Alien: Covenant doesn't hit theaters for another two months, but director Ridley Scott has already stated that he is planning to shoot the follow-up soon. Now, the director has revealed that it will be called Alien: Awakening.
In a new interview with Fandango, Scott revealed that not only would Awakening be the title of the next film in the long-running sci-fi horror franchise, it might actually sit chronologically between 2012's Prometheus and Covenant.
"There will be another one before we kind of literally and logically, clockwise, back into the rear back head of [the original] Alien," he said. "It will go Prometheus, Awakening, Covenant. There will be more after this. If this is successful, and then the next one, and then there will definitely be three more."
This follows Scott's earlier comments that he was keen to get going on the next movie. "You've got to assume, to a certain extent, success [for Alien: Covenant], and from that you'd better be ready," he said. "You don't want a two-year gap. So I'll be ready to go again next year."
"If you really want a franchise, I can keep cranking it for another six," he added. "I'm not going to close it down again. No way."
[UPDATE] Screenwriter Zak Penn, who is reportedly in negotiations to write the new Matrix film, has spoken up on Twitter about plans for the upcoming film. He said that the film is not a reboot or remake. While he can't come right out and say that, at this point in time, he went on to mention films like Animatrix, as well as the growing X-Men Cinematic Universe with Deadpool and Logan. It seems as though the new Matrix film will be expanding the world instead of rebooting it.
Original story below.
Warner Bros. is reportedly planning a reboot of hit 1999 sci-fi movie The Matrix.
Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Warner Bros. is "in the early stages of developing a relaunch of The Matrix," with Zak Penn in talks to write a first draft. Penn previously co-wrote X-Men: The Last Stand's script and worked on the story of Avengers Assemble, among other projects.
Additionally, Michael B. Jordan (Fantastic Four, Creed, Black Panther) is being lined up to star in the reboot, though there is apparently a long way to go before anything is finalized. The Wachowskis, the siblings who wrote and directed the original and its sequels The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, are not currently involved in the nascent project, though Warner Bros. reportedly want the directorial pair on board to some extent, even if it's just to give their blessings for the reboot to go ahead.
The original trilogy's producer, Joel Silver, is reportedly keen to be involved, but The Hollywood Reporter says Warner Bros. is wary of getting the Die Hard and Lethal Weapon producer on board because of his rumored strained relationship with the Wachowskis.
Representatives for Warner Bros., the Wachowskis, and Silver all declined to comment.
The Matrix was released in 1999 to universal acclaim, winning four Academy Awards and generating over $450 million at the worldwide box office. Reloaded and Revolutions received good and mixed reviews, respectively.
All three films starred Keanu Reeves as main protagonist Neo. Reeves was most recently seen in John Wick: Chapter 2, and while promoting that film he told Yahoo Movies that he'd be open to doing another Matrix film, but only if the Wachowskis were involved. "They would have to write it and direct it," he told the site. "And then we'd see what the story is, but yeah, I dunno, that'd be weird, but why not?"
However, it is reported that Warner Bros. wants a fresh start for the franchise and would therefore seek out a new director and star.
Warning: The video featured in this article contains spoilers for Prey.
Bethesda has released a video of the first 35 minutes of Prey, for those of you that are excited about Arkane's upcoming action game and don't mind a few early game spoilers. The video showcases some of the abilities players will have at their disposal as protagonist Morgan Yu.
It also digs into the upgrading and crafting system, in addition to providing a closer look at the weird shape-shifting aliens you'll be up against. To reiterate, there's a fairly big plot revelation early in this video, so if you want to go into Prey fresh, you may want to skip this video.
Prey is being developed by Dishonored developer Arkane's Austin studio. It is a re-imagining of the 2006 original and replaces the canceled sequel originally in development at Human Head Studios.
Sega has released the first gameplay video for Sonic Forces, the game formerly known as Project Sonic 2017.
The video shows the Blue Blur bolting through a city under siege, collecting rings, using his homing attack to destroy enemies and, of course, leaping between platforms. All the while, Death Egg Robot sentinels can be seen in the background toppling buildings and launching bombs.
