Disney+ unveiled the teaser trailer for Lucasfilm and Imagine Entertainment’s “Willow” an all-new live-action fantasy adventure series based on the classic 1988 feature film, at the Lucasfilm studio showcase panel at Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim today. “Willow” will premiere November 30, 2022, exclusively on Disney+.
An epic period fantasy series with a modern sensibility set in an enchanted land of breathtaking beauty, “Willow” features a diverse international cast with Jonathan Kasdan, Ron Howard, Wendy Mericle, Kathleen Kennedy, and Michelle Rejwan serving as executive producers. The story began with an aspiring magician from a Nelwyn village and an infant girl destined to unite the realms, who together helped destroy an evil queen and banish the forces of darkness. Now, in a magical world where brownies, sorcerers, trolls, and other mystical creatures flourish, the adventure continues, as an unlikely group of heroes set off on a dangerous quest to places far beyond their home, where they must face their inner demons and come together to save their world.
Zen Studios has announced that the 1988 solid-state Williams™ pinball classic “Swords of Fury” is now available in the early access edition of Pinball FX on the Epic Games Store. In addition, six classic Williams tables, previously released in Pinball FX3 with Williams Pinball Volumes 4 and 5, are also available today for the first time in Pinball FX, fully remastered with updated graphics and features.
Unleash the “Swords of Fury” pinball table and prove your might in a world of sword and sorcery full of heroes, villains, and mythical monsters. Enjoy one of the best soundtracks in pinball history as you adventure through Ogres Alley and battle foes on the mini-playfield for big jackpots. But watch out – once your score gets high enough, the table adapts in difficulty to really test your skills! “Swords of Fury” can be purchased with in-game tickets and is free for Pinball Pass subscribers.
If that’s not enough pinball excitement, six previously released tables from Williams Pinball Volume 4 and Volume 5 are now available for the first time in the new Pinball FX: “White Water,” “Red and Ted’s Road Show,” “Hurricane,” “Tales of the Arabian Nights,” “Cirqus Voltaire,” and “No Good Gofers.” These classics can be played in both their genuine original forms, as well as remastered with updated graphics, animated toys, and a host of new features. Each table can be purchased individually with in-game tickets, and all are free to play for Pinball Pass subscribers.
Pinball FX’s newest update, out now, adds official support for pinball cabinets, letting players enjoy any table with advanced graphical options on their own custom-built hardware. Cabinet Mode is free for everyone throughout early access, and the process is now greatly streamlined so users no longer need to submit pictures of their rigs to customer service as in previous titles. Simply enable Cabinet Mode in game and immediately access your favorite tables on your preferred setup.
When Pinball FX officially launches later this year, Cabinet Mode will be offered as a one-time purchase with a “Pay What You Want” model (available for as low as one ticket). It will also be included as part of the Pinball Pass. The mode will expand after launch with its own dedicated development roadmap, rolling out new features to give cabinet users an even greater experience.
The latest Pinball FX update also introduces the new “Build Your Bundle” system, offering automatic discounts as you add more tables to your in-game cart, as well as when you add three or more tables from the same brand family (e.g., Williams, Universal, Zen Originals, etc.). The more you buy, the more you can save! These discounts can be stacked, and they apply to both brand-new tables and classic remasters. They can also be stacked with any in-game sales and promotions throughout the year.
Pinball FX is digital pinball evolved, featuring a growing collection of new and enhanced tables inspired by the biggest names in entertainment, plus faithful recreations of pinball’s most famous machines with Williams pinball and inventive new Zen Originals creations! Experience the action with advanced Pro Physics simulation, 4K HDR visuals with ray tracing, and new content coming throughout early access.
Pinball FX is free to download in early access for PC on the Epic Games Store. It is expected to officially launch on PC via the Epic Games Store, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later this year.

