New Captain America: Brave New World Lego Figures Available For Preorder
Captain America: Brave New World hits theaters next year, and if you (or your kids) are excited about the movie, you’ll find two cool Captain America Lego sets up for preorder. The first is a New Captain America Construction Figure, while the other is a Captain America vs. Red Hulk Battle Set featuring multiple minifigures and a buildable battle jet. Both arrive on December 1, so consider locking in your preorder today to ensure you have them in time for the holidays.
Lego Marvel New Captain America Construction Figure (359 pieces) $35
This 359-piece set lets you snap together a cool action figure that stands over 11 inches tall. And even though he’s made of Lego bricks, this is a functioning action figure with multiple articulating joints. The set also comes with Captain America’s iconic shield and a few other accessories--such as a detachable Redwing drone. This’ll likely become a hot commodity ahead of the movie’s arrival in February, so snag a preorder today to guarantee it doesn’t go out of stock.

Halo Had Emotional Punch Because It Underlined Quiet Tragedy
Halo: The Master Chief Collection celebrated its 10-year anniversary on November 11, 2024. Below, take a look back at the quiet sense of loss that permeated throughout the main trilogy.
Halo: Combat Evolved opens with waking up. Halo 3 concludes with falling asleep. Between is death. It's fun, of course. It's in space and exaggerated: a holy war between Americanized space marines and zealot aliens who find a common enemy in the zombie "Flood." I don't want to pretend that Halo is anything other than a blockbuster FPS. Yet, there is something sad about it, isn't there? The Halo rings themselves are all machines of death: tools of mass eradication. But all have sunrises and sunsets, wildlife, plants, ecosystems, snowy mountains, and rocky deserts. They have the texture of life, albeit carved in with ancient tech that outlived its creators and resounding with the sound of gunfire. Master Chief wanders through it all. One man, no matter how great, enveloped in majesty and terror. The original trilogy, despite its massive scale and gigantic stakes, comes down to intimate tragedy: just a man and the ghost in his head.
It's hard to remember that Halo: Combat Evolved was stark and bare. Since its release, there have been multiple miniseries, a television show, an abandoned movie project, dozens of novels, and real-time-strategy spin-offs. It is a downright multimedia phenomenon (though not all of its projects have been successful, in terms of popularity or quality). It is a universe that has been thoroughly elaborated on, with many of its gaps plastered over.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has introduced some striking visual changes to the world of Thedas, and while the new art style has been met with mixed reception, there's one aspect of the game's aesthetic that most players seem to agree on: The hair looks really, really good.
EA and BioWare appear to share the sentiment, and have revealed the recipe for high-quality hair animations via a new blog post that examines every individual strand of The Veilguard's glorious collective locks. According to the post, each of the game's hairstyles--of which there are over 100--contain 50,000 individually rendered strands of hair. EA and BioWare credit the Frostbite engine for the high-quality results.
Frostbite has been working on realistic hair tech for a while now, but the engine's progress truly shines in Veilguard, and it's not simply due to the number of hairstyle options or the amount of hairs on each character's head--length plays a major role, too. The Veilguard features a number of waist-length hair options (curly or straight) that move in combat, realistically responding to momentum, wind, blasts of magic, changes in direction, and other variables. But getting there wasn't easy.

Sonic fans only have just over a month before the third film arrives in theaters on December 20. The threequel has Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles teaming up to take down the mysterious Shadow, voiced by Keanu Reeves. Sonic 3 also introduces Ivo Robotnik's father, Gerald, with Jim Carrey pulling double duty playing both father and son. However, director Jeff Fowler has confirmed that Shadow and Gerald won't be the only new additions.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Fowler says that continuing with a tradition set by the first Sonic movie, a new character will make a small cameo appearance at the end of Sonic 3. Although he didn't say who, deciding which character to bring in wasn't easy.
"It's fun to see the fan debates online about who's coming up next, who's going to be teased at the end of the film. We have a lot of the same conversations," Fowler said. "We've all got our favorites on the filmmaking side, and we're all making great cases for 'it should be this one or that one.' It is fun to keep that anticipation. This movie is no different in terms of teasing new characters."

While all eyes are on Monster Hunter Wilds, Capcom has unveiled a brand-new game for mobile devices (App Store and Google Play) in the franchise called Monster Hunter Outlanders. The company is teaming up with TiMi Studio Group, known for its work on Call of Duty Mobile and Pokemon Unite.
Monster Hunter Outlanders is being described as an open-world survival game, offering solo play as well as co-op for up to four people. The announcement trailer--seen below--interestingly enough doesn't showcase any combat for the title, instead focusing on mobility. The video sees a player paragliding across the map, swimming, sliding, utilizing a grappling gun, climbing a cliff, and even being shot out of a cannon-like device.
A core aspect of the Monster Hunter franchise is taking on giant creatures and then craving them up for parts to build new armor as well as weapons. Monster Hunter Outlanders will feature "the traditional hunting experience," per a press release, though this aspect isn't really shown in the debut trailer.

Following the tragic death of actor Lance Reddick in 2023, Horizon fans were curious about what the fate of his character Sylens would be. With the release of Lego Horizon Adventures this week, it has been confirmed--in that spin-off game at least--that Sylens does appear and is voiced by Star Trek Voyager actor Tim Russ.
A deuteragonist in the games, Sylens is similar to Horizon's hero Aloy in several ways, as he also explores the secret history of the world following a cataclysmic event that saw machines rise to the top of the food chain. Russ is no stranger to the Horizon series, as he'd previously played the character Jetakka in Horizon Forbidden West. In Lego Horizon Adventures, he appears as "DJ Sylens" (via IGN).
Earlier this year, Horizon developer Guerrilla said that Sylens had been recast for Lego Horizon Adventures, but it wasn't ready to share details at the time. Several of the original Horizon voice actors are also in the Lego game, including Ashly Burch as Aloy, JB Blanc as Rost, and John Macmillan as Varl. In addition to Sylens, Reddick also voiced Zavala in Bungie's Destiny games.
