Epic’s Store Isn’t Ready for All Its Exclusives
As more and more PC games are starting to favor Epic Games Store exclusivity, the thought that it’s the first real threat to Steam is becoming increasingly likely. The first big game to abandon Steam was The Division 2, but Metro Exodus recently removed itself with little warning just weeks before launch, and players are understandably upset.
Frankly, I thought these kinds of high profile games camping out at the Epic Games Store would take a whole lot longer. I figured Epic would make it an enticing place for developers, but I didn’t think we’d see an exodus (sorry) of this nature so quickly. Primarily because the Epic Games store just isn’t really ready to be the sole platform for such big games.
PS5 Games We Think May Already Be in Development
As next-gen discussion continues to point us toward what we can expect from the PS5 and Next-Xbox, a new report suggests Sony’s first-party efforts are now allegedly focusing mostly on PS5.
Of course, we still have three big, announced first-party games set to come to the PS4, but, if Sony is doubling down on next-gen efforts, could these games be making the jump to next-gen?
We’ve decided to take a look at what first- and third-party games that we already know are in development for the PS4 are likely already in production for the PS5 (possibly cross-gen, or with efforts looking just toward the next generation), even if we’re not necessarily in a rush for Sony’s next-gen console.

Heroes in Crisis: Is This DC Icon the True Killer?
The central murder mystery behind DC's Heroes in Crisis has just grown more complicated.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Heroes in Crisis #5!
This series opened with a horrific massacre at Sanctuary, a place intended to serve as a safe haven for psychologically troubled heroes. The first issue implicated Booster Gold as the killer, but this new chapter casts doubt on that revelation. Based on clues in issue #5, The Flash (Wally West) may be the true murderer, even though he was among the dead at Sanctuary.

7 Detective Stories The Batman Could Adapt
There's finally new momentum on The Batman, the next big-screen, live-action Batman movie. Director Matt Reeves has revealed that the plot will diverge from past Batman projects by focusing more on Batman's detective abilities, emphasizing a rogues gallery and offering a more mystery, Noir-influenced take on Gotham City.
Just how closely The Batman -- the movie's title for now -- will draw from DC's Batman comics remains to be seen. However, we can think of several classic detective stories that check all of Reeves' boxes.
Here are seven Batman comics that could wind up inspiring the new movie. Check out our slideshow or scroll down to see our picks.
