Silent Hill fans have a proper new game to look forward to soon, but before the Silent Hill 2 remake arrives this October, fans may want to check out Hollowbody, the latest in a long line of horror games made to look and play a lot like PS2-era greats such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill.Hollowbody comes with a twist though: It takes place in a cyberpunk setting, meaning its haunts will often be more technological in nature. You can see it in action with the new release date trailer below. In it, it’s revealed the game will launch on September 12 for PC via Steam and GOG. It’s a date we’ve been waiting for, as Hollowbody made our list of the most anticipated horror games of 2024 back in January.

For a limited time, you can grab all four John Wick films on Blu-ray for only $18 at Amazon.

Walmart also has a deal that slashes 50% off its exclusive John Wick Stash Book 4K steelbook collection, which received a reprinting last month. Amazon, meanwhile, has a 4K set with the first three movies available for $29 (was $45)

Fortnite Festival Season 5 launches this weekend with a headliner who’s a pretty major pivot from Metallica: Colombian pop and reggaeton singer Karol G.

The pass costs 1800 V-Bucks, as it did in previous seasons, and includes both free and paid tracks. Buying the pass will immediately get you the…

Hunt: Showdown just received its massive 1896 re-launch–one that overhauls Crytek’s supernatural extraction shooter and updates it for current-gen consoles–and it’s doing the numbers on Steam to prove it.Crytek’s shooter has always had a consistent player count of around 20,000-30,000 people on Steam over the last few years, slowly but surely cementing its place as one of the best extraction shooters available.
