Shigeru Miyamoto himself revealed the actors behind the iconic characters in a social media post this week. We won’t see the movie for another two years, but it’ll be interesting to see how Nintendo navigates its way through the silver screen. The company tends to be careful with how it represents its IPs, but there’s a lot of risk with a live-action video game adaptation.

Like, what will bokoblins look like? Should we expect animation mixed in, like the Minecraft movie? Will this be better than the infamous ‘90s Mario Bros. live-action movie? And will Link actually say any words?

Hopefully all those questions and more will be answered when the movie comes out in May 2027.

If you’re in or near the 5 cities listed in our story linked above, you’ll have a chance to see Critical Role perform live next year. Each show will be a one-shot campaign, so you don’t need to have caught up if you’re still working through some series.

It’s a good time to be a tabletop actual-play fan, considering Dimension 20 has also been on tour this summer. And for Critical Role fans specifically, there’s more exciting news. Many cast members will be in Dead Take, a psychological horror game that comes out in about two weeks.

Perhaps most exciting to me is that there are specific tips here for crafting a memorable character, which seems like a response to the success of actual-play show.

A majority of these layoffs will be in Asia, though a sizable group is based in Europe as well. Just as a reminder, this is after the exciting “surprise” launch of Oblivion Remastered. A sense of deja vu is Hi-Fi Rushing over me.

This is also off the heels of pay-raise freezes and bonus reductions at Virtuos, which still needs to ship the Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater remake next month. Morale is, understandably, tanking, and the shift toward generative AI isn’t helping either.

In the latest he-said-she-said of the Krafton situation with Unknown Worlds, the studio’s co-founders have posted a redacted version of their lawsuit to Krafton.
