Every Netflix Original Series You Can Stream Now
Netflix's plans to dominate the streaming world continue in 2018, with the company promising to release at least 700 original programs, which include new and recurring titles. With their viewing library growing at an exponential rate, we thought it would be fun to look at all of the original series they currently offer in the U.S. There are over 100 titles that you can stream right now with many more coming in the weeks ahead. Our list does not include kids shows, reality shows, talk shows, or any of the Netflix specials like the Beyond Stranger Things aftershow.
Also, you will notice that when referring to a series like The Killing, which was picked up by Netflix for its fourth and final season, we only give Netflix credit for the one season and however many episodes they actually produced. While the entire series is available to stream, the first three seasons of The Killing were produced by AMC and do not count as a Netflix original. Other series in that category include Black Mirror, Star Wars: The Clones Wars, and Glitch.
Ubisoft Announces For Honor PC Starter Edition for $15
Ubisot has announced a For Honor Starter Edition for PC for $14.99. It includes everything from the Standard Edition; the only difference is the number of playable heroes available at the start, and the way the Hero unlocking system works.
A post on Ubisoft's site explains that, while the three vanguard heroes will be fully unlocked from the outset, the three faction heroes that would also be fully unlocked in the Standard Edition and customizable for 500 Steel each will cost 8,000 Steel to fully unlock and customize in the Started Edition.
Bethesda Teasing Prey DLC, Reveal Could Be Today
Bethesda is teasing DLC for Prey on Twitter, with the latest clue possibly suggesting that the reveal is scheduled for today, March 15.
The ARG teasing the DLC has been going on for a number of weeks, with the moon appearing to be the location for the new content. The lunar terrain was posted in a tweet earlier this month, followed by concept art of a location clearly based on the moon. A summary of all of the breadcrumbs thus far has been posted on Reddit

"The Ghostbusters franchise has gone through a number of varied incarnations over the years, transitioning from the original movies to animated series like The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters to the 2016 movie reboot. One of the perks of IDW's long-running Ghostbusters comic is that all of these incarnations are allowed to coexist and intermingle. These books have established an entire Ghostbusters multiverse (one in which the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also exist, because why not?). The premise with IDW's latest Ghostbusters comic couldn't be more straightforward or appealing. What if every incarnation of the Ghostbusters joined forces for one epic, paranormal adventure?" -Jesse
Geralt From The Witcher Confirmed as Soulcalibur 6 Character
After a week of speculation, Bandai Namco and CD Projekt Red have confirmed that Geralt of Rivia will appear as a guest character in Soulcalibur 6.
The hero of The Witcher series was shown off in a new trailer, which you can watch below:
Geralt will be voiced by original voice actor Doug Cockle, and brings with him a Kaer Morhen stage to fight across. The soundtrack for the stage will be "Hunt or Be Hunted" from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Geralt makes sense as a Soulcalibur guest - he's got the old-timey aesthetic, focus on swordplay, and a touch of magic for good measure. We've already seen him using a series of his Sign spells, so it seems he'll be able to mix things up a little.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider Officially Announced
Square Enix has formally announced Shadow of the Tomb Raider, which will be released on September 14 for PC, Xbox One and PS4 (including PS4 Pro and Xbox One X versions). The third in the rebooted Tomb Raider series will "deliver Lara Croft's defining moment", according to a press release.
Not much about the game - which is reportedly being developed by Eidos Montreal, rather than reboot creator Crystal Dynamics - is given away in the trailer but there's a heavy theme of eclipses and darkness. A full reveal will arrive on April 27.
Watch the teaser trailer below:
