Games

Only two new games were revealed this week, but the newest PS Plus Essential offerings are now available.

Our big sale is ending soon – January 8th, 2026, to be exact. Don’t miss out – check out the deals now before it’s over!

The new PlayStation 5 game from Kojima Productions – intended to be a spiritual successor to the Metal Gear Solid franchise – revealed its first concept art last year. The studio has been hiring more staff to support development of this large-scale project, and Sony Pictures Entertainment is also collaborating on it.

Sony’s latest PlayStation can play games originally made for the PS4. While you can buy the racing game from LucasArts – first released on the PlayStation 2 – digitally through the PlayStation Store, having the physical disc is beneficial because it won’t receive automatic updates.

HBO Max kicked off the new year with a bunch of new shows and movies on January 1st, and they’re adding even more over the next few days. Don’t miss the return of the popular series The Pitt on January 8th, followed by the fourth season of Industry, premiering on January 11th.

Two exciting board games are coming soon: Glass Cannon Unplugged and Apex Legends: The Board Game. Apex Legends: The Board Game brings the fast-paced action of the popular video game to the tabletop. It’s a competitive miniatures game where 2 to 6 players choose from six iconic characters – Bangalore, Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Pathfinder, and Wraith – and use their special abilities and quick thinking to win. We’re eager to try it out when it releases on January 9th!

Many popular anime shows fall into the action-packed ‘battle shonen’ category, but anime offers a much wider range of genres. Recently, Comic Book highlighted 10 anime perfect for newcomers, but that’s just the beginning! There are tons of amazing series out there. We’ve put together another list of 10 fantastic, shorter anime – from futuristic adventures to sweet, everyday stories – that both new and experienced anime fans will enjoy.

The add-on will contain the following content:

The popular series following Luffy will likely conclude within a few years, and before it does, all outstanding questions about the story’s past and present will be answered. The unexpected production delays last year caused concern among fans, but were understandable considering the high quality of the animation, which is challenging to produce consistently on a weekly basis. Fortunately, 2026 promises a return to regular episodes, along with many exciting new developments, surprises, and updates for fans to enjoy.

The Simurians weren’t looking for a fight either, so both sides initially attempted to find a way to live together peacefully. Unfortunately, a series of miscommunications and a rash action by a sorcerer named Nakamura destroyed any hope of an alliance. After Nakamura fatally shot Cross, the Jujutsu world fell into further chaos because of the threat posed by Dabura. Dabura proposed a duel with one of their sorcerers to resolve the conflict. With the adults unable to compete, Yuka was forced to represent them. Despite being at a significant disadvantage, Yuka might have stood a better chance if she had possessed Rika’s ring, a gift from her grandfather.
