     GTA 6 release window confirmed by Take-Two Interactive

It can't be over a decade since Grand Theft Auto V launched, it just can't be. That's a modern game, one that came out recently, not one that launched way back in 2013. So it's always a slight surprise that we're nudging at GTA 6 so soon. Today we received confirmation that we may be seeing the next title sooner than many expected, with Take-Two Interactive confirming the game's release window.

     GTA 6 release date window, trailers, and latest Rockstar Games news

When is GTA 6 coming out? Given how many years it takes to create open worlds of the same caliber as GTA 5, it's no surprise that Rockstar Games has already spent years developing GTA 6. However, like most developers, Rockstar prefers to keep its secrets close to its chest until they're close to the end of development - and Take-Two has now confirmed when exactly we can expect it to arrive.

The Grand Theft Auto 6 release date has certainly been a long time coming. Early gameplay leaks of GTA 6 surfaced online last year, along with lines of source code and development footage for the open-world game. There's been plenty of rumors and speculation surrounding the release date since then, but we finally have confirmation of the launch window, story, and setting right here on PCGamesN. Here's all the latest on the GTA 6 release date, including trailers and news.

pokemon paradox plushes

The Pokemon Center has started selling plushes based on the Paradox Pokemon from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. You'll be able to get Scream Tail, Flutter Mane, Slither Wing, and Chien-Pao.

The prices for the plushes are slightly different depending on the species. Scream Tail and Flutter Mane cost 2970 JPY ($19.10). Slither Wing costs 4400 JPY ($28.30). Meanwhile, Chien-Pao costs 3520 JPY ($22.65). The difference in price may be due to the different designs requiring more or less materials than the others. The North American Pokemon Center does not have these plushes available. However, you should be able to purchase them even if you live overseas through proxy services or sites.

The Pokemon Center in Japan has released several Pokemon Scarlet and Violet plushes in the past. In September 2023, it released dolls of Ogerpon, Okidogi, Fezandipiti, and Munkidori. Later in December 2023, you could get dolls of Charcadet, Grafaiai, Tinkatink, and Palafin (Hero Form).

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Paradox Pokemon look like ancient or futuristic versions of existing Pokemon. For example, Scream Tail looks like a version of Jigglypuff that may have lived a long time ago. While Chien-Pao is not a Paradox Pokemon, it is a Legendary that is a dual Dark and Ice Type, and is one of the Treasures of Ruin quartet.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch.

return to silent hill

The newest addition to the Silent Hill film line will be Return to Silent Hill. A preview that came out during the Cannes Film Festival gave film-goers their first look at the new Pyramid Head. [Thanks, Variety!]

Christophe Gans, who worked on the previous 2006 Silent Hill movie, is the director for this one. He co-wrote the script with Sandra Vo-Anh (Beauty and the Beast) and William Jose Schneider (The Crows). Gans and Vo-Anh worked together on the 2014 adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, which star Léa Seydoux and Vincent Cassel.

Return to Silent Hill will adapt Silent Hill 2. Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) stars as James and Hannah Emily Anderson (Jigsaw) plays Mary. It's likely that she will also play Maria, the mysterious woman with an uncanny resemblance to Mary whom James encounters in Silent Hill.

Silent Hill 2 is widely considered to be one of the best video games of all time with its psychological horror and usage of symbolism. Since its release in September 2001, it has sold over a million copies. Bloober Team announced a remake in October 2022 and it is still in development.

Return to Silent Hill started filming in April 2023 and it does not have a release date yet.

Fist of the North Star Author Tetsuo Hara Drew Furiosa: Mad Max Art

Fist of the North Star manga author Tetsuo Hara drew a special illustration of Imperator Furiosa from the Mad Max series of movies ahead of the release of the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga movie. In addition, Warner Bros announced that the illustration will also be featured on the cover of the next issues of the Japanese film magazine Eiga HiHo.

The issue of Eiga HiHo will release in Japan on May 21, 2024. The artwork depicts the character of Furiosa with her iconic buzz cut and prosthetic left arm, while wielding a revolver on her right hand. You can take a better look at the illustration here:

https://twitter.com/warnerjp/status/1790880108678705519

Furthermore, Hara himself offered some words about the upcoming film after having watched it in a premiere ahead of its general release. You can read a translation of what Tetsuo Hara had to say about the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga movie here:

"It is great! It was interesting from beginning to end. I have been greatly influenced by director George Miller myself. I thought it wasn't possible, but I didn't know there was such a way of creating (art.) And I am truly astonished by the fact that (Miller) keeps showing us new cinematic worlds. I seriously wanna be his apprentice!"

Tetsuo Hara

In 1983, back during the creation of the Fist of the North Star manga, the Mad Max film series was particularly influential to Hara alongside series writer Yoshiyuki "Buronson" Okamura. As a reminder, fans of the apocalyptic martial arts series are in luck, as a new Fist of the North Star anime series was announced on September 2023, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the manga.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is set to release on May 24, 2024 in North America and May 31 in Japan, where it is known as Furiosa: Mad Max.

FuRyu Prize announced that coming this Fall 2024, a new figure of Hatsune Miku will be available as a prize in arcades across Japan. This particular one is a member of FuRyu's specialized merchandise designed as arcade prizes for crane games.

Here is the original announcement, which includes the concept art for the figure's design.

https://twitter.com/furyu_prize/status/1790931488869130474?s=61

Ashima (アシマ), a well-known illustrator on Pixiv, created the concept art of this Miku, and FuRyu recreated the intricate detailing and ornate design choices in the figure.

FuRyu Prize are the creators of the Trio-Try-iT line,  a series that it noted is designed to be creative and innovative. The character merchandise is also tailor-made for crane games and arcades in Japan. As such, the company will commission artists and illustrators with unique art-styles for the items. It will then attempt to interpret them as closely as possible as a real PVC Figures. 

However, it is possible this figure could eventually appear worldwide. Sometimes other retailers will pick up the items and sell them outside Japan. For example, Good Smile Company started taking pre-orders for the NieR: Automata 2B noodle stopper in May 2024.

The Trio-Try-iT Hatsune Miku figure will debut in amusement facilities across Japan in Autumn 2024.
