For those that don't already have the Xbox Game Pass deal, there are a few things you should know that might help make the decision to join a little easier. With the Xbox Game Pass service, there are two options to choose from with the Xbox Game Pass and the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Both offer Team Green fans a chance to play over 100 titles at no additional cost, including day-one launches of first-party titles. With the acquisition of Bethesda, there will be even more incentive to join up with this particular service. 

Xbox Game Pass is $9.99 a month, whereas Xbox Game Pass Ultimate comes in at $14.99 and includes Xbox Live Gold. It's a pretty good deal, especially for those that are picky with their games. With EA's library joining the fray and rumors of Ubisoft Plus possibly merging as well, this deal is honestly one of the better ones out there currently on the market.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning gave a beloved RPG experience a second lease on life, much to the delight of many story-loving gamers. With a new expansion on the way with Fatesworn, the team behind this particular epic tale has one more pleasant surprise for fans: it's also coming to Nintendo Switch. 

In a new trailer, THQ Nordic confirmed that "Amalur is expanding its borders and heading into the unknown territory of...Nintendo" with a Switch release date set for March 16: 

The dive into a new platform comes just at the right time because the Fatesworn expansion is also on the way soon. Fatesworn features entirely new content, giving returning players from the original title something new to look forward to when diving back into the Faelands. 

For those that may not have enjoyed what Amalur has to offer quite yet, we can't recommend it enough! This particular RPG came from the mind of bestselling author R.A. Salvatore alongside Spawn creator Todd McFarlane. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's lead designer Ken Rolston also joined the team for this remaster, bringing with him even more RPG expertise to an unforgettable tale.

A new Dungeons & Dragons movie was confirmed back in May of last year but there is also a new live-action television series also in the works thanks to Hasbro and eOne. While the movie is still trying to decide if actor Chris Pine will take a leading role, the TV series just secured itself a phenomenal grab with John Wick creator Derek Kolstad joining the team as the lead writer. 

Kolstad's addition to the growing team was confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, though the idea behind the upcoming show remains a mystery. Reflecting back on Kolstad's impressive work history, including the epic John Wick franchise, the potential is there to see a unique spin on a beloved universe. Pair that with his previous contributions to Hulu's Hitman: Agent 47 and as well as his work on Marvel's The Falcon and the Winter Soldier TV series, there is no telling what sort of flavor he'll bring to the world of orcs, elves, and mystery. 

Unfortunately, there isn't any information about the movie or the TV series, but we do know that Kolstad was brought on to write the show as well as to develop a pitch to ensure it has as much support as possible before going into production. 

It will be interesting to see what both experiences have to offer, especially as Dungeons & Dragons continues to grow its community with the help of the mainstream spotlight on the fantasy adventure thanks to properties like Critical Role and Geek & Sundry. 

With both the film and TV series on the way, what would you like to see come from the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons adaptations? Any particular period in the tabletop's history that you'd be the most interested in seeing, any particular settings capture your eye? Sound off with all of those D&D thoughts in the comment section below and give us your best pitch for what the future should hold.
