New Magic: The Gathering set will have you asking ‘whodunit’

Season 2 has officially begun, and with episode one out on Disney+, Marvel Studios has unveiled many of the returning guest stars set to reprise their roles from Season 1.

According to Toonado.com, Reservation Dogs alum Devery Jacobs has been tapped to join the voice cast of Disney+’s Season 2. Jacobs will officially be voicing the role of Kahhori, a young Native American woman who will be Marvel Studios’ first ever original superhero created for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like Jacobs, Kahhori is also part of the Mohawk people.

In the lead-up to the launch of Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, developer Don’t Nod and publisher Focus Entertainment have released a few trailers to highlight different aspects of the game, from its cinematic narrative-driven experience to its emphasis on choice-and-consequence mechanics. In another new trailer shared by Focus Entertainment on Twitter, more details are revealed on the upcoming action RPG’s setting.

Overwatch 2 developer Blizzard Entertainment is "actively working towards" giving away new heroes to all players, not just those who buy a premium battle pass.

Blizzard is hinting at a pretty massive change to its monetization model, with executive producer Jared Neuss saying on a recent podcast that the "goal" is to make all new heroes free for everyone at the start of new seasons.

When Overwatch 2 launched back in 2022, the franchise switched to a free-to-play model, and as you might expect, there have been some complaints about how Blizzard has chosen to monetize the game. One sticking point has been the fact that in order to access new Heroes, you either have to buy the premium version of the most recent seasonal battle pass (which costs $10) or complete a number of hero challenges, which takes time. This kind of setup isn’t unheard of in a live-service game, but in a game like Overwatch where character balance is such a major focus, locking some folks who don’t want to pay out of using a new character for a certain amount of time has been a bone of contention.

The next film from the director of Annihilation, Ex Machina, and Men looks like a bad time at the movies. Civil War is writer-director Alex Garland pivoting from the intimate, provocative horror of Men to explosive, politically charged dread. The first trailer of Civil War, released Wednesday by A24, hints at what the studio is calling “an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride through a near-future fractured America balanced on the razors edge.”

Blizzard has published a new blog post reminding players to migrate their account security to the newer Battle.net mobile app, as the standalone Authenticator app will soon be removed from accounts and any accounts still using it will have their passwords reset. The authenticator itself will be removed from the app store on January 1st, but still be available for use until the 5th, at which time the migration needs to be completed to avoid any disruption of service.

Miller Ross has shared some new tidbits about Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, but we’re not sure you’ll be as excited about them as he is.

Starting on December 12, viewers can stream Wes Anderson’s latest project, Asteroid City, a comedy-drama that revolves around the events at a 1955 Junior Stargazer convention from the perspective of multiple attendees in the form of a play. The film serves as Anderson’s homage to popular memory and mythology about extraterrestrials and UFOs witnessed in the Southwestern deserts of the United States during the postwar period of the American 20th century and features an ensemble cast that includes Tom Hanks, Jason Schwartzman, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Bryan Cranston, Tilda Swinton, Jeffrey Wright, Willem Dafoe, Scarlett Johansson, Margot Robbie, Steve Carrell, Jeff Goldblum, and Maya Hawke, among other cast members.

While it initially seemed like Final Fantasy XVI wouldn’t get any DLC, this week at The Game Awards it was announced the game will be getting a pair of story expansions, with the first, entitled “Echoes of the Fallen,” being available right now!

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been the subject of plenty of complaints and controversy over its live-service focus, and while recent PR hasn’t really focused on this aspect of the game, it doesn’t mean any of that stuff has actually gone anywhere. Case in point, early on it was revealed that Suicide Squad will be an always-online game, and it seems that probably hasn’t changed… at least at launch.
