Rumours surrounding a new Splinter Cell game have been rampant, even going as far back as 2018 when an E3 leak by Amazon suggested that a new title was in the works at Ubisoft. Since then, there have been a few denials from developers about a new Splinter Cell. To add a little more fuel to the fire, it seems like Ubisoft recently welcomed the return of a prominent creative director, Maxime Beland. READ MORE: Netflix South Africa to Add 21 Studio Ghibli Films Next Month VGC reports that Beland has returned to Ubisoft after departing from the company in February 2019. The creative director started working at Ubisoft in 1998, and notably served as the CD for Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Far Cry 4, Far Cry Primal, Far Cry 5, and more. He left Ubisoft to join Epic Games, but has since left that company. This isn't concrete proof that Beland is working on a new Splinter Cell project, as he could potentially be working on multiple other IPs such as Rainbow Six or Far Cry, leading to the possibility that we might see sequels for those too in the future. His return sure is a welcomed one, though, as his vision has certainly spawned some terrific games in his career - a particular favourite of mine being Far Cry 4. What do you think Beland might have been brought back to work on? We'll have to sit tight for new announcements from Ubisoft, though, as the company delayed a number of their big upcoming titles last year. With the reveal of the next Assassin's Creed on the horizon, the future is looking exciting.

Studio Ghibli films are notorious for leaving its viewers in tears by the time the end credits roll up on the screen. Well, looks like that emotional train is making its way to Netflix in the near future. Unfortunately, the US and Japan are not part of this list.

That being said, this is a pretty big deal for Netflix. They have been attempting to bolster its anime lineup for some time now and this is a perfect addition. This deal may just open the doorway for more titles to come. We will just have to wait and see.

Remedy's Control was one of the biggest surprises of last year, not only being a widely applauded return to glory for the developer, but also one of the best games of 2019 - it even managed to break into our own list of 2019's Games of the Year. With the newfound success of Control, it seems like the hype train isn't stopping short for the game, as there might potentially be a movie adaptation in the talks. READ MORE: A Nexus Guide: Kingdom Hearts Explained (Part 5) Twitter exchanges, especially ones between major developers and industry folk, can usually be dismissed as a bit of light-hearted fun, trolling, or teases that ultimately lead nowhere. However, one interaction caught our attention. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story writer Gary Whitta responded to a tweet asking "What video game do you think would make the best movie? And would you write it?" Whitta swiftly replied, "CONTROL. And yes." In a surprise turn, Remedy's Communications Director, Thomas Puha, replied to Whitta with "Let's talk." Lets talk @garywhitta — Thomas Puha (@RiotRMD) January 21, 2020 This isn't to say that Control will indeed be adapted into a movie, as this little Twitter interaction could also just be industry creatives having a bit of fun. It has certainly spurred some excitement in the community, though, as the potential for Control in a movie format is fantastic. While the game's ingenious style and warped reality-bending is eye-catching, we've seen some movies tackle similar visual styles before, notably Inception, Dark City, and Doctor Strange. Could Control work as a movie? Control is now available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

