Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3 Would’ve Focused on Ancient Sith

Obsidian had big plans for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 3, and although the game never saw the light of day, one of its writers has given us a look into what could have been for this planned next entry in the beloved KOTOR series.

At Reboot Develop, VG247 spoke to lead writer and designer for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords and asked him if Obsidian had ever started work on a story for Knights of the Old Republic 3.

Avellone confirmed that work was underway, as the team always envisioned the KOTOR story to be a trilogy.

“When we finished the second one we were all trying to restore our lives back to sanity,” Avellone remembers. “We did start working on the third game pitch, because we always imagined the trilogy. Even when working on the second game, we

Xbox One Leak Reveals The “All-Digital” Xbox One With No Disc Drive

Seemingly confirming the long-running rumours and reports, images of the supposed “All-Digital” Xbox One that has no disc drive have emerged online. The German website WinFuture.de obtained the images, which appear to be from a European retailer.

The supposed box art seems to suggest that Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, and Forza Horizon 3 may come pre-installed on this console. The box art also shows a 1 TB hard drive. Pricing details are unconfirmed at this stage. Also bear in mind that this may only be one version of an all-digital Xbox One SKU that Microsoft is planning. Bundles historically vary by region.

Whatever the case, given that what appear to be official images for the console are showing up online, it might not be long until Microsoft officially announces it. As it happens, Microsoft’s next Inside Xbox event is coming up on April 16. In addition to news about Microsoft’s plans for E3, the company might announce this console during the show.

Microsoft is also reportedly planning a “disc-to-digital” campaign where you can bring a disc game to a retailer and get a download code. Additionally, there are rumours of a new Xbox Live + Xbox Game Pass bundle offering for $15 USD/month, so that could be another one of the announcements coming for the Inside Xbox stream this week.

Pre-orders for the All-Digital Xbox One console are said to open in April, with the system then scheduled to go on sale in May around the world.

The disc-free Xbox One might not be the last console Microsoft announces in the coming months. Microsoft is rumoured to reveal at least one next-gen console at E3 in June. And importantly, if Microsoft does make a disc-free Xbox One, it doesn’t necessarily mean the company will stop making Xbox One consoles with disc drives. Internet availability and speed vary by region, and all-digital consoles won’t work everywhere at this stage. It appears Microsoft will be providing the option to go all-digital for those who want to.

6 New Game of Thrones Season 8 Theories From Episode 1, “Winterfell”

Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 2 Teaser Previews What’s Coming Next

HBO has released a teaser for next week’s Game of Thrones episode–and it looks dramatic. In the teaser, we hear Daenerys talking about wanting to do terrible things to Jaime.

“When I was a child, my brother would tell me a bedtime story about the man who murdered our father — about all the things we would do to that man,” she says to a council. It appears they are deciding Jaime. He also pushed Bran Stark out of a window and he might finally have to pay for that act as well. Jaime looks frightened as he stands before the group.

After that, the teaser moves to Daenerys talking with Sansa about Cersei and how she’s led them astray and betrayed their trust. We also learn in the teaser that the White Walkers are closing in, and they don’t have much time to prepare.

Episode 2 airs Sunday, April 21 at 9 PM on HBO.

For lots more on Episode 1, you can check out GameSpot’s review of the episode here. You can also watch this video to see showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff explain all the key scenes. And finally, the Season 8 premiere also confirmed what happened to Ed Sheeran’s character.

Game Of Thrones S8 Premiere Reveals What Happened To Ed Sheeran’s Character

The Game of Thrones Season 8 premiere not only started to provide clues about how the show will wrap up, but it also revealed what probably happened to Ed Sheeran’s character.

SPOILERS FOLLOW BELOW

No Caption Provided

A scene in the episode shows Bronn “enjoying the attentions” of three women. One of them talks about how a Lannister soldier with ginger hair named “Eddie” met his fate at the battle when Daenerys scorched the Lannister soldiers with her dragons.

“That boy Eddie came back with his face burned right off. He’s got no eyelids now,” one of the women said, according to Polygon.

Sheeran appeared in the Season 7 Game of Thrones premiere, but that was the only episode he was in. He made his way into Game of Thrones thanks in part to Arya Stark actress Maisie Williams’ fondness for the “Shape of You” singer.

Sheeran’s appearance on Game of Thrones was met with some amount of debate and controversy. The episode’s director defended Sheeran’s appearance in the episode and praised him as an actor.

Sheeran himself told BuzzFeed that he thought his character was just “chillin'” after the battle. “It was fun being in Game of Thrones, but I definitely think they should’ve killed me off in the episode. I reckon that probably would’ve been the redemption for people that didn’t like it,” he said. So it turns out fans got what they wanted in a way.

Sheeran was not the first musician to have a cameo Game of Thrones. Sigur Ros, the drummer from Coldplay, and members of the metal band Mastodon have all been on the show in the past.
