Rockstar Games has published a heavily censored version of the Grand Theft Auto 6 extended look reveal for China. As shared by @videotech on X/Twitter , the studio behind the game that is convincing publishers to steer clear of November published its 27-minute gameplay reveal on Chinese social media platform Bilibili last week – but some things are just a bit different from other uploads (via Kotaku ). It doesn't take long to realize that large portions of the GTA 6 trailer have been blurred out, including dancing, drug-related content, and sexual content. Considering this is a Grand Theft Auto game, there's quite a bit you can't see. Footage of protagonists Jason and Lucia at a nightclub, for example, basically turns the screen into a giant purple blur. A later scene blurs out Jason's hand when he's smoking, while brief shots of the beach censor some of the crowd. While most corpses seem unblurred, footage showing close-ups of bloodied dead bodies has also been ...

Bungie has confirmed it is "exploring options" to sublease 210,984 square feet of its massive headquarters in Bellevue, Washington, saying the move reflects its continued focus on a "digital first" model. Following major layoffs across Bungie’s team in June, the studio has made the decision to put a large chunk of its Bellevue headquarters up for sublease, meaning that it’ll be renting out parts of the space to a third party (or parties). The Game Post broke the news after reportedly reviewing a 10-page advertisement for the building in a commercial leasing brochure, which stated that 210,984 square feet of the building will be available to sublease through September 30, 2035. That’s a long time from now, and one that left fans concerned for Bungie's future projects. Bungie confirmed the news in a statement sent to The Game Post, stating that this move reflects the company’s growing focus on remote work, which ties into its "digital-first" model. ...

Turkish GTA 6 fans want language support so badly that they went out of their way to professionally dub its gameplay reveal. The Turkish gaming community has been asking for more and more studios to add Turkish language support for their games. This has led to massive fan campaigns for titles like 007 First Light , which actually resulted in IO Interactive adding Turkish subtitles to the game. Now, the Turkish gaming community is turning their focus to the most anticipated release of the year, if not the most anticipated game in history: Grand Theft Auto 6. Fans have been asking Rockstar Games to add Turkish subtitles or voice overs to GTA 6 ahead of its release in November. They aren't just making social media posts tagging Rockstar, either; they actually professionally dubbed and mixed the entire GTA 6 extended look with a whole cast of actors. The Turkish dub went up just a day after the gameplay was released , which means there was a very fast turn around. It's pretty im...

Netflix is cooking up a live-action Dungeons & Dragons TV show based on the tabletop RPG’s gothic-horror campaign, Ravenloft, and its vampire villain, Darklord Strahd von Zarovich. The spooky series is penned as an origin story that dives into the events that turned Zarovitch into the vicious vampire count we all know and love today. As told by Variety , Netflix’s Ravenloft show is described as a “prestige fantasy series where adventure collides with gothic horror and tragic romance.” “Ravenloft and its Domains of Dread redefine adventure through character-driven stories of dark magic and supernatural intrigue. At the heart of the series, Ravenloft follows the making of the vampire Darklord Strahd von Zarovich, whose story of power, love, obsession, and undead transformation charts his origins from tragic antihero to one of Dungeons & Dragons’ most notorious villains,” the description reads. The series is created by John August (co-host of scriptwriting podcast Scriptnotes, Cor...

There's something odd happening on the StarCraft website . While the content still features StarCraft Remastered, which launched back in 2017, the page now seems to be glitching out, with various elements, images, and text blocks flickering on-screen randomly. Could Blizzard be teasing a new StarCraft game? That would make sense. A report earlier this year said that Blizzard had partnered with Korean gaming giant Nexon to develop a new StarCraft shooter. Blizzard declined to comment on the matter at the time, and the partnership remains unconfirmed, but a report yesterday from South Korean newspaper Chosun ( via Wccftech ) reaffirms that Nexon is seeking a license to develop a new StarCraft game. Meanwhile, Blizzard may have been working on its own new StarCraft game, as per a 2024 job posting for an "upcoming open-world shooter." Reports from that time suggested the title was in development at Blizzard, led by former Far Cry executive producer Dan Hay, who joined the...
