Elden Ring Developer Is Seemingly Working on a Secret New Game

On top of an already big day for acclaimed franchises like PlayStation's God of War and Horizon games, The Witcher fans got an update from CD Projekt about the next game in the series. The creators of The Witcher games said that The Witcher 4 (it doesn't have a name yet, so that's the best anyone's got) has left the research phase of development and has now entered pre-production. That doesn't mean that it's anywhere close to being done, but it's welcome news for those who are looking forward to the first chapter in the next saga.

A new leak has teased that PlayStation is about to bring back one of its dormant video game franchises on both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. That series in question happens to be Resistance, which was the shooter franchise developed by Insomniac Games that debuted with the PlayStation 3. And while Resistance has been put on ice for over 10 years at this point, it looks like the series is about to have a revival in some capacity on modern platforms.

The Star Wars Jedi: Survivor trailer has left many with more questions than answers, particularly when it comes to a character that Cal Kestis finds in a bacta tank. Respawn and EA finally revealed Star Wars Jedi: Survivor earlier this week after several years of waiting. The 2019 game was a major hit commercially and critically, partially because it was the first story driven Star Wars game in nearly a decade, so it scratched a major itch for fans. The game also introduced fans to a whole new character, allowing them to experience the world of Star Wars through a new lens and it appears that's going to continue.

A critically acclaimed Star Wars game is coming to Nintendo Switch very soon. Over the last few years, Aspyr Media has been working to bring a ton of classic Star Wars games to modern platforms, ensuring they're accessible to a new generation of gamers. Although Xbox and Disney have been able to successfully make a number of games like Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith backward compatible, Aspyr's efforts are essentially restoration projects. Most recently, the team brought Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to Nintendo Switch and has been responsible for remastering games like Star Wars: Republic Commando on PlayStation 4, a game that was never on PlayStation consoles.

Rockstar Games released another weekly GTA Online update on Thursday, and with that comes a reworked game mode: The Vespucci Job. This game mode that puts a spin on The Italian Job typically focuses on the Issi Classic as players are tasked with pulling off an exemplary display of driving by navigating to certain checkpoints while avoiding opposing players, and in this "Remix" version of it, it'll feature a similar setup. However, the Issi Classic is no longer the only option for the Runners while the opposing Interceptors have a similarly expanded array of options to choose from that aren't limited only to ground vehicles.

Xbox is working on a new peripheral that would allow users to cloud stream games without the need of a console or mobile device. According to reporting from Windows Central's Jez Corden, the streaming stick is codenamed "Keystone" and it would allow for a cheaper alternative to purchasing a full console. The device could also make it much easier for users to play Xbox games while traveling, or play games from different rooms in the same house. In a statement provided to Windows Central, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed Keystone's existence, but stated that the product is still in the development stages.

Nintendo Switch Online's NES and SNES apps have been updated tonight with a trio of retro games. The Super Nintendo app now has Rival Turf! and Congo's Caper. Meanwhile, the NES app has been updated with Pinball. These aren't nearly as high-profile as many of the other titles available on the service, and a lot of gamers might not have even heard of these games! However, it's nice to see Nintendo is continuing to provide new games for these apps, even as they support the N64 and Sega Genesis apps available through the Expansion Pack.

Nintendo is all about some free trials – it's got one running right now for Mario Strikers: Battle League – but those trials typically come with strings attached to them. Sometimes those strings involve people having to have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership in order to test out a game, and if the trial is for Nintendo Switch Online itself, Nintendo typically restricts those to new users which means that if you've ever had a subscription before, you're ineligible. That's changed this time around, however, with Nintendo offering everybody a seven-day trial of Nintendo Switch Online regardless of this is your first, second, or 100th time subscribing to the service.

My Hero Academia has brought its long running spin-off prequel manga series to an end with its latest chapter, and one awesome cosplay is honoring My Hero Academia: Vigilantes' final chapter by taking the stage with Kazuho Haneyama's Pop Step! The spin-off series initially grabbed fans early on with the promise that it would be taking place years before the events of the main series. While there were cameos from some of the pros in the main series, the biggest draw was in fact the new characters who were taking up the heroics in place of proper heroes lacking in their neighborhood.
