Hayden Christensen’s return to a galaxy far far away continues as he is set to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Ahsoka series for Disney+. Christensen is already slated to return as Anakin in the upcoming Obi-Wan series.

The Hollywood Reporter says multiple Lucasfilm and Disney+ sources have confirmed that Christensen will return as Anakin Skywalker in the Ahsoka Tano series starring Rosario Dawson. Christensen first played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones and his arc through Episode 3 saw him lose to the Dark Side and eventually become Darth Vader.

Plot details for Ahsoka are being kept under wraps, though Dave Filoni is set to write the series and executive produce alongside Jon Favreau.

Ahsoka Tano is Anakin Skywalker's former Padawan and was introduced in the animated Clone Wars series. Given the two character's deep history together Christensen's return as Skywalker in Ahsoka seems like a no-brainer. But whether he will return as Anakin or Darth Vader remains to be seen.

Dawson plays an older version of Tano and made the character's live-action debut in the second season of The Mandalorian. It was later announced that Dawson will play Tano again in an Ahsoka solo series. Timeline-wise, Tano's first live-action appearance took place after the original trilogy, which means Vader would be dead by the events of The Mandalorian.

Meanwhile, Christensen is already returning to the Star Wars universe in the upcoming Obi-Wan series starring Ewan McGregor. This prequel series is set before the events of Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope and follows Obi-Wan as he navigates the fall of the Jedi Order and before taking Anakin's son, Luke Skywalker, under his wing.

Dune Part 2 is almost certainly on the cards, as Warner Bros. teases that the upcoming sequel to Dune is bound to happen.

Ann Sarnoff, WarnerMedia CEO of Studios and Network, hinted to Deadline that, despite not yet being green lit, Dune Part 2 is on its way:

“Will we have a sequel to Dune? If you watch the movie, you see how it ends. I think you pretty much know the answer to that,” she said.

Dune, which opened yesterday in theatres across the globe, is based on the book by Frank Herbert and tells only the first part of the story – the film even opens with a title card reading "Dune: Part 1", making it obvious that there's more story to tell.

It seems that it’s only a matter of time until Part 2 is officially confirmed, and director Denis Villeneuve recently told IGN’s Jim Vejvoda that he’s ready to start filming Dune Part 2 “as soon as possible”.

“I would be very ready to go quite quickly,” he confirmed. “To go quickly in a movie of that size, you still need to make sets, costumes, so we are talking about months. But if ever there's enthusiasm and the movie is greenlit sooner than later, I will say that I will be ready to shoot in 2022 for sure.”

That doesn’t mean the production will be rushed, however, as Villeneuve confirmed that the emphasis is always on quality.

“I am ready to go, and I will say that I would love to bring it to the screen as soon as possible,” he explained. “The first film, I really had time to make sure that it was exactly the way I wanted it to be. I would love to have the same feeling when I make the second part. That would be the priority. Quality will be the priority.”

Dune is already off to a promising start, with a $36.8 million international opening. If Warner Bros. is waiting to see how the film performs before green lighting Dune Part 2, this certainly looks promising, and with Dune opening today across North America, it likely won’t be long until the sequel is officially announced.

Beloved indie survival games Don't Starve and Terrarria are trading monsters as part of a collaborative Halloween crossover.

Over on Twitter, the Terraria account announced that the two games would be trading elements with a video captioned, "Just a bit of news, no big deal." The accompanying clip showed Terraria's Eye of Cthulhu breaching into the world of Don't Starve - much to the confusion and bewilderment of the game's protagonist Wilson.

A subsequent reply from Don't Starve developer Klei added its own captioned video. The short teaser clip showed Don't Starve's Deerclops stomping through a blizzard-filled Terraria landscape. "Oops, I think we mixed something up somewhere," reads the accompanying caption. "Oh well, I'm sure it will all sort itself out by next month."

