BioWare Shoots Down Cancelled Andromeda DLC Rumors
BioWare and EA have denied the claims of a company saying Mass Effect: Andromeda DLC it has been working on was cancelled. However, more recent reports suggest that, despite this false claim, there is no single-player DLC planned for the game.
PC Gamer reports these DLC cancellation rumors first started with a now deleted Facebook message (captured by Critical Hit) from a developer called Sinclair Networks, in which the studio claimed it's no longer working with BioWare on three pieces pf planned Andromeda DLC content.

Wonder Woman Now a Bigger Hit Than BvS, Suicide Squad
As it heads into its fifth weekend in release, Wonder Woman has surpassed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, and Man of Steel to become the highest-grossing movie of the DC Extended Universe at the North American box office.
As of Thursday, the Patty Jenkins-directed film has earned $330.5 million, edging past BvS's total domestic haul of $330.4 million. Furthermore, Wonder Woman has earned that after just 28 days in release whereas it took BvS 84 days to make that much.
While both BvS and Suicide Squad enjoyed bigger domestic openings than Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman ultimately managed to avoid the massive attendance drops each successive weekend that befell those two DCEU films.
Marvel’s The Defenders, Inhumans, More Coming to SDCC
Marvel Television has announced its lineup for San Diego Comic-Con 2017.
The studio is bringing a number of new series to this year's convention, including Marvel's The Defenders, The Gifted and Marvel's Inhumans. The critically acclaimed X-Men-based show Legion will also be at SDCC, as well as Marvel Animation's new Spider-Man series.
On Thursday, July 20, the cast and producers of Legion will host a panel to discuss Season 1 and what's to come in Season 2. Later that day, a panel featuring the cast of Marvel's Inhumans will showcase exclusive footage from the upcoming series. If you haven't already done so, be sure to check out the first full trailer for Marvel's Inhumans.
The Witcher Actor Joins Cast of New VR RPG
Augmented Empire, a virtual reality RPG with a cyberpunk setting, launches July 13 exclusively on Samsung Gear VR.
The 10+ hour adventure takes place in New Savannah, an island "neo-noir city divided into three tiers by the Citizen Grade System." Voice talent for the game comes by the way of Doug Cockle, the voice behind Geralt in the Witcher series, Kate Mulgrew of Star Trek: Voyager and Orange Is the New Black, Nick Frost of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, and Garrick Hagon who played Biggs in the original Star Wars.
Gameplay features "6 upgradable characters" across over 60 different environments. Gear VR controller support and gamepad support is also included.
Augmented Empire comes to Samsung VR July 13 for $9.99USD, £7.99 UK and €9.99 EU.
Fox Sets Release Dates for Six More Marvel-Based Movies
Six untitled Marvel-based movies from 20th Century Fox now have release dates.
According to box office authority Exhibitor Relations, the release schedule is as follows: June 7, 2019, November 22, 2019, March 13, 2020, June 26, 2020, October 2, 2020 and March 5, 2021.
It's safe to assume one of the upcoming movies will be Deadpool 3, as reports surfaced last year that Fox is so confident in the Ryan Reynolds-led film franchise that it's already planning a third movie. It's quite possible X-Force is also part of this lineup. The story of Deadpool 3 will allegedly incorporate the X-Force and Reynolds has made it clear that he's made getting an X-Force film off the ground a priority.
