Hogwarts Legacy is seemingly slated to launch after the theatrical release of Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in 2022.

Reddit user SeerPumpkin shared a Toy World magazine interview in which Warner Bros. General Manager Rachel Wakley hinted that the release window for Hogwarts Legacy, the highly anticipated open-world action RPG set in the world of Harry Potter, would come after the next Fantastic Beasts movie, though she didn't specify an exact release date.

Speaking about the Wizarding World IP, Wakley touched on some new developments coming through next year. She referred to "two major releases" in 2022, with the first being Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, which recently moved up in the theatrical release calendar to April 15, and the second being Hogwarts Legacy, which was delayed in January.

"The second major release of 2022 will be for a new console game: Hogwarts Legacy," Wakley told the publication. "The reaction to the trailer has been amazing and it looks set to be a huge success. We know that gaming is such an important part of the market and one that we had to be involved in. From what we've seen, the launch will be well worth the wait and will deliver a unique way for fans to interact with the franchise."

Hogwarts Legacy was first announced at last year's September PS5 event, with a reveal trailer ending on a 2021 release window. However, at the beginning of this year, the game was delayed until 2022. The publisher thanked fans on Twitter for the "tremendous reaction" to the game's announcement while also confirming the new release window.

Hogwarts Legacy is being developed by Portkey Games (WB Game's Harry Potter game division) and Avalanche Software (Disney Infinity) and is coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, where players will be able to step into the Wizarding World to take control of the action and be at the center of their very own adventure.

The reveal trailer showed all manner of activities you'd expect to see at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, including the sorting hat ceremony and a variety of classes featuring students in robes from all four houses. It also teased Hogsmeade and dangers that players might face outside of student halls such as Dementors and dark wizards.

Konami has announced that it has temporarily removed the sale of multiple versions of Metal Gear Solid 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3 from sale on digital stores.

The temporary removal of the games is due to Konami needing to renew the licenses for some historical archive footage that is used in the games.

“We are currently working on renewing the licenses for select historical archive footage used in-game, therefore, we have made the temporary decision to begin suspending the sale of METAL GEAR SOLID 2, METAL GEAR SOLID 3 and all products that include these games from digital storefronts globally starting from November 8th, 2021,” explained a post on Konami’s website.

Being removed from sale are the following games:

• Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty HD Edition on PS3 and PS Vita
• Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater HD Edition on PS3 and PS Vita
• Metal Gear Solid HD Edition on PS3
• Metal Gear Solid HD Collection on PS Vita and PS Now
• Metal Gear Solid HD Edition: 2 & 3 on Xbox 360
• Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D on Nintendo 3DS
• Metal Gear Solid 2 Substance on GOG.com
• Metal Gear Solid 2 HD for SHIELD TV on Nvidia Shield
• Metal Gear Solid 3 HD for SHIELD TV on Nvidia Shield

“We sincerely ask for your patience and understanding as we work towards making these products available for purchase once again,” concluded the post. No timeframe or end date was given for when the games can be expected to return for sale.

In other recent-ish Metal Gear news, the servers for Metal Gear Solid 5 are being taken offline for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. DLC will no longer be available from November 30, and full shutdown will happen next year.

With Konami not publicly working on a Metal Gear Solid game, jumping into the old games is currently the only way to get some Solid Snake stealth action. A studio is rumoured to be remaking MGS 3, though.

A new poster for Spider-Man: No Way Home has given us our first look at the return of Green Goblin from the upcoming film set to arrive exclusively in theaters on December 17, 2021.

While the poster, which was posted to Twitter by the official Spider-Man: New Way Home account, shares another look Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus and appears to tease the return of both Jamie Foxx's Electro with a lightning strike and possibly Sandman with a rising storm of dust, it's the small glimpse of Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin over Spider-Man's left shoulder that catches our eye the most.

Dafoe's Green Goblin can be heard in the first official trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home, and this poster brings us one step closer to seeing these villains from the other Spider-Man films showing up in the MCU thanks to the Multiverse being unleashed.

While we've been getting a bunch of hints that we'll be seeing many familiar villains in the upcoming film, fans are also eagerly waiting to see if both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will make their way through the multiverse to our MCU. Garfield has denied that he's in the movie, but we've all been fooled by actors before.

Alongside these exciting teases, it's also possible we may see The Lizard show up alongside Tom Hardy's Venom, the latter of whom was caught wearing a Spider-Man: No Way Home hat. While there are a ton of other reasons why he would be wearing that hat, Sony has said that there is "actually a plan" to connect Sony's Spider-Man Universe to the MCU.

As previously mentioned, Spider-Man: No Way Home will be released exclusively in theaters on December 17, 2021, and will be the next MCU film following Eternals, which was released this past weekend and earned $71 million at the domestic box office.

