Those looking to fill the gaping, Dark Souls-shaped hole in their lives have been keeping a close eye on Bandai Namco’s Code Vein. Dubbed “anime Dark Souls” by many, it draws heavy influence from From Software’s acclaimed Souls series, most notably in its difficulty.

GameSpot recently got some hands-on time with the English build of Code Vein, which is similar to the one shown at Tokyo Game Show but features a little extra time to explore and the opportunity to face a boss. Of course, we captured our experience for your viewing pleasure.

We weren’t given an indication of how far into the game the section we were exploring was, but with the suite of powers, gifts, and equipment, I get the feeling that it’s not the start of the game. The above gameplay has a few deaths and backtracking edited out, so enjoy 13 minutes of uninterrupted monster killing.

The fearsome Queen’s Knight boss, as you’ve no doubt gathered, can be quite tricky. However, I managed to bring her down–albeit on my eighth attempt. Since the Queen’s Knight is very aggressive, I opted to use my buffs and saved as many healing items as I could before stepping into the fray. Check out the fight below.

We’ll have more from Code Vein soon, so if you’ve enjoyed what you’ve seen so far then make sure you keep your eye on GameSpot for more coverage.

Code Vein is slated to release in early 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. We recently learned that it will not have an easier difficulty setting; instead, players will be able to freely change their character’s stats during the course of the game to adapt to new challenges.

Tickets for this year’s highly anticipated new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, go on sale very soon. Ticket company Fandango has announced that pre-sales for tickets will open tomorrow, October 9, after the new trailer airs during Monday Night Football. [Update: You might have a chance to snag tickets early, as CNET reports that the Showcase Cinemas app is selling them right now.]

Fandango is the “most anticipated movie of the year,” the ticket-seller said, citing one of its surveys. A survey of Fandango users showed that an astonishingly high percentage–95 percent–said they plan to see the movie in theatres. The film, which is directed by Loooper‘s Rian Johnson opens on December 15.

Fandango is of course just one ticket-seller, but the company appears to be the first to say when tickets go on sale. Buying through Fandango gets you a free Last Jedi poster.

“There’s nothing quite like a new Star Wars movie, with its nostalgic appeal, new characters and creatures, rousing action and inspiring storyline,” Fandango Managing Editor Erik Davis said in a statement. “This is why we go to the movies, and fans are already eager to snag their advance tickets on Fandango to see The Last Jedi two months from now.”

The new Last Jedi trailer will premiere tomorrow, October 9, during the Monday Night Football broadcast on ESPN. Johnson recently said that some people may want to “absolutely avoid it” if they are hoping to go into the film with fresh eyes.

Given that he appeared in the previous game and is one of the most iconic fictional characters ever, it should come as no surprise that Darth Vader will be featured in Star Wars Battlefront II. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until today that EA officially announced him and provided our first look at this latest iteration.

The video below shows off Vader in action, and he’s lot like you would expect–he slices opponents down with his lightsaber (Saber Throw) and lifts others up with the Force to damage them (Force Choke). He also has an ability called Focused Rage that essentially makes him tougher overall, allowing him to deal and receive more damage than usual.

That’s unfortunately all we have to go on at this point, but it provides a pretty good sense of the type of unit that Vader will function as in multiplayer. The beta offers a look at a number of other returning and new choices that players have at their disposal, such as Rey, Boba Fett, and and Han Solo.

Battlefront II’s beta has been extended; it had been expected to end earlier today, October 9. It will now run for an additional two days, though the full game’s release is still planned for November 17 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

Europe’s most recent Splatfest may have just wrapped up, but Splatoon 2 players in North America will soon have a chance to take part in their own competition. The region’s next Splatfest takes place this weekend, and for the first time since the Nintendo Switch shooter launched, it will have a different theme from Europe.

The Splatfest begins on Friday, October 13, at 9 PM PT/12 AM ET. Like previous events, it will run for a full 24 hours. Fittingly, the theme for the October Splatfest is inspired by Halloween; players must settle the debate over which classic monster is superior, vampires or werewolves.

The Splatfest that recently concluded in Europe wasn’t Halloween-themed, but it did ask an important question: do you hang your toilet roll over or under? Fortunately, sanity seems to have prevailed; Team Front Roll took home the contest, winning in a landslide in the popularity category and edging out Team Back Roll in solo victories to clinch the competition. Those who participated in the event will receive Super Sea Snails the next time they turn the game on.

As usual, one of the maps that will be featured during the Splatfest this weekend is Shifty Station, which will have a brand-new layout for this competition. Meanwhile, another new map, Snapper Canal, recently made its debut in Splatoon 2. Alongside the map, Nintendo released the latest free DLC weapon, the Bamboozler 14 Mk, which you can now purchase with in-game currency from the Ammo Knights shop.

The one and only KFC founder and fast food icon Colonel Sanders will be playable in WWE 2K18.

The news was announced during a stunt at WWE’s “Hell in a Cell” pay-per-view event, during which Kurt Angle dressed up as the Colonel and went up against WWE Superstar Heath Slater, who was dressed as the Colonel’s arch rival, Puppers Cluckers Chicken.
