Marvel has shared a mid-season sneak peek of the Disney+ series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. The video explores "the complicated legacy of the shield and what lies ahead for Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, John Walker, and the Flag Smashers."With only two episodes left on a six-episode run, Falcon and the Winter Soldier has so far offered little in the way of answers to the show's long-running questions and conflicts--and as of last week, has only made the stakes more complicated. But this new clip from Marvel offers some good clues about where things are headed and also how some of these conflicts may play out in an adventure taking place six months after the events of Avengers: Endgame, which saw the mantle of Captain America handed to Sam Wilson and his buddy Bucky Barnes.

Final Fantasy VII Remake's original period of PlayStation exclusivity lapsed recently on April 10, which prompted some fans to speculate whether or not the game will come to other platforms like Xbox Series X, Xbox One, or PC. However, just because the original date of exclusivity passed doesn't mean that the game is coming to any other platforms, and Square Enix hasn't publicly stated anything about the exclusivity period either.Twitter users like @Benji-Sales pointed out last week that April 10 marked the end of FFVII's stated exclusivity period with PlayStation, posting a photo of the game's box to confirm that was the case. As stated above, Square Enix has not announced any plans to bring FFVII to any other consoles or platforms, so it's unclear if this date passing means anything.Just as a heads up, the contract for Final Fantasy VII Remake exclusivity to PlayStation ends in 3 days on April 10th, 2021So if Square Enix has any plans on bringing this game to other platforms such as PC or Xbox they can start talking about it as soon as this month. pic.twitter.com/3hZ7x8qMdL — Benji-Sales (@BenjiSales) April 7, 2021The impending release of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade--the PS5 upgrade of the game--later this summer further complicates matters. We don't know whether this exclusivity period applies to Intergrade as well as the original game, or if Intergrade will have a completely separate exclusivity window attached to it. Even if Square Enix announced tomorrow that the original Remake is coming to other platforms, we wouldn't be able to conclude whether or not Intergrade will come to other platforms as well.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Lucy Liu (Kung Fu Panda, Why Women Kill) will play the villainous Kalypso in the upcoming Shazam! Fury of the Gods sequel to 2019's Shazam!, according to Deadline. Liu joins Zachary Levi, who will reprise the title role, as well as new cast members Rachel Zegler and Helen Mirren, who will play the villain Hespera, a daughter of Atlas and sister to Kalypso.As the cast begins to fill out, we still have a ways to go until the movie hits theaters on June 2, 2023--which is why we still don't quite know the movie's plot. Kalypso and Hespera both didn't exist in DC comic books, but these characters from Greek mythology--and a few others--have been rumored to be the main villains, with at least one more sister expected to be announced. Although it doesn't tell us a great deal about what the movie is actually about, we do know a bit through omission--comedian Sinbad will not, despite persistent rumors, be in the movie.In the meantime, there are plenty of DC movies arriving before 2023. James Gunn's The Suicide Squad releases in August, with Matt Reeves' The Batman following in March 2022. Beyond that, The Flash and Aquaman 2 are currently scheduled for November and December 2022, while Dwayne Johnson will make his DC debut in the Shazam spin-off Black Adam, which doesn't have a release date yet.

He did not say what his next job will be.Burnett's Linkedin page lists ten different Call of Duty games as projects he worked on, including Warzone, Black Ops 4, WWII, and Modern Warfare Remastered.

I will miss everyone at RVN & ATVI. Thanks for all of the support, hard work and resilience over the years. I will forever be grateful for the opportunities I had. Best of luck to all. — Ryan Burnett (@BurnettRyanP) April 9, 2021Though Raven Software first made a name for itself with first-person shooters like Heretic, Hexen, and Soldier of Fortune, it has served principally as a Call of Duty support studio since 2010. Back in 2019, reports suggested that Raven and fellow CoD developer Sledgehammer were slated to lead development on Call of Duty 2020, but those plans were scuttled and Treyarch was tapped to lead development. That game eventually became Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, with Treyarch and Raven co-developing.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Sharlto Copley (District 9, Powers) has been cast in Season 2 of Netflix's Russian Doll, according to Deadline. The actor's role has not yet been announced.Copley joins the recently cast Annie Murphy (Schitt's Creek), who similarly has an undisclosed role. The mystery is completely in line with how Season 1 of Russian Doll wrapped up back in 2019--which isn't worth spoiling, but how that season wound up resolving itself made many fans assume the show would not be coming back. Season 1 focused on Natasha Lyonne (Orange is the New Black) as Nadia Vulvokov, a software engineer who is stuck reliving her 36th birthday, which is also the day she seems to die no matter what choices she makes. No plot details whatsoever have been revealed for Season 2.The Netflix series was picked up for a second season back in 2019, but the COVID-19 pandemic had pumped the brakes on production rolling forward as expected. Production is believed to have already started in March.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Fortnite version 16.20 is just around the corner, and Epic has once again taken to Twitter to share the basic patch notes. As is often the case, players will want to dive in firsthand to see all that's new, as the patch notes tend to only cover the broad strokes these days, but the Fortnite 16.20 patch notes still include reference to some fun new additions players have been waiting for.Chief among them is probably the allusion to "new wheels," which is likely a reference to the remodeled Whiplash car you may have caught in the Fortnite Season 6 launch trailer. Already the fastest car in the game, the Whiplash looks primed to be tricked out with new tires and suspension that should solve the car's previous issues with offroad traction. The question remains, though, whether other new cars will be landing on the island as well. For now, we await the overnight update--or more likely the dataminers ahead of time.Version 16.20 will also introduce a new bow-focused Duos Cup, though its proper name and start date have not yet been revealed. It sounds like it's time to practice your accuracy with this season's themed weapon.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
