All box office figures are pulled from Amazon's BoxOfficeMojo. 1: The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)Following 1993's poorly received live-action Super Mario Bros. Movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, many wondered if Nintendo would ever again attempt to make a Mario movie. Well, 30 years later, the company partnered with Minions studio Illumination to do just that--and the movie is off to a fantastic start. Released on April 5, 2023 the movie quickly earned $377 million worldwide over its first five days and rapidly cleared more than $500 million. It's now earned more than $1.3 billion.

Among other new additions, Keanu Reeves joined the film in the role of Shadow the Hedgehog.Domestic – $230,549,154International – $232,000,000Worldwide – $462,549,154 5: Pokemon Detective Pikachu (2019)Warner Bros. 2019 video game movie Pokemon: Detective Pikachu was a hit with critics and fans alike, and it did big business at the box office to rank as the second-highest grossing video game movie of all time worldwide. It featured the voice of Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu and a heartwarming and rollercoaster story involving Pikachu teaming up with a young man, Justice Smith, to find his father.

Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones, the son of David Bowie, eventually signed on to direct the fantasy film. It bombed in the US but did massive numbers internationally to pull in $439 million worldwide, putting it at the top of the charts. Jones said he had plans for a trilogy, but the poor box office performance in the US means that will likely never happen.Domestic – $47,365,290International – $391,683,624Worldwide – $439,048,914 7: Rampage (2018) Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson starred in 2018's Rampage, an adaptation of the classic video game in which The Rock plays a primatologist who works with a supersized gorilla to fight other massive monsters.

It had a huge $44 million opening weekend in the US, and has to date earned more than $400 million globally. That's good enough for Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman to call Uncharted Sony's next big franchise, suggesting a sequel may be on the way. Director Ruben Fleischer has said he's game for a sequel and has even outlined some of his ideas for a follow-up, including putting Uncharted 4's epic car chase set piece into a potential Uncharted 2.Domestic – $148,648,820International – $258,492,438Worldwide – $407,141,258 9: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)Sonic the Hedgehog 2 released in April 2022 and has become a quick success.

According to Glass Cannon Network co-founder Troy Lavallee, a big part of that success comes down to one decision: avoiding Dungeons & Dragons."[GCN] started out as 'Let's just play [Pathfinder,] the game that we know and the game that we love, because if we're infectious about how much we enjoy this game, listeners--whether they even play the game or not, [will listen]," Lavallee told me over a video call."We're always shocked by how many people listen who have no interest in ever playing," he continued. "If we can share our infectious joy of playing, people will feed off of that, and that's what they listen for. And then it wasn't until the pandemic [in 2020] that we were like, 'I wonder if we could finally start playing other games,' because we saw that everyone else in the space was pretty much just playing D&D. There were a couple of offshoot things here or there, but it was [mostly] D&D, and then we were playing Pathfinder. I said, 'Let's start playing everything else.'"Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Ex-Overwatch Director Says Tracer's Butt Was Never "Nerfed" Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 17:45:00 -0700 Link: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ex-overwatch-director-says-tracers-butt-was-never-nerfed/1100-6539353/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f When the original Overwatch debuted almost a decade ago, the game encounter some pushback over Tracer's victory pose, which some claimed over-sexualized her and placed too much emphasis on her butt. Blizzard subsequently apologized and reworked Tracer's pose. Now, former Overwatch director Jeff Kaplan has weighed in on the issue and declared that Tracer's butt was never nerfed.Kaplan was asked about the issue while streaming his new game, The Legend of California, via IGN. In response, Kaplan said "we actually didn't nerf Tracer's butt. It stayed exactly the same."Blizzard recently ran into a similar issue and promised to rework the design of Anran, a new female hero whose face was met by a negative reaction from players because she looked too similar to other characters. Earlier this this month, Blizzard unveiled a new facial design for Anran, which emphasizes her maturity over youth and increased her resemblance to her brother, Wuyang.Continue Reading at GameSpot

Title: Slay the Spire 2 is best as a co-op game Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 12:00:19 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/slay-the-spire-2-multiplayer-best-new-feature/ Mega Crit’s Slay the Spireis incredibly compelling, hooking players since 2019 with the tantalizing promise of unlocking new cards, relics, and achievements if they play just one more run. Those same qualities are key to Slay the Spire 2, which retains all of the roguelike deckbuilder’s core elements and enhances them with new classes, monsters, and events. But a month after its early access release, what’s keeping me coming back is the sequel’s biggest change: the ability to play with friends.

