Will There Be Another Star Wars Movie?
With The Rise of Skywalker finally out in the world, The Mandalorian gearing up for Season 2 on Disney+, and word that Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are not making their own Star Wars trilogy anymore, it's time to take a look once again at all the Star Wars movies and TV shows on the horizon. (And a few that aren't happening anymore while we're at it.)
From scoundrels to Jedi masters to bounty hunters, we've cooked up a list featuring all the upcoming Star Wars projects. While some are locked and others are just strong rumors, one thing's for sure - there are passionate plans in the works to give us A LOT of Star Wars, whether it's a story centered on beloved characters or an entirely new cosmic adventure.
Monster Hunter World Patch Fixes Squad Issues and Matchmaking
Monster Hunter World has had some matchmaking issues on Xbox One since launch, which the developers promised to look into after complaints were raised. Both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions have had an update to fix squad and matchmaking, as well as ironing out additional kinks on PS4. Three new event quests have also gone live.
Capcom posted the patch notes for both consoles on its blog, and while it looks like there's still some work to be done to root out the niggles in Xbox One's matchmaking, it's advised a workaround for now and recommended players check their NAT settings, as the issue has resolved itself for some people after setting their NAT connection to 'open'.
