Though no new trailer was released during The Game Awards, director Amy Hennig (Uncharted) does reveal what to expect from the game when it eventually comes out. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Hennig says about Rise of Hydra:

“It led us to do a bunch of interesting things… one of which was to not only tell a story with a young Steve Rogers who’s still trying to find his feet, as opposed to the more seasoned guy that we’ve seen in a lot of the films. It also let us introduce a new Black Panther of 1943.”

With the Indiana Jones game being such a hit with critics this year, it does seem like Rise of Hydra is also going to be a globe-trotting adventure that would also explore several locations—one of them being the secret nation of Wakanda. Hennig continues:

“Wakanda at this point in time is hidden away from the outside world and protected by this impenetrable jungle,” she explains. “They are non-interventionist, but events transpire that pull them into the conflict. They have to protect their interests. The world is getting smaller. No satellites yet, but there will be soon. You can shoot down planes that maybe want to fly over Wakanda, but how long can you stay in the shadows?”

Hennig goes on to explain the conflict between Black Panther and Captain America, who seem to be teaming up to face a common enemy. She says they are “confronting the same enemies and they’re concerned about the same events that are transpiring, but they’re initially almost working against each other. Good people have to work together to overcome evil. If you separate, then you’re not going to succeed.”

Hennig had directed the first three Uncharted games, so it can be easy to guess that Rise of Hydra is going to be a cinematic action-platformer. Of course, she could go a different direction with this game, but the Marvel brand does promise spectacle, and why else would they hire Hennig if they weren’t expecting that from this game?

No release date has been set for Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, but it is expected to launch sometime next year.

According to insider Daniel Richtman (via ComicBookMovie), Scarlett Johansson is set to reprise her part as Black Widow in Avengers: Doomsday. So far, nothing official has been confirmed, but Johansson joining along with RDJ and Evans further fuels the theory that Doom will be working with a variant team of Avengers who are actually ‘evil’ this time around.

So far, Avengers characters who aren’t dead or dying like Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), and Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) were expected to make an appearance, but some think it’s possible they could also be part of this Doctor Doom super team that the New Avengers will have to deal with.

Honestly, I was up for a clash with Kang with the next Avengers film, and I think that the bringing back of the Russo Brothers and RDJ feels like another Rise of Skywalker situation happening over at Marvel. If they’re pushing forward with it though, all fans can do is hope that the Russos have a dynamite idea, and this would set everything up properly for Secret Wars to be the next big thing.

Avengers: Doomsday is set to release in theatres on May 1, 2026.

Though we don’t have a look at the incoming season yet, Netflix releases promos once in a while, and the most recent one has series lead Iñaki Godoy (Luffy) interviewing One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda. Check this out:

Here’s the official description:

Iñaki Godoy, who plays Luffy in ONE PIECE, meets with the legendary creator, Mr. Oda, to discuss his first set visit. The conversation takes place in Japanese, and offers a look into the future of the series. The Grand Line… here we come!

While manga creators are usually hands off when it comes to adaptations, Oda was actually invited to the set of the series, and it looks like they’re taking his input seriously. After news of Oda going on a break from One Piece, it’s great that he actually got to visit the set in South Africa.

Though there hasn’t been an official look at them yet, the main antagonists for the next arc are Baroque Works, an organization run by Mr. 0 (played by Joe Manganiello). The arc will also see the introduction of Nico Robin (Lera Bova) and Vivi (Charithra Chandran).

The first season of One Piece wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely a  great adaptation of a goofy comic. I’m just hoping they have more of a budget for special effects in the second season, because they are very sparing when it comes to Luffy’s powers.

Season 2 of One Piece is currently in production, and it’s likely it could release on Netflix sometime in 2026.

It was inevitable that the two would end up talking about The Batman, and Reeves reveals that one of his favourite moments with Catwoman in the movie was actually something Kravitz came up with. Kravitz had apparently liked the line “I have a thing about strays,” but Reeves had no idea how to put it into the scene.

Reeves explains, “I was like, ‘I do love that idea, but i don’t know how we’ll ever get that line in,’ and you go, ‘oh, that’s so easy. You just have [Batman] look down at the cats and say, ‘You got a lot of cats.'”

