You Can Now Pre-Order CONTRA: ROGUE CORPS Bundled with a Season Pass for DLC Goodness

Next month, a new Contra game is being released and there are now two different pre-order options available to fans. The Contra: Rogue Corps digital pre-order will include the game and two t-shirts for Hungry Beast in-game as well as an exclusive theme for PS4 players from Tom DuBois (pictured above). Meanwhile, the digital pre-order with season pass will give you full access to the DLC that is going to be released on a monthly basis for the first four months. The DLC is basically skins and in-game currency, so it shouldn’t affect the game too much.

Several years after the events of the Alien Wars, CONTRA: ROGUE CORPS follows a group of former military mercenaries living on the fringes as bounty hunters and treasure finders in the Damned City. Survival requires fast reactions, powerful weapons, and the occasional organ and cybernetic augmentation. As players complete missions in PVE campaigns, they will gather resources to upgrade their guns and even their characters to stay alive in the Damned City. CONTRA: ROGUE CORPS also delivers a robust multiplayer feature set, where friends can meet online or in couch co-op to mow-down enemies together.

Contra: Rogue Corps will launch for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One on September 24 with pre-orders available through your favorite outlet including the official site.

Uncharted will be a prequel to the game series, taking its basis from the sequence in Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception wherein the young thief first encounters his partner Victor Sullivan and in essence, sets up the events of the entire game franchise.

Despite previous drafts by the likes of Mark Boal (The Hurt LockerZero Dark Thirty), Oscar nominee David O. Russell, Doctor Strange‘s Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, Safe House‘s David Guggenheim, and Joe Carnahan, this new version of the film will bring on a new writer to rework the new-found premise.

Based on the action-adventure video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune from Naughty Dog and Sony Interactive, the story follows a descendant of explorer Sir Francis Drake, a treasure hunter named Nate Drake who believes he has learned the whereabouts of El Dorado, the fabled South American golden city, from a cursed golden statue. The search becomes competitive when a rival hunter joins the fray, then is escalated when creatures — actually mutated descendants of Spaniards and Nazis — begin attacking those hoping to learn the treasure’s true secrets.

Marvel has got several Disney+ shows in development and according to a recent report from Discussing Film, they are in talks with director Matt Shakman to direct one of them. Shankman has done a ton of directing work on some great TV shows such as Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Fargo, Six Feet Under, Revenge, Psych, It’s Always Sunny, Billions, and The Boys.

There’s no information on which series he will be taking on, but the report speculates that it could either be WandaVision of Loki because they are currently deep in pre-production and Marvel is ready to pull the trigger on one of them and shoot it into production. The other shows that Marvel is working on are Falcon and The Winter Solider and Hawkeye.

It’s said that the studio is looking to start shooting Loki in late January. The series will “focus on the version of Loki that escaped during the events of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, the story will show this version of Loki as he travels across time and becomes an unlikely influencer of historical events.” Tom Hiddleston will reprise the role and Michael Waldron will be the showrunner.

Wandavision is looking to begin filming in the coming weeks. The series will focus on “Scarlet Witch following the aftermath of ‘Avengers: Endgame’, sources say that the series will focus on her reality altering powers which may explain how Vision is featured in the series.” Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany will reprise their roles and they will be joined by Teyonah Parris who plays an older version of Monica Rambeau from Captain Marvel.

Joker, Spawn, Terminator and More Coming To MORTAL KOMBAT 11 in The Kombat Pack

Mortal Kombat 11 has finally revealed the full roster of DLC characters available in the Kombat Pack and there were a few big surprises in it. In the trailer that reveals the characters, we start with seeing Shang Tsung, Nightwolf, and then Sindel. These are three MK characters fan will recognize and love.

Then, we get to the surprises. First, it was revealed that Spawn was entering the game. That’s pretty awesome. However, then we see the Joker appear and I just about lost it. I’m not a big fan of this design for the Joker, but it’s still really cool.

Finally, Terminator T-800 showed up and I had no words. He looked amazing! Shang Tsung and Nightwolf are available now with T-800 coming October 8, Sindel on November 26, Joker on January 28, and Spawn on March 17. Mortal Kombat 11 is available on Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One now.
