Baby Yoda Is Being Added to Minecraft
You’ll soon be able to add Baby Yoda to the PC version of Minecraft thanks to the hard and important work of one fan.
YouTuber Miles Playz has released a video that showcases his Baby Yoda datapack for Minecraft ahead of its release in a few days. He’s currently finishing it up but will be done shortly so we can all treasure this small, blocky child.
The video shows off the Baby Yoda model - tiny and green, as it should be - moving around and even using Force powers to lift an enemy mob up.
Talking to people on the r/minecraft subreddit, Miles Playz reveals that one of Baby Yoda’s idle animations will see him drinking soup.
A New Starship Troopers Game Is Coming in 2020
A new Starship Troopers game is arriving on PC in 2020. It’ll drop you right into the 1997 film’s universe just as the human colony is being overrun by Arachnids. From there, you’ll have to deploy complex tactics as you take the fight into bug territory with elite soldiers.
The game comes from publishers Slitherine and Sony Pictures, who announced that Starship Troopers - Terran Command is being made by war game studio The Aristocrats. It will be available for PC via Steam in 2020.
Terran Command is described as a blend of “classic real-time mechanics, tower defense and tactical deployment of units.” Most of all, it’s meant to capture the danger and uncertainty that pervades the film as the troops battle the nasty bugs on their own planet.
PlayStation Awarded Guinness World Record
PlayStation has been certified the “best-selling videogame home console brand ever” by Guinness World Records. The achievement was awarded in light of combined sales of PlayStation hardware totalling some 450,190,000 units between the original console’s launch in Japan on 3 December 1994 and 7 November 2019. The record includes hardware sales of PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and PS4, based on figures from VGChartz.
An event to commemorate this milestone was held in Tokyo on 3 December 2019, PlayStation’s 25th anniversary, and was attended by Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan and former CEO Ken Kutaragi, who is fondly referred to as “The father of the PlayStation” for his work leading the development of Sony’s first game console in the 1990s.
Black Widow: The First Official Trailer is Here
The first trailer for Black Widow has been released, and it shows off more than just Scarlett Johansson's lead character.
Natasha Romanoff has been an integral part of The Avengers since the beginning. Her debut in Iron Man 2 solidified her as an adept fighter and a covert operative. Her powers of persuasion made an impression on Loki in The Avengers. Her boldness in Captain America: Winter Soldier dismantled both S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra from the inside out. And her valiant sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame saved the universe.
Now, Natasha Romanoff is back in her own stand-alone Marvel film. Black Widow hits theaters in May of 2020 and will officially kick off Marvel Phase 4. You can watch the first full-length trailer for Black Widow above.
