Remember that sad Tears of the Kingdom commercial about a middle aged man escaping the dreariness of everyday life by venturing out into Hyrule? Well, he’s back, though this time he’s not quite so lonely. Seems that the Ultrahand can fix anything, even relationships.
The annual League of Legends World Championship kicks off soon and, as is tradition, we have a new song to celebrate. This year’s track is performed by K-pop group NewJeans, and it’s an appropriately dramatic affair, complete with an animated video featuring iconic League pros like Faker and Deft fighting it out on virtual battlefield. If nothing else, the song should make for an exciting opening ceremony.
If you missed the stunning stage version of Spirited Away when it was in theaters earlier this year, you can bring it home pretty soon: it’ll be available on-demand on October 24th and on Blu-Ray on November 14th. This year is turning out to be a pretty solid one for Studio Ghibli fans.
But in an intentional way. The action legend’s next film is called Silent Night, a Christmas Eve revenge story that also happens to be mostly dialogue-free, so the title works on two levels. It hits theaters on December 1st.
There are far too many video games launching in October, as my colleague Ash has helpfully pointed out here. It’ll be impossible to play everything. Which raises the important question: what are you going to be spending time with this month? I know I’ll be digging into Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Spider-Man 2 (which come out on the exact same day!!), but I’m also pretty curious about the new Hellboy game. How about you?
Lionel Messi may not be playing much lately, but the Apple TV Plus promotional machine keeps chugging along. Today we have the first trailer for Messi Meets America, a six-part docuseries about the Argentina superstar’s arrival in MLS — which has been a big deal for Apple’s ambitions as a streamer. The show premieres on October 11th.
