No, it’s not Top Gun 2 (though that’s definitely a thing now), it’s part deux of Han Solo in a speeder for the Han Solo movie. He’s going much faster than the last time we saw him and, hey look, there’s even a drone and another vehicle chasing him in the latest video. That’s probably there for a few really cool shots of Han escaping/racing/going for a leisurely drive. We know next to nothing about her role so here’s hoping we find out something, anything, about what she’s doing in the Han Solo m

If the rumors are true, then the next entry in the Assassin’s Creed franchise is going to be subtitled ‘Origins’. One problem: according to IMDB, it would find itself in the company of over a dozen games released in the past decade with the word ‘Origins’ in the title. OriginsDefinition: (noun) ancestry, parentage; rise, beginning, or derivation from a sourceUsed by: Dragon Age: Origins, Batman: Arkham Origins, Silent Hill: Origins, Rayman Origins, Final Fantasy Origins, X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Even if you don’t know Marvel comics lore, you’ve probably heard of X-Men villains like Magneto, Sabretooth, and the like. The outlet reports that Jack Kesy (The Strain, Baywatch 2017) will be playing Black Tom in the highly-anticipated sequel. For those not in the know, Black Tom is a mutant villain who is able to manipulate (and even change his physical form into) plant matter. Ol Jughead’s not typically thought of as a Deadpool villain, and I’m probably reading too much into this. Still, if B

This month, Square Enix is providing more free updates to the JRPG, and the additions are interesting to say the least. The first (and, in my humble opinion, strangest) of the new content is… well, you read the headline: stinky tofu. After receiving survey results from Taiwanese players, Square Enix decided to add stinky tofu to Ignis’ recipe book. All these years later and the Final Fantasy brand is still going strong and weird, and I love it. Square Enix is hiring more devs to increase product

The Arms Global Testpunch is nearly here, which means it’s time to put up your dukes (on the end of your freakishly stretchy limbs) and start downloading. The Arms demo client is available for free on the Nintendo Switch eShop right now but you won’t be able to start playing until the appointed time; just like the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire, the Arms Global Testpunch will run in multiple hour-long sessions across the weekend. Here’s the schedule:US Arms Global Testpunch times:Friday, May 26 – 5

The Final Fantasy 7 Remake is moving further into development, and Square Enix plans to beef up the dev team accordingly. That’s why the company has posted some passionately-worded recruitment messages from game director Tetsuya Nomura and other key staff over on its official website. “I believe that many of us developers share the same feeling that Final Fantasy 7 is a special title,” writes Nomura (translation via Siliconera). “The emotions I felt from playing Final Fantasy 7 twenty years ago,

The Star WarsThe best way of seeing exactly how weird and different A New Hope could have been is by seeking out The Star Wars comics. Chewbacca’s initial design was more bug-eyed and batlike – a concept later used for Zeb from Star Wars Rebels. It’s a great pub fact for the next time you need to force a link between Star Wars and Top Gun. Marcia Lucas – the forgotten hero of Star WarsFinally, we need to talk about Marcia Lucas, the forgotten hero of A New Hope. You should also check out the fol

The newest official Pokemon mobile game lets you train up a pocket monster to do all the moving for you, and it’s called Magikarp Jump. And unlike Pokemon Go, you’ll never have to leave your house to work your way through the leagues of Magikarp Jump contenders. Yes, of course there are leagues dedicated to jumping Magikarp, Pokemon has leagues for everything. You can download Magikarp Jump on iOS and Android right now. Or if you want to get more out of the games you already have, read about the

Carrie Fisher’s role in Star Wars: The Last Jedi hasn’t changed in light of her death, but the actress’ unfortunate passing has thrown plans for Star Wars 9 for a loop. This means that the Star Wars 9 script has required significant revision, to the point of, as Vanity Fair describes it, “reconceiving” the film. Oscar Isaac, who plays Poe Dameron, remarked that Fisher seemed to really enjoy her role in The Last Jedi. Rian found such a wonderful way of working with her, and I think she really rel

After Call of Duty WW2 featured what looked like a German officer prominently in some concept art, there were questions about a playable Axis character in single player. But now we have this from Sledgehammer’s Michael Condrey:@MojoTeaz You’ll fight and follow the Allied cause. Condrey also tweeted out this about sprinting in the game:Okay then – no playable Axis campaign, no forever sprinting and (maybe) no regenerating health this game. If you want to find out more, then here’s everything we k

