Disney+ launches in two weeks now, and the new content continues to be added to the day one line-up. We already know that there will be a host of classic Pixar movies to stream, and the studio has now announced that six new Pixar short films will also be available.

Disney released a new trailer for the collection of short films, which is titled Sparkshorts. The six films are Purl, Smash and Grab, Kitbull, Loop, Wind, and Loop. The shorts have all been made by upcoming animators at Pixar, and while three of them– Purl, Smash and Grab, and Kitbull–were released online earlier this year, the other three will make their Disney+ debut on November 12. Check the trailer out below:

The SparkShorts program was first announced back in January. In a statement, Pixar boss Jim Morris said: “The SparkShorts program is designed to discover new storytellers, explore new storytelling techniques, and experiment with new production workflows. These films are unlike anything we’ve ever done at Pixar, providing an opportunity to unlock the potential of individual artists and their inventive filmmaking approaches on a smaller scale than our normal fare.”

In related news, the full trailer for Onward, Pixar’s next theatrical movie, was released earlier this month. The movie stars Tom Holland and Chris Pratt as two Elf brothers who embark on an unusual quest, and it hits theaters in March next year.

Electronic Arts is the biggest publisher of sports video games in the world, and the company is looking to expand even further. The publisher confirmed in its latest earnings report that it will add another sports game to its catalogue in the next fiscal year.

In fiscal 2021 (April 1, 2020 – March 31, 2021), EA will “add at least one more sports title to our annual slate,” the company said in a release.

Management added in prepared remarks that these new sports games might be developed for upcoming next-generation consoles coming from Sony and Microsoft. “New consoles are always an opportunity to drive more innovation in our EA Sports games, as our fans are eager to begin experiencing a new generation of play,” EA said.

There is no indication as to what the new EA Sports titles might be. EA already makes officially licensed FIFA, NFL, NHL, and NBA video games. EA recently canceled NBA Live 20, though the company said it continues to work with the NBA on a next-gen basketball game to be released later.

EA formerly published the Tiger Woods series of PGA Tour golf games, and later made Rory McIlroy PGA Tour in 2015 after EA and Woods parted ways. That game did not resonate very strongly, and EA hasn’t released a PGA Tour game since. In 2018, the PGA Tour announced that it granted HB Studios the license to make PGA Tour games, though EA remains involved in some capacity.

Another dormant sports franchise at EA is the UFC series. The latest release was 2018’s EA Sports UFC 3. In April this year, UFC commentator Jon Anik let slip that EA Sports UFC 4 was in the works, though this has yet to be confirmed.

Another franchise that could be primed for revival at EA is the NCAA series. EA made college sports games for years before it stopped due to lawsuits and other matters involving former players. Just recently, the NCAA announced that student-athletes can profit off their names and likenesses, which seemingly paves the way for EA’s NCAA series to return.

It’s also possible that EA has a new sports game in the works that no one is expecting or that it is an arcade-style game or something else completely. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest.

If I was a betting man, I’d put money down that EA is talking about EA Sports UFC 4 here given it was already hinted at. Another strong candidate is a college sports game, given the recent NCAA changes and EA’s statement that it wants to return to making them. What sports game do you want to see EA add to its lineup? Let us know in the comments down below.

It’s not just a new sports game that EA is working on to fill out its portfolio. In the earnings report, EA also confirmed that Motive Studios, the team that worked on Battlefront II‘s story mode and a canceled Star Wars game, is making a new IP.

Battlefield developer DICE has “new projects” in the works, including a next-generation Battlefield game. Additionally, BioWare, Maxis, and Criterion are all working on new games.

The first Fast & Furious spinoff, Hobbs & Shaw, follows the titular characters, working together to stop a super-powered terrorist, looking to get his hands on a deadly virus. It’s the kind of action-packed romp that we’ve come to expect from the FF franchise, but with a decidedly science-fiction slant.

On the home release for the movie–which arrives on November 5–there are plenty of special features. One of which features WWE star Roman Reigns knocking out a cameraman. In the featurette “Keeping it in the family: A conversation with Roman and Dwayne,” Dwayne Johnson and Joe Anoa’i, Reigns’ real name, discuss Samoan culture and how important it is to them to have it represented in the movie. They also discuss their Samoan heritage and its wrestling roots.

However, the best part of the feature comes from the final moments where we learn Anoa’i knocked out a cameraman during the filming of Hobbs & Shaw. “He’s gonna have a hell of a career, in Hollywood,” Johnson said. “If he doesn’t knock out any more cameramen.” During an action sequence, Anoai was throwing a club, and it hit one of the cameramen, knocking him out.

Because the two are laughing about the moment, it’s pretty obvious the cameraman escaped unscathed, but there is a brief moment in the video shown where you can see the club leaving Anoai’s hands and realizing he made a huge mistake.

While the movie is available digitally now, the vast majority of the special features, including commentary from director David Leitch, is only available on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD. In addition, the home release contains an alternate opening, deleted scenes, and numerous features about the fight sequences, making the movie, Hobbs’ family, and the insane elevator stunt.

In GameSpot’s review of Hobbs & Shaw, Chris E. Hayner said, “Ultimately, Hobbs & Shaw is probably the movie you want it to be. It’s funny with massive-scale action, the likes of which you rarely see outside of this franchise. It’s loaded with car chases, explosions, and fight scenes in which every character should repeatedly die. It’s just unfortunate that the pieces of the film that aren’t soaked in action don’t add up. This movie could have been incredible. Instead, it’s just a lot of adrenaline-fueled fun. Sometimes, though, that’s more than enough.”

Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw is available digitally now and arrives on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K UHD on November 5.
