Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens’ release date of December 18th is drawing closer, but what hasn’t been confirmed is the day the third (and final) trailer for the film will be released. A new rumour suggests it is expected Monday next week, October 19th.
The trailer is rumoured to debut on ESPN during Monday Night Football, and will also supposedly reveal a new logo for the film.
The rumour hints that Lucasfilm will make the announcement 12 hours before the game.
Thoughts on this rumour? Are you excited for the final The Force Awakens trailer?
Star Wars: Battlefront’s beta may have closed (with over nine million fans trying out the beta before the game is released next month), but more news regarding one of this year’s most anticipated video-games has been released.
To start off, EA announced a season pass that will coincide with the game. A description of the season pass from EA reads as follows:
“We’re also excited to announce the Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass*, which extends the game with four expansion packs coming at a later date, filled with new content that will take you to new locations across a galaxy far, far away. Star Wars Battlefront Season Pass owners will also secure two-week early access to each expansion pack and an exclusive “Shoot First” emote.”
On top of the season pass announcement, EA also revealed four new modes for the game:
Cargo – A thrilling tug-of-war experience for fans of Star Wars and capture the flag gameplay. Cargo challenges your team to capture valuable cargo boxes from the opposing team. Get the loot and make your way back to your base – but don’t forget to defend your own precious cargo as each capture counts.
Droid Run – Six Rebels and six Imperials fight to capture and hold on to three GNK Power Droids™. These are the Droids you’re looking for. GONK!
Heroes vs Villains – The most valiant Heroes and cunning Villains of the galaxy are clashing in this epic Star Wars Battlefront mode. Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and other iconic characters will be part of your team together with ground troopers. Keep your Heroes and Villains alive to score points and win the battle.
Hero Hunt – Seven Imperials against Luke Skywalker? Seven Rebels battling it out against Boba Fett? In Hero Hunt, one player will experience the thrill of playing as an iconic Star Wars Battlefront Hero or Villain, facing off against ground troops from the opposing faction. Want to play as the Hero? Take them out and you’ll get your chance, but remember, once you become the Hero the hunt is on.
Star Wars: Battlefront is scheduled for release on November 17th and will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
Star Wars: Rebels begins airing its second season this week, and in anticipation two new clips have been released from the season premier episode “The Lost Commanders”.
The clips show the rebels encountering Captain Rex, Commander Wolffe and Commando Gregor for the first time.
You can view the clips below:
If you notice, the clips run back-to-back scenes simultaneously, even though both are from different sources.
The second season of Star Wars: Rebels begins airing tomorrow.
Treyarch’s recent Call of Duty video-games have become known for their Zombie modes, and this year’s Call of Duty: Black Ops III will be no different.
Treyarch and Activision have released the prologue trailer for a new Zombies mode that will feature in the game, called Zombies- Shadows of Evil.
You can watch the trailer below:
A synopsis of the mode reads as follows:
“Shadows of Evil introduces four unwitting characters who must uncover the secrets and challenges laid out for them by a shadowy figure, who offers them a path to redemption. Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Neal McDonough, and Ron Perlman star in Shadows of Evil, a new survival co-op experience only available in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. Unravel the secrets and explore a massive 1940s, film noir-inspired world in the deepest Zombies experience to date.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops III is scheduled for release on November 6th.
Two of the characters fans liked most in the first season of Gotham were Oswald Cobblepot (The Penguin) and Edward Nygma (The Riddler), so fans were very excited when they shared a brief scene in the episode “The Scarecrow”. While their encounter then may have been brief, Robin Lord Taylor has confirmed that the two characters will team up at some point in the second season.
Taylor, who plays Cobblepot, is quoted as saying the following:
“I think I can also say that Nygma and Penguin will come back together in some major ways this season, and it’s really exciting.”
Neal McDonough’s Damien Darhk has already been a hit on Arrow, but now it has been confirmed that the character will show up in two of The CW’s other DC shows- The Flash and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow.
McDonough is quoted as saying the following:
“You go back to the League — I did an episode of Legends last week — and I look exactly the same in 1975 but you see he’s not as confident and doesn’t have such an agenda forty years ago as he does now. So it’s fun to play the different times, you know? Going back in time with Legends, and The Flash, with The Flash, I’m just this crazy, fun, enjoy everything while I kill everybody type of character. It’s just nuts.”
Thoughts on this news? Are you excited to see Darhk show up in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow?
