‘Rocket League’ To Receive Battle Royale Mode
Rocket League is adding a limited-time battle royale mode, dubbed Knockout Bash, to its usual vehicular soccer gameplay. The new mode, which will be available to play for two weeks beginning on April 27, will see eight players face off against each other inside an ever-shrinking “Safezone” in an effort to be the last one standing. Players must defend themselves by ramming into opposing vehicles, blocking attacks and throwing opponents across the arena; they will only be eliminated once they have been knocked out three times, according to Engadget. Knockout Bash will include several hazards, including spikes and laser grids, that will immediately knock out players. Additionally, at the six-minute mark, the game will change into a “Sudden KO” mode, during which attacks will be more powerful ...
Godzilla and King Kong Are Coming to ‘Call of Duty: Warzone’
In the latest gaming crossover, Activision Blizzard has announced that Godzilla and King Kong will appear in Call of Duty: Warzone, with a new event dubbed Operation Monarch on May 11. Specifically, the crossover is with Godzilla vs. Kong, Adam Wingard’s 2021 sci-fi action movie that saw the two beasts go head-to-head. Though it’s unclear how Kong and Godzilla will be integrated into the game, Call of Duty notes in a blog post that the so-called Titans of the Monsterverse will “lay siege to Caldera later in the season” with Operation Monarch. The trailer sees the two fictional characters fight against each other, which appears to suggest that their gaming integration will reflect the storyline of the film, rather than a simple feature in free-for-all gameplay. “The MONSTER OF ALL...
John Carpenter Announces Firestarter Soundtrack, Shares “End Titles”: Stream
John Carpenter has revealed his soundtrack for the upcoming Stephen King adaptation Firestarter will release digitally on May 13th, the same day the movie arrives in theaters and streaming via Peacock. Along with the album announcement comes its first preview in the closer “Firestarter (End Titles).” Carpenter composed the score with his close collaborators, son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies. Though it stands as their first film accompaniment outside of Carpenter’s Halloween series — which has included the 2018 Halloween revival and 2021’s Halloween Kills — the trio has a long history of working together on projects like the ongoing Lost Themes albums. The musical motifs hinted at in the film’s first trailer suggested a more supernatural tone for the team that fits with the pyroc...
CNN+ Announces It’s Shutting Down Three Weeks After Launch
CNN+, the billion-dollar bet that CNN’s future depended on digital streaming, will be shutting down at the end of the month, The New York Times and CNN report. The news comes scarcely three weeks after CNN+ launched on March 29th. The streaming offshoot of the cable news titan was championed by former CEO Jeff Zucker, who had planned to spend $1 billion on CNN+ over four years. But Zucker departed in February after failing to disclose a relationship with CNN’s marketing chief, and the future of the platform fell further into doubt last month, when CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia finalized a merger with Discovery to become Warner Bros. Discovery. Its fate may have been sealed when Warner Bros. Discovery announced that HBO Max and Discovery+ would be combined into one streaming platfor...
Janelle Monáe Discusses Coming Out as Non-Binary to Their Family: “I Couldn’t Be Little Janelle”
Janelle Monáe stopped by Red Table Talk for the show’s Season 5 premiere and opened up about their journey of coming out as non-binary to their family. “I’m non-binary, so I just don’t see myself as a woman solely,” the singer told hosts Jada Pinkett Smith, Willow Smith, and Adrienne Banfield-Norris. “I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the ‘he’ or the ‘she.’ And if I am from God, I am everything… I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am, beyond the binary.” The eight-time Grammy nominee first drew attention to their identity back in 2020 when they used the hashtag #IAmNonbinary alongside a meme promoting gender fluidity on Twitter, but explained during the sitdown that they hadn’t yet started the process of getting vulnerable wi...
Fontaines D.C. Are at the Height of Their Powers With Skinty Fia
Only four years ago, Fontaines D.C. released their first set of singles — one of which being “Boys In The Better Land,” an anthemic romp about the idea that the grass is always greener on the other side. Now, the boys of Fontaines D.C. have moved to London to see for themselves. For their brilliant third album, Skinty Fia—which is undoubtedly their most complex and nuanced album yet—the Irish rockers are digging even deeper into their Irish identity, looking both outward and inward, and offering empathetic observations and plainspoken truths. The expansive sound that Fontaines D.C. employs on Skinty Fia (out Friday, April 22nd) is a logical advancement from 2020’s Grammy-nominated A Hero’s Death, but the storytelling throughout points to a band totally unafraid of the unknown. “There ...
