Ayo Davis, Disney Branded Television’s president, announced the film during the Television Critics Association’s Winter Press Tour.

Capcom will hold a gaming showcase on June 13th, the first of its kind from this company where we’ll hear more about the publisher’s various titles it has in the works. While no specific games have been confirmed for the lineup at this time, Dragon’s Dogma fans are already primed for a Dragon’s Dogma 2 announcement. Things like a new Dragon’s Dogma site which coincides with the 10th anniversary of the series helped bolster these speculations, but Capcom’s wording about its showcase should also serve as a warning that neither Dragon’s Dogma 2 nor any other new titles may show up during the event....

Cartoon Network offered their support of Percy Jackson star Leah Jeffries in a new post. Fans got news of a new trio consisting of the young actress, Aryan Simhadri and Walker Scobell this week. Predictably, there was some backlash in fandom spaces about her casting. Jeffries might not look how some members of this community thought Annabeth Chase should. The Warner Bros. fandom stepped in and offered their support to the actress....

Dr Disrespect may be teaming up with Nike in the near future. Dr Disrespect is one of the most personable content creators on the planet right now and has made quite a career off of being a mascot for a number of brands. The streamer wears a whacky outfit that takes inspiration from some kind of absurd 80s action hero, sporting a mullet, a thick mustache, and a rather ridiculous pair of sunglasses and puts on a wild, yet still charming persona....

Team USA has celebrated Katie Ledecky’s newest Gold Medal win with a fun Sailor Moon makeover as part of the Tokyo Olympics 2021 event. Although the event is proceeding in a much different way than Tokyo had originally hoped when they first started making plans for their turn hosting the world spanning competition (plans that included far more shout outs to anime and video games than actually came to pass), there’s still so much to love about the event for fans of anime as it’s not only made cameos, but Team USA went all out with special anime makeovers for their athletes....

In this edition of hard-hitting video game journalism, Overwatch 2 players are freaking out because of Tracer’s butt.

This past June I began having trouble walking & went to my surgeon....

With just over a week to go until the release of 20th Century Studios’ new movie Free Guy, Ryan Reynolds and Xbox have been pulling out all the stops to promote the film. In a new promo released today, Reynolds introduces “Bryan Breynolds” a personal injury attorney of dubious character that specializes in Xbox NPCs that have been injured during gameplay. The ad even features a testimonial from “Chips Dubbo,” a Halo NPC that was left with “serious lower back injuries” following an in-game explosion....

Stranger of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin was officially unveiled during Square Enix’s E3 2021 presentation, and a demo for the game was released that same day exclusively on the PlayStation 5.

Last week’s Monday Night Raw saw Bianca Belair confront Becky Lynch, this time over her once again escaping Crown Jewel as SmackDown Women’s Champion by cheating to beat Sasha Banks in a triple threat involving “The EST.” Lynch, now the Raw Women’s Champion following the recent (infamous) title exchange with Charlotte Flair, was called out for not being able to beat Belair in a straight-up match since her surprise return at SummerSlam....

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla features a lengthy campaign already, but Ubisoft is currently working on two large expansions for the game that were announced as part of its season pass. Along the way, we’ve also had small festivals hit Ravensthorpe, and with the announcement of the Ostara Festival, we learned that the first expansion, Wrath of the Druids, would hit on April 29th. Unfortunately, Ubisoft has revealed that the first expansion will no longer hit that date, and has been delayed to May 13th....

On Friday morning, a brand new update was made to Call of Duty: Warzone, and it’s one that’s likely to get a very mixed reaction from players. This update focused mainly on weapons, nerfing the power of quite a few guns from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The patch notes for the update, which were posted to Raven Software’s blog, were introduced by a note explaining how changes like these are made with the diversity of the game in mind....

Last week, PlayStation finally unveiled God of War Ragnarok for PS4 and PS5 giving PlayStation fans their first look at Kratos, Atreus, and other characters in the sequel, including Thor – a hammer-wielding god associated with lightning, strength, the protection of mankind, and fertility – who isn’t in the first game, but is teased. If you haven’t seen the game’s take on Thor, he looks nothing like Marvel’s Thor. In God of War Ragnarok, Thor has shaggy red hair and a large stomach that protrudes....

Henry Cavill is addressing all that relationship gossip with his latest post on Instagram. The Superman actor called for fans to tone down the toxic comments on social media. But he also wanted to make sure that the constant chatter about his love life wasn’t going to affect Natalie Viscuso.

Keith Lee made his surprise return to WWE television on this week’s Monday Night Raw, answering WWE Champion Bobby Lashley’s open challenge for a non-title match. Lee was last booked for a United States Championship match (then held by Lashley) at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in February but was pulled from the show due to an undisclosed injury. Since then Lee has repeatedly stated on Twitter that he would return but always stopped short of saying why he was no longer on TV....

For Lucifer fans, the sixth season of the beloved Netflix series was nothing short of a blessing. After being rescued when Fox canceled the series after three seasons, the fifth season was originally presented to be the last.

A new report about the PS5 has good news for owners of the latest Sony console, but bad news for PlayStation Plus subscribers on the console. Several months ago, we relayed that the PS5, like the PS4, had a CBOMB/CMOS issue that meant if the battery died on a PS5, users would lose the ability to not only play their digital games, but their physical games, in the hypothetical future where PSN servers are down, whether temporarily or permanently....
