Gray Zone Warfare: Sunken Bird Quest Guide

The Lamang Armed Forces have lost a Mi-17 helicopter somewhere in the swamps southeast of Fort Narith, and Gunny wants to waste no time in finding out how it came down and, most importantly, what the bird was carrying in the first place.

Sunken Bird is a side task in Gray Zone Warfare that takes place in the YBL-1 area once you unlock it. It is given to you by Gunny, one of the vendors with the most missions (and therefore one of the easiest ones to level up quickly).

Sunken Bird Quest Walkthrough

This is a straightforward recon mission with little opposition, unless you’re unlucky enough to find another player trying to complete it.

The quest area is located in a small swamp between landing zone Lima 2, due east of the YBL-1 bunker, and major COP Titan.

Locate the Downed LAF Helicopter

Once you reach the swamp area, your first order is to locate and inspect the crashed helicopter.

A Boeing 737 has come down in Lamang, and Lab Rat needs to find out why.

You can find it in grid square 151, 120, snuggled up against the horizontal grid line. After locating the helicopter, go around to the back where a small wooden boat is parked to complete this objective and receive further instructions from Gunny.

Locate the Cargo from the Helicopter

A quick inspection of the wreckage shows that you were not the first one to reach the crash site, and whoever beat you to it also made sure to unload the precious cargo Gunny sent you after.

Your next objective is a small LLA camp to the southwest of the crash site, guarded by two to four soldiers armed with assault rifles.

Clear them out, then head into the large house, where you will find a wide assortment of nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) gear, including full suits and respirators.

Approach the half-open wooden crate with a gas mask over it in the southwestern corner of the house, and interact with it to report your findings to Gunny. This will complete the Sunken Bird task in Gray Zone Warfare.

Turncoat needs you to jump into the LLA trenches to find some documents.

Physint casting call teases a scene inspired by a classic ’90s movie

New casting call details for Physint, Hideo Kojima’s in-development spiritual successor to the Metal Gear series, have been spotted. This specific round of casting appears to be for a scene clearly inspired by Speed, as it features several characters on a hijacked bus.

An April 12 report by MP1st revealed more details, including that Physint is condnamed Shimmer, at least for the casting process. Specifically, they discovered that casting director Mari Ueda is looking for actors to portray people on a hijacked bus. That includes a mother with a newborn baby, five teenagers, and a German man who is supposed to be “intense” and “confident in a psychotic way.” The description of the German man also references Mads Mikkelsen’s performance in Hannibal, a surprising connection given that Mikkelsen previously appeared in Death Stranding.

As of now, it’s unclear if this casting is just for minor single-scene roles or if the people on this hijacked bus will be important to Physint’s overarching narrative. If nothing else, it suggests that the game will likely pay tribute to the film Speed at some point, which is fitting as Hideo Kojima loves referencing films in his games.

Any small bits of information we get on Physint are tantalizing, as not much is known about the project. Kojima Productions and Sony Interactive Entertainment first teased Physint during a January 2024 State of Play, but comments made by Hideo Kojima since have indicated that the project is a ways off from launch. Currently, the only actors confirmed for the project are Don Lee, Charlee Fraser, and Minami Hamabe, but this casting call shows that the process of getting more talent on board is still ongoing.

Physint does not currently have a release date, but we know Kojima Productions will primarily develop it for PlayStation. Hideo Kojima’s next game is currently expected to be OD, which is being published by Xbox Game Studios and will star Sophia Lillis and Hunter Schafer.

Double Dragon – A near Arcade experience brings back the nostalgia via JOTD for the Amiga AGA! [WIP UPDATE]

This week just gets better and better as another game has hit our news feeds and it’s none other than Double Dragon for the Amiga, but as an AGA edition. First released way back in the 80’s by Taito Corporation, Double Dragon in the Arcades was a fantastic beat ’em up game that featured high grade fighting two player fun on many different systems such as the Amstrad, Amiga and C64. But now thanks to JOTD, he is working on bringing the Amiga version more in line with the Arcade. In fact one person even said “I honestly thought that the original was the worst home conversion that could possibly exist.”

Original Version

AGA Version

The long-standing quest to bring a definitive, arcade-quality version of Double Dragon to the Amiga could be reaching its full potential. Legendary porter JOTD (Jean-François Fabre) has provided a significant update on the project, which is being developed specifically for AGA-equipped Amigas (such as the A1200 and A4000). After what JOTD described as “brutal debugging sessions,” the developer has successfully stabilized the core of the game, with scrolling still to fix and a completable game. While the original 1980s Amiga port was often criticized for poor graphics and lackluster performance, this new AGA edition which also features music by n09, aims to leverage the advanced chipset to deliver a much more faithful recreation of the arcade original.

