'Dungeons & Dragons' Single-Player Game In The Works From 'Star Wars Jedi' Veteran
Giant Skull, a new game studio founded by Star Wars Jedi franchise and God of War 3 director Stig Asmussen, is hard at work on an upcoming single-player Dungeons & Dragons action adventure.
The currently untitled project was announced by Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast, and follows previous reports that Giant Skull was making a new AAA single-player game built in Unreal Engine 5. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (2023)
'Our talented and experienced team at Giant Skull is built on creativity and curiosity,' Asmussen said in a statement. 'Our goal is to craft a rich new Dungeons & Dragons universe filled with immersive storytelling, heroic combat and exhilarating traversal that players will fully embrace.'
Formed in 2024 after Asmussen left Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment a year prior, Giant Skull's leadership team also consists of lead producer Lauren McLemore ( Fortnite, League of Legends ), art director Patrick Murphy ( Valorant, Ratchet & Clank ), CTO Jon Carr ( Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ), design director Jeff Magers ( Star Wars Jedi franchise, Medal of Honor: Airborne ), animation director Brian Campbell ( Fortnite ) and COO/CFO Anthony Scott. Previous reports also indicated that the team consists of Rockstar alumni as well. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order (2019)
Giant Skull's latest project is set to add another notch to publisher Wizards of the Coast's belt, joining a separate D&D action adventure game by Invoke Studios, the team behind 2021's Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance , alongside the sci-fi RPG Exodus , which will be helmed by Archetype Entertainment, a team made from former Mass Effect veterans.
With Asmussen's impressive track record consisting of highly successful games like the Star Wars Jedi franchise, God of War II and its sequel God of War III , hopes are high that Giant Skull would be able to deliver an immersive story-focused adventure set in the captivating world of Dungeons & Dragons . The project is still in its infancy, although it was confirmed to be a multi-platform title and will launch on PC and consoles 'at a later date'.

