This October, a next Star Wars animated series is coming to the Disney Channel. Titled Star Wars Resistance, the pilot-focused series features some familiar faces, like BB-8, and we now know a bit more about the new cast thanks to a video detailing who they are as well as a new poster.
Star Wars Resistance follows Kazunda Xiono, a young pilot for the Resistance who is given the top secret mission of investigating the First Order. Obviously, this series takes place during the current trilogy of Star Wars films, before Force Awakens. Disney tweeted out the new poster for the upcoming series, which you can see below.
The stars of the series are shown off in the new poster. There's Tam (Suzie McGrath), a former racer and current mechanic; Neeku (Josh Brener), the heart of the team who also happens to be a genius; Kaz (Christopher Sean), the First Order spy; and Torra (Myrna Velasco), whom we don't know much about yet.
A new video--seen above--details most of the new cast, talking with the voice actors that play them. Yeager (Scott Lawrence) is introduced. He's a former Rebel pilot and father figure for the main cast. He keeps getting pulled back into the action to fight the good fight. Additionally, we learned that Neeku is the light at the end of the dark tunnel for the series. He's incredibly positive and intelligent, but a bit naive. Returning to this series is Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), Leia Organa (Rachel Buter), and Captain Phasma (Gwendoline Christie).
Hopefully, Star Wars Resistance will go down as amazing and epic as The Clone Wars and Rebels. Considering Dave Filoni--the creator of the previously mentioned series--is behind the new show, we should be in good hands. Resistance comes to the Disney Channel on October 7.
Quentin Tarantino's upcoming mystery crime film, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, keeps getting larger and more impressive with each casting announcement. And according to Empire, the legendary filmmaker has tapped Damon Herriman (Justified, Wilfred) to play the role of Manson Family cult leader, Charles Manson.
As Tarantino puts it, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is "a story that takes place in Los Angeles in 1969, at the height of hippy Hollywood. The two lead characters are Rick Dalton, former star of a Western TV series, and his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth. Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don't recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor...Sharon Tate."
Charles Manson, born in November 1934 in Ohio, was convicted in 1971 for the deaths of seven people: Polish film director Voityck Frykowksi and his partner, Abigail Folger; celebrity hairstylist and founder of Sebring International, Jay Sebring; Steven Parent; Leno and Rosemary LaBianca; and actress Sharon Tate, who was eight months pregnant with director Roman Polanski's child.
Manson died in November 2017 from cardiac arrest resulting from respiratory failure and colon cancer.
While Once Upon A Time In Hollywood revolves around two fictional characters--Rick Dalton, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and Cliff Booth, played by Brad Pitt--Charles Manson and the Tate murders will likely be recurring themes in the movie.
Damon Herriman is the most recent actor to join Tarantino's all-star roster. Alongside DiCaprio, Herriman, and Pitt, Al Pacino, Dakota Fanning, Damian Lewis, Kurt Russell, Lena Dunham, Margot Robbie, and more will make an appearance.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood will be released by Sony Pictures on July 26, 2019.
You're probably well aware of the upcoming event All In, if you're a wrestling fan which comes to the Chicagoland area on September 1. The Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, will host the Saturday event, which sold out out quickly. All In will feature talent from NJPW, ROH, Impact, NWA, Lucha Underground, and even one headed back to WWE pretty soon. Even Stephen Amell, the star of The CW's Arrow, is set to compete.
This show all began because of a challenge on social media. Back in May 2017, wrestling journalist and insider Dave Meltzer answered a fan's question about whether Ring of Honor could sell out an arena that seated 10,000+ fans. Meltzer said, "Not any time soon." Cody Rhodes shot back and said, "I'll take that bet Dave." Cody, along with Matt and Nick Jackson, came together to put this show on. The Sears Centre, which holds 11,800 people, sold out within 30 minutes, and this was before a match card was even announced. Information of the event, as a whole, was limited at the time.
