Trailers

I’ve been, uh, waiting for this game ever since seeing at Day of the Devs last year, and now While Waiting finally has a release date: it’s hitting the Switch and Steam on February 5th.

It remains to be seen what director David F. Sandberg’s Until Dawn movie adaptation will do to set itself apart from time looping slashers, but in this new featurette, he breaks down how expanding on the game’s universe was one of his bigger goals.

While Richter Belmont and his allies absolutely dogwalked Erzsebet Báthory last time they fought, the vampire messiah looks like she’s coming back with a vengeance in the latest trailer for Castlevania: Nocturne’s upcoming second season.

I know we’re all thinking about the Switch 2, but Nintendo isn’t quite done with its current console. The company just released a new trailer for the Switch remaster of Xenoblade Chronicles X, a sprawling open world RPG that I loved when it originally hit the Wii U. The new version launches on March 20th.

Rabbits My Melody and Kuromi have been fixtures in Hello Kitty’s life for a few decades now, and today Netflix and Sanrio announced that the pair are set to be the stars of their own stop-motion animated series due out some time this July.

Unfortunately, we’ll never fully know what kind of Resident Evil movie George Romero could have made if talks about his proposed adaptation hadn’t collapsed in the late 90s. But George Romero’s Resident Evil — Brandon Salisbury’s new documentary about the failed project — is a deep dive into what could have been.

Everyone is still a bit mesmerized by the horrific beauty of Count Orlok in Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, but this new behind-the-scenes look at Universal’s Wolf Man makes it seem like there might be another monster folks are thirsting for when the movie hits theaters on January 17th.

De Niro plays a former President called in to investigate a cyberattack that resulted in plane crashes, train derailments, and thousands of deaths in the limited series, premiering February 20th on Netflix.

Netflix has released another trailer for The Electric State, a live-action film that looks like a slightly goofier take on artist Simon Stålenhag’s retrofuturistic book. This time the clip dives deep into the robot war that created its post-apocalyptic future. Directed by the Russo brothers, the movie starts streaming on March 14th.

The third season of the HBO series starts streaming on February 16th, and will shift the setting to Thailand. It also introduces a whole new cast including the likes of Leslie Bibb and Walton Goggins.

In a sensible world, studios would just post trailers rather than appointment viewing events that need grand proclamations about their imminent arrival. But we live here and DC Studios wants you to know that the trailer for James Gunn’s Superman is dropping this Thursday.

This time it’s Lionel Messi, who joins the likes of former teammate Neymar, other athletes like Naomi Osaka and LeBron James, and musicians ranging from Billie Eilish to Snoop Dogg as playable characters. He’ll be available in the item shop starting at 7PM ET tonight.

During The Game Awards 2024, Mafia: The Old Country, debuted a new trailer. The game, launching in summer 2025, will get into one family’s struggle in La Cosa Nostra in 1900s Sicily to the delight (or potential dismay) of mobsters everywhere. RIP Paulie Walnuts, maybe this would have been a better “Old Country” experience than the one you had.

They just announced Stage Fright, another co-op experience that takes things in a spookier direction. (It’ll support both online play and couch co-op when it launches.) The game is also being published by No Man’s Sky maker Hello Games.

Tekken 8 is getting a new fighter. On December 16th, Clive Rosfield of Final Fantasy XVI will become the second ever Final Fantasy character to enter the King of Iron Fist Tournament. He, along with a FF16-themed stage will join Tekken 8 as a part of its winter update. It’s no Waffle House (or Tifa Lockhart for that matter) but I’ll take it.

Capcom is returning to a favorite, with the next entry in the action series subtitled Way of the Sword. It’s still a while out though — the game doesn’t launch until 2026.

The next major update for Helldivers 2 has a big focus on vehicles. It’s also out now.

The next entry in the fighting game series is being developed by Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio, the team behind the Yakuza and Like a Dragon franchises. It still sounds early though, as there is no release date, platforms, or even a final name.

Obsidian showed off a new glimpse at its sci-fi RPG, which is due out at some point in 2025.

The legendary creator of Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian teased a new project that doesn’t currently have a name, but sure looks as gorgeous and melancholy as you’d expect from the designer.

Sloclap, the studio behind martial arts action games Sifu and Absolver, has debuted its new game which is very much nothing like either of those. Rematch is an online multiplayer 5v5 soccer game with emphasis on what the developers call, “skill-based gameplay.” Wonder if they’ll include a special “rest of the world” setting to call the game “football”.

If you can believe it, that’s the tagline for the next Pac-Man game, which is a gritty reboot of the arcade classic. Then again, if you watched Secret Level on Prime Video, it actually makes perfect sense.
