Star Wars TV Show Release Dates Outlined By Disney
In a wide-ranging new feature in Vanity Fair, Kathleen Kennedy has given the magazine insight into the future of the Star Wars franchise, including a loose sense of exactly when to expect Lucasfilm's numerous TV projects to hit Disney+. Beginning with Obi-Wan Kenobi, which drops in just ten days, the "galaxy far, far away" will have a new TV installment hitting roughly every three months for the next year. There are also a pair of series that are a little farther off, with few available details so far. But given that Disney+ tends to keep its release dates relatively close to the vest until the projects are pretty much ready to roll out, this gives us a pretty clear vision for the future.

Dragon Ball Super Art Imagines Ultra Instinct's Fusion with Ultra Ego
Dragon Ball Super's latest manga story arcs have separated Goku and Vegeta into two distinctly different schools of power. Goku has embraced the technique of Ultra Instinct used by the angels – a zen-like state of being in battle that allows for almost effortless speed and power. Vegeta has mastered the Spirit Control technique that makes Instant Transmission (and more possible); Vegeta has also received Destroyer God training from Beerus, and has started to master that. The end result is Vegeta taking all these new abilities and fusing it with his Saiyan Pride to create a new form: Ultra Ego.

Pokemon Fans Discover Amazing Sinnoh Easter Egg
A Pokemon fan has discovered an amazing Easter egg that ties together two elements from the Sinnoh region together. Earlier this year, Game Freak released Pokemon Legends: Arceus, a new Pokemon game set during the Sinnoh region's ancient past. Not only did the game provide players with a chance to explore iconic Sinnoh landmarks like Mount Coronet in a brand new way, players also interacted with numerous ancestors of the characters seen in Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Two of these characters were Volo and Cogita, who were both ancestors of the modern day Sinnoh champion Cynthia. Earlier this week, Reddit user WildWes91 shared a surprising detail about Cynthia and her ancestors that directly tie the characters to the Lake trio, the diminutive set of Legendary Pokemon who play crucial roles in the plots of both Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Report Leaks New "Marketplace"
A new report about Call of Duty 2022 -- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 -- has leaked that the heavily rumored DMZ mode for the game will include some type of new marketplace. Call of Duty has been printing money for years. Not only is each yearly installment the best-selling game every year unless Rockstar Games releases a new Red Dead Redemption or GTA, but Activision and co. also make piles of money on the backend through microtransactions. As you would expect, this two-pronged monetization approach is going nowhere. In fact, if a new report is accurate, it's expanding.

Zelda Fans Call Out Indie Game Over Link's Awakening Influence
Nintendo's Zelda games have had a massive influence on the gaming industry, and there are countless titles that have taken inspiration from the series. However, some games take more inspiration than others. In a new episode of IGN's Rogue Jam, developer Soheyl Ghiami revealed his new game Mysplaced.
