Disney Pixar just unveiled Win or Lose - an all-new, original Pixar series.

The show is Pixar's first attempt at a long-form TV series, all about a softball team... and while it looks as though it'll have all the usual Pixar charm, it also has a deceptively simple premise:

"It’s about a team called the Pickles in the run-up to the championship game," said co-creator, Michael Yates, who developed the upcoming show alongside Carrie Hobson.

Will Forte stars as Coach Dan - the Pickles team coach who keeps this rag-tag team of misfits all together. Each week, the show will focus on an individual character, with audiences learning about them and how they might be feeling.

And one of the highlights is Frank the Umpire.

Frank is a middle-school teacher who's trying to get back into dating but also happens to be a softball umpire. Attendees at Disney's D23 expo were shown a brief clip of Frank getting his very own meet-cute with a local barista as he nervously orders a soy latte. But while he tries to ask her out, it becomes clear that she just isn't interested in him.

Thankfully, his friends are ready to rally around to cheer him up.

Win or Lose looks set to be more than just a sports show, with individual characters providing much of the emotional core of the series.

Cue a sizzle reel set to the soundtrack of We Will Rock You and it looks as though Win or Lose is onto a winner. Let's hope the Pickles take home the championship. We'll certainly be cheering them on from the sidelines.

Pixar has announced a sequel to Inside Out which sees Amy Poehler and her fellow emotions return inside Riley's head.

During the D23 Studio Showcase, Pixar boss Pete Doctor was about to end the segment on Pixar before being interrupted by Amy Poehler who starred as Joy in the 2015 Pixar animated film, Inside Out. Poehler was there to announce a surprise sequel to the film, Inside Out 2.

While Doctor says it's still early in production, Kelsey Mann will take over as director on the sequel and the movie will follow the original human, Riley, but as a teenager. Poehler teased that there will be new emotions this time around, though the creative team didn't reveal which.

Inside Out 2 will be coming out Summer 2024 and is the last announcement from Pixar at D23. The studio already announced its animated romance, Elemental, its first long-form series Win or Lose, and the new animated film Elio.

Paper Girls has been canceled by Amazon Prime after one season.

According to Deadline, the recent sci-fi series which debuted on Amazon Prime back in July has already been canned, despite a solid critical reception.

The show was produced by Amazon Studios and Legendary TV, the latter of which is reportedly shopping the series in an attempt to tap into the popularity of the likes of Euphoria and Sex Lives of College Girls by “offering another show with three-dimensional young female characters at the center.”

Paper Girls is based on the 2015 comic book series by Brian K. Vaughn and tells the story of Tiff, Erin, Mac, and KJ – four young girls who get caught in a war between different factions of time travelers.

IGN’s Paper Girls Season 1 review gave it 7/10 and said: “Paper Girls works best as a character study of four feisty, engaging 12-year-old girls who navigate a string of unimaginable adventures when they’re thrust into a future time war. The core four cast are what makes this series worth investing in, as their crazy circumstances give them the unique opportunity to determine who they are, and who they want to be for one another. The time story is less compelling with genre-familiar paradoxical themes, future tech, and good vs. evil factions that function more as placeholders rather than something tangible and meaningful to the characters. A second season that’s more aggressive about its overall storytelling would be very welcome.”

Nevertheless, the show’s strong opening wasn’t enough for Amazon Prime.

But then, Paper Girls came along at a tricky time, sitting in the shadow of Amazon’s Rings of Power – the high-concept, high-budget Lord of the Rings show that’s been at the center of a huge marketing push over the last few weeks and months.

Unfortunately, audiences didn’t find the show despite the strong critical reception… and Paper Girls failed to break into the Nielsen ratings.

Paper Girls starred Sofia Rosinksy, Camryn Jones, Riley Lai Nelet, and Fina Strazza in its leading roles.

The show was created for TV by Stephany Folsom, who also worked on The Rings of Power. Folsom originally acted as co-showrunner alongside Christopher C. Roger before exiting during Season 1.

Executive producers included Rogers, Folsom, Christopher Cantwell, Brian K. Vaughan, Cliff Chiang, Steven Prinz, and Plan B.