Here’s the scene from the film:

It’s definitely a great character moment in the film, and a says so much about Selina’s motivation and why she was so protective of Annika in the movie. Admittedly just having Batman mention that she has a lot of cats so she could explain herself was a genius move when it came to the writing.

The last we saw of Selina in The Batman, she went off to find a new life in Bludhaven (where Nightwing operates), but she’s also set to make a return in The Batman Part II. The finale of The Penguin also has her reaching out to her half-sister Sofia Falcone in Arkham, so it’s possible fans would also get to see more of her down the line.

No release date has been set for The Batman Part II, but the movie is expecting to shoot sometime next year.

With creator Hwang Dong-hyuk coming back for the series, he does have something to say about his highly anticipated show: “I’m so sick of ‘Squid Game’”

Talking to Variety about his next series, Hwang says, “I’m so exhausted. I’m so tired. In a way, I have to say, I’m so sick of ‘Squid Game,’… I’m so sick of my life making something, promoting something. So I’m not thinking about my next project right now. I’m just thinking about going to some remote island and having my own free time without any phone calls from Netflix—Not the ‘Squid Game’ island.”

Though the first season of the series did end with a cliffhanger, it has been confirmed that the second and third season of Squid Game had been shot back-to-back; this was done so that the third season would be ready to come out next year.

We don’t know exactly what to expect with the second season, but at least now fans know that the showrunners already have an ending in mind—so maybe any twists that would come their way would feel organic.

Despite the success of the first season, a lot of fans did think that the reveal of Oh Il-nam as the secret antagonist kind of just comes out of nowhere; and it also destroys any context of his relationship with Gi-hun during the games.

With Hwang not being shy about the pressure he’s received after the series’ success, I’m just hoping he manages to pull this off with no more hitches.

Watch out for Squid Game Season 2 when it releases on Netflix on Dec. 26.

Though the show only lasted for one season, there was a lot of exploration when it came to Nick’s character, and though audiences never got to see his end, Segel actually thought that Nick Andopolis would actually have a pretty tragic story.

For context, Freaks and Geeks was a period setting that took place in 1980, and talking to GQ, Segel explains that he believes that Nick will die in the war as a soldier (specifically the Iraq War based on the timeline of the show). Segel explains:

“The sad answer to where I think Nick is now, in my mind, he gets sent off to war and doesn’t make it. That was always like the threat looming for Nick, and that’s what happens to a lot of men of that generation and socioeconomic statuses. That’s how I was always thinking of playing him. It was like, for Nick, the desperation in his character is that the alternative is not making it. That’s how he felt. He’s like, ‘I’m gonna drum my way out of this.’ How sad, ‘cause you’re not gonna drum your way out of it.”

In Freaks and Geeks, Nick is part of the Freaks group, and eventually gets into a relationship with the series lead Lindsay (Linda Cardellini). Nick is arguably the nicest person of the bunch, but he does get into a story arc where he gets addicted to weed. He eventually cleans himself up, but he does end up losing Lindsay by the end of the show.

For now, there are really no plans to follow-up to Freaks and Geeks, but the one season is still considered by a lot of fans to be definitive when it comes to Apatow’s brand of comedy. Maybe there could be a reunion down the line, but seeing that James Franco is cancelled, it’s probably never going to happen any time soon.

The film has two huge stars at the helm with Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, and we just got a new teaser. Check this out:

The official description of the film reads:

Set in a retro-futuristic past, this blockbuster adventure from filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo follows Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), an orphaned teenager who traverses the American West in search of her younger brother. Joining her on the journey is a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter (Chris Pratt).

Besides Pratt and Brown, the movie has also managed to gather an impressive roster of cast members which include Jason Alexander, Stanley Tucci, Ke Huy Quan, and Giancarlo Esposito. There are even voice cameos from the likes of Anthony Mackie, Woody Harrelson, Alan Tudyk, Jenny Slate, and Hank Azaria (to name a few),

I’ll admit, the Russos haven’t had a hit since Avengers: Endgame, and this return for Doomsday seems like them just going back to what feels safe. After this trailer though, I have to admit the concept is pretty neat, and Brown and Pratt are solid actors—so Electric State has a lot of great things going for it.

