The latest trailer for the Netflix original animated series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness reveals even more of the upcoming adaptation, but it doesn’t really help to answer the question that’s on many Resident Evil fans’ minds: “When does Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness take place?” While even a quick dive into the Resident Evil timeline can give you a headache (just take a look at this), more people than ever seem to be interested in the Resident Evil chronology after Resident Evil Village‘s ending clearly referenced key events in the RE franchise and arguably positioned the series to “return” to that…

Paramount+, once known as CBS All Access, has mainly defined itself with an overwhelming wave of Star Trek television content. However, surrounded by high-end competition from Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the rebranded streamer is looking to live long and prosper beyond the space-faring franchise, having announced grandiose plans to expand its movie content. Most notably, sci-fi film Infinite, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Mark Wahlberg, will be the service’s first theater-skipping feature offering; a surefire sign of things to come. Obviously, the boat of box-office-bypassing movies already left its proverbial dock some time ago; a…

James Tynion IV has been writing Batman in some form or another for his entire career. He began his time at DC Comics by writing backup stories for Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman during the New 52 era, fleshing out the history of the villainous Court of Owls before landing his first owl-centric series titled Talon. Tynion was one of the lead writers on Batman Eternal and Batman & Robin Eternal, two weekly series that mainlined years of Batman continuity back into the New 52. And following the Rebirth reset, he got a long run with the Bat family…

Joshua Williamson has had his hands in just about every big DC story for the last five years. One of the longest-tenured Flash writers ever, Williamson has by necessity been in the middle of every time the DC multiverse tried to burst back into canon over the last five years. After all, you can’t have a Crisis without a Flash beat or three. But now, Williamson is getting the keys to the bus. Infinite Frontier #0 kicks off the post-Metal, post-Future State new status quo for the DC Universe in March. That status quo builds off of DC’s new multiversal…

This is a guest post from Brittany Cavallaro, author of the Charlotte Holmes series and the just-released Muse, the first book in a YA duology set in an alternate history American monarchy. The first time I played BioShock Infinite was the June when we were so broke that my then-husband started selling his plasma for money. When he wasn’t doing that, he was working as a roofer around Milwaukee while I twiddled my thumbs. I had a job lined up teaching writing that wouldn’t start for another three weeks. No temp agencies would have me. What had begun as a summer of…

Way back in September, DC’s second FanDome event dropped a huge announcement: DC Universe, the all-encompassing DC entertainment streaming app that featured comics, movies, and TV shows from the DC catalog, would narrow its focus to comics, becoming an app called DC Universe Infinite. The new app launches on Jan. 21 and brings with is a slew of changes, many of them for the better — at least if comics are what you’re looking for. Den of Geek got an early peek under the hood of the app and we have plenty of good news to share. How It Works…

DC Comics released a first look at its March comics, the first batch after the end of the multiverse-spanning Dark Nights: Death Metal and the pause-everything company wide reset Future State, and from our first glimpse of the solicitations, the big changes coming in Future State look like they might be sticking around. With the sheer volume of change that DC underwent in the last year – new distributors, new release days, personnel changes, cancellations and FanDomes included – there was a lot of speculation about the future of the comics line. This first batch of solicitations provide an interesting…

The revelation that the game will be released a year after its recently delayed debut has prompted some fans to ask the question, “How did we get to this point?” The answer to that question involves requires us to go all the way back to 2015 when Halo Infinite was little more than an idea. What began as the seemingly inevitable development of Halo 6 morphed into one of the deepest dives into development hell that we’ve seen in recent memory. The…

Described as a CG anime horror series, the upcoming Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness will follow Leon S. Kennedy and Claire Redfield as they embark on a journey that will “reveal a Resident Evil world unlike anything seen before.” Sadly, Capcom isn’t revealing many of the finer points of the show’s plot at this time.

DC’s streaming comics, movie and TV show streaming service is evolving in January.

A new report from Thurott reveals new details of what has been described as Halo Infinite‘s “turbulent” development process. The report cites “multiple people familiar with the development efforts behind 343” who help outline how Halo Infinite‘s development troubles seemingly date back to the earliest days of the project. While some suspected that Halo Infinite may be in some trouble when it was announced that the game’s original creative director, Tim Longo, left the company last year, this report suggests that Long’s decision to leave was really just the result of various issues that had been happening behind the scenes…

In a new interview with former Lex Luthor Michael Rosenbaum on his Inside of You podcast, Conroy revealed that he didn’t know just how…

The announcement that Halo Infinite would be delayed to 2021 sent shockwaves through the gaming industry. The delay has left some skeptics wondering how exactly the Xbox Series X will be able to compete with the PlayStation 5 when both consoles launch this holiday. After all, Microsoft had spent the last couple of years marketing Halo Infinite as a killer app for the Xbox Series X, a title that was going to be so much more than an Xbox Series X launch game. It was positioned to be the system-seller that the Xbox One struggled to find, not to mention…
