Assassin’s Creed: Shadows confirms Switch 2 release, but continues a worrying trend

by

The Nintendo Switch 2 got off to a great start, even though there were some problems with pre-orders and initial requests for a lower price. Considering the original Switch is one of the best-selling game consoles ever, it’s not surprising that game companies are eager to release their games on the new system – especially now that it’s powerful enough to run modern games smoothly. However, a key technique used in the success of Star Wars Outlaws appears to be influencing how Shadows is being developed, too.

A Silent-Film Festival Gives a Breathtaking Perspective on Palestine

by

Premiering at the Arab Film Festival in Berlin last year and shown at Pordenone last month, Palestine: A Revised Narrative is a unique film experience called a “cine-concert.” It combines edited silent newsreel footage of Palestine from Britain’s Imperial War Museum with a live, 30-minute musical performance by Beirut-based artist Cynthia Zaven. Zaven’s score blends original music with atmospheric soundscapes created with Lebanese sound designer Rana Eid. The soundscapes include distant recordings of speeches by figures like Yasser Arafat and Henry Kissinger, where the words fade into a low hum, as well as old audio recordings of Haifa discovered in Eid’s family archives.

The Next DCU Crossover Event May Have Just Been Revealed by DC Studios

by

I’m hearing some interesting news out of DC Studios. Knight Edge Media is reporting they’ve trademarked the name “Salvation Run” – and they filed it just days after the Peacemaker Season 2 finale aired! While DC Comics already owns the rights to “Salvation Run” in the comic book world, it seems DC Studios is securing a separate trademark, likely for a potential movie – it could be live-action or animated, they haven’t specified yet. It definitely sounds like they’re developing something new based on that title, and I’m intrigued to see where they take it.
