After more than 10 years of development, the Uncharted movie finally finished filming in 2020 and is now awaiting its release later this year. Ahead of that, the movie’s official Twitter account shared some brand-new images from the film that offer a glimpse and tease about what to expect.

The key and the map stills were released earlier by Uncharted video game actor Nolan North. The other two appear to be new–check them out below.

The Uncharted movie stars Spider-Man actor Tom Holland as a young Nathan Drake, with Oscar-nominated actor Mark Wahlberg portraying Victor Sullivan AKA Sully. Also starring in the film is Best Actor nominee Antonio Banderas, while Tati Grabrielle (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and Sophia Ali (Grey’s Anatomy) are playing major roles as well.

It was a record-breaking holiday season for Steam, as Valve’s digital PC storefront reached a new all-time record for most concurrent users. However, the actual number of people playing games as opposed to having the Steam client open, did not break a record.

According to Steam’s own public stats, sometime around January 2, there were more than 25.4 million people logged into Steam at the same time. That’s a new all-time high.

Now, this doesn’t mean that more than 25 million people were playing games on Steam at the same time. The majority of accounts were idle on the day the record was broken, according to PCGamer. The site notes that 7.4 million people were playing games on Steam during the record-breaking day. This is not a record, as 8.1 million people were logged into Steam, and playing games, back in March 2020.

After a run of many years, the popular workplace comedy The Office has left Netflix and is now streaming exclusively (in the US, at least) on NBC’s own service, Peacock. With the move to Peacock, NBC promised some never-before-seen footage and other special content, and the network has indeed delivered.

NBC has published a previously unreleased cold open involving Dwight and The Matrix. Jim and Pam attempt to convince Dwight that he is indeed living in the matrix, with Hank the security guard playing the role of Morpheus. The sequence is best seen without knowing much more, so go ahead and watch it below. The video is dedicated to Hank actor Hugh Dane, who passed away in 2018.

NBC also released a 15-minute video that showcases some additional never-before-seen extra scenes, bloopers, and other wackiness. It’s not hard to see why some of this was cut, but it’s an enjoyable watch for fans of the show looking to get a peek behind the curtain.

Fortnite developer Epic Games has announced that it is moving its corporate headquarters to a new, significantly larger campus–and it sounds truly massive.

Epic has announced that it has acquired North Carolina’s Cary Towne Center, a mall of sorts that was built in 1979. As with many other shopping centers around the US, a number of its big box tenants, including Sears and JCPenny, have vacated in recent years.

The space is truly massive, coming in at 980,000 square feet, spread across 87 acres. The goal is for the new campus to open by 2024. The site will include office buildings and “recreational spaces.” Epic said its ambition is to “create a campus customized from the ground up to accommodate its long-term growth.”

After Christopher Nolan appeared at the 2020 Game Awards to present its highest honor, the Game of the Year, the director has since sat down with the awards’ mastermind Geoff Keighly to answer a handful of fan-submitted questions. One of the topics that came up was the question of whether Nolan would ever consider adapting his blockbuster films into a video game.

His answer? “It’s definitely something I’m interested in,” Nolan said, though that answer came with certain caveats. He explained that the possibility had been raised previously with some of his works–he specifies that he had already gone “fairly far down the road with” Inception–though his biggest priority is making sure it’s done properly.

“You don’t want to just be doing a licensed game, you don’t want to just be tying in with something and using the brand established by the film,” he explained. He made the comparison to the flip side of the coin, film adaptations of video games, in that they have to be approached in the right way if they’re ever going to succeed.
