The Invincible is a brief, harsh dose of sci-fi that strands players on an alien planet and then tasks them with figuring out just what the hell is going on. I really enjoyed my time with the game — check out my full review — and it launches today on the PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC.

We still don’t know when the next season of Stranger Things is coming, but Netflix has at least released some details on the upcoming prequel, The First Shadow. It’s set in 1959 and is billed as an origin story for a number of important Stranger Things elements including Vecna and the Upside Down itself — the twist is that it’s a stage show that opens up in London in December. You can get a taste for it in the teaser below.

The game’s first musical collaboration, which includes some new skins and a music video, culminated with a Le Sserafim performance closing out this year’s BlizzCon. If you missed it live, the band is posting clips on TikTok.

The return of the Overwatch World Cup — which has been on hiatus since 2019 — ended with the kind of upset few would have predicted, as Saudia Arabia topped China to win the two-day tournament at BlizzCon 2023. If you missed it, you can check out the full highlights right here.

This week’s entertainment releases are headlined by the second season of Invincible, which has started streaming on Prime Video. Elsewhere, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla is now in theaters, Quiz Lady is streaming on Hulu, and it’s a good time to catch up on Loki ahead of the season 2 finale next week.

Blizzard still knows how to make a good cinematic. Here’s some more evidence: this trailer for Cataclysm Classic, which launches in 2024.

Well guess what, Hearthstone is almost 10. The game will celebrate the milestone next March, and in the meantime, a Wild West-themed expansion called “Shadow in the Badlands” is launching on November 14th.

Blizzard announced the next hero coming to Overwatch 2, but also teased some additional stuff that’s on the way. That includes a new damage hero, a new support hero, a new map, and a new game mode. It’s all due in 2024.
