Universal and Nintendo have a massive hit on their hands with The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but now part of the press tour is being overshadowed by a grotesque viral stunt that never should have happened in the first place. During a recent interview, Mario Galaxy star...
Fans of Marvel’s most popular mutant may not have to wait much longer. According to multiple industry insiders, Insomniac’s upcoming Wolverine game is finally ready to step back into the spotlight with a brand-new trailer.
The controversy over Take Us North, the game in which the player must illegally sneak migrants into the United States from Mexico, just grew even bigger. A resurfaced GDC panel featuring Anima Interactive founder Karla Reyes revealed that before her studio developed its illegal immigration game, she had promoted another project about illegally crossing the Texas border to terminate a pregnancy.
Nintendo has a strange problem on its hands in 2025: the hottest “new” Mario Kart game isn’t the one it just launched on its brand-new console. Instead, it’s a re-release that first showed up over a decade ago. Yes, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is outselling Mario Kart World on the Switch 2.
Star Wars Outlaws is reportedly having major issues ahead of its launch on Nintendo Switch 2. But for anyone familiar with the game, this should come as no shock.
Sometimes, products and their placement in entertainment go together like peanut butter and jelly, a cool drink on a warm summer day, or E.T. and Reese’s Pieces. Symbiosis is good — unless it feels alien, like Venom. When Insomniac Games gave Miles Morales a Spider-Man costume inspired by an Adidas tracksuit in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, gamers reacted as if someone had put sardines on their s’mores and an Ovaltine ad in their decoder ring.
The failed co-op shooter Concord, just marked its one-year anniversary, and 50 weeks since its cancellation.

Anima Interactive, the studio behind Take Us North, one of the most controversial games of the year, has erased itself from the internet just days after growing scrutiny connected it to Microsoft, Wings Interactive, Sweet Baby Inc., and even the United Nations.
Wings Interactive endorsed and promoted the project, helping pipeline it into the indie circuit.
For years, BioWare’s Dragon Age franchise stood as one of the most respected names in fantasy RPGs. Fans waited 10 years for the long-promised return of the series, hoping for a revival of the magic that made Origins and Inquisition standouts. Instead, Dragon Age: The Veilguard (released October 31, 2024) has gone down as one of the most stunning disappointments in modern gaming that people won’t even play for free.
Microsoft is once again dipping into politics — and this time, it’s raising eyebrows worldwide. The tech giant is funding a video game called Take Us North, developed by Anima Interactive, that puts players into the role of a guía — essentially, a coyote — tasked with leading migrants illegally across the U.S.–Mexico border.
Bethesda has made headlines by bringing in a Dragon Age: The Veilguard writer as its newest Senior Quest Designer. On the surface, it looks like a studio securing an experienced RPG veteran. But for fans who watched BioWare’s latest release collapse under the weight of its own messaging, this news lands more like a warning.
HBO is moving forward on The Last of Us Season 3 — a season centered around Abby, one of the most deeply unpopular characters in modern gaming — by beginning production before all the scripts are finished. Showrunner Craig Mazin has admitted that while some writing is underway, the full slate of episodes won’t be complete before cameras roll.