Sonic Forces is coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch in late 2017. It runs on a brand-new engine that Sega is calling "The Hedgehog Engine 2." The game's new name, meanwhile, is a reference to the battle between the forces of good and evil.
In other Sonic news, Sonic Mania has been delayed from this spring to summer. A more specific release date hasn't been provided yet, but Sega showed off the game again, teasing new enemies, preorder bonuses, a collector's edition vinyl album, and the return of the Flying Battery Zone. You can watch a video of that here.
After a few delays, Mission: Impossible 6 is about to start production. It has now been confirmed that star Tom Cruise will be joined by Superman himself--Man of Steel's Henry Cavill.
The news was revealed by director Christopher McQuarrie, who addressed Cavill directly on Instagram. His message read: "Had a thought. Curious if you're interested in a role in the 6th installment of Mission: Impossible. No pressure."
Cavill himself replied, stating that he was indeed interested. McQuarrie then laid out some caveats for the job: "Must enjoy extreme heights, high speeds, motor vehicles of all varieties (especially aircraft), practical stunts, firearms, and sporadic exposition. All good?"
The conversation ended with McQuarrie telling the British actor: "Welcome aboard. Your social media account will self destruct in 5 seconds."
McQuarrie went on to explain that the movie will involve an "emotional journey" for Ethan Hunt, played by Cruise. "I've seen five of these movies and I don't know who Ethan Hunt is," he said. "One movie sort of dealt with his personal life; the other movies are about people speculating what's really going on in Ethan's head. I want to know who Ethan is in this movie, I want an emotional journey for this character, and Tom really embraced it.
The last movie in the series, 2015's Rogue Nation, was also directed by McQuarrie and made $682 million at the worldwide box office. Mission: Impossible 6 arrives in theaters on July 27, 2018.
Retailer GameStop will have Nintendo Switch units available for sale "as early as Wednesday, March 22," so if you've been after one but have been affected by the stock shortages, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
GameStop has advised customers to "check their stores first for availability" and noted that it will only have "individual" units available, suggesting bundles with games may not be offered.
"GameStop continues to see strong demand from customers who are looking to purchase the Nintendo Switch system," its senior director of merchandising said in a press release. "We are meeting this demand by securing additional systems as fast as we can to ensure customers are able to purchase this innovative gaming technology.
"The customer enthusiasm and response we have seen so far has been incredible as we continue to sell through our supply of systems. We strongly suggest any customer who is still looking to purchase a Nintendo Switch, visit one of our stores as soon as they can. This new allotment will go fast."
A GameStop representative told us customers "cannot reserve units in advance" due to "the limited amount GameStop has received."
Demand for the Switch has been high and Nintendo is reportedly doubling the amount of units produced to meet this. "People briefed on the plans" have said that although Nintendo initially planned to make 8 million consoles before the end of March 2018, this has now been increased to 16 million.
A new trailer for the upcoming Transformers: The Last Knight has arrived. The fifth movie in the hugely successful action series hits theaters in June, and this latest preview focuses on young star Isabela Moner. Check it out below:
Earlier this week, a new clip from the movie was released, which introduced a new Autobot called Canopy. The first trailer was released in December, followed by this Super Bowl teaser.
Transformers: The Last Knight opens on June 23, 2017. Mark Wahlberg returns from 2014's Transformers: Age of Extinction and will be joined by Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel, Stanley Tucci, and John Goodman. It is directed by Michael Bay, who has previously stated that this will be his last movie in the series.
In a recent interview with Collider, Wahlberg spoke about being part of such a huge movie. "I'm like everybody else," he said "I just approach it as a piece of the puzzle where we're all here to service Michael's vision.
"It's perfectly fine like that. I never look at it as more pressure or less pressure unless of course we're telling a true story like in Lone Survivor where you have real people depending on you to get it right and do them justice. But there's no pressure now."
Nvidia has released a Mass Effect: Andromeda video showing off gameplay running in 4K resolution. It features developers from BioWare discussing the technology it leveraged to bring the new Andromeda galaxy to life.
