Fans of Marvel’s more obscure heroes will be pleased the team of Cloak and Dagger will finally get their own series, obviously titled Cloak and Dagger, which will air on Freeform in 2018. Well, technically the show was announced last year, but since I never heard of Freeform, the news completely passed me by. But I’m not alone here, right? Right?

Anyway, for those of you who never heard of Cloak and Dagger — after all, they are obscure, at least when compared to the likes of Luke Cage and Captain America — they are a super-powered team that consists of Tyrone “Ty” Johnson (Aubry Joseph) and Tandy Bowen (Olivia Holt). Johnson, aka. Cloak, has limited intangibility and can teleport through the “darkforce dimension.” Meanwhile, Bowen, aka. Dagger, can create daggers made out of psionic light that can either drain people of their strength or cure them of drug addictions. Oh, and because of his connection to the darkforce dimension, Cloak needs to occasionally feed on light, either from Dagger’s, um, daggers, or from light that emanates from anyone Cloak leaves in the darkforce dimension.
The show will not be a strict translation of the comic. Several aspects, such as Cloak and Dagger’s vastly different backgrounds, will remain intact, but the trailer has numerous story and plot changes. For example, the video demonstrates that Cloak and Dagger have a history together, as Johnson saved Bowen from drowning in a car when they were children. Furthermore, in the comics they first meet when Johnson retrieves Bowen’s stolen purse, right after he thinks about stealing it himself, but someone else nabs it first. Furthermore, Johnson stuttered in the comics.
The trailer left me wondering if the show will keep the comic’s most controversial aspect. In the trailer, Cloak and Dagger’s powers manifest when they hold hands after running away from something (or someone), but we do not know why. Is it due to stress caused by them fearing for their lives? The trailer obviously leaves the reveal for show, but in the comics, Cloak and Dagger got their powers after an evil scientist injects them with synthetic heroin. That would explain Dagger’s oddly specific ability to cure drug addiction, but it raises the question of whether or not the show will retain this specific origin. Today, shows usually present less controversial topics, which in this case would probably mean Cloak and Dagger will get their powers from the organization that gave Wade Wilson his healing powers in the 2016 Deadpool movie rather than from super-heroin.
While the trailer looks promising, we will have to wait until next year to see how well Cloak and Dagger fares on Freeform. With luck, it will be a compelling show that remains faithful to the source material, as many of the social issues in the comic are still prevalent today, especially heroin addiction.
Even though trophy support for older games on PS Plus Premium isn’t always great, you can always count on Sony’s first-party games to have it.If you like collecting these digital trinkets, you’re in luck, because today’s big PlayStation Plus update includes two classic games that can now be used to earn Trophies.
Each trophy list for Ape Academy 2 and Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror includes the platinum cherry on top. You can look at their respective listings here and here if you’re interested.
The list for Dark Mirror appears to be quite simple—you can basically earn them all by finishing the game. The trophies in Ape Academy 2 appear to be a little more complicated, requiring you to complete particular objectives in card battles and advance to specified rankings. Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem too difficult, so we’re looking at a couple of quite simple platinums.
Ridge Racer: Type 4 is this month’s other premium classic game; sadly, it does not offer trophies. But it makes up for it by being a complete banger.
However, will you be obtaining some of these trophies with a nostalgic flavor?
This year, Sony produced some truly outstanding work, releasing four high-profile games on the PS5 and PS4 (not to mention the numerous PC ports). The earliest of these, Horizon Forbidden West, arrived in February of 2022 and got the year off to a strong start. One of Aloy’s sophomore journey’s greatest strengths, among the many other things we like about it, is its excellent art direction. The Art of Horizon Forbidden West allows you to now delve deeply into the game’s visuals.
This coffee table book, which was published by Dark Horse Books, contains 200 pages of concept art and developer commentary. It provides an inside look at the process used to develop engaging characters and settings, and Forbidden West is certainly not lacking in either.
There will be two editions of the book: standard and deluxe. Both are hardback books, with the deluxe edition having pages with metallic edges and a unique slipcase. These are now up for pre-order and will go on sale on April 25, 2023.
Bloody hell, it took a while, but The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s long-awaited PS5 release date has been announced. The updated role-playing game will go on sale on December 14th, and CD Projekt Red reiterates that PS4 owners can get a free PS5 upgrade.
The “next-gen” game will have a physical edition at a later, as of yet unspecified time.
The next-gen update for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is coming on December 14th, free for everyone who already owns the game.
For more details and gameplay reveal, tune in to REDstreams next week on https://t.co/IpFERTohi9. pic.twitter.com/fg3yfGeNih

Though we still lack specific information about what the current-gen version will offer, don’t worry; it appears that all of our most pressing questions will be resolved soon. Next week, the developer says, will feature a livestream that will feature gameplay and more details. Hence, something to anticipate.
But in all honesty, we’re just relieved that this PS5 edition won’t be delayed any further. Will you play through The Witcher 3 again right before Christmas? Post your thoughts in the section below.
