Subnautica 2 has begun its "voyage to Early Access 2.0", developer Unknown Worlds has said, with the revelation of a new update containing the "scariest" region they've ever made for the underwater game. Delightful.

In a video released on the Subnautica YouTube channel, creative director Anthony Gallegos said the new update features multiple new biomes within the spooky region, and includes story additions, new Leviathan behaviors, and a Frog chassis for the tadpole submersible. In short, it's a pilotable mech.

Subnautica 2's next major update adds "the scariest region we've ever done", together with frog mechs and a very welcome tweak for dashing

Bracingly moist open world survival game Subnautica 2 is embarking on the "voyage to early access 2.0" - this being developer Unknown Worlds' excitable term for the next round of updates, which will include a new region, creature, and Tadpole chassis, plus some tweaks for biomods and creature behaviour. I like Subnautica 2 and am happy that Unknown Worlds appear to be enjoying some stability, after all the firings and ChatGPT-abetted lawyer-wrestling over publisher earn-outs, but I really hate "early access 2.0". I know other teams use nomenclature like this, but seriously, what even is time any more? You can't make a sequel to something you haven't finished! It's 8.30 in the morning, Unknown Worlds, and I already have a migraine. Let's hurry on to the talk of spooky new regions.

Dave the Diver is wrapping up its DLC plans with an aquatically appropriate Subnautica 2 collab

I am not a huge fan of collaboration DLCs, mostly because my curmudgeonly self can only see them as attempts at multiple companies trying to profit off of one another's things. But I do have to admit that yes, the just announced collab between Dave the Diver and Subnautica 2 does make total sense. Certainly more sense than the Godzilla one from a couple of years back. Details are a touch slim on the collab, but a reveal trailer does show off a few details. For one, the titular Dave is able to hop through a portal to Subnautica 2's ocean moon, complete with the alien sealife found in that game. That extends right through to Subnautica 2's cthulhian Leviathan, which doesn't seem best pleased to see Dave. To be fair, Dave probably wants to turn it into a nice filet, so I don't blame it honestly.

44 Years Later, Steven Spielberg's Scariest Movie of All Time Is Officially Back on Streaming

Sometimes, the people who make movies don’t always get the credit they deserve. Carrie Fisher served as an uncredited script doctor on the 1998 Adam Sandler movie The Wedding Singer, and Quentin Tarantino did an uncredited rewrite of the Saturday Night Live sketch-turned-movie It’s Pat. This is more common with writers than directors, but it can happen to directors, too. For example, Richard Donner, who helmed the 1979 masterpiece Superman, shot a good deal of the sequel Superman II, but was fired partway through the movie. Richard Lester, who replaced him, received full credit. And while all the details about it still aren’t really known, there’s a certain 1982 horror film that many speculate was directed by someone other than the guy in the credits. Poltergeist, which is currently available to stream on HBO Max, follows an ordinary suburban family who begin to experience strange things in their home. Furniture and toys move on their own, a glass of milk shatters out of nowhere, and the youngest child in the family, five-year-old Carol Anne (Heather O'Rourke), begins to communicate with beings through the television.

After 15-Year Absence, EA Is Bringing Back The Fight Night Franchise

EA Sports has announced that its Fight Night series of boxing games is coming back. Fans have been waiting a very long time, considering the last game in the series was 2011's Fight Night Champion for PS3 and Xbox 360. The franchise debuted in 2004 with Fight Night 2004, and sequels were released in 2005, 2006, and 2009 before Champion came out in 2011. "To everyone who stayed in our corner: Fight Night is coming back," EA Sports said. https://twitter.com/EASPORTSFN/status/2112604926941471213 Beyond the statement and the teaser art, there is nothing more to go on, so we don't yet know when the game might release or what new features it could have. While Fight Night has been dormant since 2011, EA's other combat-sports franchise--UFC--just had its newest release, UFC 6, in June this year. Prior to Fight Night, EA developed boxing games with the Knockout Kings franchise, which debuted in 1998 and ran through 2002. EA bringing back Fight Night is happening just after EA got acquired by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund .
