Hellblade 2 PS5 Release Date Window Possibly Leaked
Recently, a couple of known games industry insiders claimed Senua's Saga: was coming to soon. While they clarified they were unsure if the PlayStation version of the Xbox exclusive would be announced during the recent State of Play, some may have had hopes for its reveal at the presentation. While it is still unknown whether Ninja Theory's latest is coming to Sony's current-gen platform, another insider has stoked the rumor mill once more, potentially hinting at a release window for the rumored game.
In a recent BlueSky post from The Verge's Tom Warren, they claim April will be 'a good month for PS5 gamers.' Nothing specific is really said beyond that, but some recent rumors may suggest Hellblade 2 could be set for that month.
As reported earlier this week, known insiders Jez Corden and NateTheHate have both suggested a PS5 version of Hellblade 2 is a lock. Specifically, Corden says it's on its way 'pretty soon', according to his sources. NateTheHate corroborates this by replying to his tweet with a cheeky photo of Senua and a PS5, saying, 'Soon…. very soon.'
'Soon' isn't quite an exact unit of measurement for time, so it's hard to gauge when a Hellblade 2 could release for PS5. Soon could mean tomorrow, or it could mean September. It could also mean April. Truly, this is all very speculative, so we will just have to wait and see when Ninja Theory decides to reveal PS5's next Xbox game.
As Warren's BlueSky post was made the day before the State of Play, it could have been referring to a game from the presentation. Now that the showcase has come and gone, there was one game that did get revealed with an April date. Days Gone Remastered continues the trend of Sony modernizing modern games, if that makes any sense. Anyways, the new version of the Bend Studio game launches on April 25.

28 Years Later Was Actually Filmed Using iPhones – Danny Boyle Explains Why
28 Years Later director Danny Boyle has opened up about his decision to shoot much of the film using an iPhone camera. The horror sequel was released last week, and has already proven to be a big success with both critics and cinemagoers. Danny previously helmed the original movie 28 Days Later, shot on hand-held cameras, giving the film the effect of looking like found footage, and his new offering used similarly lo-fi techniques. In a new interview with YouTuber Matti Haapoja's How They Filmed That series, Danny explained his motivations for using iPhone cameras (although it's worth pointing out he didn't just rifle in his pocket for his phone and start shooting, these were souped-up iPhones with impressive enhancements, with some shots requiring as many as 20 at a time to film) to record 28 Years Later. '[Using iPhones] allowed us to be very light, in our footprint, in areas of the country that we wanted to suggest hadn't been touched for 28 years,' Danny said. 'Now, a crew coming in with the normal equipment level, it's going to make a big footprint. 'We used drones a lot, as well, so we could film sequences that cameras couldn't possibly [achieve] without terribly disrupting the landscape, and making it look like a herd of elephants had gone through.' Danny added that the use of multiple iPhones and drones in 'arrays' allowed 'certain visceral moments of the film' to be even more impactful, allowing viewers to 'push inside' the two-dimensional shot in front of them before being 'thrown back out again'. Similarly, he told Wired: 'Filming with iPhones allowed us to move without huge amounts of equipment. 'A lot of Northumbria [where 28 Years Later was shot] looks like it would have looked 1,000 years ago. So we were able to move quickly and lightly to areas of the countryside that we wanted to retain their lack of human imprint.' During a separate interview with IGN, he also conceded that the iPhone-quality filming felt like something of a callback to 28 Days Later's shooting techniques. 'We decided to carry it as an influence,' he explained. Sony It's not just the use of iPhones as filming equipment that has generated conversation around 28 Years Later, though. The movie's dramatic climax has also raised plenty of eyebrows – with Danny having recently explained the meaning behind those perplexing final scenes.

