At this point, it’s no secret that the iconic “King of all Monsters” won’t be the only monstrous threat in director Gareth Edwards’ upcoming Godzilla blockbuster, but the latest trailer for the film offers quite a few more shots of the massive creatures that will be wreaking havoc on various cities.
In addition to some up-close shots of Godzilla batting away fighter jets and other military vehicles like they were toys, the footage offers a nice peek at a winged monster that looks quite a bit like Rodan, the mutated pterosaur that has battled with Godzilla at various points in their cinematic history, and received its own solo film in 1956 during the height of the giant-monster craze. There are also a few shots of some gigantic, hook-like appendages that definitely don’t belong to Godzilla mashing up a road and otherwise tearing apart a city.
Compared to previous trailers, this new edit seems a bit more focused on the monsters not named Godzilla, both the threat they present and the notion that their destructive battle may play out as a result of humanity’s hubris — a theme which was well-represented in the 1954 film that started it all, Godzilla (or as it’s known outside the U.S., Gojira).
The new trailer, which was created to promote the film throughout Asia, also features Oscar-nominated Japanese actor Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai) quite prominently in his role as Ichiro Serizawa — a role that harkens back to the 1954 film. In the original Godzilla , a character named Daisuke Serizawa (played by Akihiko Hirata) played a key role in ending Godzilla’s rampage, but it’s uncertain whether Watanabe will be playing a variation of the same character or creating a link to the past as one of his heirs.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
