Today, Disney unveiled a brand-new trailer, poster and images for “TRON: Ares,” the highly anticipated third installment in the groundbreaking “TRON” franchise, opening in theaters on October 10.
Grammy®-award winning rock band Nine Inch Nails composed the score for “TRON: Ares,” and today, the band dropped “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” —the soundtrack album’s first single and the first official music from the band in five years. Listen to “As Alive As You Need Me To Be” and view the visualizer HERE. The track is featured in the new trailer for “TRON: Ares.”
“TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack),” featuring all original music by Nine Inch Nails, will be released on September 19 via Interscope Records. The release marks the first-ever film score by the pioneering band, although bandmates Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have composed 20 scores under their own names, winning two Oscars®, three Golden Globes®, a GRAMMY® and an Emmy® in the process.
“TRON: Ares” follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.
The feature film is directed by Joachim Rønning and stars Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, with Gillian Anderson, and Jeff Bridges. Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Jared Leto, Emma Ludbrook and Steven Lisberger are the producers, with Russell Allen serving as executive producer.
SunDust, a label of German publisher Toplitz Productions is excited to announce the release date for Wild West Supermarket Simulator.
The store simulation will be entering its Early Access phase on Steam on August 7, 2025 and puts you in charge of a rundown store in an almost deserted ghost town of the Wild West. You have to prove your business acumen and bring not only the granddaddy of modern supermarkets back to life, but the town itself. With each success the city will be filled with life – and more customers.
After a successful run during the last Steam Next Fest, where the demo could garner a positive review score of 88%, the Early Access version is building on the solid foundation from the demo experience and the collected community feedback – but adding bucketloads of fresh content.
Work your way up from humble beginnings and eventually offer 70 products from dried goods and bread up to fresh produce and meat or tools as well as equipment to your hopefully growing number of patrons. Cater to the ever-changing demands of your customers, react to events like a drought or changing economic environments impacting the wholesale prices as well as your income. Adjust prices on the go and walk the narrow line between affordability and profit. Unlock more features and items as you level up your store. Decorate, upgrade, renovate and customize not only your store, but also your homestead overlooking the town.
Participate in exciting minigames like the tomahawk throwing contest or the shooting range to unlock new licences for your ever-growing store. Hire helpers to work the cash register, organize your storage or restock the shelves according to your specs. Watch the town come back to life, as the success of your store brings new customers into town.

The fall of 1987. Hawkins is scarred by the opening of the Rifts, and our heroes are united by a single goal: find and kill Vecna. But he has vanished — his whereabouts and plans unknown. Complicating their mission, the government has placed the town under military quarantine and intensified its hunt for Eleven, forcing her back into hiding. As the anniversary of Will’s disappearance approaches, so does a heavy, familiar dread. The final battle is looming — and with it, a darkness more powerful and more deadly than anything they’ve faced before. To end this nightmare, they’ll need everyone — the full party — standing together, one last time.

Critical Role, a leader in innovative storytelling, today announced a slate of global live shows for 2026. The Echoes of Exandria tour will bring brand-new Exandrian one-shots to fans in Atlanta, Berlin, Edinburgh, London, and Fort Worth between May and December.

2025 marks Critical Role’s tenth anniversary, capping a decade of immersive programming, critically-acclaimed animation, best selling games, and sold-out live events.

What began as a roleplaying game among friends has grown into one of the industry’s foremost independent entertainment leaders, dedicated to imagination, community, and collaborative worldbuilding.
“It is truly a gift and a privilege to have the opportunity to travel all over the world to bring Critical Role to our far-reaching community of nerds,” said Marisha Ray, Co-founder and Creative Director at Critical Role. “In many ways, this adventure is just the beginning!”

The schedule kicks off in Atlanta on May 26, then crosses the Atlantic to Berlin on July 6 and Edinburgh on July 12, returns in the fall for London on October 26, and concludes in Fort Worth on December 3 where for the first time, Travis Willingham will serve as the evening’s Game Master (GM). In addition, Fan Experience tickets will be available for all shows except Edinburgh, providing attendees early entry, access to watch the 45-minute Q&A preshow, and the best seats in the house.

I can’t wait for Critters all over the world to be able to experience Critical Role live in some of the greatest venues in the world.”

Sagat plans to take control as he joins the Street Fighter™ 6 roster on August 5, 2025, across Nintendo Switch™ 2, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam! As the final boss in the original Street Fighter™ game, veterans and newcomers will be eager to reign supreme as the fearsome Sagat in Street Fighter 6. Sagat’s moveset is inspired by Muay Thai, a martial art and combat sport originating from Thailand, combined with uppercuts, knees, and an added twist…fireballs! Under Sagat’s rule, a new stage called Proud Spire will be released as well, featuring a calming temple and a peaceful Buddha statue in the background.
All hail for Emperor Sagat’s Gameplay Trailer here on YouTube, and for the latest assets and information on Street Fighter 6, visit the official Street Fighter 6 website.

Outfit 2 can be earned in World Tour by maxing out your bond with Sagat or purchased via Fighter Coins.

Viper, Alex, and Ingrid, plus new Outfit colors and Drive Tickets – are available now for purchase across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, with both passes available for pre-order on Nintendo Switch 2. Content included in the pass will unlock starting when Sagat releases on August 5, 2025.
As displayed in the latest trailer, Sagat’s Muay Thai moveset focuses on crushing, hard-hitting blows courtesy of his big frame that also gives him solid kicks with notable physical range, including:
High Tiger Shot: Fire a ki blast forward to hit standing opponents, with the blast fired at different speeds depending on the button being pressed
Low Tiger Shot: Fire a ki blast forward that can hit crouching opponents. Use both fireballs to keep opponents guessing!
Tiger Uppercut: A powerful anti-air attack which the heavy version can be held down to send opponents flying
Tiger Knee Crush: Leap forward and catch opponents off guard with a powerful knee attack
Tiger Nexus: A brand new special move where Sagat strikes with his knee and can then be followed up with three different kicks – Mighty Tiger, Greedy Tiger, or Nova Tiger
Tiger Cannon: Sagat’s Level 1 Super Art, where he fires a mighty Tiger Shot
Savage Tiger: Sagat’s Level 2 Super Art, where after Sagat leaps forward, this Super Art can be followed up with four moves.
Savage Tiger Raid: The highest damage of all the options
Savage Tiger Zenith: Launches the opponent in the air and can be followed up with more attacks
Savage Tiger Pendulum: Allows Sagat to switch places with his opponent
Savage Tiger Stomp: Leaves Sagat close to the enemy, allowing for better “oki”
Tiger Vanquisher: Sagat’s Level 3 Super Art unleashes all of his power in a series of devastating kicks and a beastly uppercut
Additional Street Fighter 6 Updates:
