Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson in a recent earnings call said he “would love to see” another entry in developer Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi series, although he didn’t have any official announcements to make at this time.
When asked during the Q&A portion of EA’s first quarter earnings call how the publisher would approach the Star Wars franchise in the future in regards to live services and “ongoing engagement,” Wilson said EA didn’t have anything to announce at this time. However, Wilson said EA has a great partnership with Disney and Lucasfilm and has found incredible success with games like Star Wars Battlefront, the popular Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes mobile game, and the Star Wars Jedi series.

Jared Leto likes to get into character and stay there for as long as he can. For his new film, Morbius, that meant intentionally struggling to get around, just like the film’s titular character did before his transformation, said director Daniel Espinosa in an interview with Uproxx.
“Yeah,” Espinosa said, confirming that Leto did indeed use a wheelchair on the set of Morbius. “I think that what Jared thinks, what Jared believes, is that somehow the pain of those movements, even when he was playing normal Michael Morbius, he needed, because he’s having this pain his whole life. Even though, as he’s alive and strong, it has to be a difference. Hey, man, it’s people’s processes.”
Leto plays the eponymous protagonist of Spider-Man spin-off Morbius, Michael Morbius. The character has a blood disease that makes him weak, forcing him to use crutches to get around before a transfusion of vampire bat blood causes him to develop superpowers. Leto initially used crutches to get aro…
If there’s one thing Kirby is known for–apart from being “friend-shaped” and adorable–it’s the little guy’s insatiable appetite. Kirby’s Dream Buffet hones in on this aspect, creating a game all about chowing down on tasty treats as fast as you can. While the title seemingly draws inspiration from a variety of games, most notably Fall Guys, Beautiful Katamari, and Mario Party, it succeeds in differentiating itself from the rest and feeling quintessentially Kirby with its lighthearted, food-centric, and fun tone. However, for all of its charms, Kirby’s Dream Buffet suffers from quite a few issues–most notably, a serious lack of content and incentives to keep playing. While rolling around as Kirby is enjoyable, the experience feels more like a light snack than a well-balanced meal.
Kirby’s Dream Buffet begins atop a table adorned by pastel-colored pastries and sweet treats. After rolling off your plate and onto the gingham-patterned tablecloth, you can bro…
Early in The Dark Knight, Harvey Dent tells Bruce Wayne the line that’s become synonymous with the film: “You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” Director Christopher Nolan recently admitted that he didn’t initially understand what the line was meant to convey. The line itself was conceived by Nolan’s brother, Jonathan Nolan, who co-wrote the script. During a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Nolan shed some light on the origin of that line.
“It came later in the script,” said Nolan. “We’ve done a version or two of the script where we were looking for something that would distill the tragedy of Harvey Dent but that would also apply to Batman. The richness of Batman is in the way this principled, almost Boy Scout-like figure is wrapped up in this kind of ghoulish appearance and his willingness to embrace the darkness. So I was looking at Greek tragic figures. The first part of that line is ‘you either die a hero’ — and that par…
Lena Headey made a name for herself back in 2006 with Zack Snyder’s 300, but found superstardom among the Game of Thrones cast, where she was Cersei Lannister for eight seasons. Fans were enthralled with the villainess as she also earned acclaim with five Emmy Award nominations for the role.
Now, Headey is behind the camera for her upcoming film, The Trap, in which she’ll make her directorial debut. While she can’t promote the projects she has on the horizon because of the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Headey did get into the ideas she had for Cersei in that final season of Game of Thrones with The Hollywood Reporter.
When asked if she thought Cersei’s end could have been better or if she had anything specific in mind for the character, Headey said she definitely had a plan. Spoiler warning for Game of Thrones Season 8.
“I think all of us did, to be honest, because you start trying to write the story yourself. And [Arya Stark actress Maisie W…
Lego games are not usually centered around their actual construction toy namesake. A massive library of Traveller’s Tales games have been built on crossovers with many licensed franchises, turning properties like Lord of the Rings and Marvel superheroes into slapstick action-platformers, and Lego A Builder’s Journey used the brick-building toys to tell a heartfelt story. Lego games don’t often capture the feeling of actually playing with Lego bricks, but Lego Bricktales actually does with incredible accuracy.
Bricktales is all about building, transporting you to five Lego-themed worlds and presenting you with a series of physics-based building puzzles. The physics system underlying the whole thing is impressive, as the Lego bricks actually perform the way any experienced brick-builder would expect. Whenever you finish a project that requires weight-bearing, you’ll need to test it with a falling object or a little robot crossing your construction to make sur…

In Horizon Forbidden West, one of the main story missions will take you to an ancient facility with mysterious origins. Seeking an unknown “asset,” Aloy will need to hail a machine from a device using a console code, but this code is hard to figure out because the game really gives it to you in less than clear language. Here’s what you need to know about the Horizon Cradle of Echoes code.
Where is the Cradle of Echoes code in Horizon Forbidden West?
Luckily, the code is the same for all players, and the reason for that is story-related. When Aloy goes to hail the pod featuring an “asset” inside of it, she’s not told explicitly which one the asset is in. This is tricky because there are 236 pods to choose from.
But that’s also a hint. There are 236 pods documented as being in the facility, so what you need to do is hail the one extra unaccounted for using code 237. A clue to this can be found in the facility, but even then it’s written in such eni…
