Geralt From The Witcher Confirmed as Soulcalibur 6 Character
After a week of speculation, Bandai Namco and CD Projekt Red have confirmed that Geralt of Rivia will appear as a guest character in Soulcalibur 6.
The hero of The Witcher series was shown off in a new trailer, which you can watch below:
Geralt will be voiced by original voice actor Doug Cockle, and brings with him a Kaer Morhen stage to fight across. The soundtrack for the stage will be "Hunt or Be Hunted" from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Geralt makes sense as a Soulcalibur guest - he's got the old-timey aesthetic, focus on swordplay, and a touch of magic for good measure. We've already seen him using a series of his Sign spells, so it seems he'll be able to mix things up a little.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Officially Announced
Square Enix has formally announced Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which will be released on September 14 for PC, Xbox One and PS4 (including PS4 Pro and Xbox One X versions). The third in the rebooted Tomb Raider series will "deliver Lara Croft's defining moment", according to a press release.
Not much about the game - which is reportedly being developed by Eidos Montreal, rather than reboot creator Crystal Dynamics - is given away in the trailer but there's a heavy theme of eclipses and darkness. A full reveal will arrive on April 27.
Watch the teaser trailer below:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Deleted Scenes Breakdown
Star Wars: The Last Jedi became available on Digital HD on March 13th, with its bonus content including 14 deleted scenes (also available with audio commentary).
We went through and watched all 14 to pull out what we consider the four best scenes that were cut -- as well as the one that really was a chore to get through. Here's a recap of what they are, as well as director Rian Johnson's stated reasons for axing them.
In the chronology of the Ahch-To plotline, this scene takes place after Luke has learned the answer to his question “Where’s Han?” The theatrical version ends with Luke telling Rey, who is there to recruit him back into the cause, “You don’t need Luke Skywalker.” In this deleted scene, Luke then enters his hut, where some of his belongings are laid out on a table, and allows himself a quiet but emotional moment. Given that Luke just learned of Han’s death moments before, this serves as a chance to show Luke grieving the loss of his brother-in-law and friend.
