IO Interactive needs a little more time to finish the Nintendo Switch 2 version of 007: First Light, according to Abrak. The studio wants to avoid releasing a poor-quality port and is still aiming for a Summer 2026 launch, though it might be released later in the summer.
For almost ten years, Star Wars hasn’t killed off any major characters. This is partly because the film series paused, and also because Disney+ shows often only last one season. This limited run makes it harder for audiences to become deeply connected to characters before their stories end, unlike with the original Star Wars heroes. The last significant character death was in 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, when Kylo Ren died soon after turning to the light side. But now, Disney seems to be preparing for another major loss with Din Djarin in Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu.
Released in 2019 for PC and most consoles, Outer Wilds is an action-adventure game with a unique premise. Players explore a solar system, but are trapped in a 22-minute time loop that ends with the sun exploding. To advance, you must repeatedly investigate the planets and ancient alien structures, piecing together the system’s history to understand the cause of the loop. While many games use trial and error, Outer Wilds stands out by incorporating a fixed time limit for each attempt, making it a truly exceptional experience.
The latest premium event in the game features several new RC cars. These cars handle differently and have special abilities, setting them apart from the standard vehicles in Ubisoft’s racing game.
When we first started working with Amazon on 007: First Light, there was a period of adjustment, as you’d expect when collaborating with new people,” Abrak explained. “But they quickly recognized the progress we’d already made, and we moved forward, focusing on coordinating all the details and planning for the marketing campaign.
A new teaser for the upcoming special was released during the finale of Born Again Season 2, showing some fresh footage. Despite the first season ending with a setup for Frank Castle’s revenge against Wilson Fisk’s AVTF after his imprisonment, the show didn’t explain why Castle wasn’t involved in Season 2. The reason was due to Jon Bernthal’s schedule – his commitments to One Last Kill and Spider-Man: Brand New Day prevented him from appearing in Born Again. Hopefully, the special will address his absence. The new teaser emphasizes the violent moments from the original trailer, and includes a few glimpses of previously unseen footage.
Considering how intensely Season 2 of Born Again developed – especially Wilson Fisk’s anger after Vanessa’s death – many viewers expected a final, explosive showdown filled with extreme violence between Daredevil and the Kingpin. However, the actual climax was surprisingly restrained and more in line with the season’s overall story. While there was still a significant burst of violence – Fisk’s frightening advance through the protestors was particularly impressive – their ultimate confrontation took place in a courtroom.
Set to The Rolling Stones’ “In the Stars,” he shared a rundown of games scheduled for release in 2026, and hinted at future announcements.
