Creator Mike Bithell has confirmed that his minimalist and peculiar platformer, Thomas Was Alone, will arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Wii U in November. And while we don’t have an exact release date at this stage, it’s understood that all three versions will launch within the same week.
If you were holding onto that faint sliver of hope that Bayonetta 2 would arrive on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One further down the line, Platinum Games has some bad news for you. In an interview with Nintendo Everything, the studio’s Hideki Kamiya stated that the Wii U exclusive will be tethered to Nintendo’s home console indefinitely.
It’s been a full decade since Jigsaw, that all too familiar civil engineer-cum-serial killer, muttered the famous line, “Do you wanna’ play a game?” And so, to celebrate the blood-curdling success of the franchise, Lionsgate is ushering the original Saw back into theaters for a limited time this Halloween.
Not to be outdone by Threshold Entertainment’s Tetris-related announcement yesterday, another game-to-film adaptation tidbit has found its way online. That is, the full voice cast has been announced for Colombia Pictures’ upcoming Angry Birds movie.
Taking to the game’s official Twitter feed, EA and developer DICE have announced that the pair are making the final preparations for Battlefield 4’s imminent fall patch.
In keeping with the clandestine nature of the franchise, Ubisoft has stealthily released yet another entry into the Assassin’s Creed series.

Threshold Entertainment has confirmed that a live-action rendition of Tetris — Alexey Pajitnov’s seminal 1984 puzzle title — is in the works, and will release across theaters at some point in the very near future. (Are we sure it’s not April 1st?)
"I'm going to finish this," grumbles Bryan Mills in the recently-released trailer for Taken 3 (or Tak3n, as it's currently being marketed). Liam Nesson's weathered protagonist has fought off waves and waves of Albanian henchman, travelled half-way around the world to save his daughter -- literally -- and just when you thought he was out in the clear and ready for a well-deserved beer, he's back for one more job. No, really, this is the last job.
It appears as though Jeremy Renner’s schedule has indeed derailed production of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters 2. Last we reported of the sequel brought news that the film’s director, Tommy Wirkola, had summited a script to Paramount Pictures and was awaiting the go-ahead from the studio to begin filming.
Like it or not, video game adaptations are seemingly back in vogue for Hollywood. Over the next few years, we can expect filmic translations of major pixelated properties such as Splinter Cell, Assassin’s Creed and, in all likelihood, about five more Resident Evil movies. But one of the new kids on the block so to speak is Legendary’s Dead Rising movie, which just yesterday unveiled its full cast.
