Spider-Man has officially joined Fortnite Chapter 3 and people have been impressed at how smoothly Spider-Man swings around with his webs.

The friendly neighborhood superhero was introduced into Fortnite this past weekend as the game transitioned to Chapter 3, Season 1. New, Spider-Man-specific mechanics were introduced where players can now slide and even swing to imitate Spider-Man's movements.

As you can see from the clip below, Peter Parker's webs attach to buildings rather than just magically sticking to some nebulous spot in the air, providing a more realistic depiction of traversal. There's a real sense of height that makes the web-swinging feel thrilling.

Additionally, the momentum and direction at which he swings look great as well. He can also mimic web surfing by shooting a web behind a car and letting it drive off, pulling him forward. The web-slinging is popular enough that starting on December 11, any character, regardless of if they have the Spider-Man skin, will be able to web-swing.

Fortnite's version of Spider-Man has been compared to his portrayal in recent games, such as Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man and Square Enix's Marvel's Avengers. Particularly, as the latter's Spider-Man seems to have a rather lackluster web traversal.

In Avengers, Spider-Man effectively swings from a glass ceiling and doesn't seem to gain as much time in the air since the game is primarily designed around open fields. Now, Fornite arrives as the third challenger and it looks like people are satisfied with the game's implementation of the web-slinging hero.

It's also interesting to note that this is probably the only way that Xbox or PC owners will be able to play as Spider-Man in a modern game, as both Insomniac's game and the Spider-Man content in Marvel's Avengers are exclusive to Sony's platform (although Switch owners can play as Spider-Man in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3).

Check out our full breakdown of what's new in Fortnite Chapter 3. In other Spider-Man news, Insomniac Games has announced that two new suits inspired by Spider-Man: No Way Home are coming to PS5's Spier-Man Remastered.

The latest trailer for The Matrix Resurrections dropped Monday, providing yet another glimpse into Keanu Reeves' next chapter as Neo/Mr. Anderson, along with several major action sequences that fit right into the sci-fi kung fu stylings the franchise is known for. Watch the trailer below for the whole thing.

The new trailer focuses heavily on the feeling of deja vu, a concept from the original film that helped illustrate when a glitch in the Matrix occurred, implying that the robotic AI constructs enslaving humanity had changed something in the simulation. It's usually bad enough news to stress out even the likes of Trinity and Morpheus.

From previous trailers, we've been able to surmise that something has put Neo into a state of ignorance about the Matrix's true nature. We've also seen that Trinity returns in some form, despite the fact that she died in The Matrix Revolutions, and Neo's fate was pretty ambiguous to boot. This new trailer leans into Trinity and Neo's romantic relationship, along with appearances from Jada Pinkett-Smith's Niobe, now significantly aged, and Mindhunters' Jonathan Goff as the new Agent.

Presumably, Neo and Trinity will try desperately to reunite while dealing with whatever else the Matrix has to throw at them, including countless soldiers, agents, and an explosive high speed train ride through a field of sakura blossom trees.

The Matrix Resurrections is out in theaters on December 22, 2021 and on HBO Max on the same date, but only for one month before being removed. You can read more about how Resurrections has more humor and a new look compared to past films, too.

Colin Farrell has apparently signed on to reprise his role of The Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot in the rumored Penguin spinoff series.

Variety reports that Farrell has signed on to play Penguin in the spinoff show of The Batman for HBO Max. The actor is already set to play Oswald Cobblepot alongside Robert Pattinson's Bruce Wayne in Matt Reeves' The Batman next March.

Initial reports came out earlier this Fall that the spinoff was in the works, but Farrell had not officially signed on at that time. The series is apparently going to dive into the Penguin's rise in Gotham City's criminal underworld. Variety says Lauren LeFranc is set to write the script. The Batman director Matt Reeves and producer Dylan Clark will reportedly serve as executive producers on the Penguin series.

A full show means a lot time to delve into Farrell's version of the Penguin, who says that he only appears in "five or six scenes" of The Batman.

Even though we haven't seen Farrell's full performance as the iconic villain yet, he's already got at least one big stamp of approval. Danny DeVito, who famously played Penguin in 1992's Batman Returns, is excited to see Farrell's take on the character, saying, "I love Colin Farrell. He’s one of my favorite actors. I can’t wait!”

The Penguin show would be the second spinoff for The Batman movie. We already know a spinoff focusing on Gotham PD is in development. For more while you wait for The Batman and the Penguin spinoff show, check out our breakdown of The Batman's most recent trailer.

Embark Studios, a studio founded by former EA DICE employees, has teased that its first game will be revealed at The Game Awards later this week.

The game is called ARC Raiders, and the official announcement said that we're going to learn more on December 9. On Twitter, the new account posted a short teaser trailer for the project. It features a voiceover talking over a 1970s-like synthesizer soundtrack. The voice is calling for volunteers, followed by the tagline, "enlist. resist." You can watch the quick 20-second teaser below.

The Game Awards Twitter account retweeted the post, further teasing that the reveal is coming as part of this Thursday's event.

Back in 2018, former EA executive Patrick Söderlund opened Embark Studios with former DICE dev Johan Andersson. The studio received funding from a Japanese-Korean publisher of PC and mobile games, called Nexon.

At the time, Söderlund said the studio had, "mass-market, large-scale ambition with what we’re going to do," saying the team hoped to "design games that are very different from what’s currently available." We don't have to wait long to see the next step in Embark's vision, as the studio's inaugural game will finally be shown off this week. The studio started with just 15 to 20 employees, with a plan to grow to around 200.

DICE, of course, is known for developing the Battlefield franchise in addition to the two most recent Star Wars Battlefront games. It remains to be seen how much Battlefield influence there will be in ARC Raiders.

The Game Awards is set to take place on Thursday, December 9 at 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET. If you want to check out all the reveals and awards for yourself, check out our guide on how to watch The Game Awards.

The true joy of Spider-Man: No Way Home is that it's a celebration of two decades of Spider-Man films, with the return of Doc Ock and Green Goblin being two of the biggest highlights (sorry, Electro).

In a new Spider-Man: No Way Home Villains panel featuring Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, and Jamie Foxx, Dafoe expounded on his reaction to the original pitch, which he said seemed "pretty nutty" in light of the Green Goblin getting "speared pretty good" back in 2002.

"I know [Sony executive Amy Pascal's] history, she walked me through it, and then [Director Jon Watts] kind of pitched the whole idea before I read a script and it sounded like a lot of fun and a good solution," Dafoe said.

Dafoe also hinted that this won't exactly be the same Green Goblin we knew back in the original Spider-Man. For one, he appears to be getting some "upgrades" this time around.

"[The costume] looks a little different," Dafoe said. "Norman and the Goblin are further down the line and they have a few more tricks up their sleeve. So there have been upgrades on the costumes, let's say."

Talking about what it's like to don the Green Goblin costume again, Dafoe said "nobody knows how uncomfortable those costumes are" while laughing. However, he also called the ability to generate a costume based on computer scans "a huge leap in the technology," noting that the costumes are more flexible now.

As for Green Goblin himself, Dafoe hinted that the iconic villain's motivations are a bit different this time around.

"Green Goblin has a case to state this time. He's trying to make his case. A philosophy of life," Dafoe said. "It's not just some kind of abstract mustache-twirling power grab."

Jamie Foxx added, "It's personal. And any time you can get a character to be more personal, it carries the most weight."

The new comments are part of the run-up to Spider-Man: No Way Home's release, which is just two weeks away. We also got a hint about when we might hear Spider-Man's most famous line, as well as new posters that hint on what we can expect from No Way Home's villains.
