Kennedy confirmed to Deadline that she had let people know she’d be staying at her current position a little longer than planned, but she’s now eager to pursue making more films. She wants to return to working on a diverse range of projects like she did in the past, and is excited to collaborate with Frank Marshall again, particularly on his documentary work.

As a trophy hunter, I remember ThiGames well – and not for good reasons! Their games were famous for being super cheap and having really easy Platinum trophies. It was tempting for people like me who wanted to boost their trophy collection quickly and without spending much money. Honestly, having a few simple games isn’t a big deal, but ThiGames released so many of them! The PlayStation Store got completely flooded with these games, often just slightly different versions or “Turbo” editions. And if you were really dedicated, you could even get multiple Platinums by playing the PS4 and PS5 versions, plus versions from different regions that each had their own trophy lists. It quickly became a bit of a headache.

The game has been incredibly popular, selling one million copies just in the past year. Publisher Bandai Namco reported in January 2025 that total sales had reached over six million.

Softwood Trunk is actually a type of item you collect in the game. It’s made from Logs gathered by chopping down certain trees – like aspens, for example! We understand if you found this a little confusing, it’s not the most straightforward system.

A new free game, Initial Drift Online by RewindApp, is now available on Steam. It’s an online racing game with some massively multiplayer elements, letting you drive street cars on famous Japanese mountain roads. Early reports suggest it’s a surprisingly good game.

Players new to the game won’t be able to buy New World: Aeternum anymore, but those who already own it will still be able to play for another year. The developers won’t be adding any new content, so the current Nighthaven season will continue until the game’s servers are turned off.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the series, you can get a sneak peek at Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties with a playable demo before the game officially launches.

Fans are eagerly anticipating Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake from Ubisoft, a reimagining of their highly-rated 2003 classic (it currently has a 92 on Metacritic). Originally announced in 2020, before the PS5 and Xbox Series X were even available, the remake was initially planned for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, development has faced significant challenges over the past six years. Ubisoft has since removed the platform listings, and as of today, hasn’t confirmed where the game will be released this year. This led many to believe the PS4 and Xbox One versions were cancelled, but surprisingly, Ubisoft still intends to release it on those platforms.
