KPop Demon Hunters' fictional bands have become some of the hottest musical acts on the planet since the Netflix animated film released in June--but before Huntrix and Saja Boys were tearing up the charts, a quartet of League of Legends characters were making waves in virtual K-pop.Even before KPop Demon Hunters was released, the film's fictional K-pop band was seeing comparisons to Riot Games' virtual girl group, K/DA. It's not a stretch to spot the similarities--two animated girl groups releasing catchy K-pop anthems in between fighting enemies with signature weapons and battle costumes. Even some of the costumes and color schemes feel familiar, and both groups have collaborated with real-world K-pop girl group Twice.Though it feels likely that the team behind KPop Demon Hunters was inspired by K/DA, it hasn't commented much on the comparison. One of the only official references to K/DA comes from KPop Demon Hunters' music supervisor Ian Eisendrath, who confirms that Riot's virtual band was "one of our many influences" for Huntrix's musical sound. Eisendrath adds that K/DA was just one of "8-12 references" that was mainly used to "envision what these songs could sound like."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Mega Man Funko Fusion Figure $15 | Releases December 15 Preorder at Amazon Funko Fusion didn't set the world on fire when it released last year, but at least it's giving us some cool Funko collectibles. We've already seen figures based on Battlestar Galactica, Shaun of the Dead, and The Thing, and soon we can add Mega Man to that list. The Mega Man Funko Fusion figure is now available to preorder for $15 ahead of its December 27 release date. The figure will come in a standard version that captures the hero's original blue design, and a rare Chase variant that gives the character a zombified makeover. Alongside the Blue Bomber, Funko also announced Funko Fusion figures based on Colonel Sanders, Invincible, and Five Nights at Freddy's. Mega Man Funko Fusion Figure $15 | Releases December 15 This new Mega Man Funko Fusion vinyl figure features Capcom's retro icon in his classic blue armor and helmet, with a blue energy blast firing from his arm cannon. Like all Funko Pops, this one does not have any articulated joints, but it should make for a fun addition to your game room or home office. If you're lucky, you might land the Chase variant of the Mega Man Funko Fusion, which "zombifies" the character, turning his eyes white, his skin pale, and adding flecks of green goo across his armor. Like all Chase variants, there's about a 1/6 chance to find it. Preorder at Amazon Mega Man Funko Fusion Standard and Chase VariantsThe vinyl is arriving alongside the Funko Fusion: Deluxe Edition video game, which adds several new, exclusive characters to the game. Our Funko Fusion review gave it a 4/10, though folks looking for a quirky cooperative game with constant references to pop culture icons will probably find something to enjoy about the adventure. The main reason to pick up this new $40 Deluxe Edition is for all the new playable characters from several popular movies and TV shows. Here's a look at the new characters in the Deluxe Edition:Wicked: The Wizard, Madame Morrible, Elphaba, Glinda, Prince Fiyero, and Shiz variants of Elphaba and GlindaUniversal Monsters: Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, Invisible Man, Wolf ManThe Office: Michael, Dwight, Jim, PamThe Funko Fusion standard edition is also available for $20 on PS5, PS4, Switch, and Xbox Series X. While the base version lacks the additional content and characters from the new Deluxe Edition, it does include Mega Man in its playable roster.Continue Reading at GameSpot

A decade is a long period of time, but for Metal Gear Solid fans, it's an eternity. Fortunately, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater launches at the end of the month, bringing a classic from the original series into the modern age of gaming. But beyond that? Expect the future of Metal Gear Solid to be handed over to a new generation of developers.Metal Gear veterans Noriaki Okamura and Yuji Korekado recently spoke about how they were preparing to hand over the franchise to a younger team if Konami ever decides to produce a brand-new Metal Gear Solid game."One of the reasons why we brought in a lot of fresh meat--all the new, younger developers--is because, not only did we want to give them a chance to figure out how to create and develop a Metal Gear game, but also give them a chance to experience the game themselves, Okamura said to Rolling Stone. "And well still be here for a while, but right now the goal is to build a team that could carry on the legacy on our behalf and could produce, hopefully in the future, more exciting games."Continue Reading at GameSpot

Unlike past Call of Duty games, this year's Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will not allow players to choose a difficulty level for the campaign. Associate creative director Miles Leslie said that the difficulty scale for Black Ops 7 is "baked in" as opposed to being something a player can choose.The reason for this comes down to how Black Ops 7's campaign can be played in co-op."We've built it for solo or four-player squads as well. You cannot pick a difficulty like past games. We've baked it in because you have to approach a co-op campaign differently, and we wanted to make sure the missions felt right for solo players," Leslie told IGN.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Snake's Nightmare makes its way back in Metal Gear Solid : Snake Eater. Fight your way through this fun mini-game with a pair of hook swords. After you've been put in Groznyj Grad Torture Room save your game and reload and it will load into the mini-game. Enjoy!

