2024, much like the year before it, looks like it’s going to be packed with a huge variety of games–both from established franchises like Destiny and Final Fantasy alongside brand-new games from developers of all sizes. The new year has just arrived, but we are already getting a sense of how packed it’s going to be, and there are several dates we’re circling on our calendars for when we might get “sick” with an “illness.”

Earlier this year, 20th Century Studios announced that Predator: Badlands will mark the franchise’s return to the big screen for the first time since 2018’s The Predator. But apparently the studio has much bigger plans for the franchise than anyone believed, and that includes a previously unannounced secret Predator movie.
