We don’t want to influence your initial thoughts, but we expect the PlayStation Plus Essential games for April 2026 will likely be a mixed bag – some people will love them, and others won’t.

The DC Universe is just getting started, so many major characters like Batman and Wonder Woman haven’t been cast yet. Though the universe is growing with new shows like Lanterns and Clayface coming later this year, stories focused on Superman and his family are currently leading the way. James Gunn is already planning to use this momentum, which could allow David Corenswet to become the Superman actor with the most appearances.

Both Andy Serkis and Viggo Mortensen have confirmed Mortensen won’t be returning as Aragorn, leaving the studio to find a new actor for the iconic role. Reports suggest they’ve chosen Leo Woodall, known for his work in Vladimir, Nuremberg. The casting has sparked mixed reactions from fans. Some are unhappy with the choice, while others believe recasting is necessary for the new films to succeed, given the original cast members are now too old to reprise their parts. One fan expressed their initial hope for advanced de-aging technology, admitting they were torn between wanting the original cast to return and understanding the need for change.

It’s still surprising that CBS cancelled Watson after just two seasons. The show, created by Elementary’s Craig Sweeny, seemed to have a lot of potential. Watson followed the ongoing story of Dr. Watson, played by Morris Chestnut, after the death of Sherlock Holmes. Interestingly, the show began after Holmes’ death, though Matt Berry, known for What We Do in the Shadows, voiced Holmes in a single audio cameo in season one.

Hiromu Arakawa’s Daemons of the Shadow Realm is a highly anticipated new anime series debuting in Spring 2026. Crunchyroll has announced it will receive an English dub, and now they’ve confirmed the English dub episodes will be released on the same day as they air in Japan, starting with the premiere on April 4th. You can watch the English dub trailer below.

The recent Flashpoint update to the game has made custom loadouts a better choice than the standard free kits. Now, players who build their own loadouts are more likely to start on new servers. While some players have reported occasional issues with the feature, most dedicated fans are calling it the best improvement to the game since it launched. It’s important to note that the update only makes custom loadouts more likely to appear on fresh servers, not guaranteed, which aligns with the developers’ intentions.

On April 4th, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, Pokemon Go is holding a special Fashion Raid Day event. Though there aren’t any new costumes for Pokemon this time, it’s a fantastic chance to find Shiny versions. All 11 returning costumed Pokemon can be Shiny in Pokemon Go, making it a good opportunity to catch those that are rare. Plus, each costumed Pokemon appearing during the event will have an increased chance of being Shiny.

Let’s start with the new LEGO One Piece sets, which will let you build iconic scenes and battles from the second season of the live-action show. The sets include recreations like “Showdown with Captain Smoker,” “Dorry Vs. Brogy – Giants of Little Garden,” “Battle at Drum Castle,” and “Garp’s Marine Battleship.” Popular characters like Tony Tony Chopper, Dr. Hiriluk, and Dr. Kureha will also be available as LEGO figures. These new playsets join the existing One Piece and LEGO collaboration. While we don’t have a release date yet, these sets are expected to be a hit with fans of the series.
