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.
Things don’t look good for the survivors in the first trailer for 28 Years Later sequel The Bone Temple, out January 16th. Danny Boyle only produced this one, with Nia DaCosta (Candyman, The Marvels) helming instead, given the dubious honor of bringing a Jimmy Savile-themed gang to vicious life.
If last year’s Silent Hill 2 remake wasn’t enough, here’s an early look at the upcoming film adaptation. The trailer is short, but does include a look at our old friend Pyramid Head. It hits theaters on January 23rd, which should be enough time to play Silent Hill F beforehand.
To commemorate the 10 year anniversary of his 2015 action / epic Baahubali: The Beginning, S. S. Rajamouli is releasing a new five-and-a-half-hour-long version of the film that combines it with its 2017 sequel, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. The new movie, Baahubali: The Epic, hits theaters on October 31st.
Blizzard released the new cinematic for World of Warcraft: Midnight, the MMORPG’s eleventh expansion and the second in its World Soul expansion trilogy. In the trailer, the blood elves are besieged by Xal’atath, the villain who’s been kicking around since The War Within. Twenty years on and still nobody can make cinematics like Blizzard does.
Geoff brought out members of the cast and crew of Prime Video’s Fallout TV show to debut the teaser for season 2. (Although, the Ghoul’s Walton Goggins apparently couldn’t make it.) New Vegas looks slick both in its pre-war days and after the bombs fell and we’ll see more of the city and the show when season two premiers December 17th.
Sony’s finally ready to show off the fruits of its investment in FromSoftware’s parent company Kadokawa with a new anime project. Announced at Opening Night Live, Sekiro: No Defeat is an anime show that will cover the events of the game and debuts exclusively on Crunchyroll in 2026.
As part of a One Piece Day event in Tokyo, Netflix shared a teaser for season two and the news that production on season three will start in South Africa later this year. One Piece season two will stream on Netflix in 2026 — here’s our review of season one.
Content Warning was one of the games featured during the Nintendo Indie World presentation, coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch 2 next year. In the game, you and three friends journey underwater to film spooky goings-on in order to go viral, but there’s a catch. You might die...horribly.
Content Warning blew up on Steam joining the likes of similar co-op chaos games including Phasmophobia and Lethal Company. The game will make extensive use of the Switch 2 gamechat features and I hope there’s a setting where, if you’re using a camera, you can put your friends actual faces on their avatars. We’ll see if my wish comes true when Content Warning launches next year.
During Nintendo’s Indie World showcase, we got a bunch of games coming out in the nearterm, like Herdling, out on August 21st. There are also games coming out in the nebulous future of 2026 like Neverway. But there were some games featured that are just coming out today like Is This Seat Taken?
Is This Seat Taken? is a cozy puzzle game where you arrange people according to their preferences. A set of clues tells you who likes what, and its your job to put them in the most appropriate place like the world’s most powerful wedding planner. And best of all, the game launches today on Nintendo Switch.
UFO 50 is the game that dares to ask, “What if there was one game, but in it, there were also 50 games?” And on top of those 50 individual games (that are not mere minigames) you got an overarching narrative about the lifecycle of a fictional console?
That’s UFO 50. Each game represents the journey of the hardware and you get to see how the technology and development skills develop over time just like they do across a real console’s lifetime. And what if I told you that you could play this collection of 50 games on the Switch today? Because you can.
In the thick of the Indie World presentation and I can’t help but be powerfully intrigued by Well Dweller. Well Dweller, created by the developer of Crypt Custodian and Islets, is a metroidvania (or search action game, if you like) with an interesting artstyle.
You play as a bird with a matchstick, sent out to save her species from an evil and queen and seeing all the platforming and progression unlocking weapons, I think this is the kind of game I’m looking for right now. But unfortunately, I’ll have to wait for its release sometime next year.
During the Nintendo Indie World showcase, Mina The Hollower was announced for the Nintendo Switch. Earlier this year the game got a notoriety boost with a demo being featured during Steam Next Fest. And the retro-style, A Link To The Past-looking game featuring a very cute sword-swinging mouse also has a demo out now on the Switch. Not too long to wait now, Mina the Hollower comes out on Switch and PC October 31st.
Looking at Kirby makes me happy, and with this new trailer for — and brace yourself it’s a doozy of a name — Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, I couldn’t be happier. My favorite pink blobby boy is getting some new adventures with the game’s starry stages that let Kirby explore previously blocked off areas.
