🎮 Multi-platformWeapons Director Zach Cregger's Resident Evil Movie Doesn't Look Like The Games, But It Does Look Awesome
!Zach Cregger Resident Evil Movie Film Adaptation Zombies Barbarian Weapons(https://www.gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/04/30/6d1f5db9/residentevil2.jpg.webp) There's never really been a shortage of movies(https://gameinformer.com/2021/08/30/first-official-resident-evil-movie-reboot-photos-of-welcome-to-raccoon-city-and-new) based on Capcom's long-running survival horror franchise, Resident Evil(https://gameinformer.com/product/resident-evil-requiem), but how good (or bad) each one is varies from person to person. Nonetheless, Capcom and Sony Pictures Entertainment are set to bring yet another Resident Evil movie to silver screens this November, and it's a picture directed by Barbarian and Weapons' Zach Cregger. The first teaser trailer for the movie, which is aptly titled Resident Evil, dropped today and while it doesn't really look like any of the games, it sure does look awesome. When I say it doesn't look like the games, I mean there's no real connective tissue between it and Capcom's games, nor are there any major references to their events, characters, or settings. That said, the new main character in the trailer is certainly enduring some very Resident Evil-like events, from running from zombies to running through various locales, including farms and cities, to using shotguns and more. And on that front, this movie looks awesome, and considering how great Barbarian and Weapons are, I am officially stoked for Resident Evil. Check out the Resident Evil teaser trailer for yourself below: Resident Evil hits theaters on September 18.

🎮 Multi-platformAnbernic’s new rotating screen handheld will start at less than $100
Following its sliding screen handheld that debuted last June with a design that some reviewers found to be too chunky and thick, Anbernic has shared more details about its new rotating screen handheld that looks more pocketable. The RG Rotate (Anbernic has never been known for its clever device naming) will be available for preorder &8230;
🎮 Multi-platform007 First Light Could Be 2026's Game Of The Year And The Best Bond Game Ever
James Bond is no stranger to video games, but has only lived up to the prestige of his films once with GoldenEye 64, a game beloved for its pioneering first-person-shooter design, generation-defining multiplayer, and absurdly good soundtrack. Although the Bond games that followed it never received the same level of acclaim, they still enjoyed some success. In a medium fixated on coming up with new ways to make firing guns and employing gadgets fun, it's no surprise that Bond games sustained interest through multiple eras. The fantasy of being a secret agent--James Bond in particular--is enduring, and the wish-fulfillment opportunities video games present are unmatched. GoldenEye 64 aside, Bond games haven't been where innovations happen in the spy game genre. However, the effectiveness with which they realize the fantasy of being a globe-trotting, gun-toting, silver-tongued cop in a tuxedo has often offered good markers of how the action genre's design and tastes around it have evolved. After 2004's Everything or Nothing, however, Bond games became mediocre tie-ins, nostalgia bait, or both.

🎮 Multi-platformRude For Apex Legends To Tease Me With A Cool Battle Racer Idea Just For New Hero Reveal
Destruction AllStars(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destruction-allstars-narrative-hook-was-always-part-of-the-plan/1100-6491021/) and Onrush(https://www.gamespot.com/games/onrush/) were deeply underappreciated games that deserved way more players than they each got, and I have held fast that the continued lack of the "hero" formula in racing/derby games is a crime. So you can imagine my anguish when Apex Legends(https://www.gamespot.com/games/apex-legends/) Season 29, titled Overclocked, teased its next playable character with a cinematic trailer(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb00PDb7eqM) that reveals her racing origins before reiterating that she's being added to a battle royale, not a battle racer. Now, I know that Apex Legends has always been and will always be a shooter. Respawn is not going to make a brand-new mode in an entirely different style of game just because of one character's backstory or my wish to see Apex Legends' universe expanded in more gaming genres. But dammit, there's just such a huge narrative and gameplay draw to what's otherwise some throwaway clips in a short cinematic trailer. The glimpse of this battle race is brief, but it is memorable--I want to play as unique racers who speed through obstacles in the Mad Max-looking world of Salvo! Hell, why wasn't that the mobile spin-off(https://www.gamespot.com/games/apex-legends-mobile/)? !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scalesuper/1587/15875866/4690657-axleloreart.jpg)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/scalesuper/1587/15875866/4690657-axleloreart.jpg) My selfish dreams aside, Overclocked's new racer-turned-legend, who goes by the codename of Axle, looks like a very cool and awesome addition to the game. As an Octane main, Axle's need for speed is immediately appealing--I haven't been this excited about a new playable legend since Season 9's Valkyrie, who was also all about movement but specifically through the skies. So you're off the hook Respawn (for now), but I'm watching y'all--you can't expect to tease me with the idea of a hero battle racer in the Titanfall/Apex Legends universe and then just expect me to forget about how amazing an idea that is.

🎮 Multi-platformPetit Planet preview: HoYoverse's first foray into family-friendly games is very careful to colour within the lines
!(https://assetsio.gnwcdn.com/petit-planetStardriftTestSplashscreen.png?width=690&quality=85&format=jpg&auto=webp) This isn't a complaint, but I can't help but feel like every new game I pick up at the moment is Animal Crossing(https://www.vg247.com/video-game-franchises/animal-crossing). Heartopia(https://www.vg247.com/games/heartopia)? Animal Crossing. Pokopia(https://www.vg247.com/games/pokemon-pokopia)? Animal Crossing. Tomodachi Life(https://www.vg247.com/games/tomodachi-life-living-the-dream)? You guessed it, Animal Crossing! I am unashamedly one of those people who thinks the gaming landscape of the 2020s peaked early when New Horizons(https://www.vg247.com/games/animal-crossing-new-horizons) gently shepherded us all through lockdown, so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that – now that we're well past the midpoint of the decade, I hate to remind you – a bunch of studios have come to the same conclusion, and either spun up their own take on the idea, or repurposed an existing IP to include more Animal Crossing-like elements.

