Warner Bros. Discovery has been trimming down their offerings on HBO Max, including abruptly removing several films from the streaming platform. They include sci-fi rom-com Moonshot, Superintelligence starring Melissa McCarthy, and the 2020 remake of Roald Dahl’s The Witches, plus three others. All the removed films were branded as “Max Originals.”

The removals were noted by a Reddit user in a post about the Batgirl movie being shelved with no plans for it to come out in theaters or streaming. One upcoming release, a reboot of the comedy film “House Party,” has also been removed from the release calendar for HBO Max.

Movies and series do leave streaming platforms all the time, but subscribers usually get a notice before those removals happen. In the past, HBO Max has released monthly updates on what’s arriving and leaving their service, but these six were removed without notice.

Moonshot was removed from HBO Max just a few months after its March release. There are also still several exclusives from Warner Bros. still available to watch on HBO Max. It, alongside the other removed films, are still available digitally for purchase or to rent elsewhere.

Last May, WarnerMedia and Discovery finalized a deal for $43 billion to merge into one in an effort to give other streaming giants like Netflix a run for their money. Then, a few months ago it was revealed that Discovery would bring together two streaming services: HBO Max and Discovery Plus.

Dead by Daylight is returning to Raccoon City with a new Resident Evil chapter tentatively titled Project W.

Behaviour Interactive, the developers of Dead by Daylight, previously worked with Capcom to bring Jill Valentine and Leon S. Kennedy to the game. Now, a new Resident Evil collaboration will bring two new survivors to The Fog: Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers.

But with new survivors means a new Killer and it’s none other than Albert Wesker or The Mastermind as he’s called in The Fog. Check out the first teaser trailer below.

Ada Wong is the series’ resident super spy while Rebecca Chambers is the young S.T.A.R.S. recruit and medic. Albert Wesker is a high-ranking Umbrella officer and is armed with super strength, a rush ability, and the power to infect victims with the Uroboros Virus which can be cured by First Aid Sprays littered through the map.

Alongside the new characters Project W will add an improved version of the Raccoon City Police Department. The map has received a complete quality of life update based on player feedback which includes splitting the Police Department into two separate Maps based on the West and East wings.

The West wing includes the S.T.A.R.S. Office, Dark Room, and Records Room while the East wing contains the Chief’s Office, Art Room, Rooftop, and more. There is also additional access to the front exterior section.

Dead by Daylight Project W is coming soon to all platforms. Also, check out Behaviour’s new game Meet Your Maker which was also announced during today’s livestream.

Dead By Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive is expanding its lineup with a new game called Meet Your Maker, a first-person building-and-raiding game where players design the levels.

As announced during the Behaviour Beyond livestream, the Canadian studio announced its next game to go alongside its hit horror game Dead By Daylight. Just like the studio’s PvP horror game, Meet Your Maker revolves around an asymmetrical PvP experience where players create maze-like levels called Outposts that other players must then work to infiltrate.

Check out the official reveal trailer below.

Set on a dying world, players will become the Custodian, a servant to a living experiment known as the Chimera. In order for the Chimera to evolve players will fight for pure Genetic Material which is guarded by the Outposts created by other players.

Outposts designs will need to outwit and kill enemy players using blocks, traps, and guards which can be programmed with custom patrol paths. Players will then need to use their own tools and expertise to survive these user-created Outposts.

“Behaviour Interactive is known for creating unique moments for players and Meet Your Maker clearly delivers on this reputation,” says creative director Ash Pannell. “As a builder, share your meticulously built Outpost and watch other players take them on via our replay system. It never gets old to watch others die.”

As part of the Behaviour Beyond stream, the studio also announced a new Resident Evil collaboration that will add Ada Wong, Rebecca Chambers, and new Killer Albert Wesker to the game.

There's also a wide range of customization modes, giving players the option to switch up their wrestler attire and appearance while also changing their entrances, move-sets, teams, and arenas. They can choose to join the AEW roster and appear in matches and stories over an event schedule in career mode or show off their manoeuvres during tag-team matches in online co-op.

The AEW talent roster will give players the chance to step into the wrestling boots of some of the most legendary wrestlers that have ever entered the ring while also putting all-new, high-flying AEW talent through their paces. The full list of playable characters has not yet been released but past previews have told us that Nyla Rose and Kris Statlander will be in the mix.

"We just landed the perfect finisher by partnering with global publishing and distribution powerhouse THQ Nordic," said Kenny Omega, EVP of AEW and former AEW World Champion and AEW World Tag Team Champion. "The THQ brand has long been synonymous with wrestling games – there is simply no more qualified partner to bring AEW: Fight Forever to the millions of wrestling fans the world over."

"Kenny's incredible vision for AEW: Fight Forever is informed by his wrestling pedigree both inside the ring and on the controller," added Executive Producer Reinhard Pollice, THQ Nordic. "Combine that vision with Yukes' unparalleled wrestling game development history is resulting in an AEW experience that draws heavily on the arcade feel that first won wrestling gamer hearts more than two decades ago."

