All future Halo first-person shooters released by 343 will feature split-screen gaming, studio head Bonnie Ross revealed during a DICE conference talk. “We’ve also had a lot of learnings along the way,” said Ross (as transcribed by Eurogamer). “When we fell down with multiplayer launch of MCC, or when we didn’t put split-screen in with Halo 5, it was incredibly painful for the community and for us. It erodes trust with the community, as the community is a part of our world-building....

It looks like Warner Brothers and DC’s boldest comic movie gamble yet may just pay off. Joker, director Todd Phillips’ take on the iconic DC comic villain starring Joaquin Phoenix, just premiered at the 76th Venice International Film Festival. Publications and fans have now registered their impressions online…and those impressions are mostly of rapturous praise.

The following contains spoilers for Killing Eve season 3 episode 8. Killing Eve season 3 opens with about as bold a declaration of intent as possible. Episode 1 “Slowly Slowly Catchy Monkey” did the unthinkable and killed off Kenny Stowton (Sean Delaney), former MI6 agent, son of Carolyn Martens (Fiona Shaw), Tottenham Hotspur fan, and irrepressible lover of bare legs. It was a tragic moment for Killing Eve and one that set up the entire season to come....

Square Enix has announced that Kingdom Hearts 3 will receive its Critical Mode update today, giving players a chance to tackle the Disney-RPG on its hardest difficulty setting. Fans of the series should be familiar with Critical Mode, as it’s been featured in a number of previous Kingdom Hearts games, and includes variants such as increasing the amount of damage you take and fewer gains from AP and HP bonuses. ‘Greetings, it’s been a while since I last posted,’ Tweeted Tetsuya Nomura....

There is a Death Stranding-themed jacket that is priced at an eye-watering €1,752, equivalent to approximately $1,900 or £1,500 (via Eurogamer). If money’s no object, then I have unfortunate news to break—the jacket is sold out for the time being. The piece is a collaboration between Kojima Productions and German techwear retailer Acronym, and was intended as a unique raincoat for Hideo Kojima, but then got a limited release through the company....

Lara Croft is coming to Rainbow Six Siege. As part of a special crossover with the Tomb Raider franchise, the talented archeologist-cum-vandal will appear as an elite skin in Year 5, Season 1 of the tactical shooter’s content schedule. Lara’s costume will be available as a skin for SWAT officer Ash. As an elite skin, the costume will have to be purchased separately using in-game credits. This purchase will also provide the player with custom skins for a variety of weapons, a unique Tomb Raider-themed victory animation (which presumably doesn’t involve Lara’s signature move of desecrating a historical site by smashing things), and a chibi Lara Croft charm....

As an upcoming tech hub, New Jersey has often been overshadowed by more well-known tech hubs like New York City and Silicon Valley. The state offers a unique and attractive environment for tech companies, including a supportive legislative environment that favors the growth of tech businesses. One such initiative is the Technology Business Tax Certificate Transfer Program. This program allows approved companies in the tech and biotechnology industries to sell off their unused net operating losses and research and development tax credits for at least 80% of the value of the tax benefits to a profitable, non-affiliated New Jersey corporate taxpayer....

Mortal Kombat 11 has been entertaining players with new playable characters alongside the brutal fighting that has made the series so memorable. In the wake of the excitement around the most recent game, it seems that Mortal Kombat has also been on the mind of the creators of Family Guy as they dropped a not so subtle reference in last night’s episode. It was a fantastic nod to the early games and the cheat codes that were once so important to players....

Despite its name, The Legend of Zelda is the chronicle of Link. Sometimes he’s a simple boy suddenly thrust into a great destiny. Other times he’s a young man who sleeps in but is a reliable figure in his community. But however he starts, his journey forges him into a tried-and-true hero clad in green (Well, except for that whole Wild business). Link is one of gaming’s most iconic characters. His many artists deserve a lot of credit for that....

Sonic getting a live-action makeover and being in his very own movie is all well and good, but when are we going to see movie Sonic speed into the video game world? 2019 has been a big year for “fans” complaining about things they haven’t even seen or played yet. Marvel’s Avengers and Pokémon Sword and Shield are two big examples of that. The former caved and tweaked its designs, while the latter held firm and enjoyed just as successful a launch as it would have expected....

Smartphone spin-off Mario Kart Tour will receive a multiplayer update in September which will add “new ways to play”. This seems likely to be the game’s Battle Mode update, after files hinting to its inclusion were found a couple of months ago. “With the Mario Kart Tour multiplayer update at the end of September, we’re adding new ways to play multiplayer,” Nintendo wrote, “and removing Gold Races (available only to Mario Kart Tour Gold Pass subscribers; see in-game notification for more details)....

Avengers cast members who tend to spill a little too much in the way of spoilery details have been narrowed down to a duo of usual suspects at this point. Taking the gold medal in this regard is young Tom Holland, who most infamously spoiled Spider-Man’s dusty death to a packed cinema full of fans who hadn’t even seen Avengers: Infinity War yet. Following closely behind him in the silver medal position is Mr....
