Predator: Badlands’ new trailer puts Yautja on the menu.

We knew Predator: Badlands was going to tell the story of an outcast Yautja forced to prove its worth by surviving on a planet full of monsters. But the movie’s latest trailer reveals that the Predator’s human-seeming companion Thia (Elle Fanning) is actually a Weyland-Yutani android, and the pair are going to find themselves fighting what appears to be... alien dinosaurs.

That ‘90s fighter you like is going to come back in style.

The first trailer for Mortal Kombat IIyes, there was a first one — is heavy on meta humor and, as you’d expect, on action. And it doesn’t look like it’s skimping on the gore. The good news is that the new movie will focus on the titular tournament when it hits theaters in October. Even better: Karl Urban is shaping up to be an excellent Johnny Cage.

What if Avatar was about beavers?

That certainly seems like the premise of Pixar’s next feature, Hoppers, where people can inhabit 3D-printed versions of animals and live amongst the real ones in the wild. It also has a bit of a Wild Robot vibe, which isn’t a bad thing. Hoppers hits theaters on March 6th, 2026.

MORTAL KOUNTDOWN.

A sequel to Warner Bros.’ 2021 Mortal Kombat movie (which you definitely remember) is hitting theaters on October 24th. And when the movie’s first trailer drops tomorrow, we’ll be able to see whether Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage and Tati Gabrielle’s Jade are something to get excited about.

Netflix previews more anime and games that are coming soon.

Beyond just the “coming soon” Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, this Anime Expo 2025 teaser from Netflix highlights other animated releases that are either new or continuing, like Sakamoto Days, Beastars, Leviathan, and Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, and the upcoming “cozy MMO,” Spirit Crossing, that’s part of its new plan for games.

Boys Go to Jupiter to get more ...isometric.

From director Julian Glander (Summer Camp Island), Boys Go to Jupiter revolves around Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) — a gig worker whose life is upended when he stumbles across an alien egg that hatches into a small creature he must take care of. The movie looks equal parts inspired, adorable, and like something worth checking out when it hits theaters on August 8th.

Verso and Astarion walk into a video game.

Dead Take, the next game from Tales of Kenzera developer Surgent Studios and the first game published under Palworld’s Pocketpair Publishing company, has revealed two of its stars...and you’ll probably recognize them.

In a new teaser for the game, video game voice acting it boys Ben Starr (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Final Fantasy XVI) and Neil Newbon (Resident Evil Village, Baldur’s Gate III), will star as two friends who have to work together to escape a hellish Hollywood mansion.

Things are heating up in Eddington, New Mexico.

Our first look at Ari Aster’s upcoming feature Eddington made it seem like a pandemic-era drama, but the film’s latest trailer makes it feel like it’s going to be more of a politically-charged thriller when it hits theaters on July 18th.

The MCU’s new Thing is a beardo.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ latest trailer features some cool new shots of the team using their powers to take on Galactus and the Silver Surfer, but its most surprising reveal is the fact that Ben Grimm can apparently grow a beard made out of his rock-like carapace.

Zen and the art of power washing.

If you’re of the rare homeowner set and even if you’re not there’s something powerfully attractive about a power washer. You point it at something dirty, pull the trigger, and it’s dirty no more (or if it’s glass, it is simply no more.)

It’s such millenial catnip that the developers at FuturLab have made a massive hit out of the relatively simple home improvement machine with Power Wash Simulator and it’s sequel Power Wash Simulator 2. Coming sometime this year, you can check out the PWS2’s new trailer below.

Apple has released a haptic F1 trailer enhanced with iPhone vibrations.

If you’ve got an iPhone running iOS 18.4 or later, the Apple TV Plus tab of the TV app now features a trailer for the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie that’s now enhanced with vibrations created by the modern iPhone’s Taptic Engine.

You can not only feel an F1 car’s engine revving, but subtler events in the trailer like the click of a seatbelt being fastened, and buttons being pressed on a steering wheel.

Riri Williams has been in the lab cooking.

The latest trailer for Marvel’s Ironheart Disney Plus series is (thankfully) light on plot details, but it’s chock full of snazzy shots of Riri Williams’ latest suit, which seems like it’s going to be able to channel magical energies when the show premieres on June 24th.

You merely adopted Mad World, I was born in it.

Gears of War: Reloaded will put the original Gears series in more hands than ever before. We already knew the game was coming to PS5 for the first time, along with cross-play and cross progression. We also knew the release date, August 26th. I guess Xbox didn’t really want anything, just to remind us it’s still here and coming soon.

Cronos is coming.

Bloober Team is having a great time. Silent Hill 2 released to rave reviews and the developer has another project in the works with Konami. The team also has an original project, Cronos: The New Dawn.
We got a new trailer for the game featuring a tone of gross, be-tentacled monsters and some timey wimey shenanigans. Still now firm release date, though, beyond fall 2025.

Why did it have to be giants?

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came out just last year and the folks at MachineGames have been busy. During the Xbox Games Showcase we got a glimpse at a new DLC campaign, The Order of Giants.

In the trailer, it looks like Indy will be investigating the origins of the Nephilim, the mysterious giant-like men sworn to protect the Great Circle. I hope the DLC means we’ll get the chance to see Tony Todd’s character for one last time.

Lies of Peak.

Lies of P, the Korean Soulslike based on the legend of Pinocchio is back with more puppet pounding action. Lies of P: Overture is a DLC expansion that delves into the history of Krat and gives you more opportunity to play around with a very pretty, very real boy. Even better, the DLC is out....right now.

Come along and build on a fantastic voyage.

At Summer Game Fest, Lego has revealed its next game: Lego Voyagers. It’s a co-op adventure game where two players will use Lego to build their way across beautiful bricked-up landscapes. It actually looked really sweet, like the perfect game to play with a young family member. The game will also feature the friend pass program where you and a buddy can play on one copy of the game.

Everyone is here.

While we’ve known about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for a while, at Summer Game Fest 2025 we got a better look at the racers and a release date. Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds launches on September 25th with crossplay and a roster that includes Hatsune Miku, Kazuma Kiryu from the Yakuza series, and the character that got the biggest cheer from the live SGF audience: Persona 5’s Joker.

A new challenger approaches.

Here’s the equation for a new fighting game. (Marvel vs. Capcom - Capcom) + Arc Systems Works = Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The developers of the Guilty Gear series have teamed up with Marvel to make a 4v4 tag team fighting game that harkens to the good ol’ days of Marvel vs. Capcom.

It’s got a 2026 launch window and is primed to take advantage of that brand new fight stick PlayStation just revealed.

The dad games will continue until morale improves.

PlayStation’s summer State of Play is going on right now and Capcom showed us a bit more of Pragmata, a game that looks like the developers crossed one of the Great America Dad Games like Bioshock Infinite or God of War with the slick hyper-realistic visuals of Stellar Blade. Not much of the gameplay was shown but we were given a 2026 launch window and introduced to our Elizabeth/Atreus analogue, an adorable little robot child named Diana.