I just hope that Netflix allows for a theatrical release sometime next year, because this honestly looks like it deserves a theatrical experience.

Catch The Electric State when it comes to Netflix on March 14, 2025.

The film is led by Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey and is set to release next year. Though we don’t have a trailer yet, we do have some official photos via Entertainment Weekly. Check these out:

Though most of the movie’s plot is under wraps for now, Edwards does tell EW a bit about the approach of the movie, with them attempting to recapture the magic of the original Jurassic Park from Steven Spielberg. Edwards explains:

“I can’t speak for Universal, but it did feel like a new trilogy, in a way… I’m not sure what their plans are, but it felt like the beginning of a brand-new chapter in this franchise. To me, it’s a giant love letter to Steven Spielberg and his earlier films. There are moments in this movie that remind me very much of Jaws. It’s like little greatest hits of all those aspects of his films that I loved growing up as a child. It’s essentially a little adventure odyssey across this island, a survival story, really.”

Edwards goes on to explain that they actually shot a lot of the film on location, and they had to bring everyone into an actual jungle, with actual wild animals. He says, “We kept it quiet from the actors as they spent a whole day wading through the same area. And there were giant spiders that were poisonous and stuff on the edge of the trees. You just wouldn’t point them out if you saw them. Just keep going!”

After his work on The Creator, Edwards has solidified himself as a visual auteur around the same level of Neill Blomkamp. Admittedly, his last movie wasn’t the best when it came to plot, but fans are hopeful that Rebirth will manage to rejuvenate Edwards’ career moving forward.

Jurassic World: Rebirth is set to release in theaters on July 2, 2025.

According to Variety, Secret Level has already been renewed by Amazon for a second season. No new details have been revealed, but it is said that the show has managed to become the most-watched animated series debut on the platform. The series was apparently able to gather 155.3 million minutes watched in the US alone.

Though Love, Death and Robots was successful on its own, Secret Level has a major advantage in that every short is based on an existing IP, whether it be Warhammer, Pac-Man, or Dungeons and Dragons. A lot of fans have been asking for a Mega Man series for years and though it isn’t a full film, an entry in Secret Level is probably the next best thing.

Not to mention the series has also managed to gather a lot of great talent. Besides the likes of Temuera Morrison and Ariana Greenblatt (The Mandalorian, Ahsoka), the series also has some A-listers like Arnod Schwarzenegger, Kevin Hart, and Keanu Reeves.

We don’t know what the next season could bring, but hopefully we get some great entries from incoming and existing IP. A lot of fans want more Warhammer 40,000, but an entry from The Witcher or Cyberpunk 2077 would be great. How about that Overwatch short finally, or a Marvel Rivals episode?

Catch Secret Level now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

Talking to The Wrap, Gunn reveals a little about the new set-up and how everything is different by the time audiences meet David Corenswet’s Clark Kent. He says, “We just start in the middle of the action. Superman already exists. Lois and Clark already know each other.”

Though the relationship between Lois and Superman is already present in the movie, it looks like rivalry with Luthor is yet to begin. Gunn continues, “Lex hates Superman’s guts from the beginning, although they don’t know each other personally… So we start right in the middle of the action. It takes place over a short amount of time.”

Gunn can’t reveal much about the story, but it does seem that the relationship between Lois and Clark is going to be at the very heart of Superman. So many people already have an ideal dynamic for the couple, but Gunn does tease that their relationship will be different this time around. “The relationship between David and Rachel’s [characters] on screen is something I don’t think we’ve seen in… It’s a complicated relationship and we really get into it and there’s long scenes that are about their relationship and the way they relate and what it would be like for a person who’s this incredibly intelligent, strong-headed, stubborn, skeptical journalist, to have a relationship with someone who can lift a skyscraper.”

Though Superman may be the star of the show, the fact that they’ve cast Rachel Brosnahan—who is arguably more famous than Corenswet—as Lois could mean that she’s the one who’s going to be commanding a lot of the scenery whenever she’s around Clark.

