Katy Perry has dropped a new track in collaboration with The Pokemon Company for the franchise's 25th anniversary of its titular product, Pokemon. The song, titled "Electric," is an endearing homage to the story and characters, illuminating that it's possible for anyone and everyone to evolve.What's more, Pikachu makes an appearance as Perry's companion throughout the "Electric" music video. And about a third of the way through, after Perry conjures her younger self (portrayed by performer Meili Aspen Caputo), Pichu shows up. The song's overall message states that "if you believe it then you can" achieve any and all goals you have laid out for yourself.This is reinforced as the "Electric" music video showcases the young Perry singing alongside Pichu, the only one who would listen to her perform. Perry's biggest cheerleader, Pichu encourages her to continue playing music despite the slow-growing audience. It all culminates with a young Perry performing at a packed talent show, as present-day Perry and Pikachu look on in amusement.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actor Gillian Anderson (The X-Files, The Crown) will be making a guest star appearance in The Great for Season 2, according to a release. In the Hulu series that's an ahistorical, satirical dramedy about Catherine the Great's rise to power, Anderson will play Catherine's mother, Joanna.In the show, Joanna will be "a glamorous socialite from Germany, sometimes also known as the 'maestro of marriage' for her abilities to arrange high-profile partnerships for her daughters." Anderson will play Joanna for two episodes, in which the character "has heard rumors of her daughter's coup and come[s] to Russia to see it for herself" with "sinister intentions." It's a safe bet that Anderson's recent performance as Margaret Thatcher on The Crown will have come in handy with how to spoof a historical performance based on a real person.In addition to Anderson as guest star, the series regulars include stars Elle Fanning (20th Century Women) as Catherine, Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class), Phoebe Fox (Black Mirror), Adam Godley (The X-Files: I Want to Believe), Gwilym Lee (Bohemian Rhapsody), Charity Wakefield (Day of the Flowers), Douglas Hodge (Joker), Sacha Dhawan (Line of Duty), and Belinda Bromilow (Packed to the Rafters).Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nolan North, the voice actor who plays Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series, has shared a little more insight into the upcoming Uncharted movie starring Tom Holland.He said on the Good Game Nice Try podcast that he believes in Holland as an actor and the take that Sony is going for with the film and its story. Instead of tracing the story of any of the Uncharted games, the movie will pick up with Drake in his 20s, which is about a decade before we met him in the games.North said the Uncharted movie is not being labeled as a prequel, but it does tell the story of what Drake was doing before the events of the game, it seems.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The untitled series will be an origin story for the show's Queen Charlotte's character, and Shonda Rhimes (How to Get Away with Murder) will be writing at least the pilot or each episode of what's being billed as a limited series."Many viewers had never known the story of Queen Charlotte before Bridgerton brought her to the world, and I'm thrilled this new series will further expand her story and the world of Bridgerton," said Netflix vice president of content Bela Bajaria (via THR).

