Developer Tripwire Interactive, the studio behind Killing Floor 2, announced that its shark-RPG Maneater will get a free PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/Series X upgrade when both consoles drop this November.
More specifically, the next-gen upgrade will be available on November 10 for Xbox Series S and Series X and November 12 for PlayStation 5. Things get complicated if you own a physical disc and decide to purchase either the PS5 Digital Edition or the discless Xbox Series S; you’ll have to repurchase the game.
The upgrade features ray-tracing support, native 4K HDR at 60 FPS, and new lighting effects to make shark attacks more gruesome. Tripwire went further to say that the Xbox Series S (and, likely, the Series X as well) will “benefit from increased graphical fidelity and frame rate.” According to an FAQ, this free upgrade is not a separate application or game; anyone who owns Maneater digitally or physically on either platform can upgrade to the next-gen version at no extra charge.
Furthermore, the upgrade supports cross-progression between versions. So, if you own Maneater digitally or physically on PlayStation 4 and upgrade to a PlayStation 5, all your stats, saves, and trophies carry over to the next-gen console. The same occurs between Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X. Tripwire said active subscriptions–PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live–may be required for the transfer to happen.
It’s worth noting that those who own physical copies of Maneater don’t need to worry about the disc being unplayable on the next-gen consoles so long as the consoles have disc drives. Tripwire confirmed in the FAQ that you simply need to “insert that disc into your next-gen console and download the updated game to play.” PC players will get next-gen updates in early 2021. Tripwire said it will share more details on those enhancements in the coming months.
While there’s no confirmation on a release date, Tripwire also confirmed that Maneater DLC is coming. The studio isn’t talking about this DLC or the still-unannounced Nintendo Switch port yet.
Maneater launched on May 22 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. It took the internet by storm, becoming one of the most-talked-about games despite the middling reception it received. We scored the game a 7/10 in our Maneater review, saying, “With the sharply written, hilariously delivered narration and story beats to freshen up the experience as you go along, Maneater becomes a goofy, fish-flopping romp, with a good balance of limbs to sever, boats to wreck, and challenging creatures to render into bite-sized chunks.”

Larry Hryb’s latest episode of the Major Nelson podcast brought together Xbox boss Phil Spencer and Bethesda’s Todd Howard and Pete Hines in the first interview since Xbox announced it acquired Bethesda. And while the respective company heads still kept a lot of details close to the chest, there were some details about the upcoming Starfield and what the union means for the two companies.
While Hryb primarily asked his panel of guests about the blockbuster deal where Xbox acquired all of ZeniMax Media — which includes Bethesda and studios like Arkane — Hryb did have a surprise question about the upcoming Starfield for Todd Howard.
Hryb asked Howard if there is any new information the Bethesda game director could share about Starfield, the studio’s long-in-development space RPG. While Howard refrained from sharing too much, he did reveal that the project will be a “major engine rewrite” which will utilize the next-gen systems.
“The people all know me, I like to wait as long as possible to show stuff so uh, we’re closer to show stuff than we were at the beginning of the conversation,” Howard joked.
Bethesda’s Creation Engine was the focus of some controversy back in 2018 when Howard revealed its next-gen games like Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6 would be using the studio’s proprietary game development tool. Though engines aren’t static and are upgraded with new features and tools regularly.
Other topics that were discussed include how the deal between Xbox and ZeniMax even happened, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer reiterated that it was all based on the long relationship between the two companies.
“For us there’s this long-standing relationship of what does it mean for [Bethesda] to build what they’re trying to build on top of our platform that makes, in many instances, us feel like one team,” Spencer said.
When asked if Spencer had any closing thoughts, he responded, “At a fundamental level our goal with every move that we make at Team Xbox is to enable you to play the games you want to play with the people you want to play with and where you want to play them.”
Spencer added, “I just want people to know that these kinds of partnerships, these kinds of steps whether it’s a technology move or a partnership move with a studio like Bethesda, are all just about furthering our vision there. Of allowing more people to play, giving creators the best place to build the most amazing things they can build, and find the largest audience they can.”

