🎮 PlayStation, Multi-platformJason Momoa Reportedly Drops Out Of Helldivers Movie
The upcoming film adaptation of Helldivers has lost its leading man, with Jason Momoa exiting the project. Deadline(https://deadline.com/2026/06/jason-momoa-helldivers-exits-1236950906/) reports that Momoa, who joined the production in February(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/helldivers-movie-starring-jason-momoa-sets-2027-release-date/1100-6538105/), departed from the movie, but the reason for his withdrawal is not clear. Regardless, the film is still in production and set for a November 2027 premiere. Sony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are said to be searching for a new star. While it's understandable that any major studio would want a big-name actor in the lead, Helldivers might be better suited for an ensemble cast, as one of the key elements of the games is the expendability of every Helldiver in the never-ending battle for managed democracy. Regardless, Momoa would have been a boon for a Helldivers adaptation; he has video game adaptation cred with A Minecraft Movie and the upcoming Street Fighter film, in which he portrays Blanka(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/street-fighter-movie-cast/2900-6984/12)--inspired casting, to say the least. With production on A Minecraft Movie Squared firing up(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-minecraft-movie-2-gets-a-new-name-adds-one-of-the-funniest-actors-out-there/), it's possible that schedule conflicts emerged for Momoa. The Helldivers movie has Fast & Furious director Justin Lin at the helm(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/helldivers-movie-lands-fast-furious-director/1100-6536624/), and although his reported lack of experience playing video games sparked some concern, his track record with action movies should largely quell any worries. 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=1024) !4504066-elden-ring.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4504066-elden-ring.jpg?w=1024) !4436762-helldivers-2.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4436762-helldivers-2.jpg?w=1024) !4482814-themortuaryassistant.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4482814-themortuaryassistant.jpg?w=1024) !4328572-watchdogs.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4328572-watchdogs.jpg?w=1024) !4482820-sonic-4.jpg(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/original/1601/16018044/4482820-sonic-4.jpg?w=1024) !El-Paso(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/El-Paso.jpg?w=1024) View Images(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/video-game-movies-in-the-works/2900-5059/)
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Denies That Gears Of War: E-Day Skipping PS5 Was Last-Minute Decision, But No One Believes That
An Xbox marketing boss has denied that Gears of War: E-Day skipping PlayStation 5 was a last-minute decision despite fans discovering what they believe is overwhelming evidence that it was. After it was discovered that Microsoft hastily removed a recent video showing a PS5 logo for Gears of War: E-Day (see below), marketing boss Aaron Greenberg said it is "not true"(https://x.com/aarongreenberg/status/2064109955117158455) that Microsoft canceled a PS5 edition of the game at the last minute. "We just limited the knowledge of this news to a very small internal group. Intention was to share this news first with our players and everyone watching showcase," he said. "It is not true that it was a last-minute decision" to have E-Day be an Xbox console exclusive, he added(https://x.com/aarongreenberg/status/2064120050693685388). https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/2064094012600889582 Asked when Microsoft made the call to not bring E-Day to PS5, Greenberg said(https://x.com/aarongreenberg/status/2064129884985975134) he became aware of it "roughly a month in advance," but he didn't clarify any further. On the night before the Xbox Games Showcase, reporter Jeff Grubb said Microsoft had been working on a PS5 edition of E-Day but canceled it(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gears-of-war-e-day-ps5-version-canceled-report-says/). “Gears of War: E-Day was going to be on PS5–it’s not anymore. That just happened. That’s a decision that just got made," Grubb said on June 6. After the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7 where E-Day was announced as a console exclusive on Xbox, Grubb said(https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bdacp2cmuuyawx553cv2spdy/post/3mnps3tzbes2b?refsrc=embed) there is a "basically finished version of Gears for PlayStation sitting on a drive." Retailer listings for a PS5 edition of the game were also discovered, though these can be unreliable. People also thought that E-Day was going to release on PS5 because Microsoft brought Gears of War: Reloaded to PS5 in 2025. It was the first Gears game ever on a PlayStation platform. This may not have been the first time that Microsoft told one of its teams to stop working on a version of a game for Sony's console. Redfall director Harvey Smith said in an interview in 2023, following Microsoft's buyout of Bethesda, that Microsoft told him "No PS5."