by Warcraft-content creator Bellular(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eBwRRW5ZI)) posted an image of a document that reportedly showed a timeline of Warcraft-related releases up through 2030, including the release windows for the next several World of Warcraft(https://www.gamespot.com/games/world-of-warcraft/) expansions as well as two unannounced games and even two television shows. It also highlighted the release of something called "Camelot" related to WoW Classic for the end of this year. Though 5thyatch's account and posts have since been deleted, eagle-eyed Warcraft fans on Reddit have now resurfaced the leak(https://www.reddit.com/r/classicwow/comments/1ubzdlz/camelottimelineleakpostedonreddit10months/) using the Wayback Machine in the wake of a recent datamine that looks to add credence to it being the real deal. Wowhead(https://www.wowhead.com/classic/news/dataminers-may-have-just-uncovered-the-next-iteration-of-wow-classic-project-381874) recently found evidence of Heroic and Epic editions of something called World of Warcraft Camelot on Blizzard's internal servers. Camelot, then, looks to be real, with many fans theorizing it's the long-rumored Classic+ version of WoW Classic that will see Blizzard adding new content to the original, "Vanilla" version of the old-school MMORPG without progressing to the game's numerous expansions. Blizzard has previously teased a major announcement related to Classic for BlizzCon 2026, and the Camelot release window shown in the leak seems to indicate it could be coming shortly after its rumored BlizzCon reveal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eBwRRW5ZI If Camelot is real, then the rest of the leaked document also starts to be more believable, despite how far-fetched some of it may seem at first glance. The leak accurately predicted the release window for WoW's Midnight expansion before it was known, and lists the game's next expansion, The Last Titan, to be coming towards the end of 2027. WoW expansions, however, are just the tip of the iceberg. The leak also shows a new RTS game titled Warcraft Chronicles is slated for a late 2028 release. It would be the first new Warcraft RTS since Warcraft 3's Frozen Throne expansion in 2003. In addition, an untitled Arthas ARPG is scheduled for late 2029. It's unclear if ARPG in this case means a top-down, Diablo-style game or a character-action RPG starring the Lich King himself, but either scenario would be a major departure for the franchise. The leak additionally makes a point to highlight what appear to be tie-in shows related to both the untitled Arthas game and Warcraft Chronicles. When this leak first appeared last year, the idea of Blizzard working on multiple television shows (one animated and one live-action, according to the leak), seemed outlandish. But it would be around six months after the leak surfaced that Blizzard began to signal it had more planned for the Warcraft franchise than just WoW. Blizzard vice president and executive producer Holly Longdale said in February the Warcraft IP is "underutilized"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/warcraft-ip-is-underutilized-blizzard-boss-says/1100-6537872/) and that Blizzard has "a bigger vision" for Warcraft "than simply being an MMORPG." That same month, Blizzard president Johanna Faries in an interview said "exciting conversations"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blizzard-boss-teases-exciting-conversations-about-hollywood-adaptations/1100-6538113/) were happening regarding Hollywood adaptations of Blizzard IP. It's worth noting that even if this leak is geniune, there's no telling when this alleged internal Blizzard document is actually from. It might not represent Blizzard's current plans any longer. The new Warcraft RTS or Arthas spin-off could have been canceled in the last few years, as Blizzard leadership has somewhat infamously said it historically cancels 50% of its projects(https://gameinformer.com/blizzcon-2018/2018/11/07/50-percent-of-blizzard-projects-never-see-the-light-of-day) before they see the light of day. Given that Blizzard's parent company Xbox is rumored to be undergoing major layoffs soon(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-reportedly-planning-big-layoffs-for-next-month/), it's unclear how Blizzard's various unannounced projects may fare. Xbox president Asha Sharma in a public memo(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/06/10/next-100-days-xbox-reset/) has signaled a desire for Xbox to focus more heavily on its "industry-defining franchises" that she says have in the past not been "adequately funded" to "compete and win." It's unclear if Xbox considers Warcraft one of those key franchises.

🎮 Multi-platformMarvel Tokon’s Deadpool Is Full Of Obscure References, Just Like You’d Hope
Ahead of its launch in August, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls(https://www.gamespot.com/games/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls/)' final team of multiversal brawlers was revealed at Evo 2026(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-the-major-fighting-game-announcements-from-evo-2026/). Dubbed the Samurai Outriders, this team includes Blade, Loki, Ghost Rider, and everyone's favorite chatterbox antihero, Deadpool. As you'd expect, Deadpool is pure chaos, but he's also a walking tribute to fighting games from across multiple series. As part of his character, Deadpool has somehow obtained a game strategy guide from beyond the fourth wall, allowing him to use attacks from other games in combat. While the reveal trailer only shared some of Deadpool's gameplay, the references ranged from anime poses to an incredibly obscure PlayStation Easter egg. First up, yes, Deadpool is indeed doing the infamous Naruto run: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-2.jpg?w=1024) Guilty Gear Strive players will likely recognize this Jack-O pose: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-5.jpg?w=1024) Did the Hulk break Deadpool's $500 sunglasses? Because that sure looks like Johnny Cage's signature attack from Mortal Kombat: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-3.jpg?w=1024) Speaking of Mortal Kombat, get over here and look at this move from the Scorpion playbook: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-7.jpg?w=1024) Toasty! !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-8.jpg?w=1024) What's the point in having an advanced healing factor if you don't use it to poke fun at Tekken with a Yoshimitsu-inspired Hara-Kiri attack? This could also be a reference to Deadpool & Wolverine, as the first meeting between the fan-favorite Marvel characters wasn't exactly cordial. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-6.jpg?w=1024) What will Dr. Doom say when he sees Deadpool use one of his aerial stomp-attacks from the Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 days? !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-11.jpg?w=1024) And then there's this move, which resembles Vegeta's Consecutive Energy Blast barrage from Dragon Ball FighterZ. Deadpool even drops an infamous Moon Knight quip about resorting to random bullst attacks. One of the random objects thrown out is the original PlayStation mascot--and PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale final boss--Mr. Polygon Man: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-9.jpg?w=1024) We're also treated to Deadpool riffing on Guilty Gear some more with a burning Sol Badguy uppercut: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-12.jpg?w=1024) May's forward-charge Mr. Dolphin attack: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-13.jpg?w=1024) And Lady Deadpool uses Jam's Ryuujin Kick during Deadpool's ultimate, which also looks like it was inspired by a Persona team attack: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-14.jpg?w=1024) She also strikes a Sailor Moon pose afterward, and yes, it's adorable: !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Marvel-Tokon-Deadpool-15.jpg?w=1024) And finally, that is Nolan North voicing Deadpool once again. The veteran actor has provided his voice in several Marvel games, including the 2014 Deadpool game, Marvel's Midnight Suns, and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. Sony has also confirmed that a Marvel Tokon open beta will start on July 24, and Blade will be playable in it. The fighting game launches on August 6 for PC and PS5, and if you're looking to start building your dream team, you can check out our list of every Marvel Tokon character(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/marvel-tokon-fighting-souls-every-character/2900-6640/) in the launch roster.

