The highlight of the first Venom: The Last Dance trailer was the symbiote taking over a horse, which… isn’t exactly high praise. In the just-released second preview, however, things are looking more intriguing and unexpectedly high-stakes.We already knew that the third Venom movie was meant to be the ‘end of the line’ for Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock and the chatty Venom symbiote unless some sort of very half-assed crossover event movie happens with Morbius, Kraven, and whatnot. The first trailer also introduced Chiwetel Ejiofor as a military-type and Juno Temple as a scientist both trying to hunt down and understand the symbiote just as a major invasion hits Earth. Now, the plot is getting a bit more complicated.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings One major complaint about the two Venom movies released so far, which have done really well at the box office despite the middling critical receptions, was that they lacked compelling-enough villains or threats that went beyond just another guy wearing a symbiote in a different colour. Sure, Carnage is a big villain from the comic books, but he was wasted alongside Woody Harrelson’s Cletus Kassady. Now, in the final stretch, the creatives and producers behind the saga are raising the stakes by bringing Knull, the god and creator of all the hungry symbiotes, into the fold.Given what we know about the overall plot and the expected runtime of the movie (these are always on the shorter side), chances are Knull won’t be doing much besides showing up in a flashback and plotting in the shadows, but maybe Venom 3 has an ace up its sleeve. Regardless, it’s the kind of baffling, last-minute move we expect at this point from Sony-produced Marvel movies. You can check out the trailer for yourself below:Venom: The Last Dance | Trailer Watch on YouTubeBesides Knull’s surprise appearance, this second trailer promises an emotional goodbye between Eddie and Venom, which, honestly, sounds like the most enticing thing about this whole movie, as the filmmakers have cracked (almost by mistake) a refreshingly heartfelt relationship between these two male leads. In fact, Venom 2 veered into bromance territory quite often. Otherwise, it all largely looks as conceptually dated as the two previous movies… but might be just enough to convince casual moviegoers once again.Meanwhile, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios seem to be getting the next Tom Holland-led Spider-Man movie off the ground sooner rather than later, with Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton now attached to helm it. Word on the street is that the chunk of Venom symbiote left behind in Earth-616 during No Way Home’s post-credits scene will factor in the plot, so we’re not done with symbiotes on the big screen even if Sony shuts down the solo Venom saga.

Without any kind of announcement from Square Enix, mobile game Kingdom Hearts Union X Dark Road has been delisted.The thing about Kingdom Hearts, is that if you actually play the games, overall it’s not that confusing. Square Enix has made that easier over the years with its various ports that consist of certain games in full, others compressed into cutscenes. But there’s been one game that has been stuck on mobile devices, despite being one of the most important for the future of the series: Kingdom Hearts Union X Dark Road. This one has a whole bunch of lore, and one of its main characters even shows up in Kingdom Hearts 3 – another, smaller but soon-to-be important character, Strelitzia, also made an appearance in Kingdom Hearts 4’s first and only trailer. So why, then, has Square Enix …
Read moreAmong Us has a new collab on the way, this time with Ace Attorney’s very own… Miles Edgeworth!Obviously the first port of call you’d expect for an Ace Attorney crossover of any kind is with everyone’s best boy Phoenix Wright, but late last night Innersloth announced that its next collaboration would feature Wright’s own rival stroke boyfriend Miles Edgeworth. There’s a pretty simple explanation for this one though, as in case you forgot, the latest Ace Attorney collection from Capcom, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, is all about Miles, so that’ll be why you’ll be able to get him as a free cosmetic in Among Us that’s dropping on September 9. It’s unclear if this is a limited time only kind of deal, so if you’re an avid Among Us and/ or Ace Attorney fan, you might want to hop …

Read moreWe still don’t know much about the sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but the voice behind Toad is promising some “deep cuts” at least.A Super Mario Bros. Movie sequel has been in the works for a little while now, but it’s also still probably quite a while away until we’ll actually see anything from it. But Keegan-Michael Key, the actor who played everyone’s favourite anthropomorphic mushroom Toad, did share some tidbits in a recent interview with Men’s Journal. “One thing I can say about the second movie is that it’s a little broader in scope, and where it takes place is very intriguing lore and the Mario world,” Key said. “They’re going to find some really fantastic Easter eggs and it’s been very exciting so far.”To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie setti…
Read moreIt’s sounding like Astro Bot is a certified hit, as the game has apparently performed better than any other 3D platformer bar Mario over the past decade.These days, if you set out to make a 3D platformer, you’re possibly in for fighting an uphill battle. While the genre dominated 3D gaming’s earlier years, interest in it dwindled over the years, even if it’s had a bit of a comeback on the indie front in more recent years. Only Nintendo can manage to put out a truly successful platformer, but it does seem like Mario is in for some amount of competition. GamesIndustry.biz’s Christopher Dring, who has access to various bits of sales data for consoles and games alike, shared on Twitter earlier this week some tidbits about where console sales are at, but also how Astro Bot is doing.To see this …

The tabletop RPG mainstay has been synonymous with pen-and-paper adventuring for 50 years now, and 2024 marks a major reworking of its core rulebooks to make the game more approachable. Anyone who’s played even just a couple of sessions knows how easy it can be to covet a friend’s set of custom dice, appreciate the care a Dungeon Master has taken in setting the right ambience for a crafted campaign, or even obsess over their choice of pen and notebook — after all, it’s what you’ll be spending a large chunk of time staring into as you ponder your character’s next heroic action.But what’s amazing is that you can be a huge D&D fan without ever touching a character sheet.