Platinum Games, the developer of acclaimed action titles including Bayonetta and Nier: Automata, contributed to the development of Konami's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, Konami has confirmed. Specifically, Platinum created a new version of Snake's Nightmare, an Easter egg that longtime fans of MGS3 will no doubt relish the return of.Snake's Nightmare is a third-person action sequence that is accessed by saving the game when Snake is captured and thrown in prison. When the save file is reloaded, instead of going back to the prison, players wake up in a hellish otherworld where a mysterious man wielding hook-swords takes on demons in a graveyard.The minigame, also known to fans as Guy Savage, was originally written and directed by Shuyo Murata, who contributed to a number of other Metal Gear Solid projects as part of the original Kojima Productions team. Although Metal Gear Solid 3 has been re-released in various forms since its debut on the PlayStation 2, Snake's Nightmare/Guy Savage has been omitted in the majority of them.Continue Reading at GameSpot

There's a good chance that, at some point in your life, you've been so enamored of a piece of media that you've considered what it'd be like to experience it for the first time again. Watching Terminator 2, hearing Enter the Wu-Tang, and reading The Dark Knight Returns shaped who I am and, as a result, I remember the moments I experienced them with crystal clarity. Over time, however, those memories have become divorced from the emotions they stirred and what's left in their place is a longing for those lost feelings.Video games are the only medium that I think are capable of making that first-time-again fantasy a reality--or as close to one as we're going to get. Time puts distance between us and the emotionally significant moments we cherish, but it also brings us closer to exciting technologies that can make the old feel new. In the right hands, those technologies can create opportunities to stoke those profound emotions again, even if it's just a little. Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater does exactly that.Before getting into what's new, what can't be overlooked in making Delta such a good game is the fact that Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remains a compelling, well-told story that has strong characterization and deals with some heavy subject matter. It approaches this with a strange mixture of self-seriousness and complete irreverence that is uniquely Metal Gear Solid and, for my money, balances both parts better than any other entry in the series. The stellar stealth is supported by systems that feed into the fantasy of surviving in the jungle and braving the elements, whether that be hunting for food or patching yourself up after sustaining injuries. Delta replicates it and, in my opinion, is better for it. The excellent work that the original Metal Gear Solid 3 dev team did remains the heart and soul of Delta, and it continues to shine.Continue Reading at GameSpot

The first trailer for Devil May Cry: Season 2 has been revealed, showing off more of what fans can expect from producer and showrunner Adi Shankar's animated take on the cult-classic Capcom games. This time, Devil May Cry is using one of the best tricks from the games, as it's adding Dante's brother Vergil to its anime-inspired universe. The new season will land on Netflix in 2026, and you can check out the first trailer for it below. Devil May Cry's first season laid the groundwork for a brewing war between humanity and the demon realm, ending with a very unsubtle parallel to the 2003 Second Gulf War. Back in June, Shankar spoke about how Season 2 will differ from the first, explaining that Dante will start to level up and evolve across this new batch of episodes.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Collect all DK Lego Sets Donkey Kong Bananza fans who want to spend even more time with DK and his crew should check out the retired Lego Super Mario: Donkey Kong building sets at Amazon while you can.

Unfortunately, these builds were officially retired late last year and disappeared from nearly all storefronts. But a couple months back, Amazon restocked all four retired Donkey Kong Lego sets, including the hard-to-find Donkey Kong Tree House.

Fanatical has launched a new Summer Superstars Collection Bundle, giving you the chance to grab up to 22 PC games for as little as $6.60 each. The curated list has some pretty good titles in the mix, ranging from an acclaimed Hideo Kojima game to a colorful Zelda-like set in the Austrian Alps. Pricing starts at two games for $15 ($7.50 per key), and the price will drop the more games you choose from the list. If you choose three or more games, you'll pay $7.15 per key, and if you choose five or more games, the price drops further to $6.60 per key. There's no limit to how many games you can select, and if you grab all 22 games, you'll pay $145--a pretty big discount from the full bundle's $519 value. See bundle at Fanatical Kicking things off is Death Stranding: Director's Cut. Hideo Kojima's first game after his departure from Konami, Death Stranding is a strange but engaging game about getting cargo from point A to B while being mindful of the terrain, rain that steals time, and invisible dead creatures known as BTs. It has a slow start, but once things pick up, the game quickly evolves into a breathtaking tour of the US. This is the Director's Cut as well, so you're getting numerous enhancements and gameplay refinements. Since the sequel has just come out on PS5--and has been critically acclaimed--this is a great way to jump into the world of Death Stranding before Death Stranding 2: On the Beach makes its way to PC eventually.Our other big recommendation is Dungeons of Hinterberg. Imagine The Legend of Zelda if it were a European comic book, and you'll have a good idea of what you can expect from the game's visuals and vibe. The game features a robust system of socializing, as you'll need to brave dungeons and the nightlife of a scenic Austrian village, building bonds with your fellow adventurers.Continue Reading at GameSpot

