The beloved satirical workplace comedy “9 to 5” (1980) starring Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin will return to theaters for a special weeklong theatrical run beginning October 9, 2026. Tickets to see the newly restored 20th Century Studios film in theaters are now on sale, and Disney will donate net proceeds* from each U.S. ticket purchase to The Dollywood Foundation to support its flagship program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

The “9 to 5” theatrical re-release was announced today on “Give Like Dolly Day,” a new annual celebration encouraging the world to make a difference in a child’s life and honor Parton’s lifelong mission, inspiring children to “Dream More, Learn More, Care More and Be More.” “Give Like Dolly Day” is observed annually on 9/25 – a date chosen as an homage to the film’s title.

In “9 to 5,” a group of female office workers – the all-knowing manager who trained the boss but can’t get promoted (Lily Tomlin), a befuddled newcomer (Jane Fonda) and an alluring personal secretary everyone presumes is having an affair (Dolly Parton) – all band together to seek revenge on the man who is making their lives miserable. Directed by Colin Higgins and produced by Bruce Gilbert from a screenplay by Higgins and Patricia Resnick, “9 to 5” received an Academy Award® nomination for the hit title song written and performed by Dolly Parton.

20th Century Studios is releasing the newly restored film in theaters for a one-week engagement, from October 9-15.

CONTROL Resonant Out Now

Today, Remedy Entertainment announced that CONTROL Resonant, the highly anticipated sequel to the studio’s critically acclaimed, multi-award-winning CONTROL, is now available worldwide. Players take on the role of Dylan Faden as he battles a paranatural crisis engulfing a reality-warped Manhattan, unleashing his powers and mastering the different forms of his shapeshifting melee weapon, the Aberrant, to face dangerous enemies and monumental bosses. CONTROL Resonant is available now on Steam, the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S arriving October 15, 2026.

CONTROL Resonant is developed and published by Remedy Entertainment. Annapurna Pictures co-financed and co-produced the game as part of a strategic partnership with Remedy Entertainment.

“CONTROL Resonant is the result of nearly seven years of true team effort and collaboration that pushes our paranatural action RPG series into an expansive, reality-warping playground of choice, power, and consequence,” said Mikael Kasurinen, Creative Director of CONTROL Resonant. “For our new players, you don’t have to know the first game to jump into this sequel. We’ve made this easy to pick up and hard to put down. For our returning fans, we’ve pushed the scale beyond anything we’ve done before, elevating combat, exploration, and storytelling into a bigger, more memorable experience. It’s ambitious, a little wild, thought-provoking and was never easy to create, but easy was never the goal! Now that CONTROL Resonant is here, we can’t wait for our players, both old and new, to get lost in it.”

Finnish cello-metal band icons Apocalyptica have contributed a brand-new song, “Upperhand,” to CONTROL Resonant. The track accompanies the game’s opening credits and introduces players to Dylan Faden’s journey into the unknown. Upperhand is available today on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms.

“The first version of “Upperhand” was written as intro music for the game’s opening sequence. It reflects the uneasy emotions of the main character in transition to the unknown. I wanted to expand it into a full song with lyrics, and we were so lucky to get Katrine from Kalandra with her unique voice to carry this where it was supposed to go,” said Eicca Toppinen, the founder of Apocalyptica. “This song combines multiple special qualities of Apocalyptica, and getting those qualities to serve the world of CONTROL Resonant was a challenging but exciting and rewarding journey. I truly hope Remedy and Apocalyptica fans will find this as special as we do.”

iam8bit is once again teaming up with Remedy to celebrate the launch of CONTROL Resonant with a new merchandise collection. Inspired by the game, the collection includes Corrupted Metro apparel, a Billboard Bumper Stickers Pack, an Atlantis Café Espresso Cup Set, three Federal Bureau of Control propaganda posters, and an FBC Magnet Set. The posters are 1:1 recreations of their in-game counterparts, printed on 16.5″ x 23.3″ poster stock.

The full iam8bit x CONTROL Resonant collection is available for pre-order now through October 26, 2026, with shipping expected in Q1 2027. Visit iam8bit.com to explore the collection.

Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection Launch Trailer

Thirty-five years ago, Alien Breed taught a generation of Commodore Amiga owners that the scariest sound in gaming is a door closing behind you. Commodore is bringing that feeling back in partnership with original developer Team17, and retro preservation platform Antstream Arcade, releasing the Alien Breed 35th Anniversary Collection on PC via Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store, along with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch version will follow later this year.

Every game from the series’ first era is here, six in all, along with the platform variations that separated OCS (Original Chip Set) machines from AGA (Advanced Graphics Architecture) ones, original demos, and two decades of archival material that has spent most of that time in boxes and on hard drives.

“I own these games on floppy, on CD32, on original Team17 hard drives I somehow have, and in a box in my garage that I am legally not allowed to describe as organized,” said Peri Fractic, President and CEO of Commodore. “For most of the last 30 years, playing them meant owning the old hardware or knowing someone who did. Now it just means owning a controller. Everyone deserves to feel that tightness in the chest and spend 10 minutes hoping it’s only anxiety and not something … deeper.”

Released in 1991 by Team17, the original Alien Breed took the top-down shooter and made it mean. Ammunition ran out, doors needed keycards, and the intercom counted down a self-destruct sequence that had no interest in how far you were from the exit. Five more games followed across the Amiga’s lifespan, ending with the first-person firefights of Alien Breed 3D and Alien Breed 3D II: TKG, which pushed the hardware harder than most people thought it would go.

The collection includes:

Alien Breed (1991)
Alien Breed: Special Edition (1992)
Alien Breed II: The Horror Continues (1993, ECS and AGA versions)
Alien Breed: Tower Assault (1994, Amiga and Amiga CD32 versions)
Alien Breed 3D (1995, Amiga CD32 version)
Alien Breed 3D II: TKG (1996)

Modern conveniences arrive without sanding the originals down. Dual-stick controls let players aim independently of where they are running, and the classic scheme stays a menu toggle away for anyone who learned these games with one button and a great deal of patience. Instant save states, retro screen filters, and rumble support handle the rest of the quality-of-life work.

Veterans looking for a fresh reason to go back into the corridors have two. Horde Mode is brand new to the series and drops players into escalating waves with whatever they can scavenge. Rush Mode carries online co-op, so the person who used to watch over your shoulder shouting about the ammo counter can now do it from another continent.

Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) today announced SILENT HILL: Townfall is available now on PlayStation®5, Steam®, and the Epic Games Store. Developed by Scottish studio Screen Burn Interactive and co-published by Annapurna Interactive and KONAMI, SILENT HILL: Townfall is the first psychological horror title in the SILENT HILL series (a series which has sold over 17.8 million copies worldwide*) to feature a fully first-person perspective.

Watch the launch trailer here:

Players begin their journey as Simon Ordell, an outsider who has washed onto the icy-cold marina of “St. Amelia,” a remote island off the coast of Scotland. The town is shrouded in deep fog and silence where the presence of those who once lived there and fragments of memory create an unsettling world. Boundaries between reality and fiction blur.

While staying true to the series’ core “psychological horror” theme, this title is the first in the series to be a full-length game presented entirely from a first-person perspective. Players can explore the town with a deeper sense of immersion and experience puzzles closely intertwined with the story.

Tension is elevated as players hide from looming threats, life-or-death combat, and puzzles intricately woven into the narrative.

Deluxe Edition (+Pre-order) Bonus Items:

Stoke Games has just released a new map for their Early Access free-to-play tank shooter Tyr that represents a number of firsts. Core is the game’s first post-release map, its first urban map, and the first battlefield under the cover of night. The team is also excited to announce that it has now added a highly-requested feature to the game: full-time 8-player squads.

Tyr is currently sitting at 87% positive reviews on Steam, but Stoke Games isn’t taking that for granted as it continues to deliver for its dedicated community. The new Core map, which follows the recent release of the game’s first post-launch tank, Ranger, is just the beginning of the new content Stoke Games will be releasing. Community feedback remains a top-priority for the team, and the release of 8-player squads is just the latest example of the team’s dedication to delivering on what players want.

Tyr is a tank shooter where positioning, strategic decision-making, and mastery of unique abilities are the key to victory. There’s a roster of armored vehicles for you to choose from that will help define the role you take on the battlefield, each with their own armor profiles and special abilities, from cloaking tech to sonar pulses and launchable drones. Upgrade and evolve each tank to suit your playstyle with individual tech trees, ammo slots, and component upgrades.