Then again, this is just speculation, so until the trailer comes out this week, all we can really do is guess.

Superman is set to come out in theatres on July 11, 2025.

Karate Kid: Legends is set to release next year, and a new trailer has been dropped featuring Jackie Chan, Ralph Macchio, and the new series lead Ben Wang. Check this out:

The official description reads:

In Karate Kid: Legends, after a family tragedy, kung fu prodigy Li Fong (Ben Wang) is uprooted from his home in Beijing and forced to move to New York City with his mother. Li struggles to let go of his past as he tries to fit in with his new classmates, and although he doesn’t want to fight, trouble seems to find him everywhere.

When a new friend needs his help, Li enters a karate competition – but his skills alone aren’t enough. Li’s kung fu teacher Mr. Han (Jackie Chan) enlists original Karate Kid Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) for help, and Li learns a new way to fight, merging their two styles into one for the ultimate martial arts showdown.

The story pretty much mirrors the original Karate Kid where they take a bullied young teen and turn him into a martial arts fighter. With the story having taken place in Los Angeles and China, now the story is set in the Concrete Jungle of New York City.

I have to admit, Cobra Kai feels like the definitive sequel to the Karate Kid franchise, but this one does have an interesting premise that it brings together the worlds of the Macchio-led universe and the one that once starred Jaden Smith.

So far, Ben Wang does seem like he has the chops to be the next lead after Xolo Mariduena. I just hope that the movie acknowledges Johnny Lawrence one way or another.

Karate Kid: Legends is set to hit theaters on May 30, 2025.

According to a new report from THR, Disney had apparently forced Pixar to remove a transgender storyline in their upcoming series Win or Lose. The series is set to run for eight episodes, with each entry focusing on a different member of a middle school softball team called the Pickles.

Though it’s not the main focus of the show, one character was supposed to have an arc where they struggle with their transgender identity; and Disney has decided to pull the arc and all the references to the character being trans; if it’s any consolation, the character will still be in the series, but forget them mentioning anything about being transgender.

A spokesperson at Disney explains in a statement:

“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.”

When it comes to children’s content, there does seem to be an issue when it comes to trans visibility. It has been said that though Disney publicly celebrates LGBTQ+ representation, they secretly censor the content so it would be able to fly in more conservative markets like China.

It’s certainly a shame that this had to happen with Win or Lose, but maybe the creators can find a way to get the story told even if Disney doesn’t want it to be part of the official series.

Win or Lose is set to release on Disney+ on Feb. 19, 2025.

Just in, A24 has dropped a new trailer for Warfare which is co-directed by Garland and an Iraq war veteran Ray Mendoza—who also wrote the script. Check this out:

The simple tagline for the movie reads: “‘Warfare’ embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory… A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it.”

The part of Mendoza in the film is played by D’pharaoh Woon-A-Tai. Other stars in the movie include Will Poulter (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3), Joseph Quinn (Fantastic Four: First Steps), Charles Melton (May December), Cosmo Jarvis (Shogun), and Noah Centineo (Black Adam).

Just based on the trailer and Civil War, we know that Garland can definitely capture the whole warfare vibe. It’s just different this time around with Mendoza co-directing because he was actually in that story, and his recollection is more vivid and authentic.

Admittedly, there have been a lot of films centered on the whole war in Iraq, but this one looks like it’s going to be a more experimental take which focuses on one specific mission that goes awry—plus it’s told in real-time.

Warfare is expected to hit theaters sometime in 2025.

Though the theme does sound new, it’s actually John Williams’ original Superman theme, but slowed down. It has been said that Williams’ original score will be part of the 2025 movie, and the composer John Murphy (The Suicide Squad) is going to be incorporating it into what could be a wholly original theme. Here’s the original Williams score just to compare:

Music has always been essential to the characterization of Superman, and that’s why his theme from the original movie is still so iconic. That being said, I did love that the DCEU did attempt at giving each hero original themes. Hans Zimmer’s score for Man of Steel was a great follow-up, and even Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman theme has its own place in the fandom’s heart.