You’ve already watched the new Game of Thrones season 7 trailer, haven’t you? However, for many, this most thrilling of teases leaves us with more questions than answers for Game of Thrones season 7. We see the Dothraki in an open plain, with her dragons, and the Unsullied fighting Lannister soldiers at a location likely to be Casterly Rock. My best guess is that we simply haven’t seen footage of them, or that HBO is saving them for season 8. Here are 15 brilliant Game of Thrones theories for se

Game of Thrones season 7 is coming in 2017. The new Game of Thrones 7 trailer gives us some idea of what might happen, but it doesn’t answer some of the biggest fan theories. Fair warning: there are tons of spoilers ahead if you’re not up to date with Game of Thrones. Euron Greyjoy will control a dragonWhat it means: Euron Greyjoy is an interesting one. Cleganebowl is one of the biggest Game of Thrones theories, and it’s still very possible that we’ll see it.

Ever heard of Viy, or ‘The Forbidden Empire’ (not the one with Jackie Chan) as it’s known over here? I won’t be surprised if the answer is no, because the 2014 Russian dark fantasy movie has somewhat slipped under the radar. Heavy fog and an impenetrable forest hide a village that’s barricaded themselves against the evils that lurk outside. Somehow a moat doesn’t prove very effective against the hellish monsters, though… Downright outstanding practical effects blended with CGI mean that its crea

This interview was conducted by Official PlayStation MagazineBack in 1993, things weren’t going so well for game developers Rand and Robyn Miller. Now Rand Miller has struck out on his own with a spiritual successor to Myst and its sequel Riven, named Obduction. It’s funny because I’ve always been kind of a PlayStation guy, and the original Myst was in some ways designed for just that. It seemed like almost there was a little bit of wasted power in the PlayStation, because PlayStation could do 3

As urgent and gaudy as the lights flashing on the many cop cars that pass through this poetically pulpy crime-thriller, Good Time sees Robert Pattinson give a career-best performance as a criminal negotiating a night of escalating violence and mayhem after a botched heist. Anyone familiar with Josh and Benny Safdie’s grimy New York movies Heaven Knows What and Daddy Longlegs will know they favour scuzzball characters caught in dire circumstances. Pattinson, for his considerable part, is all shoc

What is a man but a miserable pile of secret Netflix binges? Get ready to mark July 7 on your calendar, as that’s when the Netflix Castlevania series drops. Castlevania comes to Netflix July 7. pic.twitter.com/mTOEaiq2j324 May 2017If you ever wondered what Netflix would look like on a NES, then you’re in luck. House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and Narcos get the 8-bit treatment (after some blowing into the Netflix cartridge, natch) before the main event: Castlevania. I just hope Netflix h

One lightsaber, though that has been ever-present in the Star Wars saga, from Anakin, to Luke, to catalyst for that vision in Star Wars: The Force Awakens officially has a new owner in Star Wars: The Last Jedi: Rey. The Star Wars Show mentioned this small, but significant, detail from the Vanity Fair reveal in their latest video (skip to 3:00). I mean, he probably called space dibs on it a while back even though he made a new one in Return of the Jedi. Also: we’ll definitely be getting Rey as a

Can you feel the gentle hum of midichlorians in the air? Well, to get attuned to their subtle presence we heartily recommend giving our ultimate Star Wars quiz a go. Take the questions and find out whether you’re a Youngling, Padawan or even a veritable wielder of the Force (imagine us gasping reverently here)!

Sorry to ruin your day, night, or overall week, but I’ve got one hell of a disturbing game to show you today. Meet Blasphemous, a sort of 2D take on Dark Souls filled with unnerving, evocative, and religious imagery. The game is set in a world built on religious dogma gone awry, where self-flagellants and cross-bearing ghouls attempt to crush you into dust. This means the game should – if developer Game Kitchen can stick to its schedule – release on PC sometime in early 2019. However, should add

Any time a new game launches, it’s a race to see who can spoil it the fastest. For proof, just look at how both Prey and Injustice 2 had all their cutscenes and endings uploaded to YouTube the same day they launched. Are you the type to seek out game endings online out of curiosity? Or do you avoid those spoiler-filled videos that keep popping up in your feed at all costs? Let us know by answering the survey below, which should take two minutes tops, and let your opinion of this spoiler-filled c
