The new teaser for the FX spinoff series Alien: Earth doesn’t show a whole lot, but does confirm that the show will premiere in the summer of 2025. Oh, and in 2120 the xenomorphs are still very shiny.

No animated classic is safe. Next up: How To Train Your Dragon.
Apple has revealed the first look at its upcoming comedy The Studio, which stars Seth Rogen as a budding film studio head. While the show looks full of delightful disasters, perhaps more impressive is the cast which includes the likes of Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, and Bryan Cranston. It starts streaming on March 26th.
Ratatan doesn’t just look and sound like Patapon, it even has Hiroyuki Kotani, the designer of the PSP original, working on it.
Oh, and it’s a four-player co-op roguelike? Okay, that’s it — I’m dead. Someone please res me when this launches in 2025.
Half-Life 2 will be 20 years-old on November 16th, and Nvidia’s new trailer for its Half-Life 2 RTX project is part visual showcase, part tribute — with testimonials from the remake’s lead developers at Obifold Studios.
Half-Life 2 RTX now has a Steam store page, where it’s listed as “Coming soon.”
Firewalk Studios’ Concord may no longer be with us, but the game is still going to have another (short) moment in the sun when Amazon’s Secret Level anthology series premieres on December 10th.
A24 has released another trailer for Y2K, a slasher movie set on New Years Eve 1999. The clip shows a bit more of the household appliances that have turned into killers and, also, there’s a musical remix featuring Bill Clinton. The movie hits theaters on December 6th.
The Nintendo Switch is going out with a bang.
I’d say some bangers, too, after hearing the catchy sea shanty from this new trailer for Mario & Luigi: Brothership, which will add to the Switch’s pleasingly robust Mario RPG catalog.
Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered is out today on PC and PS5, but like previous games in the series, its release has been overshadowed the launch of another, more anticipated game. Horizon’s original release in 2017 got obliterated by Breath of the Wild. Then, Horizon Forbidden West launched the same week as Elden Ring. This time, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, also launching today, is the specter looming on Horizon’s shoulder.

Unknown World’s spooky-ass ocean game is getting a direct sequel. Subnautica 2 debuted during today’s Xbox partner preview. Judging by the announcement trailer, the game is, once again, making a strong case for why we don’t belong in the ocean. Not ours, and especially not an alien planet’s.
Even after watching the trailer for Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii during Xbox’s partner preview, I still have no idea why Majima Goro, the best character in the Yakuza series, is a pirate and honestly, I don’t care. It’s Majima Goro in a pirate hat, commanding a customizable pirate ship, and engaging in naval warfare. Some things don’t need explanations.
During the Xbox partner preview, Bloober Team showed off its next game, Cronos: The New Dawn. During the trailer, one moment features individual kitted out in astronaut gear, exploring a dilapidated house overrun by monsters. And in the next, they’re playing an increasingly bloody game of chess with a sweet old lady who is definitely hiding a secret. Cronos: The New Dawn is set to release in 2025.
It’s one thing for Netflix to split Arcane’s upcoming final season into a three-part event, but the streamer has some nerve to keep dropping these banger trailers so close to the show’s return next month.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launches spring 2025 and is an action RPG that looks like if Persona’s turn-based combat got mashed together with high-quality visuals you’d see from Naughty Dog or Sony Santa Monica. But what’s really impressive is the newly revealed cast, boasting the voice talents of Ben Starr, Charlie Cox, and holy precious is that Andy Serkis??!! Whatever this game is, I’m in.
It’s been a good long while since Wallace and his good friend Gromit help put noted criminal Feathers McGraw in jail at the end of Aardman’s The Wrong Trousers. But in the new trailer for Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl — out January 3, 2025 — the villanous penguin seems to finally be free from his lengthy imprisonment and dead set on striking back at the rubes who put him away.

The show hits Netflix on December 5th.

The company just opened a museum, launched Echoes of Wisdom and an alarm clock, and a new Mario Party is out next week.

Fortnite’s Halloween event kicks off on October 11th, and it will add Jigsaw to the battle royale lineup. He should feel right at home in a squad with pop stars and Disney characters.
