The first trailer for Midsommar, the next film Hereditary writer-director Ari Aster, has arrived–and it’s scary, shocking, and filled with Pagan mythology.

There isn’t a whole lot to go on, but in the trailer we learn there is a nine-day festival that happens once every 90 years that may not be what it seems. Attendees are given some kind of ayahuasca-like psychedelic drug that “opens you up to the influence,” but what that is remains unclear.

It’s a chilling trailer that seems to contain many teases and references to some of the horror that awaits those who attend the festival. In one scene, we see people opening up a bear and removing its guts. We can only imagine why.

Midsommar stars Florence Pugh (Fighting With My Family), Jack Reynor (Glassland), William Jackson Harper (The Good Place), and Will Poulter (Black Mirror). The movie hits theatres this summer.

Aster also wrote and directed 2018’s Hereditary starring Toni Collette. The movie was praised by critics, including here at GameSpot where reviewer Michael Rougeau called it an excellent horror film.

Just Cause 4, the open-world sandbox game from Avalanche Studios, is now available in the Xbox Game Pass free game library. WindowsCentral discovered that the game is now available in the Xbox Game Pass library, following a teaser that the Xbox Game Pass account tweeted.

In a silly, fake email purporting to be from “Melissa McGamepass,” it’s revealed that a game starting with a “J” would come to Xbox Game Pass on March 7. As it turns out, that game is (likely) Just Cause 4, and it’s arrived a day early. The email image also says another game with a longer title is also coming to Xbox Game Pass on March 7, but it hasn’t been revealed yet.

Further out, Microsoft will announce another title coming to Xbox Game Pass in April later this month on March 12. Keep checking back with GameSpot for more on that.

Given that Just Cause 4 was only released commercially in December, it appears to be one of the newest titles in the Xbox Game Pass library apart from the first-party Microsoft games that release into Game Pass like Crackdown 3 most recently.

In February, Microsoft released a number of high-profile titles into the Xbox Game Pass library including Batman: Return to Arkham, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and Alien Isolation.

Xbox Game Pass offers all-you-can-play model where you can play more than 100 Xbox One and backwards-compatible Xbox 360 games as much as you for as long as your $10/month subscription remains active. Outside of this, Microsoft also offers Games with Gold for Xbox Live Gold subscribers, which grant a few games every month.

Nintendo has announced the free NES games being added to the library of freebies on Nintendo Switch for people who subscribe to the system’s Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Available starting March 13 will be two titles: Kid Icarus and StarTropics. Members in Japan are getting a different lineup of games. According to Gematsu, players in Japan will get Kid Icarus, but instead of StarTropics, they’ll receive Yie Ar Kung-Fu and Fire Emblem. It’s not uncommon for the NES Switch Online freebies to vary by region like this.

The NES library for Switch Online subscribers launched in 2018 with 20 big-name games, including Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Dr. Mario, Ice Climber, Metroid, and Donkey Kong. More have been added since, like Zelda II: The Adventures of Link in January and Super Mario 2 in February.

A subscription to Nintendo Switch Online costs $4 USD/month or $8 USD for three months. A 12-month membership is available for $20 USD, while a Family Membership for up to eight Nintendo Account members costs $35 USD for a year. New subscribers can sign up with a seven-day free trial. In addition to free NES games, subscribers get access to cloud saves and online play for many titles such as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 Ultimate.
