Welp, not everything from the ’80s can make a comeback, as Apple’s Time Bandits series has already been cancelled.A couple of months ago, the first season of Time Bandits started airing on Apple TV+, but I doubt most of you knew that because clearly it didn’t do well enough to be renewed for a second season. As reported by Deadline, the iPhone maker’s streaming service has decided to not go ahead with a second season about a month after the last episode was released.

2XKO isn’t out yet, it’s aiming for a vague 2025 release window as of writing, and a player has already got the game tattooed on his fingers. Here’s hoping it stays good and the name doesn’t change!Nitten, a long time supporter of the game for years now, posted their tats on Twitter. The game’s name – 2XKO – permanently inked onto four of his five fingers for the world to see. A sign of dedication for sure. Video game tattoos aren’t rare among gamers, with rich histories in the medium, but these games are typically classics. From what we could see, this is the first 2XKO tattoo out there (as long as one of the devs hasn’t beaten Nitten to the punch).To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings The name itself – 2XKO – proved controversial when first announced.…