In addition to HDR, Mass Effect: Andromeda also supports Nvidia's Ansel technology, which--according to its press release--is "a revolutionary new way to capture in-game photography." Ansel allows players to capture screenshots in 360 degrees then share them for viewing on PCs, smart devices, and in VR.
According to producer Michael Gamble, combining Nvidia's technology with the Frostbite engine has also been particularly beneficial for the PC version of Andromeda, allowing the studio to give the game a level of detail it has "never been able to show on screen."
You can see the video for yourself above. Remember to switch to 4K using the settings menu.
After over a decade on sale, Sony is ending production of PlayStation 3 units soon--in Japan at least.
The console's entry on PlayStation's official Japanese website (translated by Gematsu) has been updated to read, "Shipments are scheduled to end soon."
This doesn't necessarily mean global production will cease any time soon, however. While Japanese and western consumers are typically quick to adopt new technology (and therefore sales would be expected to dry up sooner than in other markets), other territories are slower to receive new hardware--hence products often see longer tails. For example, while the PS3 came to Japan and North America in November 2006, it didn't launch in Brazil until 2010, so production could be expected to continue for some time there.
Much of the PS3's early life was marred by a high retail price and reports that it was difficult to develop for, but the console enjoyed a resurgence of sorts later on thanks to high-quality exclusive titles like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Journey, LittleBigPlanet, and The Last of Us.
Over the course of its lifetime, the PS3 shifted somewhere in the region of 84 million units, which puts it approximately level with its main competitor, the Xbox 360. Both Sony and Microsoft have now stopped divulging sales figures for their legacy consoles, so exact numbers are unknown. Whichever is ahead, they are likely the fourth- and fifth-best-selling consoles of all time, behind the PlayStation 2, original PlayStation, and the Wii.
PS3's predecessor, the PlayStation 2, ended production in 2013 after 12 years on the market. That console was more successful than the PS3, and eventually became the most successful console of all time in terms of quantity sold, with over 150 million units shifted worldwide.
It remains to be seen when the PS3 will cease production in the west.
Mass Effect: Andromeda's day one patch will not include any animation or character model improvements, despite widespread fan criticism of the way characters look and move.
Andromeda's lead designer, Ian Frazier, responded to a Tweet asking if the day one update will improve the character models by saying, "At day 1? No, that ship has sailed."
Meanwhile, Frazier also confirmed that developer BioWare is looking to add new skin tones to the game's character creation mode in a new patch. He went on to multiplayer sound issues are "under investigation." BioWare is encouraging players experiencing any further problems to report them on EA's troubleshooting page.
In other Andromeda news, BioWare has announced a new companion app for the game's multiplayer mode. Called Apex HQ, it will track your progression in the mode, displaying information like which characters you've unlocked and what items and rewards you've collected.
We've played Andromeda's multiplayer--check out what we thought here. Or for more on the upcoming sci-fi adventure, keep an eye out for our Story of Mass Effect documentary series. Episode 1 will drop on Saturday, March 16, with Episode 2 to follow a day later. Take a look at a teaser for the minidoc here.
With the news that The Batman won't start production until next year--and with The Flash currently without a director--DC only has Aquaman shooting in 2017. However, it has been reported that the studio is still hoping to get another film in front of the cameras this year.
Variety writer Justin Kroll revealed the news on Twitter. He stated:
With BATMAN likely shooting in 2018, WB still would like one more DC property to shoot this year other than AQUAMAN
Aquaman is the only DC movie with a confirmed release date beyond 2017, and even this recently moved back two months. It is now coming out on December 21, 2018. This week, director James Wan posted images of the exotic locations he is scouting for the shoot--check them out here.
Nintendo is reacting to the demand for Switch consoles by doubling the amount of units produced, according to a new report.
The Japanese company planned to manufacture 8 million consoles before the end of March 2018, states the Wall Street Journal (via GamesIndustry), citing "people briefed on the plans." That number has now been "at least" doubled to 16 million.
