LEGO Horizon Adventures: A Blocky But Beautiful Collaboration on the Horizon for PlayStation?

Get ready for a thrilling brick-venture, PlayStation fans! Rumors are swirling about a potential collaboration between Sony and LEGO for a new title called LEGO Horizon Adventures. This exciting prospect has gamers buzzing with anticipation, but what exactly can we expect from this unique mashup?

LEGO Horizon

A LEGO Take on a Post-Apocalyptic World

According to industry insider reports, LEGO Horizon Adventures is essentially “Horizon Forbidden West but Lego. This means players can expect to explore a vibrant, post-apocalyptic world teeming with iconic robotic creatures – all re-imagined with the charm and playful creativity of LEGO bricks.

Realistic Graphics? LEGO Horizon

One intriguing detail mentioned in the leaks is the inclusion of “realistic graphics.” This has sparked some debate within the gaming community. LEGO titles are known for their signature blocky aesthetic, so it’s unclear what “realistic graphics” might entail in this context.

Perhaps it refers to detailed environments and character designs within the constraints of the LEGO style, or maybe it hints at a graphical leap for LEGO games altogether. Only time will tell!

A PlayStation Showcase Reveal?

With a rumored PlayStation showcase event happening this month (May 2024), speculation is rife that LEGO Horizon Adventures could be officially unveiled there. This would be a perfect platform to showcase the game’s unique blend of action-adventure gameplay and the beloved LEGO brick aesthetic.

LEGO and Horizon: A Match Made in Brick Heaven?

While the concept of a LEGO Horizon game might seem like an unexpected pairing at first glance, it’s worth noting that LEGO and the Horizon franchise have a history of collaboration.

There are already existing LEGO sets based on Guerrilla Games’ Horizon universe. This suggests a potential for a natural and enjoyable translation of the world and characters into the LEGO format.

Filling the Gap in Sony’s Release Calendar

Sony’s first-party PlayStation lineup for the coming year appears somewhat quiet, with major franchises like Spider-Man and God of War not receiving sequels until at least 2025.

LEGO Horizon Adventures, if confirmed, could fill a significant gap in Sony’s release schedule and offer PlayStation gamers a unique and exciting title to look forward to.

Beyond the Horizon: Unveiling the Details

While the leaks provide a exciting glimpse into LEGO Horizon Adventures, there are still many unanswered questions. Which studio is developing the game? Will it be a PlayStation exclusive, or will it launch on other platforms as well? These details remain shrouded in mystery for now.

The Impact of Recent PlayStation Layoffs

It’s important to acknowledge the context surrounding this potential new title. In February 2024, Sony announced significant layoffs impacting PlayStation studios. This raises questions about the development process for LEGO Horizon Adventures and the resources allocated to the project.

A Blocky Beacon of Hope?

Despite the uncertainties, the prospect of LEGO Horizon Adventures is undeniably exciting. The potential for a charming and action-packed LEGO take on the Horizon universe is a unique proposition for gamers.

Whether the rumors turn out to be true and the game lives up to the hype remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure: LEGO Horizon Adventures has sparked the imaginations of PlayStation fans worldwide, offering a glimmer of blocky brilliance on the horizon.

New ‘Insidious’ Film Confirmed as Sony Sets August 2025 Release Date For The ‘Insidious 6’

New ‘Insidious’ Film Confirmed as Sony Sets August 2025 Release Date For The ‘Insidious 6’

A new installment in the “Insidious” franchise is scheduled for theatrical release.

This upcoming entry from Blumhouse Productions, co-produced by Screen Gems, has been slated by Sony for an August 29, 2025 release.

New “Insidious 6” Project Announced, Details Scarce

No further details about the new project were disclosed, including whether series regulars such as Patrick Wilson and Leigh Whannell would be involved. This newly announced feature differs from “Thread: An Insidious Tale,” an in-universe series spin-off reported by Deadline in May 2023, which is set to star Mandy Moore and Kumail Nanjiani, with Jeremy Slater attached to write and direct.

Unless other “Insidious” installments are released before this new one, it would mark the sixth entry in the horror franchise and the first since last year’s “Insidious: The Red Door.” That fifth entry saw actors Patrick Wilson and Ty Simpkins return to the series, with Wilson also making his feature directorial debut. “Insidious: The Red Door” was a bright spot at the summer box office, grossing $82 million domestically and $189 million worldwide against a modest production budget of $16 million.

“Insidious” Franchise Continues Despite Previous Hiatus Announcement

Since its launch in 2010 with director James Wan, the “Insidious” franchise has grossed over $730 million globally. The series has changed distributors over the years, moving from FilmDistrict to Focus Features to Universal to Sony, but Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions has produced every installment, co-producing with various other production companies. Screen Gems returns for this new entry after joining for “Insidious: The Red Door.”

Insidious The Red Door (2023), Image Credits – IMDb

Prior to the release of “The Red Door,” Blum hinted at a lengthy hiatus for the series in an interview with DiscussingFilm. He stated that the fifth entry “is going to be the last we’re going to see of ‘Insidious’ for a while” and that “It may not be a forever rest, but it’s certainly going to be a very long rest. … There’s not a plan — as there has been with every prior ‘Insidious’ movie — there’s no current plan in place for number six.” If Sony’s new release date holds, this period of dormancy will have lasted just 25 months.

