Last month, we found out the CG-animated movie Dragon Quest: Your Story would be coming to the popular streaming service Netflix.
If you’ve been looking forward to this one or need something to watch this Valentine’s Day that isn’t Sonic the Hedgehog, this might be of interest. Below is the synopsis and official announcement:
Luca follows in his father’s footsteps to rescue his mother from evil Ladja. Finding the heavenly hero who wields the Zenithian sword is his only hope.
if it sounds familiar, it’s because the film is based on Dragon Quest V, which first released on the Super Famicom and was eventually remastered for the Nintendo DS.
Will you be booting up Netflix to watch this movie? Leave a comment down below.
CoroCoro Reveals The Silhouette Of The Brand New Mythical Pokémon
Promotional artwork for Pokémon the Movie: Coco
In January, The Pokémon Company announced it would be revealing a brand new mythical pocket monster on 27th February to celebrate this year’s Pokémon Day. This special creature will not only be available in the new games Pokémon Sword and Shield but will also feature in the upcoming movie Pokémon The Movie: Coco, which is due out this July.
The silhouette of this new Pokémon was also expected to be teased in this month’s issue of CorcCoro magazine (releasing on 15th July) and Serebii.net has now managed to get an image from the magazine ahead of its release (via stream footage). For a silhouette, it’s pretty exciting:
As previously noted, this new mythical creature will be revealed later this month on 27th February. While no details are known about it, the bands / “wrappings” around its arms appear to be similar to the ones worn by the human character in the Pokémon The Movie: Coco trailer (see the image at the top of the page). It’s even got the same amount of wrappings, according to the website PokéBeach.
What do you think of this silhouette? What type of Pokémon do you think it could be? Share your thoughts below.

Final Fantasy VII Remake's Opening Cinematic Is Gorgeous And Faithful
Not making the delay to April any easier, Square Enix has revealed the opening cinematic for Final Fantasy VII Remake, just shy of two months before the game is set to release.
The opening to Final Fantasy VII is memorable, giving you a glimpse of the Midgar skyline and the oppressiveness of Shinra's establishments over the city. It's also the first time you see protagonist Cloud, as he pulls off some daring maneuvers to board a moving train and kick-off the Avalanche mission at the start of the game. The remake is incredibly faithful to the original, as you can see for yourself below.
Square Enix has been teasing Final Fantasy VII Remake extensively over the past few days. An assortment of screenshots released yesterday gave us new looks at the main cast, some initial shots of series favorites such as the Chocobo, and a glimpse at some side-quests you'll be able to undertake off the beaten path.

The game presents players with a vibrant, futuristic open world to explore, all wrapped up in a vertical cyberpunk city. There are undergound nightclubs, gardens in the sky, and much more besides, all in a rather fetching voxel graphics art style.

Your name is Rania. This is your first night working for Cloudpunk, the semi-legal delivery company based in Nivalis. Explore dense, vertical landscapes that reach high into the clouds and deep down through the ocean waves below, as you meet characters ranging from Androids and AI to unscrupulous humans at every level of society.
We also have a list of key features for you to check out:
KEY FEATURES – Explore an immense vertical cyberpunk city with your hover car and on foot – Unravel mysteries in a world of corporate conspiracy, hackers and rogue AI through the eyes of Rania – Meet a diverse range of characters and immerse yourself in their everyday lives – Your decisions will have a lasting impact on the inhabitants of Nivalis – Discover hidden places and items unlocking additional stories
We don’t have an exact release date for this one just yet, but hopefully we’ll hear more about its release in the coming weeks.

Video: Monitoring and validating world design data in Assassin’s Creed Origins
In this 2018 GDC talk, Ubisoft Montreal’s Nicholas Routhier describes how the Assassin’s Creed Origins team used a system of daily automated tests and reports to monitor, validate and visually communicate the state of world game data to the world creation team.
He gave concrete examples of how this pipeline helped the ACO team efficiently highlight errors and track regressions, freeing content creators to focus on crafting a virtual Egypt.
In addition to this presentation, the GDC Vault and its accompanying YouTube channel offers numerous other free videos, audio recordings, and slides from many of the recent Game Developers Conference events, and the service offers even more members-only content for GDC Vault subscribers.
Those who purchased All Access passes to recent events like GDC or VRDC already have full access to GDC Vault, and interested parties can apply for the individual subscription via a GDC Vault subscription page. Group subscriptions are also available: game-related schools and development studios who sign up for GDC Vault Studio Subscriptions can receive access for their entire office or company by contacting staff via the GDC Vault group subscription page.
For all we know about Matt Reeves's upcoming DC film, The Batman, there's still a ton of mystery surrounding it. Yes, Robert Pattinson will be playing Bruce Wayne, Zoe Kravitz will be Selina Kyle, Collin Farrell will play The Penguin--but beyond the star-studded cast, the details have been kept extremely vague. The slow drip of information continues to trickle in and the latest is test footage for the movie. Reeves took to Twitter to share the video, giving us our first look at Pattinson in full costume, and our first glimpse at what we can expect from the brand new Bat Suit.
The Batman is expected to take a more detective-focused look into the world of the Dark Knight, pitting Bruce Wayne against not only The Penguin and Catwoman, but The Riddler (Paul Dano) tool. Joining Dano, Farrell, Pattinson, and Kravitz will be Andy Serkis as Batman's faithful butler, Alfred Pennyworth. Westworld actor Jeffery Wright has also been in talks to take the role of Commissioner Gordon.
We can't be sure where or how The Batman will connect to the rest of the DCEU, or if it will remain a completely disconnected alternate universe similar to Joker--but one thing is definitely certain: The new costume looks absolutely incredible. The Bat logo on the chest seems to be made of fragmented metal, the shoulders look heavily armored, and the cowl looks like it may have already seen some battle damage, which could indicate that we'll be joining the Caped Crusader well into his superhero journey, rather than at the very start.
