Metroidvania games are all about speed, skill, and exploration. The genre has long gone hand-in-hand with the speedrunning community, encouraging players to clear them with a high degree of excellence.

You know that feeling when your friends are all waiting for you but you are still choosing what to wear? That is just about the only aspect where a Manhattan socialite and a stalker can relate to each other.

Sony It feels like we only just heard that Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s 28 Years Later was in development, but the long-awaited sequel already has a full-length trailer and a solid release date. Set almost 30 years after the initial outbreak of the rage virus, 28 Years Later focuses on the lives of a new group of survivors who have managed to find a modicum of safety living on an isolated, tied island. Because the island is only connected to the mainland by a long, thin, heavily-guarded path that seems like it might disappear when the tide comes in, people like Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) are able to build semi-stable lives for themselves. But things are very different and dangerous on the mainland where time has given rise to all sorts of new mutations in the infected. Though the trailer doesn’t really give you a sense of why Jamie wants to journey into infected territory, it makes it clear that he’ll encounter other people who have somehow managed to survive living among the rabid pseudo-undead. Between the Purge-like masks and towers of skulls on display in the trailer, the mainland human survivors almost seem more ghoulish than the infected they live in fear of. But as disturbing as the trailer is, what makes it pretty delightful is the news that 28 Years Later is set to hit theaters on June 20th, 2025.

Not only are we constantly covering and discussing what’s happening in the tech and media worlds, we’re also living it ourselves. We’re trying to navigate changes in platforms and economies, and figure out the best ways to do our work and share it with you. And it’s complicated! So, once a year or so, we get into the weeds of how it all works for us here at The Verge. On this episode of The Vergecast, it’s all inside baseball, all the time. Helen Havlak, our publisher (and everybody’s boss), joins the show to talk about our new subscription: why we’re doing it now, how we decided on a price, why we’re not getting rid of all the ads, and what we’re thinking about going forward. After that, Nilay Patel, our editor-in-chief and your Vergecast co-host and friend, joins to talk about everything else you’ve been wondering. We talk about host-read ads, what we do during ad breaks, how The Verge is like a Montessori, what he thinks about our redesign two years later, and more. We got so many good questions — thanks to everyone who called and emailed! — and we couldn’t get to them all, but we tried to answer as many as we could. If you want to know more about what The Verge is up to, and where we think (gestures widely) all this is headed, here are a few links to get you started: Here we go: The Verge now has a subscription Subscribe to The Verge From Status: The Verge Editor-In-Chief Nilay Patel breathes fire on Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s Big Tech enablers Google Zero is here — now what?

Call the Vergecast Hotline at 866-VERGE11, or email vergecast@theverge.com, and ask us anything. Our goal is always to be as transparent and accountable as we can — disclosure is our brand, after all — and we’d love to know everything else that’s on your mind.
