Kingdom Hearts 2.9 Leaks, with New Kingdom Hearts 3 Details
A Square Enix employee may have revealed the existence of a new entry in the Kingdom Hearts series, along with fresh details on the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III.
First spotted by KH13, a LinkedIn profile makes reference to something called Kingdom Hearts 2.9, currently in development for PS3 and PS4. Though this could be a mistake, it's not the first time we've heard reference to the title - at E3 2015, the name briefly appeared on the Square Enix Presents schedule screen before being removed.
But what's perhaps more interesting is all the new Kingdom Hearts III details also revealed by the listing (via Destructoid). According to the job posting, the third main game will see the return of the Gummi Ship, introduce multiplayer and even feature a world based on a Pixar property. Set phasers to speculate.
Star Wars Battlefront Reveals its Drop Zone Mode
The first details have been revealed about Star Wars Battlefront's Drop Zone mode, revealing "King of the Hill"-style gameplay with a bit of a twist.
A new post on the EA blog reveals Drop Zone will see two teams of eight players compete to capture and control drop pods that fall through the atmosphere onto planet surfaces.
Victory comes should you manage to control five pods simultaneously, or the majority of them after 10-minutes. Should control of a pod constantly change possession, another will be sent down in order to break the stalemate. While we don't have any gameplay footage as yet, a new screenshot has been released:
Watch an Astronaut Control an Earth-Based Robot from Space
ESA astronaut Andreas Mogensen remotely operated an-Earth based rover and its robotic arm while 400 km in orbit aboard the International Space Station.
The force-feedback-based teleoperation controls developed by the ESA let Andreas feel whenever the rover’s appendages meet resistance, allowing him to perform remote-controlled tasks in the sub-millimetre range.
Using the Interact Centaur rover, Mogensen successfully located an "operations task board" and then placed a metal plug into it with 0.15 mm of clearance. He also used the force-feedback joystick to differentiate the stiffness of different springs.
New Promo Video for The Flash Season 2
A new promo video for The Flash hints at what can be expected from season 2.
The 30-second clip shows the arrival of Jay Garrick (Teddy Sears), and offers a one-liner from Atom-Smasher (Adam Copeland), as well as a glimpse of what appears to be the Flash equivalent of the Bat-signal.
In the comics, Garrick is the first superhero to don the Flash mantra, while Atom-Smasher is a villain who boasts enhanced strength and the ability to become a whole lot bigger.
Garrick's appearance and a line from Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) suggests the second season will explore the multiple dimensional possibilities of the DC Universe.

New Christopher Nolan Movie Coming Out July 2017
Warner Bros. is scheduled to release an untitled Christopher Nolan movie on July 21, 2017, reports Variety.
Warner Bros. apparently holds all rights to the unspecified film but has revealed no further details beyond the planned date of release.
Nolan’s connection to Warner Bros. extends back to his 2002 psychological thriller Insomnia. The studio also distributed Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, Inception, and handled distribution outside North America for The Prestige and sci fi epic Interstellar.
It will be Nolan’s first feature film since 2014’s Interstellar, which hauled in over $670 million worldwide at the box office, although he more recently helmed a documentary on stop-motion animators Stephen and Timothy Quay.
Former Xbox Chief Says Xbox One Launch Mishaps Were Preventable
Former Microsoft President and Chief Xbox Officer Robbie Bach recently discussed the successes, failures, and strategies of the Xbox division, including the “predictable and preventable” Xbox One launch.
Speaking with GeekWire, Bach was asked about Microsoft’s policies and public relations missteps with the Xbox One under the supervision of former Xbox boss Don Mattrick.
“I think some of that was predictable and preventable,” Bach said, adding that the Xbox One has managed to put most of its troubles behind itself as it gains “share and volume.”
