A fan project to bring the famously-deleted P.T. to PC has been forced into cancellation by Konami, but the developer of the remake has been offered an internship at the company.

Hideo Kojima’s cancelled Silent Hills teaser has had a number of remakes, but a recent example, ‘PT for PC‘ by 17 year-old developer Qimsar, was looking pretty impressive – and close to being finished.

Unfortunately the project has been shut down by Konami due to “legal issues”, but in an update, Qimsar says that he has been offered an internship at the publisher, working with its EU, US and Japanese offices. On top of the internship, Konami is hooking up Qimsar with some merch and video games.

Supergirl has cast Smallville alum Sam Witwer as Agent Liberty in Season 4.

EW reports Witwer will portray the character as a villainous and terrifying founder of the Children of Liberty hate group, which supports a human-first world order. This’ll prove to be a problem for Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and the DEO, who are pro-alien integration.

Witwer played Doomsday in Smallville Season 8. He’s also known for his numerous Star Wars voice roles. He’s portrayed Starkiller in The Force Unleashed video games and Darth Maul in both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels.

Microsoft is preparing for Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, and has started to tease what we can expect out of the show. Among other surprises, the company is promising “new hardware and accessories” for Xbox. But don’t get your hopes up for a massive console reveal just yet.

The tease comes from a Major Nelson blog post detailing the company’s Gamescom plans. It will be hosting a live Inside Xbox show from the Xbox booth on Tuesday, August 21, which boasts “lots of news, all-new Xbox hardware and accessories, and features on upcoming titles that we can’t wait to tell you more about and perhaps even a few surprises.” It’s doubtful the company would out the successor to the Xbox One X this way, so set your expectations around possible hardware revisions or controllers.

The post also teases that Gamescom will feature demos of Forza Horizon 4, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, plus the first playable demos of State of Decay 2‘s Daybreak Pack and a new mode for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Last year, Microsoft’s Gamescom presentation included a special Minecraft Xbox One X and a special “Project Scorpio” special edition that paid homage to the first Xbox.

Each Tuesday, Sony updates the digital PlayStation Store with a new set of deals. The current sale is relatively small–especially compared to the massive Mid-Year Sale last week–but the deals it has are pretty appealing, especially if you’re a fan of Fortnite or Grand Theft Auto V. Let’s take a look at what games PS4 owners can save money on this week.

In a deal that’s sure to please many of the millions of fans out there, all Fortnite packages are half off on PS4. Why pay money for a game that’s free? These Founder’s Packs come with the “Save the World” PvE mode, plus an assortment of in-game goodies. For instance, the Standard Founder’s Pack ($20, down from $40) includes four exclusive in-game banner icons, six Daily Loot Pinata Packs, and an exclusive Founder’s Loot Pinata Pack. If you want to go all in, you can get the Limited Edition Founder’s Pack for $75 (instead of its usual $150). It comes with lots of additional exclusives items, plus XP boosts, extra inventory slots, and more. Note that Epic says Save the World mode will be free for all players once it leaves early access.

Middle-earth: Shadow of War is on sale for $20 this week. It just received a major update that addresses common complaints, including removing the in-game marketplace, making sweeping changes to Shadow Wars, and tweaking the Nemesis system. If any of those issues kept you from playing before, now would be a good time to dive in.

Grand Theft Auto V is on sale for $20–its lowest price ever on the PlayStation Store. Also on sale is the Premium Online Edition, which comes with the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack to help players “jumpstart their criminal empire.” And if in-game cash appeals to you, you can save money on various bundles that come with GTA bucks for use in GTA Online.

A handful of pre-order deals are also available now. You can get Darksiders III Digital Deluxe Edition for $70 instead of its usual $80. The much-acclaimed action platformer Dead Cells can be reserved for $20 instead of the $25 it’ll cost when it launches next month. And Shenmue I & II, also launching next month, gets a modest $3 discount, bringing it to $27.