THQ Nordic and Yuke's Media Creations have joined forces to bring AEW: Fight Forever to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The game currently has no release date, and more than a year has passed since AEW executive vice president Kenny Omega suggested they were aiming to release it in the first quarter of 2022.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has been delayed... but thankfully only by a day.

The new Disney+ series was scheduled to begin on August 17, but the premiere will now air on August 18, with the entire nine-episode season seeing release on Thursdays from then on. Disney hasn't explained the shift.

The announcement was made at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, where Disney also announced premiere dates for Brie Lason's docu-series Growing Up (September 8), real-world exploration show Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory (also September 8), Benedict Cumberbatch narratived nature docu-series Super/Natural (September 21), and The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers Season 2 (September 28).

She-Hulk stars Tatiana Maslany as Jennifer Walters, a cousin of Bruce Banner who gains his abilities and attempts to balance her life as a lawyer with the responsibilities of a superhero. A broader comedy than most of the MCU, the show will also include Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky/the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong, as well as Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jameela Jamil, Jon Bass and Renée Elise Goldsberry.

The show will also see another reintroduction of Charlie Cox's Daredevil, who will be "equal in intellect" with Jennifer Walters, and even seems to include a reference to Ghost Rider. The show will also see fourth wall breaks, but they apparently won't just be for comedic effect.

A World of Warcraft mobile game has reportedly been quietly canceled due to financing disputes.

According to Bloomberg, the upcoming smartphone game had been in development for three years but has now been canceled due to a dispute between Activision Blizzard and NetEase.

“The two companies disagreed over terms and ultimately called a halt to the project, which had been kept under wraps,” said a source close to the deal.

The project, referred to as “Neptune” by those working on it, was said to be a Warcraft spin-off, set during a different period to World of Warcraft. It’s unknown whether it would have directly tied into either Warcraft, Warcraft II, or Warcraft III.

The good news is that it’s not Warcraft Arclight Rumble – the upcoming mobile “tower offense” game due to release later this year.

As far back as February this year, Activision Blizzard revealed that it was working on multiple mobile Warcraft titles, and this was thought to be one of the big reasons behind Microsoft’s acquisition of the company for a reported $69 million earlier this year.

Now, it looks as though those mobile games may be up in the air – after all, the extent of Activision Blizzard’s working relationship with NetEase following this high-profile cancellation is uncertain. Another of Activision Blizzard’s mobile games, a Pokemon Go-style AR game, was also canceled.

NetEase currently publishes World of Warcraft in China and is also behind the popular yet controversial mobile game, Diablo Immortal, which has come under fire for its microtransactions. Despite this, Activision Blizzard is set to make a killing with the game, which earned $24 million in its first two weeks.

Whether or not Activision Blizzard and NetEase will continue working on Warcraft mobile titles remains to be seen. But at the moment, Warcraft Arclight Rumble is still full steam ahead. And it looks as though the popular Warcraft franchise is set to continue making them a ton of money.

OnePlus has officially announced the 10T 5G, and unlike the company’s last flagship smartphone, it’ll be widely available in the US from the start.

Spec-wise, the new handset shares a lot of the same features as the OnePlus 10 Pro, including the same overall design, exact dimensions, and 6.7-inch 120Hz AMOLED display. The main difference, however, is OnePlus has removed the notification slider to make way for 15 antennas for steadier Wi-Fi and cellular connections, no matter how the device is oriented.

OnePlus also decided to forgo the alert slider to fit a larger battery in the 10T 5G, bringing the phone’s battery capacity up to 4,800mAh. Every OnePlus 10T 5G comes with a 160W SuperVOOC power adapter and a USB-C cable, so it can power 150W charging when plugged into a 220v or higher power socket.

With just 10 minutes of 125W SUPERVOOC charging, we saw the OnePlus 10T 5G was able to replenish 52% of its total battery life. And in 19 minutes, you can get a full charge. Oddly for all it's charging superpowers, this phone doesn't support wireless charging at all.

The OnePlus 10T 5G has also seen a slight bump in processing and graphics power thanks to a newer Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. The base model includes 8GB of RAM, though there's a higher capacity version with 16GB, which helps keep up to 35 apps loaded into the cache for faster multitasking.

OnePlus has also remixed the 10T 5G’s cameras a bit. It now features a main 50MP wide-angle camera with a Sony IMX766 sensor – also seen on a few recent handsets like the Nothing Phone and Asus Zenfone 9. While the rest of the phone's rear camera complement consists of an 8MP wide camera and a 2MP macro camera. That of course leaves out a dedicated telephoto camera so the zoom camera on this device is completely digital.

The OnePlus 10T 5G starts at $649 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, while the higher-end 16GB of RAM and 256GB of storage will go for $749. Preorders for OnePlus’ latest flagship start on September 1, and it’ll be available widely starting September 29.