Patrick Wilson Discusses Directing “Insidious” and Franchise Evolution

“Insidious: The Red Door” marked the fifth installment in the series and served as the directorial debut for franchise star Patrick Wilson. In an interview with Collider last year, Wilson shared his reasons for stepping behind the camera for “Insidious.”

“I think, like everything, like all of us, you look at the opportunities you’re presented with, the opportunities that are in front of you, your goals shift as your career shifts,” Wilson explained. “Most of my career, any actor’s career, is you’re just kind of a gun for hire, right? That’s just the nature of the beast. I think with this movie it was a great fit and an incredible opportunity because nobody makes these movies better than Blumhouse, and I’ve done several movies with these guys and I knew I’d be taken care of.”

Patrick Wilson, Image Credits – IMDb

Wilson’s involvement in another James Wan horror franchise, “The Conjuring,” has expanded into a vast property with numerous spinoffs and sequels. It seems that “Insidious” could be on a similar trajectory.

Sony and Universal Unveil Slate of Upcoming Releases

This week has seen a flurry of release date announcements, with Sony revealing earlier today that its new film “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” directed by Jennifer Kaytin Robinson (of “Do Revenge” fame), is set for release via Columbia Pictures on July 18, 2025.

In addition, Universal shared its lineup, with Blumhouse’s thriller “The Woman in the Yard” slated to open on Friday, March 28, 2025, followed by Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse’s “Drop” on Friday, April 11, 2025, and Blumhouse’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” haunting theaters on Friday, December 5, 2025. Also announced was the rescheduling of Blumhouse’s “The Black Phone 2” from June 27, 2025, to Friday, October 17, 2025, and Blumhouse’s “M3GAN 2.0” moving from May 16, 2025, to June. All Universal films will receive wide releases.

Less than a week ago, Sony disclosed that Danny Boyle’s highly anticipated zombie flick “28 Years Later” will debut next summer, hitting theaters on June 20, 2025.

Diablo Immortal Introduces Tempest: The Eighth Class Arriving on May 23

Diablo Immortal is set to welcome its eighth class, the Tempest, arriving on May 23. Riding in on waves and wind, the Tempest promises to bring a dynamic new playstyle to the game. To prepare the community, Blizzard has released a Dev Insights video that dives deep into the features of this new class.

Diablo Immortal – Dive Into the New Tempest Class!

Sculpted by the Storm

The Tempest is a class of warrior-priests who have mastered the elements of wind and water. This highly mobile class uses a mix of quick melee attacks, ranged knife-tipped whips, AOE (Area of Effect) attacks, and projected Zephyrs. These abilities create a versatile and engaging gameplay experience.

Zephyr Summons

One of the unique features of the Tempest is the passive skill that summons projected Zephyrs to fight alongside players. These minions mirror the class’s abilities and operate on a cooldown, offering additional versatility for this movement-focused class.

Class Introduction Quest

Players will embark on a mission as a Tempest warrior in the new class introduction quest. Set north of the Dreadlands, in the storm-battered empire of Pelghain, your mission is to rescue an island from encroaching mists. This quest sets the stage for the Tempest’s abilities and lore within the Diablo Immortal universe.

Other Gameplay Changes

Paragon Rework

In addition to introducing the Tempest, Diablo Immortal is simplifying the Paragon System. The reworked system is easier to understand and more flexible, allowing players to choose any combination of 15 skills per Paragon tree. All progress made on Paragons so far will be retained, ensuring a smooth transition for existing players.

Manchester City to miss Ederson for PL title decider and FA Cup final

Manchester City will be without Ederson for the last two games of the season, after he suffered a fracture to his right eye socket in the game against Tottenham. The Brazilian collided with Cristian Romero, and tried to play on after a lengthy treatment procedure, but was substituted by Pep Guardiola for Stefan Ortega.

The former Armenia Bielefeld goalkeeper will start the last two games of the season against West Ham United and in the FA Cup final against rivals Manchester United, with Ederson out of the picture.

Ederson to miss Manchester City’s end of season games

Ortega had to make several key saves to keep the clean sheet intact, including a 1v1 against Son Heung-Min. The German has been a reliable option whenever called upon and will now have the chance to help his side win the Premier League title as well as the FA Cup if they can win both games.

Ederson will likely recover in time for the Copa America this summer, but will need time to recover. The 30-year-old did not suffer a concussion in the game, but the thorough procedures surrounding head injuries allowed him to receive the medical attention necessary.

France Euro 2024 Squad Revealed: Kante returns for the first time in two years

France have named their 25-man squad for the 2024 European Championships, with N’Golo Kante earning his first call-up since 2022. The former Chelsea midfielder moved to Al Ittihad, but has been fit for the entire season, which is why manager Didier Deschamps chose to call him up once again.