This project follows JOTD’s successful track record of high-quality Amiga conversions, including recent releases like Dig Dug 2 (January 2026) and Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja. His ports are known for being “transcodes” that often use original arcade code (z80 to 68k assembly) to ensure maximum accuracy.

[UPDATE] – While the game isn’t yet ready for release, here is what was said underneath the latest gameplay video, about the upcoming Double Dragon AGA with music by n09. “Just featuring the attract mode with 2 players right now, but game is in an overall playable state at the moment. Stay tuned. 128 colors used (64 was really too washed down) .”

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Soars Past 0 Million, Becomes No. 3 Highest-Grossing Gaming Movie Of All Time

Big business.

A Scene From Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie

2026 kicked off with the next big video game movie–The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and it’s already the No. 3 highest-grossing video game film of all time. It’s surpassed an astonishing $600 million worldwide after 10 days.

It was not the first video game adaptation from Hollywood and won’t be the last. But where does A Minecraft Movie rank all-time against biggest video game movies? In this gallery, we’re rounding up the highest-grossing video game films of all time, breaking down box office results by domestic, international, and worldwide figures.

The top 16 list is made up of massive franchises like Pokemon, Tomb Raider, Angry Birds, and Sonic, just to name a few. Looking ahead, there are a boatload of new video game films in the works.

Without further ado, here are the top 16 highest-grossing video game movies of all time. All box office figures are pulled from Amazon’s BoxOfficeMojo.

1: The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)

Following 1993’s poorly received live-action Super Mario Bros. Movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, many wondered if Nintendo would ever again attempt to make a Mario movie. Well, 30 years later, the company partnered with Minions studio Illumination to do just that–and the movie is off to a fantastic start. Released on April 5, 2023 the movie quickly earned $377 million worldwide over its first five days and rapidly cleared more than $500 million. It’s now earned more than $1.3 billion.

The movie features the voice of Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, and Jack Black as Bowser.

Domestic – $574,934,330International – $787,009,114Worldwide – $1,361,943,444

2. A Minecraft Movie (2025)

A Minecraft Movie was released on April 4, and it had a gigantic debut. It became the the No. 2 highest-grossing video game movie of all time with more than $950 million globally.

Unsurprisingly, a sequel is now on the way for 2027.

Domestic –$423,949,195International – $534,000,000Worldwide – $957,949,195

3: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026)

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie blasted off on April 1, and it’s already rocketed past $600 million worldwide. It’s expected to keep climbing higher in the coming weeks. The movie arrives is Nintendo’s home country of Japan later this month, so the film should get another boost then.

Domestic – $308,100,000 International – $327,000,000Worldwide – $635,100,000

4: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (2024)

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 released in December 2024 and became a fast success, zipping up to No. 2 all time for a video game movie. It’s also just the second video game movie ever to exceed $200 million from the domestic market. Among other new additions, Keanu Reeves joined the film in the role of Shadow the Hedgehog.

Domestic – $230,549,154International – $232,000,000Worldwide – $462,549,154

5: Pokemon Detective Pikachu (2019)

Warner Bros. 2019 video game movie Pokemon: Detective Pikachu was a hit with critics and fans alike, and it did big business at the box office to rank as the second-highest grossing video game movie of all time worldwide. It featured the voice of Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu and a heartwarming and rollercoaster story involving Pikachu teaming up with a young man, Justice Smith, to find his father. Bill Nighy also starred in the film, which featured incredible CGI pocket monsters and some epic fight scenes, including a showdown with Mewtwo.

Domestic – $144,174,568International – $289,303,033Worldwide – $449,762,638

6: Warcraft (2016)

Legendary and Blizzard teamed up to make a Warcraft movie back in 2016, but development began much earlier and went through several changes before it was released. At one point, Spider-Man’s Sam Raimi was attached to direct, but he dropped out due to the working conditions with Blizzard. Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones, the son of David Bowie, eventually signed on to direct the fantasy film. It bombed in the US but did massive numbers internationally to pull in $439 million worldwide, putting it at the top of the charts. Jones said he had plans for a trilogy, but the poor box office performance in the US means that will likely never happen.