Amy Hennig’s untitled Marvel game is being described as a team-up between Captain America and heroes from Wakanda, most prominently Black Panther. But if you’re thinking of teaming up with a friend to fight the Nazis, you’ll have to choose another game as this title will not be co-op.

When IGN asked Hennig in an interview for the untitled Marvel game if this was a co-op title, the director responded, “Narratively yes, gameplay mechanics-wise no.”

While the title will indeed see Captain America and Black Panther (Azzuri, T’challa’s grandfather), gameplay wise don’t expect to team up with your friend in local or online.

“We experienced something partly intentionally partly by happy accident on Uncharted that for people playing our game it was a shared living room experience… even if their hand wasn’t on the controller,” Hennig responded. The goal for this title is to capture that same kind of shared living room experience even if players aren’t actively playing together.

Given that details remain light, what we do know is that the untitled Marvel game will focus on four characters, Captain America, Black Panther, Howling Commandos member Gabe Jones, and a Dora Milaje warrior.

While each character will be distinct, and potentially playable, the game itself will not support co-op.

There are however several superhero games that will feature co-op as a key gameplay mechanic including Gotham Knights and the upcoming Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League.

Following today's announcement of upcoming new Tron game Tron Identity, Bithell Games head Mike Bithell and Disney producer Heidi Vargas have shared a handful of details on what to expect from it, including its genre and setting: it's a detective game set years after Tron: Legacy.

Sitting down with IGN for an exclusive interview, Bithell explained that Identity takes place so far in the future that characters from the other Tron stories are legends that have shaped the history of Identity's setting, and are loved and hated for their contributions.

It takes place in a secondary Grid created by Flynn for the ISOs to inhabit after promising he'd return, though as we know, he never did. We get a look at what society and culture has evolved since then, through the eyes of a detective named Query assigned to solve a robbery and the mystery that surrounds it.

We also got a look at a few other characters, including Proxy, who is a program that has started to live outside the established hierarchy. She's a rebel who arrives on the scene of the theft, looking to see if she can benefit from the events that follow.

Bithell says that Identity will have "hybrid" gameplay, featuring puzzles interspersed with conversational elements, similar to a visual novel. The story will focus on the nature of Identity Discs, and will use them as a device through which the detective can uncover the mystery at the heart of the plot.

According to Bithell and Vargus, we can expect to see more "very soon." In the meantime, Tron Identity was just one of a number of Disney games that were announced or shown off at today's Disney and Marvel Games Showcase. You can see our full roundup of everything we saw right here.

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves collection finally has a PC release date.

The long-awaited Uncharted collection includes Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and will finally make its way to PC on October 19.

The collection was leaked on the Epic Games Store earlier in the year, with a similar listing now confirming the release date as well as what we can expect from its pre-order bonuses.

“The Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, remastered and optimized for PC, hits Epic Games Store on Oct. 19, and if you pre-purchase it, you’ll get a snazzy new Fortnite glider in the shape of Sully’s seaplane.”

UNCHARTED: Legacy of Thieves Collection will release on PC on Oct 19th according to EGS. Preorders on EGS will get a Fortnite glider in the shape of Sully's seaplane https://t.co/O1JRMM1MhE

The game is slated for Steam as well pic.twitter.com/1IVwTa1Yyo

That’s right – you could be gliding your way into King’s Canyon via Sully’s seaplane… but whether or not you’ll be able to brandish his signature mustache is unknown.

Additionally, the seaplane glider will be heading to the Fortnite Item Shop on November 19.

It will presumable be accompanied by the Nathan Drake and Chloe Fraser skins (and harvesting tools) that appeared in Fortnite earlier in the year.

As for the collection itself, expect numerous improvements compared to the PS4 originals… after all, it was also released for PS5 and sported improved graphics that will no doubt be even better on PC.

IGN’s Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves PS4 review said: “Uncharted 4 is The Last Crusade for Nate in more ways than one. Here it is refined, smoother, faster, and sharper, but not to a level I am sure many hoped… Improved textures and resolution are the only minor visual boosts, with level of detail, ambient occlusion, and others all remaining the same.”

It remains to be seen what the PC version brings to the table, but it’s still good news to see the Uncharted collection heading to PC. Whether or not it’s any good I another matter entirely.
