Netflix Releases Final Trailer for Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
The final trailer for Netflix's The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance has arrived, offering a deeper look at the spectacular world of Thra created by director Louis Leterrier, executive producer Lisa Henson, and the artisans at The Jim Henson Company.
While previous Dark Crystal trailers explored the new characters (Taron Egerton's Rian, Anya Taylor-Joy's Brea, and Nathalie Emmanuel's Deet) and their journey, this latest footage features more action-packed scenes, including the Gelfling and Skeksis forces arming themselves and preparing for battle.
No Man’s Sky Players Create a Cyberpunk-Themed Base and It’s Stunning
Ever since Hello Games added building tools to No Man’s Sky, the potential had me excited. The Cyberpunk-themed Replicant City is definitely one of the most impressive I’ve seen so far. Check out the city in action in the video at the top of this page.
Created by just four people over about 20 hours, the neon-filled canyon seems almost technically impossible. When asked about how some of these objects were placed in the way that they are, builder ERBurroughs told me:
“The technique allows placement of parts that may not be typically placed on a ceiling, let’s say, by forcing items in the build menu to either the right or left with a timed button press. Other glitch techniques require multiple player to place parts at the same time, effectively putting two things in one spot. Glitch builders have found items are definitely placed in the build menu in a certain order to take advantage of this “trick”. Items that rotate are next to items that do not, so you can rotate the part you use to glitch, then place the part you wanted to l, in the correct orientation. Other things we have learned while building is that as you collect blue prints, what you can glitch into place will change. Our last build required a player that did not have the Nautilon (in game submarine) in their menu to give them access to a part my 1200 hour save just can’t glitch.”
Haunting of Hill House Creator Teases ‘Much Scarier’ Season 2
If you found Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House to be a terrifying experience, brace yourself for the second season. Creator Mike Flanagan promises The Haunting of Bly Manor will be "much scarier than season one."
Flanagan spoke to Birth.Movies.Death about what's coming in the new season. While Netflix previously announced The Haunting of Bly Manor is based on Henry James' 1898 novella The Turn of the Screw, Flanagan revealed that the series is drawing from more than one of James' stories. He referred to The Turn of the Screw as "a jumping-off point" for Season 2's narrative.
Shenmue 3 Backer Demo Details Revealed
Today developer Ys Net revealed what will be included in the upcoming trial version of Shenmue 3 available to Kickstarter backers on PC.
Set to be ready sometime in the second half of September, the demo will be a standalone act set in Bailu Village, the first area of Shenmue 3. The Kickstarter update that made the announcement explained that there will be a central objective to complete with “lots of activities to experience” after you're done with it.
Critically, the demo is currently estimated to only be playable for one hour, though the announcement seems to indicate that will likely be enough time for the main objective and extras. Since this is a standalone act, save files will not transfer over to the final game.
PSA: You Can Now Reserve Your WoW Classic Character Name
Blizzard has now opened up reservations for character names in World of Warcraft Classic, the next iteration (and a sort of remake of its glory days) of its iconic MMO, according to Eurogamer.
If you want to reserve your character name, you’ll need to have an active WoW subscription or play time on your account. Then you can create up to three characters per account and reserve a name for them. Simple enough, and plenty of nostalgia to collect upon if you’re trying to make an old character you use to play as.

Discovered by ResetERA user Link83, the filing includes a single image that very much resembles the back of a SNES controller.

You’ll Be Able to Play All Future Quantic Dream Games on Multiple Platforms
Every game made by Quantic Dream going forward will be multiplatform, says the studio's founder and head David Cage.
Despite not being a Sony first-party studio, Quantic Dream is known for producing PlayStation exclusives. Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and most recently Detroit: Become Human were all initially launched as PlayStation exclusives, and are only now coming to PC this year. However, David Cage told Dualshockers that his team now wants to “work on different platforms and reach players all around the world.”
He said, “Quantic Dream is not exclusive to any platform anymore. So yes, unless there are some specific exclusivity deals on a title-by-title basis, all our games will be released on all platforms at launch.”
