Nintendo hasn’t hosted a major presentation this year, but a new rumor suggests one might happen on June 9th. It’s currently unknown what kind of presentation it will be. Here’s a breakdown of what we know, what’s still uncertain, and why that date is being talked about.
The new trailer for No Rest for the Wicked mainly highlights the game’s story and reveals that the 1.0 release will include its final chapter. It also offers a glimpse of gameplay footage captured on PlayStation 5 and beautifully demonstrates the game’s distinctive art style, which combines unsettling scenes with exaggerated character and creature designs.
The story begins with Lara in the snowy mountains of Peru, battling an opponent. She falls from a bridge and desperately tries to climb back up using a pickaxe. Eventually, she discovers a tomb, skillfully avoiding spear traps and then fighting off a bear. The action then shifts to a warmer, but equally perilous, location as she works to unlock another tomb.
Okay, so things didn’t go as planned. Instead of, you know, the afterlife, my character, Faye, woke up in this totally bizarre fantasy world. It’s full of weird, colorful butterflies and this hilariously clumsy little creature that I ended up following. I was still feeling pretty dizzy as I walked past this huge fallen tree, but I knew I had to keep moving. It’s like, somewhere else, Kratos and Atreus were starting their adventure, and I needed to figure out what was happening to me.
The game lets you drive a range of vehicles through impressively crafted environments that fans of action movies will recognize. That’s because the game is set on the actual filming locations of many famous movies. It’s a fun blend of gaming and popular films, and the announcement trailer clearly features a scene inspired by Death Race.

Both The Sopranos and The Wire are considered groundbreaking television dramas. The Sopranos is a deeply personal look at a complex character, and is known for winning 21 Emmy Awards. The Wire offers a vast and detailed depiction of urban decay, though it never received an Emmy. Both shows are highly acclaimed and deserve recognition, and the discussion about which is better will likely continue endlessly without a clear resolution.
The upcoming Stargate series was being created by Martin Gero, a writer and producer known for his work on Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. However, reports indicate the project was cancelled because Amazon executives worried Gero’s vision wouldn’t attract viewers beyond existing Stargate fans.
