Jack Black to Star as Steve in Minecraft Movie | Push Square

Minecraft's long-in-the-works movie adaptation continues to pick up steam, with the news White Lotus star Jennifer Coolidge has now joined its cast.

PlayStation exclusive shooter Foamstars will feature AI-generated artwork, Square Enix has confirmed, with Foamstars producer Kosuke Okatani clarifying to VGC that «in terms of the content of the game, this makes up about 0.01% or even less.» 

Whether we want to admit it or not, now that there has been a string of video game adaptation successes in both the movie and TV scape, there are going to be legions more made based on some of the most popular and best-selling franchises in the world. Why? Because since a certain film with Mario made a billion dollars, and the tale of Joel and Ellie was nominated for dozens of awards, people “up top” want to see how much they can bank on this. And that brings us to the Minecraft Movie, which is absolutely something that is being made right now.

Din Djarin and his tiny green companion are heading to the big screen. Lucasfilm announced a new Star Wars movie on Tuesday called The Mandalorian & Grogu. The film is set to begin production in 2024, which could mean a release date in 2025 or 2026.

Looks like Jack Black just can't keep away from those videogame movie adaptations, because he's the latest star to be cast in the live action Minecraft movie.

Welcome to 2024! The time for ponderous Christmas reflection is over, as we reset ahead of what looks to be another action-packed year. The coming months are especially outrageous for PS5: January alone will play host to the likes of Tekken 8 and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth – two titles which are looking utterly essential, and will likely be Game of the Year contenders come the end of December.

In unsurprising news, publisher Square Enix has announced a bold new vision for the company in 2024, again promising to chase whatever the hottest speculative technology on the market happens to be. President Takashi Kiryu rang in the new year with a bold directive, confirming the firm will be «aggressive in applying AI and other cutting-edge technologies to both our content development and our publishing functions».

The time has come to unveil the best PS5 and PS4 games of 2023… according to readers of Push Square! As is tradition, we presented the community with a shortlist of 50 PlayStation titles near the end of last year. Readers were asked to vote for up to five of their favourites.

If you spent money on the PS Store this holiday – and, look, there’s a strong chance you did – then you’re probably pondering what has happened to your PS Stars loyalty points. For those who don’t know, PS Plus users are meant to earn credits for every buck they spend on Sony’s storefront, which can then be exchanged for free games or currency.

PS Stars, or PlayStation Stars, is a free loyalty program for PS5 and PS4 which enables you to earn PS Store credit, free games, and Digital Collectibles. If you're a PS Plus subscriber, then you'll earn additional Points based on each PS Store purchase you make.

Near the end of last year, we asked the Push Square community to vote for their most anticipated PS5 games of 2024. Over 11,500 votes were cast across 50 games, and it's fair to say that the results are very tightly packed.