Domestic – $47,365,290International – $391,683,624Worldwide – $439,048,914

7: Rampage (2018)

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson starred in 2018’s Rampage, an adaptation of the classic video game in which The Rock plays a primatologist who works with a supersized gorilla to fight other massive monsters. Director Peyton Reed and The Rock previously worked together on the movies San Andreas and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

Domestic – $101,028,233International – $327,000,000Worldwide – $428,028,233

8: Uncharted (2022)

Sony’s Uncharted film starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, blasted off in February 2022 to bigtime box office numbers. It had a huge $44 million opening weekend in the US, and has to date earned more than $400 million globally. That’s good enough for Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman to call Uncharted Sony’s next big franchise, suggesting a sequel may be on the way. Director Ruben Fleischer has said he’s game for a sequel and has even outlined some of his ideas for a follow-up, including putting Uncharted 4’s epic car chase set piece into a potential Uncharted 2.

Domestic – $148,648,820International – $258,492,438Worldwide – $407,141,258

9: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022)

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 released in April 2022 and has become a quick success. It recently surpassed the 2020 original Sonic film to become the highest-grossing video game movie of all time in the US.

Globally, it’s not as high on the charts, but it’s still performing well enough to become one of the highest-grossing video game movies ever. Unsurprisingly, plans are in motion for a Sonic movie cinematic universe, which will include Sonic 3 and a Knuckles TV series.

Domestic — $190,872,904International — $214,548,614Worldwide — $405,421,518

10: The Angry Birds Movie (2016)

Rovio’s Angry Birds is one of the best-known mobile games of all time, so it was no surprise that it became a movie. Sony Pictures produced the animated film, which boasted an all-star voice cast that featured Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Sean Penn, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Bill Hader, and Peter Dinklage. The screenplay was written by The Simpsons veteran Jon Vitti, and the film was directed by Disney animation veterans Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly. A sequel was released in 2019, but it performed considerably worse, bringing in about $148 million.

Domestic – $107,509,366International – $244,824,563Worldwide – $352,333,929

11: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

Disney produced 2010’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which starred Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan. The rest of the cast included Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, Gemma Artertron, and Toby Kebbel. The movie, which is based on Ubisoft’s popular series, was directed by Mike Newell, who previously directed Four Weddings and Funeral as well as Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Similar to Warcraft, it made the bulk of its money from foreign markets, pulling in $245.6 million, or 73% of its worldwide total ($336.4 million), from markets outside the US.

Domestic – $90,759,676International – $245,606,000Worldwide – $336,365,676

12: Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

After controversies surrounding its character models being… not so good, the Sonic the Hedgehog came to the big screen in 2020 and was generally well-received and made a lot of money. The film features Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, with Jim Carrey playing the evil Dr. Robotnik. The success of the film led Paramount to quickly greenlight a sequel, which comes to theaters in April, featuring Knuckles and Tails, in addition to the returning cast.

Domestic – $148,974,665International – $170,741,018Worldwide – $319,715,683

13: Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2016)

In total, Anderson’s Resident Evil films, which are inspired by Capcom’s scary longrunning zombie video game series, have made more than $1 billion at the box office. Anderson and Jovovich stayed in business with Capcom after The Final Chapter, as they made the Monster Hunter movie in 2020.

Domestic – $26,830,068International – $285,412,558Worldwide – $312,242,626

14: Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)

Domestic – $60,128,566International – $240,099,518Worldwide – $300,228,084

16: Tomb Raider (2018)

After multiple films starring Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander took on the role of Lara Croft in the 2018 film from The Wave director Roar Uthaug. The film was partly inspired by Crystal Dynamics’ 2013 reboot, telling an origin story for the character. Croft is trying to solve the mystery of her father’s (Dominic West) disappearance. The film also starred Walton Goggins, Daniel Wu, and Kristin Scott Thomas. The movie made the bulk of its money ($216.4 million; 78.8%) from international markets, with just $58.25 million from the US. A sequel is now said to be in the works, but whether or not it ever gets made remains to be seen.

Karl Urban Wants To Star In A Red Dead Redemption Film

Karl Urban Wants To Star In A Red Dead Redemption Film

It’s a testament if your career kicks off with Lord of the Rings and only gets dorkier from there. New Zealand actor Karl Urban has stepped into starring gigs in Star Trek, Judge Dredd, The Boys and in short time Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat. But there’s one more feather Urban would like in his cap. It happens to be a video game character whose cap already has a feather in it: John Marston.

In an interview with Square Mile magazine, the actor said if he had his choice of any video game adaptation, it would be as John Marston in Red Dead Redemption. “I’d love to play that character,” said Urban. “Red Dead is a fantastic game. It’s interesting because I didn’t really have too much of an opportunity to get that heavily invested in the gaming culture… when I did get the rare opportunity, Red Dead was certainly one of the games that spoke to me.”