(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-says-we-havent-pulled-any-games-from-playstation-amid-redfall-discussion/1100-6512629/) At the time, Microsoft said it had not "pulled" any games from PlayStation(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-says-we-havent-pulled-any-games-from-playstation-amid-redfall-discussion/1100-6512629/), but it did not deny what Smith had said or that it had canceled a Redfall PS5 edition. E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are two of Microsoft's upcoming Xbox console exclusives, and more are coming as part of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma's efforts to "reset" the Xbox business and convince people to buy an Xbox.(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/is-xbox-fixable/) E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are not timed exclusives for Xbox on console, Microsoft has said, suggesting they will never come to PS5. At the same time, Greenberg said in 2021(https://x.com/aarongreenberg/status/1432466477945294849) that Starfield was not a timed exclusive on Xbox ... and then it came to PS5, so it was indeed a timed exclusive. During the Microsoft vs. FTC court case to help get Microsoft's blockbuster deal for Activision Blizzard across the line, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella discussed why he is so against exclusives on consoles(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-ceo-says-he-would-love-to-get-rid-of-xbox-exclusives-but-cant-because-of-sony/1100-6515563/). "If it was up to me I would love to get rid of the entire exclusives on consoles, but that’s not for me to define especially as a low-share player in the console market. The dominant player there Sony has defined market competition using exclusives, so that’s the world we live in. I have no love for that world." Things are different now. Microsoft is taking a case-by-case approach to exclusivity, as Halo: Campaign Evolved and the Fable reboot are still coming to PS5, and other games will as well. Under Xbox's previous leadership, including Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond, Microsoft began to release more of its games across competing platforms in an effort to reach more people, and make more money. The plan seemed to have worked, at least in some cases, as Forza Horizon 5 alone made more than $300 million on PS5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-xbox-game-just-passed-300-million-in-revenue-on-ps5-report-says/1100-6537323/). Xbox's new chief strategy officer, Matthew Ball, recently discussed how Xbox--as a brand and a business--"languished"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/is-xbox-fixable/) under Spencer and Bond.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformSummer Game Fest’s missing games include GTA 6, Mass Effect 5, and more
Games like Kingdom Hearts 4 and the third Star Wars Jedi game were conspicuously absent from this summer's showcases.
🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, Multi-platformGTA 6 Gets Its Barbenheimer As Barbie Compilation Sets A November Release
So many game publishers are trying to get their titles out of the shadow of Grand Theft Auto 6, leading to a comically crowded September this year(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/september-2026-is-packed-with-games-trying-to-avoid-gta-6/). But Atari isn't blinking, releasing--of all things--a collection of classic Barbie games exactly a week before Rockstar's behemoth. Developed by Digital Eclipse, Barbie Rewind is a compilation of 16 Barbie games released between 1991 and 2007. It's out on November 12 on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and both Nintendo Switch platforms. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/now-you-can-beat-gta-6-answers-out-of-the-take-two-boss-in-wwe-2k26/) is presumably shaking in his boots. The full list of included titles hasn't been revealed yet, but one of the announced games is the previously unreleased Barbie: Vacation Adventure, giving the collection a sort of Star Fox 2 moment. https://youtu.be/Z1DFzLE90tA?si=L95XvX6cOBs2rGL Barbie Rewind isn't the only Atari release on GTA 6's month--the company is also putting out a remastered version of Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX2wMFS0S5A) on all modern platforms on November 3, 16 days before GTA launches. Remasters and retro compilations are relatively low-key releases compared to modern blockbuster games, so it's doubtful that Atari wants the attention that other big game companies fear losing to GTA 6. On the other hand, Barbie Rewind's close proximity to Rockstar's blockbuster makes for some hilarious counterprogramming, and it would be amusing to see fans and Atari itself try to capitalize on this, similar to the Barbenheimer phenomenon in 2023(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-barbie-oppenheimer-double-feature-demand-is-real-amc-has-sold-20000-tickets/1100-6515821/). We know for certain that Devolver Digital plans to deliberately release a game on the same day as GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/devolver-re-commits-to-releasing-a-game-on-the-same-day-as-gta-6-after-delay/1100-6531291/), though such plans are unclear, other than the publisher still seems committed to this stunt(https://x.com/devolverdigital/status/2062169621931631041?s=20). We'll see what it has to add to Grand Theft Barbie: Destroy All Monsters, or whatever people decide to call November.