2019 was a huge year for the X-Men comic book line. Superstar writer Jonathan Hickman made his long-awaited return to Marvel to take the reins of the X-books and build a bold new status quo for mutantkind. That process began in the twin titles House of X and Powers of X, which established a new mutant nation on the island of Krakoa and revealed Moira MacTaggert to be the most important mutant in history. That paved the way for the Dawn of X status quo and a new wave of monthly comics exploring what happens when mutants finally have a land to call their own.
Now Marvel is gearing up for the next phase of Hickman’s overarching X-Men saga – X of Swords. This massive crossover will link together all of Marvel’s current X-Men comics and chronicle a major war between the X-Men and an army from another dimension. And to fight that war, the X-Men will need a whole bunch of swords.
If you’re hoping to follow along with X of Swords but don’t know where to start or what’s been happening in the X-Men’s corner of the Marvel Universe lately, we’re here to help. Read on for a primer for X of Swords and a breakdown of what books you need to buy over the next few months.
There’s no point in jumping into X of Swords before at least familiarizing yourself with the current status quo of the X-Men franchise, which is dubbed “Dawn of X.” Suffice it to say, a lot of things have changed in the year since Hickman took the reins. You can check out IGN’s full Dawn of X breakdown if you want all the juicy details, but we’ll try to recap recent events as succinctly as possible here.
Basically, everything Hickman is doing with the X-Men line builds out of one major plot twist. Moira MacTaggert, previously depicted as a human scientist aligned with Charles Xavier, was revealed in House of X #2 to be a mutant. And not just any mutant, but one with the power to die and reawaken in the womb with the memories of her previous lives intact. Moira is currently on her tenth life cycle, with most of her past lives spent in a seemingly futile quest to prevent mutantkind from being annihilated by Sentinels. Sooner or later, each timeline culminates with the creation of the unstoppable Sentinel Nimrod and the annihilation of the X-Men.
Moira was told by the precognitive mutant Destiny that this cycle will end with either her tenth or eleventh life, depending on the choices Moira makes. So facing what could be her final chance to ensure her people’s survival, Moira has launched her most ambitious plan yet. She’s managed to rally both Professor X and Magneto to her cause and helped them establish a mutant nation on the living island of Krakoa (the same island that tried to eat the X-Men way back in Giant-Size X-Men #1). Between that and the discovery of a way to repeatedly resurrect dead X-Men, the mutant race is finally on the rebound. But even with most of the world recognizing the sovereignty of Krakoa, it remains to be seen whether mutantkind can defy fate and finally ensure its own survival.
Sidebar – if this ambitious revamp of X-Men lore has you confused and wondering whether all previous stories have been relegated to older timelines, you’re not alone. We still have many burning questions about Dawn of X and the far-reaching implications of this reveal.
Krakoa has already weathered its first great test with the assassination of Charles Xavier in X-Force #1 (he got better). Now it faces its second test, with Apocalypse rallying the X-Men to defeat an ancient enemy from his own past.
Beginning in House of X and Powers of X and continuing in ongoing books like X-Men and Excalibur, Hickman and his collaborators have begun fleshing out the shared history between Apocalypse and Krakoa. While we already knew Krakoa itself is a mutant – a literal living island that can grow, change its shape and even communicate with others – it turns out there’s far more to the story.
Krakoa actually has a sister island named Arakko. Both islands used to exist as a single entity named Okkara, which was home to Apocalypse, his wife Genesis and other early mutants. Okkara was invaded by demonic hordes and split in two by a weapon called the Twilight Sword. Apocalypse and his First Horsemen (who are actually his children) waged a long and bloody battle against Annihilation, a god from a realm called Amenth. While Apocalypse managed to banish Annihilation and his hordes, Genesis, the First Horsemen and the land of Arakko were sealed away in another dimension.