A new poster released in celebration of N7 Day has teased a bit of the future of Mass Effect and its next entry.

Shared on Twitter by the official Mass Effect Twitter account, the image appears to simply be a ship landing on a planet near a crater. However, the shape of the crater and circle in the middle are very reminiscent of the Geth - a group of networked AI beings that were created by the Quarian but eventually rose up and gained sentience. Legion was a Geth and was a member of Shepard's team.

If you look closely at the image, you see a group of four characters leaving the ship (potentially hinting at the party size of the next Mass Effect?). In the group, there appears to at least be one Krogan (like Wrex) and possibly a Salarian (like Mordin) or Turian (like Garrus)? They are very small, so it is hard to tell for sure and they could be anything.

The ship also bears the letters SFX. For reference, the Normandy from the original trilogy had the sign SR1.

Spoilers ahead for Mass Effect 3!

Near the crater, we also see the body of a dead Geth. While this may be a stretch, is there a possibillty this is the body of Legion and this is the planet Rannoch? While his death can occur in multiple ways, Legion does meet his end on Rannoch in Mass Effect 3.

Once again, this could just be a tease and not really make it into the final game, but this is another hint of a possible returning character after an Asari that very much resembled Liara T'Soni appeared in the new Mass Effect's announcement trailer.

The new Mass Effect looks to take place far in the future after the original trilogy, and Liara and the body of Legion could be one of the few remaining characters who could last that long. Liara looks much older than how we see her in the original games, and Asari are known to live past 1,000.

This is all speculation, and a bit hopeful on my part as Legion was one of my favorite characters in the Mass Effect Trilogy. However, that's what makes these teases so intriguing, because they are giving a glimpse of the future of one of the most celebrated franchises in gaming.

Vin Diesel has taken a step in ending the feud between him and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson by sharing an Instagram post that talks about how important he is to him and his family and how he "must show up" for Fast & Furious 10.

Diesel shared the letter with an image of his character Dominic Toretto and Johnson's Luke Hobbs, and his words describe how Diesel's children still refer to him as Uncle Dwayne and that "Hobbs can't be played by no other."

"My little brother Dwayne... the time has come," Diesel wrote. "The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don’t send well wishes... but the time has come. Legacy awaits.

"I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to Pablo. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love... but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play. Hobbs can’t be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny."

For those wondering who Pablo is, that is the nickname that Diesel gave the late Paul Walker, the actor who played Brian O'Conner in the Fast and Furious franchise. Walker and Diesel were very close, and Diesel even walked his daughter down the aisle at her wedding.

In October 2021, Johnson spoke out once again about his ongoing feud with Diesel that began in 2016 when The Rock called out an unnamed male co-star as a "candy ass." While it appeared to have ended in 2019, Johnson recently revealed he wouldn't be returning for Fast 10 or 11 following Diesel's comments that he had to show The Rock "tough love" to get the performance they needed from him.

While it remains to be seen if Diesel's words will help bring Johnson back to Fast 10 or 11, Johnson did confirm that he would at least be coming back to the character of Luke Hobbs in the sequel to Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw 2.

Five of Elden Ring's playable classes - Warrior, Enchanted Knight, Prophet, Champion, and Bloody Wolf - have been revealed ahead of its closed network test from November 12-14.

The official Elden Ring Twitter account shared these class names and some images of what your character would look like should you choose them when the game is released on February 25, 2022. There is no mention as to if these are the only classes that will be available at launch, and no further details are given for any of the classes.

By looking at the list, Warrior is the only returning class from a previous FromSoftware game, and the others appear to be new classes or variations on older ones. For comparison, Dark Souls had 10 classes, Dark Souls 2 had eight, Dark Souls 3 had 10, and Bloodborne had nine starting classes/origins. Sekiro had no classes as there was no character creator.

Elden Ring's upcoming network test is for console players only and its announcement came alongside the news that the game would be delayed a bit over a month from its original January 21 release date. Unfortunately for those just finding out about this, the closed network test signups ended on November 1.

Fans of Elden Ring were treated to 15 minutes of gameplay from the latest FromSoftware game, and it showed off our best look yet at the game's world, Elden Ring's bonfire alternative the Site of Grace, the map, Stormveil Castle, the Limgrave region, and a boss fight with Godrick the Golden.

Elden Ring's Collector's Edition was also revealed, and it contains a steelbook case, a 40-page artbook, a digital soundtrack, and a 23cm tall statue of Malenia, Blade of Miquella (the red-haired, helmeted character who was seen in the very first reveal of Elden Ring). There will also be a Premium version that includes a 1:1 scale replica of Malenia's winged helmet.
