No one should have to go too long without new Star Trek, and thankfully Paramount agrees: A month after Strange New Worlds wrapped up season 2, Star Trek: Lower Decks is back with its fourth season to bring some wacky fun to the Federation (which, the rest of the Star Trek universe aside, the Federation could sorely use; they can get a bit self-serious).
Netflix’s Scott Pilgrim anime looks like a bold new take on a beloved series

It’s been a minute since we last heard about Netflix’s upcoming Scott Pilgrim anime produced by Science Saru of Devilman Crybaby and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! fame. Well, the long wait is (almost) finally over: Netflix not only shared the first official trailer for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, but announced that the series is slated to premiere this November.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off will reunite the original cast of Edgar Wright’s 2010 live-action film adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs. The World — including Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, Brie Larson, Kieran Culkin, Jason Schwartzman, and Anna Kendrick — to reprise their roles in this new animated take on Bryan Lee O’Malley’s acclaimed graphic novel series. Executive produced by Wright and co-written by O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski (2019’sAre You Afraid of the Dark), the eight-episode anime will be directed by Abel Góngora, who previously directed the ‘T0-B1’ episode of Star Wars: Visions.
Details regarding the anime’s premise were scant when it was first announced, but going by the trailer, it looks like Scott Pilgrim Takes Off will be the series’ answer to Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood: an adaptation that more closely aligns with the story of O’Malley’s comic than Wright’s aforementioned film, which diverged from the source material and was produced before the final volume in the comic (2010’s Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour) had been published.
The trailer looks fantastic, brilliantly translating O’Malley’s distinctly anime-inspired art to create a visual spectacle that feels at once brand new and familiar. The soundtrack sounds great too, produced by Joseph Trapanese and the chiptune pop rock band Anamanaguchi, who previously composed the score for 2010’s Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off premieres on Netflix on Nov. 17.

What We Played #618 Armored Core VI, Baldur’s Gate 3 & New Zealand Story
As the school holidays wind to a close, and those heady weeks of FIFA games and lengthy RPG sessions fade into memory, my household has had one last gaming hurrah. I’ve been making my way through all of the things I saw at Gamescom, and carried on with some of them when I got home. Wayfinder has become the daily MMO hit, and I’ve been playing with my son in his first true stint of online gaming. Alongside that I’m still playing Baldur’s Gate 3, and I’m probably going to finish up just as the PS5 version appears. It’s safe to say it’s very, very good, and if you haven’t been able to play yet, you should be excited.

David Fincher’s The Killer looks like the kind of movie the Hitman games deserve
Netflix released the first trailer on Tuesday for The Killer, David Fincher’s latest psychological action thriller starring Michael Fassbender as a methodical and highly trained assassin undergoing a crisis of conscience while on assignment in Paris. The trailer is quintessential Fincher: a fast-cut montage of scenes of Fassbender narrating his gradual psychological breakdown filled with sickly yellow hues and icy turquoise lighting, powered by an ominous, thrumming electronic score by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Zenless Zone Zero Looks Like Yet Another HoYoverse Hit | Push Square
We got a glimpse of Zenless Zone Zero during Gamescom Opening Night Live, but the trailer maybe wasn’t the best introduction to the title for those unfamiliar with the release. This gameplay showcase does a much better job of showing off the title, demonstrating its life-sim style lobby where you can play arcade games and manage a VHS store through to its character action combat.