‘Predator: Killer of Killers' Director Dan Trachtenberg Discusses Aliens and… Terminator?
Ever since Arnold Schwarzenegger's Dutch Schaefer and his team of soldiers embarked on their doomed rescue mission in 1987, only to be hunted by an invisible alien threat, the Predator franchise has become synonymous with gratuitous live-action violence, filled with heaping amounts of blood and no shortage of spine-ripping gore. And across multiple sequels and crossovers, it has been something that fans just can't get enough of. Everything is about to change with the arrival of Predator: Killer of Killers , as the streaming film marks the series' first foray into the animated space, and opens up a new realm of visual storytelling possibilities that can't be easily and effectively replicated in a live-action format. From smooth, slick anime-like movements to whole new levels of stylistic destruction and modern animation, director Dan Trachtenberg ( Cloverfield Lane ), who also directed the last Predator sequel, Prey (2022), realised that he could introduce new elements to the lore, and connect with audiences in ways that the live-action films could not. 'I distinctly remember, as a kid, Predator was one of the first R-rated movies I was allowed to see, and the violence really blew my mind,' Trachtenberg recalls in an exclusive interview with Geek Culture. 'And I think around the same time, I eventually saw Akira for the first time, and that movie, as an animated film, was one of the more emotionally intense and heavy movies I had seen, and also one of the coolest action movies I had ever seen.' Based on the manga of the same name, the 1988 Japanese animated cyberpunk action adaptation has been lauded as one of the most influential anime films ever made. Trachtenberg's goals for this film are twofold – to bring the Predator franchise to a medium it had yet to be in, while simultaneously fostering that 'first R-rated movie watching' experience he had, balancing both incredible violence with a story full of heart and emotional intensity. When it comes to stories, Predator: Killer of Killers offers not one, but three tales, with the anthology film covering three distinct characters across different points in history – a Viking in a raiding party on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his brother in a battle for succession, and an allied pilot during World War II – as all three encounters something far deadlier than an enemy from that era. The time periods might differ, but one thing remains constant throughout – they are all hunted by a member of the galaxy's deadliest predator. With three stories, each with its own associated Predator, one would think that Predator: Killer of Killers would be a non-stop violence fest throughout its 90-minute runtime, but that was never the intent, to triple the same tale of man vs. alien. Instead, Trachtenberg wants to offer that same balance between action and deep character development, in the same vein as his 2022 prequel, Prey. 'Since the first Predator movie, which essentially was a slasher movie, you're bonding with human characters, and you're seeing them picked off one by one by an unseen creature. [This] same thing was somewhat a part of Prey , although I think Prey decides to be even more character forward and more drama forward before the intensity unfolds,' he explains. 'It was really important to me to carry that forward with Killer of Killers , but not just with having characters that were on their own emotional story, but also featuring an action sequence before the Predator even shows up. So there really is an exciting conflict in the stories that only gets amplified when the Predator becomes a part of it, harkening back to the franchise's DNA.' Even though a stronger emphasis has been placed on the human side of the equation, Trachtenberg and the team are still well aware that most viewers are in it for the grand reveal of each Predator, thus making huge strides to ensure each hunter fits well into its associated time period, which sets up an interesting prospect considering how this film brings the franchise further back in time even, compared to Prey's 1719 tribal setting. 'Set in the 800s, we're seeing a Predator that is before even Prey , but still has to feel far more formidable and advanced than our Earthlings,' he explains, 'So that's where it's very singular weapon came in, something that certainly speaks to technology and does things that human weaponry cannot do, but also seems to be a little bit more in the the Viking aesthetic.' And from the snippets seen in trailers, this statement certainly rings true, with the Vikings facing off against a hulky beast with an energy weapon for a right hand, making it less technologically advanced than the usual Predators fans are used to, but still much superior to the opposing Vikings, which by comparison, might as well be fighting the creature with literal sticks and stones. It's not just the Vikings who will be having a tough go at it, though, as the Predators are also leaving their mark on feudal Japan, and a time period where society has been ravaged by World War II, each bringing their own unique tools to the table. 'For our Japan chapter, we wanted to lean into something that felt more stealth-like. We loved the idea of ninja meets ninja, and the Predator has always been this 'ninja-like' creature, and it was exciting to see game meet game.' Trachtenberg adds. 'And then, of course, World War II, the pure joy of realising we could tell a story that would be almost entirely set in the air, and have the Predator function the way it normally does on the ground, except from his spaceship exclusively, still unleashing all of his fun toys and seeing if humans could outsmart that gauntlet was really exciting.' But what's next for the series? There's no secret that the filmmaker is in the midst of the upcoming Predator: Badlands film, which marks the seventh film in the mainline series. Starring Elle Fanning ( Maleficent , A Complete Unknown ), the movie does not take place on Earth and is instead set on the Predator species' home world, and will focus on the culture of their species. But what ignited excitement among the fandom was the revelation that Fanning was playing the role of Thia, an android created by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation – the same company that has sought to exploit the xenomorphs from the Alien franchise. The appearance of the company's logo left fans anticipating some level of crossover between the two massive franchises, each featuring a distinct species of formidable alien hunters. While there have been two Alien vs. Predator films in the mid-2000s, both received negative reviews, but with the recent success of Alien: Romulus (2024), and excitement for the upcoming Alien: Earth TV series, a revival of the crossover has become top of mind among fans. Elle Fanning's Thia in Predator: Badlands When pressed about the hints of a connected Predator and Alien universe, Trachtenberg merely points to established lore that already showed that Predator and Alien have long shared a connected universe, as 1990's Predator 2 featured a Xenomorph skull hanging in the trophy room of a Predator ship during its closing scene. 'Even before Predator 2 that featured the Xenomorph skull in the trophy room at the end, there's always been a shared DNA between Terminator and Predator and Aliens,' notes the filmmaker, who references James Cameron's iconic franchise. Comic book fans would remember that all three franchises were involved in a limited series from 2000. 'They're all action, horror, sci-fi that came out around the same time,' he notes. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007) For Trachtenberg, the dichotomy between the Alien and the Predator was always interesting, with the former being more of a creature, while the latter being a character, possessing 'intelligence, a code and a culture that separates him from all the other action horror films that came out of the 80s', something that allows the apex hunter to gain all the new stories over the years, with an underlying 'terrestrial idea' that can link to different cultures, iconography and aesthetics. 'Certainly with Predator and Alien, they've intersected over time, and as evidenced in Badlands , there's some further linkage there,' he hints, while also adding, 'I think I have no interest in taking all the action figures and smashing them together inside one movie, but there's certainly something fun about telling a story that's very world-expansive.' Predator: Killer of Killers premieres on 6 June 2025 on Disney+ and Hulu in the United States.

