A solo game developer has created an incredibly realistic (and slightly creepy) train station scene in Unreal Engine 5.

In a three-minute video shared on YouTube, as well as various screenshots (below), Lorenzo Drago shares footage of his Unreal Engine 5 demo, based on the real-life Etchū-Daimon Station train station in Toyama, Japan.

Drago, a 3D environment/prop artist, says they "worked on all modeling, texturing, lighting and animation" aside from the foliage, which comes Quixel Megascans. The video uses Unreal's Lumen lighting system, but doesn't use its Nanite geometry system. The result is pretty incredible.

Using VR control to simulate a handheld camera's movement (and later a flashlight), the scene initially looks almost indistinguishable from real video footage – but if the lack of people doesn't give it away, the sky instantly turning pitch black halfway through the video should.

It goes from being a very relaxing and beautiful looking summer's day to almost a horror game immediately, as the torch is turned on and Drago's character begins to walk up the train station steps.

While there are no jump scares or any real spooks, it's hard not to think about the horrors players will be subjected to when developers start releasing games in Unreal Engine 5.

It's not the only recent demo to show off the capabilities of the new engine, that was only released last month, as a Superman-style flight experience and Spider-Man demo also show off its incredible graphics.

Several game studios have also confirmed they're now developing games using Unreal Engine 5, including the new Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics and the new game in the Witcher saga from CD Projekt Red.

Tom Hiddleston has said there's more to be done for representation, after Loki came out as bisexual in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The character appeared throughout the MCU for a decade before coming out as bi in episode three of the Loki Disney+ series, something Hiddleston said was an important but small step.

Speaking to the Guardian, Hiddleston spoke about the transition from films to TV, saying that introducing Loki's bisexuality was an opportunity to explore new elements of the character without changing who he was.

"We all wanted to retain the integrity of the character. I wanted to make sure we didn’t lose the bits that people loved, while doing something new," he said.

"I also hope Loki coming out as bisexual was meaningful to people who spotted it. It was a small step, and there’s further to go. But it was definitely important to all of us."

Following Loki's bisexuality reveal last June, director Kate Herron also commented that it was a small but important step.

"From the moment I joined Loki it was very important to me, and my goal, to acknowledge Loki was bisexual," she said. "It is a part of who he is and who I am too. I know this is a small step but I'm happy, and heart is so full, to say that this is now canon in [the] MCU."

While Loki was the first major LGBTQ+ character introduced in the MCU he was soon joined by Phastos from Eternals.

Since then, Disney also refused to cut an LGBTQ reference in the new Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which related to new hero America Chavez and her two moms.

Ahsoka, the original Disney+ Star Wars series headed to Disney+, has officially begun production.

Star Wars' official Twitter account shared the news with an image from the set. While it doesn't reveal much, it does show the show's logo on the back of a chair and the iconic hat of Ahsoka's writer and executive producer Dave Filoni.

No further details were given for the Ahsoka series, which we still know very little about. We also don't yet have an official release date or window, but it was confirmed that the limited series will take place within the timeline of The Mandalorian. Furthermore, the events will culminate in a "climactic story event" alongside The Mandalorian.

Ahsoka will star Rosario Dawson, who brought the Togruta former-Jedi to life in live-action after she was first introduced in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While Ashley Eckstein lent her voice to Ahsoka in the animated series, Dawson has been bringing her to life in the live-action space since Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian.

Joining Dawson will be Hayden Christensen, Ray Stevenson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ivanna Sakhno, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo.

Filoni had previously revealed that he's had an idea for a standalone series for Ahsoka, who was once Anakin Skywalker's padawan, for a "long time."

The wait for Ahsoka may be tough, but fans will be returning to that galaxy far, far away very soon as Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series is set to arrive with a two-episode premiere on May 27, 2022.

In celebration of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Mondo is continuing its MCU soundtrack series and immortalizing the film's score on vinyl – and it looks as amazing as it sounds.

