The magic is returning for one last spell. *Wizards Beyond Waverly Place*, the hit continuation of the Emmy® Award-winning Disney Channel classic, will conclude with a special four-part event this summer on Disney+, Disney Channel, and Disney Channel On Demand. Production for the final installment is slated to begin next week.

In a major milestone for the franchise, executive producer Selena Gomez will make her directorial debut helming the event’s premiere episode. She will also reprise her iconic role as Alex Russo across multiple episodes. The story picks up after a dramatic Season 2 cliffhanger, with Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) still reeling from the loss of Alex. To rescue her mother, Billie must track down her long-lost father, ultimately bringing the Russo family together to combine their powers and defeat a looming evil.

Since its debut, the revival has successfully bridged the gap between nostalgic fans and a new generation. The series has amassed over 101 million views on the Disney Channel YouTube page and ranked as a top-five streaming title among key youth and young adult demographics (ages 6–24) upon its launch.

The ensemble cast includes David Henrie (Justin Russo), Alkaio Thiele (Roman Russo), Max Matenko (Milo Russo), Taylor Cora (Winter), and Mimi Gianopulos (Giada Russo). Jed Elinoff and Scott Thomas serve as writers and executive producers, joined by an executive producing team that includes Gomez, Henrie, Gary Marsh, Jonas Agin, and Rick Williams.

Fans looking to catch up before the summer finale can stream all episodes of the first two seasons now on Disney+. The original *Wizards of Waverly Place*, created by Todd Greenwald, ran from 2007 to 2012 and famously launched Gomez’s career as a multiplatinum, GRAMMY® Award-nominated recording artist and highly sought-after actress.

With No Man Left Behind, the Commandos squad steps back into the shadows. The second Commandos: Origins DLC deploys on April 28th, 2026, on PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation®4|5.

This operation closes a critical gap in the main campaign: deep behind enemy lines in the Auvergne region of occupied France, the Green Beret is captured by German forces during a mission to extract an allied informant who possesses high-value intelligence. Players experience this story in the first mission firsthand as Jack O’Hara, the Green Beret.

In three additional new missions, Thomas “the Sapper” Hancock, Francis T. “the Sniper” Woolridge, and Rene “the Spy” Duchamp make their way across heavily fortified mountain facilities, dense forests, and a tightly secured construction site housing to rescue the Green Beret. On their mission, the Commandos must uncover crucial clues, sabotage a prototype of a deadly German superweapon, and piece together the intelligence needed to complete their objective.

The newly introduced Radio Operator represents a major tactical threat: eliminating this enemy type can trigger an instant global alarm. To maintain operational secrecy, the Commandos must locate and disable signal enhancers, severing enemy communications before striking. Precision, timing, and discipline are mandatory.

Commandos: Origins – No Man Left Behind launches April 28th, 2026, on PC (Steam, Epic Games), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation®4|5 for €14.99 | £12.99 | $14.99 with a launch discount on PC. A launch discount of 10% for the PC version is available for 14 days on Steam and for 7 days on the Epic Games Store, while the DLC will be offered in the Kalypso Store at a price of €12.99 during the first 14 days.

Features

The missing link: In Commandos: Origins DLC ‘No Man Left Behind’, you finally discover the events that led to the Green Beret’s capture, triggering the search for him and the rescue mission of the main campaign.
Embark on four new missions to uncover crucial information leading to the prototype of a new German superweapon, being built in the seclusion of the French mountains.
Your search for both information and your captured companion will take you across a huge, picturesque map of occupied French territory in the Auvergne, spanning nighttime forest operations and heavily guarded military structures scattered across the mountainous countryside.
Encounter new characters, including the informant and fellow prisoners, and prepare to face a new enemy unit: the radio operator, who will call for reinforcements and trigger a global alarm if his line of communication is not cut before he is eliminated.

MicroProse is proud to announce that it will publish Scourge of the Reptiles, a party-based tactical RPG set in a prehistoric low-fantasy world where magic, war, and colossal beasts collide.

Alongside the announcement, a brand-new trailer has been released, offering a first look at the game’s tactical combat, dinosaur-mounted warfare, and the mysterious force driving these ancient creatures into rebellion.

In Scourge of the Reptiles, a devastating meteor grants magical abilities to humans, elves, and dinosaurs alike, triggering conflict across kingdoms and unleashing a threat that spreads far beyond the hero’s quiet beginnings. As dinosaurs begin to turn against their masters, players must assemble a party, build strength in the wilderness, and uncover the source of this growing chaos.

Blending classic tactical RPG gameplay with deep systemic design, Scourge of the Reptiles places a strong emphasis on positioning, strategy, and player choice. Players will command a party of warriors, sorcerers, and dinosaur companions, navigating a world where every encounter can be approached in multiple ways-through combat, cunning, or careful preparation.

At the heart of the experience lies a unique twist: dinosaurs are not just enemies, but powerful allies, mounts, and tactical tools that can shape the outcome of every battle.

Devolver Digital (BALL x PIT, Baby Steps) and developer Artifcer (Showgunners, Sumerian Six) have revealed the April 9 launch date for Minos, a labyrinth-building, strategic puzzle game where you protect the fabled minotaur from “heroes” eager to invade his sanctuary and slay him for fame and glory.

Devise masterful, devious plans by dragging walls, gates and corridors into place to shape your maze however you like. Make long, winding paths full of traps or confuse and split the interlopers up with rotating passages and shifting gates. It’s your maze: clever or cruel, it’s up to you.

Every run in Minos brings new enemies, new traps and new ways to turn their bravery into a bloody disaster. No two nights are ever the same, and as you play, you’ll learn more about this not-so-mythical minotaur and the man who became it.
