Abelina is a strange, platforming romp through a natural afterlife from a former League of Legends animator and the composer of Zach Cregger's Resident Evil

Resident Evil director Zach Cregger has responded to the success of his video game movie, and while he doesn't want to say “I told you so” to his haters, he's happy with the response, both critically and commercially. “I don’t know if I feel vindicated,” he told A Shot . “I’m gratified. I’m gratified that people responded to it.” The Resident Evil movie has earned $363 million globally , making it the highest-grossing Resident Evil movie of all time and the highest-rated. It's also the No. 9 highest-grossing video game movie ever . Prior to Resident Evil's release, Cregger said he was "naive" to think gamers would embrace his vision for the movie. People wanted to see a direct adaptation of one of the Resident Evil stories, featuring familiar plotlines and characters, but Cregger's movie didn't do any of that.

Across the sun-baked plains of the African savannah, elephants are bringing new meaning to life after death. At least, that’s according to the findings of a new study by an international team of researchers who examined the sites of elephant carcasses in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. These gentle grey giants — often referred to as “ecosystem engineers” — are known to shape the savannah when they’re alive, excavating waterholes, knocking down trees and consuming copious amounts of vegetation. That much, researchers knew already.

More information about the now-canceled Mass Effect: Universe keeps trickling out following this week’s closure of BioWare and the end of years of development of the next game in the studio’s sci-fi series. After an internal trailer featuring a new protagonist and original trilogy party member Liara T’Soni leaked, more information came out about how the game would handle choices from the previous games, as well as how the galaxy gradually built itself back up after the cataclysmic events of Mass Effect 3. Now, some folks who were working on the game at BioWare have started talking about the game, and while they’re not exactly going full spoiler mode for the canceled game, they are teasing a bit of what they were working on. One such developer is franchise technical director Romain Toutain, who held a stream on Twitch where he watched and commentated over the trailer and gave a few new details about what BioWare was cooking. Toutain speaks in French, but Bluesky user @loustica-lucia posted a clip of some of his commentary with English subtitles. So earlier, my brother was watching Octobinz (Romain Toutain)'s livestream on Twitch.
