🎮 Multi-platformRyan Hurst Shows Off How Shredded He Got For God Of War, Before Misfortune Struck
Anyone looking to portray Sony's beefiest protagonist, Kratos, in a live-action God of War series would need to be suitably jacked for the role, and actor Ryan Hurst certainly looks like he spent most of the day at the gym. Following a devastating bicep tear injury(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/god-of-war-tv-show-forced-to-recast-kratos-after-serious-injury/) that forced him to vacate the role, Hurst has posted an image online of just how massive he got to play the stoic god-killer, and that simple selfie looks leagues better than the official God of War TV series promotional image that preceded it. While the image briefly appeared on Hurst's Instagram Stories--quick-fire content that is only up for 24 hours--it was preserved by The Gamerverse. The original image didn't feature any text, but Hurst did use Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" song for it. While there's no clue as to when the photo was taken, it does show Hurst in a much better light as Kratos, complete with the signature markings of the character. https://twitter.com/TheGameVerse/status/2085951791783637233 Several fans have responded to the image online, remarking that Amazon might have moved a little too quickly to replace Hurst and that the first promotional image for God of War didn't do him any favors. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/GoW-Prime-Video.jpg?w=636) The original God of War promotional image for the Prime Video series. Facing months of downtime and rehabilitation, the best-case scenario would have seen Hurst return to resume filming on God of War in early 2027, but Prime Video's production schedule likely necessitated that a replacement be found as soon as possible. While a new actor to fill the role hasn't been announced yet, Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista is reportedly being considered(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/wrong-gow-right-role-dave-bautista-reportedly-set-to-play-kratos-in-god-of-war-series/) to take over. While he has slimmed down, he'd likely be able to bulk up relatively quickly given his history of preparing for physically demanding roles. Beyond the upcoming TV series, God of War fans can also look forward to God of War Laufey(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/god-of-war-laufey-gameplay-release-date-and-everything-we-know-so-far/) when it launches on February 18, 2027, for PS5. It'll be followed by another Kratos-led adventure(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/kratos-next-god-of-war-game-will-pick-up-where-laufey-leaves-off/) in the future, as well as the remake of the original God of War trilogy. 50 Video Game Movies In The Works: How Many Of Them Will Actually Come Out? !Street-Fighter(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Street-Fighter.jpg?w=636) !4504066-elden-ring.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4504066-elden-ring.jpg?w=636) !4436762-helldivers-2.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4436762-helldivers-2.jpg?w=636) !4328572-watchdogs.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4328572-watchdogs.jpg?w=636) !4482820-sonic-4.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4482820-sonic-4.jpg?w=636) !El-Paso(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/El-Paso.jpg?w=636) !4252750-vgmovies(29).jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4252750-vgmovies(29).jpg?w=636) View Images(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/video-game-movies-in-the-works/2900-5059/)
🎮 Multi-platformGTA 6 Preorder Numbers Won’t Be Revealed Because They Could Be Misleading, Take-Two CEO Says
Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick recently said GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-everything-we-know/1100-6503729/)'s preorder numbers are unprecedented in the gaming industry(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-preorders-are-unprecedented-across-the-industry-take-two-claims/?utmsource=dlvr.it&utmmedium=facebook), and that's part of the reason why the company is not revealing actual numbers. Zelnick said in an interview with Bloomberg(https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2026-08-07/why-take-two-won-t-share-grand-theft-auto-vi-pre-order-numbers?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTc4NjEyMjA3MCwiZXhwIjoxNzg2NzI2ODcwLCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJUSkVTSzFLR0NURk8wMCIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.WOgGqfJRzLpRaZCgIGO6mpyHe0T7NPtOxtvkU2UiEXU&leadSource=article-gifting) that GTA 6 preorders "vastly" surpassed internal expectations, but he's unsure "whether they mean anything." "The massive demand for preorders we’ve seen to date could reflect a pull forward of sales that otherwise would materialize in the fullness of time," he said. Zelnick said sharing real, raw data for GTA 6 preorders could mislead investors, so Take-Two is not going to do so. "I’ve reminded people that we simply don’t know the demand curve because it’s just never happened before,” Zelnick said. “Given that, we think the raw numbers could potentially be misleading in a direction we wouldn’t feel good about.” Speaking during Take-Two's recent earnings call, Zelnick said of GTA 6's preorder numbers, "No one’s ever seen anything like this before at Take-Two, or in the industry." He added: “To be clear, we haven’t sold one unit yet. You can cancel a preorder.” !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/RaulBautista04e54572.jpg?w=636) GTA 6 releases this November on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Also during the earnings briefing, Take-Two reiterated that GTA 6 is not delayed(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-has-not-been-delayed-still-on-track-for-its-november-launch/) further. Management also defended GTA 6's $80 price point, saying the game offers “phenomenal value.”(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/take-two-defends-gta-6s-80-price-calls-it-phenomenal-value/) GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. It's expected to be 2026's biggest game, and it could get another jolt when the next evolution of GTA Online launches(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dont-expect-to-hear-about-gta-6s-online-mode-soon/).
🎮 Multi-platformDon’t Expect To Hear About GTA 6’s Online Mode Soon
GTA Online for GTA 5 has been, and continues to be, a gigantic success for Rockstar and Take-Two. So why hasn't Rockstar divulged any information about how GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-everything-we-know/1100-6503729/) will work with respect to multiplayer and online? We don't know, and a new report claims Rockstar isn't going to reveal anything anytime soon. "Right now, Take-Two is only talking about GTA 6 in terms of the single-player portion, which will not presumably have recurring revenue. I don't think they are putting microtransactions in the single-player game," Bloomberg's Jason Schreier reported(https://youtube.com/watch?si=I2C0mLAqBVAqYEiB&v=goRwYUSl4&feature=youtu.be). "They have not talked at all, and they are not planning to talk anytime soon, about what the new GTA Online will look like and what that recurring spend will look like." !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/DreQuanPriest01.jpg?w=636) GTA 6 launches in November. When Rockstar announced the preorder details for GTA 6, the developer described GTA 6 as being a "single-player experience." There was no mention whatsoever of any kind of online support. That baffled some people, as GTA Online has been monumentally successful and Rockstar, along wth parent company Take-Two, no doubt want to keep the money flowing when GTA 6 comes out with some kind of new and improved version. Unconfirmed reports have claimed that GTA Online, even now, some 13 years after its release, brings in more than $500 million per year. GameSpot's Mark Delaney argues that there is no easy way(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/with-gta-6-online-rockstar-is-deciding-who-to-make-mad/) for Rockstar to transition from the current GTA Online to what comes next. Whatever decision Rockstar makes is sure to anger some fans, he said. The next big showcase for GTA 6 will come on August 27. That's when a new "extended look" at the game will air on Netflix, starting that day at 3 PM ET. People have expressed anger and frustration at Rockstar putting the new GTA 6 trailer effectively behind a paywall, but it's a sign of the times(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-6-being-paywalled-behind-netflix-is-upsetting-a-lot-of-people-but-its-a-sign-of-the-times/). GTA 6 launches on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
