Deadline is reporting that Noah Hawley is in "final talks" to write and direct the film, which would be a co-production between his production company 26 Keys and JJ Abrams's Bad Robot. Hawley is best known as the writer and showrunner of FX's Fargo, which is set to air a fourth season next year. He's also a novelist and the showrunner of X-Men spin-off Legion.A fourth film in the series was confirmed before the previous one was even released, but it has taken a while to come together.

Sequels and expansions used to be different things, but at a time when many games are never supposed to end—never meant to be 'done'—the line has blurred. Path of Exile 2, for instance, isn't precisely a new game release. It's an exciting additional campaign and an overhaul of Path of Exile's current graphics engine and skill system. It's coming as an update, not a new Steam page.Overwatch 2 is not a standard sequel, either. It's a new release (it has its own SKU, as they'd say on a quarterly earnings call) with new Story Missions, but Blizzard doesn't expect every Overwatch player to make the switch right away. To avoid splitting up players, the PvP multiplayer modes of Overwatch and Overwatch 2 will be updated in parallel, so that owners of either can play together.

Or will they take the '2' off after the merge and just go back to calling it … [Read more...] about With Overwatch 2 and Path of Exile 2, sequels are really challenging the meaning of ‘2’

One of the big new features in Pokemon Sword and Shield is Dynamaxing, which increases a Pokemon's size and powers up its stats for three turns during battles. While any Pokemon can Dynamax, only a few species are capable of Gigantamaxing, which not only supersizes a Pokemon, but changes its appearance as well.Even among the Pokemon species that can Gigantamax, only special individuals are actually capable of taking on these forms. For instance, only certain Butterfree you catch through Max Raid battles can Gigantamax; those you capture normally will only be able to Dynamax. You can also get a couple of Gigantamax Pokemon for free; if you have save data from Let's Go Pikachu or Eevee on your Switch, you can get a Gigantamax Pikachu or Eevee at the Wild Area Station, and everyone who picks up Sword or Shield by January 15 can get a free Gigantamax Meowth.The Pokemon Company revealed a handful of Gigantamax forms ahead of Sword and Shield's launch, but there are many more in the games … [Read more...] about Pokemon Sword & Shield: Every Pokemon That Can Gigantamax

The second episode of The Mandalorian has yet to premiere on the Disney+ streaming service, but already one of the show's central mysteries has been solved. Viewers were introduced to the Mandalorian in the series premiere, but at no point was his name uttered. Thus far, we've referred to him as the Mandalorian or Mando, for short.As it turns out, though, he doesn't go by Mando. Pedro Pascal, who plays the mysterious bounty hunter, revealed the Mandalorian's name in a behind-the-scenes interview.