The ‘Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle' Trailer Locks In For the End
Shonen fans have had eyes on Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba since it dropped in 2019, and it's making its way back to the big screen. Sony and Crunchyroll released the first trailer for the series' upcoming Infinity Castle movie, which will be the first in a trilogy that's rtaking big steps toward wrapping things up. Based on the manga's arc of the same name (which spans Chapters 140-183) and picking up after the end of season four, the members of the Slayer Corps have been transported into the titular castle, a massive pocket dimension that's also the lair of demon lord Muzan Kibutsuji. To bring down Muzan, Tanjiro and his fellow Corps members will have to carve through the Castle's horde of demons, which also include Muzan's Kizuki lieutenants. One way or another, Tanjiro is determined to reach Muzan and kill him so he can finally cure his sister Nezuko. Infinity Castle follows suit from 2020's Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – The Movie: Mugen Train, in that it's an actual film rather than a compilation of previous anime episodes. Mugen earned $507 million worldwide, turning it into the highest-grossing Japanese film ever, and propelled the anime into massive popularity. Infinity is the series' penultimate arc, and at the moment, Ufotable's keeping focus solely on this one movie: it hasn't mentioned anything about the second and third installments, or if it'll also adapt the 'Sunrise Countdown' arc into film once this trilogy is done. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle hits theaters on September 12. It's time to have some fun 🔥 Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle premieres September 12, only in theatres ⚔️ — Crunchyroll (@Crunchyroll) June 28, 2025Want more io9 news?

Meta's Xbox-Branded Quest 3S Just Sold Out for All the Wrong Reasons
Everyone loves limited-edition stuff. There's Sony's 30th anniversary PS5, or Analogue's many limited edition Pocket handhelds, or— I don't know—the Shamrock f***ing Shake. But there's one type of person who loves limited-edition stuff more than your average consumer, and it's a scalper. For proof of that, see Meta's recently released Xbox-branded Quest 3S. See Meta Quest Xbox Edition at Best Buy In case you missed it, Meta's new limited-edition Quest 3S bundle just recently sold out, which on the surface sounds like a great thing for VR and XR. You may be tempted to say, 'Oh, wow! People really like XR headsets, huh?' But before you do that, it may also be worth taking a short gander at eBay, because the resale market over there paints a slightly more cynical picture. It's full of Xbox-branded Quest 3S bundles, folks—and they ain't just giving them away. This bundle, for reference, retails at $399, and the average price I'm seeing on eBay is about $600, though sometimes a little more or a little less. Here is the sad state of affairs on eBay as of the time of typing these words: The list goes on and on, unfortunately, which tells me one thing: the scalpers had a field day with this thing. And that's just kind of sad. It's not sad that someone would want to make money from reselling a limited-edition gadget—as annoying as scalpers are, I can't blame anyone for having a side hustle in this economy. But it is sad that Meta seemingly didn't do much to preserve its limited-edition Quest 3S for XR nerds who unequivocally deserve first dibs. It's also maybe a little sad—as someone who borders on said XR nerd identity—that the race to being out of stock may not actually be driven by real demand. XR headsets, while not the most crucial gadget in the world, are pretty cool and deserve more shine than they get, in my humble opinion. It would have been nice to see them really break through with a little help from an Xbox marketing gimmick. But as always, the almighty aftermarket prevails. To be fair, I'm sure not all of the sales were scalpers trying to make a buck off the XR headset's rarity. Some people, I presume, bought it because it's a pretty good deal for getting into XR—you get a sleek black headset with Xbox green details, Meta's Elite Strap for your head, and a limited-edition Xbox controller to top it off. Based on the retail price of all of that, this bundle saves you somewhere in the ballpark of $95. Some people bought this bundle because of Xbox, too. Here's one instance in which someone seems to have pulled the trigger on this bundle just for the controller. Honestly… respect. That's much more pure than trying to spin the whole thing around for $200. The idea that someone buys the new Quest colorway just to nab the limited edition Xbox Controller and sell the rest is really comical.. — SadlyItsDadley (@SadlyItsBradley) June 27, 2025Listen, scalpers are an inevitable fact of life nowadays when you're buying any gadget that's even slightly in demand. Like it or not, that's just the world we live in—one colored by bots and dropshipping. But I'd be lying if I said that it wouldn't have been nice to see a little effort on Meta's part to prevent that. It can be done! Just look at the Switch 2 launch. People have been resorting to cartoonish levels of robbery to get their hands on it—that's how in-demand this thing is—but Nintendo, with a little bit of forethought, has kept the scourge of scalpers to a dull roar. I guess Meta probably doesn't care that much either way, though. A sale is a sale, whether it ends up on eBay or on your dorky XR- and Xbox-loving head. Sadly, if you're in the latter camp, it looks like the aftermarket is your only option right now. Thanks, Zuckerberg. Just because you look like a dropshipper doesn't mean you have to act like one.
