While bound in his hospital bed recovering from the fight, Bob gets fed up with the hospital’s bland food and becomes inspired to conceive of his own delicious burger recipe. After being discharged from the hospital, Bob goes on to establish a hugely successful burger chain, leading to the creation of “Bob’s Onigiri,” which brings him even greater fortune and renown. Bob soon finds himself crossing paths with Kazuya on his quest to take over the world, and yet, despite Bob’s newfound successes, he is inspired to take on the greater cause of bringing the hammer of justice down on his foe, Kazuya Mishima.

Bob will be available for TEKKEN 8 Season Pass 3 holders on Wednesday, August 19th in North America, while the character will be available for all on August 24, 2026. Bob joins the previously released Kunimitsu and the upcoming Roger Jr. and Yujiro Hanma as the characters of the Season 3 Pass.

505 Games and Supernova Games Studios, in technical partnership with KUNOS Simulazioni, are delighted to announce that Assetto Corsa Rally has received a massive new update today which adds two new real-life stages – Loutraki and Elatia – which have previously featured in the World Rally Championship rally in Greece.

The new Greece Rally content in the 0.5 Update and is flanked by the first integration of online multiplayer with players able to host and join full customisable lobbies for up to 16 players, as well as a hefty physics overhaul bolstered by an upgraded tire model which offers more realistic interaction between rubber and surfaces.

Currently available in Early Access on Steam, Assetto Corsa Rally is the newest entry in the acclaimed Assetto Corsa franchise and brings realistic driving physics to one of the most demanding and spectacular forms of motorsport, delivering an authentic and immersive experience that captures the true essence of rallying. The 0.5 Update is the latest free content update for Assetto Corsa Rally with Supernova Games Studios working on further sizeable updates and new content in the future as they race along to 1.0.

For more information about the key features in the 0.5 update, please refer to the overview below:

New: Greece Rally – Loutraki Special Stage
The Loutraki stage is a famous Special stage that was used for years in the World Rally Championship. It starts on the outskirts of the town and climbs into the hills of Aghii Theodori, following roads typical of Greek rally stages: dusty, with stones and boulders at the edges and hazards around every corner. The route is winding, alternating fast sections with wide turns and featuring a medium-width roadway. High speeds combined with broad lines challenge the driver’s concentration and car control, while also allowing plentiful opportunities for drifting.

New: Greece Rally – Elatia Special Stage
Near the town of Elatia, the Elatia–Zeli special stage connects the two settlements and has been used for many years in the World Rally Championship. The roads are wide and dusty, featuring numerous ruts, exposed rocks, and hazards typical of Greek rally stages. The stage is fast and filled with sweeping corners, allowing drivers to fully exploit their cars’ power and perform spectacular drifts. However, the high speeds and challenging surface conditions still demand great precision and concentration from the drivers.

New: Online Multiplayer Game Mode – Single Stage
The first phase of online multiplayer introduces custom and public lobbies for up to 16 players in single-stage events, featuring full control over weather, car restrictions, and real-time live spectating. This update also debuts official developer-managed ACR Lobbies, which utilize automatic multiple instances to ensure the community always has open slots to join. Launching with version 0.5, multiplayer features a rotating event calendar consisting of two standard weekly events and one premium event exclusive to the weekend from Friday to Sunday.

New: Physics
This major physics overhaul introduces an upgraded tire model featuring a revised peak slip angle formula that enhances inner tire utility, alongside a more stable load sensitivity calculation scaled by pressure and contact patch size. Surface recognition has been refactored with unique parameter sets and modifier overrides per terrain, complemented by the introduction of longitudinal and lateral bulldozing effects on soft surfaces. Enhanced camber dynamics now scale grip based on load and angle sensitivity, while experimental stick-slip and dig-dependent vibrations reintroduce detailed surface feedback. Additionally, a new dynamic ideal line that widens through corners debuts in Greece, all backed by a global rebalancing pass for all surfaces, cars, and setup presets.