Nintendo will be hoping to maintain--and meet--demand for the console throughout 2017, with major releases such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, and Splatoon 2 on the way relatively soon.
Sony has been working on expanding its Spider-Man universe, and since it started working with Marvel, it seems like the franchise is moving in the right direction. A tweet from Exhibitor Relations stated that the first Spider-Man spin-off, Venom, will be coming to theaters on October 5, 2018.
Sony has a couple Spider-Man spin-offs planned, including Venom and Sinister Six, which were revealed in the infamous Sony hack back in 2015. Last year, reports came in that the Venom movie was moving forward with Dante Harper (Edge of Tomorrow) writing the script.
In addition, director Alex Kurtzman--director of the upcoming The Mummy reboot--will be at the helm of the Venom film. There is no news yet on the story for the upcoming film or if he will be introduced in this year's Spider-Man: Homecoming, which already has a sequel in the works.
The NPD Group has released its sales report for the United States during February 2017, including a top 10 list of the month's best-selling games in terms of dollar sales.
Notably, the period tracked by NPD ends on February 25, which means Horizon Zero Dawn wasn't yet out. For Honor led the way in the No.1 spot, while another big release, Nioh, made it to the No. 9 spot. The remainder of the list was primarily made up of the usual suspects.
Overall, total video game sales were down 21 percent year-over-year, dropping to $724 million from $918.7 million last February. This was due primarily to a 30 percent drop in video game hardware, which fell to $204 million from $292.2 million. Software was also down 14 percent to $344.2 million from $402 million.
Last week, Sony confirmed that PS4 outsold Xbox One in the US during February, though it didn't have a statement to share, as has become the norm. Microsoft did comment on the NPD report, though it focused on Xbox Live usage during the month. We'll update this story with anything Nintendo has to share.
NPD analyst Mat Piscatella noted, "3DS unit sales were up 77 percent versus January 2017 driven by the 3DS New Galaxy Style model and the 3DS Limited Pikachu Yellow model.
You can see all of the top-seller lists NPD shared below. As is now the case every month, these lists are ranked by US dollar sales and combine physical sales with digital sales from select publishers (absences include Nintendo and Battle.net). Games marked with an asterisk are those that don't include digital sales.

12 Months Rolling Through February 2017
These are the best-selling games (again, in terms of dollar sales) for the 12 months rolling through February 2017.
On the Sonic Mania front, the key news was that the game has been delayed from this spring to summer. A more specific release date wasn't shared, but Sega did tease new enemies, preorder bonuses, a collector's edition vinyl album, and the return of the Flying Battery Zone. You can watch a video of that above.
As for Sonic 2017, the game is now officially called Sonic Forces. It runs on a brand-new engine called The Hedgehog Engine 2 and is still due out later this year. The name is a reference to the battle between the forces of good and evil. You can see a new piece of concept art for it below.
Additionally, Sega showed off a brief clip of the first Sonic Forces gameplay. It revealed some fast-paced third-person gameplay of Sonic moving through the city seen in last year's reveal trailer. This will be published online for everyone to see tomorrow, March 17. There will be multiple paths through levels and two other styles of gameplay, one of which centers around the classic-style Sonic seen in the aforementioned trailer.
HBO's series The Leftovers returns to the network this April. It will be the final season for the show, and from the looks of the trailer, it may be the end of the world as well.
The Damon Lindelof (Lost) series follows Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux), a police officer who lives in a world where two percent of the population mysteriously vanishes. The world keeps turning, but many people have trouble moving on. This leads to a rise in cult activity, like The Guilty Remnant, which is made up of chain-smoking mutes that disrupt the lives of others.
There is a lot going on in the new trailer, including the tease that Garvey is much more important to the world than he thinks. Could he be some sort of messiah? In addition, it seems the final season is all leading up to the end of the world.
The final moments of the trailer show us Nora Durst on the phone, while someone tells her she could see her family again. Durst lost her entire family during the event when a portion of the population disappeared.
