If you love reality-warping gameplay and atmospheric storytelling, this is an unmissable game. Now, the best part: Control is currently available free of charge on the Epic Games Store, but only until tomorrow. Once you've claimed it, the game is yours to keep, letting you dive into its ever-shifting environments whenever you want. To get Control, simply head to the Epic Games Store, sign in, locate the title, and click “Get” before the offer expires. For a quick look at what to expect, the Control - Official Gameplay Trailer by GameSpot Trailers sets the scene with telekinetic powers and unexplained phenomena.

The Dead Space series remains a staple of the survival-horror genre, known for its grim atmosphere and unsettling necromorph encounters. Despite Dead Space's storied legacy, recent news reveals that the creators of the franchise pitched the concept for Dead Space 4 to Electronic Arts—only for EA to reject the idea. This development has disappointed fans who have hoped for continued expansions to the universe, particularly after witnessing how the claustrophobic corridors of the USG Ishimura offered some of the most intense moments in horror gaming. News of this rejection, detailed in the Dead Space 4 Was Pitched To (Then Rejected By) EA article by Gameranx, suggests EA may be taking the franchise in a different direction or focusing resources elsewhere.
Although a potential Dead Space 4 remains in limbo, fans can still immerse themselves in the terror of dismembering necromorphs through various series entries. The recently released remake of the original Dead Space captured the essence of the original while offering updated visuals and gameplay, as seen in the Dead Space Remake - Official Reveal Trailer by IGN. However, there's no official word on a remake of Dead Space 2 or any further sequels. For now, longtime fans and newcomers alike can only speculate on where the series might go next. If additional Dead Space projects arise, you can bet the community will be waiting anxiously for every detail—limbs at the ready, plasma cutter in hand.
The team behind the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie is already thinking about its next potential film venture, and it's a big one: an adaptation of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The writers expressed their enthusiasm for bringing Link's oceanic exploits to life, aiming to fuse Sonic's action-packed spirit with the whimsical charm of Wind Waker's beloved cel-shaded art style. Even though Nintendo has announced that a Zelda movie is in development, there's no guarantee it will specifically focus on The Wind Waker storyline. According to the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 Writers Would Love to Write a Zelda: The Wind Waker Film article on IGN, the writers hold The Wind Waker in high regard for its adventurous tone and rich lore.
As the Sonic cinematic universe expands, fans can anticipate more high-speed chases and iconic video game references in the forthcoming movie. Meanwhile, speculation grows about how The Wind Waker's visually striking world—previously showcased in the Wii U - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD E3 Trailer by Nintendo of America—could be adapted for film. If you're a devoted Zelda enthusiast, you might find yourself daydreaming about how Link's seafaring journey could leap to the big screen under expert writing guidance. While official details remain scarce, the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 writers' declaration highlights the excitement shared by fans and creators alike. If more information on a Zelda-based project surfaces, rest assured it will continue to make waves in the gaming community, stirring up anticipation for yet another epic game-to-film crossover.