The pressure is on for Gunn and Peter Safran to deliver a new DCU, and after middling reviews for Creature Commandos, people are hoping that Superman manages to be something different from Gunn this time. After Guardians, his signature bits have started to get obvious to a lot of his fans.

Watch out for Superman when it soars into theatres on July 11, 2025.

Despite the continuation of the series, it looks like CD Projekt Red has decided to recast the voice actress for Geralt’s successor. As confirmed by The Gamer, Ciri’s voice in the trailer is provided by one Ciara Berkley. The CDPR representative said:

“Ciara Berkeley was cast as Ciri for The Witcher IV Cinematic Reveal Trailer. Ciara is a talented actress who impressed us with her enthusiasm and vocal acting skills, and in this trailer we believe she truly brought Ciri to life in a way that is both faithful to the character and exciting for fans of the series.”

The original voice actress for the part was Jo Wyatt, but there was no explanation on why she wasn’t coming back for the sequel. While some may think the quote could just mean that Berkley is just providing the voice for the cinematic, it has been confirmed that she’s indeed taking over the role for the actual game.

For now, The Witcher IV is said to be in full production, and we should expect it to be a while before the game actually launches. Though The Witcher was what put CDPR on the map, the fiasco of Cyberpunk has led to the studio putting most of their focus on salvaging their rep for several years after a poor launch.

Fingers crossed that The Witcher IV will manage to please fans of Wild Hunt as well as bring in some new fans. It is considered the start of a new trilogy after all.

No release date has been set for The Witcher IV, but we should expect the game to launch for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 sometime in the next two years.

With Disney starting to adapt films from their experimental era like Lilo & Stitch, Lion King star Seth Rogen has a pitch for a Disney adaptation that he would like to work on—The Emperor’s New Groove. Check out this clip from DiscussingFilm:

Seth Rogen tells us he wants to see a live-action ‘EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE’ movie.

“I wanna be in it!” pic.twitter.com/kX8UkExemx

— DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) December 16, 2024

Rogen didn’t say anything about the movie besides, “I wanna be in it!” but at least it’s confirmation that he actually likes the movie—a testament to its quality despite it being considered a disappointment at the box office compared to other Disney animated films.

There is actually a whole big behind-the-scenes story about how The Emperor’s New Groove got made, and it apparently was going through development hell before they got to the comedy film that was eventually released. Originally the movie was supposed to be called Empire of the Sun, and it was supposed to be a dramatic retelling of The Prince and the Pauper. It was all documented in the 2002 film The Sweatbox.

Since the movie is considered a comedy, it’s very possible that’s the same direction that a remake could go, but we don’t know what Disney has up their sleeves. Even Snow White somehow became a freedom fighter story, and even other films like Beauty and the Beast and Peter Pan got major story overhauls.

In the meantime, catch Rogen as Pumbaa in Mufasa: The Lion King which comes to cinemas on Dec. 20.

Revivals have been requested for Malcolm for a while, and now Disney+ is looking to deliver with a revival announced with stars Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston, and Jane Kaczmarek. Check this out:

They’re back! Malcolm in the Middle returns with 4 brand-new episodes on #DisneyPlus. pic.twitter.com/6nYVzjRq3M

— Disney+ (@DisneyPlus) December 13, 2024

According to Variety, the logline reads:

“Malcolm (Muniz) and his daughter are drawn into the family’s chaos when Hal (Cranston) and Lois (Kaczmarek) demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.”

Besides the returning cast members in the announcement, fans are also expecting a return from the rest of Malcolm’s family including Reese (Justin Berfield), Dewey (Erik Per Sullivan), Francis (Christopher Masterson), and Jamie (James and Lukas Rodriguez). The final episode also revealed Lois was pregnant with a sixth child, but we don’t know where that story goes yet. Maybe even Malcom’s best friend Stevie (Craig Lamar Traylor) can show up as well.

Malcolm in the Middle revolutionized the sitcom genre by embracing the lower-middle class status of Malcolm’s family and their everyday struggles. It also popularized the single-camera comedy format, and had racked up 33 Emmy nominations throughout its entire run.

