Indicated previously, Capcom has three highly anticipated games creating a lot of excitement for the brand. Of these, only one has a fixed release date, while the rest are planned for 2026. If all these titles are successful, Capcom could experience exceptional growth, potentially marking one of its most prosperous years in its extensive history.
For an extended period, the Five Elders have carried out Imu’s clandestine tasks, causing immeasurable harm to numerous lives along the way. Characters beloved by fans like Robin and Kuma have suffered greatly due to the actions of the Elders. Unremorseful in their pursuit of what they deemed right for the World Government, they have consistently disregarded the well-being of those underfoot. In recent manga chapters, including Chapter 1157, there are hints that the Five Elders could be involved in the demise of Rocks D. Xebec, potentially even more than just his death.
Drawing inspiration from video game series Darkstalkers, the storyline primarily focuses on an ongoing conflict between supernatural beings. The dark side is led by Dimitri, a powerful vampire lord, who carries out devastating campaigns under the orders of his malevolent master, Pyron, a formidable cosmic threat. Standing against him are the Night Warriors and their human companion, serving as the last bastion defending humanity from Pyron’s evil forces.
As a dedicated Pokémon fan, I’m thrilled about the upcoming game, Legends: Z-A. With its captivating setting and intriguing narrative, it seems that Mega Evolutions for various Pokémon will take center stage. Some exciting new additions to this roster include Mega Meganium and Mega Zygarde, both of which have been teased in the latest leaks (courtesy of ResetEra). I can hardly wait to see these powerful forms in action!
2024 saw the official termination of the show, immediately following the conclusion of its second season. The reason for this? Once again, the familiar problem: low viewership against high production expenses. Despite boasting a solid, continuous script and leaving some compelling cliffhangers in its wake, the ratings of the reboot couldn’t match those of other NBC shows. This was the critical factor; even though the network acknowledged the show’s quality, it wasn’t deemed strong enough to persist due to softer performance compared to other programs on their lineup. It’s disheartening as this scenario exemplifies how traditional television often treats its investments: a show must either experience skyrocketing ratings from the outset or fail to make an impact – it’s game over.
In a panel, it was revealed that Lucasfilm intends to collaborate with Japanese studios for the third season of Star Wars: Visions. According to Waugh, this decision comes from the desire to capture anime’s distinctive cultural perspective and its unique storytelling. The upcoming season is described as a collection, or “mixtape,” showcasing both familiar stories from the first season as well as new narratives. Notable episodes such as “The Ninth Jedi,” “The Duel,” and “The Village Bride” will have sequels in Season 3. Interestingly, “The Ninth Jedi” is being developed into a separate mini-series. The premiere of Star Wars: Visions Season 3 on Disney+ is set for October 29th.
In the popular series, The Legend of Zelda, Princess Zelda serves as the central character, leading to humor and misunderstandings about Link being the primary hero. Contrary to her presence in every main title, she doesn’t appear in all games, with two instances where she is conspicuously absent.
It seems that the expansion of the Dexter franchise is being scaled back due to a recent merger between Paramount and Skydance. With fresh perspectives on board, they are re-evaluating all aspects of the company and devising new strategies to streamline operations and potentially reduce costs. Regrettably, it appears that the prequel series Dexter: Original Sin, which was initially given the go-ahead for Season 2 this year, has been canceled and will not proceed as planned. However, there’s a possibility that other Dexter shows may also be affected and face cancellation.
During an interview with ComicBook about his part in Peacemaker Season 2, actor David Denman revealed that his character’s superhero alias is Captain Triumph. Unlike the comics, where Captain Triumph has a rich history, James Gunn didn’t draw upon this when creating Captain Triumph for the show.
Regrettably, one popular cultural reference in the anime “Dandadan” has turned out to be problematic, leading to copyright infringement allegations. This issue stems from a scene in Season 2 that was intended as a tribute to the renowned Japanese rock band, X JAPAN. However, the Hayashi band from Season 2 has caused controversy due to its similarities with X JAPAN, particularly displeasing Yoshiki, the lead vocalist of X JAPAN. This has resulted in the anime’s producers issuing an apology and removing the iconic headbanger track associated with this scene from streaming platforms nationwide.
