Trailers have become a significant part of anticipation culture. These days, eager fans analyze every frame of any advance look at shows like Game of Thrones or movies like Avengers: Endgame. The Verge can help you find the latest trailers as they’re released — not just the biggest and most analysis-worthy sneak peaks, but teasers for promising indie films and streaming shows as well. Follow along for first-look sneak peaks at everything from Netflix’s latest releases to the newest Marvel Cinematic Universe film.
In director Uta Briesewitz’s upcoming thriller American Sweatshop, a social media content moderator (Lili Reinhart) can’t move on from a gruesome murder she’s forced to watch as part of her job. The movie’s trailer makes it look like a smart way to focus on the real horrors people have to endure to keep the internet running, which might make it a surprise hit when it hits theaters on September 19th.
The new show from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg hasn’t actually premiered yet — it starts streaming on August 22nd — but Netflix has already confirmed it’ll be getting a second season. In the meantime, you can check out this new trailer that sets up the time-jumping family story.
Square Enix closed out today’s Nintendo Switch 2 partner showcase with a game that features names liable to send you into fits of confused laughter. Launching next year, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an HD-2D action RPG with a silly but acceptable name. (Elliot? Really?)
But Philabieldia, the name for where the story takes place, is truly one of the most ridiculous fantasy names I’ve ever heard. Philabieldia, wow. You know what, I’m in. The ridiculous name signals to me this is the exact kind of high-fantasy, low-stakes silliness I enjoy in not-Final Fantasy Square Enix games.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the hack-and-slash-style spinoff of the Legend of Zelda series, covers the canonical events that led to Tears of the Kingdom. Most importantly, the game covers what Princess Zelda was up to hanging out in the past with the very handsome Goat King of Hyrule.
Frustratingly, there’s still no release date, with Nintendo sharing that the game will release some time “this winter.” Regardless, I’m looking forward to beating the bacon off an army of bokoblins.
Persona 3 Reload, the remake of Atlus’ Persona 3, is coming to the Switch 2 October 23rd. The game released last year to rave reviews on PC, PS5, and Xbox. Now, Atlus is finally ready to release the game on the Switch 2, because why should the other consoles get all the devil-summoning fun?
To start off today’s Nintendo Direct partner showcase, Capcom showed off the latest entry in the Monster Hunter Stories series. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is coming to the Switch 2 next year.
Try as I might, I can’t get into the mainline Monster Hunter games. Since Monster Hunter Stories are more structured, turn-based RPGs where I’m riding the monsters instead of trying to fight them all the time, I might have to give this one a try when it comes out in 2026 and see if it finally sticks.
Drag x Drive, the Switch 2’s 3-v-3 wheelchair basketball game, is coming out next month and Nintendo has shared a new trailer. The game, the first exclusive to make extensive use of the Switch 2’s mouse controls, will test more than just your hoopin’ skills.
The trailer showed off a ton of other things you can do like wheelchair races, skills challenges, and more. You can also create pick-up games with your friends, customize your player and their wheels, or practice against the computer when Drag x Drive comes out August 14th.
Larry (Miles Teller) needs a few beats to figure out that he’s dead in the new trailer for director David Freyne’s metaphysical romcom Eternity. But once he does, Larry realizes that he has to figure out a way to convince his recently-deceased wife Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) to spend the afterlife with him rather than her first husband Luke (Callum Turner). No firm release date just yet, but the film’s out this November.
Train Dreams, which was one of my favorite films at the festival this year, is streaming on November 21st, and will also be coming to select theaters this fall. It’s an understated and heartbreaking movie about coping with loss and change, telling a story that spans a single lifetime and is buoyed by some incredible performances from Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones. You can get a feel for it in the new trailer below.
Pokémon Concierge, the adorable stop motion Netflix series, launches its second season very soon. The show, about hospitality worker at a resort exclusively for ‘mon and their humans, returns with new episodes September 4th. The announcement came during today’s Pokémon Direct and included a brand new trailer featuring all the new poké-friends you’ll make.
We knew Predator: Badlands was going to tell the story of an outcast Yautja forced to prove its worth by surviving on a planet full of monsters. But the movie’s latest trailer reveals that the Predator’s human-seeming companion Thia (Elle Fanning) is actually a Weyland-Yutani android, and the pair are going to find themselves fighting what appears to be... alien dinosaurs.
