    So happy (?) together.

    Fair warning: the new trailer for Michael Shanks’ Together may only be two minutes long, but it’s full of body horror moments that will stick with you. The movie hits theaters on July 30th.

    When 10 billion pixels isn’t enough.

    How about 108 billion instead? Following up the previous 10 gigapixel scan of Johannes Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring painting is a new version that ups the resolution significantly, while also letting you explore the art in 3D. It’s so big there’s even a minimap to help you navigate.

    Not long now.

    Long Story Short, the new animated series from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg has a premiere date: it’ll be streaming on Netflix on August 22nd. The series follows the story of a single family, but jumps around in time, letting you “follow the Schwooper siblings from childhood to adulthood and back again.” You can get a first glimpse at it in these images.

    The gang is back together.

    Here’s the first, very brief, teaser for Highest 2 Lowest, which has Denzel Washington and Spike Lee working together once again. The thriller is a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low, only set in New York in the present, and it also stars Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky. It hits theaters on August 22nd before streaming on Apple TV Plus on September 5th.

    Nightreign, explained.

    If you’re still unsure just what the deal is with the multiplayer spinoff of Elden Ring, Bandai Namco just put out a 10-minute-long overview trailer that does a good job of summing up what exactly you’ll be doing in the game, covering combat, enemies, gear, and your home base, among other details. And it’s right on time: Nightreign launches on May 30th.

    BOF on GOG.

    As part of its relatively new preservation program, GOG has just added Capcom’s classic PlayStation-era RPG Breath of Fire IV to its digital PC games shop. The new version features both English and Japanese localizations, some visual improvements, and support for modern controllers. You can grab it right here.

    This new Pokémon merch is trash (complimentary).

    As Siliconera points out, the Pokémon Center in Japan just released a batch of fun household goods, ranging from a Bulbasaur planter to a Mimikyu mirror. My favorite, though, is this garbage can that actually makes Trubbish seem useful.
