Knightcast – HUGE Movie & Gaming News!

Tonight on Knightcast, the news cycle is absolutely exploding—and we’re diving head-first into one of the wildest weeks the movie and gaming industries have seen in years.

We start with a seismic moment in fighting game history as Katsuhiro Harada announces he’s leaving Bandai Namco at the end of 2025, closing a monumental 30-year chapter with Tekken. What does this mean for the franchise and the future of fighting games?

Meanwhile Hollywood is going through a corporate war unlike anything we’ve seen.
Paramount has launched a hostile takeover bid to buy Warner Bros for $108.4B—going directly to shareholders and dragging Middle Eastern investors into the mix. This comes right after Netflix confirmed their own acquisition plans, sparking outrage from guilds, directors, and a full wave of industry drama brewing behind the scenes.
Both studios are now promising theatrical revivals, with Paramount claiming they’ll release 30+ movies a year if they win. The battle for WB is ON.

In gaming, we’ve got big controversy and big announcements:
• The Players’ Voice vote shocks everyone as ARC Raiders misses the Top 5—despite all the fan hype.
• We finally get a look at the finalists, including the unexpected rise of Expedition 33 and the eternal meme that is Silksong resurfacing.
• Marvel Rivals drops an explosive reveal with Rogue joining the roster, complete with power absorption mechanics that could flip PvP meta upside-down.
• And in the world of Kingdom Hearts, Alyson Stoner clears up the rumor storm by confirming they only recorded a couple of past filler lines for Naminé—proving once again why facts beat narrative-spinning every time.

We also touch on movie awards season with One Battle After Another dominating the Golden Globes, plus some lighter stories like Ella Purnell shouting out Concrete Genie and Venom’s co-creator suggesting Alan Ritchson as the perfect Eddie Brock.

All of this, plus more surprises, reactions, and breakdowns—tonight’s episode is absolutely stacked.

Buckle up. Knightcast is LOADED tonight.
