The Mandalorian and Grogu is bringing Star Wars back to the big screen after seven long years. And, according to director and writer Jon Favreau, like much of the saga, fathers and sons are at the heart of the story. But it’s not just the (surrogate) father and son you’re thinking of.Speaking in the new issue of SFX Magazine, on sale 22 April, Favreau notes that his love for deep-cut Star Wars characters led him to explore the effect that being the son of Jabba the Hutt might have on Rotta – Jeremy Allen White’s disturbingly buff space slug.“Dave Filoni…
Street Fighter – Official Trailer (2026) Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang – YouTube Watch On There’s a deep cut Easter egg in the new Street Fighter trailer, and it involves none other than directing duo Danny and Michael Philippou aka RackaRacka.In the trailer, which can be viewed above, there’s a scene where two literal street fighters are fighting in a crowd in a parking lot. That exact frame (and you can see the trailer and video game side by side in a handy video from Nerdist) is a direct homage to the loading screen from 1991’s Street Fighter 2…
Kingdom Hearts 4 was confirmed to be in development back in 2022, but Square Enix has been woefully silent on the project in the years since, with the most recent meaningful update being a batch of screenshots from May of last year that ended a three-year drought. Director Tetsuya Nomura recently suggested it won’t be until next year that we receive another big update, so for now, fans are left desperately lapping up breadcrumbs from anyone involved. Today, those breadcrumbs come courtesy of actor James Woods, who’s played antagonist Hades since the first game in 2002, and of course, the…
Square Enix has successfully taken legal action against a Final Fantasy 14 content creator it claims harassed its executives and employees. Again.In March, the developer triggered Japanese fan blog Netoge Sokuho’s apologetic shut down after claiming one of its posts harmed its staff’s reputation, and the blog’s administrator was made to pay Square Enix an unspecified sum. This new situation is similar – Square Enix’s official statement, translated both by Automaton and DeepL, reveals another apparently cooperative agreement where the unnamed content creator pays Square Enix a mysterious fee and promises not to offend the developer again.In its announcement posted…
Capcom seems very aware that it’s gone three-for-three this year with back to back banger releases Resident Evil Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Pragmata, and it also seems pretty darn confident that its next game coming out this year, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, will live up to the expectations it’s set by doing so.In a new Bluesky post, Capcom USA acknowledges its stellar string of releases with a composite image showing title cards for the above-mentioned games, grayed out with an “out now” banner in front. The only one not grayed out is Onimusha: Way of the Sword,…
2025 open-world banger Ghost of Yotei established Sucker Punch’s Ghost series as an anthology, featuring a brand new protagonist, setting, and time period, meaning it’s pretty safe to assume we won’t be getting a new game starring Atsu any time soon. In an interview with GamesRadar+ for the 2026 BAFTA Games Awards, Atsu actor Erika Ishii opened up about what it’s like saying goodbye to their character after just one game. The bad news is they’re “sad” not to be able to play Atsu again, but the good news is they’re pretty certain Sucker Punch will deliver yet another great…
Solo indie developer Oren Koren got into game development about six years ago, smack in the middle of the COVID pandemic. A software veteran, he started off by tinkering with the Unity game engine, used to make games in a range of genres, and played a classic indie card: making a giant open-world RPG. “Of course” he chose an enormous RPG, he tells me. But, get this, those are really hard to make, so he scaled down and focused on smaller projects until, eventually, he ended up working in design at the Scotland-based studio of GTA 6 maker Rockstar Games,…
Right about now, it’s time to rock with the biggity Buck Bumble. Those were the words that introduced a generation – or, rather, a handful of millennials – to the joys of cyborg bumblebee warfare, and it seems they’re now more relevant than ever. Original developer Argonaut Games came back to life just a few years ago, and the studio is taking the opportunity of April 20th’s green haze to seemingly tease a Buck Bumble revival.”Right about now Buck Bumble is officially your new wholesome 4/20 mascot,” the company says in its Bluesky announcement, “and we will not be taking…
Last week, reports began to circulate that Valve had scored a legal victory against the popular World of Warcraft private server Turtle WoW, and the owners of the server have now confirmed that it will soon be shutting down. It seems Blizzard has been prolific with the cease and desist orders, too, as Stormforge is also scheduled to shut down next month.”After almost 8 years online, Turtle WoW is heading towards shutdown,” the devs say in their announcement. “The final day of operation will be May 14, 2026, and the servers will go offline at 12:00 AM on May 15th.…
The Adeptus Mechanicus’ obsession with the latest technology will be its downfall, I swear. Like an Apple obsessive buying every new iteration of the iPhone, the Ad Mech will bankrupt itself by stumbling upon the wrong tomb in search of its latest xenos weapon. That’s exactly what happens in the new Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War 4 trailer, as Magos Dominus Nulpherus-1 accidentally awakens an ancient Necron burial site in the pursuit of new tech. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. I say this as a staunch Ad Mech Enjoyer. My tabletop army has taken a turn towards…