So obviously, it's going to be tough to watch All In live, as tickets are sold out and scalpers were driving up the price online--which has gotten a bit cheaper in recent weeks. However, the pre-show, which is called Zero Hour, will air on WGN America--you can find the listing for in your area here. Zero Hour will have two matches that evening, and it will start at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT. After that, All In will be broadcast through PPV, which you can find through your local cable or satellite provider, and on the Fite TV app, which will be charging $40.
There are some big names on the card, which includes Cody taking on Nick Aldis for the NWA Championship and Jay Lethal defending his Ring of Honor Championship against the winner of the Over Budget Battle Royale. That's two world championship matches from two different promotions, which is very rare. Additionally, there are some other familiar faces on the card as well, like Kota Ibushi, Tessa Blanchard, Pentagon Jr, and of course, The Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson.
If that isn't enough, there's a whole convention built around All In called Starrcast, where you can meet and greet those involved in the show, as well as legends of wrestling, and there's a whole section of the show dedicated to podcasting.
Here is what is confirmed for the upcoming All In card.
Zero Hour Pre-Show (On WGN America)
The Briscoes vs. SCU
The Over Budget Battle Royale: Bran Cutler, Colt Cabana, Marko Stunt, Jimmy Jacobs, Billy Gunn, Brian Cage, Rocky Romero, Jordynne Grace, Ethan Page, Moose, and more.
Main Card
The Young Bucks and Kota Ibushi vs. Rey Mysterio, Rey Fenix and Bandido
Hangman Page vs. Joey Janela
Marty Scurll vs. Kazuchika Okada
Christopher Daniels vs. Stephen Amell
Britt Bakers vs. Tessa Blanchard vs. Ashley Rayne vs. Chelsea Green
Kenny Omega vs. Pentagon Jr.
Jay Lethal vs. The Winner of the Over Budget Battle Royale (Ring of Honor World Championship)
Microsoft has announced that a special white version of the Xbox One X will be available for the first time, along with a pair of white hardware accessories. The console will come as part of the Xbox One X Robot White Special Edition Fallout 76 Bundle. The console will come with a matching white wireless controller, 1 TB of onboard storage, and a digital copy of Fallout 76. It will be available November 14, but you can pre-order one now from the Microsoft Store or GameStop for $500.
If you order it from GameStop, you can actually pick it up a month early, on October 15. The digital copy of Fallout 76 won't be playable until the game launches on November 14, but you will get access to the Fallout 76 beta that's scheduled to go live sometime in October.
If you prefer your consoles in black, you can also pick up a black Fallout 76 bundle, releasing November 14. Fallout 76 represents the first time Bethesda has taken its post-apocalyptic series online. Every other person you encounter in the game will be controlled by a real person. You can find out more about the game in our article Fallout 76: Release Date, PvP, and Everything We Know.
In an unusual move, Sony has released one of September's free PlayStation Plus games on PS4 early. Rather than wait for the first Tuesday of the month as usual (September 4, in this case), Sony has both announced the full lineup and offered one of the games for free right now: Destiny 2.
It's a clever move, as Destiny 2's next big expansion, Forsaken, releases on September 4. While you'll need to purchase that DLC (along with the previous ones) to get the most out of the game, you can see what it's like and begin to get caught up so you can dive into the new expansion next week. Given that Forsaken has been positioned as the equivalent of the first Destiny's excellent Taken King DLC, that's an enticing proposition.
Further making this timing work out well is the upcoming Gambit trial. Gambit is the signature new mode in Forsaken, offering a blend of PvP and PvE. Ahead of Forsaken's launch, all Destiny 2 players will be able to try Gambit out for 24 hours on September 1. Although you won't be getting the same rewards you will once Forsaken is out, you can at least get a taste for what the mode is all about. Bear in mind you'll need to purchase the existing DLC to jump into Forsaken, which you'll also need to buy.
This PS Plus release comes just a day after the launch of a massive 2.0 update for Destiny 2. This overhauls the weapon slot system and numerous other areas of the game. Bungie has also shared a roadmap for the DLC and free updates coming in the year after Forsaken's launch.
