An item has finally launched that lets you change teams: the Team Medallion.

While a week ago it seemed Overkill’s The Walking Dead was still set for release on PS4 and Xbox One, Skybound Entertainment, overseer of The Walking Dead license, has now announced the game will no longer be coming to consoles, and support for it on PC will be discontinued.

In a statement sent to IGN, Skybound confirmed it has ended its contract with Starbreeze Studios “and will discontinue all efforts on Overkill’s The Walking Dead.

The company’s full statement reads:

As of today, we have terminated our contract with Starbreeze Studios and will discontinue all efforts on OVERKILL’S THE WALKING DEAD. Our creators and their stories are the core of Skybound, and since 2014 we have worked hard to expand the world of The Walking Dead into an exceptional Co-op Action FPS. We did our best to work with Starbreeze and resolve many issues that we saw with the game, but ultimately OVERKILL’S THE WALKING DEAD did not meet our standards nor is it the quality that we were promised. We are exceedingly sorry to our fans and share their disappointment in the game. We remain dedicated to providing our fans with the most premium quality content we can offer, and will continue to look for alternative video game options for the IP.

Hunt down the treasure chests you need for the Legionnaire challenge with this guide.

We’re finally getting a Pokemon Direct for the first time in more than a year on February 27 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. GMT and February 28 at 1 a.m. AEDT (sorry Australia.) While we don’t know for sure that it will focus on the core RPG Pokemon title for Nintendo Switch, why else have a Pokemon Direct if Nintendo isn’t going to discuss the incredibly highly anticipated Generation 8? Yeah, we’re rolling with that. Here’s what we expect (and hope for) from tomorrow’s Pokemon Direct.

If we can rely on any single detail being revealed in the February 2019 Pokemon Direct, it’s the name of the Generation 8 Pokemon Nintendo Switch games.We first heard about the Gen 8 Pokemon games back at E3 2017, and we learned in May 2018 they would be arriving worldwide in Fall 2019. It’s about time we learned, at the very least, the name and logo of the new games releasing this year. We got at least that much from the 2016 Pokemon Direct for Pokemon Sun and Moon.

Netflix didn’t win Best Picture for Roma as had been widely predicted, but that doesn’t mean the streaming giant’s Oscar dreams are at an end; it’s only getting started. Roma won four Academy Awards Sunday night, including Best Director and Foreign Film. The reason why Roma ultimately came up short for the Academy’s top honor remains a matter of debate, but what is indisputable is that between its Oscar wins this year and recent admission into the MPAA, Netflix is now a fully fledged member of the Hollywood elite. And it’s here to stay.

The streaming platform may have first made waves in the TV realm by creating its own acclaimed original series, but Netflix has long craved the respect (and, yes, the awards glory) shown to Hollywood film studios. Given the sheer volume of movie content on its platform, the relentlessness of its announcements of new titles, and the overall lackluster quality of many of the original films they’ve so far released, Oscar gold certainly goes a long way to dispel the notion that Netflix is just a dumping ground for films that couldn’t cut it theatrically.
