The current state of Pokémon is unfortunately quite poor. There’s a noticeable lack of fresh ideas, the games don’t run well even compared to other Switch titles, and the core turn-based combat feels outdated despite numerous attempts to mask it. The series should be thriving with modern technology, but it feels stuck in the past. To truly succeed, Pokémon needs a complete overhaul, and that starts with moving beyond the Nintendo Switch.
From the start, the series has been praised for staying true to George R.R. Martin’s book, which showrunner Ira Parker made a key focus. While The Hedge Knight presented several intriguing questions, a significant change from the original novel has reignited discussion about a potentially major shift in the established Game of Thrones storyline.
IO Interactive is partnering with MOOD Publishing to create Hitman: The Board Game, and early images look promising. The game’s most exciting feature is a competitive multiplayer mode inspired by Hitman 2 from 2018. However, unlike the original, this board game is designed entirely around that concept, challenging four players to compete as Hitmen, hunting targets to achieve victory.
Here is the full lineup of titles:
Popular anime series like Love Through a Prism and Cosmic Princess Kaguya have been big successes this year, and more new shows are planned for February 2026. While the February lineup is already generating excitement, the platform will release at least three more anime in March 2026. Streaming dates and confirmation of this information come from What’s on Netflix.
Okay, so as a huge Scream fan, I was really excited for Scream 7, especially when I heard Matthew Lillard was coming back as Stu Macher and Scott Foley as Roman Bridger. Everyone thought they were going to be the killers again! But honestly, it was a total twist. The movie ended up having three new Ghostfaces, and their plan was connected to some surprising parts of the Scream story – specifically, it tied back to a couple of sequels I didn’t realize were so important. It was a really clever way to expand the mythology!
Crunchyroll’s official website confirmed that the second season will be available this spring. The platform currently streams the third season, with new episodes released weekly. While Crunchyroll is the leading anime streaming service, it doesn’t have every anime title. For example, Oshi no Ko previously streamed exclusively on Hulu before becoming available on Crunchyroll. Seven episodes of the third season have been released so far, with the full season consisting of 11 episodes and concluding on March 25, 2026.
I remember when Weekly Shonen Jump (WSJ) first hit the stands in 1968. It quickly became the most popular manga magazine ever, publishing some truly iconic series that everyone knows – things like Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto. But over the years, a lot of great stories seemed to slip under the radar. One of those is Psyren by Toshiaki Iwashiro, which I always thought deserved more attention. Last December, we finally got news that an anime adaptation, made by Satelight, is coming out in 2026! While we wait, Manga Plus has put all the chapters online for fans to read before the anime premieres. You can also find all the chapters on Viz Media’s website, and they even have links if you want to buy the volumes as physical copies or digitally.
It’s rare for a fantasy show to stay consistently good throughout its entire run, but some truly stand out. If you want a fantasy series that’s excellent from start to finish, these are worth watching – they’re consistently engaging. Whether you’re drawn into the conflict between Piltover and Zaun or exploring different worlds with Lyra Belacqua, you can expect a consistently high-quality experience.
The news that Matthew Lillard would reprise his role in Scream 7 excited fans. While Scream often brings back familiar faces, Lillard’s character, Stu Macher, seemingly died in the original film – crushed by a television. Despite this, fans speculated about his possible survival, and Scream 7 acknowledges this theory. Ultimately, Stu’s return turns out to be a false alarm.
