Despite a lot happening in the new Supergirl movie, it’s surprisingly brief for a superhero film. Initial estimates from theaters put the runtime around 1 hour and 50 minutes, but the Irish Film Classification Office has confirmed it’s actually 1 hour and 47 minutes and 55 seconds. This makes it one of the shortest DC movies in recent years – the last one to run under two hours was 2020’s Birds of Prey at 1 hour and 49 minutes. Looking back further, only a few DC theatrical releases have been shorter, like the original Supergirl from 1984 (1 hour and 45 minutes), Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1 hour and 30 minutes), and Catwoman (1 hour and 44 minutes). It’s perhaps not the most impressive list of comparable films.

I’m satisfied with this release, but the game’s developer, Toys for Bob, hopes this isn’t a one-off. They’re aiming to revive the Spyro franchise with plans for “many new games” in the future.

Late last year, reports indicated the game developer was facing financial difficulties and had to lay off employees. According to co-founder Sean Velasco, the success of their game, Mina the Hollower, was crucial for the company’s survival, requiring approximately 200,000 copies sold to avoid further problems.

There was some initial misunderstanding, but it’s now been clarified. In an interview with IGN, Gattis explained that he didn’t confirm Amazon Game Studios would publish a sequel. He said the rumor spread quickly and was difficult to stop. He praised IO Interactive as a fantastic partner, mentioning he recently visited them in Copenhagen, and emphasized the importance of letting the current game thrive before focusing on a follow-up.

Considering what we know, Port Desire is essentially a ticking time bomb. Its delicate peace and important location make it a central hub for the game’s conflicts, and it’s filled with details – both significant and trivial – that can lead to all sorts of stories. Even something simple, like a lost dog poster, could be a lead if you choose to follow it.
