The Helldivers film has found a director in Justin Lin. Lin has experience with big franchises, having directed multiple Fast & Furious films and Star Trek Beyond. Helldivers has become one of Sony’s most important gaming properties, with Helldivers 2 becoming its best-selling Sony title on PC, and one of the few games published by Sony on Xbox. In related news, Helldivers developer Arrowhead has enlisted the help of Sony PC port specialist Nixx to help trim the file size of Helldivers 2 on PC. Currently, the game takes up a massive 154GB of space, but the beta version now comes in at around 23GB. Arrowhead plans to roll out the space-saving update after testing is complete. And finally, Xbox has revealed its December Game Pass lineup, with Mortal Kombat 1 leading the way. The science-fiction horror game Routine will also launch on the first day of the service.