Dragon Quest is one of gaming's oldest and most beloved series, spanning more than 30 years and multiple consoles. Its latest chapter, Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, arrives on PS4 and PC this September (with a Switch version following down the line), and it marks a return of sorts for the long-running series, after its foray into MMO territory with Dragon Quest X.
In grand RPG tradition, Dragon Quest XI puts players in the role of a silent protagonist known as the Luminary, who is sent to jail early on in the story by King Carnelian because he believes Luminaries are conspiring with darkness. Like other mainline installments in the series, the game features a classic turn-based battle system, which is accentuated with the new Zone and Link systems.
With its release quickly approaching, reviews of Dragon Quest XI have begun to appear online. We've collected a sample of them below to give you a cross-section of what critics think about the title. For a broader look at the game's critical reception, be sure to visit GameSpot sister site Metacritic.
Game: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
Developer: Square Enix
Platforms: PS4, PC
Release date: September 4
Price: $60 / £45
GameSpot -- 9/10
"Innovation in games is talked about a lot, but it's also great to see traditional gameplay formulas that have been around for decades presented exceptionally well. Dragon Quest XI is one of the best modern examples of this; its beautiful presentation, both visual- and story-wise, combines with a tried-and-true gameplay formula for a journey that's full of heart and soul. Once you find yourself sucked into the world of Dragon Quest XI, it's going to be hard to put down until you reach the grand finale." -- Heidi Kemps [Full review]
Eurogamer
"[A]fter the boldness of past entries--whether that's the not-so-recent Dragon Quest 9, or even the perfectly executed Builders spin-offs--Echoes of the Elusive Age ends up feeling like it's missing a trick. This is a pointed return to a different age of RPGs, a throwback to a golden era that shines brightly in its splendour. You'll be hard pushed to find a more lavish production this year, or one that's so generous, though you can't help but wonder whether it's too much of a backwards step." -- Martin Robinson [Full review]
US Gamer -- 5/5
"Even though Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is the 11th installment of the series, it feels like a natural follow-up to Dragon Quest VIII. That makes it a good entry point for Dragon Quest-curious players, too. There's a lot of RPG here, but it all goes down easy. Enjoy it: Games like this only visit us once in a rare while." -- Nadia Oxford [Full review]
Game Informer -- 8.25/10
"Dragon Quest XI stays to true the series' sense of adventure, and the long journey culminates in something cool for longtime fans (be sure to reload your save after the credits roll). I had my share of fun, especially as someone who grew up with the franchise and could appreciate the callbacks littered throughout. At times, I was glued to my controller as I discovered the next village, plot revelation, or impressive boss. Dragon Quest has stuck around for a reason: It does what it does well, and the formula still works. However, Dragon Quest XI's lack of evolution is a hindrance. It's about time the series took some risks." -- Kimberley Wallace [Full review]
Polygon
"A lot of my complaints are about the core conceits. The graphics and scope, while updated, are grafted onto a frail and aging skeleton. The huge map that amounts to hallways, the NPCs with endlessly frivolous dialogue, and the incessant load screens all point to an update--in hardware and software--rather than an evolution. Dragon Quest 11 is a beautiful example of what a JRPG can be after 30 years of lovingly guided evolution. Its success is irrevocably tethered to those decades of development, though, and that means you probably already know if this is a game for you. If you're not already one of the faithful, Dragon Quest 11 is unlikely to make you a convert." -- Jeffrey Parkin [Full review]
EGM Now -- 8.5/10
"Dragon Quest XI brings the legendary Japanese RPG franchise to consoles (properly) for the first time in 13 years, and it's a mostly fantastic new chapter of the series. Its story, gameplay, characters, and visuals all work to blend timeless series elements with newer-era genre refinements, and most of the time, the results are great. Unfortunately, there are a few times when honoring tradition is a weakness, not a strength—most specifically in the case of the game's protagonist." -- Mollie L. Patterson [Full review]
Microsoft has added another game to Xbox One's steadily growing backwards compatible library. Only one new Xbox 360 title is playable on the current-gen console this week, but it's one of the system's most popular: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Originally released in 2009, Modern Warfare 2 was one of the most acclaimed entries of its generation and was one of the installments responsible for propelling the Call of Duty series to its current popularity. GameSpot awarded the Xbox 360 version a 9/10 in our Modern Warfare 2 review and called it "a thoroughly excellent package that is sure to thrill shooter fans and deprive them of sleep for months to come."