Title: The Fire Force anime was a surrealist shonen masterpiece and not enough people watched it Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 11:31:17 GMT Link: https://www.polygon.com/fire-force-anime-review-ending-surrealist-masterpiece/ Genre labels like shonen use a manga or anime’s target demographic to pin down and describe works in that vast field. However, such labels are often ineffective. A lack of clearly defined boundaries is, in fact, one of the main creative impulses that led to the medium’s steady expansion over the past decades. One Piece and Haikyu!!, for example, were serialized in the same magazine and are both described as shonen, but they look as different as night and day. Even within the same subgenres, such as sports or battle manga, you'll find wildly different spins on common tropes.

Title: GeForce NOW Raises the Game at the Game Developers Conference Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:00:53 +0000 Link: https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/geforce-now-thursday-gdc-2026/ GeForce NOW is bringing the game to the Game Developers Conference (GDC), running this week in San Francisco. While developers build the future of gaming, GeForce NOW is delivering it to gamers. The latest updates bring smoother performance, easier game discovery and a fresh lineup of blockbuster titles to the cloud. Game discoverability gets a boost with new in‑app labels for connected accounts for Xbox Game Pass and Ubisoft+. It’ll be easier than ever to see titles already available through linked subscriptions, so members can seamlessly jump into games they already own. Virtual reality gets a smooth upgrade — supported devices now stream at 90 frames per second (fps), up from 60 fps, delivering more responsive and immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences. Account linking is also leveling up. Following Gaijin single sign-on announced at CES in January, GOG account linking and game library syncing are coming soon. The GeForce NOW library continues to grow with new releases joining the cloud at launch: CONTROL Resonant and Samson: A Tyndalston Story. Plus, select Xbox titles will join the Install-to-Play library. In addition, there’s a lineup of five new games to catch this week, including Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, on top of the latest update for Fortnite. Gaming Is Buzzing GeForce NOW is rolling into GDC with an easier way to keep track of titles, as well as performance upgrades and a growing lineup of major titles ready to stream at launch. Keeping track of which game lives on which service can be tricky. In‑App labels — coming soon to GeForce NOW for connected subscriptions — will help make it simple for members to know exactly what games they can play on GeForce NOW. Once a member connects their Xbox Game Pass Account or Ubisoft+ account, clear labels will appear directly on the game art inside the GeForce NOW app — eliminating guesswork and making it easy to see exactly what’s available to play from their game subscription services. Set it and forget it. Account linking is expanding too. On top of Gaijin single sign-on, GeForce NOW is adding GOG account linking and game library syncing in the coming months.               Smooth moves. Virtual reality is also getting an upgrade. Starting Thursday, March 19, VR devices that GeForce NOW supports, including Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest and Pico devices, will stream at 90 fps for Ultimate members, an increase from 60 fps. The higher frame rate enhances smoothness, responsiveness and realism across every session — whether gamers are chasing enemies through neon-lit streets or exploring far‑flung alien worlds. GeForce NOW’s Install‑to‑Play library is also expanding with select Xbox titles, including Brutal Legend from Double Fine Productions and Contrast from Compulsion Games. These additions bring more flexibility for members to download and install their owned games alongside streaming favorites. That’s just the start. Highly anticipated games are headed to the cloud at launch: Bending reality. CONTROL Resonant — Remedy’s upcoming action‑adventure role-playing game (RPG) that blends supernatural powers with a warped Manhattan facing a reality-bending cosmic threat. Unravel a family story steeped in myths. Samson: A Tyndalston Story — the game from Liquid Swords is a gritty action brawler, set in the city of Tyndalston, launching on PC. Free to Save the World Chaos in the cloud. Fortnite’s original adventure is back in the spotlight — and soon, it’ll free to play. Fortnite first launched in 2017 as a story-driven co‑op experience, and on Thursday, April 16, the “Save the World” update will officially be free to play for all players. Pre-registration begins on Thursday, March 12. Join forces against hordes of husks, solo or with the squad, in a player vs. environment action-packed story, complete with gathering, crafting and collecting.