Neil Patrick Harris has revealed that Ncuti Gatwa will play the first gay Time Lord in the new series of Doctor Who.

After returning from shooting the new season of Doctor Who, Harris gave fans a little bit of insight into what they can expect from the 14th Doctor. He assured fans listening to Variety's Just for Variety podcast that Gatwa will usher in a new era of the seminal sci-fi series as he is not only playing a "sexier" incarnation of the Time Lord but will also be appearing as "the first gay Doctor."

"I got to meet and interact with him a bit and he's glorious," Harris said of the former Sex Education star. "He'll be the first gay Doctor, which is going to be super cool, a sexier Doctor."

Showrunner Russell T. Davis reportedly offered Harris a role on the series after they worked together on the British miniseries It's a Sin. Little is known about his character at the moment, aside from the fact that he will appear in Doctor Who's 60th anniversary special opposite Gatwa and that he will be "the greatest enemy the Doctor has ever faced."

Harris shared a photo of himself in character wearing some crooked glasses, a bowtie, and a leather-strapped apron in an Instagram post acknowledging the casting news. "Thank you for inviting me into your Whoniverse, [Davies]," he wrote in the caption. "I'll try my hardest to do my worst. This Doctor has no idea what's in store. And even if he does… Who cares? Ha ha ha HA ha-ha-ha!"

This announcement arrived just over a month after the BBC revealed that Gatwa had been cast as the 14th Doctor, replacing Jodie Whittaker after her three-season tenure inside the TARDIS. Whittaker will star in one final episode later this year before she passes the torch to Gatwa for the 14th season, which is expected to air sometime in 2023.

The intervening time gives people a chance to catch up on the modern era of the British sci-fi show before Gatwa's arrival. Check out IGN's guide on how to stream every episode of Doctor Who, including those starring previous incarnations of the Doctor such as Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, and Jodie Whittaker.

Images of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode have been leaked through a very unlikely source – the LA Rams football team.

LA Rams player Cameron Dicker revealed a glimpse of the upcoming Call of Duty game’s lobby screen, which he appeared to be playing at an event.

“Having fun on the new @callofduty” he revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post (via Charlie Intel). It’s thought that the high-profile event gave LA Rams players a sneak preview of the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.

But Dicker also included a screenshot with his post, and several other images from the event give us an insight into what to expect from the upcoming CoD sequel.

Although other players also posted images on social media, it seems that their usernames have since been cropped out.

Notably, one player posted a screenshot of an in-game menu showing DMZ mode – a new Call of Duty gameplay mode which has been likened to Escape from Tarkov. DMZ is short for “demilitarized zone” in which players will experience “extraction missions”. A recent leak offered up more details… and now it looks as though its inclusion in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has been inadvertently confirmed.

The LA Rams event saw a flurry of social media posts from players, with some boasting about playing the as-yet-unreleased game. “Bout to tap in wit @callofduty Previewing unreleased game,” said one player.

Defensive Back Quentin lake even posted a video that shows a brief 1-second glimpse of its gameplay – although you can't make much out.

All in all, the event feels like a bit of an own goal for Activision, which has seen several Call of Duty leaks over the past few weeks.

We already knew that Pokémon Scarlet & Violet would be fully open world, and could be explored in any order – but now we know the game will include three main story campaigns, including the usual gym battling route.

Revealed in today's Pokémon Presents broadcast, we learned that journeys in the Paldea region will begin with your character joining a school (the Naranja Academy in Pokémon Scarlet, or the Uva Academy in Pokémon Violet).

From there, you'll be given a "special independent study project, known only as 'The Treasure Hunt'. The Treasure Hunt will see you exploring Paldea, where "three grand stories" are on offer, and can be approached in any order.

As you'd expect from the series, one of those stories revolves around becoming the region's best trainer, by beating the leaders of 8 Pokémon gyms. However, in the new games, there's no set path through those 8 gyms, meaning you can take them on in any order. In the latest gameplay, we saw Glaseado Gym, an ice-type location set in what looks like a ski resort.

The other two campaigns are more of a mystery, although there are some distinct possibilities for those hinted at in the new footage. One could revolve around the game's legendaries, Koraidon and Miraidon, who appear to partner with the player early on and are rideable Pokémon, able to act like bikes, gliders, boats, and can even climb mountains.

Another could revolve around the game's new battle mechanic, Terastallizing. This option allows any Paldea Pokémon in the game to turn into a new gem-like form, which makes them stronger and can even change their elemental type (connected to a new stat, Tera Type). The game will also introduce Tera Raid Battles, which can reward you with Pokémon that have rare Tera Types – in the trailer, we saw a water-type Gardevoir, for example.

No specific story reason was given for why Terastallizing is a part of the game – but the official webiste says the new Professor Sada and Professor Turo are researching the phenomenon, so it seems likely to form part of a story campaign.

We'll find out more when Pokémon Scarlet & Violet launch on November 18, bringing full 4-player co-op multiplayer into the series, too.
