Disney Plus has unveiled the first full-length trailer for Prey, the Predator prequel that is set to “go back to what made the original movie work.” The promo, which you can watch above, wastes no time introducing Amber Midthunder as Naru, a warrior whose skills are put to the ultimate …

Bethesda is opening a new development studio in Madison, Wisconsin to work on “unannounced projects.” It’s called Roundhouse Studios, and while it’s technically a brand-new entity, it will largely be staffed by former Human Head Studios employees.

I never thought a building could be arrogant until I arrived in Talos-1. Wood-panelled walls stretch high above me, golden metal struts outlining each edge.
