Weapons: Makers release creepy 2-hour footage of children running away at night, leave horror fans surprised
The trailer of Weapons, the new horror film directed by Barbarian maker Zach Cregger, dropped earlier this week and caught attention of several fans. The producers of the film Warner Bros seemed to have taken an unlikely route in promoting the film, as it has now released an unlisted video of several children running away from their homes at night without any description.

The two-hour, unlisted video has a series of children running away from their homes late at night, which is seemed to look like a surveillance video where the viewer himself is watching from the point of view of the camera. The video raises questions- Who is watching the video? Who is looping in these moments together?
This video was shared with the title, '2025_░_░_06:17AM.mov.'
It must be noted that the video is in line with the premise of the film Weapons, which reads, 'When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance.'
Reacting to the video, an eagle eye fan commented, 'The large face that acts as a reflection on the screen must be a clue.' A second fan said, 'This is insanely interesting, so excited.' Another said, 'Great to see viral marketing coming back.' A comment read, 'The marketing for this movie is insane. I love it.' 'Soooo damn eerie. This looks interesting to say the least!' said another fan.
With more details about the plot being kept under wraps, horror fans and viewers will have to wait till August to find out the answers. Weapons also stars Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan.

When is MultiVersus shutting down?
Finally, the story of MultiVersus finally comes to an end. There has been a lot going on in the world of this multiplayer title. The genre was already hugely overcrowded, where the Warner Bros. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Games title's short stay proves how tough this category has become. Similar thing was thought about Marvel Rivals too, but it turned the tables over everyone's head, and still is the best multiplayer gamer in the market right now, even after over nine months of its release. However, another title of this genre, Concord, met with the same fate as MultiVersus. MultiVersus is officially shutting down today It's an end of MultiVersus. | Image via Warner Bros. Games. After a rough journey of one year, it's time to bid adieu MultiVersus. In January, it was already announced that Warner Bros. is going to shut this game down. There were rumors too about its potential revivals which raised some hope for its fans, but unfortunately those never came into reality. MultiVersus is officially shutting down today at 9 AM PT/ 12 PM ET. The game enjoyed its short stay in the gaming world which consisted of a total of five seasons. The last season also brought Lola Bunny from Looney Tunes and Aquaman from DC as playable characters in the game for a final push. But nothing could save the game at all. Actually, it's quite tough to stay in the market in the live-service segment if the game offers no unique aspect. And this is exactly what happened to MultiVersus. It's also a pretty tough time for Warner Bros. as far as their gaming wing is concerned. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was already major blow from the company as it never touched the sales expectations, forget exceeding it unlike other Rocksteady studios.

Players are advised to spend all the available in-game currencies (Glamium) in their inventories, because we are now a few hours from the game's demise. Although, those who have logged into the game after February 4 will still be able to enjoy the offline mode of the game. However, the core aspect of the game was its live-service model, and not being able to complete the $100 Founder's Pass is hugely disappointing for the fans. Read More:
