AlexandreNGamR shared on Twitter that this development was anticipated. Although not a typical source for leaks, the information was confirmed by trusted insider NateTheHate, who simply stated, “It’s true.”
Now that Netflix’s Marvel shows are officially part of the main Marvel Cinematic Universe, here’s a look at the storylines from those shows that fans are hoping will be continued or resolved.
Box Office Theory has made an early prediction for the opening weekend of The Mandalorian and Grogu. They forecast around $71 million in ticket sales, which would be the lowest opening for any Star Wars film released by Disney – even less than the $84.4 million earned by Solo: A Star Wars Story, a film considered a box office failure. While they believe Pedro Pascal and Grogu will attract audiences, and the use of practical effects is a plus, they point out that movies and franchises that started on streaming services haven’t always performed well in theaters, as seen with some Marvel and Pixar films.
Many fans are excited that new Star Trek movies are being planned. However, the Star Trek shows on streaming services have built a strong and loyal following. These fans were particularly hoping for more shows that would connect to the existing series, but it now appears one of those planned spinoffs won’t be moving forward.
Lazy Bear Games is promoting its new game, Graveyard Keeper 2, which will be released on the PlayStation 5 soon. While they haven’t announced an exact release date yet, they’re working to build excitement for the sequel.
For a while, Star Wars seemed destined to be remembered as one of the all-time best stories about a hero’s journey. But then, things took a different turn.
Hey, so this is pretty cool! I just saw that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy got rated for the new Nintendo Switch 2 in Taiwan. It doesn’t say when it’s coming out, but it definitely looks like Square Enix is working on a port for the new console. The game itself is awesome – Eidos Montreal did a great job with it, and everyone who played it, including critics, seemed to really enjoy it. It didn’t sell super well for Square Enix, but it’s still considered one of the best Marvel games we’ve gotten in a while.
The Voice of Cards series was a surprisingly successful project from the studio. What’s remarkable is how quickly all three games were released – within a year, and even closer to six months! These RPGs stood out with their unique card-based gameplay and presentation. While the series received positive reviews and gained a loyal following, development seemed to stop. Square Enix hasn’t said if the trilogy was planned from the start, but many fans believe there’s still more story to tell.
The team behind KPop Demon Hunters is dedicated to making the sequel as impressive as the first, but that means fans will have to wait until 2029 for it. This long gap is a concern because the K-pop world moves quickly, and the series could lose its popularity. Luckily, a recent promotion with McDonald’s might offer a solution. Netflix created short animated videos featuring the main characters—Rumi (voiced by Arden Cho), Mira (voiced by May Hong), and Zoey (voiced by Ji-young Yoo)—visiting McDonald’s as part of a “Battle for the Fans” event. Although these videos are essentially ads, they show how short, new stories can keep fans engaged between movies.
At first glance, Doki Doki Literature Club seems like a cheerful, everyday anime game, but it’s actually a disturbing psychological horror experience. The game’s creator, Team Salvato, recently announced that Google has removed it from the Google Play Store. Google stated the removal was due to the game’s portrayal of sensitive topics, which violated their policies. Fortunately, even though it’s no longer available on Google Play, there are still many other ways to play Doki Doki Literature Club.
