There was a 22-year gap between the first Jumanji, and its 2017 sequel, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. So a seven-year gap between the third film, 2019’s Jumanji: The Next Level, and the fourth movie isn’t that bad by comparison. Now, Sony has set the date for the next Jumanji… which it’s listing as “Jumanji 3″for now.
Jumanji 3 will hit theaters on December 11, 2026. It’s more than likely that the film’s final title will forgo the 3 altogether, just as The Next Level was released without a 2 in its name. And while there are no other films listed as opening that weekend, Sony has chosen a date that’s only a week before Dune Messiah and an untitled Star Wars movie. Given the lack of Star Wars movies in the last five years, it won’t be shocking if that untitled Star Wars film is …
While Kena: Bridge of Spirits’ central narrative is already quite appropriate for Halloween on its own, the action-adventure game has added a mini Halloween scavenger hunt as part of its latest patch–along with the usual fixes and tweaks you may expect from a recently released title.
The new Halloween content consists of three new Halloween-themed hats hidden throughout the game, which will only be around until November 1. The seasonal addition only adds to a game that is already perfect to pick up over the Halloween weekend, with its tragic story of an abandoned village beset by corrupted spirits.

After GameStop raised over $500 million earlier this year by selling off some of its surprisingly valuable shares, it looks like the company has decided to invest some of that money back into a program involving NFTs. GameStop quietly launched the GameStop NFT homepage today, which prominently links to an Ethereum address, and also appears to involve a recruitment drive.
The page doesn’t include much information other than the Ethereum link, and GameStop doesn’t appear to have prepared a media release about the launch either. The page is headlined “change the game,” followed by a graphic reading: “Power to the players. Power to the creators. Power to the collectors.”

Madelyn Cline, star of Netflix’s teen drama Outer Banks, has become the latest addition into the ever-growing ensemble cast for Knives Out 2, according to Deadline. That the sequel is drafting someone from a Netflix series is unsurprising, given that Netflix acquired Knives Out 2 and 3 for a reported $465 million.
Cline joins Kate Hudson (Kung Fu Panda 3), Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision), Dave Bautista (Army of the Dead), Janelle Monáe (Homecoming), Edward Norton (Fight Club), and Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton) in a cast bursting with big names. Daniel Craig’s detective character, Benoit Blanc, will be returning as well.
Although no plot details are known–including whether knives will even indeed be unsheathed–it is assumed that the massive list of names will, …
Lost Ark is set to receive its first content update since launch soon, with new islands to explore, a new story questline, and the game’s first Abyss Raid set to come to Amazon’s free-to-play MMORPG in March.

Players will need to complete main quests in Yorn as well as Whispering Islet and Illusion Bamboo Island to access the new endgame quests. An item level of 1100 is recommended for new content like Isteri island.

The Lord of the Rings Online has introduced two new servers, and they have the best, most appropriate names. The new servers are called Shadowfax and Treebeard, while developer Standing Stone Games is also rolling out new difficulty options.
