It might finally be time to jack in.
Apple is teasing its upcoming Neuromancer adaptation, which means we might be getting a trailer for the cyberpunk series — or maybe even a premiere date — in the near future.

Streaming scares.
Last week I wrote about Unhinged, a fascinating horror experience from Netflix that’s part of the streamer’s push into TV-based games. Well, now you can experience it for yourself, as it launches today.

What a deal.
YouTube-to-Hollywood hit Backrooms is coming back to theaters on July 3rd, with an expanded version called “Everything Must Go” that features 16 additional minutes of footage.

Super streaming Galaxy.
If you missed the second Super Mario movie in theaters, it’s hitting Peacock on July 30th, which is a good amount of time to jump into the games if you haven’t.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is beautiful but a little too busy

The squids are alright.
Nintendo provided a deeper look into its upcoming single-player take on Splatoon, getting into the nitty gritty of weapon customization, enemies, and — most important of all — fashion. Personally I can’t wait to wield a beyblade that sprays ink. You can watch the entire presentation below (skip ahead to the 30 minute mark).

Looking cool, Joker.
Fresh off the reveal of Persona 6 comes a report that Netflix is working on a live-action adaptation of the series. There aren’t many details yet, and the streamer has yet to confirm, but Christopher Monfette — who has worked on series like Picard and the upcoming VisionQuest — is attached as writer.

Take the edge off.
As promised, Netflix has released the first trailer for the sequel to its Cyberpunk 2077 anime Edgerunners. The new season will tell a standalone story, and the first look is full of blood, guitars, and some delightfully retro shots. No specific premiere date yet, but it’ll start streaming in the fall.

A little splat of news.
Nintendo’s next big Switch 2 exclusive drops at the end of July, and tomorrow the company will be showing off a little more of Splatoon Raiders with a 15-minute-long Direct. It starts streaming at 10AM ET.