If you still have an Xbox 360 copy of Modern Warfare 2, you can pop the disc into your Xbox One to initiate a download and begin playing. If you've previously purchased the game digitally, it'll automatically appear in the Ready to Download section of the My Games and Apps menu. Modern Warfare 2 is also available to download from the Microsoft Store, and it's on sale for $15 as part of this week's Xbox One Deals with Gold.
Microsoft has been rolling out new backwards compatible games for Xbox One on a near weekly basis recently. Earlier this month, two Xbox 360 Tomb Raider games, Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary, were added to the backwards compatible library, while a pair of Splinter Cell games arrived at the start of this month.
More than 400 Xbox 360 games and 30 original Xbox titles are now playable on Xbox One. You can see them all in our full list of backwards compatible games. You can also check out recommendations for which ones to play in our gallery of the best Xbox One backwards compatible games.
Epic has rolled out another update for Fortnite. The 5.30 content update is now available on all platforms--PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile--and it introduces a new item and limited-time mode to Battle Royale, while Save the World receives a new hero and Horde Challenge to take on.
On the Battle Royale side, the recently teased Shockwave Grenade has been added to the ever-expanding weapons list. The Shockwave Grenade is an Epic rarity item that can be found in Supply Drops, Vending Machines, llamas, and chests, and when used, it launches players a huge distance. Those who've been knocked back by the Shockwave Grenade won't take any fall damage, but they'll destroy any structure they fly through.
The new content update also marks the start of another LTM: the returning Solid Gold mode. This time around, Solid Gold is playable in standard and 50v50 iterations, and as before, the only weapons and items that spawn in this mode are of the Legendary variety.
On the Save the World front, Epic is introducing a new hero: Mythic Bladestorm Enforcer Ninja. It will be available from the Event Store beginning tomorrow, August 29, at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET and features the new Bladestorm subclass. Players can also unlock Redline Ramirez, a Legendary variant of the Raider, by completing the new Week 4 Horde Challenge.
You can find the full patch notes for the 5.30 content update on the official Fortnite website. Additionally, Epic has rolled out a client update to "improve stability." The update is available now for most platforms, but the developer says the Switch patch will follow "a little bit later" as it will also include matchmaking improvements for that console.
Tonight, at 8:30 PM PT / 11:30 PM ET, Nintendo will have another Direct. The livestream will discuss new details about Nintendo's first original mobile title, Dragalia Lost.
Announced last April, Dragalia Lost is an action RPG developed by both Nintendo and Cygames. Described as a "new gaming experience with worldwide appeal," Dragalia Lost launches in the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Macau on September 27. Nintendo hasn't announced any other information about the game, so you'll have to tune in to the Direct later tonight to learn more.
Nintendo long expressed a desire to stay away from mobile game development, but the company eventually changed its tune. The developer's three mobile titles--Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and Fire Emblem Heroes--each released to various levels of success. Both Super Mario Run and Heroes have done alright, but Pocket Camp faced heavy criticism for its repeated attempts to get players to buy into microtransactions.
Shigeru Miyamoto--most well known for creating games like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda--recently announced that Nintendo is trying to find a different way for getting players to pay for mobile games. "I can't say that our fixed-cost model has really been a success," Miyamoto said, "But we're going to continue pushing it forward until it becomes entrenched. That way everyone can develop games in a comfortable environment. By focusing on bringing games to the widest range of people possible, we can continue boosting our mobile game business."
