Star Wars Celebration is this week, which meant we HAD to get a trailer for The Last Jedi, and boy did we. Unveiled at the end of the panel for the film, we now have our first good look at the next episode in the Star Wars Saga.

The trailer plays very much like the trailer for The Force Awaken that was released two years ago at Celebration in Anaheim. While that trailer was more about getting us back into the universe of Star Wars and highlighting characters new and old, this is about what’s next. The biggest take away are the glimpses of Rey training with Luke and starting to learn her potential. One of the best shots could almost be described as Karate Kid: The Star Wars edition, just swap out the beach and crane kick for a cliffside and a lightsaber.

It didn’t hold back on any action, with teases of the all out war that is now taking place between The First Order and The Resistance. The two main ones being a massive space battle and a group of speeders barreling towards a group of, what looks to be, First Order walkers.

But, there are still teases abound about the more important story points as well, both around Luke. The first looks like it could be a flashback to when Kylo Ren turned against him and destroyed the new Jedi Academy. The biggest, though, is Luke’s line at the end of the trailer, saying that “it’s time for the Jedi…to end.” Very fitting, given the title, but what could he mean?

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
