Multiversus has shut down, which would be a bummer for fans of the platform fighter. On the movie front, the role of Zelda in the upcoming Legend of Zelda movie is apparently being actively pursued, so casting news could drop anytime. For Nintendo fans, the rumor mill is churning that Target will allow online ordering of the Switch 2 the day after it launches, potentially making it easier to snag one. And for COD zombies aficionados, Grief Mode is making a comeback, which would definitely add a new layer of chaos to the undead action.
