After years of uncertainty, a new live-action Masters of the Universe movie is on its way to Netflix, with Kyle Allen set to take on the role of He-Man.

Netflix is partnering with Mattel to produce the new movie, with the Nee Brothers serving as co-directors. The script is being produced by the Nees and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings writer David Callaham.

The new film's story will focus on He-Man, also known as Adam, an orphan "discovers he is a prince destined to be the savior of a faraway land." He must "quickly learn of his power and the importance of saving his true home from an evil force." In short, it sounds a lot like an origin story.

The new live-action Masters of the Universe movie has been rumored since at least 2003, with John Woo set to direct. Sony eventually acquired the rights, but had little success getting a new movie off the ground.

In 2021, Netflix released Masters of the Universe: Revelation, a new series featuring Kevin Smith and Mark Hamill. A more family-friendly CG show titled He-Man and the Masters of the Universe is also streaming on the service.

Masters of the Universe last appeared in live-action in 1987, with Dolph Lundgren playing the role of He-Man. It was critically panned, but it has since developed a cult following.

Netflix new Masters of the Universe movie will begin production in summer 2022. It does not have a release date yet. While you wait, check out this Epic Castle Grayskull playset, which is a "true blast from the past."

Update 1/28 2:05pm PT: And it's official. The Fast Saga Twitter account has confirmed Jason Momoa will be in the upcoming Fast 10.

"The Fast Fam keeps getting bigger. Welcome, Jason Momoa," the franchise's official Twitter account says along with an appropriately glamorous photo of the actor with the hashtag #F10.

Fast 10 is set to be the conclusion of the Fast Saga and will be a two-part film, with part one set to be released in 2023.

Original Story: The Fast and Furious franchise has a history of adding extremely muscular men to its cast of characters, and it seems Fast 10 will be no different. After Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena appeared in previous movies, it could be Aquaman star Jason Momoa's turn to face off against Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto.

THR reports Momoa is in final talks to join the next installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. We don't know much about the next movie's plot, but apparently Momoa could play one of the movie's villains. It's possible his character could work alongside Charlize Theron's Cipher, who escaped at the end of last year's F9.

Many members of the family are expected to return in Fast & Furious 10, including Michelle Rodriguez's Letty, Tyrese Gibson's Roman, Ludacris' Tej and Sung Kang's Han. There's some unfinished business between Han and Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw, as F9's credits scene showed the two interacting for the first time since Shaw's attempted murder of Han.

One character that won't return for Fast 10 at this point is Johnson's Luke Hobbs. The ongoing beef between Johnson and Diesel seems to have reached its conclusion, at least for now. At the very end of last year, Johnson said there is "no chance" he would rejoin the franchise, especially after Diesel's social media post did not go over well with the Rock. Diesel made a post telling the Rock that he "must show up" for Fast & Furious 10 and "rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny." While that ship may have sailed, fans can expect to see Johnson again in Hobbs & Shaw 2.

Fast 10 is set to come out on May 19, 2023. It will serve as the first half of a two-part finale for the Fast and Furious franchise. Longtime franchise director Justin Lin is returning, having previously worked on Fast 3 through 6 and F9.

Hidetaka Miyazaki the creator of the Souls series, really enjoyed It Takes Two from Hazelight Studios it seems. That's quite the praise especially coming from someone who had worked on some of the most influential games of all time.

In an interview over at the PlayStation Blog, Miyazaki said that he doesn't really have much time to play video games, but he tries to make time for them when he can. It Takes Two was one that stood out to him and he played the game from start to finish across three days with a friend online.

When asked about what made It Takes Two so memorable to him, Miyazaki explained, "It didn’t let up throughout, and it never let me get bored. The art and gameplay are different in each stage, and the game encourages you to cooperate across its entirety yet still maintains that artistic element. It’s continually fun to play and felt extremely fresh to me right up until the end, which was impressive to me as a fellow creator."

He continued, "Honestly, I didn’t have that much interest in it at first. But when I gave it a go with my friend, it finally clicked. And with a small child of my own, the narrative resonated with me, which was most interesting in the end."

He's not the only high-profile Japanese game developer to have talked about It Takes Two. Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai hinted that he may have played the game solo with two controllers. Additionally, Naughty Dog senior communications manager Rochelle Snyder and co-president Evan Wells also included It Takes Two as their favorite games of 2021.

It Takes Two is the newest game from outspoken video game director Josef Fares and Hazelight Studios. Like Fares' previous games, It Takes Two is meant to be play cooperatively as two players take control of Cody and May, a married couple on the brink of divorce. Their adventure together through fantastical challenges tests their relationship as well as that of the players'.

