The Mandalorian’s first season finished strong with Chapter 8, “Redemption”. Let’s break down some key Star Wars references from the episode that you need to know more about, including connections to The Clone Wars. from GameSpot - All Content https://ift.tt/2tnj0Re

While we don't know what Star Wars stories will be told on the big screen in the future, Disney CEO Bob Iger has hinted at what the future of the franchise could potentially include. With the first season of The Mandalorian ending on the Disney+ streaming service, it's entirely possible it or any of the service's upcoming Star Wars offerings could wind up becoming movies. "I don't look at it as just television, I look at it as an extension of Star Wars storytelling," Iger said during an appearance on The Star Wars Show [via Slashfilm ]. "What Disney+ has given us the ability to do is to do just that, is to bring Star Wars to people in new ways, and to bring new Star Wars to people. It's not the same places or the same characters. Just look at Mandalorian. While, obviously, there's a lot shared, there's a lot that's really fresh, and I love that." And while Disney+ is allowing new corners of the Star Wars galaxy to be explored, Ig

Fortnite 's Winterfest event is almost over, but there's still a little time left to complete its challenges and unlock special holiday-themed rewards. One task that may pose a bit of trouble, particularly if you don't know where to look, is to destroy snowflake decorations . If you need help finding those, we've put together this guide explaining where to go. Where Are The Snowflake Decorations? Unlike ice boxes , which you need to track down to complete a separate Winterfest challenge, the snowflake decorations are much more difficult to spot because they're small and typically hanging in windows, so it's easy to overlook them. However, the decorations are fairly plentiful, and you only need to destroy three of them to complete the challenge, so you shouldn't have too much trouble tracking the required number down once you know where to look. As previously mentioned, the snowflake decorations are typically hanging on different houses, which can be found

Star Wars: The Mandalorian Funko Pops Season 1 of The Mandalorian ended last week on Disney Plus, but don't worry, Mando and our favorite son Baby Yoda will return in Fall 2020 for a second season . In the meantime, Mandalorian fans can look forward to a new wave of Funko Pops based on characters from the show. The first wave of Pops was small and launched near the series premiere. Up until now, Mandalorian fans have only been able to purchase a generic Mando, Cara Dune, Kuiil, and the IG-11 droid . The second wave expands the roster significantly, adding 14 new Pops, four of which are retailer exclusives. Baby Yoda isn't featured in the new wave, but an adorable Baby Yoda Pop (including a super-sized version) is already available for pre-order. While none of the new Pops are currently available for pre-order, we imagine you won't have to wait long to start adding to your collection. We'll add pre-order links as soon as they're available at major retailers. Fo

The intro movie for the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo has leaked, and it will look awfully familiar to long-time fans of the classic RPG. The PS4 version is almost a shot-for-shot remake of the original PlayStation version, with a few notable changes. Like the original, it opens with Aeris viewing wisps of lifestream energy through a grate in the city of Midgar. She walks away--this time seemingly spooked by approaching footsteps--and steps out into the bustling street. One addition to this version is that she drops some of her flowers, and one gets ignobly stepped on by a passer-by, but otherwise the rest remains very faithful. The camera pans back to show a wide shot of Midgar accompanied by the logo, and then pulls back in to show Cloud and his companions staging their attack from a train. The leaked movie also shows a demo title screen with options, and the moment when control reverts to the player. It wasn't released through any official PlayStation or Square Enix channel

We're in the final stretch of Fortnite 's Winterfest event, which means you only have a few days left to complete the limited-time Winterfest challenges and unlock some festive rewards. One of the holiday-themed missions asks you to search ice boxes , but unless you're well acquainted with the game's map, you may have some trouble tracking them down. If you fall in that camp, don't worry; we've put together this map and guide to help you out. Where Are The Ice Box Locations? To complete this challenge, you'll need to search two different ice boxes. This may seem daunting at first if you don't already know where to look given the size of the island, but fortunately, there are many more than that scattered around the map, so tracking down two shouldn't be too difficult. We've marked down the ice box locations we've encountered on the map below: Fortnite ice box locations Dirty Docks East of Pleasant Park Sweaty Sands West of Holly Hed

