SNL: Host Scarlett Johansson Saves the Cast from Thanos
"Am I going to have to save everyone? I left my Black Widow costume in the car."

Yes, it was clearly an Infinity War scenario. Even cast member Beck Bennett joked about the overall relevance of doing the bit. "Is this like a backup monologue from the last time you hosted?" he asked, before getting erased.

As advertised, the Star Wars event in Fortnite revealed a brand new clip from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker over at the Risky Reels location.
Players were raised into the air on a platform, and shortly after the Millenium Falcon could be seen flying around the map, while pursued by TIE fighters as Imperial star destroyers filled the sky. The Millennium Falcon landed shortly after, at which point Geoff Keighley introduced an in-game representation of The Rise of Skywalker director J.J. Abrams.
The clip itself shows Rey, Finn, Poe, along with BB-8 and C-3PO boarding an Imperial vessel of some sort in space, blasting their way through two unwitting stormtroopers.

Resident Evil 2 Demo Now Features Resident Evil 3 Tease
With the official announcement of Resident Evil 3's remake arriving in early 2020, developer Capcom has updated the demo for Resident Evil 2 to include a small audible teaser for the upcoming game.
Last year's '1-Shot Demo' was released prior to Resident Evil 2 and gave players an opportunity to play through the opening sequence. The caveat, however, was that the demo only lasted for 30 minutes. After the in-game timer ran out, players were unable to play through the demo again. Now, the time limit has been lifted, allowing players to play through it multiple times, and also includes a reference to the upcoming Resident Evil 3 remake. Originally spotted by a user named Lady Bow on Resetera, players can now hear RE3's infamous Nemesis enemy scream, "STAAARS" outside the Raccoon City Police Department's front gates.
