The second tweet hinted at ongoing mysteries, saying, “The mystery remains unsolved… The future holds more answers,” and included an eye emoji. A picture with “LZRS 28” suggests a connection to a puzzling door featured in the game’s ending. This could mean the game is getting downloadable content that continues the story.
Things shifted dramatically in 2019 when Disney acquired 20th Century Fox. Spider-Man was already connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) through a separate agreement, but the Fox deal meant the rights to the X-Men characters returned to Marvel. Since then, mutants have started appearing in the main MCU storyline (with Ms. Marvel being the first officially confirmed one). The current Multiverse Saga offers a way to incorporate the X-Men from the Fox films, and it all seems to be building towards the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. However, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this won’t be a simple team-up.
The conflict between good and evil is central to the Star Wars story. This struggle often plays out as direct battles between the Jedi and the Sith, with lightsabers clashing. But more frequently, it’s a personal battle within a Jedi, as they grapple with the temptation of the dark side and decide whether to give in or resist. Throughout both the official Star Wars timeline and the older ‘Legends’ stories, we’ve seen many Jedi fall from grace, and sometimes find redemption – characters like Kylo Ren, Jacen Solo, and even Luke Skywalker in the Dark Empire comics. However, I was particularly invested in seeing a Jedi struggle with this internal conflict in the Maul – Shadow Lord story.
Networkgo, the company behind the game Pickmos, has pulled its popular but controversial title from Steam. They described their action as an ‘intervention’ and announced it on social media.
The latest developer update explores the concept of ‘Wuxia’ and how it will be represented in the game, including the importance of honor and how it affects interactions. They explained that players will meet many different people, each with their own lives and stories, and the player will only be a small part of them. Helping these characters can have unexpected consequences, much like the ‘butterfly effect’.
I’m so excited about what Build A Rocket Boy is adding to MindsEye! They’re letting us play as this incredible assassin named Julia Black in a new mission called ‘Blacklisted’. Basically, we’re sent to Redrock City to take out two important targets, but it’s not easy – we’re dealing with threats from all sides. It sounds like we’ll be going undercover, messing with a dangerous operation, and really digging into a spy-thriller kind of story. It’s going to be awesome!
Fans are excited about the possibility of a new Avengers vs. X-Men story and seeing Thor and Captain America reunite after so long since Avengers: Endgame. However, the biggest draw is undoubtedly Doctor Doom. Robert Downey Jr.’s return generates buzz, but Doom is poised to become the MCU’s next major villain – a character who will be central to both Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Though many details are still secret, the trailer offers a first look at how the MCU is interpreting Victor von Doom.
Update 2.31 is now available for PlayStation 4! The biggest addition is the Marketplace, which lets players buy and sell items within the game.
