Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is a really, really big game filled with hundreds of characters, ships, planets, and weapons all pulled from every Star Wars film ever made. But, as a lifelong Star Wars nerd, I'm very skilled at nitpicking things I love and after thinking about it for some time I came up with a list…

One of the most satisfying things in the first Kerbal Space Program was when you'd reached orbit, and could then start plotting courses and interceptions with other objects throughout its fictional solar system. Kerbal Space Program 2 wants to up the ante somewhat by upping the scale and allowing for interstellar travel.

A new 15-minute video from its developers talks about the challenges of simulating interstellar travel - from the engine changes required to support such vast scale, to the reasons for even wanting to.

Makoto Shinkai New Movie Suzume no Tojimari Release

Suzume no Tojimari, the new movie from Your Name director Makoto Shinkai, has received a November release date. The movie will debut in Japanese theaters on November 11, 2022. A new key visual also gives fans a first look at the film's main heroine, a schoolgirl named Suzume.

The film first appeared during a reveal event back in December 2021. Shinkai described it as a modern road movie in which the protagonists will travel across Japan. The main character, Suzume, is a 17-year-old schoolgirl from the Kyushu region who meets a boy looking for a strange door. Upon finding the door and opening it, Suzume sets off a chain reaction that opens other mysterious doors across the country and causes havoc. The movie follows Suzume as she travels across the country to find and close these doors.

The new key visual shares some similarities with the first promotional image, but with a few notable differences. Firstly, the image now features Suzume front and center, looking behind her and holding a wooden chair. The door in front of her is also now open slightly, with a strange glow emanating from inside. The announcement tweet implies that the open door and wooden chair may hold some sort of hidden meaning.

New footage of the new Your Name director's movie will appear during a premiere event on April 10, 2022, at 8 p.m. Japan Time (7 a.m. Eastern / 1 p.m. CEST). The movie premiere event will be available to watch on the Toho YouTube channel. The announcement tweet also shows off a still of Suzume walking in what looks to be an abandoned hot spring town.

Demon Slayer Festival

The 2022 Demon Slayer Kimetsu Festival event will sell merchandise based on the anime's second season. In addition to items that appeared during the last event, this year will include items such as Tengen Uzui's arm bangles and stickers based on his painted fingernails. There will also be promotional material for the upcoming Swordsmith Village Arc.

Due to public health concerns, the 2021 Kimetsu Festival turned into an online-only event. However, this year's Kimetsu Festival will be at Tokyo's Makuhari Messe Hall. It will include live-streamed panels and physical booths. The event will be held for two days from April 16-17, 2022.

During the event, Aniplex will sell a variety of Demon Slayer merchandise. Standard items like pamphlets, postcards, badges, and tapestries will be based on the promotional key art for the event. Other items will be more specific to the franchise's second season. Tengen Uzui's armbands, for example, will cost ¥7,500 (~$60) and will be made of actual metal. The store will also sell Uzui's fingernail art in sticker form for ¥1,000 (~$8). More niche items include a stirring spoon based on Daki's hairpin and the notepad Senjuro uses.
