News - Pokemon Winds And Waves, The 10th Generation Of Pokemon, Officially Revealed
The next set of mainline pocket monster games--Pokemon Winds and Waves--have been officially revealed during today's Pokemon Presents livestream, and they will launch worldwide in 2027 exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2.
The announcement trailer for the tenth generation of Pokemon games unveiled multiple biomes in the new unnamed region, including tropical beaches with palm trees, rugged cliffsides with massive windmills, and more. The trailer also teased underwater exploration, which would be a first for a mainline Pokemon game.
We also got to meet the starter Pokemon for this new generation: Grass-type Browt, Fire-type Pombon, and Water-type Gecqua. Browt is a small bird with pronounced eyebrows, Pombon is a small dog with a large tuft of hair around its face, and Gecqua is a blue gecko with large (and adorable) eyes.

News - Former Xbox Exec Peter Moore Weighs In On New CEO Asha Sharma
Former Xbox executive Peter Moore has weighed in on the big news recently that Asha Sharma has been named the new CEO of Microsoft Gaming.
Speaking to GamesBeat, Moore said Sharma "just needs to listen, learn" to begin her journey as the leader of Xbox. More said working alongside Xbox chief content officer Matt Booty will be a benefit to Sharma as well. He added that outgoing CEO Phil Spencer had great success visiting the Xbox development teams globally to learn "what it takes to manage creative heads and entrepreneurs," and Sharma would be smart do so something similar.
"I wish her all the best. She's in a position right now where--keep your head down. Fly low. Avoid the radar. Learn, listen. Spend a lot of time internally," he said. "Travel the world. Meet with the studio heads. Do the classic listening tour, which a lot of executives do. I think she'll be fine."
Fairy tale movies aren't seen often in Hollywood, but when one does roll around, it's usually a charming flick full of adventure, romance, and magic. Stardust is a great example, and if you missed out on the movie when it first hit theaters in 2007, you can grab the new 4K Blu-ray version for $32.49 ahead of its release on April 28, or if you want something fancier, Best Buy still has the 2024 4K steelbook edition in stock for $35.65.
This new edition of Stardust also includes the film and its special features on a standard Blu-ray disc, as well as a digital streaming code for the movie. The cover and protective slipcase keep things simple by reusing the Stardust theatrical poster, and for special features, this release has inherited all the bonus materials from the previous Blu-ray release. That's a fair amount of extra content, like an informative audio commentary track with director Matthew Vaughn and writer Jane Goldman, a five-part documentary detailing the making of Stardust, and several behind-the-scenes featurettes.
News - Arc Raiders Players Are Seeing UFOs In The Sky
As if Arc Raiders players didn't have enough to worry about in the game, there are apparently UFOs in the sky now. A handful of Arc Raiders players have reported seeing the silhouette of a large ship in the clouds, but so far, only a Reddit user called Bewarden captured the incident in a video.
The ship appears to be massive, but there's no indication yet if it's confirmation of aliens in this world. It's not nothing, but we can't say for certain what it is until developer Embark Studios lets players have a closer look.
This glimpse of the unknown occurred after the newly released Shrouded Sky update. That brought new enemies hurricanes into the game. There's also a limited-time event called the Weather Monitoring System project, which is currently running through March 31. GameSpot has already run through the steps and rewards in that event, and it didn't say anything about our new friends in the sky.

News - A Kingdom Come Movie Is Now In The Works
Daniel Vavra, an industry veteran known for the Mafia and Kingdom Come franchises, has announced he is changing roles at his company, Warhorse Studios, and will now focus on helping to make a Kingdom Come film.
Following Czech media reports, Vavra himself confirmed that the news is true. He jokingly added that the "gaming world is finally saved from my controversies." That is likely a reference to Vavra's comments in the past about GamerGate and "historical accuracy" in video games with respect to depictions of diversity. More recently, Vavra spoke enthusiastically about generative AI, which led to further controversy.
Warhorse CEO Martin Frývaldský told CzechCrunch that Vavra "made three games that were a global success; he has been wanting to try something different for a long time."

News - New Game About Monster Politicians Somehow Less Evil Than The Real Thing
The Fractured Kingdom is holding an election in Cavalier Game Studios' new card-based roguelike Prime Monster. This nation has a three-party system that lets players choose between Viscount Sucksworth of the Vampiric Victory party, Orcs-4-U representative Chopper Badstone, and The Zombified People's Movement's prime shuffler, Rotilda De Cay. They're all monsters here, and there's no promise too outrageous for them to make in order to gain political power.
The demo for Prime Monster is out now on Steam, and the cards let players unleash every dirty trick in the book. Murder isn't out of the question, but why kill your political opponent when you can smear their good name and ruin their reputation? Some fates are worse than death for these mostly dead creatures.
Cavalier Game Studios is going for political satire with some of the available initiatives, including calls for same-hex marriage and demands to release the nosferatu files. And rather than discouraging players from making false promises to the electorate, Prime Monster rewards them for lying. The more outlandish the promise, the more likely it is to keep you in power. These voters are pretty gullible, and they don't seem to mind voting for the greater evil.