Genesis has been continuing that war ever since, though it’s turned out to be an impossible challenge. It doesn’t help that Arakko’s greatest warrior, White Sword, betrayed his own people and joined with the armies of Amenth. That’s because White Sword’s mutant power makes him literally unable to lose a battle, forcing him to switch to the winning side. Genesis’ only hope now is to send her grandson Summoner to Earth to find his grandfather and bring reinforcements.
As you might expect, X of Swords is shaping up to be one of the most important Apocalypse stories in quite a while. Readers will continue to learn more about his history, his family and his true motivations for throwing his lot in with Xavier and Magneto. While Apocalypse ended his feud with the X-Men after recognizing they’ve become as strong and fit as he always hoped, it’s now clear he also has very personal reasons for returning to Krakoa.
X of Swords or Ten of Swords?
So why is the crossover called X of Swords? While Marvel is still keeping a great deal about this crossover under wraps, we do know swords play a key role in the conflict. The X-Men will need to arm themselves with various powerful swords before they can begin their newest mission. These enchanted weapons all have a connection to Otherworld, the realm from which every member of the Captain Britain Corps receives their magical powers and a key part of the Marvel multiverse. It appears that much of the crossover will actually take place within Otherworld, as the X-Men are drawn into a war between the invading armies of Amenth and Otherworld’s Queen Saturnyne.
Several X-Men already have a longstanding connection to various blades of power. Magik wields the Soulsword, a supernatural blade powered by her own soul. Wolverine, meanwhile, looks to be reclaiming the Muramasa blade, a katana tainted by his berserker rage and capable of killing even those with a healing factor. Rachel Grey is again carrying the Phoenix Blade, a Shi’ar weapon that used to contain a fragment of the Phoenix Force. Gorgon’s sword Godkiller may come in especially handy, as it’s drawn divine blood in the past. Godkiller also has a twin sword named Grasscutter.
Other X-Men have been acquiring swords in the lead-up to the main crossover. For example, Cable now wields the Light of Galador, a weapon treasured by the Spaceknights. As this teaser art shows, plenty of other X-Men will be picking up blades for the occasion, even Professor X himself:

We should point out the “X” in the title should be read as Ten, not the letter X. This story revolves around ten swords and ten pivotal X-Men, though there are more than ten of each in the image above. It may be that only ten of these swords have the magical power Apocalypse needs to save Arakko, and the rest are just fun little bonus swords for extra hacking and stabbing.
However, the title is also referencing the tarot card Ten of Swords, which traditionally represents betrayal, loss and heartache in its upright position and resistance and recovery in its inverted position. It’s not hard to see how those themes tie into the events of X of Swords. Plus, tarot card imagery previously played a key role in Powers of X, all of it connected to the futuristic X-Men from Moira’s ninth life.

The tarot cards seen above feature Rasputin and Cardinal, two genetically engineered “chimera” mutants from Moira’s ninth life. While both characters are now just relics of a dead timeline, X of Swords could somehow integrate them into this new timeline. There have already been signs Moira’s tenth life will take the same tragic turn as her ninth, with Mister Sinister paving the way for the mutant breeding pits and these futuristic chimera creations. We probably haven’t seen the last of Rasputin and Cardinal.
X of Swords: What Should You Read?
X of Swords isn’t structured like most of Marvel’s crossovers events. In the case of something like Civil War, Marvel published a core miniseries featuring the main story beats and further fleshed out that story with a number of ancillary tie-in books. But X of Swords is more in the vein of classic ’90s X-Men crossovers like X-Tinction Agenda and Apocalypse: The Twelve. There’s just one story to follow, and it plays out across all the ongoing X-Men comics in September, October and November 2020.
X of Swords spans no fewer than 22 comics. The story begins in the one-shot special X of Swords: Creation #1 (due out on September 23), before transitioning into ongoing titles like X-Men, Excalibur, Marauders, Wolverine and others. The event will finally conclude in late November with another one-shot special called X of Swords: Destruction #1. The recently released Excalibur #12 and X-Men #12 also serve as direct prologues to the crossover, as does Free Comic Book Day 2020: X-Men #1. You can see the full checklist and reading order below:
At 22 comics and assorted prologue tales, there’s definitely a steep price of entry into this X-Men crossover. If you’re wary of diving in or simply want to wait for reviews before making a commitment, you might be better off waiting for the X of Swords hardcover collection. That hardcover will be released immediately after the conclusion of the crossover on November 24 and will offer a somewhat cheaper alternative to buying the individual issues. Barring that, you can always wait six months for these comics to arrive on the Marvel Unlimited digital service.
But however you choose to read X of Swords, it’s clear this crossover will have a profound impact on the entire line and help shape the future of the X-Men in 2021. The X-Men won a huge victory when they established their mutant nation, and it’s probably all downhill for the mutant race from here.