The Premier League’s Michael Olise, Axel Disasi, Christopher Nkunku and Malo Gusto have not been called up. In spite of UEFA allowing 26 players to be named for the tournament, Deschamps has chosen to name 25 in total.

France Euro 2024 Squad Full Reveal

Goalkeepers: Alphonse Areola (West Ham), Mike Maignan (AC Milan), Brice Samba (Lens)

Defenders: Jonathan Clauss (Marseille), Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool), William Saliba (Arsenal), Jules Kounde (Barcelona), Theo Hernandez (AC Milan), Ferland Mendy (Real Madrid), Benjamin Pavard (Bayern Munich), Dayot Upamecano (Bayern Munich)

Midfielders: N’Golo Kante (Al-Ittihad), Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid), Adrien Rabiot (Juventus), Antoine Griezmann (Atletico Madrid), Aurelien Tchouameni (Real Madrid), Warren Zaire-Emery (Paris St-Germain), Youssouf Fofana (Monaco)

Forwards: Kylian Mbappe (Paris St-Germain), Bradley Barcola (Paris St-Germain), Ousmane Dembele (Paris St-Germain), Kingsley Coman (Bayern Munich), Marcus Thuram (Inter Milan), Randal Kolo Muani (Paris St-Germain), Olivier Giroud (AC Milan)

This could be the last call-up for Olivier Giroud, with the iconic striker set to move to LAFC in the MLS after this season. And with several other French strikers available, this edition of the Euros will likely be the last for the country’s top scorer.

France are heading into the tournament as one of the favorites to win, and their squad certainly has enough quality to get the job done. After missing out on a second consecutive World Cup by the smallest of margins, Les Bleus will be eager to bounce back with silverware this summer in Germany.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows: A Glimpse into Feudal Japan

Ubisoft finally pulled back the curtain on Assassin’s Creed Shadows, their latest historical RPG adventure set in the captivating era of Feudal Japan.

This new title, previously known under the codename Assassin’s Creed Red, promises a unique experience with dual lead characters, a dynamic world, and innovative gameplay mechanics.

Assassin's Creed

What makes Assassin’s Creed Shadow special?

Dual Lead Character: A Fresh Perspective

One of the most striking features of Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the introduction of two playable characters: Yasuke, a real-life historical figure who served as a samurai, and Naoe, a young and determined shinobi. This dual hero approach offers players a chance to experience the world through contrasting lenses.

Yasuke: The Improbable Samurai –

Based on the fascinating figure of African origin who rose to become a samurai under Oda Nobunaga, Yasuke brings a unique perspective to the narrative. Players will experience the world through the eyes of a foreigner navigating the complexities of Japanese society. His combat style revolves around strength and heavy weaponry, making him a force to be reckoned with.

Naoe: The Blade in the Shadows –

Naoe, a 17-year-old shinobi, embodies the stealth and agility associated with the ninja. Her story explores themes of compassion and duty as she fights to protect her people from the ravages of war. Her skillset focuses on parkour, gadgets, and silent takedowns.

This dynamic duo not only provides contrasting game play styles but also offers a nuanced view of the late Sengoku period. Players will witness the events unfold from both sides, gaining a deeper understanding of Nobunaga’s ambitions and the impact of his actions.

A World that Reacts

The world of Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t static. It reacts to the character you choose to play as. Naoe, with her ability to blend in, can navigate environments unseen, while Yasuke, a towering figure of foreign origin, commands respect from others. This creates a sense of immersion as your choices and character influence how the world interacts with you.

Beyond Combat: A Focus on Exploration

While Assassin’s Creed is known for its thrilling combat, Shadows promises more. Players can expect a focus on non-linear mission design, encouraging exploration and creative problem-solving. The introduction of destructible environments adds another layer of depth, particularly when unleashing Yasuke’s raw power. Parkour receives an upgrade with the addition of a grappling hook for Naoe, further expanding your traversal options.

Technical Advancements

Assassin’s Creed Shadows leverages a new global illumination system, creating a world where light and shadow play a significant role in game play. Additionally, the game boasts dynamic seasons, adding another layer of immersion to the ever-changing world.

Release Date and Pre-Order Details

Mark your calendars! Assassin’s Creed Shadows is slated to launch on November 15, 2024, for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. Pre-orders are now open, with various options to suit your needs:

Standard Edition ($70) – The base game and the “Thrown to the Dogs” bonus mission.

Gold Edition ($110) – Includes the base game, pre-order bonus, Season Pass with two story expansions, and 3-day early access.

Premium Edition ($130) – Everything in the Gold Edition, plus exclusive cosmetic items, skill points, and a Red Dragon filter for Photo Mode.

A look at the future of the Assassin’s Creed

With its innovative dual-hero system, dynamic world, and focus on exploration, Assassin’s Creed Shadows appears to be a significant evolution for the franchise.

By blending historical accuracy with engaging game play mechanics, Ubisoft has crafted an experience that promises to immerse players in the beauty and brutality of Feudal Japan.

Whether you’re a longtime Assassin’s Creed fan or a newcomer to the series, Shadows offers a compelling journey into a world waiting to be explored.
