Metroid Prime 4 for Switch is a Bandai Namco joint
According to the folks over at Eurogamer, multiple sources have confirmed that Bandai Namco Studios Singapore is currently at work on Metroid Prime 4. The game got just the briefest mention during the Nintendo Switch launch and we don't expect to hear anything close to a release date for a while, but at least we know it's out there.
Annihilation director Alex Garland is ready for TV
Garland's working on a show for FX that will have more in common with Ex Machina than his upcoming sci-fi epic Annihilation. "It’s a sort of science fiction, but it’s a much more technology-based sci-fi, whereas Annihilation is a more hallucinogenic form of sci-fi, and more fantastical form of sci-fi," he told Fandango.
Get your hands on Kratos' package
The God of War himself is the latest gaming icon to get the Loot Crate treatment, with a $49.99 box of goodies. We can't promise there'll be a life size Leviathan Axe in there, sadly, but you can register your interest over at the official site now anyway.
