After a quick teaser during the September Nintendo Direct, a new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy movie has been revealed. The sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie is scheduled to be released on April 3, 2026, and it once again features the vocal talents of the 2023 film's cast, including Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, and Jack Black as Bowser.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a big hit at the box office, taking in over $1.36 billion globally during its run and becoming the biggest video game movie ever. Not just commercially successful, the film earned positive reviews and Jack Black's "Peaches" song became a viral earworm for a few months as well. One of the new additions to the film will be Yoshi, as a Pillsbury box recently leaked a first look at Mario's fan-favorite dinosaur pal.

Next year and beyond is shaping up to be a busy time for video game adaptations, as we'll also see a live-action adaptation of Silent Hill 2 hit the big screen on January 23, 2026. Filming is also underway on the Zach Cregger-directed Resident Evil movie, and Mortal Kombat 2 is out on May 8, 2026.

It is understood that Sony and Microsoft are working on new console platforms--the PS6 and next Xbox--but when might they be released? According to Piers Harding-Rolls, the research director for games at Ampere Analysis, these new consoles could launch later than expected due to the GTA 6 delay. This could happen, but it's not what Ampere expects.

He told GI.biz that the delay of GTA 6 will have a "significant impact on console sales dynamics in 2026." This is because, with GTA 6 now coming in November 2026 instead of May 2026, console sales will be "even more back-loaded" than normal. How does the GTA 6 delay impact the next-generation console release dates? Harding-Rolls said his company is modeling the new systems to launch in late 2027, but that could change if the platform-holders want to squeeze more juice out of GTA 6.

"Might the console companies be tempted to get more from the current console generation by riding the GTA 6 wave and waiting until 2028? The fact that games are now cross-gen makes this less of a factor, perhaps, but such is the size of the GTA franchise, the launch timing will get all areas of the games business thinking about their product strategies," he explained.

Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has gone on record to say he is surprised that Microsoft has not yet "fully embraced" the Switch 2 when it comes to releasing games for it.

Speaking to The Game Business, Fils-Aime said, "Certainly some games could easily be ported over to Switch 2. And I'm surprised that we haven't seen more of that."

He added: "I thought there would be much more, especially during this timeframe leading into the holiday."

Remember when we thought Elden Ring Nightreign's DLC would launch by the end of March 2026? Well, developer From Software said that's way too long and announced that the roguelike/souls-like's next add-on content, The Forsaken Hollows, hits consoles and PC on December 4. Happy holidays, you Nightfarers.

The Japanese developer made the announcement during PlayStation's State of Play livestream on November 11. The trailer, which made its way onto publisher Bandai Namco's official X account, isn't that long. But it does reveal two new playable characters, a new Shifting Earth event, and some new enemies.

In our war against the Night, every battle left a scar.
These wounds were given will. A foul life, born of cast-away souls.
Steel your resolve, Nightfarers. This hunt must be seen to its end.#ELDENRING #NIGHTREIGN The Forsaken Hollows launches on December 4, 2025. pic.twitter.com/q7WB94urfh

Following its reveal, From Software marketing representative Miku Watanabe took to the PlayStation Blog to break down The Forsaken Hollows a bit more.

Capcom has announced a new collaboration with KFC in Japan, themed around Monster Hunter Wilds. Starting on November 19, KFC branches will sell two limited-edition meals with unique packaging and codes for in-game items redeemable in Monster Hunter Wilds.

The packaging shows off art of a Felyne partner that accompanies players in Monster Hunter Wilds (via VGC), with the little critter cosplaying as KFC icon Colonel Sanders--complete with a trendy outfit and facial hair. The Feast Set comes with codes for a Luxury Ingredient Set of campfire cooking ingredients and the KFC Colonel Sanders Felyne charm, while the Spice Up Set includes a Hunting Item Set of consumable items and a KFC Barrel Felyne Charm. Upgrading a meal from standard to large will also get a themed sticker set.
