🎮 Multi-platformParamount Skydance Is Buying Mortal Kombat And Batman, But That’s Not All It’s Doing To Expand Its Gaming Footprint
Paramount Skydance has announced a new in-house game development studio, Paramount Games Studio, and we won't have to wait long at all to find out what the company is working on. Variety reports(https://variety.com/2026/digital/news/paramount-skydance-video-game-studio-1236767557/) that Paramount Games Studio will announce its first game today, June 5, during the Summer Game Fest showcase. It's a AAA game, but that's all that is known about it so far. Paramount already had game studios after its combination with Skydance, including Skydance Interactive and Skydance New Media. These studios are now being folded into Paramount Games Studio. Projects in the works at those studios are continuing, including Marvel 1943: Rise of Hyrdra and a new Star Wars game with Lucasfilm from Amy Hennig. https://twitter.com/paramountgames/status/2062913847720394843 Paramount Skydance is expected to become an even bigger game-maker soon, as the company is buying Warner Bros. Discovery and its game slate, including numerous major franchises and studios(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/netflix-could-own-all-these-warner-bros-game-studios-soon/2900-7310/1). The deal has not closed yet, however. Tony Driscoll, who is head of corporate strategy and development at Paramount, is leading Paramount Games Studio. He said video games are not an extension of Paramount's business, but a "core pillar" of it, alongside film and TV. "We are committed to creating exceptional games for every type of player, from casual to AAA, and building enduring experiences across our beloved Paramount IP and original worlds that deepen fan engagement and drive long-term growth," he said. Paramount Skydance's CEO, David Ellison, is a big gamer and is helping get the Call of Duty movie made(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-movie-release-date-trailer-story-cast-director-writer/1100-6536962/).
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformXbox “Must Have Exclusive Content,” CEO Says
Asha Sharma has now been the Xbox CEO for 100 days, following her surprising elevation to the role earlier this year. Under Sharma's predecessor, Phil Spencer, Xbox-exclusive games migrated to PlayStation 5 even as Xbox console users have continued to ask for more exclusives(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-gaming-is-dead-to-be-replaced-by-return-to-xbox-branding-report/1100-6539586/). Sharma has previously indicated a willingness to reconsider exclusivity(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-gaming-is-dead-to-be-replaced-by-return-to-xbox-branding-report/1100-6539586/) going forward, but now she's shared her belief that Xbox needs exclusives to shore up its future. "We're the number two publisher in the world and in order to be a great publisher, you must have your games reach large audiences to play," said Sharma while appearing on Bloomberg's recent live event(https://www.youtube.com/live/7xjSFDE7Pps). "At the same time, we're increasingly becoming a platform. In order to be a platform, you must have exclusive content and ... we're looking at that very closely. I think that we have to be very thoughtful about each title on how we want to think about it and learn from similar cases in the industry. And that's what we're doing." While looking ahead to her next 100 days, Sharma noted that she would love to see Xbox "be the number one gaming and entertainment company." However, she acknowledged that the gaming division is struggling. "We're long on gaming, we're long on Xbox," said Sharma. "We'll keep investing, but we've got work to do. You shared the numbers, we're not in a healthy spot and so you know the next 100 days is going to be about resetting the business ... We need to look at how we're investing, how we're prioritizing, change how we operate in order to return to growth, in order to be where the world plays." Sharma also directly addressed the fact that console prices are rising during this generation instead of falling as they had in previous generations. To counter that, she said "it will require fundamental change in terms of how we innovate and how we think about the business models and how we go bring this to market." "The biggest challenge and opportunity is how do you make affordable products during that time?," said Sharma when talking about the ongoing memory shortages and AI-driven expenses. "And that's what the next hundred days will be about." She went on to say that pulling co-pilot from Xbox was her decision, and it was done because players weren't excited about that feature. "We're going to be really thoughtful about how we ship AI," said Sharma. "My job is to think about where we invest, what we prioritize, and how we operate." Sharma went on to credit Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for giving her the "latitude to make the best decisions for our players." She also reiterated her belief in AI's benefits as a tool for game development. Under Sharma's watch, Xbox recently had a light rebrand to XBOX(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-ceo-wants-to-know-if-you-spell-it-xbox-or-xbox/1100-6539930/), while lowering the price of Game Pass and removing new Call of Duty titles from Xbox Game Pass at launch(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/game-pass-gets-price-drop-new-call-of-duty-games-no-longer-included/1100-6539523/). Microsoft will hold its next Xbox Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-games-showcase-set-for-june-7-gears-of-war-e-day-deep-dive-to-follow/1100-6539086/) on Sunday, June 7.

