This May 4th, GameStop is offering Star Wars fans the chance to add to their helmet collection with the Black Series 501st Clone Trooper Helmet. Fans attending Star Wars Celebration 2025 in Japan can get an up-close look at the helmet at Hasbro's booth, Hall 1, 3-7, during show floor hours.

This helmet is designed to look like a clone trooper helmet from the Ahsoka live-action series on Disney+. You can see the battle scuff marks across the blue paint. Pressing the button on the side of the helmet activates a voice changer, which will make you sound like a clone trooper. It requires three 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries (not included) and will retail for $100.

The Mario Kart World Direct revealed many of the different things players can do in its open-world Free Roam mode.

Mario Kart World's big twist on the series' core formula is that all tracks are part of an interconnected world. Free Roam mode takes advantage of that by letting players drive wherever they want within this open world, but we didn't know what else players could do in this mode until now. Around the open world, players can find P-Switches, and pressing one will start a mission. These test players' skills with challenges such as collecting blue coins or driving past obstacles to reach a goal within a time limit. A press release teases that there will be "hundreds" of missions for players to complete. If players mess up, they can rewind and try again.

Nintendo did not reveal what the reward is for completing missions, but did tease that there are hidden collectibles, including medallions and hidden panels, for players to find. Free Roam also supports online multiplayer, so players can explore with their friends and mess around with them in photo mode. It's unclear if there are multiplayer missions, but Nintendo did confirm that it will always be possible to fast travel to your friends' location on the map. Multiplayer isn't restricted to free roam, though, as Battle Mode returns.

The Outlast Trials' next major update is coming on April 22, and with it comes the game's first foray into user-generated content (UGC). The game's Trial Maker tools will let players create and share their own missions for others to play alone or in co-op. The patch comes as part of Project Relapse, which follows the story update that came on April 8, in which players could take on an attempted escape from the Murkoff Facility with the help of Amelia, a former prisoner who sought to destroy the whole operation. Spoilers: That escape goes awry, and this season is all about the game's Big Bad, Dr. Easterman, punishing players for their unruly behavior.

With that comes a new major enemy, The Jaeger, which is a remote-controlled human-machine hybrid that darkly resembles Amelia. It seems Easterman has, uh, recycled the fallen hero's image. On the topic of offensive imagery, The Outlast Trials will now let players blur its depictions of nudity, which some have requested because of how the game's plentiful genitals can sometimes get content flagged on platforms like Twitch and YouTube.

The Outlast Trials' endgame is being reimagined, too, with story reasons to make sense of the change. Ending the "Rebirth" protocol that would give player-characters their "freedom," Easterman has instead begun the Relapse Initiative, a new mechanic available to players who reach the maximum therapy level, which is increasing from 75 to 99 with Season 3. Relapse Initiative is akin to prestiging in Call of Duty. Players who take on the opportunity will reset to level 1 but will choose one of several permanent upgrades and other rewards for doing so.

We got a look at all of the different tricks and abilities players can pull off in Mario Kart World during the game's dedicated Nintendo Direct, and the standout new addition is a rewind feature that allows players to erase their mistakes.

At any time in Free Roam or while racing solo, players can rewind a couple of seconds if they messed up and get a second chance to overcome a certain obstacle or make a turn exactly how they want to. The main downside to using Rewind is that other players will still race at normal speed, so players could potentially lose a lead if they decide to use it. The fact that it can only be used when playing races solo also makes it unclear if Rewind will work in multiplayer.

Rewind's presentation in-game is fairly minimalist, as a simple undo button appears on screen as players move backward.

Rewind isn't the only helpful new trick players have been given in Mario Kart World. Charge Jump lets players leap over obstacles, rail grind, or wall ride after drifting in a straight line. Features like Smart Steering, Auto-Accelerate, Auto-Use Item, and Tilt Controls will also return in Mario Kart World, and Nintendo will release a special Joy-Con 2 Wheel peripheral to hold the Nintendo Switch 2's controllers. Players will clearly have a lot of exciting gameplay abilities at their disposal when racing on all of Mario Kart World's new courses, including its interpretation of Rainbow Road.

Nintendo provided a closer look at the upcoming Mario Kart World during the game's dedicated Nintendo Direct presentation. In addition to showcasing some of the playable characters appearing in this entry, the company shed some more light on the various outfits you can unlock for each racer.

Dotting the different race tracks around the world is a fast-food chain called Yoshi's. Drive by one of these restaurants to grab Dash Food, which will unlock a new costume for your racer when eaten. The meals and costumes you collect will be themed after the course you're in.

