Napoleon: The Director’s Cut has invaded Apple TV Plus.

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.

Kiryu-chaaaaan ~ !

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.

Yes, that’s Civilization 7 on 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.

Megalopolis’ new trailer is gunning for the haters.

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.

Update: Lionsgate has removed the trailer, saying it “screwed up,” after people called out the quotes for being made up or misattributed.

One more thing.

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.

Peter Molyneux returns to god games.

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.

Rivalry is so dated.

Bloom & Rage and a mystery.

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.

The goat is back.

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.

Netflix’s Lara Croft can throw a punch.

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.

Hades looks like a drag in Netflix’s Kaos.

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.

There’s a new Elder Scrolls game coming soon.

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.

The Elder Scrolls: Castles launches on iOS and Android on September 10th.

Kraven has got a taste for Rhino meat.

Though Sony’s upcoming Kraven the Hunter feature probably won’t feature any Spider-Man cameos, the movie’s latest trailer is a reminder that at the very least, we’ll be seeing another Rhino variant when the movie hits theaters on December 13th.

There are two Wolfs inside you, and they’re both trying to hide a body.

Wolfs — Apple’s upcoming comedy about a pair of fixers forced to become partners — actually sounds like a pretty solid movie. And its latest trailer almost makes it easy to understand why a sequel has already been greenlit ahead of Wolfs’ theatrical release on September 20th and Apple TV Plus streaming debut on September 27th.

Snow White is going to get herself poisoned.

If Rachel Zegler’s live-action Snow White wasn’t so busy humming and whistling while she worked in the film’s new trailer, she might notice that Gal Gadot’s Evil Queen is clearly trying to poison her.

Agatha’s on the (witches’) road.

Even though Marvel’s Agatha All Along Disney Plus series is going to be something of a comedy, its latest trailer is big on witchy vibes that’ll be perfect for its September 18th two-episode premiere.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew looks like space Goonies in first trailer.

We knew Disney Plus’ new Star Wars: Skeleton Crew series (out December 3rd) would feature Jude Law as clever Force user, but the show’s first trailer is all about the kids getting into Goonies-style space mischief.

LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy opens up a multiverse of possibilities.

A multiverse kinda feels like the last thing Star Wars needs right now, but the first trailer for Disney Plus’ LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy mini(fig)series actually makes its premise seem like the rare modern Luke Skywalker story that might liven up the franchise when it premieres on September 13th.

Alfonso Cuarón’s Disclaimer hits Apple TV Plus October 11th.

A journalist discovers a novel in which she appears to be the main character and all of her dark secrets are laid bare. The first trailer for the Apple TV Plus series based on Renée Knight’s book doesn’t spell out what those secrets are, but hopefully it’s better than the last time Apple tried a similar concept.
