As a seasoned gamer diving into the world of Borderlands 4, I’m thrilled to hear that one of the beloved features from previous games is making a comeback. For those who’ve been on this wild ride since Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Borderlands 2, or even the original Borderlands, you’ll recognize it right away. But for newcomers, this feature might not ring a bell until they dive into the chaotic, over-the-top post-apocalyptic looter shooter that is Borderlands.

Souls-like games seldom provide adjustable difficulty levels, which is a distinctive trait of the genre, and it appears that’s the approach developer Neople took with their upcoming action RPG, The First Berserker: Khazan. However, prior to its release, the developer has maintained that the game won’t include difficulty options. Yet, there’s a possibility that the original plan might have been adjusted.

To many anime enthusiasts, the name “TOHO” may evoke several memories, given its involvement in numerous well-loved anime series from studios such as TMS Entertainment, OLM, and Studio Ghibli. Lately, TOHO expanded its reach by acquiring Science SARU, a studio established by Masaaki Yuasa and Eunyoung Choi, whose works include the hit series Dandadan, Devilman Crybaby, and Ping Pong. As 2024 winds down, it appears that Science SARU is making even bigger strides in the anime industry.

After a long period of anticipation, it appears that Masters of the Universe is finally set to make its way onto the big screen, with reality drawing nearer as four key roles have been filled. As per a recent update from Deadline, Jared Leto (famous for his role in House of Gucci) has officially secured the part of He-Man’s arch-nemesis and mastermind villain Skeletor, while Sam C. Wilson (House of the Dragon) will portray Trap Jaw. Hafthor Bjornsson (The Northman) is set to play Goat Man, and Kojo Attah (In The Grey) has been cast as Tri-Klops.

The PlayStation 5 Pro can play any PS5 game, however, only a limited number of these games are optimized for the PS5 Pro, meaning they’ve been fine-tuned with the PS5 Pro’s enhancements in mind. Sony has suggested that more games will leverage these upgrades as the console is incorporated into development processes over time. While it may take some time before all 2025 games take advantage of these improvements, none of the major releases next year – which are also early adopters for the new year – will be left out.

In the upcoming Marvel saga, Spider-Man will face off against an unconventional alien hunter, dubbed Skinner, in a heated showdown set during a sweltering blackout in New York City. Previously seen clashing with Wolverine and Black Panther, this new Predator series, comprising four issues, brings Skinner into the limelight. As described on Marvel’s website by writer Benjamin Percy, Skinner is a rogue Yautja warrior with no allegiance to any code or clan, making him an ideal terrifying adversary for the kind-hearted Peter Parker. The series, adorned with artwork by Marcelo Ferreira and slated for release on April 23, 2025, chronicles Spider-Man’s efforts to maintain order in a city grappling with escalating temperatures and tensions.
