After much discussion, it’s now official: a new Klingon character in Star Trek is LGBTQ+. While it hasn’t been specified if Jay-Den Kraag (played by Karim Diane) is gay, bisexual, or pansexual, the seventh episode of Starfleet Academy strongly suggests a romantic relationship with human War College student Kyle Djokovic. Furthermore, Karim Diane’s co-star, George Hawkins, has confirmed Jay-Den is also attracted to Khionian student Darem, stating there is “romantic interest” between them.

BMX Streets first launched for PC via Steam on April 5, 2024.

Lyrical Games is fully funding the project and helping with its production and launch, but The Chinese Room will still control the creative direction and own the game’s intellectual property.

I was so excited to hear from Judge about the future of the series! When Fuhpuzy asked if he’d be back for the remake, he confirmed it’s definitely going to be him as Kratos. And it’s not a reboot either, which is a huge relief! He said they’re planning to use new technology and add a lot more content, including a completely new fighting system. He hinted we’ll probably get more details around late summer, and I’m already counting down the days!

While games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park and Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World include extra content, this version simply improves performance. The Switch 2 version runs up to 60 frames per second and displays in up to 4K resolution, giving the open-world game a significant visual upgrade – and that’s all.

Howard explained that Bethesda is taking a cautious approach to generative AI. Instead of using it to create artwork for their games, they’re exploring how AI can help with data analysis.

The new trailer for The Immortal Man centers on Shelby’s comeback and the trouble he’ll bring with his son, Duke, who is now leading the Peaky Blinders.

The New 52 era was a particularly strong period for DC Comics’ Green Lantern universe. We saw a lot of different series exploring all corners of the Lantern mythos, even those tied to the darker emotions. While characters like Larfleeze and Sinestro often had stories centered on themselves, the Red Lanterns series was unique. It didn’t just focus on its leader, Atrocitus, but delved into how rage and hatred can fundamentally change a person. And a well-known DC hero experienced this transformation firsthand, trading their familiar outfit for the red of the Red Lantern Corps.

The four-year leap forward in time is actually quite significant. Spider-Man: No Way Home takes place around Christmas 2024 (the same time as Hawkeye), meaning the next movie will be set in 2028. This is the furthest into the future the Marvel Cinematic Universe has ever gone, as the current timeline is set in 2027. This likely places the events of Brand New Day immediately before Avengers: Doomsday. However, this time jump is important for reasons beyond just that connection…
