How Far From Home Could Set Up Spider-Man 3 – SPOILERS
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home!
The latest Spider-Man movie ends on a surprisingly dark note, assuming you stick around to watch the mid-credits sequence. In this scene, J. Jonah Jameson (played by a returning J.K. Simmons!) airs doctored footage of Spider-Man's final encounter with Mysterio, making it seem as though Spidey himself ordered the London drone attack which took place during the film's climax. Worse, JJJ reveals to the whole world that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
EA Struggles With the Perception That ‘We’re Just a Bunch of Bad Guys’
EA’s vice president of strategic growth has revealed how he still struggles with a public perception that EA is “just a bunch of bad guys”, and how he hopes that EA Originals - the publisher’s label for smaller, indie-like games - will help the company reconnect with new talent.
Talking to GamesIndustry.biz, EA’s Matt Bilbey said “25 years at EA and I still struggle with the external perception that we’re just a bunch of bad guys. We love making and playing games. Unfortunately, when we make mistakes on games, the world knows about it because it’s of a size and scale.”

Grid will now be released October 11. This is marks a four week delay for Codemasters’ return to the TOCA franchise, which was originally scheduled to launch on September 13.

Star Wars Episode 9 Will Address Rey’s Parentage, Says Daisy Ridley
Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey in the current Star Wars trilogy, has confirmed that The Rise of Skywalker will deal with the subject of Rey’s parents.
Talking to USA Today, when asked about if the film would further explore her character’s parentage, Ridley said: “(Director J.J. Abrams) did say the question is answered. So at the end of the film, you do know what the dealio is.”
Back in April, J.J. Abrams said that “there’s more to the story than you’ve seen” in regards to Rey’s parents, teasing that he and writer Chris Terrio had more ideas in mind for Rey’s backstory. But Ridley’s latest comments solidify the fact that The Rise of Skywalker will answer fans’ questions about the topic.
The Marvel Zombies Will Rise Again in October
Marvel Comics is reviving the Marvel Zombies franchise just in time for Halloween this year. Today the publisher revealed a brand new Marvel Zombies series set to debut in October 2019.
We don't yet know the creative team involved, but Marvel did release a teaser image from artist Inhyuk Lee. Check it out below:
The tagline "The dead will walk again" is obviously meant to invoke the Image Comics series The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman actually wrote the first two Marvel Zombies miniseries. Could this be a hint he's returning to the franchise?
Mordhau Developers Releases Another Statement, Says Diversity Toggle Never Official
Update:
Following the confusion over Mordhau developer Triternion's official stance on a diversity toggle, the team has issued a second statement on the matter denying plans to ever add such a feature.
In a post made on Mordhau's community forums, Triternion blames the confusion on a "misunderstanding" and lack of PR experience for the two developers interviewed by PC Gamer. "First and foremost, Triternion does not, nor have we ever, had plans to add a customization option that would force a white male default," Triternion writes in a new statement. "This is an absurd idea that stems from a misunderstanding in a recent interview by PC Gamer with two of our artists."
