Sony Boss Confirms Bloodborne Expansion is Coming
President of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed that an 'expansion' for Bloodborne is on its way.
So I have been asked by many people if we are making DLC for Bloodborne. I can say... An expansion is coming. More info later this year. :D
— Shuhei Yoshida (@yosp) May 21, 2015
While the news is unsurprising, it's unusual we've not heard about any potential DLC until now. From Software's previous game Dark Souls 2 received three (great) DLC packs, and hopefully it will follow a similar model here - although the use of the word 'expansion' is an interesting one.

The Flash: What Those Glimpses of the Future Mean
Warning: this article contains spoilers for the Season 1 finale of The Flash!
The Season 1 finale of The Flash was packed with a lot of awesome moments, but the big talking point has been the Speed Force sequence where Barry Allen sees several images from his past, present, and future. Let's dig into what we saw.
In the comics, Caitlin Snow is the real name of villain Killer Frost -- a woman with blue skin and deadly ice powers. In the show, Caitlin is a scientist working to help the Flash during Season 1, so it's interesting that in the comics Killer Frost is a straight up villain, meaning something pretty messed up would have to happen to Caitlin in order for her to turn from the path of good.

Walking Dead’s Kirkman Joins Transformers
The Transformers movie franchise’s new “writers room” has been born like a ‘bot from the AllSpark, and Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is among the names who are joining the series.
Deadline reports that in the wake of Paramount and Transformers producers Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg and Lorenzo di Bonaventura drafting writer-producer Akiva Goldsman (the Da Vinci Code movies, I Am Legend, I, Robot, etc.) in March to “incubate” ideas for a multi-part sequel and potential spinoff films, a roster of writers has been assembled.
Marvel Universe to Have 2 Spider-Men
As reported by Newsarama, during a live chat with Brian Michael Bendis, the longtime Ultimate Spider-Man writer confirmed that there will be two Spider-Mans -- Peter Parker and Miles Morales -- in the Marvel Universe after Secret Wars ends
Miles originally became the Spider-Man of the Ultimate Universe after Peter died, only for Peter to return later and give Miles his blessing to continue fighting evil as Spider-Man. Miles did once meet the regular, 616 Peter in a story called Spider-Men, but now it seems they'll be spending a lot more time together.
M. Night Shyamalan Would Love to Do an Unbreakable TV Show
M. Night Shyamalan has unveiled his new suspense series Wayward Pines on FOX. IGN had the opportunity to speak with the writer/director about the project recently. During the course of discussion, Shyamalan expressed - if not a regret, then a longing - to have completed a sequel to his comics-inspired film, Unbreakable.
M. Night Shyamalan Said No 'They've Been Dead All Along' Twist for Wayward Pines
The director feels that in the first film, it was as if they'd just reached the crux of the story and the core of the relationships and then it was over. Given the dominance of comic book shows on television, we asked Shyamalan if a series may actually be the best place for that story to continue to unfold.
