    A true gentleman leaves no puzzle unsolved.

    For everyone who has missed the puzzle book adventures of Professor Layton and his extremely annoying apprentice Luke, Level-5 just released a gameplay trailer for the upcoming Switch game New World of Steam. It looks like, well, Professor Layton, but with a strong steampunk vibe and updated graphics. Unfortunately it’s not launching until 2025.

    Gamescom expands to Brazil.

    E3 may be dying, but Gamescom is moving in the opposite direction. The convention just announced that it’s adding a third event to its slate: it’ll take place in São Paulo from June 26th to the 30th, joining existing conventions in Germany and Singapore. The team aren’t starting from scratch, however, and will be partnering with the existing Big Festival.

    Fortnite’s The Big Bang event is looking pretty trippy.

    We know that the live event will feature Eminem and mark the end of the nostalgia-soaked Fortnite OG. But the latest tease also makes it seem like some cosmic weirdness will go down as well. We’ll find out soon: The Big Bang kicks off in-game on December 2nd at 2PM ET.

    “It’s a different sort of vibe.”

    That’s Zack Snyder in Wired talking about the differences between theatrical and streaming movies — particularly when it comes to grabbing people right away — ahead of the release of Rebel Moon on Netflix.

    On the streamer, though, you have to be careful with the opening of the movies because the barrier for entry is really easy. But also the barrier for leaving is very easy. The balance is a lot more difficult on a streamer than in a theater.

    It’s not the World Cup but,

    it’s still pretty big. EA’s messy split from FIFA means that the word’s biggest soccer tournament won’t be part of EA Sports FC. But next summer the game will at least be getting a free update for Euro 2024, which might be the next best thing.

    Meep meep.

    While Star Wars continues to feature new aliens engineered in a lab for maximum cuteness, Doctor Who is moving in the opposite direction. Just look at this thing. I very much relate to Donna at the end of the clip below. The Meep, as it’s known, will make an appearance in “The Star Beast,” one of a trio of Doctor Who specials coming over the winter.

    *pounds table* Show me the creatures.

    This is the second teaser for Netflix’s Gyeongseong Creature, following a release date announcement at Geeked Week earlier in the month. And while the show looks great, I am just itching to see what these creatures actually look like. I guess we’ll find out pretty soon: part one of the series starts streaming on December 22nd.
