Janina Gavankar, who voiced Tatai in The Frozen Wilds DLC, may have spilled the beans on a potential sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn.

Via a Reddit post from user ninjyte, Gavankar, who portrayed Iden Versio in Star Wars Battlefront II, was speaking with fans at Star Wars Celebration Chicago when she made the potential slip. A fan thanked Gavankar for introducing her to Horizon Zero Dawn, to which Gavankar replied “Just wait until you see the sequel, you’re gonna die. I know some secrets, you’re gonna die.”

Though her character Tatai was only present in the game’s DLC, she did have an open narrative thread where she was headed to Sundom to learn how to harvest machines. Because of this continuation, Tatai could return in a sequel, meaning Gavankar may have some knowledge of its development. IGN has reached out to PlayStation for comment.

A new trailer for Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series – Episode I reveals new aspects of the game’s story and gameplay: lightsaber wielding and all.

The trailer begins with the player being interrogated by an imperial officer, who says “You’ve caused us considerable inconvenience. In a moment, the lord of this monolith will give you a task. A word of advice: do not anger Vader.”

Now that Darth Vader has found the player character, he’s “in reach of enormous power,” and the character must escape his fortress on Mustafar. The trailer shows a droid companion ZOE3 (voiced by SNL’s Maya Rudolph) traveling with and helping the player.

A female character then says “It appears Vader has finally found his candidate, and our future is in your hands.” After this, Darth Vader says “You are the one I’ve been searching for. Do as I command.”

Yesterday’s new Rage 2 trailer, titled “Everything vs. Me,” was as funny as it was informative about id Software and Avalanche’s upcoming first-person shooter sequel (it’s out May 14). There’s plenty to be learned from the trailer, too, so we stole some detailed notes from id Software (and by that we mean, we kindly asked for more information and they graciously provided it!) and put all of the information together in the breakdown trailer above.

Check it out, and since Rage 2 happens to be our IGN First game for April, that means we’re spotlighting it all month long. Take a look below for the new 11-minute gameplay video we exclusively debuted earlier this week. It shows off a boss fight, an open-world activity, vehicle combat, the new Grav-Dart Launcher weapon, and the coup de grace, the introduction of Doom’s legendary BFG 9000 into Rage 2. Check it out if you missed it, and stay tuned for plenty more Rage 2 on IGN!
