On the Microsoft Store, fans of zombie action-adventure series Dead Island can now pre-order Dead Island 2 for Xbox One. The listing shows a price of $59.99 and has a description that reads “Welcome to Dead Island, where Paradise meets Hell.” The listing also says that the Dead Island 2 release date is December 31, 2019, though this is most probably a placeholder date ahead of the official announcement. The listing does allow fans to successfully place a pre-order for the game....

The Dead Space remake is likely still a couple of years away, so players new and old will be itching for a fix of the series until its release. In the meantime, aside from revisiting the original trilogy, there is a slew of multimedia content to dive into for those interested in exploring the far corners of the Dead Space universe. This additional content primarily came in the form of comic books and animated feature films, and the most notable entries should give a good idea for what curious fans can expect from the franchise....

Bagwell confessed he wasn’t heavily involved with writing the game’s dialogue or story before explaining how the needle scene takes its basis from children’s nursery rhymes. In an interview with Polygon, he said, “[…] there was a producer, I think John Calhoun, who threw out the idea of the old children’s saying, ‘Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.’ That came up.” This idea stuck, exciting the team as they deliberated on how to implement it into Dead Space 2’s story before they considered “What if you stick this needle into his brain somehow to extract information?...

When Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise launched it had severe performance issues on the Switch and was criticized for its handling of a transgender character, for which the game’s director later apologized. Over time, Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise was patched to have its performance greatly improved and eliminate its infamously disastrous framerate during outdoor traversal that sees the protagonist skateboarding around the quiet small town the game is set in....

Ethan Kollie, 24, struck a plea deal with federal prosecutors whereby he admitted to owning firearms while being a marijuana user—a violation of prohibited possessor laws which restrict access to guns by illicit drug users—and lying on a form he submitted to a firearms dealer in order to acquire new weapons. He could face up to 15 years in prison when U.S. District Court Judge Thomas M. Rose hands down a sentence in February, although guilty pleas tend to curry significant favor with judges....

They saw off Atlanta United on Saturday to register successive wins on the road.

After CSK’s last-ball win over KKR, Mumbai Indians became the first team to qualify for the play-offs in IPL 2020. However, it’s not a dead rubber for Mumbai Indians, as the defending IPL champions look to seal a top-two spot that will give them two opportunities to reach the final. MI’s batting unit has been held together admirably by Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav in the absence of Rohit Sharma, who is facing an injury concern....

The Red Devils and their fans have been buzzing in the last few days following the signing of Cristiano Ronaldo. While the Portuguese superstar is yet to kick a ball, his soon-to-be team-mates had some business to take care of before his eventual arrival. Last week’s 1-1 draw with Southampton was a massive reality check for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side and they were given another scare when they traveled to Molineaux to face Wolves....

The long-time Real Madrid star also confirmed that De Gea will keep his place in goal as Spain’s quest to regain the World Cup, which they won in 2010, continues. De Gea fumbled an effort from Cristiano Ronaldo from distance in Friday’s 3-3 draw with their Iberian rivals and made a similar mistake in a warm-up match against Switzerland earlier this month. Criticism for the goalkeeper has been widespread following his latest blunder but Hierro, set for just his second match in charge of La Roja, has confirmed that De Gea will start against Iran on Wednesday....

One-club man De Rossi has played 615 games in all competitions for Roma, behind only former team-mate Francesco Totti in Giallorossi history. The 35-year-old, an eight-time Serie A runner-up with Roma, does not intend to retire and is expected to move from Italy for the last years of his playing career. De Rossi confirmed he would have preferred to stay at Roma, who offered him an off-the-pitch role, despite only starting 14 Serie A games this season....

Case in point: there are two asymmetrical multiplayer games in development that use horror as their foundations. One, the successful Kickstarter-funded Friday the 13th Game will pit groups of players, as camp counselors, against a single, player-controlled Jason Voorhees, whose sole goal is to kill everyone. The other less known project is called Dead by Daylight, and while it does bare some similarities to Friday the 13th’s concept, there are some wrinkles unique to the game as well....

Since Dead by Daylight’s launch in June 2016, Behaviour Interactive has continued to pursue collaboration content for its asymmetric horror game. The original game launched with just three killers, all of which were original releases. But it would be just months later when Michael Myers of Halloween would join as part of Dead by Daylight’s major Chapter DLC release, allowing the horror film villain to stand apart. In the years since, Behaviour would continue to use this style of Chapter DLC to make each Killer’s release a spectacle full of lore and fun beyond just a new character....

The dead animal was spotted on a patch of gravel on the edge of the Yellowstone River north of Gardiner, Montana, in June and officials had planned to remove it from the area. On June 10, the bear was still intact and officials were looking to transport the animal the next day either via boat or helicopter. But that night, someone cut off the bear’s head and paws. State and federal authorities are now looking for the individual or individuals responsible for cutting the head and paws off of the dead bear....

The third Dead Island game spent much of the last decade in development hell, changing studios on two occasions and even bankrupting its original developer Yager Productions, a subsidiary of the still-operational Yager Development. In 2019, the troubled project ended up with Nottingham-based Dambuster Studios, a Deep Silver unit established from the remnants of its 2014 Crytek UK acquisition. While the game was hit with yet another postponement in November, Dambuster remains confident that it’s close to wrapping up development by early 2023, whereas many fans are agreeing that the latest Dead Island 2 delay is probably for the best....

The recently revealed Dead Space remake will not feature microtransactions, with developer EA Motive saying that it never plans on adding them to the game. While EA is known for having games with microtransactions, it has shown a willingness recently to release narrative-driven experiences with no microtransactions, like 2019’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and It Takes Two, the critically-acclaimed co-op game that launched earlier this year.

The deadline comes after the NIH lambasted the research group for failing to disclose in a timely manner the results of a test in which mice became sicker when infected with an engineered coronavirus than they did with a normal bat coronavirus. Funding for the tests came from the NIH on the condition that if any engineered viruses turned out to show a 10-times-faster growth increase then EcoHealth Alliance (EHA) would have to notify the NIH immediately to see if extra safety measures were needed....

It is still uncertain what capacity Deadpool is involved in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, such as whether fans need to express their desire for him to be added or not. But there is more reason to believe he could be added as a post-launch character. It will be interesting to see what Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ regular gameplay looks like in its endgame, let alone its New Game Plus runs. It seems as though there will be countless hours to spend in-and-around the Abbey in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, and if Deadpool was allowed to be let loose within its walls, the game could become much more hysterical....