Though some may be bummed that the revival is only four episodes, it does allow for one solid narrative that updates everyone on where Malcolm and his family are now after all this time. Plus, with the original creator Linwood Boomer onboard, we should expect a continuation of the story that feels organic and true to the show.

No release date has been set for the Malcolm in the Middle revival on Disney+.

Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Law reveals, “I would say is that [Jack’s] not someone who’s had a childhood. He’s someone who’s kind of had his childhood snatched away from him, and it’s why he looks at the kids sort of with disdain. They’re just small adults. Why don’t they understand they’ve got to get on and survive? And why are they so inexperienced? He has no real concept of innocence.”

Though it’s pretty clear that Jack is a pirate, there is still a lot of mystery surrounding him—specifically if he has any Force-sensitive powers. Law doesn’t outright say whether Jack can control the Force, but he does hint that his backstory is going to be explored near the end of the series. He continues:

“That doesn’t really come out until right near the end when you really get an insight into his backstory and why he may be a Force user and is Force-sensitive. And it was a detail that was always there, but [creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford) and I really went back and made sure we were all on the same page as to where he was born and what happened.”

There’s a ton of speculation going around about Jack as a character, but at this point, the twist could be that he was Force-sensitive after all, but he wasn’t a Jedi. My personal guess is that he was a padawan during the Purge that managed to escape by becoming a pirate; but that’s already a story that’s pretty close to Fallen Order. Then again, Cal Kestis’ direction went a completely different way. I’m all up for Jude Law, space pirate Jedi.

We know that the movie has been getting constant rewrites and reshoots, but one rumored plot point for the film is the discovery of the invulnerable metal Adamantium which is said to be located in the island of Tiamut.

Just in, a new look at the movie has been dropped, and it confirms that Adamantium has become a highly coveted resource—almost the same as how the MCU treats Vibranium. Check this out:

Admittedly, this is more generically action-heavy compared to previous versions of the film, but it also does give a tease for Staniel Stern a.k.a. The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson) who seems to have half of his head enlarged thanks to his encounter with Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk.

He’s been missing in the universe since 2008, but a lot of people think that his emergence as the secret puppetmaster of the government could be an interesting take on Hulk villain The Leader. Who knows, maybe President Ross is just a victim in all of this when he ends up being turned into the Red Hulk.

Like a lot of fans, I’m admittedly very worried about Brave New World. Though I believe they started with a solid story, the constant reshoots and rewrites after poor test screenings may have resulted in a by-the-numbers film that barely represents the story they originally wanted to tell.

I’m still hoping Sam Wilson’s Captain America debut is a success, but as of now, fans are worried that Marvel is going to mess this one up—especially with all the hype surrounding the project.

Catch Captain America: Brave New World when it comes to cinemas on Feb. 14.

Check out the trailer:

The official description reads:

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet is the newest franchise in development for the PlayStation 5 console from Naughty Dog, the studio behind acclaimed series like The Last of Us and UNCHARTED. Set thousands of years in the future, Intergalactic puts players into the role of Jordan A. Mun, a dangerous bounty hunter who ends up stranded on Sempiria – a distant planet whose communication with the outside universe went dark hundreds of years ago. Jordan will have to use all her skills and wits if she hopes to be the first person in over 600 years to leave its orbit.

Though sci-fi properties are dime-a-dozen nowadays, Intergalactic is very specific in that it makes use of retro sci-fi—in that everything is kind of a blend of the future if it was imagined in the 80s. There’s a lot of analog technology in Jordan’s ship, and you can even see her making use of CDs.

It’s said that the game is inspired heavily by sci-fi properties like Akira and Cowboy Bebop, and even director Neil Druckmann states that it’s the ‘deepest’ Naughty Dog has ever went when it comes to gameplay.

The cast is led by Tati Gabrielle (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) and also includes the likes of Troy Baker, Kumail Nanjiani, and Tony Dalton. It’s also worth mentioning that the music is coming from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, members of Nine Inch Nails and recent providers for the score of Tron: Ares and Challengers.

No release date has been set for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, but fans are hoping the game comes out sometime in 2025 for the PS5.
