This She-Ra and the Princess of Power article contains minor spoilers for season one. Queer fans of animation have always had to wait. Wait for any scraps of possible representation. Wait for a character to be revealed as queer (which can sometimes take years). Wait to see if those characters will be treated well. This isn’t always the fault of the people making those series. Noelle Stevenson, executive producer of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, knows just how much of a fight it’s been for several decades....

The truck simulation genre has been going strong for several years now. There’s been a lot of different entries in that time, and now a newcomer has stepped up to the plate. Triangle Studios and SODESCO Publishing have teamed up once again to deliver a new simulator (their previous title was Real Farm), this time an entry in the truck driving genre. Fittingly, the new game is simply named Truck Driver....
While reading Solo: A Star Wars Story by Mur Lafferty, I toyed with trying to separate it from the movie it was based on. Since the book is billed as an ‘Expanded Edition,’ I thought maybe the key would be to discuss what new things the book brought to the movie. But a novelisation is still a novelisation, and the book doesn’t add enough to the characterisation or tone to set it apart....
Sonic Origins won’t include the original soundtrack for Sonic 3 & Knuckles. The news was confirmed by Sonic social media manager Katie Chrzanowski in a Sonic livestream. “While unfortunately we can’t use all the original sounds from the Sega Genesis version of the game, Jun Senoue has been working really hard to adapt the original music that was composed in 1993 for Sonic Origins,” said Chrzanowski. “He’s been going so far as reproducing it, with the same sound chip from the Sega Genesis, and using his own digital audio tape collection to make this as faithful to the originals as possible....
On the other hand, the film could capitalize on Sonic’s initial lack of shoes through a running joke. Fans have been creating memes of Sonic’s unrevealed feet for years, so if the movie wanted to, it could make an inside joke about that by keeping Sonic’s feet out of sight despite his shoes being off; it would probably work to great effect, too. Or, the movie could ignore the whole situation entirely and focus on more important things, like, being good enough to break the video game movie curse (for those that think Detective Pikachu didn’t)....
God of War developer Sony Santa Monica Studio has said it is doing its best to block Ragnarök spoilers ahead of the game’s launch next week - but that ultimately, it cannot completely stop the flood of leaks now spreading online. Over the weekend, God of War creative director Cory Barlog said it was “completely fucking stupid” fans have to “dodge the spoilers” after retailers began selling Ragnarök copies well ahead of the game’s official launch on Wednesday 9th November - still more than a week away....
UPDATE: In response to Ryan’s comments, Sony has told VideoGamer.com that it is “continually working” on improving DriveClub’s servers to launch the PS Plus Edition “as quickly as possible”. “Although currently we do not have an update regarding the timing for the launch of the PS Plus Edition, we are continually working on improving the server capacity to enable us to launch the PS Plus Edition as quickly as possible.”...
If there’s one thing Sony is good at, it’s making exclusive games. The company has gained quite a reputation for its exclusive lineup, which offers gamers almost universally well-reviewed single-player experiences. Among those titles is Spider-Man, the web-swinging action game that became one of the best-selling superhero titles of all time. And while that game came out just last year, it seems that a new Spider-Man game may not be too far away, possibly even by 2021....
You may have encountered a term called “KDA” while playing Splitgate. We walk you through what this means and what its significance is in-game with some tips to improve your KDA. What is KDA? KDA stands for “Kill/Death/Assist”. It’s an acronym which we also know as “KDR” which is an abbreviation for “Kill/Death Ratio”.

This article originally appeared on Den of Geek UK. Imagine you’re a little kid waking up on Christmas morning 1977. For the past few months you’ve lived and breathed Star Wars; you’d lined up to watch the film in theaters back in the spring, and since then, it’s all you and your friends have been able to talk about.

Star Wars is full of characters whose names can be said around the world and most people will turn their heads. Whether it’s the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker or perhaps one of the greatest villains ever created, the Sith Lord Darth Vader, the Star Wars franchise lives on through its heroes and villains. But not all of the best Star Wars characters come solely from the Skywalker Saga or even from series creator George Lucas; in fact, one the most beloved villains in many fans hearts borderlines on whether they’re even technically canon in the new Disney era, Darth Revan from BioWare’s Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic....
The actor that played Iden Versio in Star Wars: Battlefront 2’s single-player campaign has hinted at a potential role in The Mandalorian’s second season. Janina Gavankar responded to a fan-made casting list for The Mandalorian’s second season saying that fans would have to ask one of the main writers and directors of The Mandalorian, Dave Filoni, for more information. While Star Wars: Battlefront 2 was hugely controversial upon its launch in 2017, its single-player campaign was very well received....
If there was any doubt that Walt Disney World would have less magic behind its Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge opening, after the Disneyland version opened in May, rest assured there was a rathtar-haul of reveals in Orlando this week. Chief among them, members of the media – of which I was one — were treated to additional information about the upcoming Rise of the Resistance attraction, as well as the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser hotel....
After being away from Steam for most of the decade, EA made a grand return to Valve’s platform with last week’s release of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. While it was unlikely to flop, the early numbers are in and the game has done pretty well on Steam. According to Valve’s own stat tracking, the title peaked with 46,550 concurrent players on launch day. That’s not gangbusters well, but it is notable because of Jedi: Fallen Order’s status as an EA title....
The Humble Store is running yet another multi-game sale. This time, it’s the return of the “Festival of Speed” sale. It was available last year too, and now it’s come around the bend again for a victory lap. This sale has marked down the price of several racing games across the Humble Store. While not every single racing game in the store is a part of this sale, the selection is still pretty hearty....

Popular streamer Jenna has lost her Twitch partnership after the leak of her chat logs, which show some baffling sexist, racist, ableist, and other slurs. This comes after she has publicly admitted that she knew that what she did was wrong, offering an apology in which she claimed she did not remember writing those things and that she “would deserve” to lose her partnership. The chat logs appeared earlier in January on Reddit, first posted on the r/LivestreamFail subreddit, but quickly making it to r/all, Reddit’s front page....
