🎮 Multi-platformHot Toys’ New Marvel Rivals Figure Is Going To Make A Certain Kind Of Collector Very Happy
With San Diego Comic-Con kicking off this weekend, Hot Toys has unveiled several new sixth-scale figures, including a Luna Snow collectible that's going to make Marvel Rivals fans very happy. This is the first sixth-scale Marvel Rivals(https://www.gamespot.com/games/marvel-rivals/) figure from the company, and like all of its other collectibles in this line, it's an impressive-looking replica of the South Korean K-Pop idol turned cryokinetic superhero. When it comes to figures that show plenty of skin, Hot Toys usually uses a specialized silicone body to make them look as life-like as possible. The Luna Snow figure follows this approach, and she's dressed in her default Marvel Rivals costume that features a blue, black, and white color scheme. For the headsculpt, Hot Toys has gone with a sculpted black-and-white two-toned asymmetrical mid-length bob hairstyle, and the head also has separate rolling eyeballs for when you need a subtle expression. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-1.jpg?w=1024) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-2.jpg?w=1024) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-3.jpg?w=1024) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-4.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-5.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-6.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-7.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-8.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-9.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-10.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-11.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-12.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-13.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-14.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-15.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-16.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-17.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-18.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-19.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-20.jpg?w=683) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-21.jpg?w=1024) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-22.jpg?w=1024) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-23.jpg?w=1024) !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Hot-Toys-Luna-Snow-24.jpg?w=1024) As usual, you're getting several swap-out hands, including pairs that allow her to use her iconic "hand heart" and "finger heart" gesture emotes. Her jacket also looks like a work of mini-tailoring art with its straps, buckles, and studs, and other accessories include a floating music notes effect, a stand featuring the Marvel Rivals logo and character nameplate, and an attack effect. There's no release date or pricing yet, but Hot Toys usually announces these figures with a minimum of a year's lead time and a retail price of around $300 through vendors like Sideshow Collectibles. If a superhero K-pop star doesn't appeal to you, you can also check out the new--and very limited--edition of Sam Porter Bridges from Death Stranding 2: On the Beach that Hot Toys revealed. While the company revealed figures based on theintrepid courier(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/impressive-death-stranding-2-figure-has-real-hair-tiny-dollman-and-weaponized-pizza/2900-6779/) and his nemesis, Higgs(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/hot-toys-reveals-death-stranding-2-higgs-figure-that-looks-impressively-realistic/2900-7200/), last year, this new limited-edition version(https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=hottoys&set=a.1467281365435871) features a Timefall-resistant suit that's adorned with illustrations by Junji Ito, one of the greatest horror manga storytellers of the modern era. Other figures coming from Hot Toys include a monstrous Alien Queen from Aliens, an intimidating Savage Hulk from Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a quarter-scale replica of The Dark Knight's Joker, and a whole lot of Kamen Riders. Last week also saw the first look at a new Street Fighter 2 Cammy figure(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-1000-street-fighter-cammy-figure-is-impressive-but-we-know-whos-buying-it/) from Infinity Studio, a massive 1:3 scale replica of the M. Bison clone. Meanwhile, Marvel Rivals has gotten a substantial update for Season 9. A ground-up rework has introduced new strategies to the game, the Team-Up System has been transformed, and the X-Man Jubilee has been added to the game roster.

🎮 Multi-platformCall Of Duty Movie Gets A Key Update About Its Setting
Activision has clarified a key detail about the upcoming Call of Duty movie from director Peter Berg and writer Taylor Sheridan. At Fanatics Fest this weekend, Berg confirmed that the movie takes place in the Modern Warfare universe. This is a major detail, considering the Call of Duty series is known for its multiple brands, including Modern Warfare, Black Ops, and others, each with its own distinct tones, settings, and characters. Many were wondering which universe the film might take place in, and now we know. The Call of Duty movie releases in theaters on June 30, 2028. There is no word yet on the cast or specific plot points, however. https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/2078547067577004220 The Call of Duty movie is in the works at Paramount, which is owned by billionaire David Ellison, who himself is a big fan of Call of Duty(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-movie-release-date-trailer-story-cast-director-writer/1100-6536962/). Paramount is in the midst of trying to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for more than $100 billion. Director Peter Berg is known for his action and war movies, including Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon. In the world of TV, he garnered praise for the drama miniseries Painkiller, which was about the opioid epidemic in America. As for writer Taylor Sheridan, he's known for writing and directing the movies Sicario, Wind River, and Hell or High Water. He also created the popular Yellowstone TV series. In recent times, he's railed against Hollywood media, saying he gets excited by rage-baiting the press(https://people.com/taylor-sheridan-says-los-angeles-is-built-on-sand-when-asked-if-he-d-return-to-film-his-shows-12009512) with his works. Just because a movie has been announced, that doesn't necessarily mean it'll ever be made, however. There are dozens of video game movies currently at some stage of production(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/video-game-movies-in-the-works/2900-5059/), and no one expects them all to come out. This is just the latest attempt to make a Call of Duty movie. Activision first announced plans for an entire connected universe of Call of Duty movies more than 10 years ago(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-movies-skylanders-tv-show-in-the-work/1100-6432055/), and nothing ever came of that. As for the Modern Warfare game series, the newest entry, Modern Warfare 4, comes out this October. The game will have a free open beta at some point before launch, and preordering gets you in early(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-4-open-beta-confirmed-and-you-can-get-in-early/).

🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Explains What Makes A Game An Xbox Exclusive
Amidst mass layoffs(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-layoffs-studio-closures-and-spin-offs-everything-announced-today/) and increasing hardware prices(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/microsoft-is-increasing-the-cost-of-xbox-consoles-again-starting-in-august/), one of the other side effects of the Xbox "reset" is a renewed focus on console exclusives. While we know that Gears of War: E-Day(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/gears-of-war-e-day-skipping-ps5-means-reaching-fewer-players-and-microsoft-is-ok-with-that/) and Clockwork Revolution(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/clockwork-revolution-is-another-xbox-console-exclusive-coming-in-2027/) will only be available on Xbox Series X|S and PC, they won't be the only two exclusives landing on those platforms. "I can assure you, Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are not the only titles we're planning," chief strategy officer Matthew Ball said to GamesRadar(https://www.gamesradar.com/games/xbox-return-to-console-exclusivity-report/section-the-return-of-first-party-exclusives). "To grow a platform like ours, you have to have exclusive games and services. These are not going to be the only two titles. To return our platform to consistent growth, we need a reliable pipeline of exclusive games. Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are just the first." While Xbox has its eye on drawing more people to its platforms through the power of exclusives--it is aiming to "entertain" a billion people every day(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-wants-to-entertain-1-billion-people-every-day-it-cant-even-explain-how/), eventually--not every game will be locked to Xbox. Ball added that "large live-service titles" will continue to be multiplatform titles, and some single-player games could also make their way to hardware like the PS5. As Ball explained, Microsoft has a "framework" in place for deciding which games will be Xbox exclusives and which ones will expand to additional platforms, as the company decides on a case-by-case basis. "I recognize that this approach is not obvious to all of our players, and we are committed to making this clearer," Ball said. While the new Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution won't be landing on PS5, Halo: Campaign Evolved(https://www.gamespot.com/games/halo-campaign-evolved/) and Fable(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/fable-4-everything-we-know/1100-6485774/) will be available on the Sony platform the same day and date as the Xbox and PC versions of the game. Halo: Campaign Evolved executive producer Damon Conn added that going multiplatform was the right approach for the game as it celebrates its 25th anniversary, as this will allow friends to enjoy shared experiences no matter which system(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-campaign-evolved-cross-play-and-cross-saves-explained/) they're on. While Xbox seems adamant to offer exclusive games once again, one analyst believes that Gears of War: E-Day and Clockwork Revolution are being used as sacrificial lambs(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/upcoming-xbox-exclusives-are-being-sent-out-to-die-analyst-says-xbox-pushes-back/) to win back hearts and minds, following several months of bad news at the Microsoft gaming division.

🍄 Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformMost Nintendo Employees Found Out About Tears Of The Kingdom When You Did
Nintendo has a good track record when it comes to keeping secrets, and in the case of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom/), the Breath of the Wild(https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/) sequel's announcement was one of the company's most confidential projects. In fact, the game's existence was so secret that many Nintendo employees only found out about it when it was teased during the E3 2019 Nintendo Direct livestream. According to former Nintendo of America marketing and PR leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang, Tears of the Kingdom had a "higher level" of security than any other Nintendo project that they worked on, and they claimed that only a small handful of people at NoA knew about it. https://youtu.be/eeyniV4efYM?t=3329 Ellis, who was the director of social media marketing and original content at the time, said that he was trusted enough to be told about the sequel and that he had to work on it in secret, with his social team none the wiser. "I had a ton to do. There was this big communications team, like an E3 machine, cranking out materials, and obviously the main place for this was in the Nintendo Direct," Ellis said. It became clear, I have to do these different teams' jobs in secret, and when this happens, feed them this thing and tell them what to do with it." Yang added that the official teaser was a big hit amongst the surprised Nintendo employees, with staff promptly celebrating the surprise reveal. A few years later, Tears of the Kingdom landed on Switch consoles and earned rave reviews(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-legend-of-zelda-tears-of-the-kingdom-review/1900-6418063/) across the world for how it expanded on Breath of the Wild and pushed its gameplay systems to new heights. Both games were also updated for the Switch 2 when it launched last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DRARZQexW4 The franchise has had a constant presence on Nintendo hardware for several years now, with last year's Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment acting as a prequel to Tears of the Kingdom by detailing the events of Zelda's trip back in time. This year will see the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-finally-reveals-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-remake-for-2026/), and in the not-so-distant future, we're also getting a live-action Zelda movie(https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/the-legend-of-zelda-movie-release-date-trailer-story/2900-6252/) and some new action figures(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/hasbro-announces-partnership-with-nintendo-for-zelda-toys-first-will-be-revealed-soon/).