🎮 Multi-platformBlack Ops 7 Revives Classic CoD Movement In Season 4, And Players Are Loving It
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's fast-paced omnimovement is dialed back in Season 4's new limited-time playlist, and the community response has been very positive. The classic playlist features movement and gameplay inspired by older games in the series, which feels much like playing a remastered version of Black Ops 2. Call of Duty Season 4(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/cod-black-ops-7-and-warzone-season-4-adds-maps-guns-and-the-return-of-fortunes-keep/) introduced Black Ops Classic, a new throwback mode that scales back the movement, removing the game's advanced omnimovement, sliding, and wall-tap mechanics. Certain loadout gear is also restricted in Black Ops Classic, such as the popular Stim Shot equipment, which allows players to quickly heal mid-fight for more aggressive play. Black Ops Classic further leans into the appeal of a throwback mode by being limited to only the remastered Black Ops maps from older games. This map pool includes iconic maps, such as Firing Range, Nuketown, Hijacked, Standoff, Summit, Raid, and more. It's also a mosh pit of Call of Duty's staple game modes, with a mix of Domination, Hardpoint, Team Deathmatch, and Kill Confirmed. All of these changes Treyarch implemented definitely make this Black Ops 7 playlist feel like old-school Call of Duty. The pace is slowed down, and tactical gameplay and map positioning are more important here. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/S2-Slums.jpg?w=1024) Slums map remastered in Black Ops 7 For a limited time, players can hop into Black Ops Classic as Black Ops 2's David Mason or Mike Harper with the Peacekeeper assault rifle equipped on a map like Slums and really get lost in the nostalgia. The reception is already very positive for the mode, and some players are calling it to be a permanent game mode. "Played one match of Black Ops Classic, and yeah I'm gonna need this to be a permanent mode," one player(https://x.com/zackpr05/status/2062573938849259893) said. "Black Ops Classic is easily the best playlist that's been added to the game. Classic gameplay loop and movement feels incredible. Please keep this for the rest of the year, Treyarch," said another player(https://x.com/MikeRxqe/status/2062642628726821092). Others love it so much, they are already asking for a classic playlist in the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 game. "Can we please get classic mode in MW4," a player requested(https://x.com/Ameerlx570/status/2062670734527238326). "I don't like the sweaty sliding and fast movement. I prefer the classic mode that was released today." Call of Duty will ditch omnimovement in Modern Warfare 4(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/hated-cod-black-ops-7s-omnimovement-mw4-ditches-it/), but it won't be a classic movement system. Infinity Ward says the game is very much a boots-on-the-ground Call of Duty, but it will still feature refined parkour-style movement. So, players can still expect fact-paced sliding and mantling mechanics. The full version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and PC. The game features a full campaign, multiplayer, and DMZ extraction mode. Like previous years, Modern Warfare 4 is confirmed to have an open beta(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-open-beta-confirmed-and-you-can-get-in-early/) ahead of launch, and more details on that hands-on opportunity will be revealed soon. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 preorders are live(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/preorder-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-vault-edition-and-save-10/) now with standard and Vault editions of the game.
🎮 Multi-platformNew Lara Croft Actor Reveals How She Busted Up Her Arm Making The New Game
Alix Wilton Regan, who plays Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis and Tomb Raider: Catalyst, has discussed an injury she sustained while working on Legacy of Atlantis. She told WhatCulture Gaming that she is known to go "a little bit too hard" when doing performance-capture work, and that happened with Legacy of Atlantis. "I just forget that I'm not actually Lara Croft. I was recently throwing myself into a door voluntarily as she batters the door down, and I hurt my arm by the end of the day," she said. "Everyone was like, 'You don't have to do that.' And I'm like, 'I do! I have to feel everything.' I would drive people mad on set with that." She added: "That was how I injured my arm. I was doing five, six, seven takes in a row. My arm was hanging limply by my side. A co-star went, 'I don't think that's right.' I was like, 'Oh, it's probably not.'" Wilton Regan is not the first Tomb Raider actor to get injured on set. Sophie Turner, who plays Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider TV show, suffered a "minor injury"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/tomb-raider-star-sophie-turner-suffers-injury-tv-show-production-suspended/1100-6539083/) recently, with production on the series shutting down temporarily. https://twitter.com/WCultureGaming/status/2062679328069156969 Legacy of Atlantis is a remake of the 1996 original Tomb Raider game, and the developers at Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog used generative AI(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/tomb-raider-legacy-of-atlantis-features-ai-assisted-assets-that-were-refined-by-humans/) to bring it to life. Legacy of Atlantis was originally set to launch in 2026, but has now been delayed to February 2027. It's not the only Tomb Raider game coming in 2027, as a brand-new game, Tomb Raider: Catalyst, is also arriving next year. Wilton Regan is taking over from Camilla Luddington as Lara Croft. Luddington played Lara Croft in 2013's Tomb Raider and its sequels, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
