As a devoted fan, I’m deeply saddened to share that Hideo Kojima’s innovative blend of filmmaking and gaming, known as Physint, has unfortunately become a casualty in the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes that started in August 2024. These strikes are expected to persist into 2025. Despite his optimism about resuming casting this year, Kojima’s upcoming project OD, being developed for Xbox Game Studios, has also been impacted by these strikes.
Approaching swiftly is the debut of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, marking the tenth year since a Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four film last appeared in cinemas. The 2015 Fantastic Four, helmed by Josh Trank, remains notorious as a debacle that not even the star power of Michael B. Jordan could rescue. Shrouded in a dismal ambiance and lacking distinctive character traits, it also suffered from an abundance of underwhelming visual effects and is now universally regarded as a comic book movie flop.

In December, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 received a substantial update primarily aimed at enhancing its Player vs Environment (PvE) gameplay. Developer Saber Interactive hinted that those who enjoy Player vs Player (PvP) will receive updates in 2025.

As a passionate fan, I was thrilled to be part of the audience tuning into AEW Dynamite’s groundbreaking debut in 2025, an event that also marked its premiere on Max. But let me tell you, Fight for the Fallen offered more than just a first glimpse. In the third episode, some of AEW’s biggest names went head-to-head, vying for the top spot in the Casino Gauntlet. Among them were Swerve Strickland, Roderick Strong, and Jay White.
Unfortunately, Strickland’s journey came to an abrupt end when Ricochet, in a chilling display of his newfound villainy, eliminated him from contention. The turning point was a shocking moment where Ricochet, in cold blood, plunged a pair of scissors into Strickland’s head, heralding the start of a darker chapter for the charismatic wrestler. And that was just the beginning!
At The Game Awards 2024, Project Century was unveiled as a secretive game developed by RGG Studios, the accomplished team responsible for the Like a Dragon / Yakuza series. Details about the game are scant, with only its apparent historical Japanese setting in 1915 being disclosed. This lack of information has sparked much fan conjecture, but studio director Masayoshi Yokoyama has brushed off all speculation, stating that the trailer does not reveal any secrets.