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformGet Another Look At Halo: Campaign Evolved In New Cinematic Story Trailer
!Halo Campaign Evolved Cinematic Story Trailer Screens(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/08/88794dec/halo1.jpg.webp) We got a dose of Master Chief during yesterday's 2026 Summer Xbox Games Showcase(https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2026/06/07/heres-everything-announced-during-the-2026-summer-xbox-games), along with a July 28 release date(https://www.gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2026/06/07/heres-the-release-date-for-halo-campaign-evolved-and-some-footage-of) for the upcoming Halo: Campaign Evolved. Now, developer Halo Studios has released another look, this time a cinematic story trailer that highlights the Spartan's journey in the game (and even shows it running on a PlayStation 5). Running more than three minutes, this cinematic story trailer is chock-full of cutscenes from Halo: Campaign Evolved and gameplay moments from the classic missions of the shooter. "After crash landing on a mysterious ringworld known as Halo, the Master Chief is tasked with defending humanity against an overwhelming alien force: the Covenant," the trailer description reads. "With the help of his AI companion Cortana, the Chief must uncover Halo's dark secrets and fight to avert the annihilation of all life in the galaxy." Check it out in the Halo: Campaign Evolved story trailer below: Halo: Campaign Evolved will not feature any PvP multiplayer elements, as the game's name implies. It's an Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved, but it also includes three prequel missions starring Chief and Sergeant Johnson(https://www.gameinformer.com/2025/10/24/halo-campaign-evolved-coming-to-ps5-xbox-and-pc-remakes-halo-1s-story-with-new-content). Halo: Campaign Evolved launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 28. Are you going to play Halo: Campaign Evolved on PlayStation 5? Let us know in the comments below!

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platform'The Blood Of Dawnwalker: The Art Of The Game' Arrives This November From Titan Books
!The Blood of Dawnwalker Dark Horse Art Book Cover Reveal(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/6acf130d/artdawnwalkerheader.jpg.webp) Game Informer can exclusively reveal that The Blood of Dawnwalker(https://www.gameinformer.com/product/the-blood-of-dawnwalker), the vampire RPG launching this September that's also our current cover story game(https://gameinformer.com/dawnwalker), is getting the art book treatment later this year. More specifically, The Blood of Dawnwalker: The Art of the Game will be published on November 24, just a couple of months after the debut game from Rebel Wolves launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on September 3(https://www.gameinformer.com/2026/04/28/the-blood-of-dawnwalker-the-vampire-rpg-from-former-witcher-3-and-cyberpunk-2077-devs). Titan Books is publishing the art book, which is set to feature 192 pages of artwork, behind-the-scenes insight, and exclusive interviews exploring the creation of this new world. It's being authored by Matthew Pellett, a veteran magazine editor and gaming consultant whose writing contributions include bylines at Edge, PC Gamer, Official Xbox Magazine, Nintendo Gamer, and more. It will be published as a hardcover book for $50. Here's a look at the official cover for The Blood of Dawnwalker: The Art of the Game: !Game Informer News(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/06/05/f6dc92ab/blood-of-the-dawnwalker-sale-cover-003.jpg.webp) For the uninitiated, The Blood of Dawnwalker sees Rebel Wolves draw on their veteran experience and history working on RPGs like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 to deliver a vampiric story set in 14th-century Europe. As the Black Death plague spreads across the wartorn lands, vampires seize on the opportunity to leave the shadows and claim what they feel denied of for centuries: freedom and power.
