Disney just laid off almost their entire visual artist team while pushing AI-generated slop. The Clayface movie got a teaser. Street Fighter 2026 dropped a trailer. Someone leaked the Avatar animated movie and apparently reviewed it already. D4vd got arrested for murder and pleaded not guilty. Illumination made a Super Mario Galaxy movie and we're gonna talk about whether that's a good idea. Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler are doing a Miami Vice reboot for some reason.

This week: Pickmon's pivoting their marketing—hopefully to something that makes sense—while PlayStation hunts for their "biggest fans" to scan their faces into Gran Turismo 7. Nothing says "we value the community" like turning your most loyal players into digital NPCs. Meanwhile, Take-Two laid off their AI team right after Nexon called Arc Raiders a "Trojan Horse" for proving controversial AI tools can build triple-A hits with smaller teams. The irony is so thick you could spread it on toast.

In other chaos: Stop Killing Games had their day in the European Parliament and apparently crushed it...

This week: Fatal Fury gets Wolfgang Kruiser in City of the Wolves, Punk declares Invincible Vs "one of the worst fighting games ever made" after the open beta, and MenaRD vs. Daigo goes down April 29th—first-to-10, no excuses. Meanwhile, Tekken 8's Season 3 patch got review-bombed so hard Bandai Namco dropped an emergency hotfix, Harada's out, and the community is treating the Discord feedback portal like group therapy.

On the brighter side: Jam's back in Guilty Gear Strive 2.0, Akali hit 2XKO, and Avatar Legends launches July 2nd with rollback and crossplay for $29—finally, a licensed fighter that...

This week on Hollywolves, we're diving deep into the entertainment stories that matter—and the ones that just won't stop happening.

The BAFTA Incident: A disability activist with Tourette's syndrome shouts a racial slur during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation. The BBC leaves it in, edits other things out. We break down the editorial choices and whose discomfort gets broadcast.

Jonathan Majors' Controversial Comeback: After building his brand on Black indie credibility, Majors pivots to a Ben Shapiro-produced film. We discuss the rehabilitation arc and the cognitive dissonance.

Netflix Passes, Paramount Sc...

This week the industry decided to be a lot.

Nintendo is apparently suing the US government over tariffs—yes, really—and rumors suggest Switch 2 might need a hardware rework due to EU Regulations. Meanwhile, NVIDIA dropped DLSS 5 and the results are genuinely horrifying.

Corporate consolidation watch: Saudi Arabia now owns 10% of Capcom. We'll unpack what that actually means versus what people are panicking about.

On the human side, former Blizzard dev Jeff Kaplan finally spoke up about Overwatch's tortured development. Microsoft's "Project Helix" surfaced—their new PC gaming console hybrid. Fortnite jacked...

This week we're running through the fighting game gauntlet. Street Fighter 6 finally unleashes Alex with a story mode that's apparently unhinged that he is now dubbed Cousin Cracker. Meanwhile, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves drops Blue Mary and we're checking if SNK's momentum holds.

Tekken 8 Season 3 is... not having a great launch. We'll dig into what's going sideways. On the flip side, Marvel Tokon dropped some meaningful gameplay updates—actual progress or just band-aids?

Indie corner: Invincible Vs. just added Alien the Allen, Powerplex, and Dupli-Kate.

Capcom Cup's PPV technical issues be...

We're back from our Winter break. We got a lot to talk about. Nintendo and Sony both had presentations with very different results. And Anthony takes a few moments to reminds everyone how much he hates Breath of the Wild. Plus, Geoff Keighley is the true villain of gaming.

It's the end of 2025. After a year filled with sky highs and hell lows, we discuss this year in gaming. First we talk about the Geoff's Game Awards, then we break down the biggest topics of 2025 and then we end on a high talking about some of the best gaming hardware to come out in 2025.