Here's a recap of all the major announcements and trailers revealed during the showcase, from hotly-anticipated upcoming titles like 007 First Light and Silent Hill f to long-rumoured remasters like Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles : Following a tease this week by developer IO Interactive, we finally have our first look at 007 First Light , due for release in 2026, which will follow a fresh-faced James Bond as he embarks on his journey as a special agent. Despite being mostly cinematic, brief snippets of gameplay tease the same third-person stealth action that fans of the Hitman series would no doubt be familiar with, alongside intense car chases and explosive set-pieces worthy of a Bond adventure. Survival horror fans are in for a treat, as Konami's upcoming Silent Hill f is set to bring outworldly madness to 1960s Japan, with a gameplay trailer featuring not only brutal close-quarters combat against grotesque, deformed monstrosities, but also an unhealthy dose of psychological trauma the series is so well-known for. Fans don't even have to wait that long too, as the game is due out on 25 September this year. Arc System Works, the folks behind the Guilty Gear fighting game series and Dragon Ball FighterZ , have announced their next fighting game, Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls , which features 4v4 battles between Marvel heroes and villains like Iron Man, Captain America, Storm and Doctor Doom, and will be released in 2026 on the PS5 and PC.

The game's Alpha Demo is also out now on the PlayStation store, so eager fans can hop in and experience the action while they wait for the game's 2026 release. It might not be the big gameplay reveal fans were hoping for, but rather a teaser of a teaser, as Sony has announced a dedicated Ghost of Yōtei State of Play coming in July 2025, with the upcoming showcase focused entirely on Sucker Punch's next open-world Samurai adventure, with 'an extended look at new and evolved gameplay mechanics'. Konami's stealth-action remake, Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater , has landed a brief but action-packed gameplay trailer ahead of its launch on 28 August 2025, offering not only glimpses of its reimagined stealth and combat, but also a cheeky nod to Japan Studio's classic video game Ape Escape with its revamped Snake vs. Monkey minigame, with a mysterious hint at the end of more to come. After its last appearance in 2023, Capcom's newest IP, Pragmata , has returned with a new gameplay trailer, showing off its 'two-in-one twist of action and strategy', where players will control both of its two protagonists, Hugh and Diana, simultaneously.

Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, origami, Hirogami is a 3D action platformer launching on 3 September 2025 featuring a fan-wielding 'folding' master Hiro, who can take on various paper animal forms as he embarks on a mystical journey to save his home from deadly digital invaders.

'Fantastic Four: The First Steps' Final Trailer Drops Comics-Accurate Catchphrase
Family is front and centre of the latest trailer for Fantastic Four: The First Steps , featuring bonding moments sprinkled amid all the superhero action, alongside a first look at a certain someone. The celebration of family is established in the opening scene of the clip, with Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm going, 'Family — it's about connecting to something bigger than yourself.' As baby Franklin Richards is officially revealed, she continues: 'Whatever life throws at us, we'll face it together. As a family,' and the attention turns to various displays of the group's dynamics, including Johnny Storm (Joseph Quin, Stranger Things 4 ) giving The Thing a fist-bump, and the Human Torch's quip about taking back 'every single bad thing I've been saying about you' to Reed ( Pedro Pascal, The Last of Us ). And speaking of The Thing, played by The Bear 's Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the pic, the character finally gets time with his catchphrase from the comic books. Well, sort of — he responds with a 'Oh yeah!' after Johnny yells, 'Is it clobbering time?'. It's not all fluff, though, for two threatening forces are looming in the background: Julia Garner's Silver Surfer, and the terrifying Galactus (Ralph Ineson, Harry Potter films), who has also been turned into a popcorn bucket (via a separate trailer). Indeed, the greatest strength of Marvel's first family is each other, especially since Franklin has yet to grow into the powerful reality warper with god-like abilites that he is in the comics. The mutant is expected to play a role in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film that will reunite this cast with the wider characters of the MCU, including Robert Downey Jr, who will play longtime Fantastic Four nemesis, Victor von Doom aka Dr Doom. Fantastic Four: The First Steps marks the first live-action debut of Franklin and Shalla-Bal, the female version of the Silver Surfer portrayed by Garner. Matthew Wood, known for voicing General Grevious across various Star Wars projects, joins the cast as robot H.E.R.B.I.E, with Natasha Lyonne ( Orange is the New Black ), John Malkovich ( In the Line of Fire ), and Paul Walter-Hauser ( Cobra Kai ) also starring. Matt Shakman directed a screenplay written by Josh Friedman and Eric Pearson. The first film in Phase Six of the MCU is scheduled to release on 25 July.
