The seventh season of The Walking Dead starts next month, and all eyes are on Negan. The bat-wielding bad guy is much anticipated by fans, and the new season’s marketing is very much centred around him. A promo video was released yesterday, and now we have some striking new posters. Check them out below, via Collider:

Negan is played Watchmen star Jeffrey Dean Morgan. He ended season six by claiming the life of one of the show’s main characters, the identity of whom will be revealed when the new season kicks off.

In a recent interview with EW, Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl in the show, spoke about how the death will affect the different characters. “The group is completely broken apart at this point,” he said. “Negan has come in and completely shaken up everything. Loyalties are broken, belief in one another, belief in ourselves. Each individual is completely broken, and they don’t all handle it the exact same way.

“Some accept it. Some fight it. There are people questioning it. There are people pointing their fingers. There are people blaming themselves. Other things happen that completely destroy people.”

The Walking Dead season 7 premieres on AMC on October 23.

Final Fantasy and Tomb Raider publisher Square Enix will announce a new “action” game at the Tokyo Game Show next week, the Japanese company confirmed today.

An announcement of an announcement is all we’re getting for now, as the teaser page, which was translated by DualShockers, does not contain any further details about the project.

The game, whatever it turns out to be, will be revealed during Square Enix’s main stage presentation at TGS 2016; this is slated fr September 15 at 13:00 JST, which comes out to September 14 at 9 PM PT.

One of Square Enix’s newest high-profile releases was August’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. In other news about Square Enix games, the company has announced when the next Hitman episode will come out, where it’s set, and what you’ll do in it.

Looking ahead, Square Enix will release the Rise of the Tomb Raider 20 Year Celebration edition in October. After that, the long-awaited Final Fantasy XV comes out in November.

What are you hoping the new Square Enix action game turns out to be? Let us know in the comments below.

It’s becoming increasingly common for big Hollywood movies to be released internationally ahead of the US. The upcoming Marvel film Doctor Strange was already set to open in the UK a week before its domestic debut, and now British fans can see it even sooner.

As reported by Den of Geek, the UK release of the movie has shifted from Friday, October 28 to Tuesday, October 25. This means it will open a full 10 days ahead of the US, where it debuts on November 4.

Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as mystical sorcerer Stephen Strange, and also features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton, Mads Mikkelsen, and Rachel McAdams. It is directed by Sinister‘s Scott Derrickson.

Last week a new promo for the movie was released by Marvel, featuring cast interviews and new footage from the film. Check it out below:

In a recent interview with Gamesradar, Derrickson explained that the film wouldn’t provide a scientific explanation for Strange’s incredible powers. “It’s not something that’s easy to define,” he said. “As magic should be. Magic should be mysterious.

“There’s mystery to magic and there’s mystery to the tone of the movie. Mystery is a good thing”.

Fallout 4‘s mod program was supposed to launch on PlayStation 4 in June, but that never happened for reasons that publisher Bethesda has never fully explained. In a new interview with Metro, marketing executive Pete Hines was asked to elaborate, but he declined.

Instead, he said, “All I can say is that [the Fallout 4 PS4 mod program is] undergoing an evaluation process and as soon as it’s done, and we have more info, we’re gonna let everyone know.”

The interviewer jumped in to suggest that Hines’ comment implies that it’s Sony that is holding things up. Hines didn’t give anything away here, but stressed that Bethesda remains committed to delivering the mod program on PS4, even if it takes some time.

“It’s definitely not that we’ve decided not to do it, we absolutely, positively want to get PS4 mods out as fast as humanly possible,” he explained.

Fallout 4 mods made their console debut on Xbox One in May. Mods are created on PC and then published to Bethesda.net, where Xbox One players can download them. The same setup is likely to be in place for the eventual PS4 release.

At the end of June, Bethesda announced that it had delayed the Fallout 4 PS4 mods program after the publisher acknowledged some serious-sounding issues.

Also in the Metro interview, Hines was asked if Bethesda will have an E3 showcase in 2017. He said the company “probably” will due to a number of projects it has in the works that would fill the time.

“Knowing what I know, I think we would probably do another one next year,” he teased.

It’s too soon to know what Bethesda might have in the pipeline that it could talk about during E3 2017, but the company recently said it will make The Elder Scrolls VI eventually. Additionally, director Todd Howard has teased some “big” and “crazy” projects that are currently in the works.
