Square Enix recently released a stylish new trailer offering a glimpse of what to expect from the game, especially for those who haven’t played it yet – and that’s understandable, considering how long it’s been available! It’s the second highest-rated game in the series for good reason. We think its biggest strength is how it revitalized a well-known story with new depth and complexity.
Fans have been eager for a third season of Solo Leveling ever since the second season finished last year, and now there’s some positive news. According to Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini, the team is currently “actively working” on the anime’s future. While a new season isn’t confirmed yet, Purini hinted that an announcement about what’s next for Solo Leveling could be coming soon.
There are two main threads to the Backrooms web series: Standalone encounters that different people have with being “clipped out” of reality and falling into the mysterious realm, where they must escape and/or survive. The other is a serialized story arc that chronicles the Async Research Institute’s explorations into the Backrooms, and the corporate espionage invovled with it. While the Async lore does help widen the scope of the Backrooms movie, it also makes some of the videos harder to understand. But here are 5 chapters of the Backrooms web series that will definitely satisfy you just like the movie did, ranked by how scary they are.
As a lifelong fan of Doctor Who, I was genuinely excited to hear about the upcoming auction of Dale Brotherton’s incredible collection. Sadly, Dale passed away earlier this year at the young age of 54, but his decades of collecting are now going under the hammer at Anderson House in Westerhope, Newcastle, starting June 10th at 10am. The highlight? A full-size replica of Bessie, the Doctor’s iconic road vehicle, complete with the registration “WHO 244”! Auctioneer Hamish Trower described it perfectly – it’s a collection that just keeps revealing more treasures the deeper you dive in. For any Doctor Who enthusiast, this is an absolute must-see – and potentially, a chance to own a piece of television history.
With so many different Batman stories over the last fifty years, it’s not surprising that some animated versions have been quite different from the serious, detective-like Batman fans know from the comics. But different doesn’t always mean bad – some of these unusual takes on the Dark Knight have still managed to win over audiences despite being a little quirky.
DC Comics has a history of experimenting with its characters, but unfortunately, some stories haven’t lived up to their potential. In a few cases, they’ve mishandled beloved heroes and villains, resulting in comics that serve more as examples of what not to do than as compelling narratives. Here are ten DC comics that didn’t do justice to their iconic characters, significantly diminishing their impact.
It’s a bit of a bummer to realize it’s been eight years since Upgrade came out. As a huge fan of sci-fi and thrillers, I remember being immediately hooked by Leigh Whannell’s cyberpunk vision and Logan Marshall-Green’s performance. The film felt so fresh and built a world I was genuinely excited to see more of. It got great reviews, and considering Whannell’s background with successful franchises, I really thought it would launch something big. Sadly, it was a one-off, and honestly, if things had gone a little differently, we’d probably be anticipating Upgrade 3 or 4 right now.
The hosts of this week’s Insider Gaming podcast think we might see Star Wars Jedi 3 revealed soon, possibly at Summer Game Fest, PlayStation’s State of Play event, or the Xbox Games Showcase. Considering the four-year gap between Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, a similar timeline would suggest the third game could arrive in 2027 if development follows a similar pattern. While there’s no confirmation yet, the timing makes sense.
Stories about a villainous Superman are common – we see it in characters like Ultraman and Homelander. Considering how powerful Superman already is, it’s easy to imagine how destructive he could be if he lost his moral compass, as demonstrated in stories like Injustice. But while an evil Superman is frightening, one hero is far more terrifying when he turns bad: Reed Richards. An evil Reed Richards is uniquely monstrous.
Dotemu and Triskell Interactive’s new game, Theos: City of Myths, is an exciting addition to the strategy genre. It offers accessible gameplay and appealing graphics, making it seem simple at first, but it actually has surprising depth.

By adding a unique ‘godly upgrade’ system to city building, Theos: City of Myths could quickly become a favorite among strategy game players.