It Takes Two won the coveted title of game of the year award at The Game Awards 2021. It's also included in IGN's best games of 2021 as well.

Ubisoft’s new NFT service hasn’t gone down well ever since it was revealed, but execs say that gamers just don’t get it.

During an interview with Finder, Ubisoft Strategic Innovations Lab vice president Nicolas Pouard said that gamers simply don’t understand the benefits of NFTs.

“I think gamers don't get what a digital secondary market can bring to them,” he said. “For now, because of the current situation and context of NFTs, gamers really believe it's first destroying the planet, and second just a tool for speculation. But what we [at Ubisoft] are seeing first is the end game. The end game is about giving players the opportunity to resell their items once they're finished with them or they're finished playing the game itself.”

Back in December last year, Ubisoft announced Quartz — its first foray into NFTs. This new service offers limited-edition cosmetic items in Ubisoft games, that can then be resold via third-party marketplaces for cryptocurrency.

But it’s gone down like a lead balloon, after its integration into Ghost Recon: Breakpoint raised eyebrows among gamers.

After the service launched on December 9, three limited-edition NFT items were added to the game, including a ‘Wolves’ skin for the M4A1 Tactical Rifle, a helmet, and a pair of pants. These three items are free to claim… but there’s a catch.

The rifle requires you to reach XP level 5 in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint, while the pants require 100 hours played in the game. The helmet requires a massive 600 hours in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint… all for a helmet with a number on it.

But while sales of Ubisoft NFTs haven’t exactly been great, Pouard insists that gamers just don’t understand.

“It was a reaction we were expecting,” he said of the backlash to Quartz. “We know it's not an easy concept to grasp. But Quartz is really just a first step that should lead to something bigger. Something that will be more easily understood by our players.”

Despite the major backlash, it looks as though Ubisoft is keen to continue its NFT journey. Even if nobody gets it.

“That's the way we think about it and why we will keep experimenting,” he added. “We will keep releasing features and services around this first initiative. And our belief is that, piece by piece, the puzzle will be revealed and understood by our players. We hope they will better understand the value we offer them.”

Despite downplaying NFTs environmental impact, Pouard previously stated that Ubisoft could reconsider its position if energy consumption issues aren’t solved.

Elden Ring director Hidetaka Miyazaki has discussed that, while he doesn't think the game is necessarily easier than previous FromSoftware titles, he does believe more people will be able to finish it this time around.

Speaking to PlayStation.Blog, Miyazaki was asked about the "ongoing discourse" that surrounds the challenge and accessibility of FromSoftware's games, if the team was more mindful of these conversations when developing Elden Ring, and if they have impacted the way the team "tailored and maintained FromSoftware's trademark difficulty" for the game.

"Yes, we have," Miyazaki said. "It’s a valid discussion. I feel like our approach to these games, not just Elden Ring, is to design them to encourage the player to overcome adversity. We don’t try to force difficulty or make things hard for the sake of it. We want players to use their cunning, study the game, memorize what’s happening, and learn from their mistakes. We don’t want players to feel like the game is unfairly punishing, but rather that there’s a chance to win a difficult encounter and make progress.

"We understand that Souls-like games are regularly associated with impossible levels of difficulty with high barriers to entry. But we try to design the games to make the cycle of repeatedly trying to overcome these challenges enjoyable in itself. So we hope that with Elden Ring and the new options it provides, it will be a success in that respect."

He continued to discuss how the level of freedom Elden Ring offers in its more open-world format should also lead to more players finishing the game, even though FromSoftware did not "intentionally lower the game's difficulty."

"In Elden Ring, we have not intentionally tried to lower the game’s difficulty, but I think more players will finish it this time," Miyazaki said. "As I mentioned, the player’s level of freedom to progress through the world or return to a challenge later are all elements that I feel will help people get through the game at a more leisurely pace. Also, there isn’t a focus on pure action. The player has more agency to dictate their approach against, for example, the field bosses in the overworld and how they utilize stealth in various situations.

"We’ve even reduced the number of hoops that you have to jump through to enjoy it in multiplayer. So we hope the players embrace that idea of receiving help from others. And we feel like the overall clear rate will go up this time because of these things."

For those who may still be a bit worried Elden Ring may not be for them, Miyazaki did offer one further piece of advice when picking a class - don't choose the Wretch!

"As for a starting class, it’s entirely up to the player," Miyazaki said. "It’s an RPG, and they can approach it however they like and choose whichever looks the coolest to them. But I would recommend against choosing the naked one (known as the Wretch). As before, it’s probably the most difficult starting class!"