On GeForce NOW, Fortnite “Save the World” streams straight from the cloud — no waiting around for updates or patches. Low‑latency streaming keeps building, shooting and trap placement feeling snappy across supported devices. Stay in the action with GeForce NOW. Gear Up for Glory The cloud makes it easy to suit up in style. From chaotic infantry clashes to roaring jet dogfights, every match is an unpredictable explosion of strategy and mayhem in EA’s Battlefield 6.  This week, GeForce NOW Ultimate members can drop into the action with serious style — a new reward, the Advancing Gloom Soldier Skin, gives soldiers a sleek, battle-hardened look fit for the frontlines.

Title: Supernatural handyman simulator The Lift launches on PS5 in 2027 Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:13:38 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/09/supernatural-handyman-simulator-the-lift-launches-on-ps5-in-2027/ In our upcoming genre-bending simulator, The Lift, players step into the shoes of a handyman and attempt to renovate an abandoned research facility riddled with the supernatural. We at Fantastic Signals have been working on this game for four years, and we’re excited to finally bring it to the PlayStation community. I’m Ivan Slovtsov, studio director at Fantastic Signals, and I’m excited to tell you more about The Lift, where we’re blending an intriguing sci-fi story with addictive handyman sim gameplay. In addition to our brand new trailer, I’ll share some insights into what makes our supernatural handyman simulator tick and what you’ll experience when it launches on PS5 in 2027. Play Video In The Lift, you play as a Keeper: a resourceful handyman tasked with restoring the Institute, a massive research facility that was abandoned after a mysterious catastrophic incident. In the process, you will uncover a mind-boggling conspiracy that left the Institute in ruins, and bring the facility back to its former glory with your trusty toolbox. With The Lift, we want to combine the satisfying gameplay of first-person “repairman” games (think House Flipper or PowerWash Simulator) with the deep storytelling and interconnected systems of immersive sims like Prey. Our team has previously worked on titles such as Pathologic 2 and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, and we’re bringing this narrative and worldbuilding prowess to create a truly memorable story-driven adventure. The Lift draws heavy influence from the works of the Strugatsky brothers, who were prolific Soviet science fiction authors. Their iconic novel, Roadside Picnic, inspired the “New Weird” literary movement and many fantastic games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Pacific Drive, Death Stranding, Disco Elysium, and Control. While we absolutely adore Roadside Picnic, The Lift instead turns to another book by the Strugatskys – Monday Starts on Saturday, a witty satire of the bureaucratic autocracy that explores the resourcefulness and grit of the human mind. In The Lift, we’re telling a story of brilliant people who achieve the impossible together, set in a retrofuturistic world where the most unimaginable, fantastical things have become the norm—studied and ‘solved’ by the scientific community. Your goal is to get the Institute back online by restoring its five major areas: the Post Office, the Communication Center, the Archive, the Library, and the Reactor. The titular lift is your elevator-turned-HQ used to travel across the facility, craft items, and unlock new gear to enter previously inaccessible areas. You can also customize it with countless decoration items found in the Institute to make it your own cozy base of operations. As you revive the Institute, you will face a myriad of restoration tasks that only a master engineer can tackle. From fixing furniture, vacuuming cosmic goo, and rewiring electromechanical grids to awakening a sentient reactor, triangulating an interdimensional signal with a satellite dish, and operating a massive computing mainframe. There’s a lot of work to do! As you progress, you’ll unlock new tools and meet a cast of quirky characters who will help unveil the mystery behind the Institute’s demise. We can’t wait for the PlayStation community to experience The Lift. Our passionate team has been pouring everything into this world, and we hope players will enjoy utilizing the unique and strange tools available to them as they unravel the many curiosities. At launch, The Lift will support a variety of features across PlayStation 5 consoles, including DualSense controller haptics, adaptive triggers, and enhanced graphics on PS5 Pro, when it releases on PlayStation 5 in 2027. Stay tuned, as there’s a lot more of the Institute left to uncover.

