Lara Croft's big comeback at the hands of Amazon has hit yet another hitch.

Halo has a proud history of smuggling secret endings into its campaigns. In the very first 2001 game, there is a hidden (non-canon) ending featuring Sgt. Avery Johnson fighting and hugging an Elite. In Halo 2, there's a mid-credits scene that teases the beginning of Halo 3. In Halo 3, we get a full scene of Chief drifting, alone, in the cold, indifferent vacuum of space. ODST gives us a glimpse of the Engineers' secret. And in Reach, my personal favourite, we get that phenomenal 'Lone Wolf' ending that still sends shivers down my spine to think about today.

You can see it in so many aspects of the way the games are curated: the way certain musical sequences are teased as motifs, and then brought in, full-throated, for certain boss fights; the redesigns of (in)famous monsters, and how certain major enemies are deployed in slightly remixed ways for maximum effect; the reinterpretation and reimagination of dialogue to better fit the bigger, more complex world of 'the Planet' in 2020's version of the world compared to 1997's.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has chimed in on the debate surrounding Sony's planned shift away from physical disc production, stating he doesn't think it will "disturb" the industry too much. Read more

It looks like we've had our first hint as to what we can expec next from the Kingdom Come stuido, Warhorse. We only heard back in May this year that a third Kingdom Come RPG may be released sooner we expected, and it seems like the barely-announced title already has a name. Read more

In a surefire sign Hollywood has reached the desperation stage of its insatiable hunger for video game properties to swallow up and spit out in dubiously recognisable big-screen form, Atari has somewhat improbably announced a deal with Universal Pictures to produce ten movies based on classic retro games from its expansive backcatalogue, including Pong, Breakout, and more.

Sega is the latest publisher to make its views about physical media clear, in the wake of Sony's controversial decision to kill off the manufacture and sale of discs by 2028. The president of the Japanese publisher, Shuji Utsumi, noted that he believes physical media is still important, though digital distribution is "crucial", mostly thanks to the "steadily increasing" number of people playing on PC.
