Hideo Kojima is very active on Twitter and, recently, he’s been tweeting about the anime Made in Abyss. Kojima reviewed the show in a tweet, “Watched Made In Abyss up to Episode 3 as I was recommended by my staff. Took a while to get use to the drawing but setting of the abyss (big hole) and the world were very interesting. Still it was ‘relic’ to me and not quite ‘trainee’ yet. I may dig a bit more in deep.” He then tweeted that he bought the whole manga series (likely in response to his staff member who said he should check out the source material.)

So what exactly is Made in Abyss? It was originally a manga written by Akihito Tsukushi and later adapted into a 13-episode TV series in 2017. Three films, Made in Abyss: Journey’s Dawn, Made in Abyss: Wandering Twilight, and Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul, were also produced. The last one was recently released in January 2020.

The protagonist of Made in Abyss is an orphaned girl, Riko, who lives in a town surrounded by a big giant hole called the Abyss. In the Abyss are remnants of a strange civilization and so-called cave raiders descend into the hole to bring back artifacts. Only there’s one caveat (other than possible death by monsters in the hole): the deeper you descend, the more you’ll be affected by a strange curse when you ascend to the surface again.

With Doom Eternal‘s launch steadily approaching on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One, developer id Software has released the full specs required to run the fast-paced shooter on PC via Steam.

Since Doom Eternal’s coming to PC toward the end of March, and because it’s an incredibly fast first-person shooter that requires constant awareness, you may be wondering what specifications are required to run the game. We’ve compiled the full list of specs necessary to get the minimum and recommended experience below.

It’s worth noting that the minimum specs will get you an experience that runs at 1080p and 60 frames per second on low-quality settings, while recommended runs at 1440p and 60 frames per second on high-quality settings. Further, the minimum GPUs are what was necessary to run 2016’s Doom on the recommended settings.

The team of Tom King, Mitch Gerads, and Doc Shaner have a new series from DC Comics’ Black Label and putting their own spin on the sci-fi character Adam Strange in Strange Adventures. The new series is available now at local comic shops and on digital markets.

Writer King, joined by artists Gerads and Shaner, all continue to elevate the level of storytelling within their books. Strange Adventures is more than a typical superhero or sci-fi comic book. “This is like your favorite FX show, your favorite HBO show,” King told GameSpot at C2E2. “This is a show that at the end you’re like, ‘Holy crap, I can’t believe that happened. That’s some dark-a** s***.’

“I like humor in comics. There’s laughs in it, but [Strange Adventures] is… It’s True Detective. It’s Mindhunter. These are guys seeking out the dark corners of the minds and myths and doing something dark and cool. You know that feeling when you first read Watchman, and you lifted up the book and almost the whole world looked a little different? It’s almost like someone were playing like a minor key symphony around you or something. Or like the first time you saw Aliens or Alien, that kind of feeling? That’s what I’m going for.”

Get ready folks, another streaming service is coming our way. Quibi is a platform seeking to stand out from the already crowded field of streaming services by focusing on short-form videos for the mobile device.

The app is set to launch with 50 original shows on April 5. Two of the shows, Punk’d and Singled Out, happen to be revived MTV series. Chance The Rapper will host Punk’d, and from the trailer, Megan Thee Stallion will be one of the celebrities pranked. Keke Palmer and Joel Kim Booster will host Singled Out and link singles to a “pool of diverse singles through social media.”

There’s quite a few celebrities who will have their own “bite-sized” shows, including Jennifer Lopez who is hosting a charity-esque series, Chrissy Teigen who is doing her own take on “Judge Judy,” and Idris Elba whose show was probably pitched as, “A hot man in hot cars.”

It’s a great weekend to try out some new games for free–some huge titles, like Rainbow Six Siege and Mortal Kombat 11, are both free to play for a few days. But for Steam users, there’s another game you can check out for free this weekend, and this one is yours to keep.

Normally listed at $15, The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day is free to claim on Steam now until Monday, March 9. The story-driven adventure game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where humans have disappeared and been replaced by robots. Last Quiet Day is the first episode in the series and follows an inventor robot, RT-217NP, who is curious about humans and finds himself in a small group of robots trying to help the remaining humans who survive. Solving puzzles and making moral choices play a huge role throughout.

While GameSpot hasn’t reviewed The Uncertain: Last Quiet Day, the game currently has a Mostly Positive rating on Steam with over 1,400 reviews. Episode 2 in the series, The Uncertain: Light at the End, releases in Q2 2020, so now’s a great time to grab the first game at no cost and see if you like the premise. The second episode will take place from a human girl’s point of view and explore why humanity has disappeared from Earth–which certainly sounds intriguing.

Every now and then, video games can warm the cockles of your heart. That’s the case with NBA 2K20 and a 15-year-old Make-A-Wish kid from Georgia named William Floyd. At just 18 months old, William went into heart failure and was diagnosed with a genetic disorder that causes muscle weakness and heart problems. His condition doesn’t allow him to play sports like other kids his age, so 2K Sports is letting William stay competitive in the virtual world by putting him in NBA 2K20.

William is the first non-NBA athlete to be authentically scanned into the game with his likeness and even some custom dance moves included. You can now download him on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. William’s in-game player model can be found within Quick Game mode as a free agent for you to add to a team of your choosing, as well as through MyCareer and MyLeague rosters.

“When we learned about William’s wish to visit 2K, the whole team was thrilled,” said Ronnie Singh, digital marketing director on NBA 2K (and better known as Ronnie 2K). “Learning about his journey was really humbling, and we wanted to find a way to make William’s wish come true in the biggest way possible. We couldn’t think of a better way to do that than bringing his passion to life in-game and giving millions of NBA 2K fans around the world the chance to enjoy William’s player model.”

We’re only a week away from Borderlands 3‘s Steam launch, and as developer Gearbox gets ready to welcome a new crop of PC players, the studio has released an FAQ that breaks down everything you can expect from the looter-shooter’s Steam release on March 13. We’ve compiled it all down below.

Borderlands 3 was originally an Epic Games Store exclusive when it launched in September 2019. Despite this exclusivity deal (that lasted almost six months), Gearbox’s looter-shooter was rather successful on Epic, with the number of peak concurrent players doubling the all-time top concurrent player record set by Borderlands 2. And across all platforms, Borderlands 3 became 2K Games’ fastest-selling title ever.

Gearbox is preparing to launch Borderlands 3’s second major campaign add-on Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock, which arrives on March 26. While announcing this piece of DLC, the studio also teased the looter-shooter’s third expansion that will feature outlaws and dinosaurs. Both expansions are part of Borderlands 3’s Season Pass, which retails for $50.

DC’s Justice League movie may have been a critical and box office failure, but its legacy continues to live on, not unlike Superman himself, forcibly resurrected time and time again. Whether it’s director Zack Snyder himself stoking the fires of the now-mythical “Snyder Cut,” or, in this case, Ben Affleck coming out to say just how bad a time it was for him, the ghost of Justice League will live on forever in our hearts whether we like it or not. And, needless to say, Affleck certainly falls on the “not” side of things, according to an interview he had with GQ to break down his most iconic roles.

Affleck explained that Justice League’s production seemed to be “one problem after another,” and that the process left him feeling fed up with playing Bruce Wayne. “They said, ‘Would you like to direct and star in a solo Batman movie?’ And I found that, at some point, I had lost my enthusiasm or passion for it. And I thought this should really be made by someone who for whom it’s their wildest dream come true. It was clear to me it was time to move on.”
