Resident Evil 8, Village, is coming to PS5. It will continue Ethan Winters’ story from RE7 and will star Chris Redfield, apparently. Via Gamespot:
According to the translated interview, Resident Evil Village is about 60% complete and has been in development for about 3.5 years. It also serves as the conclusion to Ethan Winters’ story that started in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard; however, the developer didn’t make it clear which of the two mid-game choices is canon. In Resident Evil 7, you’re asked to choose who to save between your wife and another character, which results in some striking differences. They also said that the title emphasizes the village because it is “another protagonist” in the game.

Athlete A is a new Netflix documentary about USAG Gymnastic’s mass-cover up of the Larry Nassar scandal, where he abused many girls over decades. Via Screenrant:
Netflix documentary Athlete A recounts the shocking USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal, in which more than 500 former patients of sports doctor Larry Nassar reported having been molested by over a period of several decades. The film covers the broad strokes of the case, but with a scandal this far-reaching there are also some details left out.
The “Athlete A” of the documentary’s title refers to Maggie Nichols, a gymnast who came forward about the abuse she’d experienced while in Nassar’s care in 2015. After being told about the allegations, USA Gymnastics President and CEO Steve Penny waited five weeks before reporting it to the FBI. Nichols and her family say that they were told by USAG not to go public, and Nassar continued to treat (and molest) young gymnasts for a further fifteen months, until a story about his history of abusing girls broke in The Indianapolis Star.
