Payday publisher Starbreeze has had a rough time over the last few years, but in its financial report for 2020, the Swedish company says that its “thirsting for revenge” and is in a much stronger position than it was previously.

“Starbreeze is a much stronger company today than it was one year ago,” acting chief executive Tobias Sjogren told investors. “We are hugely confident, thirsting for revenge and thrilled to be able to focus to the max on developing our IP with Payday front and center.”

That doesn’t mean that Starbreeze is out of danger just yet, as the company needs to find a publisher for Payday 3 and additional funding if it wants to avoid a repeat of its dismal 2018-2019 period.

After the news broke that Mandalorian and Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal has been cast as Joel in HBO’s TV adaptation of The Last Of Us, fans have already begun to imagine what his take on the character might look like. One fan artist has gone beyond simple Photoshop mockups, with a lovingly rendered take on Pascal with Joel’s beard and scruffy style.

After being posted to Reddit by artist Andrea C. White, the painting was soon shared on Twitter by Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann, who is also serving as a writer on the HBO series.

Another artwork being shared around by fans is by artist Taryn Platt, who envisioned Pascal as Joel along with his co-star Bella Ramsey as Ellie. The two are both Game of Thrones alumni, with Ramsey stealing the spotlight in later seasons as the fierce young noblewoman Lyanna Mormont.

The Mortal Kombat movie will arrive on HBO Max and in theaters on April 16, 2021, and we recently got a closer look at the film that will also star Mehcad Brooks as Jackson “Jax” Briggs, Chin Han as Shang Tsung, Hiroyuki Sanada as Scorpion, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, Josh Lawson as Kano, Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade, Max Huang as Lung Lao Max, and Lewis Tan as an all-new character named Cole Young.

This film is a reboot and will see Young, who is a “washed-up MMA fighter” and bears a birthmark in the shape of the Mortal Kombat symbol on his chest, meet up with Sonya Blade. She then leads him to the temple of Lord Raiden where he comes into contact with a group of highly-skilled fighters.

“When we first meet Cole, he’s in a really bad spot,” Tan said. “He’s down on his luck. He’s kind of a washed-up MMA fighter who used to be a champion, who used to believe in himself, who used to have a lot of hope in his career. And it’s all gone down the drain. It’s a very interesting place for a hero to start, and I think that, along the journey of Mortal Kombat and Cole discovering where he comes from, you’re introduced to all these other iconic characters and elements that everybody loves so dearly.”

There will also be some “crazy fatalities” in the film that will make fans of the franchise very happy.

“There are some crazy fatalities,” added Tan, who performed his own stunts on set. “We’ve picked a couple of iconic ones. There’s a lot of really cool signature moves that you’ll see, a lot of Easter eggs that we snuck into the film, but there are some really badass fatalities that I can’t wait to see on the big screen. They’re brutal, man. They, they don’t hold back.”

Take a look at all the Overdrives from the main roster of the upcoming fighting game, Guilty Gear Strive. Captured from the beta on PS5.

When Disney cut ties with actress and former MMA competitor Gina Carano on February 10, it looked to many like a sudden move in response to a single social media post. According to a new story from The Hollywood Reporter, though, Carano’s exit from the Mandalorian and Disney was months in the making.

Exactly two months earlier, on December 10, Disney unveiled a whole host of Marvel and Star Wars content, including ten new Star Wars shows. Among those was Rangers of the New Republic. At the time, we and many others assumed Rangers was a vehicle for Carano and her character Cara Dune. Carano appeared in seven episodes of The Mandalorian across the show’s two seasons, and her story arc in the second had her picking up a Rangers of the New Republic badge, seemingly contemplating a new path for herself.

Indeed, that was exactly what Disney had planned, and THR says her agency, UTA, was negotiating for a pay raise for the actress, who was reportedly pulling in $25,000 to $50,000 per episode of The Mandalorian. Carano was meant to be part of that presentation, but an anonymous source told THR that Disney pulled her off the presentation. Sources say that Disney had repeatedly warned Carano even before the February 10 tweets Disney described as “abhorrent and unacceptable.” Carano had previously posted tweets mocking mask wearing during the coronavirus pandemic, promoting misinformation about voter fraud, and expressing transphobic views. Those tweets led to the initial warnings, while her February 10 tweet comparing American conservatives to Jewish people just before the Holocaust is what sealed Carano’s fate. The decision was reportedly made by Lucasfilm executives, going higher than Mandalorian showrunner Jon Favreau.

Streaming giant Netflix and gaming giant Valve have surprised the internet with the announcement of a new animated series based on the Dota game franchise. The companies each took to their Twitter accounts to announce the series, with a release date of March 25.

Both tweets refer to the series as “anime.” Some anime fans may wind up debating that classification–hard to tell, though, since we currently know nothing about who’s actually making the show. Netflix simply posted a teaser video in which a man identifies himself as Davion, Dragon Knight, a character from the game Dota 2. He then battles a dragon, before the logo Dota: Dragon’s Blood appears. The teaser says the series was made “in collaboration with Valve.” Meanwhile, Valve said in a tweet from the official Dota 2 account, “We’re excited to announce a brand-new anime series exploring the Dota universe like never before. As fellow fans of Dota and its passionate global community, we look forward to sharing this new adventure with you when it premieres on Netflix March 25.”
