If You Can’t Wait for Cyberpunk 2077, Check Out Killjoys
Cyberpunk 2077 is dropping in April 2020, but it already boasts the pedigree and promise to capture the imaginations of gamers worldwide. The wait may feel excruciating, but in the meantime, there’s a TV show airing now that could scratch your itch for cool, cyberpunk-infused storytelling: Killjoys, created by Michelle Lovretta - purveyor of sleek, sexy, speculative narratives like the series Lost Girl (which followed the life of a succubus straddling the human and fae worlds).
Killjoys began its fifth and final season on Friday, July 19. The stylish show has strong cyberpunk elements recognizable to many sci-fi fans, like a looming Company that needs no other name because its authoritarian rule is absolute, and the regular use of cybernetics to augment human bodies.

Hitman 3 Is Currently in Development and Might Be Episodic Again
IO Interactive, the Danish video game developer behind the Hitman series, is already looking towards making Hitman 3. But before that, IO Interactive may release a completely new IP first.
In a new episode of the NoClip video game documentary, host Danny O’Dwyer visited IO Interactive’s office in Copenhagen to find out how the studio was able to survive a dramatic 2017 where parent company Square Enix tried to sell the studio.
Instead of finding a buyer, IO Interactive underwent a management buyout to become an independent studio and the owners of the Hitman IP.

Kelly McGillis Wasn’t Asked to Return for Top Gun: Maverick
While Top Gun: Maverick will feature several actors reprising their roles from the original 1986 film, don't expect to see Kelly McGillis return as Charlie Blackwood. According to McGillis, she wasn't even asked to return for the sequel.
McGillis revealed as much in an interview with Entertainment Tonight. She also said she hasn't maintained contact with her colleagues from the original movie.
"Movies are odd things. I don't really keep in touch with anybody," she told ET. "I think I've spoken to a couple of people occasionally, but the truth is, movies are very odd work situations because you have a lot of people who come together from all different parts of the world."

Blair Witch Gameplay Trailer Revealed
The first gameplay trailer for the upcoming Blair Witch game has been revealed. You can watch it in the video above.
After its cinematic reveal trailer during E3, this latest trailer gives us our first real look at how you’ll actually play Blair Witch, which developer Bloober Team describes as a “first-person psychological horror game.”
Included in the trailer is your trusty dog companion, Bullet, who will help you along the way as you issue commands for him like digging or seeking things out. Also featured are some far less adorable monsters in the woods, a particularly terrifying cabin, and lots of home video recordings that evoke the original film.

Giersdorf is a player for the Sentinels group, and managed to careen past his 99 other opponents by a wide margin, earning a total of 59 points. The runner up, Psalm, scored 33 points by comparison over the finals’ six matches. The World Cup used a point-scoring system that encouraged players to not only place higher up in the ranking, but also eliminate opponents, as to discourage players from simply hiding until the end game.
