Happy Star Wars day! To celebrate, EA has released a free update for Jedi Fallen Order, and episodic VR game Vader Immortal is coming to PSVR later this summer. The first details about EA Play 2020 have also been revealed.
Id Software’s Marty Stratton has taken to Reddit to weigh in on the Doom Eternal soundtrack drama, shedding light on why composer Mick Gordon distanced himself from the project.
On top of that, it looks like Call of Duty Warzone will be coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X, and we’ve got a PSA about Halo Infinite appearing on this week’s Inside Xbox. For all the latest gaming news stories, be sure to get your Save State every Monday through Thursday on GameSpot.
While all of Disney’s parks stay closed due to the COVID-19 threat, one usually-abandoned corner of Disney World has seen some unexpected action. 42-year-old man Richard McGuire was found camping on the island after a police search involving boats, helicopters and officers on foot, Variety reports.
Though Disney’s parks are currently shut down, the section of the park McGuire was found in is not normally open to the public. Originally known as Treasure Island, now Discovery Island, the area was once a zoo-type area housing animals and birds. It closed in 1999 and has since been left to rot, as revealed in videos made by urban explorers. The island is only accessible by boat.
“Richard stated that he had made entry to the island to go camping on Monday or Tuesday and had planned on staying on the island for approximately one week,” the police report read.
McGuire appears to run the YouTube channel “Southern Pirate Outdoors”, with a mix of wildlife and urban exploration content involving camping “challenges” in abandoned places. In an update on his social media, he promises to release a video detailing his experience on Discovery Island, with “3 hours of the actual footage of me being on Disney’s Discovery Island”.
McGuire has been charged with a misdemeanor for trespassing and banned from all Disney properties.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is set to be the biggest Lego Star Wars yet when it launches later this year. Now, in a new interview with TT Games’ Jonathan Smith and Lucasfilm Games’ Craig Derrick on StarWars.com, we’ve gotten a better sense of just how big it might be.
You’ll be able to start the game at any point in the Saga, so you can skip the prequels or even jump right into The Last Jedi if you want to. It will also include space combat missions, and the whole game is brand new, so don’t expect to retread missions from previous Lego Star Wars games.
According to Smith, the game contains “the complete collection, from Admiral Ackbar to Zorii Bliss,” and Derrick says that “there are nearly 500 characters in this game, with many of them playable.” He says that they tried to say “yes” to every character, giving one specific example of a fun addition–The Phantom Menace’s Yaddle, the Yoda-like alien who has a famously fascinating and bizarre backstory.
Derrick also promises more of the series’ signature humor: “I think we succeeded with one subtle moment in particular during the Luke/Kylo fight that I find so funny, yet totally in character that I laugh out loud every time I see it,” he says.
New key art has also been revealed–you can see it below.
Microsoft has launched a new charity campaign, and to encourage people to donate, they’re offering up a chance to be an extra on the Halo TV show. As part of the All-In Challenge campaign, you can buy tickets that get you an entry into the sweepstakes starting at $10 USD for 10 entries and up to $100 for 200 entries.
The winner will get an all-expenses paid trip to Budapest, where the Halo show is filming on a soundstage, and get to be in a scene on the show in costume. The winner will also get to attend a workout session with Master Chief actor Pablo Schreiber, who got absolutely ripped for the role.
You’ll also get to be ride in a Warthog and hold a Needler replica that was made for the show. The winner also gets to eat dinner with the cast and crew.
All of the money from the charity campaign is going to Feeding America, Meals On Wheels, World Central Kitchen, and No Kid Hungry.
The Halo TV show was filming until Showtime shut down all of its productions due to COVID-19. In addition to Schreiber as Master Chief, Californication star Natascha McElhone will play two roles: Dr. Catherine Halsey and Cortana.
The show will be directed, at least in part, by Black Mirror’s Otto Bathurst. He directed the very first episode of Black Mirror, “The National Anthem,” which was very shocking and memorable.
The Halo TV show was announced to premiere in 2021, but that was before the production was shut down due to the global pandemic. It’s unclear if the show is still on track.
