The Super Mario Galaxy Movie(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-super-mario-galaxy-movie-plot-release-date-and-everything-we-know/1100-6536141/) isn't exactly getting stellar reviews(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-super-mario-galaxy-movie-as-reviewed-by-a-four-year-old/1100-6539197/), and while franchise creator Shigeru Miyamoto finds the film's poor critical reception "truly baffling(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/miyamoto-reacts-to-super-mario-galaxy-movies-bad-reviews-its-truly-baffling/1100-6539545/)," he's committed to bringing the film's lore into the game franchise upon which it is based. Specifically, Miyamoto has confirmed that Peach's family origins--which are revealed in the film--are considered canon in the Mario universe, games included.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformXbox Game Pass Could Lose Other Day-One New Releases Beyond Call Of Duty, Expert Says
The big Xbox Game Pass announcement this week was a price cut for the subscription and a major shakeup that sees new Call of Duty games no longer coming to the service at launch. Curiously, Microsoft's blog post(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/04/21/xbox-game-pass-update/) announcing the changes did not say all of Xbox's other first-party games will launch on day one into Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The blog post said only that Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers will get "major day-one releases." Given that language, many are wondering if other games beyond new Call of Duty releases could be stripped out of Game Pass for day-one launches, or "windowed," to use an industry term. That remains to be seen, but it's a possibility that analyst Piers Harding-Rolls of Ampere Analysis believes could happen.

🖥 PC, Multi-platformA Surprising 17-Years-Later Sequel Is Coming West This Year
A sequel to the 2008 MMORPG Aion(https://www.gamespot.com/games/aion/) will release globally later this year, 17 years after the original. Aion 2(https://www.gamespot.com/games/aion-2/) will see a global release via Steam(https://store.steampowered.com/app/3393110/AION2/), developer NCSoft announced, with servers for North America, South America, Japan, and Europe. The news comes after Aion 2's launch in South Korea and Taiwan last November to less-than-stellar reviews, with the game's microtransactions(https://www.pcgamer.com/games/mmo/ncsoft-launches-mmo-with-terrible-monetisation-puts-out-emergency-broadcast-15-hours-later-promising-to-fix-it-while-its-wax-wings-melt-we-were-complacent-and-unthoughtful/) being a major point of criticism. While the game is technically free-to-play, it does feature optional subscriptions and pay-to-win mechanics. NCSoft apologized for the game's monetization shortly after launch and vowed to make changes. What changes NCSoft may make to Aion 2 for its global release are still unclear, though the developer stated in its announcement that more news would be coming in May and it looked forward to answering questions from the game's community.
