With Fortnite as the biggest name for collaboration, other titles like Call of Duty don’t want to be left behind. According to a new report, The Boys could be coming back soon to the Activision Blizzard franchise. The four seasons of the show will be released soon, and actress Karen Fukuhara was spotted at the Infinity Ward studios.
Fukuhara plays Kimiko in the hit series for Prime Video. Last year, characters like Starlight, Black Noir, and even Homelander were already available as skins on Modern Warfare 2. This possibility could be very real.
Call of Duty Possibly Anticipating Another Collaboration with The Boys A new crossover between Call of Duty and The Boys could be happening soon.
Activision Blizzard has collaborated many times; at some point, names like Godzilla or even Messi were already part of the game. More recent crossovers included Dune, Warhammer 40K, and more popular IPs. According to recent reports,...

Fans have a feeling that Taylor Swift wants her own Broadway show. She hasn’t had much luck in the Hollywood industry. Her acting career is dead on arrival.

Welcome to Streamers on the Rise, where we find streamers who are growing their channels, content, and audiences in extraordinary ways. Each week we’ll talk with a creator about what goes into livestreaming–both on and off camera.
Frogan had to quit streaming.
She was on the cusp of getting her master’s degree in public health, and her thesis was looming.
“[M]y advisor was basically like, ‘If you don’t give me a draft by next week, you’re not graduating on time,'” she tells Tubefilter. So, “I quit streaming. I was like, ‘I’m just going to focus on my thesis so I can graduate.'”
Frogan wasn’t a full-time streamer at that point, but it was something she enjoyed. She’d grown up a self-described “girlypop” gamer, who played things like Nintendogs and Animal Crossing. As she got older and continued to game, she...

Have you ever heard a song in a movie or TV show that’s so good that it inspires your muses? I’m one of those people who listens to music when she writes, and many of those songs come from a movie or TV show that slips in a tune that I have to listen to on repeat. A recent gem on the list is from the second season of Invincible from singer-songwriter d4vd. “Feel It” is peak writing fuel for my muses, so I was thrilled to learn that d4vd is also someone who’s inspired by the media around him. “I wrote songs like ‘Here With Me’ after watching the Disney movie Up ,” he said in our interview, and boy, does that add a Lot of context to that song. d4vd is also a huge anime fan, as seen when watching his videos.

With Chapter 5 Season 3 quickly approaching, Fortnite maker Epic Games has been hit with a hefty fine. This fine is linked to some alleged violations on the game’s store, and the studio has until June 10, 2024, to rectify these violations.
Epic Games refuses to accept this, claiming that the repercussions of such a penalty will adversely affect the gaming experience. They state that they will lodge an objection. However, the fact that an objection will be lodged does not absolve them of their obligation to impose some restrictions for players in the Netherlands, at least for now.
Netherlands Fines Epic Games for Allegedly Pressuring Fortnite Players Under the Age of 18 ACM fined Epic Games €1,125,000 for allegedly pressuring Fortnite players under 18.
The Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM) fined Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, €1,125,000 for allegedly pressuring Fortnite players under the age of 18 through ads to purchase skins in the game’s Item Shop.

A new Call of Duty bundle is out for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, and people aren’t as excited about it.
The ‘Vibrant Vixen’ bundle that carries a new operator skin and other goodies is being dragged by a few on social media for how out-of-place it looks. The issue with anime skins stretches far, and it might be the last straw for some.

Fortnite is still the talk of the town especially when the official page of the game casually teases a new collaboration with Marvel Studios’ Loki. The Disney+ series left a massive void and the live service game will fill in the hole with new content related to the successful show.

Putting any game under the nose of Insomniac’s Spider-Man games for comparison wouldn’t be fair. But some of them, including Fortnite and Marvel Rivals did a better job of portraying the web-slinger in contrast to others according to some fans. The latter game is still in development, but players are considering it the Overwatch 2 killer.
Spider-Man has been a pivotal superhero in the Marvel universe, and his depiction does have a profound effect on fans. They are already mourning the loss of The Great Web, which would’ve been the best Spider-Man game to date, and might expect to see Rivals make up for the loss, although not in full.

Kadokawa Announces Anime for Free Fire Mobile Game - Main Image
Many popular mobile games get anime adaptations, but most of them are RPGs that already have an anime-inspired art style. This time, it’s a popular shooter’s turn to get adapted. That’s because Kadokawa and Garena announced that a Free Fire anime is in the works.
This upcoming anime was revealed jointly by Kadokawa and Garena earlier today, and while there aren’t a lot of details announced so far, information about its production has been shared.
While Free Fire is no stranger to the world of anime, an anime adaptation is a surprise given that it’s a battle royale instead of a gacha roleplaying game.

