Andor’s first three episodes were released this week. This spy thriller shows viewers the darker corners of the Star Wars galaxy. 

A recent Power Rangers leak reveals Netflix’s plans to build a new cinematic universe out of the iconic franchise.

Rockstar also had a significant leak, showing unfinished footage of GTA 6. The gaming world unites to defend Rockstar after a slew of negative reactions.

Lastly, we discuss the rising issue of gambling on Twitch. After a streamer revealed their struggles, the community demanded Twitch takes action to stop the gambling trend. 

Netflix’s Power Rangers has a few new leaks that give us a bigger picture of the franchise’s reboot. These leaks come from Jinsakuu of Twitter and are echoed by more reputable sources like CBR. 

Here’s what we are hearing:

• The same team will be in the new movie and the follow-up series
• The same mature tone we see in the 2017 movie
• Completely new team and name, but Zardon and Alpha are likely to return
• Zord battles will be saved for big moments
• Serialized series instead of “monster of the week”
• Netflix is trying to bring back much of the original cast for supporting roles

A serialized series makes sense for Netflix and this team. It will likely feel like The Witcher; new issues arrive each episode but the primary story is a season-long arch. Jonathan Entwistle has tapped Jenny Klien to help build this new Power Rangers Cinematic Universe. Jenny previously work on Jessica Jones and The Witcher. We also see some Cobra Kai philosophy at play. They are establishing a new generation of a popular franchise while backing them up with old favorites. The new Power Rangers has a lot of Netflix DNA. With the streaming service struggling lately, these crowd-pleasing shows may be key to regaining their lost ground. 

We are talking about all the big reveals from Disney’s D23 2022. This convention shows off the upcoming projects from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and Disney Parks. We go over it all! What was your favorite announcement?

Rockstar suffered a major hack and a lot of GTA 6 was leaked. Hacker Teapot, who recently hacked Uber, breached Rockstar and stole the source code for GTA 5 and 6 plus over 3GB of internal footage from GTA 6.
The newest installment of Grand Theft Auto has been in the works for roughly 10 years and still has a couple more before release. The leaked source code is devastating. Teapot is apparently in talks with Rockstar to pay a ransom and get their source code back. As for GTA 5, Teapot is selling to the highest bidder. The successful game should fetch a high price.

Rockstar has feverishly demanded the removal of all leaked footage from YouTube and alike, making it difficult to share the content. From what we’ve seen, there are two protagonists, one being the franchise’s first woman. GTA 6 will take place in Vice City in the modern day. Many of the classic brands are back, like GTA’s social media parody Life Invader. The leaked game is not complete with a mix of finished and work-in-progress NPCs and cars.

Rockstar released a statement this morning admitting they were attacked. They state the breach will not disrupt development and live services.

As more developments are revealed, we’ll keep you updated.

New Karate Kid will be a “return of the original ‘Karate Kid’ franchise” and is expected June 7th, 2024. Sony also announces the delay of both Madame Web and Kraven the Hunter. There is no word on whether or not the new movie will be related to Netflix’s Cobra Kai.

Would you want a Karate Kid reboot, soft-reboot, or a Cobra Kai movie?

Constantine has been resurrected! DC is uniting Keanu Reeves and director Francis Lawrence to develop a sequel to 2005’s Constantine. Akiva Goldsman will be writing the new film. He produced Constantine and recently worked on the many Paramount Plus Star Trek series.

Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as John Constine. A warlock, detective, and general magical expert has run-ins with heaven and hell. In the 2005 film, he saves his soul by sacrificing himself. Death and damnation will not stop Constantine from fighting for the underdogs and keeping the powers balanced.

The once PS5 exclusive, Deathloop, is now heading to Xbox Game Pass on September 20th. The rogue-lite is also releasing a new content update called The Goldenloop, including an extended ending, new abilities, and some secrets.

Here is a list of the new content from Kotaku:

• Fugue: ability with four upgrades that intoxicates enemies, rendering them temporarily harmless
• HALPS Prototype: a rifle that fires a continuous laser beam that can ricochet off security cameras and turrets
• Paint-Bomber: an enemy that straps explosive pigment to itself and charges at you before detonating

• Masquerade upgrades: Julianna’s default ability now has four upgrades that do things like let her swap identities with more targets and automatically tag Colt when a copy is killed

• Extended ending: the devs are teasing some new secrets alongside an expanded conclusion to the story

Deathloop and The Goldenloop update will be available on September 20th on Game Pass and PS Plus Extra.