It goes without saying that Urban wanting to star in a Red Dead Redemption film does not mean an adaptation of the 2010 classic is in the pipeline. In fact, Rockstar seems to be one of the few major developers not chasing cross-media expansion (though they may have their hands full with Grand Theft Auto VI). Still, stranger things have happened than making a little wish. Kirsten Dunst was recently added to the cast of Minecraft 2 after telling Town & Country it was her dream role a year prior. Albeit because she wanted to “make a movie where I don’t lose money.”

The final season of The Boys began earlier this week. Urban will also be putting on Johnny Cage’s shades in Mortal Kombat II when it comes out in May. He told Square Mile to expect a slightly more humble rendition of the character, if only because Cage is left baggy a deflated ego. “He is a man that the world has forgotten about,” said Urban. “To me, that was really fertile ground to launch the character into. That gives me somewhere to go as an actor.”

Microsoft Might Be Considering Removing Call Of Duty From Game Pass

Microsoft Might Be Considering Removing Call Of Duty From Game Pass

When Microsoft hoovered up Activision-Blizzard for a terrifying sum of money, one of the biggest reasons was to feed the ever-hungry Game Pass with the biggest yearly release in the world, Call of Duty. But now, Microsoft is apparently considering removing the series from the subsciption.

Let’s be clear: this is just a rumour, stemming from Jez Corden of Window’s Central. According to Corden, who was speaking on the latest episode of his pesonal podcast: “it’llinteresting to see… if they take Call of Duty out of Game Pass this year, which is a possibility from what I’ve heard,”

Corden doesn’t mention exactly where he heard this, but he has proven connections within the industry, so presumably his source is inside of Microsoft or Activision-Blizzard.

Now that you’ve got the main snippet, let’s talk about the context that it was brought up in. For a good chunk of the episode, Corden is discussing Game Pass, the rumours of new tiers being introduced and the possibility of Xbox’s new boss bringing the pricing back down.

He explains that Microsoft internally uses a “member weighted” style formula to charge Game Pass for first‑party engagement, so a giant title like Call of Duty “vacuums up” a lot of that internal revenue, leaving less budget to bring in new games that help prevent churn. He also notes that putting Call of Duty day one into Game Pass hurts traditional Call of Duty sales at the same time, so the franchise is effectively damaging both Game Pass economics and CoD’s own business model.

From there he pivots into the pricing/tier question and says Microsoft may need more flexible bundles or tiers, suggesting that some “big service games” could be pushed into a higher, “super tier” while most games sit on a cheaper plan. In that context he throws out the idea that if Call of Duty is such a problem for the business, Microsoft should let people “get rid of Call of Duty” from their bundle and that he personally doesn’t need it. That leads into the line we’re interested in a bit later about the series potentially leaving the service completely.

On the one hand, it’s a big step backwards considering Call of Duty on Game Pass was one of the big reasons behind the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. On the other hand, if the series’ removal also brought the price back down, people would probably be pretty happy to see it go.

It would also mean yet another massive u-turn for Microsoft, which they’ve already done so many of that I’m getting fucking dizzy, my dudes.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any official Call of Duty sales numbers to really see how much of a decline the series has seen, but we do have anecedotal evidence suggesting sales have dipped quite badly.

Zippy Race as an Amiga 500 port by Modern Vintage Gamer ( WIP ALPHA )

Shock!! This isn’t a JOTD Arcade to Amiga port! As I’ve found out through our Commodore Amiga Facebook group that Modern Vintage Gamer is not only still working on an Arcade to Amiga port of the top down racing game called ‘Zippy Race’, also known as MotoRace USA in the states, but as of today you can play the first alpha released to the public. A game in which the player controls a racer who must travel on a motorcycle from Los Angeles to New York City. To coincide with this news, MVG has provided a short game play video with inclusive screenshots.

Here’s the latest about the game from the website. “This is a conversion of Zippy Race – an early 1983 arcade game by Irem to the OCS Amiga. Please note, that this is a fan conversion – no reverse engineering was performed in any capacity. This is not a transcoded game and as such the entire game was written by hand to match the original arcade game as closely as possible. There will be some differences. I’ve made a public alpha test release available to get feedback. Please let me know what you think!

Features:

– Full Zippy Race game with 500cc, 750cc and 1200cc loops- All stages faithfully recreated- Arcade Music converted to ProTracker format- Optimized for speed, runs at 50/60fps on any Amiga with 1Meg

As this is a fan conversion, it is being given away for free. The entire game was written in C with some assembly