At Yoshi's, you can grab an order to-go! Introducing Dash Food!
In #MarioKartWorld, eating these meals can unlock outfits inspired by your meal, which you can later select from the character selection screen. Be sure to try them all! pic.twitter.com/hVuPYhmk0k

Once you've unlocked an outfit for a character, it will be a permanent addition to your roster. You can then select that specific costume while choosing a racer from the character selection screen. Nintendo hasn't confirmed how many costumes there are to collect in total, but the company teases there are "plenty of dishes and outfits to find."

While Mario Kart is known for high-speed races across over-the-top courses, head-to-head racing hasn't been the only way players could compete with one another in these games. Today, during the Mario Kart World Direct livestream, Nintendo confirmed that Battle Mode--where kart racers try to pop balloons or collect as many coins as possible--will make its return in Mario Kart World when it launches June 5.

The Mario Kart World Direct showed two returning contests that will be included in Battle Mode this round: Balloon Battle and Coin Runners. Balloon Battle is the classic Mario Kart battle format, where each racer must pop their competitors' balloons by hitting them with items, while Coin Runners sees racers compete to collect the most coins within a certain time limit.

These two minigames were the only confirmed Battle Mode options, and the presentation made no references to more potentially joining the lineup. Previous Mario Kart games featured other Battle Mode formats like Bob-omb Blast, where every item was a Bob-omb, and the first player to score a specific number of hits would win.

If your (last) wish is for a Switch 2 upgrade to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, CD Projekt Red is staying mum about granting it. Instead, the developer told Eurogamer that it's "all in on Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition" for the upcoming hybrid system.

CD Projekt Red gameplay technical design expert Filip Downar stayed mum about anything regarding an update for The Witcher 3 on Switch 2. Downar explained that when they learned about Nintendo's new console, Cyberpunk 2077 came to mind first. The sci-fi RPG was confirmed for Switch 2 at the system's Nintendo Direct earlier this month. It wasn't previously available on Switch like The Witcher 3.

"It's incredibly exciting to be a launch title for this new hardware," Downar said. "Alongside all the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive features--like motion controls, gyroscope implementation, the mouse sensor, and more--we can't wait to see how the community explores the game in new ways."

Nintendo teased that Rainbow Road will return in Mario Kart World, although it'll be unlocked in a surprising way.

The tease game partway through Mario Kart World's Nintendo Direct, as Nintendo provided an overview of all the different courses the game has to offer and its Grand Prix mode. Toward the end of this segment, the narrator teased that "if you conquer all Grand Prix cups, rumor has it that a certain colorful course will appear." As they say that, we see an object leaving behind a rainbow-colored streak flying into the air.

While Nintendo did not directly say the course's name, it's clear that Rainbow Road is what it's referring to. Rainbow Road stands as the most iconic Mario Kart course. First appearing in Super Mario Kart, it has since been reimagined for every Mario Kart game since and has a reputation for always being one of the tougher courses in the game. Typically, Rainbow Road has just been part of a four-course cup, but this time around, it looks like Rainbow Road will be the grand reward for acing Mario Kart World's Grand Prix mode.

The developer behind the recent day-one Game Pass release Atomfall has now discussed bringing the game to the subscription service and why it made sense for the company despite a risk of cannibalizing full-game sales.

Speaking to GI.biz, Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley said Microsoft was a "fantastic partner to work with," noting that the company "really leaned in" with regards to helping the studio.

Part of that help included a guaranteed payment as part of a deal between Rebellion and Microsoft to have Atomfall launch into Game Pass. "It does mitigate risk, because without going into details, they guarantee you a certain level of income, regardless of what it will sell for," Kingsley said.

League of Legends' first ever themed season, Welcome to Noxus, is about to wrap up and Riot has announced Season 2: Spirit Blossom Beyond. The next season will bring changes to the Summoner's Rift map and general gameplay, a new champion, new Spirit Blossom skins, and a brand-new game mode titled Brawl.

Spirit Blossom is already a popular skin line and recurring theme in LoL, based around Ionian myths and folklore tied to the region's Spirit Blossom festivals. Riot announced the seasonal theme with a new cinematic titled Here, Tomorrow--an anime-style animation created in partnership with The Line--set to an original track by singer-songwriter Lilas Ikuta and composer Kevin Penkin.

