The latest issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (#13) shocked fans by revealing Splinter was the one behind the Ujigami mask. Now, the story focuses on explaining why Splinter did this and what his goals are, and it delivers on that promise. Writer Gene Luen Yang doesn’t stop there, though; he adds depth by showing how each of the Turtles reacts to the news, and ends with a surprising twist that completely changes where the story is headed.

The game is already popular on computers, with reports of up to 3 million people playing at the same time. But will it be released on PlayStation 5?

GameFile reports that Bobby Kotick has officially denied the claims made against him through his legal team. They state that the lawsuit filed by Sjunde AP-Fonden is actually an attempt to damage Activision and benefit Embracer Group.

On January 14th, players started noticing that the 3.0 update for Animal Crossing was available. My game didn’t update automatically, but I was able to download it through the game’s settings menu. Once installed, I could immediately start playing the updated Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, the Switch 2 version is still expected to launch on January 15th. As of now, it’s still listed as a pre-order in the Nintendo eShop, meaning Switch 2 players might have to wait until then to enjoy the new features and mouse controls.

The game starts with two challenging missions. First, you’ll learn the ropes by taking apart a massive golem from the inside. Then, you’ll experience a mission shown in recent gameplay – infiltrating The Wall. Cyanide Studio says this is just a preview, but it aims to give players a good feel for the game’s freedom and overall atmosphere.

The emotional impact of Raccoon City’s fate became a recurring theme in every subsequent Resident Evil game. Even for the survivors you battle alongside, the city wasn’t truly destroyed – it just transformed, appearing in terrifying legends, eerie swamps, and the tense, quiet moments between fighting zombies. It haunted the background, a constant presence even as players fought to survive.

What sets Code Vein apart is that it didn’t simply apply an anime style to the established Soulslike formula, as seen in 2025’s AI Limit. Instead, it fundamentally reimagined core genre concepts through a strong narrative focus. The game prioritizes relationships with companions, offers a highly customizable character build system, and integrates story elements directly into gameplay, allowing players to connect with both the characters and the world through dialogue and cutscenes, not just through item descriptions. With a sequel, Code Vein II, on the horizon and other anime-inspired Soulslike games emerging, it’s worth revisiting what made the original Code Vein so unique. While AI Limit was a personal favorite of mine in 2025 (ranking at number 10), it adhered more closely to traditional Soulslike conventions. Code Vein* remains a standout title in the genre, and it’s worth examining what made it special when it first released.

Darrah feels that Anthem negatively impacted those who worked on it, affecting both their careers and well-being. He also points out that BioWare has struggled to move past the game’s troubled launch. “I don’t think I, or many others, fully recovered from the experience,” he admitted.
