The initial trailer for Maul – Shadow Lord showcases a unique animation style for Lucasfilm. It’s visually impressive and introduces a Star Wars adventure set during the dark times of the Empire, where Maul tries to rebuild his criminal empire. While we know this story eventually leads to the downfall of his Crimson Dawn organization (as seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story and later Star Wars Rebels), the trailer promises an exciting and authentically *Star Warsstyle experience.

The hero shooter market is becoming increasingly crowded, especially with new games like Highguard expected in 2026. This growth comes after some disappointments with titles like Overwatch 2, and many hero shooters struggle to find lasting success. Games like Battleborn and Paladins haven’t been able to build large player communities, often because their characters aren’t compelling enough or other aspects of the game detract from the core shooting experience.

Ralph Fulton, the director of the upcoming game Fable, recently shared with IGN that the game will feature 1,000 NPCs, each with unique voice acting and the potential to become your spouse. This is an incredibly ambitious feature, setting Fable apart from other games. What’s especially interesting is that successfully romancing an NPC won’t just depend on your character’s charm – your choices and moral standing, and how you behave in the game world, will greatly influence who will accept your advances.

It’s become common for heroes to become villains, even if just for a short time. Many of our favorite heroes have, at some point, strayed into villainous territory. While these turns to the dark side are usually temporary, sometimes they last a long time. We’ve already explored ten Avengers who became villains, and now we’re going to look at seven more heroes who gave in to evil. Let’s dive into the stories of Avengers who sought revenge.

The company, currently facing significant difficulties with falling stock prices, has reportedly cancelled the Watch Dogs franchise after the disappointing performance of its latest game, Watch Dogs Legion.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is due out for Switch this spring.

Here is a message from Producer Tomohiko Sho on the delay:

Another State of Play presentation in February isn’t unexpected, as one happened around the same time last year. The recent nearly 47-minute showcase mainly highlighted games from other developers, such as Tides of Annihilation, Borderlands 4, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, and Monster Hunter Wilds. It also featured several PlayStation exclusives, including Lost Soul Aside, Days Gone Remastered, and Saros.

Industry insider Daniel Richtman reports that the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie will include more villains than we currently know about. While it’s wise to be cautious with rumors like these—Richtman didn’t specify who these villains are—the film’s title, Brand New Day, suggests a significant reset for Spider-Man. This new beginning, where the world has forgotten Peter Parker’s secret identity, gives Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures plenty of opportunities to introduce iconic villains from the comics.

In Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess, Sofia’s life changes when her mother marries the King, turning her from a regular girl into a princess. She attends the Royal Training Academy, where three fairies teach her that while appearing like a princess is easy, truly being a princess comes from kindness and good character.
