I’m really loving how flexible the Gyldhunters are! It means you can build them in so many ways to take down some seriously cool enemies – and when I say cool, I mean thoughtfully designed. Each enemy has clear tells for their attacks, which is great because they hurt. Luckily, the parrying and dodging feels incredibly smooth and precise; honestly, it reminds me a lot of Sekiro, and that’s high praise!
Matthew Ball, Xbox’s chief strategy officer, recently clarified something on Twitter. He addressed unusual rumors suggesting Xbox might change its policy of having games exclusive to its consoles.
It wasn’t a surprise to see complaints about the free kit option. Many of you felt it wasn’t fair to those who worked hard to build everything themselves, as a true Raider should in this game’s harsh world.
Honestly, I was really surprised to hear that the team behind the game got laid off from Kwalee Labs. The CEO, Hollie Emery, announced it, saying it was something they couldn’t prevent. It’s a bummer for those nine talented people, especially with the job market being so shaky right now – you see what’s happening over at Xbox, it’s a bit scary!

Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy pioneered the now-standard episodic format for anime. Throughout his prolific career, he created over 700 manga titles, leaving a lasting impact on the industry. Recently, one of his lesser-known masterpieces, Princess Knight, is receiving renewed attention thanks to a Netflix film adaptation scheduled for release this August.
Soon after the manga finished, a final volume (number 38) and an official guidebook were announced for release in Japan on August 4th, 2026. It will likely take several months before these are available in English. According to @WSJ_manga, a trusted source for Shonen Jump news, the guidebook will feature a brand new 15-page chapter. While many fans hoped for an epilogue with the final volume of a popular series like Black Clover, that won’t be included here. What exactly this new chapter is about remains unknown – it’s unclear if it will serve as an epilogue or something else.
