While the new Marvel movie Brand New Day will likely be the biggest Spider-Man news, there are other projects coming soon. In 2026, you can expect the Spider-Noir TV show on Prime Video (which isn’t connected to the main Marvel Cinematic Universe) and the second season of the animated Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man on Disney+. This will be the first time ever that three Spider-Man projects – movies or shows – starring Spider-Man himself all come out in one year (excluding other Marvel films from Sony that don’t feature Spider-Man). It also marks the first time we’ll see both a live-action Spider-Man movie and a TV series released in the same year.

A new anime series based on the classic manga Fist of the North Star is coming soon! Celebrating the anime’s 40th anniversary, the show will be available to stream worldwide exclusively on Prime Video. Prime Video has announced this as one of their biggest anime acquisitions of the year.

There are many reasons why Hank Pym isn’t as popular as some other heroes, but it largely comes down to his past. He’s unfortunately remembered for a time when he abused his wife, the Wasp, and that incident has significantly damaged his reputation. However, it’s easy to overlook just how crucial he is to the history of the Marvel Universe. While many fans prefer the Wasp – and with good reason, as she’s a fantastic character – Pym’s contributions to the team are often forgotten. Marvel hasn’t forgotten, though, and in the 1990s, they published a story dedicated to him, showcasing his importance: The Last Avengers Story, written by Peter David and illustrated by Ariel Olivetti.

This creature is a key part of the story in Stranger Things, and considering its importance, you’d expect it to be truly frightening for the final showdown. However, what we actually saw felt weaker and less intimidating. While the finale had impressive visuals and showed the characters working together, when it comes to creating real fear, the creators might have been better off revisiting what they did in Season 2.

According to Insider Gaming’s Mike Straw, the game is still being developed and a reveal is possible in April. This aligns with a previous report from insider shinobi602, who correctly predicted the game wouldn’t be shown at State of Play and indicated a reveal was coming soon. A release date has reportedly been targeted, but it remains to be seen if the game will actually launch next year.

At a celebration of the game’s 10th anniversary, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno explained that Layers of Fear was a pivotal title for the studio, helping them define their identity and the types of games they wanted to make. He stated they wanted to celebrate the game’s history and demonstrate that Layers of Fear continues to be developed and remain frightening for players.

To run this game, you’ll need at least an Intel Core i5-9600K processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. For a smoother experience, we recommend an Intel Core i5-10500, 16 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 1650. A solid-state drive is highly recommended for optimal performance. Regardless of your setup, you’ll need 34 GB of free hard drive space to install the game.

I’ve been following a cool side project for Bleach fans called The Stories. It’s been re-releasing older episodes alongside interviews with the voice actors, reflecting on their experiences with the show. It feels like a big build-up to the final arc coming this summer! They just announced the next update will focus on the Soul Society Arc, and to celebrate, they released a new poster featuring Ichigo Kurosaki – you can check it out below.

The game Allumeria borrowed ideas from Minecraft, but offered its own distinct, low-fidelity style and gameplay. However, Microsoft initially had it removed from Steam, claiming copyright infringement. Ultimately, Microsoft decided not to pursue legal action, which could be a positive turning point for independent game developers in the future.

David Chase’s groundbreaking show, The Sopranos, originally aired from 1999 to 2007, delivering 86 memorable episodes. While every episode has its strengths, we’ve chosen seven that truly showcase what made the series special. These episodes highlight the show’s innovative direction, complex plots, and willingness to take risks – qualities that prove The Sopranos remains unmatched by any HBO series.

Please be aware that the following contains spoilers for The Sopranos.
