Rian Johnson, writer and director of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, must have really impressed someone at Disney. We won’t even get to see his movie until next month, but he’s already been tasked with creating a brand-new Star Wars trilogy. Before working on Star Wars: The Last Jedi Johnson was best known for directing time-jumping science fiction movie Looper, as well as cult teen detective movie Brick. “We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on The Last Jedi,” Johnson

Take a look:The game was co-developed by Tequila Works and Glowmade. WonderWorlds is Glowmade’s first game as a studio, but the talent behind the scenes has worked on LittleBigPlanet, Black & White, and Fable, among others. Considering this history, the comparisons between WonderWorlds and the LittleBigPlanet games are apt. Thankfully, it looks like WonderWorlds is full of the original game’s infectious spirit, and even has the same handmade visual quality to its environments and characters. It’

We first got a glimpse of Jodie Whittaker as Doctor Who’s 13th Doctor back in July, when she was announced as the next star to take up the role of the beloved Time Lord. But now the BBC has shared a proper look at her costume, and it’s… a little different than some expected. “It’s eclectic and weird and it’s back to the days when the Doctor actually looked alien. Moving away from Peter Capaldi’s grumpy magician look, it seems that this new Doctor will be a bit more quirky and vibrant. Is this

), but it’s only been in the past year or so that any real progress seems to have been made. According to Variety, the film made another step toward becoming more than a pipe dream this week by bringing on writer Derek Connolly. In any case, with producer Avi Arad, director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, and now screenplay writer Connolly all onboard, it feels like this thing might actually get made. Of course, there’s still the matter of casting and finding a star to play our gruff hero, Snake. I’m not s

So if you’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed Origins as much as I have, you’ve long finished the main story and are hunting Egypt for all those high level missions. The good thing is, Ubi knows that too and has released the very first of its Trials of the Gods events to keep things fresh. What better a way to kick things off by telling you to beat a version of Anubis the size of a three storey building? If you can dodge a flaming hyena, you can beat Anubis. For more Assassin’s Creed Origins conten

As technologies go, VR is still running around in diapers, costing you money and messing up your front room. by punching a suspect, but gosh darnit I’ve had fun in L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files for the HTC Vive. It’s at this point I have to give a shout out to the MotionScan tech first created for LA Noire. Not because gripping the wheel and driving in VR was hard, but because I am a terrible driver. L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files will be released in December.

Welcome to the slightly confusing world of L.A. Noire in virtual reality, an imperfect miracle of improvisation that poses big questions for all Rockstar games to follow. Hands up, I had no expectations for L.A. Noire on HTC Vive, and relatively little experience of virtual reality. Get into a fight in L.A. Noire, and you can authentically duck and dodge punches, or hold up your hands to block. L.A. Noire does attempt a more natural solution: you can pump your arms to ‘run’, altering speed with

Luke Skywalker didn’t just magically appear on that island in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Porgs are the low-key MVP of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. So, you’d think baby Porgs would double down on being oh-so-huggable, right? I just hope these Baby Porgs don’t show up on screen for long, because I don’t think the movie would survive being R-Rated. We’ve seen Baby Porgs, normal Porgs… what next, elderly Porgs? Wait, I’ve got another one: Star Wars: The Last Jedi subtitles may reveal who Snoke and Luke were talking to.

Niantic, the studio behind GPS-based augmented reality (AR) game Pokemon Go, has snagged another major partnership: Harry Potter. The company has announced it’s working on a new AR game, this one set in J.K. Rowling’s world of wizards, with Warner Bros acting as a co-developer. It’s called Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Hopefully there’s more to Wizards Unite than a simple visual swap where Pikachu becomes a Griffon. If you want to be among the first to know more when additional details are reveal

It looks like the Tom Cruise-led Mummy reboot may be all that we’ll get from Universal’s attempt at an MCU-style cinematic universe. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan, who were in charge of steering what was known as the “Dark Universe,” have departed the project. This isn’t terribly surprising; it was pretty unanimously agreed that announcing an entire cinematic universe to be in development before even one movie in said universe was released was a bad idea, an

Luke Skywalker’s turn away from the order he helped rebuild in Star Wars: The Last Jedi came as a big surprise, but if it was up to Mark Hamill we may have had an even bigger one. In an interview with SFX (out now), the actor revealed some of the thoughts he had about Skywalker’s future before the new Star Wars trilogy set it in stone. “My son Nathan is the real Star Wars buff,” Hamill said, “and he told me years ago, ‘Dad, there’s this great story where they clone an evil Luke from your severed

Consider this a bit of a non-shocker, but it was recently confirmed that Justice League will have a post-credits scene for those who are happy to hang out with the spilled popcorn and sticky floors for just a little bit longer. Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman in the film, told the BBC about the scene in a recent interview. Not exactly the greatest of revelations then, since comic book movies helped popularize the post-credits craze, and Justice League is one of the year’s most-anticipated films.

A month later, IO revealed it was keeping the rights to the franchise. And today, the company has gone a step further, confirming a new Hitman game is in development. Company CEO Hakan Abrak revealed the news in a post celebrating the release of Hitman 2016: GOTY Edition. There will also be more news to come regarding Hitman 2016 season two, but for now it’s just good to know that the business split hasn’t tempered enthusiasm or slowed the devs down. If you already own Hitman 2016 and just want
