Behaviour Interactive and Supermassive Games confirmed that The Casting of Frank Stone, their narrative adventure game set within the universe of Dead by Daylight, is less than a month and a half away as it’s launching on September 3.

The Casting of Frank Stone‘s September 3 release date puts its launch well ahead of the Halloween holiday, so you can start 2024’s spooky season a bit earlier than usual with this game. The release date was revealed in a new trailer that also serves as a teaser for a movie called Murder Mill that’s at the center of The Casting of Frank Stone’s narrative. Essentially, players make choices for a group of friends who are filming that horror movie at an abandoned steel mill and encounter actual supernatural phenomena that shapes the course of the film’s narrative. It’s an interesting premise, so hopefully, The Casting of Frank Stone lives up to the pedigree of Supermassive’s Until Dawn and The Quarry.

There’s also a lot coming for Dead by Daylight fans who just plan on sticking with the multiplayer game for now. First off, Lara Croft is now available in Dead by Daylight as a survivor, so you can face off against supernatural killers with Crystal Dynamics’ iconic video game heroine now. Additionally, the long-awaited 2v8 mode will come to Dead by Daylight as a limited-time mode between July 25 and August 8.

The next Xbox Elite controller may have turned up in about the least official way imaginable. Reddit user ssuberlex, in a now deleted post, says they paid $200 on OfferUp for a mystery Xbox controller that looks like an unreleased Microsoft prototype.

Photos show a small built-in screen alongside hardware that resembles the Xbox Elite Series 3 design previously exposed through Brazilian regulatory material. The controller is also labeled as not for sale and carries placeholder regulatory information, giving the prototype explanation considerably more weight.

Limited-edition consoles usually settle for a new paint job with a new logo slapped on. But Sony is giving a little extra attention to detail to one of Marvel's most beloved characters. The company has revealed its Marvel’s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 collection, headlined by a Battle Yellow PS5 Digital Edition covered in enormous claw marks that appear to tear through its outer shell and expose what lies underneath.

A matching DualSense gets the same yellow-and-black treatment, complete with scratches and slashes inspired by Logan’s claws. The whole collection arrives September 15 alongside Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine, with preorders opening August 19.