The final season of The Leftovers returns to HBO on Sunday, April 16.
According to EW, Warner Bros. announced today that the film is now slated to come out on December 21, 2018, which represents more than a two-month delay from its previous date of October 5, 2018.
Jason Momoa plays Aquaman. He portrayed the character in Batman v Superman in a small role and will also play the part in this November's Justice League.
In addition to Momoa, Amber Heard will play Mera, the Queen of the Sea, while Patrick Wilson will play Aquaman's evil half brother Orm Marius AKA Ocean Master.
The just-released Switch versions of World of Goo and Human Resource Machine demonstrate another way the system's Joy-Con controllers can be used.
In addition to holding them vertically or horizontally to serve as a traditional controller, the Joy-Con can essentially serve as a Wii remote. As seen in the video below (via Reddit), both games allow you to aim at your TV (or the system's screen itself) using the Joy-Con. Despite the exaggerated arm movements, smaller gestures seem to work just fine, too. Due to seemingly using the controller's gyroscope, a sensor bar isn't needed, as on the Wii.
Using a Joy-Con in this way first requires you to lay it down on a flat surface. Pressing the Plus button allows you to reorient its aim on the center of the screen during gameplay. This potentially allows you to orient it in a way that doesn't require you to aim at the screen itself, should you want to do that for some reason.
Unlike recent games in the series, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is fairly indirect in how it shepherds you through its world. While it reveals some details, most of the time it's up to you to figure out how to survive.

How To Find The Master Sword
Breath of the Wild breaks away from tradition, discarding many of the time-honored tropes the series has been known for. Despite this, it still keeps a few iconic elements from past games. The most notable is the Master Sword, which remains a useful tool you can use to complete your quest. But acquiring the blade is no easy task, as it's hidden somewhere beyond your reach. Here are directions to help you find the Master Sword. [How To Find The Master Sword]
How To Care For Your Horse
Breath of the Wild changes the tradition from past games in the series by removing Link's iconic trusty steed, Epona. Instead, you must find your own horse. Check out the video above for some tips on how to better tame and care for it. [How To Care For Your Horse]
Things The Game Doesn't Tell You
There are numerous important mechanics and concepts that the game never explains outright. At times the game alludes to them, but the majority of the time, you're left to figure them out on your own, either by experimenting or completing a sidequest that introduces a particular mechanic. With so many veiled secrets, we've compiled 14 useful things to know to help you on your journey. For a condensed version of the guide, watch the video above. Otherwise, check out our comprehensive version for the full details. [Things The Game Doesn't Tell You]
Great Fairy Fountain Locations
It's possible to upgrade your armor in the game. But to do so, you must reawaken the power of any of the four Great Fairies that exist in the world. However, finding them is a difficult task if you're not sure where to look. Here are details on how to find the Great Fairies, as well as how to reawaken them. [Great Fairy Fountain Locations]
All The Memory Locations
As you explore, you can discover special cutscenes called Captured Memories. These scenes are triggered when you reach specific locations that correspond to photographs in your Sheikah Slate's album. Finding these memories is difficult, as it requires an intimate knowledge of the world. To help you obtain and find all the memories, we've compiled a guide with details on the locations of all 12. [All The Memory Locations]

How To Find Korok Seeds
If you've been playing through Zelda: Breath of the Wild for even a few hours, you might have noticed that you have very little inventory space for weapons, bows, and shields. Luckily, you can expand your inventory slots! All you have to do is find Koroks, children of the forest that are hiding all over the map. When you find one, it will give you a Korok seed, which you can then trade to an adorable musician named Hestu for inventory slots. There are 11 different kinds of Korok hiding spots and 900 Korok seeds total--you can get them all for completion, but you'll only need 441 to max out your inventory slots. Rather than show all 900 locations, we've put together everything you need to know to find as many as you need. [How To Find Korok Seeds]
Cooking Tips And Tricks
Cooking is essential to your survival in Breath of the Wild. Eating food raw will restore a very small amount of your hearts, but cooking food will maximize its health benefits--and sometimes grant you useful side effects, like the cold resistance you need to safely travel through snow. For a condensed version of the guide, watch the video above. Otherwise, check out our comprehensive version for the full details. [Cooking Tips And Tricks]
How To Dye Your Clothes
Unlike previous games in the series, Breath of the Wild allows you to change the color of your clothing. To do so, you need to talk to Sayge, the manager of Kochi Dye Shop in Hateno Village. Below you can find details on where to find him and what you need to do in order to dye your clothes. [How To Dye Your Clothes]
Amiibo Unlock Guide
The official Nintendo page for the The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild lists Amiibo that are compatible with the game, but it provides few other firm details. Fortunately, we've tirelessly been scanning various Amiibo into our games here at the office to try and lock down exactly what items you can get. [Amiibo Unlock Guide]
How To Survive Every Environment
Pretty much everywhere you go in Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be dangerous, but some areas require more specific preparation than others. Venturing out in the middle of a thunderstorm or scaling a snowy mountain can be deadly, if not downright impossible, without the right gear, items, and knowledge. Here's what you need to know to survive in almost every situation. For a condensed version of the guide, watch the video above. Otherwise, check out our comprehensive version for the full details.