The Dragalia Lost Direct comes a day after Nintendo's announcement that 22 indie games are coming to Switch. The biggest surprise from yesterday's Direct is Into the Breach coming to Switch. One of our favorite titles from 2018--we gave Into the Breach a 9/10 in our review--this turn-based strategy game is available on Nintendo Eshop right now for $15/£11.39.
From Software rose to prominence with Dark Souls and Bloodborne, but the studio's newest title, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, is a marked departure from its previous works. The game still retains the unforgiving difficulty and deep combat system that have become From Software's hallmarks, but it trades the established worlds of Dark Souls and Bloodborne for an entirely original one based on feudal Japan. However, it seems Sekiro wasn't always intended to be a new IP.
Speaking to Games Industry, From Software community manager Yasuhiro Kitao revealed that Sekiro was originally planned as a new installment of Tenchu, the studio's long-dormant stealth-action ninja series. "When we originally set out to create something different from Dark Souls and our previous titles, we thought it would be interesting to make a Japanese themed game. So from that we started going in the direction of the shinobi and ninja, and of course Tenchu was an IP with that history; that was the original impetus for this project," Kitao explained.
According to Kitao, From Software approached "a number of companies" with the project, and Activision was immediately on board. As the two studios worked together, the project eventually grew beyond its Tenchu roots and into its own original title. "[A]s we developed and as we partnered with Activision, and started building it together, it started becoming its own thing and the game we wanted to make was no longer just Tenchu, so it really evolved into its own thing," Kitao said.
In addition to its Japanese-inspired setting, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice diverges from Dark Souls and Bloodborne by introducing a resurrection mechanic; when you fall in battle, you're able to use a limited number of life tokens to instantly revive. Your protagonist also has a prosthetic arm that can be outfitted with a shuriken, axe, and other kinds of weapons.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on March 22, 2019. The game will release in both standard and collector's editions; the latter includes a steelbook case, shinobi statue, art book, replica coins, and other bonus items. You can learn more in our Sekiro pre-order guide.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate arrives for Nintendo Switch this December, and we learned earlier this month that Nintendo will release a limited edition bundle of the game in Europe. The company has now confirmed it will likewise offer a special edition of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in the US, but this one will come with a different assortment of contents.
Nintendo has updated the official Smash Bros. website with the first images of the US Super Smash Bros. Ultimate special edition. Unlike the European equivalent, the US bundle comes with a copy of the game housed in a black steelbook case with a fiery Smash Bros. logo emblazoned on the center. Additionally, the bundle includes a Smash Bros.-themed Switch Pro Controller, which features white grips and a white Smash Bros. logo on the face. You can take a look at images of both below.
The US special edition will release on the same date as the standard version of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: December 7. It retails for $140; as of this writing, it's only available to pre-order from Best Buy and GameStop. The Smash-themed Switch Pro Controller can be purchased separately for $75 and is likewise available to pre-order from Best Buy and GameStop.
Europe's special edition packs likewise launches on December 7. It retails for £90 and, along with a copy of the game, packs in a GameCube controller plus the adapter needed to use it on Switch in a big collector's box. Both the adapter and a new line of GameCube controllers will also be available for purchase separately later this year. Those who already own the adapter released alongside Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be able to use that with Switch.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features the largest selection of playable characters and stages to date, with more than 70 fighters and 103 stages. Nintendo hosted a special Direct presentation dedicated to the game earlier in August, during which it revealed five more playable characters, including Simon and Richter Belmont from Castlevania and King K. Rool from Donkey Kong Country. You can read more about the game in our roundup of everything we know about Super Smash Bros. Ultimate so far.
After premiering on USA in 2015, Mr. Robot is now approaching the end of its road. It's been announced that the upcoming Season 4 of the series starring Rami Malek will be its final.
