During the recent Xbox Two Podcast, reporter Jez Corden revealed that Ninja Theory, the developers behind the Hellblade series, are now working on a new installment. Corden stated that their previously announced game, Project: Mara, has been cancelled in favor of continuing the Hellblade saga. While details are limited, Corden expects this new game to be more focused on interactive gameplay than its predecessors. He also mentioned that the official title may not be Hellblade 3, but it will definitely be set in the same world.

While a movie being popular with audiences doesn’t always lead to awards recognition, Disney and Pixar haven’t been as dominant in recent years as they once were. Other studios have improved and are now often more innovative. The fact that KPop Demon Hunters won Best Animated Feature Film at the 2026 Golden Globes highlights this shift—it’s been four years since a Disney or Pixar film last won that award, with their last win being for Encanto in 2022, as detailed below.

If you’re excited about a potential new NieR game, a livestream is scheduled for February 20th to celebrate the series’ 9th anniversary. While many are hoping for a sequel announcement, there are currently no plans to reveal one during the stream.

A major issue with Anthem was that it didn’t suit the BioWare teams who were used to making single-player games. BioWare had built its reputation on offline titles like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, Jade Empire, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. While Mass Effect 3 had a fun co-op mode, it wasn’t central to what the studio was known for.

We’ve all made three predictions about the next year. Some are serious thoughts about the future of the industry, while others are simply hopes for games we’d love to play – but it’s all in good fun, really.

Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack, delivers Primal, a visually stunning animated series set in the earliest days of life on Earth. The show follows an unexpected friendship between a caveman and a dinosaur, both facing extinction. They connect through shared hardship and become each other’s only chance for survival as their world falls apart. Despite minimal dialogue, Primal is a powerfully emotional story about loss and the struggle to overcome devastating circumstances.

Horror fans have been waiting for a good scare, and it looks like one is finally coming! The first trailer for the new Mummy remake is here, and it’s generating a lot of excitement. Directed by Lee Cronin, who recently made Evil Dead Rise, and produced by James Wan, this Mummy looks very different from previous films – and that’s a good thing! It’s been a long wait, but the first glimpse of the movie is finally here.

It really pains me to say it, but some of these shows were truly incredible – genuine masterpieces, even. Despite not always getting the endings they deserved, I – and so many others – still adore them. They built such amazing worlds, filled with compelling characters and fascinating stories. There were even times when fans rallied so passionately that a show got another shot, but sadly, every single one of these brilliant sci-fi adventures was cut short before it could truly shine.

Scarlett Johansson has been a box office powerhouse for over two decades, starring in huge franchises like Marvel, Jurassic World, and animated hits like Sing and Disney’s The Jungle Book, as well as working with many of Hollywood’s most acclaimed directors – Woody Allen, Wes Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and others. However, she recently lost her title as the highest-grossing actor of all time – a distinction now held by a fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe star.

You only have a few days left to watch The Open House on Netflix. This 2018 horror film, starring Dylan Minnette from Scream, will be removed on January 19th.
