In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jon Favreau explained that Grogu has changed. While Din Djarin had to constantly protect him during the first two seasons, Grogu now appears much more independent and capable of looking after himself.
A major leak, first spotted by @multiversusie, suggests seven new fighters are planned for Invincible VS. The information came from unused voice lines discovered within the game’s data. Along with popular characters like Angstrom Levy and Oliver Grayson, the leak revealed some lesser-known faces from the Invincible universe will also be joining the fight.
There’s another free item to be aware of: the Razor Crest Mini-Build poly bag (30728). You’ll get it free with any Star Wars purchase of $40 or more. However, this offer doesn’t apply to sets designed for adults. For example, if you spend $850 on the Millennium Falcon (75192), you’ll receive the Darksaber, but not the poly bag. This is a bit of a strange rule with this year’s promotion, so it’s good to know before you complete your purchase.
The recent run of Star Trek shows has come to an abrupt end with the cancellation of Starfleet Academy. Just a few years ago, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Discovery, Picard, and Strange New Worlds were all airing new episodes within the same year, but now there are no new Star Trek series being made or planned. The lukewarm response to Star Trek: Starfleet Academy demonstrates that its attempt to appeal to younger audiences didn’t succeed.
These collectible figures are part of NECA’s popular Ultimate line, scaled at 7 inches tall. They come with lots of accessories and incredibly detailed sculpting, mirroring the characters’ on-screen appearances. The first wave features four different figures, each priced at $39.99.
Now that Nintendo is adding guest characters to its games, it would make sense for Street Fighter to do the same with other popular Capcom characters. Figures like Morrigan from Darkstalkers or Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil could easily fit into the fighting game. While crossovers already happen in games like Marvel vs. Capcom, these characters would be true ‘guest stars’ because they’re central to their own franchises, and each has a unique personality, potential moves, and backstory that would make them great additions to Street Fighter.
Rei Ami, who voices Zoey in KPop Demon Hunters, spoke frankly about the challenges women face in the entertainment industry. She explained that it’s often incredibly difficult being a woman in a field dominated by men, often requiring twice the effort with a constant need to appear positive while facing constant criticism. She described the impossible standards women are held to – being told they’re either too thin or too heavy, too quiet or too dramatic. Ami emphasized that confidence is often seen as a threat, yet it’s precisely that confidence that draws attention. She celebrated the resilience and strength of women, calling their ability to persevere a superpower, and thanked all the women present for inspiring, leading, and protecting others. Her message was clear: women shouldn’t be made to feel they are ‘too much’ – they are exactly as powerful and deserving as they believe themselves to be.
Last week, Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors was the third best-selling game on Steam. This fast-paced, card-based roguelite is a spin-off of the popular 2022 indie game, Vampire Survivors, created by the same developers. While it doesn’t seem to be reaching the same level of popularity as the original, Vampire Crawlers is already a hit with players, many of whom describe it as incredibly addictive.
Resynced is a complete rebuild of the popular 2013 game, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, and is built using the newest version of Ubisoft’s Anvil Engine. Because it uses the same technology as Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it includes features like immersive Atmos sound for realistic weather, improved parkour that keeps Edward Kenway’s original moves, and tools like Observe Mode.
We’re really pleased with how the game is coming along. I’ve personally played through it over 40 times already! We’re eager to share it with everyone and are working hard to make sure players have a truly memorable experience.
