Nintendo Direct Planned for Tomorrow

While Creative Assembly will readily tell you that Total War: Medieval 3 is still years away from release, with the project currently only in pre-production, the team are being quite open with their plan for the long, long, long-awaited strategy game. A recent message from the game’s creative director, for instance, goes into how you can mess around with inheritance planning for the whole kingdom of France.

As someone who is currently going through the process of creating a will and signing life insurance paperwork, I am delighted to turn this boring bureaucracy into a transferable skill to ensure my friends and family can keep sticking it to the British throughout my 12th century campaign.

More importantly, potentially even than that, is how these systems are an example of the replayability Creative Assembly is hoping to build into Total War: Medieval 3 and what they’ve learned from Crusader Kings 3.

In the upcoming weeks, four trailers for *Avengers: Doomsday* are anticipated to debut in cinemas prior to *Avatar: Fire and Ash*. Each of these promos spotlights a character from the film’s vast ensemble, with this week’s trailer focusing on Steve Rogers. This promotional strategy appears to be designed to lure Marvel enthusiasts into viewing the three-hour feature repeatedly. Some fans have reported attending early screenings of *Avatar* not only to revisit Pandora but also to view the *Avengers* teaser. However, reactions have been varied, as some audience members indicated that the trailer did not appear during their showings.

A Reddit user, MistakeNecessary1950, voiced their dissatisfaction, stating, “We’ve been super baited, chat.” While some attendees confirmed they saw the teasers, others, including a fan from Brazil, recounted their experiences of not encountering any preview at their Cinemark showing. Technical issues have also contributed to some viewers missing the trailers entirely.

Feedback on social media has been divided. Users from different areas have expressed their displeasure about missing the *Avengers: Doomsday* teaser, with some mentioning that their screenings lacked any previews. Several tweets from users have indicated that they were only presented with ads and no *Avengers* material.

Although the trailers are meant to be exclusive to theaters, fans have begun sharing them online, prompting copyright actions from Marvel. It’s likely these clips will be officially uploaded to YouTube for marketing reasons at some point. Still, whether or not the *Avengers* teaser will be shown at local theaters during *Avatar* screenings can be uncertain, turning it into a risk for fans hoping to catch the trailers.

*Avengers: Doomsday* is scheduled for a theatrical release on December 18, 2026. Fans eagerly anticipating the film’s debut must navigate potential discrepancies in teaser showings during the *Avatar: Fire and Ash* presentations.

FromSoftware has an obvious penchant for secrets, their games are just littered with them. This is probably best exemplified in Elden Ring for the simple fact that the game is unapproachably massive, you’re more than likely to find at least one secret somewhere along the line even just by accident. And four years on, the secrets continue to manifest, albeit on this occasion thanks to known FromSoft dataminer Lance McDonald, who’s managed to uncover a cutscene involving Miquella. You know, that guy that Malenia mentions almost every time she kills you, and also features prominently in Shadow of the Erdtree.
