As Neil Gaiman continues to be embroiled in controversy over sexual assault allegations made against him, the author has reportedly offered to step down from Prime Video’s Good Omens.The news comes via a Deadline report on Wednesday, which follows another report from the same outlet that Prime Video paused production on the third and final season of Good Omens in the wake of the allegations. Per Deadline, Gaiman has offered to “take a back seat on the latest season so that it can continue amid crisis talks over the Terry Pratchett adaptation’s future.” Gaiman created the fantasy series based on his and Pratchett’s 1990 novel of the same name, and serves as executive producer. Deadline adds that it “understands Gaiman’s offer is not an admission of wrongdoing” and that Prime Video is considering it, with no final decisions made one way or the other. Prime Video declined to comment on the reports. IGN has reached out to Gaiman's reps for comment.Neil Gaiman has reportedly offered to step back from Good Omens in the wake of sexual assault allegations.

Gaiman was accused of assaulting two women with whom he was in consensual relationships, although the women detailed non-consensual behavior. One of the allegations spurred a complaint with New Zealand police, which is currently under investigation. Gaiman has denied any unlawful behavior.Following the publication of the allegations, Disney also paused work on a planned feature adaptation of Gaiman’s 2008 YA novel The Graveyard Book, according to Deadline. Per the report, however, the allegations against Gaiman were only one of the reasons the studio decided to pause that project.Good Omens, which stars Michael Sheen and David Tennant leading a large ensemble cast, debuted on Prime Video back in 2019. It was originally meant to be a limited series, although the streaming platform renewed it for a second season in 2021 and a third in 2023. If you or someone you know are a survivor of sexual abuse, you can reach the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.

A Star Wars artist revealed a last-minute change George Lucas made to The Phantom Menace that would have pretty significant implications for the Obi-Wan Kenobi we know today.Concept and storyboard artist Iain McCaig gave a wide-ranging interview to StarWars.com in honor of The Phantom Menace's 25th anniversary and in it, he revealed that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan originally had their names swapped — but there's a reason for it. He explains:“For a time, the older Jedi was named Obi-Wan and the younger Jedi was named Qui-Gon. It was very poignant that at the end, as Obi-Wan dies and Qui-Gon defeats Darth Maul and stays with his Master as he passes away, he not only takes on his Master’s quest, but he takes on his name. Qui-Gon becomes Obi-Wan. That’s why when you see Alec Guinnes…

Horizon: Zero Dawn was developed by Guerrilla Games, and its remaster is being worked on by them as well. But today, the remaster's co-developer Nixxes stepped into the spotlight on the PlayStation blog to highlight a number of improvements we'll see in the remaster, including the addition of lots of new NPCs.The post breaks down a number of updates to the game, perhaps the most notable of which is that Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered will "significantly boost the number of non-player characters."

Brian van Nunen, senior technical game designer at Nixxes, offered more details and what I find to be a delightful exampl…