The new was first broken by The Hollywood Reporter, which says the final season is likely to be expanded to 12 episodes, rather than the originally expected 8. In a statement to THR, creator Sam Esmail says, "Since day one, I've been building toward one conclusion--and in breaking the next season of Mr. Robot, I have decided that conclusion is finally here. Everyone on the creative team, including the amazing people at USA and UCP, didn't want to say goodbye, but we ultimately have too much respect for Elliot's journey to extend past its inevitable ending. Therefore, season four will serve as the final chapter of the Mr. Robot story."
Excited to show you guys the final chapter in Elliot's journey. It's going to be sad to say goodbye to Mr. Robot, but it'll be sadder to say goodbye to all the fans. Thanks for hanging with us throughout the years and cannot wait to share the conclusion with all of you.
Esmail quickly followed to news in a tweet to fans of the series. "Excited to show you guys the final chapter in Elliot's journey," he writes. "It's going to be sad to say goodbye to Mr. Robot, but it'll be sadder to say goodbye to all the fans. Thanks for hanging with us throughout the years and cannot wait to share the conclusion with all of you."
A premiere date for the final season of Mr. Robot has yet to be announced. For its first two seasons, the show served as a summer series for USA, before Season 3 debuted in October of 2017 and carried on until December.
Even with Mr. Robot coming to a close, Esmail is keeping plenty busy. He's currently hard at work on Homecoming, the Amazon original he created that stars Julia Roberts. Malek, on the other hand, is ready to make the jump to the big screen. In October, he stars as Queen frontman Freddie Mercury inBohemian Rhapsody, a biopic about the legendary band.
Ah, September. That wonderful month when half of us begin our struggle of going back to school. At least Netflix has a bunch of new movies, TV shows, and original series for those weekend binge sessions. There's a lot of new goodies this coming month, although we're losing quite a few movies and series as well. Here's the full rundown on what's new and leaving in September 2018.
The big addition in September is Black Panther, the Marvel superhero movie that took the world by storm this past February. If you happened to miss out on this celebration of African culture--which we described as "a top tier Marvel movie with all the humor, style, action, passion, and fun that the MCU has come to embody" in our Black Panther review--then now's your chance. Other film highlights coming in September are Groundhog Day, Scarface, Bruce Almighty, The Breakfast Club, Lilo & Stitch, The Emperor's New Groove, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Netflix exclusive Next Gen.
The list of new TV shows isn't as impressively large, but there are a few stellar options being added. Both Bojack Horseman and Stranger Things are getting new seasons. If you like staying appraised of everything going on in the MCU, Iron Fist is also returning another season.
If animation is your thing, new anime series Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan--about a rookie air force pilot who finds herself being chosen as the destined rider for an actual dragon--and animated series The Dragon Prince--which is created by the same folks behind Avatar: The Last Airbender--debut on Netflix this September.
Of the movies and TV shows being removed, Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are the two noticeable standouts. If you want to watch either movie again, do so soon before they're gone for good.

Lessons From A School Shooting: Notes from Dunblane
Insomniac Games community director James Stevenson has revealed PS4's Spider-Man takes about 20 hours to beat. Stevenson unveiled the number when answering an inquisitive player's question on Twitter.
It's worth noting that 20 hours is the average taken from multiple play testers. Stevenson wrote that 20 hours is about how long it takes for someone to beat Spider-Man on the default difficulty and only when completing some quests and activities. Those that do more will take "a lot longer." So the 20 hour mark is for the average player who's not looking to test themselves against the game's most challenging combat or complete every optional objective.
To provide a comparison, most of Insomniac's games are about 10 hours long. One of the more notable exceptions is 2014's Xbox One exclusive Sunset Overdrive--just under 20 hours on the default difficulty if you only do some of the side missions and gather a few of the collectibles. So Spider-Man is much closer in length to Sunset Overdrive than Insomniac's other titles, like Resistance 3, Fuse, or 2016's Ratchet & Clank. If you were hoping to beat Spider-Man in a weekend so you could get back to chipping at your backlog, it seems totally plausible.
