Here are the full patch notes:

The excitement is already incredibly high, but we’re about to get an early look at the Japanese version of the game. Jake Brigstock recently had a chance to play it and shared his impressions with indy100 on April 8th at 6 AM PT. We can expect other gaming websites to share their gameplay experiences soon, giving us an even better idea of what to expect from this open-world racing game.

This Monday, Star Wars revealed a new poster for Star Wars: Maul — Shadow Lord, showcasing the character Devon Izara. The post on X highlighted that Izara is a unique Jedi, and fans are already enthusiastic about this new Twi’lek Jedi Padawan. You can see the poster below.

Thankfully, life after the defeat of Sauron isn’t as bleak as the war itself was for these characters. While the battles leave lasting effects, most of them find happiness and help build a brighter future for Middle-earth.

In a recent GamesIndustry.biz interview, the founders of Romero Games – who established their studio around 10 years ago – discussed the challenges the video game industry is currently experiencing. They shared how these difficulties have impacted their own studio, specifically their efforts to obtain funding and maintain operations.

Ahead of tomorrow’s full trailer reveal, A24 has shared a first glimpse at their new horror film, Backrooms. They released two teaser posters: one featuring Renate Reinsve peering around a doorway, and another showing Chiwetel Ejiofor looking up at something from below.

On his recent podcast, NateTheHate shared details about a project Square Enix hasn’t officially announced yet.

Fans of Mario might notice a change to his famous phrase, “mamma mia,” in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Chris Pratt explained to ScreenRant that the adjustment was made to better reflect his character’s background as an Italian-American from Brooklyn.

The main highlight of update 1.01.00 is the addition of five new mounts players can earn by completing certain challenges. These include three Legendary Animals – the White Bear, Silver Fang, and Snow White Deer – and two mounts from defeating bosses: the Rock Tusk Warthog and the Icicle Edge Alpine Ibex.

Sequels do happen, and they can be a mixed bag. While a second book should be even better than the first, building on the story in a great way, sometimes the final book in a series doesn’t quite live up to the middle installment – especially if that second book was amazing. This happens with popular series across different genres and eras. It’s still worth finishing the story, but just be aware that you might find yourself loving the second book the most.
