Whoopsie. We missed post-apocalyptic alternate Soviet history retrofuturistic action roleplaying game Atomic Heart's new combat trailer for Gamecom.

Which may be the highlight of all Gamescom reveals so far.

Gamescom Day 3
Posted By:

Gamescom's third day seems to have been relatively quiet with just a little bit more from High on Life.

There's also some new Gotham Knights footage. Even though that doesn't via Gamescom we're going to slap them together.

More Umbrella
Posted By:

Joyous news. Netflix have renewed The Umbrella Academy for a fourth and final season.

It's always sad when a great show ends but as we remarked in June, season 4 feels like a natural ending point for this brilliant story.

Black to Grey
Posted By:

A new trailer has been released for Deus which stars Australia's Claudia Black (a.k.a Vala in Stargate SG-1) as astrophysicist Karla Grey. Does that name sound made for her?

For the sake of managing expectations this isn't a huge budget cinema release. It's straight to DVD and digital.

Gamescom Day 2
Posted By:

Instead of wall to wall trailers, today is more of a deep dive into a much smaller number of tiles.

Even so we'll deal with High on Life, Homeworld, Lies of P, Steelrising, The Callisto Protocol and Warhammer 40K: Darktide collectively.

Love and Thunder
Posted By:

Pretty much as expected because accelerated transition to streaming is in vogue, Thor: Love and Thunder will arrive on Disney+ on September 8.

Though widely regarded as inferior to Ragnarok, reputable reviewers describe it as at least above average so it could be worth a few hours of your time.

Disney Dick Move
Posted By:

We hope you'll pardon our vulgar language but as they say in the classic Disney Cinderella tale, the shoe fits.

With the original Avatar film returning to cinemas ahead of the sequel's premiere in December, Disney have sneakily pulled Avatar from Disney+.

No this one really is a Ghostbusters game. At Gamescom Illfonic have released a 3 minute gameplay trailer for Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.

Showing both the perspective of ghosts and busters in this team player versus player title.