While both monsters have seen a change to their aesthetic in the swap, they come across pretty well. Granted the eye of Cthulhu seems to have lost a blood vessel or two and Deerclops feels a little more pixel-y around the edges, but overall both monsters look well-suited to their new environments and what looks to be a temporary stay in unknown lands.

News of the crossover comes after Terraria developer Re-Logic recently told fans that it wasn't quite done working on the game. As spotted by Destructoid, the developer posted to Terraria's Steam page to tell fans that it is currently optimizing the game for Steam Deck. According to the update, that work is "going quite well," which should be pleasing for those hoping to pick it up on the handheld after launch.

Last month, Terraria released its 1.4 Journey's End update for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players. The update brought with it a number of changes to the game including Master and Journey modes as well as new enemies, additional biomes, and more. For the latest tips, tricks, and guides for the game, make sure to check out our dedicated Terraria page here on IGN - who knows, you might even find something that helps fend off a Deerclops.

Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp has been delayed, because the game "needs a little more time for fine tuning."

Originally scheduled for December 3 on Nintendo Switch, the delay pushes the game to an unspecified date in spring 2022.

Hello, troops! #AdvanceWars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp, which was set to launch on 12/3, will now release for #NintendoSwitch in spring 2022. The game just needs a little more time for fine tuning. You'll be battling with Andy & friends soon! Thanks for your patience. pic.twitter.com/dSi8VSsxTH

Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone (aka ConcernedApe) recently revealed that his next game will be Haunted Chocolatier - a top-down pixel-based sim that bears a strong resemblance to his previous work. While the developer has since shown off gameplay footage of Haunted Chocolatier on YouTube and shared details about what fans can expect from it, he's also said that the game isn't the only project that he's been working on.

Following the game's announcement, Barone has answered a range of common questions surrounding Haunted Chocolatier as part of an F.A.Q. on its website. Fans of the developer's work can find out a range of information here including how similar Haunted Chocolatier will be to Stardew Valley and whether or not Barone can commit to a release date for the game – he can't at the moment, in case you were wondering.

Elsewhere in the F.A.Q, Barone discusses how long the game has been in development and how he's been spending his time over the last year. "I started working on [Haunted Chocolatier] a little over 1 year ago, in 2020," the developer says. "Since then, I’ve been working on it mostly in evenings and on the weekends, because I’m still actively working on Stardew Valley related things. It’s actually not the first or only “new project” I’ve been working on, but it’s the one that I believe I will finish first."

Barone doesn't go into detail about what the other project he's currently working on is, and instead moves on to discuss the fact that Haunted Chocolatier will be single-player only. Whether or not the developer will wait until after Haunted Chocolatier is released to speak further about his other projects is currently unclear. However, as the recently announced sim is currently "still in early development", fans will likely be hoping to hear more about Barone's other works before that point.

Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition will be released digitally on November 11, with physical releases to follow on December 7. The news comes alongside a first look at the updated versions of the three classic games. The Trilogy costs $59.99 USD / £54.99.

The three remasters included – GTA 3, GTA: Vice City, and GTA: San Andreas – have been created for modern platforms in Unreal Engine by Grove Street Games, which previously worked on the mobile ports for GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas, as well as the PS3 and 360 versions of the latter. The trilogy is initially coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via the Rockstar Games Launcher.

Rockstar says the games come with a "completely rebuilt lighting system; improved shadows, weather, and reflections; upgraded character and vehicle models; along with new higher resolution textures across buildings, weapons, roads, interiors, and more." Draw distances have been improved, new foliage has been added, and surfaces have been smoothed.

Rockstar has explained that all three games also feature quality-of-life improvements such as updated controls inspired by GTA 5, "improvements to targeting and lock-on aiming, updated Weapon and Radio Station Wheels, updated Mini-Maps with enhanced navigation allowing players to set waypoints to destinations, updated Achievements, Trophies, and more." You'll also be able to immediately restart a failed mission, cutting out major points of frustration from the originals.

