Xbox Games Showcase 2025: Invincible Fighting Game Makes Its Gory Debut
Following the immense success of the Amazon Prime Video animated superhero show, Invincible, now in its third season and featuring talent such as J.K. Simmons, Steven Yeun, Gillian Jacobs, Aaron Paul, Simu Liu and more, many fans were thinking that a fighting game based on the property, à la Injustice, would be a match made in heaven.
Skybound Games and their in-house studio, Quarter Up, which specializes in fighters, are of the same opinion as, during the Xbox Games Showcase, they unveiled Invincible VS, an appropriately brutal, bloody and frenetic, considering the adapted material, 3v3 tag fighter. Surprisingly, Invincible VS the trailer does not actually show the game's tag system in play, instead opting to cut to a different fight altogether in order to convey that effect, but, fighting game fans can probably expect a twist on the feature that made titles such as Marvel vs. Capcom and Dragon Ball FighterZ so beloved within the fighting game community.
The comparison to these two fighting game tournament mainstays does not end here, either, as Quarter Up seems intent on delivering a game of 'tournament-quality', assuming one that would be featured during EVO, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world.
What's more, Quarter Up has also partnered with the team behind the animated show for a story mode for Invincible VS. No more details are yet known about this story mode, but as the trailer shows, fans can rest assured that Omni-Man, together with Thula and Black Samson, will likely be throwing fists with Invincible, who is joined up by Atom Eve and Red Rush, across a variety of locations such as a city (presumably New York or Chicago), snow-capped mountains and even the surface of the Moon as part of the game's narrative.
Invincible VS will release on Xbox Series X/S, Game Pass, PlayStation 5 and PC in 2026.

The Blood of Dawnwalker developers share a look at gameplay from the upcoming vampire fantasy RPG
One of the games that really caught my eye during the Xbox Games Showcase at the beginning of June was The Blood of Dawnwalker , a dark fantasy action-RPG from Rebel Wolves, the studio co-founded by Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz . First teased earlier this year , The Blood of Dawnwalker is a single-player open-world game set in a version of 14th-century Europe that's crawling with vampires. The first two trailers gave us a bit of a glimpse at what the gameplay will be like, but the developer has now shared an in-depth look in a 21-minute video. It looks pretty sick — but keep in mind that this footage is from the "pre-beta" game, so there's still a lot of polishing to be done. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. In The Blood of Dawnwalker , "You play as Coen, a young man turned into a Dawnwalker, forever treading the line between the world of day and the realm of night. Fight for your humanity or embrace the cursed powers to save your family." It's slated to hit PC, Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2026.

How to watch 'The Gilded Age' season 3 online from anywhere
If the first season was all about introducing the characters and the second season keen to set them on their way, "The Gilded Age" season 3 is where the real high drama gets going. There are changes in balance of power, shifting fortunes, new alliances and old resentments and that's why you can't wait for it to land, right?

And so, Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) has a serious diminution of power and status to consider at home while Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) somehow maintains the energy necessary to scale, and then ultimately control, the upper echelons of New York society. But is her family on the brink of collapse? Meanwhile, the younger generations are caught up in the business of romance (does Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) actually know what's she's doing or what's going on?) and making the world a better place - although writer Peggy Scott (Denée Benton) clearly has her work cut out.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Says Negan Should Not Have Killed Glenn On ‘The Walking Dead'
Negan The Walking Dead decided to change a large number of things from the comics but ultimately kept its most harrowing kill in place, Negan executing Glenn with a bat in the most brutal way possible. That moment has haunted the series for years, as the show's ratings dropped, losing a full two million viewers by the next episode, and the series never recovered. If you ask most Walking Dead viewers when they stopped watching, probably 70% of them will say Glenn's death, which seemed like it went too far even though yes, it was very much faithful to the comic. Other controversial deaths like Carl Grimes, were not. Now, in a First We Feast interview between Maggie's Lauren Cohan and Negan's Jeffrey Dean Morgan to promote their show Dead City, Morgan says outright that if there was one plotline he would change, it's that kill. Morgan: I'm just gonna say this, it would have made both our lives easier, maybe not kill Glenn. Cohan: Yeah Morgan: It would have shifted the stories in a lot of ways, but you wouldn't be mad at me. Cohan: Wait, maybe we'd be like buddies! Morgan: Yeah, we'd probably be buddies! I mean, Glenn probably would have died some other way, but I wouldn't have had anything to do with it. So I'll say that just to be safe. Glenn It seems like a huge mistake in hindsight to both kill Glenn from a story perspective and also to lose actor Steven Yeun, who went on to be both a Best Actor Oscar nominee, the first Asian-American nominated, and went on to win an Emmy for his role in Beef. Now, he stars in one of Amazon's biggest shows, Invincible. Yeun did not seem pleased with his death and never returned to the show for any sort of guest dream/flashback spot the way nearly all other characters did. The Walking Dead made many mistakes over the years, but that was arguably the biggest, comic faithful or not. Now, I've speculated that the entire series is winding down, reduced to just two shows, Maggie and Negan's Dead City and Daryl Dixon's Daryl Dixon. Daryl's show is at least somewhat higher-profile and constantly renewed, where I am less confident in the future of Dead City after season 2 here. AMC does not want to let go, but maybe it's time to move on. The glory days are long behind the series, and yes, it really did peak with the pre-Negan Glenn kill. After that, the fall began. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
