The Switch 2 is sold on the strength of Mario and Pokémon; PS5 is all about GTA and Call of Duty.

Hajime Komoto’s Mashle: Magic and Muscles quickly transitioned from a popular manga to a hit anime. The anime adaptation launched shortly after the manga concluded in 2023, and its second season went viral in 2024, largely due to its catchy opening theme. A third season is already planned for 2027, and a new preview has just been released showcasing a key villain who will appear in the upcoming episodes. You can see it below.

The upcoming ‘Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Exhibition: DIVE INTO THE BO-BOBO WORLD’ will be held in Japan this September and October. It will first appear in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, and then return in Osaka beginning January 8th, 2027, running until January 24th. Similar to other anime events, this exhibition is currently exclusive to Japan, but it demonstrates the continued popularity of the uniquely strange ‘Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo’ anime. A first look at the exhibit’s poster is available below.

He’s currently a major draw on streaming platforms, particularly on HBO Max, where he has three films currently trending, according to FlixPatrol. Globally, his 2025 sequel, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, is the third most popular movie. In the United States, he’s doing even better: his 2020 disaster film, Greenland, is second, and the recently added sequel, Greenland 2: Migration, has quickly risen to the top spot.

So, what do the sales numbers actually look like? The company’s recent financial report is interesting because it reveals some surprising data.

It’s a shame when even fantastic science fiction shows get canceled. Fortunately, a cancellation doesn’t always ruin a good series, and many remain popular even after they’ve ended. The shows listed below all share this: they were all canceled, they’re still worth watching, and the good news is you can currently stream them for free on various platforms.

Okay, so The Boys is going to have a pretty unique ending. I heard the finale won’t just be on Prime Video – they’re actually releasing it in theaters on May 19th, a day before it streams! It’s similar to what Netflix did with Stranger Things. But here’s the thing that’s got me thinking: that release date is exactly the same day Game of Thrones ended back in 2019. A little spooky, right? The show even had a character drop a “Winter is coming” line recently! Still, I’m trying not to read too much into it and hoping for a fantastic conclusion.

Hotels are starting to offer dedicated gaming rooms – and they’re going beyond just a console hooked up to a TV. These rooms feature high-end equipment like fast monitors, comfortable gaming chairs, super-fast internet, and soundproofing for an immersive experience.

The latest installment in the Dark Pictures series, Directive 8020, is now available. Developed by the creators of Until Dawn and The Quarry – Supermassive Games – this interactive horror game takes the series to space for the first time, appearing on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Publisher Bandai Namco calls it a sci-fi survival horror experience inspired by ‘The Thing.’ It builds on the Dark Pictures format with new features like real-time dangers, stealth gameplay, and a ‘Turning Points’ system that lets players rewind and change decisions. Initial reviews are generally mixed-to-positive, praising the game’s immersive atmosphere but noting some inconsistencies in its overall execution.

I’m super hyped for the new mode dropping in September! They’re even including a story mission where we get to break out of Arkham Asylum – that sounds awesome. Plus, a lot of the cool stuff from the Deluxe Edition is available right away, like the Legacy Collection. That pack has seven outfits, five Batcave decorations, and even the Batmobile from the original Arkham games, which I totally loved. It’s like getting a little piece of those classics in this new game!
