Ikumi Nakamura, the fan-favorite director previously of Bethesda's Tango Gameworks, has revealed her new studio, Unseen. In an exclusive interview with IGN Nakamura says her studio will be multicultural, and its games will focus on her interests in mystery, horror, sci-fi, and the supernatural.

Nakamura announced Unseen today with a trailer that introduces her vision for the studio. "The Tokyo studio acts as a terminal," Nakamura explains. "A place where different cultures intersect. A hub for artists to gather. We want to transcend various medium beyond the realm of video games."

Speaking to IGN for a video you can watch below, Nakamura explained that Unseen will build a team made up of international staff, saying, "A mix of cultures can be a breeding ground for new ideas, which is the real joy of starting a new studio."

While she wouldn't go into detail about Unseen's first game, Nakamura confirmed that it's begun development in some form, and that "we are putting a lot of care into the setting and characters."

"I want to make a game with characters that reflect real-life personalities and minorities," she added, "with an open-minded setting that represents multiple cultures."

As for what kind of game it will be, Nakamura hinted that she'd like to focus on her own pop culture interests: "I like mystery, I like horror films, I love zombies, and the supernatural and science fiction – I find these genres fascinating, and I’m good at them, so I want to keep working on games related to these subjects."

Interestingly, Nakamura isn't just thinking of Unseen as a game development studio. As she hints in the announcement trailer, Unseen will aim to work in a variety of mediums, and she explained more to IGN.

"I don't want to think only in terms of video games; I want to make new IP that can work as a variety of entertainment media," she said. "For example anime, education, apparel – I’d like to make a game that can have an impact on those kinds of media too, and to grow carefully."

As for the studio itself, Nakamura says that Unseen's level designer designed the development floor inside Unreal Engine 5, allowing the team to "walk around and remove things that didn’t work well, exchange ideas and decide on the layout together, just like making a game."

Nakamura says she doesn't want the space to feel like an office: "I want it to be a place where developers can come and go as they please, like nomads. It’s a new style of office."

Nakamura hasn't given any sense of when the first Unseen game will arrive,

Nakamura previously worked at Capcom on games including Okami, before joining Shinji Mikami's Tango Gameworks and contributing art for The Evil Within and The Evil Within 2. She came into the public eye in her role as creative director on the upcoming Ghostwire: Tokyo, but left the company after a period of health trouble. After touring a number of studios, she announced her own studio last year.

DC and Warner Bros. announced a slew of delays for multiple films today, including Aquaman 2, The Flash, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Black Adam, and more.

Warner Bros. is moving around the dates for several of its biggest DC movies this year. Among the biggest changes are delays for both Aquaman 2 and The Flash into 2023. While Black Adam starring Dwayne Johnson has also been pushed back, it will still be released this year. Furthermore, the Shazam sequel has been pushed forward and will premiere in 2022 as well.

Check out the full list of changes below.

• Aquaman 2 has been delayed from December 2022 to March 17, 2023.

Editor's Note: The war in Ukraine is an ongoing, painful and emotive topic. IGN urges community members to be respectful when engaging in conversation around this subject and does not endorse harassment of any kind.

Sony has shared a statement with IGN saying that it will be suspending all software and hardware sales in Russia due to its recent and ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

"Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) joins the global community in calling for peace in Ukraine," the statement reads. "We have suspended all software and hardware shipments, the launch of Gran Turismo 7, and operations of the PlayStation Store in Russia. To support humanitarian aid, Sony Group Corporation announced a US$2 million donation to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the international NGO, Save the Children, to support the victims of this tragedy."

Sony joins numerous other gaming companies denouncing the invasion and pulling sales from Russia and, in some cases, neighboring Russian ally Belarus. Epic Games, CD Projekt Red, EA, Microsoft, Take-Two, Ubisoft, and plenty more have announced similar suspensions in the last week. Nintendo has also delayed Advanced Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp due to the war.

Similarly, many companies have announced donations and other forms of support and aid, including a massive itch.io bundle offering almost 1,000 games for a minimum donation of $10, which has already raised nearly $3 million. You can see all the companies issuing statements, sharing resources, and making donations here.

Spoilers below for The Batman:

The Penguin is waddling back onto the small screen. HBO Max has ordered a new spinoff featuring The Batman antagonist, with the working title of "The Penguin."

Colin Farrell is set to reprise his role as the infamous crime boss, and HBO says the limited series will expand upon the world laid out by Matt Reeves in The Batman.

Reeves will return as executive producer, along with Dylan Clark (producer on The Batman and Reeves' Planet of the Apes sequels), Colin Farrell, and Lauren LeFranc (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

“Colin exploded off the screen as the Penguin in 'The Batman,' and having the chance to thoroughly explore the inner life of that character on HBO Max is an absolute thrill," Reeves said in a statement. "Dylan and I are so excited to work with Lauren in continuing Oz’s story as he grabs violently for power in Gotham.”

Farrell's version of the Penguin starts in a somewhat similar position to Batman, as a significant and rising influence in the criminal underworld despite the character's older age. It's not quite the crime lord that other versions of the Penguin are depicted as. It's someone who's still scrapping with Batman and taking orders from bosses like John Turturro's Carmine Falcone. The series will presumably take place following the events of The Batman, where Penguin quickly finds himself in a power vacuum following the deaths of major Gotham figures.

“The world that Matt Reeves created for ‘The Batman’ is one that warrants a deeper gaze through the eyes of Oswald Cobblepot," Farrell said. "I couldn’t be more excited about continuing this exploration of Oz as he rises through the darkened ranks to become The Penguin. Will be good to get him back on the streets of Gotham for a little madness and a little mayhem.”

In our review of The Batman, IGN's Alex Stedman called Farrell's performance in The Batman "formidable," noting the actor is "deeply unrecognizable" under the convincing prosthetics.

While we wait for the Penguin to get his moment in the spotlight, you can read about how director Matt Reeves used fear as a tool in the movie, Batman's horror and gothic influences, or check out what we know about the Gotham PD spinoff series currently in development.

The first trailer for Disney+' Obi-Wan series premiered during Disney's Annual Shareholder meeting with the first look at Ewan McGregor reprising his role as the famed Jedi Master.

The first trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi offers a dark look at a Galaxy Far Far Away. The Empire is ascendant and Obi-Wan has gone into hiding. In the trailer, we see the new Inquisitor in action imposing a dark order over the galaxy.

The trailer shows some familiar faces like Uncle Owen, played once again by Joel Edgerton. He's taken in a young Luke Skywalker, who can also be seen briefly in the trailer.

However, the new characters are also front-and-center such as the force-sensitive Inquisitor Reva, played by Moses Ingram. Reva is seen threatening Owen and other nearby residents, presumably while hunting down Jedi.

In fact, hunting the remaining Jedi appears to be one of the primary conflicts in the Obi-Wan series. Several Inquisitors are seen gathering and likely chasing Jedi on the run, and a voiceover makes it clear that the Jedi are the Empire's primary target.

There's plenty we haven't seen in the first Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer. We know that Hayden Christiansen is set to reprise his role as Darth Vader, and the cast includes Kumail Nanjiani and Sung Kang. The full series will be directed by Deborah Chow with scrips by Joby Harold.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is set to debut on Disney+ on May 25, 2022.