Steam has announced the winners of its community-voted Steam Awards , including the winners of both Game of the Year and VR Game of the Year. The Steam Awards also make a habit of giving out less traditional awards, including accolades for games that weren't released this year. The big winner is Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice as the 2019 Game of the Year. Beat Saber won VR Game of the Year. Other winners from 2019 include A Plague Tale: Innocence for Outstanding Story-Rich Game, My Friend Pedro for Innovative Gameplay, Mortal Kombat 11 for Best Game You Suck At, and Gris for Outstanding Visual Style. Steam also includes some esoteric awards for ongoing games. This year that included the Labor of Love award for best long-term nurturing, which went to Grand Theft Auto 5 for the second year in a row . Plus, DayZ earned the Better With Friends award. Sekiro has been named Game of the Year by multiple awards, including The Game Awards and GameSpot's Best of 2019 . Check below

Nintendo saw huge success when it released miniature versions of the SNES and NES a few years ago, and Sony soon followed up with its PlayStation Classic in 2018. To get in on the trend, Sega released its own nostalgia console just a few months ago. The Sega Genesis Mini (or Mega Drive Mini, as it's called in Europe) released September 19 for $80, the same price as the SNES Classic at launch but with twice the number of games. It was a reasonable price to start with, but if you've been holding out on the Genesis Mini, you might want to snag it today: The mini system is just $35 at GameStop as a Deal of the Day. That's a full $15 cheaper than it was during Black Friday. The GameStop listing is a bit misleading--at first glance, it looks like a new Genesis Mini is going for $50, while a pre-owned system will cost you $35. However, just add the new system to your cart, and you should see the $35 price during checkout. It also comes with free shipping. This is an online-onl

Destiny 2 's holiday event, The Dawning, is still in full swing, asking you to bake treats for various characters throughout the solar system in order to complete bounties and fix up a special holiday sparrow. This year's Dawning adds more characters to the rotation of people you need to bring cookies to, including a few villainous characters--like Riven of a Thousand Voices, the final boss of the Last Wish raid. If you're still figuring out how to create all the confections, check out our complete Destiny 2 Dawning recipe guide .

Pokemon Go is ringing in the new year with a bunch of events , the first of which kicks off this week. Starting January 2, the egg-centric Hatchathon event returns, giving you a chance to earn extra bonuses and hatch a few special Pokemon for a limited time. Throughout the Hatchathon, you'll be able to earn extra Stardust, Rare Candies, and other rewards like the Unova Stone when you walk certain distances. The Unova Stone is a particularly enticing reward as it is typically hard to come by in the game and is necessary to evolve certain Gen 5 Pokemon such as Lampent. On top of that, Serebii reports that you'll earn twice the usual amount of Candy and Stardust each time you hatch a Pokemon, and you'll have a chance to hatch party hat-wearing versions of Pichu and Wurmple from 2 km eggs. Party hat Pikachu will also spawn in the wild, while party hat Raticate and Wobbuffet will appear in two-star Raids. The Hatchathon runs until 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET on January 16. You can r

Nioh proved a fantastic iteration of the massively popular Souls-like genre. At the same time, it marked a return for its developer, Team Ninja, who struggled for years to create an action game experience that rivaled the quality of its work on the original Ninja Gaiden . In 2020, the studio is looking to continue that success by releasing Nioh 2 . The upcoming sequel looks to improve upon the first in a variety of ways, as well as change things up. Below we've compiled everything we know about Nioh 2, including its release date, story details, how its combat is changing, and a lot more.

