Cere Junda is a former Jedi from the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game. Junda was captured by Imperial forces not long after Order 66 and tortured until she divulged the location of her padawan, Trillia, who would eventually become the Second Sister, one of the many Inquisitors in canon . Cere Junda used the Force to escape her captors, and eventually lived an anonymous life far removed from her origins. She would have remained so if not for meeting another Jedi survivor of Order 66, Cal Kes

Grogu’s life after Order 66 is generally a mystery, as is much about him. It’s not clear who his master was, or if he had one at the time of the attack. His survival seems to be the result of the kindness and sacrifice of a mysterious benefac

One huge change that Resident Evil 4 made from its predecessors was the inclusion of a mysterious merchant character. When fighting enemies and exploring the game’s environments, the player would come across money that they could exchange for items, weapons, and upgrades when interacting with this merch

The remake of Resident Evil 3 reportedly shipped two million units in five days. There is an obvious hunger from consumers to relive games of the past rebuilt for modern consoles. The remake of Resident Evil 2 is currently Capcom’s sixth best-selling game of all time, with roughly 5.8 million units sold. Similarly, the original 1998 release of Resident Evil 2 for PS1 is Capcom’s seventh best-selling game of all time. That game sold 4.96 million units worldwide, not counting the various ports and updated re-relea

Playable Zelda likely isn’t coming in Breath of the Wild 2. I’ve made my peace with that eventuality, even if it could help push the series forward in some truly meaningful ways. When all is said and done, Link is the hero of this story – the Hero of Time if you haven’t heard – and his presence is more than enough to carry an elden Ring open world world adventure we’ll spend hours being enamoured with when it arrives in 2022. Another mystery protagonist could be waiting in the wings, but whether they are related to Zelda remains to be s

The final moments still make me tear up, acting as the perfect distillation of why these characters are so excellent. Zelda is steadfast in her resilience, but willing to fall victim to her emotions when it really matters. She’s vulnerable, but in a way that simply serves to make her stronger as she moves proudly into the future. Breath of the Wild 2 presumably takes place in the present, with Link and Zelda exploring alongside one another as they rebuild the region into an image they can be proud of. This inevitably leads them to investigate some unusual occurrences beneath Hyrule Castle. Because they’re the unluckiest duo in the world, this releases yet another ancient evil as Zelda is yeeted into a pit and Link finds himself adorned with a bad case of neon zombie arm. Time to save the world again, I gu

Resident Evil 4 is at the apex of camp in the series, and that’s part of the reason why it’s so enduringly loved. If the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 are any indication, it appears that Capcom is attempting to dress up their older titles with a more grounded, realistic atmosphere. While that’s fine in moderation, making Resident Evil 4 too serious will harm the overall experience and misses the enduring appeal of the original g

That said, Super Mario Maker 2 is still a must-own for anyone who loves 2D Mario, particularly if they enjoy creating levels. Those who do not want to take part in that process can enjoy a few pre-installed stages and creations crafted by other us

Link can’t speak, making Zelda the emotional core of a story in desperate need of one. Our protagonist can only stop and stare, providing the occasional nod or grunt to ensure he is with Zelda regardless of whatever circumstances might greet them. Given that so many of Breath of the Wild’s strongest moments are fragmented flashbacks and snapshots of Link’s own memories, it told a wonderfully coherent story of bittersweet heroism. Sacrifices are required to save the world, and Zelda is fully aware of the need to step forward and face the music even if it means giving herself up. She does this, but Link is able to save her, and Breath of the Wild 2 should explore their new lives and the inevitable threat that has the potential to wipe them out once ag

Like Caleb Dume, Cal Kestis was only a child during Order 66. He was only 12 years old at the end of the Clone Wars and spent the next several years of his life in hiding. He escapes the attack of the 13th Battalion thanks to the sacrifice of his master, the Jedi Jaro Tapal . Cal kept his master’s broken lightsaber and lived on the run for the next several years until events force him back to the ways of the Jedi that he had abandoned. Cal is still alive in canon and could appear in future Star Wars video game and streaming proje

Now, the game did launch with a fair few missing features that were included in previous entries, so it certainly wasn’t (and still isn’t) perfect. Be that as it may, New Horizons still provided millions of people with an island escape when they needed it the m
