New Sources
Phase 5 - only a few of the projects happening in Phase 5 will feed into the multiverse. Marvels, Agatha, Fantastic 4, Deadpool 3, Quantumania, Loki S2. ~AND~ The 838 Universe is supposed to be factoring into the overall plot heavily. ~AND~ Iron Man 838 variant said to be a minor antagonist against the Avengers.
Twisted Metal - Firesprite is said to be the studio developing the next game, to coincide (somehow) with the release of the Peacock series starring Anthony Mackie. One job listing at the company explicitly is looking for a developer with experience in both vehicular combat AND on-foot combat. 
Metroid - With the Prime Remaster having been announced, the Rumor Mill is a buzz with talk for Metroid 4 being announced at the end of the year. Possibly for a 2025 release. As well as ports (remasters? remakes?) of MP 2 and 3.