The first trailer for Mortal Kombat II — yes, there was a first one — is heavy on meta humor and, as you’d expect, on action. And it doesn’t look like it’s skimping on the gore. The good news is that the new movie will focus on the titular tournament when it hits theaters in October. Even better: Karl Urban is shaping up to be an excellent Johnny Cage.
That certainly seems like the premise of Pixar’s next feature, Hoppers, where people can inhabit 3D-printed versions of animals and live amongst the real ones in the wild. It also has a bit of a Wild Robot vibe, which isn’t a bad thing. Hoppers hits theaters on March 6th, 2026.
A sequel to Warner Bros.’ 2021 Mortal Kombat movie (which you definitely remember) is hitting theaters on October 24th. And when the movie’s first trailer drops tomorrow, we’ll be able to see whether Karl Urban’s Johnny Cage and Tati Gabrielle’s Jade are something to get excited about.
Beyond just the “coming soon” Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2, this Anime Expo 2025 teaser from Netflix highlights other animated releases that are either new or continuing, like Sakamoto Days, Beastars, Leviathan, and Splinter Cell: Deathwatch, and the upcoming “cozy MMO,” Spirit Crossing, that’s part of its new plan for games.
From director Julian Glander (Summer Camp Island), Boys Go to Jupiter revolves around Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) — a gig worker whose life is upended when he stumbles across an alien egg that hatches into a small creature he must take care of. The movie looks equal parts inspired, adorable, and like something worth checking out when it hits theaters on August 8th.
Dead Take, the next game from Tales of Kenzera developer Surgent Studios and the first game published under Palworld’s Pocketpair Publishing company, has revealed two of its stars...and you’ll probably recognize them.
In a new teaser for the game, video game voice acting it boys Ben Starr (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Final Fantasy XVI) and Neil Newbon (Resident Evil Village, Baldur’s Gate III), will star as two friends who have to work together to escape a hellish Hollywood mansion.
Our first look at Ari Aster’s upcoming feature Eddington made it seem like a pandemic-era drama, but the film’s latest trailer makes it feel like it’s going to be more of a politically-charged thriller when it hits theaters on July 18th.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ latest trailer features some cool new shots of the team using their powers to take on Galactus and the Silver Surfer, but its most surprising reveal is the fact that Ben Grimm can apparently grow a beard made out of his rock-like carapace.
If you’re of the rare homeowner set and even if you’re not there’s something powerfully attractive about a power washer. You point it at something dirty, pull the trigger, and it’s dirty no more (or if it’s glass, it is simply no more.)
It’s such millenial catnip that the developers at FuturLab have made a massive hit out of the relatively simple home improvement machine with Power Wash Simulator and it’s sequel Power Wash Simulator 2. Coming sometime this year, you can check out the PWS2’s new trailer below.
If you’ve got an iPhone running iOS 18.4 or later, the Apple TV Plus tab of the TV app now features a trailer for the upcoming Brad Pitt F1 movie that’s now enhanced with vibrations created by the modern iPhone’s Taptic Engine.
You can not only feel an F1 car’s engine revving, but subtler events in the trailer like the click of a seatbelt being fastened, and buttons being pressed on a steering wheel.
In case you were wondering what sorts of new / returning series and movies are making their way to Apple TV Plus this year, the studio has just dropped a sizzle reel teasing some of what we can expect to see from Chief of War, Invasion season 3, Foundation season 3, Slow Horses season 5, and more.
The latest trailer for Marvel’s Ironheart Disney Plus series is (thankfully) light on plot details, but it’s chock full of snazzy shots of Riri Williams’ latest suit, which seems like it’s going to be able to channel magical energies when the show premieres on June 24th.
Gears of War: Reloaded will put the original Gears series in more hands than ever before. We already knew the game was coming to PS5 for the first time, along with cross-play and cross progression. We also knew the release date, August 26th. I guess Xbox didn’t really want anything, just to remind us it’s still here and coming soon.
Bloober Team is having a great time. Silent Hill 2 released to rave reviews and the developer has another project in the works with Konami. The team also has an original project, Cronos: The New Dawn.
We got a new trailer for the game featuring a tone of gross, be-tentacled monsters and some timey wimey shenanigans. Still now firm release date, though, beyond fall 2025.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle came out just last year and the folks at MachineGames have been busy. During the Xbox Games Showcase we got a glimpse at a new DLC campaign, The Order of Giants.
In the trailer, it looks like Indy will be investigating the origins of the Nephilim, the mysterious giant-like men sworn to protect the Great Circle. I hope the DLC means we’ll get the chance to see Tony Todd’s character for one last time.
