It looks like Ubisoft’s cancelled sequel for Immortals Fenyx Rising would have been quite different from the type of games that the company has become known for. According to Axios, sources have indicated that Immortals 2 would have blended quite a few games together, including Elden Ring and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

11.6 million console and PC games were sold in July across Europe, up 34% over the same period in 2022.

The Elder Gods were pretty useless in both Mortal Kombat timelines. In the original trilogy, they kinda just sat back and allowed Shao Kahn to decimate entire civilizations, even invading Earthrealm despite losing the Mortal Kombat tournament. When they do get off their asses to do something, it's usually already too late. And that's not to get into the whole Shinnok ordeal. Long story short, they drop the ball a lot.

From the minute I read the words «roleplaying musical,» I wondered how well musical theater and video games would merge on the latter's home turf. After all, we've seen video games make the jump to the real-world stage a few times in history – Japan's Ace Attorney musicals and The Last Of Us: One Night Live spring to mind. However, a video game taking the form of a Broadway musical is a much rarer affair, and Stray Gods is a perfect example of what makes that adaptation so difficult. A great (if predictable) story, enhanced by some incredible musical performances, is limited by the medium chosen to host it, which creates a fun but imperfect experience. 

Disney Plus’s Percy Jackson adaptation is hitting the streaming service a bit earlier than expected. The show is going to premiere on Dec. 20, as announced by a brand new teaser on Friday. Previously, the show was expected to hit the platform sometime in early 2024.

The first trailer for the upcoming Disney Plus series Percy Jackson and the Olympians is here, plunging us straight into the world of Greek mythology.
