Keanu Reeves’ renaissance will continue into the foreseeable future, as two of his major upcoming movies, The Matrix 4 and John Wick: Chapter 4, are both set to be released on May 21, 2021. Fans are dubbing this sublime future moment as “Keanu Day” and we’re here for it.
The news broke Wednesday that WB had finally set The Matrix 4’s release date, and fans quickly noticed this aligned directly with John Wick: Chapter 4. While it’s unlikely both films will ultimately keep the same release date — when film conflicts like this emerge, one studio tends to move its directly competing movie to a different date — fans across the Internet will continue to dream about the impending Keanu Day, and the joy it could bring.
Update: In a cross-play (ahem, krossplay) FAQ, Warner Bros. explained that the feature will be in a testing phase across PS4 and Xbox One, and it will include designated rooms where you can specifically challenge players from the other console. The menu toggle will be under the Online game menu, but your game progress and unlocks are still tied to your home console and can’t be imported across platforms. It does not give an ETA on this feature, though, saying “exact timing has not been confirmed.”
NetherRealm has issued a new Mortal Kombat 11 update that appears to include a significant new feature–though it is nowhere in the official patch notes. The version 1.13 update history when viewed on PS4 has a note that it “Add cross-play.”
That would suggest that the update allows PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch players to battle it out without platform restrictions, but the official patch notes for PS4 aand Xbox One strangely make no mention of the feature. Those notes, which you can read in full below, focus on some minor gameplay adjustments and Towers of Time fixes, among other tweaks.
The reason for the disparity isn’t clear. The feature could be incoming sometime in the future. GameSpot has contacted NetherRealm for clarification.

The Game Awards 2019 are happening tonight, kicking off at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET in Los Angeles, and while the awards themselves are exciting, what better way to celebrate some of this year’s biggest games than with a sale? Best Buy is getting in on the Game Awards hype with a big sale on some of the Game Awards nominees and other critically acclaimed games, including Control, Resident Evil 2, and Devil May Cry 5. In addition, the retailer is offering some sweet pre-order bonuses on highly anticipated 2020 releases like Cyberpunk 2077 and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
The sale largely features discounts on PS4 and Xbox One games, with the best deals including Control for $40, Resident Evil 2 for $25, and Kingdom Hearts 3 for $20. We did see lower prices on some of these games during Black Friday (Resident Evil 2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 both hit $15, while Control was as low as $25 at one store), but if you missed out on those rare deals, these are still solid prices for some excellent games, especially if you need to pick them up before Christmas.

We already knew about a handful of Baby Yoda toys arriving next year–including Mattel’s adorable Baby Yoda plush–but now Hasbro is throwing its hat in the ring. The toy manufacturer has revealed four new Baby Yoda products, each of which will release next spring.
Hasbro will go head-to-head against Mattel with its own Baby Yoda plush. It’s a talking plush, but don’t expect him to say, “Hi, I’m the cutest baby ever.” Instead, it will make the soft, sweet baby noises you hear in The Mandalorian. Hasbro will also release two Baby Yoda action figures, including a new addition to the Black Series Stars Wars lineup.
You can collect six different Baby Yoda poses from the show thanks to 2.2-inch collectibles from Hasbro. Yes, one of the poses is Baby Yoda sipping tea like the icon he is.
Hasbro’s Baby Yoda toys are available to pre-order at Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, GameStop, and Shop Disney. Check them out below.

From retro clothes and accessories to classic consoles, arcade cabinets, movies and television shows, these are the best retro and nostalgia gifts for 2019.
Valve was recently asked if Half-Life: Alyx could ever come to PlayStation VR and its response wasn’t an outright no.
PushSquare reached out to Valve designer Greg Coomer to ask if Half-Life: Alyx could come to PlayStation VR one day. Coomer got back to say that the “initial” release would be “available for SteamVR only.” That much we already know.
However, Coomer then that he has to give that answer “because we’re very focused on the initial release” right now. He then finished up by saying that Valve has “not ruled anything out” when it comes to bringing Half-Life: Alyx to other platforms.
Star Wars’ John Boyega has publicly apologized for the “badly-worded” comments he made in a recent interview that covered social media abuse, which some fans believed were referencing his Last Jedi co-star Kelly Marie Tran.
Taking to Twitter on Thursday morning, the actor issued a statement to clarify the interview quotes that have been circulating, in which he told Variety that a person is “weak” if they “believe in every single thing” that they read online.
“In no way was I referring to Kelly when I made my comments although the interviewer mentioned her given the topic,” he explained in the post. “I was really speaking from my own perspective throughout this franchise. Sometimes I’ve felt strong and sometimes I’ve felt weak. Badly worded though. I apologize.”
