Path Of Exile Dev Talks Mobile Version
A mobile version of the popular free-to-play RPG Path of Exile was announced at ExileCon this weekend in Auckland. From the start, the developers at Grinding Gear Games described the title as “experimental” in nature, which led to questions about whether or not it would be released.
Grinding Gear founder Chris Wilson told GameSpot that he hopes to release Path of Exile mobile, but not until the company can answer the important questions about what the game even should be. The studio has created a slice of the game aimed at what hardcore fans want to see, but where it goes from there–if Grinding Gear decides to continue the project–remains to be seen.
“I’d certainly like to release it–but if it’s bad, we won’t bother,” Wilson told GameSpot. “It’s looking good, so I’m expecting a release. [But] there’s questions. Does it have the Path of Exile 2 content? We can do that. I can basically press a button and it’s running on it. So it’s a matter of what do we want to position it as. Does it have its own storyline. We haven’t decided this kind of stuff yet.”
Path of Exile Mobile was announced during the ExileCon keynote with a silly, tongue-in-cheek trailer poking fun at some of the popular industry trends around mobile games. Path of Exile Mobile will not have any pay-to-win elements, and it’s being developed in-house as opposed to at a different studio.
The announcement trailer is well worth a watch–check it out in the video embed above.
Path of Exile Mobile was just one of the big reveals at ExileCon this weekend. Grinding Gear also announced Path of Exile 2, a new expansion for the base game, and more. For more on all the big reveals, check out GameSpot’s news roundup below.
Disclosure: Grinding Gear Games is paying for GameSpot’s flight and accommodation in Auckland, New Zealand to attend ExileCon.

Nicolas Cage To Play Nicolas Cage In A New Movie
Nicolas Cage, the Oscar-winning actor known for his roles in Leaving Las Vegas and the National Treasure series, is in discussions to play himself in an upcoming movie.
That’s right, Cage is reportedly finalizing a deal to play himself in a movie called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which is a darn good movie title if you ask me. The meta-movie has the very best description. From The Hollywood Reporter:
The character is desperate to get a role in a new Tarantino movie while also dealing with a strained relationship with his teenage daughter. He also occasionally talks to an egotistical 1990s version of himself who rides him for making too many crappy movies and for not being a star anymore.
Amazingly, it continues:
The Cage character is also under a mountain of debt and finds himself forced to make an appearance at the birthday party of a Mexican billionaire who happens to be a fan of Cage’s work and secretly hopes to show him a script on which he’s been working.
Believe it or not, it gets even better. THR says Cage bonds with this man, but he later learns that he’s actually a drug cartel boss who kidnapped the daughter of a Mexican president candidate who is working for the US government on intelligence-gathering. “The situation spirals even more dramatically when the Mexican brings over Cage’s daughter and his ex-wife for a reconciliation, and when their lives are on the line, Cage takes on the role of a lifetime,” reads a line from the description.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent will also contain references to famous Cage movies like Leaving Las Vegas (for which he won an Oscar), as well as Face-Off and Gone in 60 Seconds.
Film company Lionsgate reportedly outbid companies like Paramount and HBO Max for the film. Tom Gormican (Ghosted, That Awkward Moment) is reportedly set to direct off a script from Kevin Etten (Scrubs, Workaholics).
Cage is going to be paid big-time for The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, it seems, as THR says the actor should earn a payday in the range of what he was making for the National Treasure series and Con Air.

My Hero Academia Season 4, Episode 5 Review
This review contains spoilers for My Hero Academia Season 4, episode 5, “Let’s Go, Gutsy Red Riot.”
The previous episode of My Hero Academia, “Fighting Fate” was the highpoint of the season so far, opening with some clever exposition and quick twists, and ending with an extended conversation between Deku and All Might that left us all feeling drained and moved in equal measure. However, the one thing Episode 4 lacked was a good, engaging fight scene. And so, almost as a way of rectifying that, Episode 5, “Let’s Go, Gutsy Red Riot” explodes out of the gate with an exhilarating midnight kaiju brawl. Two larger-than-life fighters have taken their disagreement to the streets and are wreaking havoc, Godzilla style, before quickly being dispatched by two heroes-in-training.
Is a Classic Star Wars Planet in The Mandalorian?
Spoilers follow for the first two episodes of The Mandalorian.
With two episodes of Star Wars: The Mandalorian now available to stream on Disney+, and it’s second chapter being an awesomely action-packed and emotional adventure, fans are beginning to wonder exactly where this new saga is taking place.
What Planets Has the Mandalorian Visited?
Notably, on the series so far we’ve been to three planets – none of them named with title cards. There was the ice landscape where “Mando” caught his first bounty, the place where he turned in said bounty and got a new assignment from Werner Herzog’s “Client” character, and then the desert world he travels to, eventually discovering Baby Yoda.
