Like many big-budget Hollywood blockbusters,
Ghostbusters: Afterlife was supposed to premiere in theaters last year but was delayed multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s currently slated to arrive this November, but fans should have the opportunity to learn a bit more about the highly anticipated sequel as early as next week, because the annual
Ghostbusters Day once again falls on June 8 this year. Dust off your proton packs, deep clean those ghost traps, and check out a brief teaser for the event below.

Fantasy novel, inspired in part on the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, about mercenaries transporting a sacred oracle in 16th-century Netherlands.
With lush, erudite prose and a large cast of darkly eccentric humans and monsters, this spellbinding slipstream novel from Catling (the Vorrh trilogy) feels like stepping into one of Hieronymus Bosch’s playfully macabre paintings works which are aptly referenced in the novel’s second act. In a fantasy revisionist’s version of early 16th-century Netherlands, a troupe of ruffians transporting a malformed oracle and led by the fearsome Barry Follett travel across the wilderness and over Das Kagel, a mountain rumored to be the ruins of the Tower of Babel.

Alien 3,
AvP Requiem and

Alien: Fate of the Nostromo.
It’s a collaborative, strategy-based, thriller board game that makes anywhere from one to five players members of the
Nostromo crew. Together, players must survive and escape before the alien kills them, which means the game will never end the same way the movie does. Either everyone wins, or everyone loses, and each can be accomplished in several different ways. To celebrate Alien Day April 26, aka 4/26 (as in moon LV-426) Gizmodo was the first to talk to the game’s designer Scott Rogers about
