CBR was able to go hands-on with The First Descendant, an upcoming free-to-play action-RPG looter-shooter by Nexon similar to games like Outriders. The looter-shooter genre has steadily increased in popularity since the release of Gearbox Software's Borderlands 2 in 2012, with popular games like Warframe and the Destiny franchise also contributing to the genre's success, so it's no surprise when a new title is added to its ever-expanding library of games. The First Descendant will soon join the fray as a free-to-play third-person cooperative action-RPG looter-shooter by Nexon for PS4/PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows. In The First Descendant, players take on the role of one of many "Descendants," superhuman beings of unusual strength with magic abilities whose mission is to fight back a tyrannical group known as the Vulgus. As the Vulgus and their leader, Karel, threaten the world of Ingris, Descendants must use their supernatural abilities to repel the ...

Ahsoka's fifth episode revisited Ahsoka Tano's youth, bringing Star Wars: The Clone Wars' version of the character to live action. But who played her? The fifth episode of Ahsoka delivered on fans expectations in a big way. After Episode 4 ended with Ahsoka waking to find herself in the World Between Worlds, where she was confronted by her former master, Anakin Skywalker, Episode 5 took a trip into the master-and-apprentice duo's history. Throughout a series of flashbacks to key moments in the Clone Wars, Anakin attempted to impart one final lesson on his old Padawan. These Clone Wars sequences introduced a younger version of Ahsoka Tano to live action for the first time, with a younger actor portraying her. The version of Ahsoka who appears throughout the flashbacks in "Shadow Warrior" is the character as Star Wars fans first knew her, on Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Bringing this younger Ahsoka into live action was a risky move in some regards; while the passa...

Scream franchise star Neve Campbell doubles down on her original comments about the pay dispute that led to her absence from Scream VI. Scream film series star Neve Campbell expresses no regret about her handling of the pay dispute that led to her missing out on Scream VI, doubling down on how "disrespectful" the situation played out in her eyes. Speaking with KISS 92.5 FM on the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) red carpet, Campbell, who's known for starring as Sidney Prescott throughout the Scream franchise, lamented her treatment during salary negotiations for the most recent sequel. While Campbell maintains her love for the series, she didn't feel she was treated equally when trying to work out a fair payment structure, believing she was right to stick to her principles. "As much as I love the characters that I’ve played and ones that I’ve had a history with, it’s also very important to me the concept of equal pay. We’re still not there yet," sh...

Persona 5 is undoubtedly Atlas' most successful title in recent years, but the company's reliance on the hit JRPG is starting to backfire. Although Atlus' Persona series has held a fairly large fan base throughout the years, it skyrocketed into mainstream popularity with the release of Persona 5. The game's memorable soundtrack, excellent writing and uniquely stylish visuals captivated longtime JRPG players while also appealing to those who aren't fans of the genre. Persona 5 quickly became a massive critical and commercial success, so it's no surprise that Atlus has released multiple spinoffs of the hit title. However, after almost seven years of constant promotion and releases, it might be time for Atlus to finally move on from the hit RPG.. Since the initial release of Persona 5, Atlus has found a seemingly endless variety of reasons to revisit the game's world and characters. Between direct adaptations, spinoff works and countless crossovers with other g...

Ahsoka's latest installment, "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," sees its titular protagonist cross blades with a fan-favorite character for the second time. Ahsoka Episode 5, "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," just dropped, and it includes the long-awaited rematch between Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen). The pair first cross blades early in "Part Five: Shadow Warrior," with Anakin framing the fight as the next stage of his former pupil's Jedi training. Anakin and Ahsoka resume their duel later in the episode, with the former now wielding a red lightsaber and visibly subsumed by his Darth Vader persona. The showdown between Anakin and Ahsoka marks the first time they have squared off since Star Wars Rebels' Season 2 finale, "Twilight of the Apprentice." Reports that Anakin's involvement in Ahsoka would see him trading blows with his ex-padawan first started doing the rounds online in October 2...

The runtime of Ahsoka's sixth episode suggests the upcoming chapter in the Star Wars story will be one of the series' longest yet. The runtime of Ahsoka Episode 6 has reportedly made its way online. Per X account DiamondFire, the next chapter in the Disney+ Star Wars series will run for 46 minutes and 26 seconds. This would make it the third longest episode to date, beaten only by the first installment, which clocked in at 54 minutes and the second episode which sported a runtime of 49 minutes and 50 seconds. It's also significantly longer than Episode 3, which only ran for 34 minutes much to the disappointment of some fans. It's worth noting that neither Lucasfilm nor Disney have verified the claims so a grain of salt is recommended. Serving as a continuation of the story of Star Wars Rebels, the hit animated series that followed a group of ragtag rebels working to bring down The Empire, Ahsoka has earned plenty of praise from Star Wars fans. Many have lauded creator D...