Unlock Indiana in the Pacific Hammer campaign

The magic and mischief of Auradon and Wonderland are returning to television screens this summer. Disney today debuted the highly anticipated official trailer, poster, and a brand-new musical track for Descendants: Wicked Wonderland, the latest installment in the globally successful Descendants franchise.

The sneak peek premiered on Good Morning America, setting the stage for the film’s official television debut on Thursday, July 16 on Disney Channel, followed by its streaming release the next day, July 17, on Disney+.

A New Threat in Wonderland

Picking up after the events of Descendants: The Rise of Red, the new film explores the unintended consequences of time travel. While the Queen of Hearts has turned kind and Cinderella is safe, altering the past has inadvertently birthed a new threat: Maddox Hatter.

When Maddox captures the Queen of Hearts, protagonists Red and Chloe are forced into action. To save her and rescue Wonderland, they must team up with an eclectic new generation of VKs (Villain Kids) and AKs (Action Kids), including Red’s new sister Pink, Luisa Madrigal’s son Luis, Captain Hook’s daughter Hazel, and Maddox’s son Max.

Villain Anthems and Soundtrack Details

Alongside the trailer, Disney dropped the film’s latest single, “Mad-Wicked Wonderland.” Positioned as the next entry in Disney’s long-standing tradition of memorable villain anthems, the track offers fans an auditory taste of the danger looming over Wonderland.

The song follows the success of the promotional single “Perfect Princess,” which racked up more than 12.36 million impressions across owned social platforms within its first five days. Promising more original tracks than any previous film in the franchise, the Descendants: Wicked Wonderland Original Soundtrack will release on July 17 via Walt Disney Records. Fans can already secure the album via Spotify pre-save and Apple Music pre-add.

Cast and Creative Team

The upcoming movie features a mix of returning favorites and high-profile franchise newcomers:

Returning Cast: Kylie Cantrall (Red), Malia Baker (Chloe), Leonardo Nam (Maddox Hatter), Melanie Paxson (Fairy Godmother), Paolo Montalban (King Charming), Rita Ora (the Queen of Hearts), and Brandy (Cinderella).
New Additions: Liamani Segura (Pink), Brendon Tremblay (Max Hatter), Alexandro Byrd (Luis Madrigal), Kiara Romero (Hazel Hook), Joel Oulette (Robbie Hood), Zavien Garrett (Felix Facilier), Ryan McEwen (Squirmy Smee), Dayton Paradis (Squeaky Smee), and Awkwafina as Chessy the Cat.

Behind the camera, Kimmy Gatewood (The Muppets Mayhem) serves as director and co-executive producer. The screenplay is penned by co-executive producer Tamara Chestna (Sneakerella) alongside Dan Frey and Ru Sommer (Descendants: The Rise of Red). Franchise veterans Suzanne Todd and Gary Marsh return as executive producers, while Emmy Award-winner Emilio Dosal (Wicked, Sneakerella) handles the franchise’s signature high-energy choreography.

A Powerhouse Franchise

Since its inception in 2015, the Descendants franchise has remained a dominant force in youth media. The original trilogy consistently ranked as the most-watched cable movies of their respective years, capturing nearly 1 billion hours of viewing time in the United States alone.

The momentum carried into 2024 with Descendants: The Rise of Red, which broke records on Disney+ as the most-watched original movie among Kids and Girls ages 6–11, generating over 9 billion lifetime views. The brand’s massive footprint was further cemented in 2025 during the sold-out, 40-arena Descendants/ZOMBIES Worlds Collide Tour across North America.

To accompany the film’s launch, Disney also confirmed a wave of new consumer products “coming soon,” featuring an official doll line from Mattel, alongside licensed costumes, apparel, and books.

For fans looking to catch up ahead of the July premiere, previous films and The Descendants/ZOMBIES Worlds Collide: Concert Special are currently streaming inside the dedicated Descendants Collection on Disney+.