Fear not, animation fans. Two of Fox’s heavy hitters are in no danger of cancelation any time soon. Deadline reports that both Bob’s Burgers and Family Guy have received two-season renewals on the network. They join The Simpsons, which already received its own renewal order for Seasons 31 and 32 back in 2019, as two more of the network’s major tentpoles.
President of Entertainment for Fox Michael Thorn offered this comment: “Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers are key pillars of our network’s success. By taking the genre to new heights and driving pop culture in meaningful ways, they’ve laid the foundation for making Animation Domination one of the most powerful program blocks in all of television. Both of these two-season renewals affirm once again our commitment to animation and empower us to continue in our build as the leader in the space with distinct and fresh new comedies. We’d like to thank Seth, Loren and their entire teams, not to mention our partners at 20th Television, and we’re excited to continue these great shows with them.”
The renewal marks Seasons 12 and 13 for Bob’s Burgers and Season 19 and 20 for Family Guy. The news comes just days away from the Season 11 premiere of Bob’s Burgers and the Season 19 premiere of Family Guy, both slated for September 27 on Fox. This appears to be yet another step in Fox’s expanding focus on its animation portfolio which includes newer shows like Bless the Harts, Duncanville, and the upcoming The Great North and Housebroken. Bless the Harts will also be making a September 27 return for its second season.

The Fall 2020 TV season is upon us. While the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has halted many productions this year, we still have quite a few TV series to look forward to this season. In late September, look for Utopia (Prime Video) and Fargo Season 4 (FX).
October is packed with shows, including Monsterland (Hulu), The Walking Dead Season 10 Part 2 (AMC), The Walking Dead: World Beyond, The Haunting of Bly Manor (Netflix), Welcome To Blumhouse (Prime Video), Star Trek Discovery Season 3 (CBS All Access), Helstrom (Hulu), The Right Stuff (Disney+), and The Mandalorian Season 2 (Disney+). If you’re missing the MCU, WandaVision will be releasing by the end of the year.
Perhaps as was to be expected, more of the films slated for release this year have been delayed, and that includes Black Widow. With the next movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe pushed until 2021, that clears the entire year’s slate of Marvel films–making 2020 the first year since 2009 without any new Marvel movies to hit theaters.
That will come as a surprise one way or the other, whether you think it’s shocking it’s already been a decade of annual (or more frequent) entries or that it’s only been a decade. Either way, it seems fitting that what has been such a weird year will buck tradition in yet another way.
The release of new Marvel movies is like clockwork. This year will be not only the first time we’re not getting one in a given year in over a decade, it’s also the first time since 2012 that we’re not getting two (and the first time since 2016 that we’re not getting three in a single year). A new Marvel movie hits theaters almost as often as the seasons change. I clean the unfortunate gap between the counter and my fridge less often. Their debut is a signal that it’s a time for me to change my toothbrush head. It’s how I know it’s time to consider (but not actually follow through with) canceling my unused gym membership.
Marvel Movie Release Years
2008: Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk
2010: Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger
2012: The Avengers
2013: Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World
2014: Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy
2015: Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man
2016: Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange
2017: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok
2018: Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-Man and the Wasp
2019: Captain Marvel, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home
If such a break had to come, this is the best time for it. Avengers: Endgame wrapped up the years-long story that had been set up over the course of the first three phases of the MCU. Marvel and Disney could barely wait two months to get the next movie into theaters, with Spider-Man: Far From Home coming along and teasing some things that looked like they might never pay off due to the now-averted crisis with Sony. It was time for the brakes to be applied–and that was the plan, with Black Widow originally scheduled for a May 2020 release. It just turns out the hiatus will be much longer than intended.
As a prequel, it doesn’t feel as if Black Widow will be the main kicking off point for Phase 4, even if it is technically the first of its movies that will hit theaters (eventually). Whatever the case, it’s not as if fans were left dangling on a cliffhanger.
And beyond that, we’re not completely devoid of any Marvel-centric content right now. Game fans got a surprisingly solid story campaign to enjoy in Marvel’s Avengers, while Disney+ subscribers will get WandaVision later this year. That’s another new release, like Black Widow, whose function in the MCU’s broader canon that is unclear at this point, although the recent trailer was certainly intriguing (and, frankly, another more standalone story would be welcome after so much time was spent building up to Infinity War and Endgame).
No doubt the Black Widow delay was in some part made for financial reasons–Tenet hasn’t exactly set the world on fire as many people understandably stay away from theaters–but it’s nonetheless welcome news that people aren’t being asked to go and sit in a room together. That said, there is a certain comfort in seeing the nonstop procession of Marvel movies hit theaters, and the prospect of now going almost two full years without one is just the latest indication that 2020 is not a normal year on any front.