The original three Mass Effect games always influenced each other as part of one long, expansive story. But with Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, BioWare has implemented changes that make your choices matter even more between games. That's most true in Mass Effect 3, where everything you do in Mass Effect 1 and 2 matters greatly to what happens at the end of the game, thanks to a change to the Mass Effect 3's Galaxy at War system.When it was first released, Mass Effect 3 took into account actions you made in both its multiplayer mode and in mobile apps, which affected the strength of the army you raise to battle the Reapers in the single-player campaign. But that was way back in 2013; multiplayer isn't part of Legendary Edition, and the apps and other outside elements are no longer a part of the game. So BioWare has changed the Galaxy at War system significantly, deleting the part that was tied to multiplayer and changing the math a bit to determine your overall military strength.Mass Effect: Legendary Edition's take on Mass Effect 3 might be a little confusing for returning players who expect lots of moving parts, but it's actually been simplified. Below is everything you need to know about Galaxy at War, the Galactic Readiness system, war assets, and everything else related to the ending of Mass Effect 3, and be sure to check out the rest of the changes to the original games in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition you need to know about.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The long-running, hit police sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine that started on Fox back in 2013 will air its final season on NBC starting in August, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Considering the series was once extremely close to never getting past Season 5, following Fox's cancellation in May 2018, the show has enjoyed an unexpected renewal and rejuvenation.The upcoming Season 8 may feature a storyline about the COVID-19 pandemic. Co-creator Dan Goor had mentioned in interviews last year that he and the show's writing team "value[s] escapism, but at the same time, we don't want to be ignorant… there is a debate about what next year will look like." Most likely, Goor says, the show will explore more subtle ways of acknowledging the crisis rather than "toiling away in the depths."By now, those plans could have changed, since that was in April 2020 as the pandemic was just getting underway and the show's creative team was beginning to meet and break new story ideas--and before several months of social unrest involving real police brutality. Also, crucially, this was before it was known that Brooklyn Nine-Nine would wind up ending with an abbreviated, delayed new season running only 10 episodes.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Marvel Studios has a reputation for secret keeping that some actors--like the now notorious Tom Holland--just can't help but tarnish every chance they get. Others, however, like Dave Bautista, try to toe the line with a little more poise--that is, to a certain point. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bautista explained that he can "neither confirm nor deny" that he'll be appearing as Drax in the upcoming Thor 4, but, yeah, he's definitely in Thor 4.Most fans already knew this would be the case after the Guardians cast was photographed flying to Australia to film and Star-Lord himself, Chris Pratt, confirmed his involvement. Bautisa had a good laugh about it, saying "Well, assuming that I went to Australia to shoot for Thor 4…I know that Chris Pratt has announced that he’s in Thor 4, but I haven't heard from anybody at Marvel or Disney where it would be OK for me to say that I was in Thor 4. So I will neither confirm nor deny."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The Trials of Osiris event in Destiny 2 is back in the Season of the Splicer, and it brings new and returning weapons back to the loot pool. Most notably, this first competition adds Shayura's Wrath, a new Trials SMG--and it's pretty easy to get. Here's what you can expect from Trials of Osiris today and what map you'll play.As always, this weekend's Trials event continues to the Tuesday weekly reset, so you've got until May 18 to earn rewards and spend tokens with Saint-14.Trials of Osiris Map And Rewards (May 7-11)Map: Endless Vale3 wins -- Shayura's Wrath, Void SMG5 wins -- Eye of Sol, Kinetic sniper rifle7 wins -- Hunter, Titan, and Warlock Chest Armor - Pyrrhic Ascent Vest, Plate, and VestmentFlawless run -- The Messenger (Adept)The Trials of Osiris runs from Friday to Tuesday every week, providing one of the toughest challenges in Destiny 2 for Crucible players.

Today's a good day to buy games to support developers, as digital storefront Itch.io is holding its first ever "Creator Day." For the rest of the day, when you purchase anything on the store, 100% of revenue brought in through Itch.io will go to the creator.This is an excellent event that can make a big difference for small and independent studios, especially as this can be used to drum up more attention for small games. Itch.io is already extremely friendly to small devs; its normal revenue cut defaults to just 10%, although studios can elect to kick an additional percentage to Itch.io if they so choose. The promotion runs all day until 11:59 PM PT/2:59 AM ET/7:59 AM BST.

Marvel Studios is finally going big on TV. One of the series further out on the horizon is Marvel Studios' Secret Invasion. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the thriller now has its directors.Thomas Bezucha (Let Him Go) and Ali Selim (The Looming Tower) will helm the series. Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Mendelsohn will reprise their roles as Nick Fury and the shape-shifting Skrull called Talos respectively. Recent casting news has Olivia Colman, Emilia Clarke, and Kingsley Ben-Adir joining them on screen. Kyle Bradstreet, who wrote and executive produced Mr. Robot, is writing and executive producing Secret Invasion.Details on Secret Invasion are very light otherwise. Marvel is keeping the plot under lock and key. In the Marvel comics, the Secret Invasion storyline revealed that Skrulls had replaced a number of superheroes in an attempt to gain control over the planet. The Skrulls we've met so far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, however, have been framed as refugees. 2019's Captain Marvel's climax had its titular character fighting off Kree warriors so that a small group of Skrulls could get away to safety. Talos and Soren once again popped up in Spider-Man: Far From Home, where we saw them working actively with Fury. If the Skrulls are once again the ones invading, that could put Ben Mendelsohn's Talos in an interesting predicament.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
