Trailers have become a significant part of anticipation culture. These days, eager fans analyze every frame of any advance look at shows like Game of Thrones or movies like Avengers: Endgame. The Verge can help you find the latest trailers as they’re released — not just the biggest and most analysis-worthy sneak peaks, but teasers for promising indie films and streaming shows as well. Follow along for first-look sneak peaks at everything from Netflix’s latest releases to the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe film.
Hazelight is showing off its next co-op game Split Fiction with a fresh trailer, which includes a dramatic split-screen boss battle. It looks like there’s quite a bit going on in the game thanks to its “side stories” feature, which includes gameplay twists like waterskiing and cyberpunk chase sequences. Split Fiction launches pretty soon, hitting PlayStation, Xbox, and PC on March 6th.
As inspired as some of Blumhouse’s past horror features about deranged machines have been, Drop from writer / director Christopher Landon’s (Happy Death Day, Heart Eyes) really just kinda seems like it’s going to be about a serial killer menacing their victims via AirDrop. The movie’s out April 11th.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
