When Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) finally appeared in She-Hulk this season, he had a surprising new look not seen before in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While on-screen we’ve primarily seen Daredevil in his iconic red leathers and, in some cases, a homemade black suit, he appeared on She-Hulk in a red and gold version of his costume, which nods back to the character’s comic book origins from his first appearance in 1964.

If you’re wondering whose idea it was to put Matt Murdock in the classic look, wonder no more. Speaking to GameSpot, She-Hulk director Kat Coiro revealed the not-so-surprising answer.

This idea came from [Marvel Studios president] Kevin [Feige],” she said. “Kevin is so hands-on and I think the most surprising thing to me about e…

Yet another Diablo 4 patch will look at reducing the amount of gold needed in its endgame, specifically when it comes to Masterworking items.

Update 1.4.1 won’t officially arrive until May 28, but Blizzard has already released the official patch notes. The biggest change coming in the update is the reduced gold cost for Masterworking, Diablo 4’s new endgame upgrade system introduced as part of Season 4, Loot Reborn. Masterworking improves the values of an item’s affixes, making them much more powerful, with the other materials required obtained from a new endgame dungeon, The Pit.

Silent Hill 2 received its first big price cut the other day when Best Buy and Amazon kicked off their Black Friday sales. The deal dropped the price of the recently released remake to $50. That offer is still available, but if you bought it, you’re in for an (unfortunate) jump scare when you look at Walmart’s deal. The retailer has discounted Silent Hill 2 to only $30, which is a ridiculous discount for a well-received console exclusive that released roughly six weeks ago.

Sony has announced a string of partnerships with four different non-profits with the ultimate goal of “improving access to the tech and gaming industry” for the Black community.

The four non-profits Sony has partnered with–which the company unveiled in a blog post from late-February–are Black Girls CODE, Black In Gaming, Gameheads, and The Hidden Genius Project. It’s unclear how Sony intends to bolster these non-profits’ efforts; however, the company committed $1 million in June 2020 to support organizations aimed at ending systemic inequality following George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police.

Each of the non-profits targets the same goal: increasing the number of Black employees in the fields of gaming and technology. A couple have specific parameters–suc…
