A NetherRealm developer has teased Mortal Kombat 12 in a now-deleted tweet.
Jonathan Andersen, senior production manager at NetherRealm, tweeted the image below before scrubbing it 10 minutes later. But of course the internet spotted it and saved it for analysis (thanks, reddit!).
Squint at the top right-hand corner of the image and you'll see the bottom of Anderson's monitor, which includes "MK12_Mast". That'll be Mortal Kombat 12, then.

Following the relaunch of Pokémon Gold and Silver for 3DS, Nintendo has now confirmed Crystal, too.
It'll arrive on 26th January 2018 in the same way - as a download from the 3DS eShop or in a cardboard box from a shop with a download code stashed inside.
As with Gold and Silver, Crystal for 3DS will be compatible with Pokémon Bank - the cloud-based service for transferring Pokémon between games.

Initially featuring in Pokémon X and Y, Sun and Moon have largely moved Mega Evolution - the practice of 'over-evolving' certain Pokémon into more powerful forms - to the side this time around, but that doesn't mean it's gone altogether.
Far from it, in fact, as many Mega Stones are available in-game once the main story is completed, whilst the remainder are avaialble via download code now that the distributions have all begun.

Another Apex Legends Wraith glitch has popped up, this time allowing players to draw their weapons and deal damage whilst the fan-favourite character is teleporting.
Ordinarily, Wraith cannot equip weapons in the void, let alone unleash upon suspecting opponents whilst essentially invisible, but players have discovered that they can take pop shots at enemies if they expertly pull off a nifty manoeuvre that uses both Wraith's Dimensional Rift ultimate skill and her Into the Void tactical.

Giddy action and astonishing art design combine in one of the great locations of modern video games. It spoils nothing, I hope, to reduce a game as luxurious and uncanny as Control to just four words. Here goes, then: Hell is an office. Remedy's latest takes place inside the Oldest House, the austere, echoing and inhumanly vast headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control. The FBC is an agency that deals with unusual horrors and is, as of your arrival, in the process of being overwhelmed by them.

Elden Ring has been out a month, but From Software's latest still "welcomes" hordes of newcomers every day. And while Eurogamer has a world class beginner's guide to Elden Ring in written form, sometimes a video is just what you need. The video above, expertly put together by Aoife from the Eurogamer YouTube team, runs through the most basic systems that aren't obvious in-game. Aoife covers everything from attributes to levelling, weapon scaling to equipment loads, magic use and even invincibility frames.

And there's me thinking Battlefield 1 was spinning the clock back with its take on World War One. A never-released spin on Call of Duty that took Activision's first-person military shooter to the Roman Empire has been unveiled, with a detailed video showing us what could have been in developer Vicarious Vision's spin-off. Dating back to around 2009, GameRadar's video shows a very different take on the series. Bolstered by the success of the first Modern Warfare and World at War, Activision was on the look out for alternative approaches to its lucrative series - and New York-based studio Vicarious Visions delivered with Roman Wars.

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again - that's what Infinity Ward is doing with Call of Duty: Warzone's notorious Bruen LMG, which has once again been slapped with a nerf just two weeks after the last one.
Earlier in August, Infinity Ward nerfed the Bruen MK9, which was considered the most powerful gun in the battle royale. This LMG had the accuracy at range, mobility and reload time of an assault rifle - with the right attachments - and had become central to Call of Duty's meta.