In our previous A Nexus Guide: Kingdom Hearts Explained Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4, we properly set up the story leading up to Kingdom Hearts III. Though this guide will cover the essentials of Kingdom Hearts III, it is still recommended you play the game yourself before diving into the Re Mind DLC. If you've already played through the game, then stick around and read through our guide. Seeing as Kingdom Hearts III might be on a lot of player's backlogs, this guide will not cover all events, characters, and actions featured in the story. But, at the end of the guide, you will have a pretty basic idea of what happened in the third numbered entry in the Kingdom Hearts series. "Hey, you need an extra guy?" Explained in: Kingdom Hearts III Our faithful heroes, Sora, Donald, and Goofy travel to Mount Olympus in search of Hercules, in hopes of learning about Sora's "power of waking." Instead, they are met by Hades and the titans. As these things go, our gang emerges victorious, unfortunately, none the wiser regarding the waking power. In the meantime, Mickey and Riku search for Aqua in the Realm of Darkness, while Kairi and Lea train to become Keyblade Masters. Through Ienzo's research on Ansem the Wise's data, Sora discovers all the hearts trapped in his body. This encourages him to embark on a mission to restore the hearts trapped inside him. Awaking the power of waking Explained in: Kingdom Hearts III Sora, still on his journey to restore the hearts, eventually stumbles onto master Eraqus's Keyblade. Sora uses the blade to enter the Dark Realm, adding Riku and Mickey to bring a corrupted Aqua back to the Realm of Light. The chase leads them to Castle Oblivion, which Aqua changes into the Land of Departure. A battle ensues, an unwelcomed guest appears, and Sora discovers his power of waking. In doing so, Sora manages to revive Ventus who fights off the unwanted interloper. Finally facing the fiends Explained in: Kingdom Hearts III Encountering a number of Organization XIII members on their travels, it seems all roads lead to the Keyblade Graveyard. Sora, accompanied by seven other Keyblade wielders, eventually stumbles into the fated Graveyard. Hopelessly outnumbered by the Heartless, our heroes are nearly beaten into submission, with Sora taking the brunt of the beating. He awakens in a place called The Final World, a place where the heart goes when the body perishes. Meeting Chirithy, it is revealed Sora's heart is still holding onto something in the real world, and he can only leave The Final World once his body has been recovered. Jumping from world to world, in the effort of restoring his body and saving the Guardians of Light, Sora succeeds and returns to his friends in the Keyblade Graveyard. It is revealed that Kairi was the one who kept his heart anchored while he was in The Final World. A massive battle ensues between our heroes, Xehanort (who is disguised as Terra), and the Heartless. Victory is an ignorant idea Explained in: Kingdom Hearts III The members of Organization XIII gets defeated one by one, restoring the bodies and hearts of those who they separated during their operations. Xehanort forces Sora to attack him by destroying Kairi's body, enabling him to reforge the X-blade and summon Kingdom Hearts. Using Xehanort's time-traveling ability against him, Sora, Donald, and Goofy throw him into the past, where they manage to defeat Master Xehanort. After the battle, the rest of the Keyblade wielders meet up with Sora to witness the spirit of Master Eraqus ushering a defeated Xehanort into Kingdom Hearts (essentially the afterlife). Our spiky-haired hero uses the X-blade to close Kingdom Hearts and return everyone to their own world. As a final act of friendship, Sora uses the power of waking to restore Kairi's body. Back on Destiny Island, the heroes celebrate their victory. Sora and Kairi sit on a Paopu tree, sharing one of the star-shaped fruits. It is in this final scene that we witness Sora fading out of existence. Convoluted, not even once Explained in: Kingdom Hearts III post-credit scene Zigbar, the only member of Organization XIII who managed to escape the battle in the Keyblade Graveyard, is seen standing next to the Foretellers with Xehanort's Keyblade in hand. It is revealed that Zigbar was non-other than Luxu (an aspiring Keyblade Master), who is no divulging all that has happened to the Foretellers. The final scene shows Xehanort and Eraqus engaged in another game of chess, only this time the pieces represent Sora and the Foretellers. The plot thickens... it really does Explained in: Kingdom Hearts III secret ending The secret ending sees Sora and Riku wake up in a real-life Shibuya, Tokyo. The Riku-looking Yozora, who's a character in the Kingdom Hearts III mini-game, Verum Rex, sits upon a rooftop watching the city. Atop another rooftop in Shibuya, a hooded-figure dressed in the signature Organization XIII cloak makes a heart shape with his hands against the moon. Honestly, at this point in time franchise history, nothing seems impossible. That's about it. A very, very condensed explanation of Kingdom Hearts III. When read in conjunction with our other guides, it will make perfect sense. If you haven't played through Kingdom Hearts III yet, give our review a read, it might just tide you over. Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind DLC releases January 23, 2020 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
