Trailers

Woman of the Hour — Anna Kendrick’s directorial debut inspired by serial killer Rodney Alcala’s 1978 appearance on The Dating Game — was one of the most intriguing films to premiere at TIFF in 2023. And it’s finally making its way to Netflix on October 18th.

We’re only a few weeks away from the launch of Shattered Space, the first story expansion for the sci-fi RPG, which Bethesda describes as a “completely handcrafted world.” You can get a better sense of what to expect in this lengthy video.

The Remarkable Life of Ibelin was one of my favorite movies at Sundance this year. It’s a doc that tells the story of a tragically short life, and the film largely takes place inside World of Warcraft. You can watch it for yourself on Netflix on October 25th.

Venom: The Last Dance will see Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and his symbiote life partner defend the world from a full-on alien invasion. But the might not stand a chance against Knull, who makes a very surprising appearance in the movie’s final trailer.

With its second (and final) season set to be released sometime this November, the new trailer dives deeper into the escalating conflict between the cities of Piltover and Zaun, and the sisters Vi and Jinx fighting on either side.

Ridley Scott’s Napoleon was already huge (runtime-wise) when it hit Apple TV Plus back in March, but with “48 minutes of new, never-before-seen footage,” the new Director’s Cut that has just hit the streamer (right on time for Labor Day weekend) is even bigger.

That sound you heard was Goro Majima from Yakuza Kiwami, the final game on display during today’s Nintendo Partner Showcase. Yakuza Kiwami is a remake of the first Yakuza game and it’s finally making its Nintendo Switch debut October 24th. Hopefully, the game does well enough that we will get the rest of the stellar series ported over to the Switch.

Civilization 7 will be everywhere, including the Nintendo Switch. During today’s Indie World / Partner Showcase, Firaxis showed off what Civ 7 will look like on the Nintendo Switch. Expect the same gameplay that will let you mix and match your civs and leaders and change civs as you go through history, but maybe temper your expectations on graphics. Civilization 7 launches on console, PC, and Mac February 11th.

Hot on the heels of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, Capcom’s gone back in their impressive-ass vault to pull out another collection of classic fighting games. Capcom Fighting Collection 2 bundles together eight games including Capcom vs. SNK, its sequel, both Power Stone games, and more. No release date yet, but expect the game to come out sometime 2025.

Megalopolis’ latest trailer makes it even harder to get a good read of what to expect from the film, but it’s worth it just for Lionsgate’s selection of quotes about Francis Ford Coppola’s previous work.

ONL ended with a very brief tease for the Mafia: the Old Country, which is set in 1900s Sicily and will “uncover the origins of organized crime.” It launches some time in 2025.

After some, let’s say, detours, the veteran designer and his 22cans studio have revealed a more traditional strategy game called Masters of Albion, which at the very least has some cool interface ideas. Here’s the first trailer.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is the next entry in the Batman: Arkham series but with a twist...it’s in VR. Camouflaj, the studio known for another superhero VR experience, Iron Man VR, debuted the first gameplay trailer during Opening Night Live 2024. Arkham Shadow will be a full-length, VR game launching exclusively on the Meta Quest 3 sometime in October.

And by that, I mean, of course, that the Overwatch-like multiplayer game Marvel Rivals finally has a release date. It’ll be hitting PC, Xbox, and PlayStation on December 6th.

It’s been years since the game was first revealed, and now we not only have a first look, but also news that MV3 will be launching on December 10th — exclusively on Netflix. The first two games in the series, meanwhile, will hit Netflix in September and October.

While it doesn’t come out until next year, Capcom continues to show off the next big Monster Hunter game, with a new trailer featuring a very creepy giant spider that players will need to take down.

We finally have a release window for the survival game Dune: Awakening, which is going to make me do terrible, terrible things when it launches. In the meantime, check out this new gameplay trailer.

The new trailer for Lost Records — the next release from Life is Strange studio Don’t Nod — looks all heartwarming and cozy, until it becomes very clear there’s a dark secret at its core. The game’s first episode launches on February 18th, with another a month later.

One of the strangest games of the past decade is getting remastered. The updated version of Goat Simulator, which first launched back in 2014, will include all of the game’s DLCs, along with new visuals and some quality-of-life tweaks. It’s launching later this year.

Ahead of the next Call of Duty’s debut in October, Activision has provided yet another trailer for the game, this time walking viewers through a campaign mission full of trademark Call of Duty action set pieces. For those who haven’t been keeping track: the shooter will be coming to Game Pass and might even have a reasonable download size.

Though there will be plenty of treasure hunting in Netflix’s Tomb Raider animated series, its latest trailer puts the focus on big action set pieces and Lara Croft’s brawling chops.

Mortals will die in Netflix’s Kaos as the greek gods lash out at humanity for their lack of faith, but the series’ latest trailer kinda makes hades look more like a monochromatic drag than a tortuous hellscape.

But it’s not Elder Scrolls VI. Instead, Bethesda’s sword and board series is getting its own version of Fallout Shelter called The Elder Scrolls: Castles. You’ll be tasked with building the perfect medieval domicile with all the amenities to keep your subjects happy, healthy, and therefore, less likely to stab you.