Kasedo Games and SomaSim have today revealed the next huge expansion for City of Gangsters. Releasing on 15th June 2022, ‘Shadow Government’ adds the shady world of political corruption to the mafia management sim which brings 1920s Prohibition USA to PC.
With the ability to control city politicians and manipulate laws to your benefit, Shadow Government drastically changes City of Gangsters gameplay from just breaking laws, to directly influencing them on the biggest map yet – New York.
With all new mechanics, finance successful election campaigns with your ill-gotten gains and use your control over large swaths of the city to ensure high turnout of voters who know exactly which ballots to cast. Just make sure you’re backing the right horses in the elections. Because if you lose, your opponents will remember.
Once the local city council members are your puppets, you can pull on their strings to get them to enact – or repeal – various city laws that can help your outfit or hurt your opponents.
The benefits of controlling political power will only increase as your grasp on the city council tightens. Who knows how far you’ll climb? Maybe one day you’ll even get to pick the mayor of the whole city.
Outfit Packs
Alongside the release of ‘Shadow Government’ expansion comes five new outfit packs which add patriotic content to gangs of various nationalities; German, English, Italian, Polish and Irish.
New skills, operations, vehicles, missions, national colors/symbols and legacy goals are added in the different outfit packs to strengthen your national pride as you go about increasing your power across American cities.
City of Gangsters: Shadow Government and the various ‘Outfit Packs’ will release on Steam on 15th June 2022, priced at $7.99 / 7.99 € / £7.49 and $1.99 / 1.99 € / £1.79 respectively and are available to wishlist now on Steam.
Behaviour Interactive, in collaboration with Universal Games and Digital Platforms, today revealed Jurassic World Primal Ops, a new free-to-play mobile action-adventure game where players rescue, collect and fight alongside their favorite dinosaurs. Expected to launch soon on the App Store and Google Play, the game puts players in the boots of battle-trained handlers who use their combat skills to save dinosaurs from enemies and create a peaceful coexistence with humans. With deep dinosaur collection systems and incredible action-packed missions, Jurassic World Primal Ops is a can’t-miss experience on mobile for fans of the Jurassic World franchise.
In Jurassic World Primal Ops, dinosaurs roam the earth as they once did millions of years ago. While many have embraced their return, others have seized the opportunity to use them to fulfill their own greedy agendas. In the game, only players can save the dinosaurs from another extinction. As elite battle-trained dinosaur handlers, their mission is to travel across North America, rescuing dinosaurs from malicious mercenaries, deadly poachers and sinister laboratories.
Luckily, they can call on their newly rescued companions to fight by their side. Using their unique abilities, these dinosaur companions can overcome any challenge standing in the way and turn the tide in any mission. From a trampling Triceratops to supply-dropping Pteranodons to the mighty T.rex, every rescued dinosaur brings a new dynamic to the adventure.
“We’re extremely proud of Jurassic World Primal Ops, and we strongly believe players will love it. The game offers a new and unique mobile gameplay experience in the Jurassic World universe, and the twist on collecting dinosaurs provides a ton of varied gameplay,” said Jason Millena, Senior Creative Director, Behaviour Interactive. “Since the inception of the Jurassic World franchise, we’ve been on a journey that evolves this fantastic relationship between dinosaurs and humans. It’s exciting to showcase how not only do they coexist peacefully, but how they can work together to save other dinosaurs.”
“Jurassic World Primal Ops lets players immerse themselves in the Jurassic World franchise, allowing them to deepen their connection with dinosaurs in thrilling, new ways,” said Jim Molinets, SVP of Production, Universal Games and Digital Platforms. “The game is reflective of the brand’s signature storytelling, intense action, compelling environments and diverse characters, and promises to be engaging for new and long-time fans alike.”
Jurassic World Primal Ops will be available on iOS App Store and on Android Google Play soon. The game is free to download and offers in-app purchases. The latest film in the Jurassic World franchise – Jurassic World Dominion – debuts in theaters on June 10, 2022.
