Details have been limited, leading to a lot of guessing about whether the new project would be an extension of Cronos: The New Dawn, or a completely separate game. Recent tweets from leaker intercelluar suggest it’s an expansion of the existing game.
Though it cost $165 million to produce (excluding marketing and distribution), The Mandalorian and Grogu is unlikely to be a financial failure for Disney and Lucasfilm, considering the extra income from merchandise, theme park attractions, and on-demand rentals. However, it definitely didn’t perform as well as the studios likely expected for a new Star Wars film released during a holiday weekend. What caused this disappointing box office performance? Several factors contributed to The Mandalorian and Grogu having the lowest box office numbers of any Star Wars movie to date.
This week, Remedy Entertainment announced that Control Resonant, the follow-up to their popular 2019 game Control, will be released on September 24th. Currently, Resonant looks set to be a major game launch in late 2026, considering Remedy’s success with recent titles.

I’ve always thought Hedorah was the most unsettling monster Godzilla ever faced, and it’s strange that we haven’t seen it in decades after its debut back in 1970. For anyone unfamiliar, Hedorah first appeared in the 1971 film Godzilla Vs. Hedorah as an alien creature that somehow landed on Earth. Beyond being a strong opponent for Godzilla, Hedorah was terrifying because it thrived on pollution, and could change from a roughly human-like shape into a flying, disc-like form that would drain the life from anything it touched. Whether Toho brings it back in a future Godzilla World project or they decide to reboot it for the MonsterVerse, Hedorah is a classic kaiju that really deserves another appearance, especially considering how long it’s been absent from movies.
The Nintendo Switch Lite is a handheld gaming system designed specifically for on-the-go play.

Thomas Puha, the communications director, explained on Twitter that this is a perk only for PlayStation players. It’s odd that the PlayStation Store doesn’t mention this, even though the trailer shown for PlayStation made it seem that way. Unfortunately, players on PC or Xbox Series X/S will miss out.
The upcoming sequel, The Batman Part II, will bring back many of the original cast members from the 2022 film, including leads like Robert Pattinson, Colin Farrell, and Andy Serkis.

While the cast is impressive, Barry Keoghan, who memorably portrayed the Joker in a post-credits scene, won’t be appearing in the sequel.