🎮 Multi-platformGTA 6 Won't Have Product Placement, Exec Says
While Take-Two's NBA 2K franchise is known to feature real-world brands--and even Jake from State Farm himself(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/omg-jake-from-state-farm-is-in-nba-2k22/1100-6496140/)--don't expect the company's biggest franchise, GTA, to follow suit. Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick said at iicon this week in Las Vegas that fans should not expect product placement or brand integration deals in GTA 6(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/grand-theft-auto-6-everything-we-know/1100-6503729/). "We need to be true to the underlying intellectual property and we need to be true to our consumers," he said, as reported by Variety(https://variety.com/2026/gaming/news/gta-6-take-two-strauss-zelnick-zynga-iicon-conference-1236733784/). "It's a fictional world and everything in it is fictional. So we're not even at risk of doing brand partnerships because all the brands are made up. And I think that keeps us pure."

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformThe Next Big Star Wars Game Gets A Release Date
We're just a little more than five months away from the official launch of Star Wars: Galactic Racer. The game featuring landspeeders and podracers is set to release October 6 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Skim speeders are a totally new type of vehicle in a galaxy far, far away. Fuse Games founder and CEO Matt Webster previously stated that Lucasfilm helped them craft the racing machine, while also discussing how the racing genre is "crying out" for new ideas(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/star-wars-galactic-racer-dev-says-racing-genre-is-crying-out-for-fresh-ideas/1100-6538382/).

🎮 Multi-platformFortnite Players Can Watch 10 Minutes Of The Next Star Wars Movie In The Game Soon
Fortnite is celebrating the May the 4th Star Wars holiday in a big way, and that includes the game hosting a special screening of the upcoming Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu. On May 19, players can visit The Mandalorian and Grogu Watch Party Island to catch a "special message" from director Jon Favreau and see 10 minutes of footage from the film ahead of its theatrical release on May 22. This isn't the first time Fortnite is hosting a movie(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/watching-inception-through-fortnite-was-better-tha/1100-6479033/), and it may not be the last, as Disney's new CEO said Fortnite could play host to more movie showings in the future(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/disneys-new-ceo-teases-future-fortnite-collaborations-including-movie-premieres/1100-6538070/). !No Caption Provided(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1179/11799911/4690824-screenshot2026-04-30at9.54.24%E2%80%AFam.png)(https://www.gamespot.com/a/uploads/original/1179/11799911/4690824-screenshot2026-04-30at9.54.24%E2%80%AFam.png) Additionally, players can take on a special Mandalorian-themed mission on Nevarro where they will play as a deputy who collects bounties and defends the city from waves of enemies with the goal of finding Grogu.

🎮 Multi-platformAtomfall, Known As "British Fallout" To Some, Is Getting A TV Show
2025's action-survival game Atomfall, known by some as "British Fallout," is getting a TV show. Two Brothers Pictures has announced that it's secured the rights to make a TV adaptation of the Rebellion game, which just won Best British Game at the BAFTAs(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/bafta-games-awards-nominees-announced-clair-obscur-gets-12-nominations/2900-7570/). Rebellion will be involved, too. The game is inspired by the real-world Windscale nuclear disaster of 1957, with the action taking place inside a walled-in quarantine zone in the aftermath of the nuclear incident. In the game, players awake in the quarantine zone with no recollection of how they got there, with players seeking to find answers and ultimately a way out. Atomfall reached more than 3.7 million players globally, a number that was no doubt assisted by the game's inclusion on Xbox Game Pass. The TV show will "expand on the game's mythology while remaining faithful to its tone, themes, and British roots," according to a press release.

🎮 Multi-platformCall Of Duty Season 3 Reloaded Patch Notes Detail Changes To Weapons And Scorestreaks
Season 3 Reloaded goes live in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7(https://www.gamespot.com/games/call-of-duty-black-ops-7/) and Warzone(https://www.gamespot.com/games/call-of-duty-warzone/) on April 30, and the midseason patch notes reveal major changes for both games.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox CEO Reacts To Yet Another Disappointing Period For Xbox
Microsoft has released its latest earnings report(https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/investor/earnings/fy-2026-q3/more-personal-computing-performance), and while the company overall posted huge gains for revenue and profit, the Xbox division continued to show downward, negative trends. The tough times at Xbox are expected to continue as well, as Microsoft forecast further declines to come. The Xbox business has been slumping for some time, so this was just the latest quarter of declines for the gaming unit at Microsoft. Xbox is part of Microsoft's "More Personal Computing" division, and gaming revenue decreased by $380 million, or 7%. The decline was driven by lower content on Xbox content and services, and hardware results coming in softer. Xbox content and services dipped by 5%, while Xbox hardware revenue slumped by 33% due to fewer consoles sold. Gross margin for the entire More Personal Computing division increased by 6%, driven by Microsoft's advertising and gaming businesses, the company said. Additionally, a benefit to selling fewer consoles meant that cost of revenue decreased by 10%, falling to $584 million. That's not entirely attributable to lower Xbox sales, though, as Microsoft offers a variety of other hardware platforms.