Title: Warhammer Survivors is coming to PS5 this year with new content Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:12:37 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/09/warhammer-survivors-is-coming-to-ps5-this-year-with-new-content/ Hello Survivors, we’re excited to share that Warhammer Survivors is coming to PlayStation 5! For those of you who haven’t been tuning into your hololithic projectors, Warhammer Survivors is a fast-paced roguelite survivors’ game. Choosing from a roster of iconic Warhammer characters, you’ll lead champions against endless tides of enemies from the Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes.   Today, in addition to announcing that the game will launch on PlayStation 5 later this year, we’re also revealing new playable characters, an arsenal of devastating weapons and a mighty menace in the form of the brutal and belligerent Orks.  Play Video The universes of Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar are rich with iconic characters, legends and lore, and it is no easy feat when it comes to choosing which champions we add to the game. We think Warhammer fans are really going to like who we’ve revealed today: we’ve introduced several war veterans (in the form of Commissar Yarrick and The Legend of Catachan), the indomitable Chapter Master of the Ultramarines (Marneus Calgar) and even a Leman Russ tank.  Yep, that’s right. When Warhammer Survivors launches later this year, you’ll be able to command a Leman Russ Tank as Knight-Commander Pask. He is the largest Warhammer Survivors character we’ve revealed so far, and given the size of his indomitable battle tank, smaller enemies will easily be churned up under his tank treads. It’s a lot of fun to mow down fodder enemies while a voidship vaporises distant groups of enemies from above.  Speaking of heavy-duty weaponry, let me tell you about some of my favourites from those we’ve announced today. The Warhammer 40,000 universe is beset by a whole manner of xenos threats, so it’s only appropriate that these champions come equipped with a devastating array of new weapons.  The legendary Gauntlets of Ultramar call Marneus Calgar to your side. Not only does this evolved weapon crush enemies in an arc, but it also unleashes a torrent of bolter rounds that explode near and distant enemies. It really puts the bullet in bullet heaven.  My favourite is the D6 Dice. This is a cross-universe weapon, usable in both Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer Age of Sigmar universes. The D6 Dice weapon rains several red dice (the number of which can be increased with passive abilities) from the screen, bouncing onto enemies and exploding – inflicting damage dependent on the number on the dice face that was rolled. There’s nothing greater than seeing a bucket of dice rain from the screen. As a long-time tabletop fan (I play Orks), I love this weapon.  The Orks are the second enemy faction we’ve revealed for the Warhammer 40,000 universe. This mob of boisterous bullies hurls a variety of enemy types at the player, from exploding Bomb Squigs to a giant conjured foot, which does not discriminate when it comes to crushing the player character or enemies alike. How many different Orks have you seen in our trailer?  Leading the charge is the biggest and meanest Ork of all – Ghazghkull Thraka. The prophet of the Waaagh! is no average Ork and to bring him down requires more than might.   You might be thinking: you’ve levelled up, upgraded your weapons, mercilessly slain hordes of enemies – you’ve won? Nope. At the end of every stage, you’ll be beset with an Extremis Boss (powerful enemy faction leaders), each with their own deadly attack patterns and mechanics. Ghazghkull, for example, slashes his Power Klaw in a telegraphed attack, shoots a hailstorm of dakka and calls tides of Orks to fight beside him in a great and raucous Waaagh.    I don’t want to spoil too much… but to defeat them, you’ll need more than a combination of upgraded and evolved weapons; there are plenty of secrets to be uncovered in Warhammer Survivors.  We’ve revealed new characters, weapons, and enemies. What’s next? Well, let’s just say we have a LOT more to show. Make sure you wishlist and follow our social channels to stay tuned for all the updates and reveals.  Warhammer Survivors launches on PlayStation 5 this year, so wishlist now – you don’t have long to wait. See you next time.

