Even though it’s already out in Japan, Studio Ghibli’s new film (also known as How Do You Live) is wrapped in mystery. There are no trailers or interviews with director Hayao Miyazaki to pore over. But now we have a small taste via a quartet of images from Fandango — and I have to admit, the birds are a lot scarier than I imagined.

But, like, in a good way. The publisher behind games like Untitled Goose Game and the adorable Playdate handheld is holding a showcase event later this month that will include “a look at new unannounced titles, game development partnership announcements, and behind-the-scenes looks at the creation of those cool games.” Maybe the goose will finally get a title.

Seriously, there’s a lot: Futurama is back on Hulu, The Witcher’s third season wrapped up on Netflix, Good Omens season 2 is on Prime Video, Secret Invasion’s first season is up on Disney Plus, and Twisted Metal made its debut on Peacock.

So here’s a screenshot from the video game Fortnite, in which Bender from Futurama is riding a raptor, wielding a rifle, and hunting humans in a jungle.

We still don’t know when, exactly, the next Studio Ghibli film will be available to wider audiences outside of Japan. But if you happen to be going to TIFF, The Boy and the Heron — also known as How Do You Live — will be kicking off the show on September 7th. Of course, The Verge will also be at TIFF, so stay tuned for our coverage of Hayao Miyazaki’s latest as well as the rest of the festival lineup.

Season 3 of The Morning Show starts streaming on Apple TV Plus on September 13th, and the first trailer promises that things are going to be very dramatic when it premieres.
