The Mortal Kombat movie launched in the US as planned yesterday, 23rd April - but it's nowhere to be seen in the UK.

Call of Duty: Warzone players have found a way to get under the new Verdansk '84 map just two days after it came out.

Recently, I finally had an opportunity to play Sucker Punch's samurai epic Ghost of Tsushima, and its story of the Mongol invasion of Japan made me think about the way games treat revenge. At the heart of it, waging war is taking revenge, a form of payback for an injustice committed to you. By challenging the concept of bushido, the idea there is an honorable way to fight war, Ghost of Tsushima basically affirms that in order to get even with someone, you sometimes have to fight dirty, something that's intrinsically much closer to our actual idea of revenge. Revenge is when the gloves come off. Paradoxically however, while the game takes a lot of effort in showing how its hero Jin takes no pleasure in sneaking around and using underhanded methods, they all feel very good to play.

Resident Evil Village arrives in exactly two weeks, on 7th May, and Capcom is attempting to stoke enthusiasm for its release with a needlessly convoluted demo roll-out that continues this weekend on PS4 and PS5 with a trek into Castle Dimitrescu. Consider this a reminder!

'Sony Interactive Entertainment presents'. We've all seen that splash screen, the white type on the black background transitioning into a polished branding sequence, culminating in the familiar cross/square/triangle/circle iconography - only this time it's not just manifesting on a PlayStation game, it's also happening on Xbox. All of them in fact, from Xbox One to Xbox Series X. This is MLB The Show 21, the first multi-platform release from PlayStation Studios. I've played the game across three Xbox machines and two PlayStations and the results are fascinating.

Refunds of Cyberpunk 2077 after its disastrous launch failed to dent CD Projekt's sales success.

What's going on over at Iron Gate these days? Giving trolls sculpted biceps, apparently, as the dev team has unveiled some upcoming changes to Valheim's creatures - and that includes toned muscles for the big blue boys.

Personally, I was pretty pleased with myself for getting to hard mode when I was playing Rock Band, but for some music game enthusiasts that simply isn't enough - they also need to defy the laws of physics. Earlier this week, one of the very hardest user-made tracks in the Guitar Hero community was beaten by streamer CarnyJared, and the video of it really is something else.

At launch, Marvel's Avengers was pretty clear about one thing: you couldn't have multiples of the same superhero in your squad. You couldn't have multiple Hulks or Iron Mans (Iron Men?), and you could only have one Ms Marvel. Which was a shame, because Ms Marvel was actually pretty great.

Bloodborne is one of the most celebrated platform exclusives for the PlayStation 4, but similar to the original Demon's Souls on PS3, there's the sense that momentum for the series has tailed off, despite enormous critical acclaim. There was never a sequel to the game, and not even a PlayStation 4 Pro upgrade was delivered. In the here and now, if you play Bloodborne on PlayStation 5, you have a 1080p experience at a wobbly 30 frames per second that is barely improved over the PS4 original. However, today, we can show how the game looks running flat out at 60fps via backwards compatibility, along with an additional pass of AI upscaling taking the action up to 4K. Put simply, you've got to see this.

Hello! Welcome back to our regular feature where we write a little bit about some of the games we've found ourselves playing over the last few days. This time: cards, cars and a thrilling demo.

Dicebreaker Recommends is a series of monthly board game, RPG and other tabletop recommendations from our friends at our sibling site, Dicebreaker.

Quite early on in Ghost of Tsushima, you'll be introduced to its dramatic, one-on-one duels. Two warriors, a dozen yards apart, face each other down across the divide. Up close: narrowing eyes and crumpled brows. Hands hover at hips, knees bend, feet press down into the earth, muscle, sinew and fingers tighten. Then - bang! - combat. It's a cracking moment, especially the first time you give one a try, and it's also a cracking example of what Ghost of Tsushima's all about. These heightened standoffs begin with shot-for-shot facsimiles of that famous scene from Yojimbo, an Akira Kurosawa classic that's both a mirror of older westerns and an inspiration for the '60s greats.

Bungie has finally detailed Destiny 2's long-awaited transmog system, and it sounds like a parody of the game's mission loops, management of multiple materials and optional microtransactions.

ScourgeBringer was going to be the last game on Vita. Maybe not the absolute last, but the last game that really felt like a Vita game. We'd get it and then a few weeks later the shop would close and that would be it. ScourgeBringer was the long bow with the crowd standing and applauding and probably weeping.

Call of Duty: Warzone's nuke event has come to an end - and teleported players to 1984.

Sony has announced it's teaming up with Firewalk Studios - part of ex-Bungie boss Harold Ryan's ProbablyMonsters studio collective - to create a new PlayStation-exclusive triple-A title focused on delivering "memorable multiplayer moments".

Earlier this week, the brief appearance of a mysterious PlayStation Plus Video Pass logo on Sony's official website set tongues a-wagging across the internet; now, Sony's provided some answers, confirming it'll be rolling movies and TV shows into its PlayStation Plus subscription service - but only in Poland for now.