Title: Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve devs detail first-person aerial combat and world of Strangereal Date: Thu, 09 Apr 2026 14:01:51 +0000 Link: https://blog.playstation.com/2026/04/09/ace-combat-8-wings-of-theve-devs-detail-first-person-aerial-combat-and-world-of-strangereal/ The latest report from Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve has arrived, and we’re giving you a first look at the team and technology that will put you in the cockpit of the most cutting-edge flight shooting game of this generation. In this developer diary video from Project Aces, we’ll take a look at how Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is the culmination of 30 years of experience and expertise.  Play Video One of the first things Ace Combat 8 explores is your role as a pilot in the world of Strangereal. As the new leader of a squad based on the carrier Endurance, you need to win your team’s trust which Kazutoki Kono, the series brand director, explains. Your character is at the heart of a deeply emotional story, where you move between daily life on the aircraft carrier and high-stakes missions among the clouds as the Federation of Central Usea struggles to survive with limited resources in a bitter war. To truly immerse each player, Project Aces engineered an innovation for the Ace Combat series, first-person perspective during story scenes. New levels of immersion are possible not only due to this new perspective, but also the huge leap forward in photorealistic rendering of your crafts, the environment, and, most importantly, that big, beautiful sky that’s just begging for a battle. Developer and Producer Kosuke Itomi, Masato Kanno, and Keiichi Yamaguchi describe how the art team applied decades of experience and craftsmanship to the task of bringing each fan-favorite aircraft to life.  We’re also excited to share more about the exclusive internal “Cloudly” engine, the “Lumen” lightning system which is used to render glorious, light-sensitive clouds and weather, and how this system changes the game for anyone soaring into that wild blue yonder.  And of course, beauty isn’t everything. Producer Manabu Shimomoto explains how the team has been working on making Ace Combat 8’s dogfights an unforgettable pulse-pounding ride. You’ll hear about their philosophy of making this a flight shooting game that anyone can enjoy, from the first-time pilot to the battle-hardened ace, and Development Director Akira Yasui will talk about how the new tutorial system helps accomplish that goal as well. This dev diary shares the feelings of a team with 30 years of development experience. Every ounce of that passion and commitment has been poured into environments that will immerse you, a story that will inspire you, and gameplay that will thrill you. Please join us as we prepare to take off for an unforgettable flight. Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is coming to PlayStation 5 this year. Wishlist today.

Title: The Sunday Papers Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-sunday-papers-805 Sundays are for remembering the glorious sunshine you enjoyed but half a week ago, while looking out at eleven degrees Celsius' worth of grey skies and drizzle. Did you know some people actually like rain? Imagine. The weather taste equivalent of forgoing a beautifully soft, Emperor-size memory foam mattress to sleep on a beach towel with some used needles poking out of it because "It’s more refreshing." The ruin of humanity. What was I.. yes, the Sunday Papers. Good words to read. There are some, of those. Read more

Title: Roblox is introducing a subscription service that encourages more shady practices, is it? Sounds about right Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 21:54:53 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/roblox-is-introducing-a-subscription-service-that-encourages-more-shady-practices-is-it-sounds-about-right I truly wonder when enough will be enough for Roblox Corporation. We all know how much money Roblox is raking in, and yet yesterday it was announced that a shiny new subscription service called Roblox Plus is on the way. This new subscription is effectively replacing Roblox Premium, which for varying monthly fees you'd get varying amounts of the in-game currency Robux. Except Roblox Plus sounds like a worse deal.

Title: The Pines asks what would Alan Wake look like if it was about therapy, and I kind of want to know the answer Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 20:41:22 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/the-pines-asks-what-would-alan-wake-look-like-if-it-was-about-therapy-and-i-kind-of-want-to-know-the-answer Therapy is not the cure all that many like to make it out to be, but that doesn't mean your favourite gruff fictional detective couldn't still do it. This is, sort of, what The Pines is about, a game that if you squint real hard could probably pass for Alan Wake. The vibes are certainly similar, especially with Alan Wake 2, given that The Pines sees its protagonist finding himself in a strange, wooded (sort of) town, but it's got enough of its own thing going on to pique my interest.

Title: GTA 6 dev Rockstar have seemingly been hacked again, but they don't seem all that worried Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:57:43 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/gta-6-dev-rockstar-have-seemingly-been-hacked-again-but-they-dont-seem-all-that-worried It appears that GTA 6 developer Rockstar have been subjected to yet another hack. Earlier today, The Cybersec Guru shared a report that a hacker group by the name of ShinyHunters had added Rockstar Games to its dark web leak site. The hack apparently wasn't directly targeted at Rockstar or their Snowflake data warehouse, but at Anodot, a SaaS cloud-cost monitoring tool Rockstar uses. Read more

Title: Following mass layoffs, Epic are reportedly putting their hopes on a Disney extraction shooter Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:15:02 +0000 Link: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/following-mass-layoffs-epic-are-reportedly-putting-their-hopes-on-a-disney-extraction-shooter I do not like the combination of the words "Epic Games," "Disney," and "extraction shooter," yet write them I must. That's because of a new report from Bloomberg (paywalled), which digs into some of the issues the Fortnite developer has been facing in recent years with the popular battle royale, and the hopes the company is pinning on its Disney deal.
