Startup developer Different Monster has announced Macabre Museum, a new four-player time-traveling co-op horror adventure game for PC. No release date has been given as of yet.

“We’ve been really inspired by nostalgic movies and TV shows, and that feeling you get when walking around a museum and just imagining what would happen if the mummy in the display case suddenly woke up!” Different Monster’s Creative Director said. Expect puzzle-solving plus plenty of combat with terrifying monsters as you travel from Ancient Egypt to Historic Mesoamerica and other museum-relevant time periods. Take a look at the game's first trailer above and its first screenshots in the gallery below.

IGN will have more on Macabre Museum as its development progresses. If you're interested you can wishlist the game on Steam.

Last week, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said new Call of Duty games will remain on PlayStation platforms for "at least several more years" after Activision's current contract with Sony expires. Now, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan is calling Spencer's offer "inadequate".

In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz, Ryan said he didn't intend to comment on the business discussion until Spencer brought it into the "public forum."

"Microsoft has only offered for Call of Duty to remain on PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends," Ryan said, "After almost 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposal was inadequate on many levels and failed to take account of the impact on our gamers. We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality Call of Duty experience, and Microsoft’s proposal undermines this principle."

Spencer recently confirmed that future Call of Duty entries will join Xbox Game Pass, but launch on PlayStation on the same day. There's no timetable yet as for which upcoming Activision Blizzard games will appear on Game Pass following Xbox's $68.7 billion acquisition of the company. Earlier this year, there were reports that Activision wanted to put Call of Duty 2022 (which is now confirmed to be Modern Warfare 2), Call of Duty 2023, and Warzone 2 on PlayStation. After that, though, the future is unclear.

This year's Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, is set to launch on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC, as usual. However, the Call of Duty series will seemingly see a shakeup after 2022, as 2023 will reportedly be the first year in nearly two decades without a new Call of Duty.

It again confirms that Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone will be the anti-hero’s main antagonists in the film.

“In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam was bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Black Adam. Nearly 5,000 years have passed and Black Adam has gone from man, to myth, to legend. Now released, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone,” the synopsis reads.

You can check out the character posters below:

The first trailer for the film dropped in early June, with a full reveal coming later on in July at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con 2022 — where Johnson introduced the panel by donning his iconic Black Adam suit in all its thunderous glory.

A trailer for the film also dropped then, which you can check out here.

This has long been a passion project for Johnson, who’s said to have dreamed of playing the character for years, and he was as excited to show off the film during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con 2022.

“The journey for Black Adam, it has been a long journey, fueled with passion, with commitment, with grit,” he said. “It’s been easily over 10 years. The journey has been an incredible one. I love coming to Comic-Con. To be here in Hall H, representing a DC anti-hero is a dream come true. The dream, having been in the business for years now, I’d bring movies here and hope you guys would like them but this is a dream come true.”

Black Adam is slated for release on October 21st; for our full trailer breakdown and analysis, stick to IGN!

CD Projekt Red has decided to end development of new content for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk 2077, confirming in an update note that future expansions, including the recently announced Phantom Liberty, will only be released on PC, PS5, Stadia and Xbox Series X|S.

Following Patch 1.6 (the Edgerunners Update), they’ll focus their attention and resources on the new-gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077; however, they’re still committed to and will continue to provide technical support for last gen versions of the game, according to the release.

“In practice, that means after Patch 1.6 your game will continue to work on previous-gen consoles and we will continue to provide technical support to players — as we do with all our other games,” the release reads. “However, new content updates and improvements will no longer be available for previous-gen consoles, including the upcoming expansion.”

CD Projekt Red stressed that though the decision to end the development of future content was a “difficult decision,” they chose to do so because they believe that the scope of the expansion makes “releasing it for previous-gen consoles technologically challenging without compromising player experience.”

The game has been plagued with controversy since its initial launch in December of 2020, as it’s been riddled with bugs, glitches and performance issues that made the game virtually unplayable for some on last generation consoles.

Since then, CD Projekt Red has been able to mitigate these issues by releasing patches and hotfixes to improve the game’s issues — overhauling in-game systems and gameplay mechanics in their attempt to meet the vision and version of the game they’d set out to build.

It now seems they believe to have succeeded and are ready to move on to expand the game on the consoles that are built to handle it.

"We believe Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is in a good place, and that now is the right time to shift our focus and start looking forward," CD Projekt's statement says.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Flashpoint Beyond #5!

The Joker remains Gotham City's greatest enigma. Who was he before becoming an insane criminal mastermind? Did he actually have a family? What is his real name? While there's a lot we may never know where Joker's origin story is concerned, one of those questions is finally answered in the pages of Flashpoint Beyond.

A sequel to 2011's Flashpoint, Flashpoint Beyond follows the Thomas Wayne of this alternate timeline as he comes to terms with the sudden return of his old reality and hunts for the elusive Clockwork Killer. That serial killer has since been revealed to be Martha Wayne, who became the Joker of the Flashpoint timeline after her son Bruce was murdered in Crime Alley.

In issue #5, Thomas confronts his estranged wife in her cell at Arkham Asylum. Martha reveals that she forced Psycho-Pirate (a villain notable for having extensive knowledge of the multiverse) to reveal everything he knew about the main DC Universe timeline, including the identity of that world's Joker. His real name is Jack Oswald White.

Martha reveals that she even paid a visit to the Flashpoint version of Jack Oswald White, discovering him to be a struggling family man supporting his wife and child through a janitorial job at Wayne Casino. But despite living in poverty, this version of Jack is happy, never undergoing the same traumatic ordeal as seen in Batman: The Killing Joke.

This isn't the first time a Batman story has revealed Joker's real name. 1989's Batman depicts him as a gangster named Jack Napier, a name that later carried over to the comics via the alternate universe of Batman: White Knight. 2019's Joker, meanwhile, casts Joaquin Phoenix as struggling comedian Arthur Fleck. But this is the first time Joker has been given a name in the core DC Comics continuity.

Of course, as Joker famously said, the past is multiple choice. There's always room for doubt and interpretation with this villain. It's also worth remembering that co-writer Geoff Johns previously introduced the plot twist that there are actually three Jokers in the DCU. While Batman: Three Jokers may or may not be part of the official DC canon, one could argue that this reveal still leaves the true identity of the other two Jokers up in the air.

Do you like the name Jack Oswald White? Is this a name DC should have kept shrouded in mystery? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

In other Batman news, the classic Hush storyline is getting a new companion story in the upcoming Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, and Gotham Knights: Gilded City is fleshing out the world of the upcoming video game.
