Jared Leto’s Spider-Man Spinoff Morbius Delayed Again
We’ve been waiting to see where else Sony can take its live-action Spider-verse following the mixed bag that was 2018’s Venom film, but we’re going to be waiting a few months longer. Sony has delayed its upcoming film Morbius until the fall, according to a report from Variety.
Sony has reportedly pushed Morbius from its already delayed March 19 release until October 8, 2021, Variety writes. The film, set to star Jared Leto, has been on Sony’s schedule for a while now. It was originally set to release in July 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It held onto its March 19, 2021 release date at least up through mid-December, before this latest delay.
Jared Leto plays the part of Morbius, the Living Vampire, an anti-hero from the Spider-Man comics. Like many of Spider-Man’s allies and enemies, Morbius is a mutation resulting from the combination of human and animal DNA. Dr. Michael Morbius seeks to cure his rare blood disease but, in doing so, inherits many vampiric characteristics. Though he began life as a villain, he’s morphed into an anti-hero character in the vein of Venom.
Project Athia Coming To PS5 In January 2022
During Sony’s CES livestream, Sony revealed that Square Enix’s Project Athia will launch on PlayStation 5 in January 2022. The window was confirmed by way of a very small block of text on a PlayStation disclaimer image, which also confirmed dates for other upcoming PS5 titles. A release date for the game was previously unknown.
Project Athia was first announced as an exclusive title for the PS5 during Sony’s PS5 reveal event stream. The trailer played during the announcement revealed a protagonist leaping and exploring a fantasy world with menacing-looking enemies. Project Athia’s taglines suggest that the protagonist will endure something like a fish out of water trial: “In a world not her own, where resolve will be tested, truths will be questioned, and devotions will be doubted, she will rise.” Not much else is known about the game at this time.
Project Athia is being produced by Square Enix’s Luminous Productions, a subsidiary formed to develop AAA titles. Luminous Productions’ past titles include only Final Fantasy XV, and Project Athia is the studio’s first departure from a Final Fantasy installment.
Kena: Bridge Of Spirits, Solar Ash Get PS5 Release Dates At CES 2021
There are plenty of indie games to look forward to in 2021, and Sony has just confirmed that two PlayStation console exclusive indie titles are coming out sooner rather than later. You can expect to get your hands on both Solar Ash and Kena: Bridge of Spirits within the first half of 2021.
In a small text message seen during Sony Interactive Entertainment’s CES 2021 press conference, Sony revealed the release windows for several upcoming games. Both Solar Ash and Kena: Bridge of Spirits are listed, with the former scheduled to come out in June and the latter in March.
From developer Heart Machine, Solar Ash sees you play as a mysterious individual who can seemingly glide across practically anything, speeding through beautifully stylized worlds and just as quickly getting thrown into frantic bouts of combat. The game is scheduled to launch for PS4, PS5, and PC.
