The Sony Pictures live-action The Legend of Zelda movie will be exclusive to Netflix following its theatrical run, Netflix and Sony Pictures have announced as part of a larger deal.

Others include The Nightingale, Buds, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-verse, and the new Beatles movies from director Sam Mendes.

Deadline reported that Sony also considered making a deal with Amazon, but "Netflix stepped up." The report said the value of the deal is $7 billion, but neither Netflix nor Sony confirmed this.

The Italian Competition Authority is investigating Activision Blizzard over claims that the mobile games Diablo Immortal and Call of Duty Mobile engage in "misleading and aggressive practices."

The watchdog said the games are structured in such a way to encourage people to "play more often, extend their gaming sessions, and take up promoted offers" through "the possible use of deceptive user-interface design."

"Examples include repeated prompts, both during and outside gameplay, urging users not to miss out on rewards--also through in-app messages and push notifications--as well as to purchase time-limited items before they become unavailable," the group said.

Are you eager to unlock Lego furniture in Animal Crossing: New Horizons? Dozens of items consisting of your favorite building blocks -- or is it bricks? -- can now be found in the game. That said, you need to be mindful of your spending, too, as we outline in this guide.

Find all of our guides on Nintendo's beloved life sim, including those on the 3.0 update, in our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guides hub.

Where to find Lego items for sale

The Lego items in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be found in the Nook Stop terminal's wares. Unlike the Zelda Amiibo and Splatoon Amiibo items, you don't need any Amiibo or Amiibo cards to unlock the Lego cosmetics. However, you need to make sure that you've already downloaded and installed the free 3.0 update. The correct version should appear in the upper-right corner of the main menu screen.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons' big 3.0 update has finally arrived, introducing a slew of new content to the long-dormant life sim. On top of a brand-new island facility, a hotel run by Kapp'n's family, the update has added a wealth of items to collect, including Splatoon-themed furniture. However, you won't find it in your catalog right away.

Like the Sanrio crossover items that were introduced in the game's 1.9.0 update, the Splatoon items are locked behind Amiibo, which means you'll first need to scan a compatible figure before you can purchase the new furniture in the game. Fortunately, it's very simple. Here's a rundown on how to get the new Splatoon furniture. Don't forget to also check out our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide hub for more helpful guides.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons' big 3.0 update has introduced a wealth of new content to life sim, including a slew of new items to collect. Along with a set of Lego furniture, you can now get clothing and other items based on Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series--but they won't be available right away.

Unlike the Super Mario crossover items, the new Zelda furniture is tied to certain Amiibo. The same is true for select Splatoon Amiibo. You'll need to have a compatible figure before you can get your hands on the items in the game. Fortunately, it's an easy process. Here's a rundown on how to unlock the Zelda furniture. If you're just getting started--or are just returning to your island after a long hiatus--then be sure to check out our Animal Crossing: New Horizons guide hub for more helpful guides.

Actor Walton Goggins has shared new insight into his mental state for the newest season of Prime Video's Fallout TV show, saying he felt completely wiped out after making The White Lotus and The Righteous Gemstones, and this actually helped his performance in Fallout.

This story contains spoilers for Fallout.

Speaking to Decider, Goggins said there is a moment in Episode 5, "The Wrangler," when his character, Cooper Howard, has "nothing left" and has "no control over his environment and doesn't understand what's happening in the world in real time." As it turned out, Goggins himself felt "the same way," he said.

"We filmed that day the morning after the premiere of The White Lotus; I had about three hours of sleep. I just had nothing left in the tank; it was exactly where I needed to be for that day," he said.

When will The Division 3 be released?

Ubisoft has not announced a release date for The Division, or even a year. This information should come into focus in due course, but it remains to be seen when that could happen.

Ubisoft announced The Division 3 back in 2023. At the time, the company said it was "actively building a team" for the game, suggesting the announcement might have been more of an effort to recruit staff. Companies are known to announce games early on with little detail in an effort to encourage people to come work for the company.

Massive Entertainment has announced that Julian Gerighty, the executive producer for The Division at Ubisoft, is leaving the company to join Battlefield Studios.

"While we'll miss him, his mark will live on at Massive and we'll continue to bring the world he's been part of creating to our players for years to come," Ubisoft said.

Ubisoft also told fans, "don't worry" about Gerighty leaving. "Our teams who built this world with Julian are still here, carrying it forward with an ambitious, unchanged commitment for the future of The Division 2, The Division 2: Survivors, The Division Resurgence, and The Division 3," the developer said.

When Madden NFL 27 arrives later this year, there will be nine new coaches roaming the sidelines for the 32 teams. Technically, a few of these won't necessarily be new altogether, as John Harbaugh goes from the Baltimore Ravens to New York Giants after being fired from the former. But undoubtedly, there will be at least a handful of first-timers with the amount of vacancies--equating to over a third of all organizations.

EA Sports has incorporated features like Coach DNA and Coach Speak into the Madden NFL series, so your team's coach can affect your in-game experience. They also have their own playsheets, too. So, for fans of the Ravens or Pittsburgh Steelers (Mike Tomlin stepped away), they should expect notable differences with whomever their teams hire when Madden NFL 27 launches. Harbaugh and Tomlin were also two of the longest-tenured coaches in the NFL, starting in 2008 and '07, respectively.