In a blog post today, Titanfall 2 developer Respawn talked about the future of Titanfall, addressed its communication shortcomings, and stressed that you shouldn't expect to hear anything about its Star Wars game soon.
On the subject of Titanfall 2, which publisher EA said failed to meet sales targets, Respawn said in its blog post that the game is "healthy and growing." It's adding more players every week, the developer said, though no official figures were shared. Looking ahead, fans can expect more free DLC for Titanfall 2, while Respawn is tinkering with ideas for future games in the series.
"Right now we're focused on the long term future of Titanfall and we're excited about it," Respawn explained. "The core Titanfall team is working away on lots of cool stuff, whether that be DLC for Titanfall 2, action blocks, and prototypes for future Titanfall projects, or other crazy science experiments."
For Titanfall 2 DLC specifically, Respawn admitted that it did not do a good enough job at communicating what the game's free expansions were all about. Most recently, Respawn launched a new mode called Live Fire; past DLC included a new version of the Angel City map.
"This is something that we will get better at and the studio remains committed to supporting Titanfall 2 with free content as well as new Prime Titans, store items, and more," Respawn said.
The developer will make specific announcements about future Titanfall 2 DLC on March 23, while, at some point in April, the studio will talk about what fans can expect "over the next few months."
There are ongoing Titanfall projects outside of Respawn, including games that are in the works at Nexon, one of which is a free-to-play version of Titanfall for Korea. Nexon's first Titanfall game, the free-to-play mobile title Titanfall: Frontlines, was canceled before it even left beta. More mobile games set in the Titanfall universe are in the works at Nexon and they will be announced "in the near future."
Outside of the Titanfall franchise, Respawn is working on a third-person Star Wars action game that's being directed by God of War veteran Stig Asmussen.
"That project is still wrapped in secrecy and we won't be talking about it for a while," Respawn said.
Finally, Respawn announced that it is launching efforts to communicate better with the community through efforts like a video series and blog posts from developers.
"Our goal is to start providing regular content that gives more insight into the people and work they do at Respawn and give a more satisfying feedback loop to players so that their voices feel heard," Respawn said.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the latest entry in the critically acclaimed, long-running Zelda series. It's set in a massive open world that's far bigger than any Zelda game before it, packed with distinct locations to explore and enemies to defeat.

The Review
"No matter how gorgeous its environments are, how clever its enemies are, and how tricky its puzzles get, the fact that Breath of the Wild continues to surprise you with newfound rules and possibilities after dozens of hours is by far its most valuable quality. It's a game that allows you to feel gradually more and more empowered yet simultaneously manages to retain a sense of challenge and mystery--which, together, creates a steady, consistent feeling of gratification throughout the entire experience. Breath of the Wild is a defining moment for The Legend of Zelda series, and the most impressive game Nintendo has ever created."--Peter Brown [Full review]