Nine movies and 42 years later, the Skywalker Saga has come to a close with the recent theatrical release of Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker . To commemorate the end of an era, Best Buy is releasing a massive, 27-disc box set that includes all nine films in 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and digital. A release date for the pricey $250 collection hasn't been revealed, but it's available to pre-order now . The Skywalker Saga box set comes with all nine mainline Star Wars movies. See at Best Buy As you can tell by the image above, the collection comes in a black box displaying the Death Star. Inside the box, you'll find a fold-out case containing 27 discs. Each of the nine movies will have a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray disc, which accounts for 18 of the discs. While Best Buy hasn't listed specific details about the collection, it's safe to assume that each movie will also get its own bonus disc full of special features. Hopefully at least some of the special fea

A new event is now underway in Pokemon Sword and Shield . Much like the games' recent holiday event , which brought an influx of Delibird to Max Raid dens for a brief period of time, this New Year event only runs for a few days and stars another seemingly useless Pokemon: Magikarp. While this event may not initially sound exciting, what makes it special is that you have a much greater chance of encountering a Shiny Magikarp in Max Raids. Shiny Pokemon are exceedingly rare in Pokemon games, and any Shiny Magikarp you evolve will retains its special coloration, making this a good opportunity to add a few Shiny Gyarados to your collection. There's another incentive to take on any Magikarp Raids you come across: You'll receive a ton of nuggets when you defeat or capture the Pokemon. These items can be sold for high prices at Poke Marts, allowing you to start the year off with some extra in-game pocket change. As previously mentioned, the New Year Max Raid event only runs for

The indie hit Untitled Goose Game has crossed a million copies sold, according to Panic. The milestone came just a couple of weeks after the game hit PS4 and Xbox One, having originally debuted on PC (via Epic) and Switch. The publisher marked the announcement with a heartfelt thanks to fans. "It seems impossible, but last week, three months after launch, Untitled Goose Game passed one million copies sold," said Cabel Sasser on Twitter . "From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for playing our videogame. The reaction was beyond anything we could have imagined. The fan art, the writing, yes the memes, protest signs, Chrissy Teigen, Muppets?! It feels once-in-a-lifetime. We hope we brought some joy into your life, because you brought so much into ours." Untitled Goose Game originally launched in September, and its silly sense of humor and unlikely protagonist--a horrible goose--quickly became a popular meme. As Sasser referenced, it spawned a wide array of fan art

Christmas has come and gone, which means this year's biggest sales are officially behind us. But while Black Friday may have brought some of the best gaming deals of 2019, gamers looking to pick up Respawn's brand-new Star Wars game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order , were limited to Xbox One bundles and a slight discount on the Deluxe edition. If you held off on picking this game up during Black Friday or if you received a new PS4 or Xbox One for Christmas, you're in luck, as the standard edition just hit its lowest price yet in Amazon's big year-end sale . Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has an initial discount of $45 right now, down from the usual $60. To sweeten the deal, Amazon is offering an additional $11.25 off the price, which drops your total cost to $33.74.

Sony's Uncharted film adaptation has incurred an unexpected setback. Travis Knight , who signed on to helm the project in September 2019, will no longer direct Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg , according to a new report. Deadline states that Holland's work with the next Spider-Man installment has caused scheduling conflicts with Knight. As a result, Knight has been pushed out of the director role and the film will receive a brand-new release date. Uncharted was scheduled to hit theatres on December 18, 2020. Sony still plans to move the film forward with a new director, but an announcement on who will lead the project has not been made. Knight, an animator at stop-motion studio Laika, made his live-action directorial debut with 2018's Bumblebee. Knight has also worked on 2009's Coraline, 2012's Paranorman, 2014's The Boxtrolls, 2016's Kubo and the Two Strings, and more. Uncharted would've served as Knight's fifth directorial project. 2019 marked a

We've spent the last few weeks looking back at some of the best games of 2019 , but now it's time to look ahead at what the new year has in store, and it seems 2020 is already shaping up to be another exciting year for gaming. Both Sony and Microsoft will launch new next-generation consoles during the holidays, but in the meantime, there are plenty of big-name titles on the way to current systems. While most of 2020's biggest releases are still a few months away, there are a handful of major games on the way to each platform in the first month of the new year. Bandai Namco's Dragon Ball RPG, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot , hits PS4, Xbox One, and PC on January 17, while Switch gets a port of the underrated Wii U RPG, Tokyo Mirage Sessions , on the same day. This month also sees the PC release of Monster Hunter World 's acclaimed Iceborne expansion, as well as Blizzard's anticipated Warcraft III remaster. Those are only a few of the games on the way next month. You c
