Summer Movie Preview: From Black Widow to The Suicide Squad and Beyond

The summer movie season has returned. Finally. Once something we all just took for granted, like handshakes and indoor dining, a summertime season stuffed with pricy Hollywood blockbusters and cinematic escapism suddenly feels like a long lost friend. But, rest assured, the summer movie season is genuinely and truly here. It’s maybe a little later than normal, yet it’s still in time for Memorial Day in the States. This is of course happy news since many of the big screen events of this year have been 12 months or more in the offing. A Quiet Place Part II was supposed…

Winter 2021 TV Preview

Every New Year’s celebration comes along with some excitement, pomp, and circumstance, but rarely has the countdown from 10 felt more urgent in the waning seconds of 2020. Yes, 2020 is just a number and yes, time is just an abstract concept created to explain celestial bodies moving around one another. But darn it all, it still feels great to see “2021” at the top of this article. 2021 will hopefully come along with some good news (though admittedly early signs aren’t looking great on that front). At the very least, however, it should come along with some interesting TV…

Doctor Who: Revolution of the Daleks Preview

“Hi, Chris, any chance you could pen us a spoiler-free review of the Doctor Who special?” Well… Not really, no. Not that we’d ever risk giving the game away ahead of the upcoming New Year’s Day adventure (a ‘Festive Special’, as the BBC have termed it) but the thing is, this is a very story-driven episode with lots we’d rather not spoil. To be able to examine its quality in any meaningful way means diving into the details – in particular, decisions certain characters make and how well the episode delivers on its premise, all of which we’ll obviously be…

New World: Hands-on Preview of the Amazon MMO’s Reekwater Region

Back in August, Amazon Games invited Den of Geek to play its forthcoming game New World, an MMO set in a fantastical version of Earth inspired by the Age of Exploration, where magic and gunpowder coexist and adventurers duke it out on the mysterious island of Aeternum to take control of different territories in 50v50 battles. I participated in one of these battles in my first preview and was generally impressed with the tighter-than-average MMO combat and gigantic sense of scale. Earlier this week, I got another chance to go hands-on with an alpha version of the game, and this…

Immortals: Fenyx Rising Hands-on Preview Shows How the Game Is Inspired by Zelda: Breath of the Wild

In October, Den of Geek got four hours of hands-on playtime with Ubisoft’s upcoming action-adventure fantasy title Immortals: Fenyx Rising. In the online demo, which was guided by a Ubisoft demoist, we got to see a bit of the game’s open-world setting, the Golden Isle, which is heavily inspired by the milieu of Greek mythology. The game is vast, epic-looking, and from what I’ve played so far, has engaging combat and gameplay loops that should fill out its open world nicely. The story revolves around a dark titan named Typhon, who was banished to the underworld of Tartaros by Zeus…

A.P. Bio Season 3 Preview: School’s Back In Session

WATCH OUR EXCLUSIVE PANEL INTERVIEW BELOW! A.P. Bio Season 3 Preview A.P. Bio star Glenn Howerton wants to make one thing very clear about the show’s move from NBC to Peacock: it wasn’t canceled… or at least not canceled in the traditional sense of the term. “This has always been misrepresented a little bit,” Howerton says. “The show did OK on NBC but not great. And certainly not good enough for them to pick it up. But it was always my understanding that the show kind of crushed it on Hulu. Then Hulu wasn’t doing work with NBC Universal anymore.…

Cobra Kai Season 3 is officially set to premiere on Netflix in 2021. The series—a contemporary-set sequel to the 1980s cinematic splendor of The Karate Kid franchise—has enjoyed the status of an acclaimed cult favorite scripted standout on streaming service YouTube Premium before it exited the content-shrunken platform this past May, only to be snapped up by Netflix in June. Now, Cobra Kai is heralding the Netflix premiere of Seasons 1 and 2 this Friday with a trailer that serves the dual purpose of providing a quick synopsis of the two existing seasons and revealing the heretofore mysterious plans for…

New World: Hands-on Preview of Amazon’s New MMO

New World, a new MMO title from Amazon, is the tech company’s second video game offering after its online shooter Crucible had a less than stellar launch earlier this year. With this new take on the well-trodden PC genre, Amazon hopes to put its fledgling game division back on course. Developed by Relentless Studios, the game is set in the 16th century during the “Age of Exploration,” on the mysterious island of Aeturnum. Magic, historical weapons, and firearms coexist in the folkloric setting, as three factions battle it out over territory and resources on the creature-infested island. The game is…

Godfall Combat Preview Showcases PlayStation 5 Gameplay

The Godfall team revealed an extensive gameplay preview of the upcoming PS5 title during Sony’s latest State of Play event and shed some light on how this exciting title will distinguish itself from some considerable competition. While much of the latest preview focused on Godfall‘s combat mechanics, the star of this show was the game’s five main weapon types: Dual Blades, Longswords, Polearms, Two-Handed Warhammers, and Two-Handed Greatswords. As you might imagine, each type of weapon will handle differently than the other. For instance, Dual Blades will be faster while Longswords offer a more balanced and precise way to deal…

Mafia: Definitive Edition Gameplay Preview Showcases Impressive Remake

Developer Hangar 13 has released an extensive (and stunning) gameplay preview of Mafia: Definitive Edition. The preview’s primary message seems to be that Mafia: Definitive Edition will retain as much of the original game as the team feels is possible and necessary. As mentioned in this gameplay preview, Hangar 13 is especially interested in retaining and reviving the memorable missions from 2002’s Mafia. We even get a look at that racing mission from the original game which ranks highly among the most frustrating levels in gaming history. That said, this is a remake of the original game, which means that…
