GTA 6's fast-food hamburger chain, Burger Shot, is expanding with new locations across Florida starting this weekend thanks to a collaboration with Skinny Louie.

Last month, Burger Shot became available at the Kaseya Center, allowing fans to try the real version of the in-game restaurant during Miami Heat games, courtesy of a partnership with a fast-food joint known as Skinny Louie. The chain is now expanding this activation through its standalone stores across Florida. From November 13 to December 31, stores will feature Burger Shot signage, uniforms, and, of course, a menu themed after items in the game.

You can take a look at the menu and some images of the food below.

CARAMEL MILKSHAKE

All of this just goes to show how big GTA 6 has gotten. There aren't many video game franchises that could completely command and rebrand a chain of restaurants, but GTA 6 certainly has that power. The game is already the most pre-ordered title in the history of Xbox and PlayStation's digital stores, and analysts estimate that the game has generated $1 billion in revenue ahead of launch.

GTA 6 will officially release next week on November 19 and players can start pre-loading right now. Rockstar has also been trickling out small clips of in-game footage, giving players a taste of what's to come when they load in to Vice City next week.

Valheim is expanding beyond video games once again, this time with an official comic book series featuring an impressive lineup of talent from Marvel, DC, television, and animation.

Developer Iron Gate Studio has teamed up with GUNGNIR Books and MOOD Publishing to bring its Viking survival game to comics, with the first release planned for the first quarter of 2027. The multi-issue series will feature original stories set in the world of Valheim, rather than simply retelling the events of the game.

The writing team certainly has a pretty impressive portfolio that bodes well for the series. It includes Steve Orlando (Wonder Woman, Avengers), Deric A. Hughes and Ben Raab (Quantum Leap), J. Holtham (The Handmaid's Tale, Supergirl), Brea Grant (12 Hour Shift), Tim Sheridan (Masters of the Universe), and Olan Rogers (Final Space). They're joined by TD Orel, Chris Klian, Andrew Sanders, and GUNGNIR Books founder Matthew Medney.

On the art side, Scott Oakley, Vanessa Del Rey, Lucas Pereira, and Mario Del Pennino are among the confirmed artists, with Mohamad Samah overseeing production design. More talent is expected to be announced.

According to the announcement, the series will explore the mythology of Valheim's mysterious tenth Norse realm, introducing new adventures and perspectives on its gods, monsters, and dangerous environments. Expect plenty of exploration, survival, and presumably some very unfortunate encounters with the local wildlife.

“Valheim is one of those rare worlds that feels like it existed long before we ever discovered it. There are gods, monsters, entire civilizations, and a mythology so rich that the stories we can tell feel almost endless," said Matthew Medney from GUNGNIR Books. "For us, the opportunity to work alongside Iron Gate and MOOD Publishing to bring this universe into comics is extraordinary. And we've assembled an absolute army of creative talent to do it. We're not interested in simply retelling what millions of players have already experienced. We want to explore the legends that haven't been told, the corners of this world that haven't been seen, and create something that feels worthy of the incredible universe Iron Gate built. This is Valheim, and we're going to make it epic."

The comic marks another expansion for Valheim, which has now sold more than 17 million copies worldwide since launching into Steam Early Access in February 2021. The game has already made the jump to tabletop gaming with Valheim: The Board Game, also developed in partnership with MOOD Publishing.

For now, there's no specific release date beyond Q1 2027, and details about individual issues, collectible editions, and how fans can get involved are still to come. In the meantime, Valheim players can look forward to exploring the tenth realm without having to worry about keeping their food buffs topped up. Which, frankly, sounds rather nice.

Producer Hidemaro Fujibayashi explained why the development team behind the Ocarina of Time Remake toned down the ReDeads to make them less scary.

If you grew up playing the original Ocarina of Time on the Nintendo 64, you were probably traumatized by some of the game’s famously frightening enemies like the Gibdos, ReDeads, and Dead Hands. These last two were particularly terrifying for young players at the time — partially because we were still kids, and partially due to the N64’s graphical limitations that forced our minds to fill in the visual gaps in the monsters’ designs.

These enemies were a particular talking point when the Remake was first announced. Some players were doubtful that this new game could truly capture the terror of the original monsters, since a) it’s a game that’s also supposed to appeal to children and b) the updated graphics of modern Nintendo consoles don’t necessarily allow for the ‘fear of the unknown’ phenomena afforded to low-fidelity titles like 1999's Silent Hill. (There’s an entire genre of indie horror games that pursue this aesthetic for a reason, after all.)

Speaking with Gamespot, producer Hidemaro Fujibayashi explained that the Remake’s updated graphics actually made the ReDeads extremely scary at first. And while the development team was supposedly enthusiastic about this aspect of the project, he and fellow producer Eiji Aonuma felt that this detail wasn’t necessarily true to the original experience of the first game.

"With this remake, the graphics are a lot improved, and so the ReDead – the sound, the graphics, and the movement – ended up being very, very scary,” Fujibayashi said. “And the staff wanted to make this in service of making a good gameplay experience. But from our perspective, taking a step back, we felt like, ‘Let's remember the experience that we don't want to change, and taking that into consideration, maybe we've gone a step too far, so let's dial it back.’"

That being said, plenty of players feel that the Remake’s ReDeads are still sufficiently terrifying. Social media is rife with hilarious reactions from fans’ first encounters with the enemies, with both Western and Japanese players having a “nope, f**k this,” mentality after first coming across them in the game.

Others are hopeful that, should other Zelda remakes get produced, Nintendo makes its other enemies equally scary — especially since these new ReDeads are far more mobile than their predecessors.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake has, perhaps unsurprisingly, proven to be a smash hit for Nintendo; the game sold over five million copies in just four days and released to rave reviews from both fans and critics. IGN’s Logan Plant scored the title a glowing 9 out of 10, praising it for “skillfully melding the world and dungeon design of classic Zeldas with the movement and presentation of its more recent games, creating both a beautiful retelling of a legend and a rich adventure that stands on its own.”
