Fallout 76: Bethesda Reveals Campaign Details
Bethesda has revealed a few more details about Fallout 76's campaign, including how finishing it will reward the player.
Although the game will place a heavy emphasis on multiplayer opportunities and survival - when announced, Bethesda referred to it as an "online survival RPG" - that doesn't mean that it's giving up the series' traditional story-based elements, with the game's development team clarifying that Fallout 76 is still "driven by quests".
The news comes from Game Informer's latest feature on the game, with the developers revealing that the game's "main quest" storyline will revolve around the mysterious disappearance of Vault 76's Overseer. Bethesda's director Todd Howard explains that "she left before everybody", leaving behind secret instructions for the player, who receives a transmission from her upon leaving the Vault. This transmission, and the instructions left behind, will drive the player through the game's main storyline - which will end with the player gaining access to the game's nukes.
Netflix’s The Witcher: Geralt Voice Actor Approves of Henry Cavill Casting

Many fans had asked Cockle - who's become synonymous with the role, and will be reprising it for the character's appearance in Soulcalibur 6 - for his opinion. He responded on Twitter:
People keep asking... so... let me go on record saying I think that #HenryCavill will do a great job as #GeraltOfRivia ! He'll make it his own of course, as well he should, and I can't wait to see what @LHissrich and the whole @netflix team create. It's gonna be #Magic

Get an Exclusive Behind the Scenes Look at the Making of BoJack Horseman
Netflix's BoJack Horseman has cemented itself as one of the best comedies - animated or live-action - of the past decade, thanks in large part to its meticulously detailed world and the fascinating design of its quirky characters.
Every scene is brimming with visual gags, ridiculous animal puns and Hollywood-skewering easter eggs, to the point where it's impossible to catch them all in a single viewing - which is why a new book, BoJack Horseman: The Art Before the Horse, should appeal to fans of all stripes (and spots).
Now available in stores, The Art Before the Horse is a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the show from its earliest stages all the way through to Season 4, combining oral history-style interviews from the cast and creative team with original concept art, storyboards, and backgrounds to offer an all-encompassing look at just how much work goes into making the series. The hardcover consists of 240 pages and 300 color illustrations, so you're sure to notice plenty of hidden gems you might have missed while watching.
9 Questions About How the Purge Actually Works
On September 4, with a premiere set to be simulcast on both USA and Syfy, The Purge franchise heads to TV for a 10-episode series focusing on an all new cast of characters during the Purge's 10th anniversary.
Some are out on the streets, desperately looking for loved ones, while others are tucked away in mansions, seemingly safe while surrounded by pro-Purge one-percenters. But all of them will come face to face with extraordinary horrors and atrocities.
With a drastic dystopian alt-universe concept like The Purge comes questions, however. Many questions. Concerns and queries that, perhaps, the movies don't have time to answer. We're hoping the TV show, with 10 hours of rampaging Purge-iness, will dig into some of these often-asked inquiries.

Dave Bautista Thinks a Drax Spinoff Should Happen, Even If It’s Without Him
Dave Bautista may not want to work with Disney again, but he still believes a Drax standalone movie should happen even if he doesn't play the character.
Speaking to MTV International, Bautista discussed why he thinks the spinoff is a good idea, saying the film would explore the tragic backstory of Drax and his family, which Bautista says has been overlooked.
"You know, I really wish they would tell more of the story of Drax's family," Bautista said. "And I think it's a beautiful story and I think it's been lost and overlooked a little bit.
"It's a beautiful and heartbreaking emotional thing to just know where that, you know, love for his family and that heartbreak over his family being lost and murdered, where it comes from."
Predicting the Top 10 Fall Box Office Movies
Now that the summer movie season has come to a close, it’s time to look ahead to see what the fall movies have to offer. While the fall movies don’t often put up as big of numbers as their summer counterparts, there are a number of potential blockbusters waiting in the wings, but for the first time in four years, there won’t be a Star Wars movie at the end of the year, which opens up the field considerably. The end of the year is shaping up to be quite competitive though, which could leave a number of high profile releases lost in the shuffle.
While there is only one wide release opening on Christmas Day (Focus Features’ On the Basis of Sex), there are five major releases on December 21 (Alita: Battle Angel, Aquaman, Bumblebee, Holmes & Watson, and Welcome to Marwen), plus Mary Poppins Returns on December 19. This is almost exactly identical to last year’s holiday release schedule which saw the release of five new films (Downsizing, Father Figures, Pitch Perfect 3, The Greatest Showman and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) in the days before Christmas. Jumanji ($404.5 million) was the only bona fide hit of the five, although The Greatest Showman ($174.3 million) and Pitch Perfect 3 ($104.9 million) also fared well.
