The Game Developers Conference kicks off next month, and once again Epic will be holding its State of Unreal keynote. Last year the company showed off more of its metahumans, the Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and more; afterwards I had a nice, long chat with Tim Sweeney about the metaverse. You’ll be able to watch the keynote on March 20th on both Twitch and YouTube.
The horror movie sequel has been delayed by a few months, and will now come out on May 16th, 2025 (it was previously slated for a January premiere). Hopefully that’s enough time to work out whatever murderous bugs are afflicting the AI bot. I’m sure things will go much smoother this time around.
Nintendo just dropped a new trailer for Princess Peach: Showtime, and it includes four new versions of the Mushroom Kingdom royal: mermaid, figure skater, thief, and superhero. Basically, she has range, and the game looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun as Nintendo continues to send off the original Switch on a high note. Showtime launches on March 22nd.
One of my favorite movies at TIFF last year was The Beast, an era-spanning romance starring Léa Seydoux and George MacKay as star-crossed lovers who keep meeting in different time periods, one of which is a near-future dystopia in which AI runs basically every facet of human life. It’s coming to theaters in select cities on April 5th.
The latest trailer for Netflix’s Damsel has dangerous dragons, elaborate fantasy costumes, and Millie Bobby Brown getting tossed off a bridge. Which is to say: it looks like a blast. And the movie starts streaming pretty soon, hitting Netflix on March 8th.
The game is getting a big TMNT update today, where players can unlock this excellent Krang back bling by completing some missions. There’s also a new mini battle pass that nets you Shredder if you purchase it, and some turtle-themed gameplay additions including, obviously, restorative pizza. Check out the full details here.