He’ll also get new mouthful mode shapes including a spring that lets him jump, a gear mode that lets him scale walls, and a sign shape that doesn’t advertise his favorite foods, but lets him slide around on snow and other flat surfaces.
In A24’s Highest 2 Lowest — a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low — Denzel Washington plays a music mogul (rather than a show company exec) whose son (Aubrey Joseph) is being held for ransom. The movie’s new trailer doesn’t spoil much of the plot, but it does make it seem like Highest 2 is going to be a tense watch when it hits theaters on August 5th and Apple TV Plus on September 5th.
The next Spider-Man movie from Sony Pictures is currently scheduled for release a year from now, on July 31st, 2026, to kick off a new trilogy of Holland-led movies in the MCU five years after the last entry, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Now, Sony has posted the briefest teaser trailer possible for Spider-Man Day, celebrating textiles.
In director Uta Briesewitz’s upcoming thriller American Sweatshop, a social media content moderator (Lili Reinhart) can’t move on from a gruesome murder she’s forced to watch as part of her job. The movie’s trailer makes it look like a smart way to focus on the real horrors people have to endure to keep the internet running, which might make it a surprise hit when it hits theaters on September 19th.
The new show from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg hasn’t actually premiered yet — it starts streaming on August 22nd — but Netflix has already confirmed it’ll be getting a second season. In the meantime, you can check out this new trailer that sets up the time-jumping family story.
Square Enix closed out today’s Nintendo Switch 2 partner showcase with a game that features names liable to send you into fits of confused laughter. Launching next year, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an HD-2D action RPG with a silly but acceptable name. (Elliot? Really?)
But Philabieldia, the name for where the story takes place, is truly one of the most ridiculous fantasy names I’ve ever heard. Philabieldia, wow. You know what, I’m in. The ridiculous name signals to me this is the exact kind of high-fantasy, low-stakes silliness I enjoy in not-Final Fantasy Square Enix games.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the hack-and-slash-style spinoff of the Legend of Zelda series, covers the canonical events that led to Tears of the Kingdom. Most importantly, the game covers what Princess Zelda was up to hanging out in the past with the very handsome Goat King of Hyrule.
Frustratingly, there’s still no release date, with Nintendo sharing that the game will release some time “this winter.” Regardless, I’m looking forward to beating the bacon off an army of bokoblins.
Persona 3 Reload, the remake of Atlus’ Persona 3, is coming to the Switch 2 October 23rd. The game released last year to rave reviews on PC, PS5, and Xbox. Now, Atlus is finally ready to release the game on the Switch 2, because why should the other consoles get all the devil-summoning fun?
To start off today’s Nintendo Direct partner showcase, Capcom showed off the latest entry in the Monster Hunter Stories series. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is coming to the Switch 2 next year.
Try as I might, I can’t get into the mainline Monster Hunter games. Since Monster Hunter Stories are more structured, turn-based RPGs where I’m riding the monsters instead of trying to fight them all the time, I might have to give this one a try when it comes out in 2026 and see if it finally sticks.
Drag x Drive, the Switch 2’s 3-v-3 wheelchair basketball game, is coming out next month and Nintendo has shared a new trailer. The game, the first exclusive to make extensive use of the Switch 2’s mouse controls, will test more than just your hoopin’ skills.
The trailer showed off a ton of other things you can do like wheelchair races, skills challenges, and more. You can also create pick-up games with your friends, customize your player and their wheels, or practice against the computer when Drag x Drive comes out August 14th.
Larry (Miles Teller) needs a few beats to figure out that he’s dead in the new trailer for director David Freyne’s metaphysical romcom Eternity. But once he does, Larry realizes that he has to figure out a way to convince his recently-deceased wife Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) to spend the afterlife with him rather than her first husband Luke (Callum Turner). No firm release date just yet, but the film’s out this November.
Train Dreams, which was one of my favorite films at the festival this year, is streaming on November 21st, and will also be coming to select theaters this fall. It’s an understated and heartbreaking movie about coping with loss and change, telling a story that spans a single lifetime and is buoyed by some incredible performances from Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones. You can get a feel for it in the new trailer below.
Pokémon Concierge, the adorable stop motion Netflix series, launches its second season very soon. The show, about hospitality worker at a resort exclusively for ‘mon and their humans, returns with new episodes September 4th. The announcement came during today’s Pokémon Direct and included a brand new trailer featuring all the new poké-friends you’ll make.
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.
The first trailer for Mortal Kombat II — yes, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