🎮 Multi-platformThe Witcher Company CD Projekt Is Now CD Projekt Red, Not To Be Confused With CD Projekt Red
CD Projekt, the parent company of Cyberpunk 2077(https://www.gamespot.com/games/cyberpunk-2077/) and The Witcher(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-witcher-4/) studio CD Projekt Red, has a new name that it hopes will unify its businesses. Unfortunately, that name is CD Projekt Red, which is perplexing because CD Projekt Red already exists. So now, there are two CD Projekt Reds. In a June 23 news post(https://www.bankier.pl/wiadomosc/CD-Projekt-zmienia-nazwe-spolki-na-CD-Projekt-RED-9156039.html) (via Eurogamer(https://www.eurogamer.net/cd-projekt-rebrands-as-cd-projekt-red)), CD Projekt's new name is CD Projekt Red Spółka Akcyjna, with the tacked-on bit at the end being a Polish term for joint-stock company. The company voted on this name to consolidate the operations of its broader businesses, which include OG CD Projekt Red and all of its subsidiaries. In a statement on the news, CDPR said the intention was to create one main company that does everything CDPR has already been doing. That way, there's no confusion between CDPR the publisher and CDPR the developer ... except there's a lot of confusion between the two with this move. "The studio's activities currently correspond to the Company's core operational activity, which consists of producing and publishing video games and managing the Company's brands, including through the creation and licensing of accompanying products," CDPR wrote. "In the opinion of the Management Board, the new company name will ensure consistency in the communication of the CD Projekt Red brand, which will, among other things, facilitate the identification of the company with its products on the global market and support recruitment processes." It may become difficult to differentiate official news from CDPR the publisher and CDPR the developer now. So, when there's an announcement or a press release, it'll be tough to ascertain which is which and what it means for your favorite games like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher. Speaking of Cyberpunk 2077, CDPR is working on a sequel, though information about the project is scarce. Although the studio recently said its reputation hasn't fully healed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cd-projekt-boss-says-reputation-not-fully-healed-after-cyberpunk-2077-catastrophe/) following the game's disastrous launch, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 drops this fall(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cyberpunk-edgerunners-2-new-trailer/)--and a new trailer is out now. On The Witcher front, there's been no substantive news about The Witcher 4. But to tide us all over, while "most" of the staff works on the upcoming sequel and new IP(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/witcher-4-and-new-ip-at-cd-projekt-get-fresh-updates-heres-the-latest/1100-6538907/), The Witcher 3 is getting an expansion(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-witcher-3s-songs-of-the-past-expansion-was-supposed-to-release-sooner/) that may bridge the gap between the two games. More news about this DLC, titled Songs of the Past, will be revealed at Gamescom, which will be held in Cologne, Germany, from August 26 to August 30.

🎮 Multi-platformCyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 Premieres This Fall And Has A New Trailer
!Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/29/266acfc6/cyberpunkedgerunners2officialteaser4.jpg.webp) A standalone sequel to Netflix’s hit Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was announced last summer(https://gameinformer.com/2025/07/07/cyberpunk-edgerunners-2-is-a-standalone-sequel-series-coming-to-netflix), and now we have our best look yet at the upcoming series thanks to a new trailer. Netflix has also revealed a Fall premiere date. The 10-episode Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 stars a brand-new cast and story. While it remains set in Night City (of course), it centers on four new faces: Weak Kingsley, D, Roman Carax, and Talia Yang. Netflix has provided official descriptions for each character (thanks, Video Games Chronicle(https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/cyberpunk-edgerunners-2-confirms-fall-release-as-four-new-characters-are-introduced/)). Weak Kingsley was “Once known as ‘King,’ a veteran Edgerunner at the top of his game, Weak now lives in the shadow of his former glory.” D is a “Snake Nation netrunner who hunts the killer that wiped out his clan.” Talia Yang "hails from the Corpo towers, but her heart belongs to chrome and violence.” Lastly, Roman Carax is a “young cinephile in search of real stories in a city that abandoned cinema for braindances.” Kai Ikarashi, director of the first Edgerunners, helms the sequel, along with returning lead designer Kanno Ichigo and Hugo Award winner Bartosz Sztybor as showrunner, story writer, and producer.