In February 2004, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor was a hit out of the gate when it sold one million copies during its first week in early access. Now, this top-down single-player shooter is ready for its full launch next month. And as announced at Gamescom, Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor is also heading to Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass. Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor will hit PC and Xbox Series X|S on September 17. GameSpot's Chris Pereira greatly enjoyed Survivor in early access, and compared it to Vampire Survivor. The game places players in control of a single dwarf miner, who can assume one of four classes: Driller, Engineer, Scout, and Gunner. Each class gives the dwarf different abilities and options as he explores Hoxxes IV, a procedurally generated planet filled with hostile aliens and riches beyond imagining.Ghost Ship Games set the date for Survivor's release earlier this year, while noting that the decision to launch forced the publisher to drop Endless Mode from the game. The devs at Funday Games noted that keeping Endless Mode posed several technical challenges that would have bogged down the game's release. However, there is still a plan to add Endless Mode to Survivor at a later date.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Double Fine just got weird with Xbox's money. We got to see 15-minutes of hands-off Keeper gameplay, and here are our 5 biggest takeaways.

Goddess of Victory: Nikke--the sci-fi-RPG gallery shooter on mobile and PC from the developer of Stellar Blade--is adding one of the most famous heroines in video game history to its roster. As teased during Gamescom, the Goddess of Victory: Nikke Resident Evil collaboration will feature Jill Valentine, one of the original RE game's main characters. The initial teaser features a cult as it prepares to take part in a gruesome ritual. Poli--one of the characters from Goddess of Victory--is briefly seen when she is grabbed by someone with a bloodstained hand. The initial trailer hid Jill's debut, but developer Shift Up subsequently confirmed it was her.Jill Valentine in Goddess of Victory: Nikke x Resident Evil.Shift Up also hinted that Jill may not be the only RE character to appear during this crossover. Further details about the collaboration's story and launch date are being withheld for now. But this isn't the first time that Goddess of Victory has been given a prominent crossover. Previous collaborations have included characters from Evangelion and Nier: Automata. There was even a collaboration between Stellar Blade and Goddess of Victory earlier this summer.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Lego Icons: Optimus Prime Transformers 2-in-1 (1,508 Pieces) $170 (was $180) | Restocked on August 20 See at Amazon See at Target See at Lego Store See at Walmart Lego added to its burgeoning series of Transformers 2-in-1 convertible models this month with a 1,505-piece Soundwave build. Unsurprisingly, the arrival of the first Decepticon Lego set created a surge of interest for Lego Icons: Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. The 1,508-piece Optimus Prime Lego figure sold out everywhere at the end of July, which has substantially inflated reseller prices. But Transformers fans don't need to overpay for Lego Optimus Prime, as Amazon just restocked its inventory and is offering a $10 discount. The $170 deal price isn't nearly as good as the $144 offer you could find before Soundwave joined the series, but it's a lot better than recent prices.Amazon is likely to sell out of the Optimus Prime deal. When that happens, check Target to see if the $173 offer is still in stock. The Autobot leader is out of stock at Walmart and on backorder from the Lego Store. Continue Reading at GameSpot

PS5 Slim Digital Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Bundle $400 | Valued at $570 starting August 21. See at PS Direct The PS5 Slim Digital Black Ops 6 bundle is in stock at PlayStation Direct for $400, but it probably won't be available for much longer. In what seemed like an inevitability, PlayStation announced hardware price increases in the US on PS5 consoles. All three models are increasing by $50 on August 21, which bumps the PS5 Slim Digital from $450 to $500.Released in May, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 PS5 Slim Digital bundle already offered terrific value at its $400 promotional price. Based on current prices, the bundle is valued at $520. Even if you don't care about Call of Duty, you're still saving $50 versus buying the console on its own. Based on the new PS5 prices, the savings doubles to $100 just for the console. Black Ops 6 is just the cherry on top here.PlayStation also released a regular PS5 Slim version of this bundle for $450, but it's no longer in stock at any retailers. Since this is a promotional console bundle, it's unlikely to increase in price alongside the standalone PS5 Slim Digital. But it's also unlikely to be in stock when the price increases go into effect.Continue Reading at GameSpot
