The tagline for the original 1979 Alien film famously said that "in space, no one can hear you scream." What that expression neglected to mention is that the Xenomorphs appear to have very good hearing, and they seem to pick up on almost every sound in a spaceship or colony. That ability is on full display in a new preview clip from the next film in the franchise, Alien: Romulus. The clip features Isabela Merced as Kay, one of the ill-fated group of young people who thought it would be a good idea to scavenge materials from derelict ships. In this scene, Kay is unarmed and attempting to slip by a Xenomorph. And the alien in question seems to be actively looking for Kay and listening intently as she tries to stay as quiet as possible. It's reminiscent of the way Jane Levy's character hid from Don't Breathe's blind killer, Norman Nordstrom (Stephen Lang).Regardless of Kay's best efforts, she's still caught off guard when a Xenomorph appears close by and drags away two bodies. It's difficult to tell if the bodies came from Kay's crew or if they were originally stationed on the ship that's now overrun by facehuggers and Xenomorphs.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Xbox has graciously alleviated some of the mounting pressure as we head into the final months of 2024, delaying Avowed until early next year. Avowed is now set to launch on February 18, 2025.Though it's a shame that we'll have to wait a bit longer to play Obsidian Entertainment's action RPG, this does mean the already crowded fall line-up of games is a tad more manageable and easier on the wallet. Instead of Avowed competing against the likes of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Assassin's Creed Shadows this holiday season, it will launch during the (currently) sparser start of 2025.So many games coming! As such, we're moving Avowed to Feb 18, 2025 to give players backlogs some breathing room.Stay tuned for more from our games across Activision, Blizzard, Bethesda & Xbox Game Studios at gamescom, including our Aug 23 livestream for a look at Avowed: pic.twitter.com/3RnyVwlHRa Xbox (@Xbox) August 2, 2024 In the announcement of the delay, Xbox teased that more details for games across the company's portfolio--including Activision, Blizzard, and Bethesda titles--will be revealed during gamescom. Avowed will also be the primary focus of Xbox's planned livestream for August 23, when we'll see more of the upcoming action RPG.Continue Reading at GameSpot
