It’d be quaint to suggest that Baldur’s Gate 3 was just another big-ass game. The hit RPG launched out of early access late last year and positively took the world by storm, becoming the fixation of everyone near and dear to me.

When I first started playing Overwatch, the original 2016 hero shooter that spawned the 2022 free-to-play sequel Overwatch 2, it was right when Moira was first introduced. The morally repugnant scientist joined the game’s support roster in 2017, and for a newcomer like myself, she seemed like a good hero to start…

There is a lot of down time in Dragon’s Dogma 2. Capcom’s action RPG is in many ways a game that’s just about walking—but it’s neither boring nor a bad thing. Enjoying the lengthy journeys you take from point A to point B and getting distracted by secrets waiting just off the beaten path is what makes Dragon’s Dogma 2…

The next Games of Thrones spin-off series is taking shape, with Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight expected to premiere next year. HBO has now cast the lead roles for The Hedge Knight, with Peter Claffey (Vikings: Valhalla) and Dexter Sol Ansell (The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes) set to star in the series as Dunk and Egg.
The official logline for The Hedge Knight: “A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros … a young, naïve but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall (Claffey), and his diminutive squire, Egg (Ansell). Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and the memory of the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits all await these improbable and incomparable friends.“
The Hedge Knight is written and executive produced by George R.R. Martin and Ira Parker, with Ryan Condal, Vince Gerardis, Owen Harris, and Sarah Bradshaw also executive producing. The series is based on three novellas published by Martin — The Hedge Knight (1998), The Sworn Sword (2003), and The Mystery Knight (2010). All three stories were then collected and published together as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms in 2015. The stories have typically been seen as “lighter” tales in the realm of Westeros, but we’ll see if the series follows suit.
“George R.R. Martin is in pre-production for the new spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which will premiere in late 2025 on Max,” said Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav in February.
Before we get to The Hedge Knight, Game of Thrones fans have the second season of House of the Dragon to look forward to. “Season one was setting the table for a very bloody feast to come,” series co-creator Ryan Condol told Entertainment Weekly last year. “I’m really interested in picking up with all of those characters that we spent all of this time introducing, particularly Rhaenyra’s and Alicent’s families, and seeing what happens now that we’ve flipped the chessboard over and spilled the pieces on the ground.” The second season will premiere on June 16th.

It’s the freakin’ weekend, which means it’s time to get stuck in some games. Maybe you’re playing Dragon’s Dogma 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, or Rise of the Ronin. Or, if you’re a Game Pass subscriber, you could be playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s Multiplayer and Zombies mode as part of Xbox Free Play Days.

Two years have gone by since we heard that Sonya Walger (For All Mankind) had signed on to star in the cat and mouse horror thriller New Life with Hayley Erin of Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, and Tony Amendola – who was in both the Conjuring Universe film Annabelle and the Conjuring Universe adjacent The Curse of La Llorona. It’s been seven months since JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols got to check the movie out at the Fantasia film festival, resulting in a 7/10 review you can read HERE. But we only have one more month to wait until a wider audience is going to have the chance to see New Life. Brainstorm Media will be giving the film a VOD and limited theatrical release on May 3rd, and in anticipation of that release a full trailer has arrived online. You can watch it in the embed above.
This film marks the feature debut of writer/director John Rosman. It tells the story of “a deadly cat and mouse game in the Pacific Northwest”, with Walger is taking on the role of Elsa, a brilliant ‘fixer’ assigned to capture a mysterious woman on the run. As the snare of the pursuit tightens, Elsa must fight her own secret battle with the deadly disease ALS to stay on top of the explosive case, before it reaches an apocalyptic endgame. As their two stories interlink, the stakes ratchet up, and their journeys uncover the deep truths of what it means to be alive. And that can only come through the power of acceptance and hope.
Ayanna Berkshire (Sometimes I Think About Dying), Nick George (Good Girls Revolt), Blaine Palmer (Gone), and Jeb Berrier (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore) are also in the cast.
New Life was produced by T. Justin Ross and Mike Marchlewski, with David Lawson Jr. serving as the executive producer.