Upon its introduction in 2018, Xbox’s Game Pass subscription service revolutionized the games industry, offering players access to a vast, Netflix-esque library of games for a reasonable monthly fee. Several publishers, and even direct competitor Sony, aped the idea for their own platforms.
As consumer-friendly as it seems, though, the service’s initial meteoric rise has plateaued over the past few years, with it even missing out on its growth targets consecutively. Microsoft recently reaffirmed its commitment to the service, but confidence in its sustainability remains shaky.
Former Microsoft PR Head Is Skeptical Of Game Pass
The service badly hurts premium game sales, which has been demonstrated in recent years.
In a recent LinkedIn post, former Microsoft PR lead Brad Hilderbrand pointed to Game Pass’ slowing growth over the years, and questioned whether it can regain its original momentum without a major shakeup. He stated that the “biggest paradox...

Agbo, the Russo Brothers’ media company, has launched an innovation department, expanding its physical and virtual production capabilities under the guidance of a seasoned executive team.
Under the new setup, Agbo’s technology experts will build proprietary creative tools, with the aim of fostering production innovation and cost efficiencies. The idea is for Agbo and its creative partners to be able to access the company’s emerging set of tools at every stage of development, production, and post-production.
Innovation will have three verticals: production technology, immersive technology and creative. It will be led by Jake Aust, who was recently promoted to Agbo’s Chief Innovation Officer. Over a 20-year career, Aust has been a producer on The Office and Russo-affiliated titles like TV’s Community and feature film Cherry. He was also an executive producer on The Gray Man and most recently served as Agbo’s President of Physical Production.

Agbo is going AI — at least it sounds like it is, at least in part.
The Russo Brothers’ independent studio announced on Wednesday the formation of a new Innovation department, which will blend Agbo’s “physical and virtual production capabilities.” The studio’s technologists will “build proprietary creative tools for storytellers, fostering production innovation and cost efficiency for content across diverse platforms,” the press release reads. The tools will be used in development, production, and post-production.
When reached by IndieWire, a spokesperson for Agbo declined to clarify how much of these tools will be AI or generative-ai. The use of AI in Hollywood is considered sacrilegious by some and an efficient use of technology by others. The truth is it can be both. AI has been the primary — or at least the most public-facing — issue in contract negotiations between the guilds and the studios.

Fortnite Festival has been a rather surprising addition to the Fortnite line-up, as it brought the familiar Guitar Hero-style gameplay that gamers have been begging for for years. However, this isn’t the only game that is bringing this familiar gameplay loop back into trend, as a new game on Steam has stepped up.
According to a recent post on Twitter/X, a new game will soon be coming to Steam, which is both a game and a learning tool for anyone who is looking to learn how to play the guitar or piano in a rather stylish and fun way.

Helldivers 2 is still the best-selling video game of the year, despite the recent controversies and negative reviews. The success of the game humbles director Johan Pilestedt but is firm that he will not follow the same move made by other game developers with ambitious crossovers.
While other developers found a way to capitalize on the idea of bridging different franchises together, Pilestedt will not allow that to happen with his game and is not interested in doing anything remotely close to it in the foreseeable future.
Johan Pilestedt Will Not Allow Any Crossovers With Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 will not take the same path as Fortnite as long as director Johan Pilestedt has a say in it.
While there are benefits of having crossovers, Pilestedt is adamant about keeping his game in a standalone universe without relying on other franchises as a crutch. Despite playing around on social media and throwing hints...

New transmedia company Iconic Arts launched Tuesday with $3.1 million in financing at a $20 million pre-seed valuation. The entertainment studio boasts support from screenwriter Eric Roth, Grammy winning artist Will.i.am and exec vets of Disney, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Jp Morgan.
Iconic Arts, which has opened offices in both Los Angeles and Tokyo, is founded by Steven Haddadian, Alec Roth, Matthew Medney, Mo Yazdani and Jack Sheehan.
Per Iconic Arts, “For the last year, the team has been developing an original slate of IP by using a unique workflow which combines talented creators with emerging technologies such as a set of proprietary AI-powered tools that help lower cost of development by up to 90%, while derisking negative audience sentiment. For example, one tool enables creators to materialize worlds for Ugc platforms such as Fortnite, Roblox or any multiplayer native environment with no code, while maintaining their art direction.

Disney is on the precipice of the entertainment industry’s white whale: Profitability in streaming.
The company reported its fiscal second quarter earnings early Tuesday morning, disclosing that its combined direct-to-consumer businesses of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ lost only $18 million last quarter, on revenues of $6.2 billion, and that when ESPN+ is removed from that equation, the entertainment streaming business was actually profitable, with revenues of $5.6 billion and a net profit of $47 million.
While the company warns that Q3 will be choppier thanks to some changes at Disney+ Hotstar, it says that expects the streaming division to be fully in the black in fiscal Q4, and to be a “meaningful future growth driver for the company” after that.
Charter’s big deal with Disney was also a major factor in the quarter, helping to cause Disney+ subscribers to surge by more than 6 million to 117.6 million, however the average revenue per subscriber...