Earlier this week, Microsoft announced another massive acquisition with the purchase of Bethesda and all its properties and studios. Since then, a rumor has suggested that the Xbox parent company was preparing another big announcement at the Tokyo Game Show, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Rumors suggested that Microsoft was lining up a purchase of Sega and its properties, which today include everything from Sonic the Hedgehog to Persona 5. An announcement at the Tokyo Game Show would’ve made sense too, given Microsoft’s struggles in Japan with regards to Xbox sales. In a summary of what to expect from its showcase, Microsoft shot down the rumors entirely.
…and btw, there won’t be any new acquisition news at the show ⛔
The rumors became so widespread on social media that it quickly became a running joke. Some unearthed a tweet from Sega’s Twitter account from August that was argued as a hint for the announcement, while others embraced the absurdity with connections to some of Microsoft’s latest Xbox products.
The Xbox Tokyo Game Show showcase will include some new looks at Microsoft Flight Simulator, some Japanese Minecraft creator showcases, and more. It will not include any new next-generation news, with Microsoft also confirming that the stream will only be broadcast in Japanese.
After its purchase of ZeniMax Media and its subsidiaries, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella did state that the company was looking at acquiring more studios in the future. Over the past two years, the Xbox Game Studios brand has grown significantly, now including Ninja Theory, Playground Games, Obsidian, and Double Fine. With the purchase this week, that now includes id Software, Bethesda Softworks, Arkane Studios, and MachineGames.
The Xbox Series X and Series S both went up for pre-order this week, with available stock still fluctuating at a variety of retailers. To keep up with where you can get your preorders in for an Xbox Series X or Series S, check out our preorder guide for notifications on stock.

After stepping down as CEO from Blizzard Entertainment in October 2018 and leaving the company entirely in April 2019, former company president and co-founder Mike Morhaime is still working in the industry. Despite his apparent absence or silence, Morhaime has now established a new company.
Dreamhaven is Morhaime’s new base of operations. It’s a company that will “create and publish original games for players around the world” and aims to “empower creators, help bring their ideas to life, and create original gaming experiences that foster meaningful connections between players,” according to a blog post. In announcing this new publishing house, Dreamhaven also unveiled two new studios.
Moonshot Games is led by three ex-Blizzard developers who worked on titles such as Command & Conquer, Hearthstone, and Heroes of the Storm. The studio is also comprised of other employees who contributed to “some of gaming’s most popular franchises.” These franchises weren’t specified in the blog post.
The other development house, Secret Door, is similar to Moonshot. It’s also composed of developers who worked on Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm, as well as Starcraft II and Warcraft III. Secret Door also has employees with “extensive industry experience [that] are beginning to explore new game experiences together.”
Neither team has confirmed whether it has games in development.
Morhaime’s Dreamhaven is joined by Ben Thompson (Hearthstone creative director), Dustin Browder (Starcraft II lead designer), and Jason Chayes (former Blizzard Entertainment executive producer) at Moonshot and Alan Dabiri (Heroes of the Storm game director), Chris Sigaty (StarCraft II executive producer), and Eric Dodds (original Hearthstone game director) at Secret Door. Morhaime also expressed excitement at the prospect of Dreamhaven’s potential to bring people together through the power of games.
“I’m excited to team up with such talented people who care deeply about games and their communities,” said Morhaime. “I’ve always believed in the power of games to bring people together regardless of backgrounds or boundaries. With Dreamhaven, we look forward to creating and sharing new experiences with players everywhere.”
In other Blizzard news, the company announced that Blizzard Online (or BlizzConline, as Blizzard calls it) will take place in February 2021. The event will be hosted remotely and is expected to feature news about Blizzard’s upcoming games, such as Diablo IV and Overwatch 2.
