Suda51 returns with a sword-swinging, gun-slinging, sci-fi action game

Engadget04-06-2025
Grasshopper Manufacture founder Suda51 made an appearance at Sony's State of Play showcase to reveal Romeo is a Dead Man — a game that has no relation to the 2000 action masterpiece Romeo Must Die , as far as we can tell. Romeo is a Dead Man stars Romeo Stargazer, a dude who was pulled back from the brink of death, gained time-shattering powers, and became a universe-hopping special agent for the FBI. Using a sword and guns, Romeo battles various sci-fi robots and beasts across multiple universes, featuring hyper-bloody gameplay.
By the time I finished watching the debut trailer for Romeo is a Dead Man , I'd completely forgotten that it started out with a hand-drawn cartoon family enjoying a nice curry dinner. It quickly devolves into a black-, white- and red-splattered fever dream of exploding heads and doorway demons, providing the first hint that this is definitely a Suda51 project. Grasshopper Manufacture's previous games include Killer7, No More Heroes , Lollipop Chainsaw and Killer is Dead , and its latest release seems to fit right in with these titles.

Romeo is a Dead Man is a third-person action game, and it's due to hit PlayStation 5 in 2026.

Disney+ cancels iconic TV series

Bad news for 90s kids: the television adaptation of the iconic children's horror book series 'Goosebumps' is coming to an end. The Disney+ series 'Goosebumps,' which premiered in October 2023, will not return for a third season, Variety reported earlier this month. According to the outlet, Sony Pictures Television plans to 'explore different creative directions' for the 'Goosebumps' IP as well as approach other outlets about picking up the series. Season 1 of 'Goosebumps' starred Zack Morris (Isaiah), Isa Briones (Margot), Miles McKenna (James), Ana Yi Puig (Isabella), Will Price (Lucas), Rachael Harris (Nora), and Justin Long (Mr. Nathan Bratt). A brand new cast of characters — including 'Friends' alum David Schwimmer (Anthony Brewer) and Ana Ortiz (Jen) — was introduced for season 2. The second season premiered in January. Several beloved 'Goosebumps' books were referenced in the TV show, including 'The Haunted Mask' and 'Night of the Living Dummy' during season 1 and 'One Day at Horrorland' and 'Stay Out of the Basement' during season 2. Unlike the original 'Goosebumps' television adaptation, which aired from 1995 to 1998, the 2023 version was not an anthology series. Which Disney+ shows have been canceled and renewed for 2025-2026? In addition to 'Goosebumps,' the 'Star Wars' series 'Andor' came to an end earlier this year after two seasons. Several other Disney+ shows have been renewed. 'Launchpad,' 'Limitless With Chris Hemsworth' 'Star Wars: Ashoka,' 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians,' 'Daredevil: Born Again,' 'The Proud Family: Louder and Producer,' 'Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures,' 'X-Men '97,' 'Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy,' 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,' and 'Shipwreck Hunters Australia' are all set to return for new seasons. Season 2 of 'Limitless With Chris Hemsworth' premieres on Disney+ on Friday, August 15. The docuseries follows the 'Thor' star as he pushes himself to do things outside of his comfort zone with the goal of living a healthier, richer life. His season 2 pursuits include drumming at an Ed Sheeran show despite having very little experience with the instrument. 'I've always worked very hard on my physical fitness, but I'm realizing that I need to put as much work into my brain as I do on my body,' Hemsworth says in the season 2 trailer.

Here's How Rei Ami Of "KPop Demon Hunters" Responded To A Viral Rumor That The Hit Song "Golden" Is Actually AI

Everybody's rightfully obsessed with Sony's KPop Demon Hunters on Netflix. The movie's already making history as the iconic single "Golden" from the movie has reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, but not without a bit of controversy. So, KPop Demon Hunters is voiced by a star-studded, all-Korean cast with a visual style and music that pays homage to popular Korean music, anime, and culture. It's dope because it's like one long, action-packed music video. In the animated film, three present-day demon hunters are tasked with saving the world from an evil demon king — Rumi (Arden Cho), Mira (May Hong), and Zoey (Ji-young Yoo). The best part is that they're not just demon hunters but also the super famous K-pop girl group Huntr/x. The singing voices of the animated characters are... ...K-pop singer-songwriter and record producer Ejae for Rumi... ...Korean-American R&B singer and rapper Audrey Nuna for Mira... ...and actor, singer-songwriter, and rapper Rei Ami for Zoey. The movie features several songs that have become instant hits with fans, but the song "Golden" which plays important part in the movie has crossed over into world as chart-topping hit making the virtual girl group HUNTR/X one of the first girl groups to hit #1 since Destiny's Child. It is the second track from an animated film to occupy the top of the Hot 100 this decade since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Disney's Encanto. Other tracks from animated characters have charted before, including Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song" or the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar," and "Nobody Like U" from Pixar's Turning Red boy band 4*TOWN. The difference between these past groups is that they didn't have to defend themselves against "artificial intelligence" accusations. A viral tweet with over 12 million views said, "Y'all realize this is one step toward AI completely taking over the music industry as well right?" The tweet triggered a debate over whether or not the performance of "Golden" was AI-generated, prompting a response from one of the real-life artists behind the song. On Aug. 12, Rei Ami shared an X post, writing, "EJAE, AUDREY NUNA AND I ARE NOT AI — ARE U BITCHES DUMB?!" Like her character Zoey with the shin-kal knives, she responded one more time against the accusations, sarcastically writing, "Yall I just found out I've been AI for 30 years omg help I'm just a code oopsie oh noooooooooo me so sad." Thanks to fans, Kpop Demon Hunters has become Netflix's second most-streamed movie ever and gave both Huntr/x and the fictional boyband Saja Boys chart-topping songs. And these same loyal KPop Demon Hunters fans are hilariously ten-toes behind Rei Ami's playful clapback, and they're not pulling any punches. No seriously. Why is Rei Ami so hilarious?
