It’s hard to imagine enjoying Train Sim World 5 without Thomas and Friends. Interestingly enough, it wasn’t something we had previously envisioned, but the developers at Dovetail are planning to incorporate the Mattel franchise in the upcoming edition for the new year.
Caution: Contains plot details from the season finale of Dune: Prophecy. The phrase “sisterhood above all” didn’t resonate with Valya Harkonnen throughout the series. Right from the beginning of Dune: Prophecy, it was evident that Valya was highly ambitious and ready to go to any lengths to seize power. However, it wasn’t until the season finale that the extent of her plan to ascend to the rank of Reverend Mother became clear. While some viewers might have anticipated her lethal actions with The Voice, learning about the backing of other trusted sisters in her quest was a startling revelation for many. This was particularly shocking given the high number of lives sacrificed for this to occur.
2024 saw a wealth of impressive animated adaptations for comic enthusiasts, with both Marvel and DC properties spawning top-notch series. Existing shows like “What If…?” and “My Adventures With Superman” had new seasons, while fresh options such as “Creature Commandos” and “Batman: Caped Crusader” made their debut. Remarkably, the winner of this year’s Golden Issue Award lies in a unique category, being neither a completely new show nor a continuation of an old favorite. Instead, it managed to captivate viewers week after week with its blend of gripping action and dramatic storytelling.
The DC Studios animated series titled “Creature Commandos” unveils episodes sequentially, and this approach, as explained by James Gunn, holds a lot of logical reasoning behind it. This series marks the initial installment in Gunn’s expanding DC Universe under DC Studios, with the first two out of seven episodes being launched on December 2nd, followed by new episodes every week. According to Gunn himself, this release schedule is designed to keep “Creature Commandos” relevant in the public eye for a prolonged duration, as opposed to the binge-watching style popularized by platforms like Netflix.
The highly anticipated event in autumn, “Bleach’s Thousand-Year Blood War,” has undoubtedly been one of the year’s most significant anime happenings. As we approach 2024, it’s clear that this season finale will go out with a boom. In the third phase of the battle between Soul Society and the Quincies, one unexpected twist is Uryu Ishida aligning himself with Yhwach and his faction, the Wandenreich. Given their mutual Quincy lineage, this move isn’t entirely shocking, although many fans have been eagerly waiting for Ishida to reveal his loyalty to the Soul Reapers. Regrettably, the newest trailer seems to suggest that Uryu may have embraced the role of a villain.
Binary Haze’s game titled “Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist” is almost ready to leave its early access phase next month. This version will come with additional features and content. Regrettably, the progress made during the early access period won’t be transferred over as originally planned.
