Despite Sony’s double State of Play this week being a little bit of a dud — though did you catch the hard-as-hell new Resident Evil clip at the very beginning? — the trailer-sphere nonetheless kept chugging along as it always does. We got a new look at Street Fighter and a bunch more trailers ahead of Venice and Toronto Film Festivals for movies that are already catching Oscar buzz, a holdover from gamescom, and an indie game that caught my attention at the Tribeca Festival this past summer. These are the trailers worth checking out this week (and here’s what you missed last week).
It’s been about four months since the last Street Fighter trailer, and with a little more than a month before release, I’m excited we got another 3-ish minute taste of what to expect from the Kitao Sakurai-directed movie. I might never not be taken aback by blond Noah Centineo as Ken, but the tone of this movie remains convincingly super fun. Like Eric Andre spittles in the new trailer, “This is STREET FIGHTERRRRR!”
Street Fighter releases in theaters October 16.
As a member of the RGG hive — if this isn’t you, you’re making a big mistake with your life — this extended look at the environments and fight mechanics of the not-Yakuza-prequel game Stranger Than Heaven from gamescom has me mega-hyped. As we’ve already previewed out of SGF, the combat definitely looks more difficult than RGG’s other non-turn-based games, but I’m glad they still found a way to make early-to-mid-1900s street goons look nearly as ridiculous as present-day Kamurocho.
Stranger Than Heaven releases on PS5, Xbox X|S, and PC on January 15, 2027.
Jack O’Connell, Guy Pearce, and Claire Foy star in INK, from Academy Award-winning director Danny Boyle.A group of visionaries and misfits had an idea for a new kind of news — one that would give the people what they want and would change the face of the world we live in today.… pic.twitter.com/5EHsGjl0Pl
Danny Boyle seems to have locked the eff in for Ink, starring Jack O’Connell and Guy Pearce, who are both always locked in, as Larry Lamb and Rupert Murdoch as they orchestrate the salacious relaunch of the British tabloid The Sun while Claire Foy tries to talk some sense into them. Maybe it’s too on the nose for a media person to be excited about a media movie, but Ink, which just premiered at the Venice Film Festival, has me hooked.
Ink releases in theaters December 11 before coming to Netflix on January 8.