Universal and Illumination’s smash The Super Mario Bros Movie finishes No. 1 to make it a wrap on Deadline’s Most Valuable Blockbuster tournament for 2023. While the industry is still coming out of Covid and the aftermath of the strikes, there’s no question about the major motion picture studios’ embrace of the theatrical downstream model; steamers such as Amazon and Apple realize the power of it too.
Last year’s wild ride saw the buckling of superhero movies, though Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse underscored fanboys’ hunger for something different in the genre. The year also showed that longtime box office emperor Disney can lose its clothes sometimes — in 2023 it was its overextension and hasty execution of IP Wish, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Haunted Mansion and The Marvels. Barbie and Oppenheimer, meanwhile, showed that perhaps the biggest box office weekends are best programmed with two tentpoles in the heart of summer.

There is always a new video game enthusiast emerging from Hollywood that people don’t know about. In this case, it is Tim Curry, the legendary actor who gave life to the first version of Pennywise, the famous evil clown from Stephen King’s novels.
In an interview with PC Format back in the 1990s, the actor revealed that he was a fan of the Game Boy and that he really used to play between takes while he was waiting for his next scene. He even told the interviewer that he suffered a robbery on set and that his console went missing, which made him really mad.

Epic Games’ biggest online video game, Fortnite, is reportedly collaborating with the popular prequel movie of Gege Akutami’s masterpiece, Jujutsu Kaisen 0. The series already collaborated with the game in 2023, but this time, the characters that will be introduced to have major roles in the movie.

Fortnite is known for collaborating with big media franchises, especially anime series like Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece, My Hero Academia, etc. However, this time, fans may not be happy with the alleged Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration. The reason for this is that, according to the reports, the character list that is announced does not include any villains from the series.
The previous collaboration, too, only focused on the protagonists of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. The antagonists of the series, which include Ryomen Sukuna, Toji Fushiguro, Geto Suguru, etc., are a big deal among anime fans. This has led to fans...

If you ever watched Pixar’s heartwarming, imaginative 2009 film Up and thought, “Wow, I’d sure love to see what that big floating house would be like to live in,” you might be getting your chance.
As a part of Airbnb’s new “Icons” line of vacation homes, the house from Up has been painstakingly recreated in Abiquiu, New Mexico and is available to book now. The Airbnb listing, which celebrates the 15th anniversary of Up, is “hosted” by the film’s protagonist Carl Frederickson and features a myriad of elements from the original film — Ellie’s Adventure Book, Dug the talking dog, and yes, the balloons. The listing features a photo of the balloon-laden property being lifted by a crane high up in the air, so if you rent, you might want to hold onto the porch railing when stepping outside.

There is not much that one can do to infuriate a game developer, but one thing that can put the whole studio on the edge is a leak of their upcoming video game. This is something that has been happening frequently in recent times, and Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs 3 was no different when it was time for the title’s official announcement.

It was merely a few days before the official announcement of the title when details about it were leaked on the internet, including how the player would be able to practically play as anyone you see in the game’s world. Being one of the featured mechanics in the game, it would have been infuriating for the developers to see it revealed early and by someone else rather than Ubisoft itself.

Fortnite‘s roster of crossover characters already comprises lots of well-known figures from the Star Wars universe. Fans of the mega-popular battle royale can play as characters like Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, Ahsoka Tano, and many more by way of previous collaborations.
However, Epic is gearing up for the game’s biggest Star Wars update yet, which is slated to release on May 3. Huge as the update may be, the recent announcement of a certain character has incited lukewarm reactions from fans: Lando Calrissian.

Lando first appeared in the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back as an old friend of Han Solo. Despite initially appearing helpful, Lando ultimately betrays Han and Leia to Darth Vader in exchange for the safety of Cloud City, a floating metropolis he governs.

Truly, Kohei Horikoshi sensei has given birth to some of the best fictional projects in the manga world, both one-shot projects as well as full-blown manga series. But while all of them have garnered considerable fan approval, none comes even close to My Hero Academia, the one series that caught almost the entire manga world in a whirlwind ever since it began a decade ago.

However, as much as fans love the superhero world of Mha, Horikoshi sensei seems to have a lot of trouble keeping the saga alive. The major reason behind this isn’t a lack of creativity, but rather, something that could leave his fans utterly surprised. Yet, this problem has a cure too, and just acquiring one quirk could perhaps set the mangaka free from all such struggles!

Kohei Horikoshi sensei has done the magnificent by creating a masterpiece series like My Hero Academia from a figment of his imagination. But while fans love the story and feel they can relate deeply to both the story and the mangaka, what they don’t realize is that the mangaka’s personal choices are far different than theirs when it comes to his favorite characters from the saga.

As it turns out, everyone’s favorite character from the Mha storyline ‘All Might’ is not quite the favorite character of the mangaka as well, even though it was Horikoshi sensei himself who created him. In fact, the mangaka prefers one other, more “rude” character over this fan-favorite one! Yet, as surprising as it may be, the true reasoning behind his choice isn’t so non-understandable either.