The music video crosses between the "real" world of Ionia and its spirit-world counterpart, featuring a number of popular champions including Ashe, Nidalee, Lux, Shen, Irelia, and Morgana. The video focuses on Xin Zhao, who is shown returning to Ionia, and seems to reveal the season's new champion, Yunara. Xin Zhao's story will be explored throughout the season with the first of two motion comics arriving on May 14, and Riot has also said to expect an in-client metagame based on the season's story.

Small Soldiers Limited Edition Steelbook on 4K Blu-ray

$25 | Releases July 22

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Walmart

When it comes to '90s movies starring talking toys, most millennials who grew up during that era would probably think of Toy Story first. And while that's totally understandable, Toy Story wasn't the only memorable movie that brought toys to life. Remember Small Soldiers? The 1998 film from Paramount hasn't had anywhere close to the lasting impact as Toy Story, but it was a fun movie in its own right. If you have nostalgia for Small Soldiers, you'll be happy to hear that it's getting a 4K Blu-ray edition with a steelbook case on July 22. Small Soldiers Limited Edition Steelbook includes 4K Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray discs as well as a voucher to claim the digital version.

At the time of writing, preorders are sold out at Walmart, but we'd recommend checking the site again, as it could be restocked at any moment. Meanwhile, Amazon has yet to open preorders, but a listing is live on the site, and you should be available to order a copy soon.

Small Soldiers Limited Edition Steelbook on 4K Blu-ray $25 | Releases July 22

For the cover, you're getting a classic showdown stare between the action figures of the Gorgonite Archer and the Commando Elite commander Chip Hazard. The interior of the case features silhouettes of the characters and the GloboTech X1000 microprocessors that turned these toys into sentient beings.

The bonus materials haven't been revealed for this 4K edition, but if it inherits the ones from the previous standard Blu-ray release, you can expect a DVD-era documentary on the making of Small Soldiers, a blooper reel, and a trailer. The 4K release also includes a standard Blu-ray disc, and it's possible that's where you'll find the bonus features.

The 4K remaster will be displayed in 2.35:1 aspect ratio, which is very close to the original 2.39:1 ratio from the 1998 release. On the audio side, Small Soldiers supports DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1.

Ubisoft is reportedly making a new battle royale game that's inspired by Apex Legends, so much so that the project once used the game as a thumbnail.

According to Insider Gaming, Ubisoft's new battle royale game is codenamed "Scout" and has been in development for a few years already. Its characters are said to be similar to Apex Legends' own Pathfinder, Wraith, and Lifeline, as well as others.

The company's higher-ups reportedly wants to take advantage of Apex Legends' dwindling player base. As a result, they are said to think that there's now an opportunity to launch another battle royale game. This is despite Ubisoft's internal research team indicating that engagement in battle royale games is on the decline.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds offers you a few different choices for the type of weapon you can use against enemies. You can go with a melee, ranged, or magic weapon, similar to how the MMO version of RuneScape operates. Right off the bat in Dragonwilds, you're given a melee weapon to use, as it's the most generic weapon type out of the three. However, the game doesn't offer you much in the way of explaining how to acquire the other two weapon types. Most notably, players are curious how they get a bow and arrow to shoot at enemies from range in RuneScape: Dragonwilds.

Below, we'll go over how to craft a bow and how to craft arrows so you have some weapon choices during combat.

A movie about the late football legend John Madden, who is also the namesake of EA's popular video game franchise, is now in the works with Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage playing the title role. The movie may be adding to its cast, with John Mulaney, Kathryn Hahn, and Sienna Miller in talks for roles, according to Deadline.

According to the report, Mulaney will play EA founder Trip Hawkins, who was instrumental in helping launch the now-juggernaut Madden series. Hahn will reportedly portray Madden's wife, Virginia. Miller is tipped for the role of the late Raiders owner Al Davis' wife, Carol. As reported previously, Oscar-winner Christian Bale will play Davis.

Oscar-nominated director David O. Russell is signed on to direct the movie, which is in the works for Amazon MGM Studios and will presumably come to Prime Video. Russell also wrote the script.

Sony has increased the price for PlayStation Plus subscriptions in Canada. This is the first price hike since September 2023 when Sony last increased prices in the region.

In an email reportedly sent to subscribers, Sony explained the price increase, saying, "The price for your current PlayStation Plus Extra 12 month subscription will be increased to CAD 189.99. This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service."

Unfortunately, Sony isn't offering any new perks for PS Plus to help offset the price increases. Still, players will have access to the PS Plus Catalog and free monthly games by subscribing to the service. It's unclear what impact tariffs may be having on these price increases, but experts have suggested that tariff-related increases won't be limited to US pricing.