The Switch version of the game will include gyro aiming, as well as touchscreen support. The PC version will also support Nvidia DLSS. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the games will display at 4K, with up to 60 FPS performance.

While not confirmed at time of writing, the games will potentially be released individually as well as part of a collection – San Andreas - The Definitive Edition will launch into Xbox Game Pass on November 11, while GTA 3 - The Definitive Edition will be added to PlayStation Now on December 7.

Physical releases of the trilogy will come to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. No mention of a PS5 physical version has been made, although the PS4 version will almost certainly be compatible with PS5. No release date has been announced for the promised mobile versions of the games.

After months of rumours, Rockstar finally confirmed the trilogy of remasters earlier in October. Ahead of the release, Rockstar removed previous versions of all three games from digital storefronts, a decision which left many fans conflicted.

After eFootball's calamitous launch, Konami promised a patch, 0.9.1 to fix many of the reported issues. Unfortunately, that fix has now been delayed to early November.

Originally scheduled for October 28, Konami has now announced on Twitter that fixes won't arrive until an unspecified date in early November.

Update for our followers: pic.twitter.com/uCWiqitO52

— eFootball (@play_eFootball) October 22, 2021

The tweet reads: "We would like to inform all users that we have decided to delay the release of version 0.9.1 to early November. We sincerely apologise for the delay and the inconvenience caused. Our hope is that the additional time taken will allow us to ensure the experience is improved for all of our users.

"We will announce the date and details of the fixes as soon as they are confirmed. In the meantime, we will continue to work on improving the game and look forward to working with you on eFootball 2022."

The launch version of eFootball, which Konami had billed as essentially a demo of the game to come, launched with a range of problems, including glitches, poor AI, and some wildly inaccurate player models. Our review in progress said that "eFootball has a lot of work left to do on the pitch to make people actually want to play it in the first place," giving it a provisional score of 3/10.

eFootball is a full rebrand of the long-running Pro Evolution Soccer series, dropping annual paid releases for a free-to-play structure. It's not been a promising start to that new era.

10 Cloverfield Lane star Mary Elizabeth Winstead has revealed that she had "no idea" she was making a Cloverfield movie while it was in production.

In case you didn't know, Dan Trachtenberg's 10 Cloverfield Lane initially began life as a spec script titled The Cellar and it was later shot under the codename "Valencia" before morphing into a Cloverfield spinoff. Winstead recently told Collider that she only found out about the movie's connection to the Cloverfield universe right before its theatrical release.

"I had no idea it was a Cloverfield movie!" Winstead admitted. "It was an idea that was floated around but wasn't something that was really, officially like, 'This is part of that universe.' It was its own standalone film and then, just before the movie came out, spoke with JJ [Abrams] and it was like, 'Oh no, this is gonna be part of the Cloverfield franchise.'

"I really didn't know what to think of it at first," Winstead said, reflecting on the moment she found out the movie was part of the series. "I hadn't really wrapped my brain around it and then, once everything got laid out and it made sense and the marketing for it came out, I was like, 'Oh, I see how this fits together, this kind of puzzle,' and it's actually really smart."

The 2016 film tells the story of a young woman named Michelle, portrayed by Winstead, who, after getting into a car accident, wakes up to find herself being held in an underground bunker with two men who claim the outside world is affected by a widespread mysterious attack, and that their only hope of survival is to remain sheltered inside the cellar.

Trachtenberg previously told IGN that surprisingly very little about the project changed after it was decided that it would become a spiritual successor to Cloverfield. He said they had considered some connections, such as whether to include the satellite from the first movie, but ultimately it was only the one shot of the mailbox that they added later on.

Since 10 Cloverfield Lane's release, there has been one further installment in the monster movie franchise. The third movie in the series, The Cloverfield Paradox, found its way onto Netflix in 2018. And while we called the movie's plotting too predictable in our review, it was very interesting to see how it managed to tie the whole Cloverfield universe together.