The double LP set, available for pre-order on May 11, might be worth adding to your collection for the artwork by Florian Bertmer alone. It features Doctor Strange sitting in front of a stained glass-like backdrop full of bright oranges and blood reds.

If you’ve seen Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness by now, you know it is a visually arresting film thanks in part to Sam Raimi’s direction and its visual effects. The film's visuals aren't the only thing worth noting, however. The film’s score is also incredibly dynamic.

In fact, our review for the film says that “Multiverse of Madness is worth the price of admission just to hear the score and see it at work.” Between the soundtrack and the artwork, these records would be a worthy addition to any Marvel fan's collection.

The film's score is by the iconic Danny Elfman who has worked alongside director Sam Raimi since 1990’s Darkman. The new Doctor Strange film sees the duo joining forces again for the first time in almost ten years. Their collaboration on the original Spider-Man trilogy helped refine superhero films into what they are today.

Marvel Studios' soundtrack for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is pressed on two 180 Gram Mondo Exclusive color LPs. It will also be available on black vinyl. Both go up for pre-order at MondoShop.com on Wednesday, May 11 for $40 USD.

With the film out now, be sure to check out our coverage on the state of the MCU Multiverse and read how Rick and Morty trained writer Michael Waldron for his foray into the world of Doctor Strange.

The first teaser trailer for Avatar: The Way of Water has been released, giving us a glimpse at the events that are unfolding on Pandora in James Cameron's long-awaited sequel.

The trailer opens on the familiar floating mountains of Pandora, following the Na'vi as they travel around the planet's azure blue seas and bioluminescent bays atop great-winged banshees and enormous aquatic creatures to protect their home from impending danger. The Sully family are also ready for battle as Jake reminds Neytiri that their family is their "fortress."

Set more than a decade after the events of the first film, Jake and Neytiri now have three Na'vi children named Neteyam (Jamie Flatters), Tuktirey (Trinity Bliss), and Lo'ak (Britain Dalton) as well an adopted human son called Miles Sorocco AKA "Spider" (Jake Champion) who they must fight to keep safe from the new threats that are encroaching on their world.

Avatar: The Way of Water stars Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, and Kate Winslet, so there is a good mix of franchise favorites and Na'vi newcomers — one of which is featured on the newly released poster for the upcoming sequel.

Avatar 2 is due out December 16, 2022, after 13 years of production and various delays. Filming on Avatar 3 wrapped last September, with that film due out on December 20, 2024, Avatar 4 in December 2026, and Avatar 5 in December 2028. Ubisoft is also releasing Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, a first-person open-world action-adventure video game adaptation.

Resident Evil Re:Verse may still be on track for release in 2022, despite developer Capcom going completely silent on it following a series of delays.

As shared by Gematsu on Twitter (below), the Google Stadia version of Re:Verse – the PvP game originally scheduled to arrive alongside Resident Evil: Village – has been rated by European ratings board PEGI.

Though Capcom hasn't confirmed any release window except just "this year", a game being rated usually signifies that a relatively complete version has been presented and it therefore isn't too far from being released.

Stadia version of Resident Evil Re:Verse was just rated in Europe: https://t.co/81wlUU8Gj0

The PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions were rated a year ago today.

It lives...? pic.twitter.com/c3toZ0aFep

— Gematsu (@gematsu) May 7, 2022

The PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions were rated exactly one year earlier (on May 7) but this was also the release date of Resident Evil: Village, and Re:Verse was originally intended to be a multiplayer mode within that game.

While nothing is officially confirmed until Capcom itself announces it, the rating does indicate that progress on Re:Verse is at least being made.

The game was first announced in January last year before being delayed to summer 2021 three months later. Two months after its intended original release date, Capcom announced in July that Re:Verse had been delayed to 2022 "so that the team can continue working to deliver a smooth gameplay experience."

Though the developer promised to share updates at a later date, practically nothing has been said about Re:Verse since the delay.