Indivisible is getting its first piece of DLC on May 7, in the form of the Razmi’s Challenges pack. The expansion, which will cost $8, presents players with 40 new challenges that can be played through once players have reached Mt. Sumeru. Razmi will appear in Ajna’s Inner Realm and offer up challenges that must be completed with a limited set of abilities.
These challenges will present platforming and combat scenarios for Ajna to conquer, and will hopefully provide some additional challenge to both new players and those who have finished the game previously.
This is the game’s first paid DLC; it has previously received a New Game Plus and co-op modes for free. Screenshots from Razmi’s Challenges are below.
This DLC won’t be available for the newly released Switch version at launch, which is currently based on an earlier build. Indivisible is also available on Xbox Game Pass.
Indivisible received a 7/10 in GameSpot’s review. “As a whole, it sometimes doesn’t come together; it’s missing weight to its narrative and the challenges necessary to flex its wonderful combat system,” wrote reviewer Michael Higham. “But it stands out as an RPG that’s doing something genuinely different, and it brings joy to its clever platforming with the tune of an infectious soundtrack,” he continued.
One of the biggest holidays of the year is here once again–yes, we’re talking about Star Wars Day (May the 4th), of course. Every year, we celebrate all things Star Wars on May 4, and this Monday is bringing a plethora of deals on Star Wars games, merch, and more. While you can ring in the holiday by watching the entire Skywalker Saga on Disney Plus, you can also shop for a ton of great Star Wars games at reduced prices. Retailers and digital storefronts have been getting a jumpstart on Star Wars Day with early discounts on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Switch. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is steeply discounted on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Meanwhile, Steam has a ridiculous 26-game bundle for $76.86.
We’ve rounded up the best Star Wars Day game deals–separated by retailer–that you can get in on right now. Steam and GOG are leading the way on PC with tons of classic Star Wars games for low prices. Console game deals aren’t as robust, but you can still find some new adventures in a galaxy far, far away on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. While major retailers are getting in on the May the 4th action, their game deals are a bit lacking compared to the digitial storefronts; however, you can snag a physical copy of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order for just $35 at Amazon and Best Buy (please note that GameStop and Target are offering the game for $40, so we’ve left those deals out). So sit back, grab a new Star Wars game or two, and May the 4th be with you.
With Star Wars Day 2020 in full swing, there is an absolute onslaught of Star Wars deals, from video games and movies to toys and other merchandise. Steam’s getting in on the May the 4th madness as well with a huge discount on its Star Wars Complete Collection bundle, which includes both original Star Wars Battlefront games, Star Wars: Republic Commando, the Knights of the Old Republic games, and more. The Star Wars Complete Collection is $76.86, down from $292.74.
The complete package consists of 26 different Star Wars games and ranges from the early ’90s with the X-Wing and TIE Fighter games to 2011’s LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars. It’s quite the bundle for Star Wars fans, but if you don’t want to spend the full amount to get all of the titles, each individual game is also on sale.
Despite its name, the Star Wars: Complete Collection isn’t exactly complete. There are a number of games missing from it, but thankfully, they are also on sale if you want to complete your Steam collection. Last year’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is $36 on Steam and $30 via Amazon for a digital Origin copy. Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is $2.09, down from $6, and Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens is $4, down from $20. Both seasons of Pinball FX3‘s digital Star Wars tables are also discounted. Be sure to check out the full Star Wars Day sale to see all of the deals.

Steam also has a great discount on a smaller Star Wars bundle as well. The Star Wars Jedi Knight bundle collects five games from the titular series. The original Star Wars: Dark Forces, through Jedi Academy are all here, and you can snag the Jedi Knight collection for $9.16, down from $34.95.

Want us to remember this setting for all your devices?
Tom Cruise has hung off the sides of planes, piloted helicopters and planes, scaled skyscrapers, and pretty much spent his entire action film career performing many of his own death-defying stunts. And now he’s reportedly setting his sights on the biggest stunt of all: filming a movie in outer space.
Cruise is reportedly teaming with Elon Musk’s SpaceX and working with NASA to make the first narrative film ever shot in space — and an action movie, at that!
“It’s not a Mission: Impossible film and no studio is in the mix at this stage,” Deadline reports. “But this is real, albeit in the early stages of liftoff.”
