The anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica is once again available on Netflix. After being removed for several years, it’s been added back just in time for fans to rewatch it before the highly anticipated new movie releases – a project that’s been in the works for almost 15 years.
Fans were really excited when Ubisoft first announced Skull and Bones in 2017. But after a long development process, the game launched in 2024 to disappointing reviews. Even with several updates, it still has a ‘Mixed’ rating on Steam, leaving many players hoping for a truly great pirate game. Now, the recent gameplay trailer for Sea of Remnants suggests a potential new option that could finally deliver the swashbuckling pirate experience players have been waiting for.
Croakmaws, like most creatures in the game, appear in specific locations consistently. They can be challenging to defeat, particularly when you first start playing with weaker equipment, but with the right strategy, you can reliably hunt them without getting defeated.
The developers discussed how defeating the Staglord will require players to time their dodges and attacks carefully to avoid its strong attacks. Because it’s so large, traditional grappling techniques won’t be effective, forcing players to adapt. The Queen Stoneback Crab will present a different challenge, demanding that players use their surroundings to overcome its tough armor.
Kate Mulgrew, known for her role in Star Trek: Voyager, recently shared hopeful news about the possibility of a Janeway spin-off, a project many believed was cancelled. While speaking with TrekMovie at an event for the new Starfleet Academy series, Mulgrew explained that she didn’t feel the initial idea for the spin-off quite worked. However, she revealed she’s currently in discussions with Alex Kurtzman about revisiting the concept. Mulgrew emphasized that any new series needs to capture the optimistic and adventurous spirit of Star Trek, saying she’s only interested if it’s a truly excellent story.
A sequel manga to the original series, created by Mashima and illustrated by Atsuo Ueda, is currently being published on Kodansha’s Magazine Platform. An anime adaptation by J.C. Staff aired in 2024, but a second season hasn’t been announced yet. While the original series was animated by A-1 Pictures and highly praised, this sequel anime received criticism for its animation quality and there’s been no news about continuing the anime. However, fans have reason to be excited as the manga celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, with several new projects planned.
A big part of promoting The Super Mario Bros. Movie focused on the appearance of Donkey Kong, voiced by Seth Rogen. While he didn’t show up until later in the film, DK became an important character and even formed a friendship with Mario and his friends. This led many fans to believe he’d be back for the sequel, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but unfortunately, it appears that won’t happen.
In a recent interview on the Power of X podcast, renowned X-Men writer Chris Claremont suggested that Famke Janssen, who played Jean Grey, might make an appearance.
I’m so excited! Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo just announced Nioh 3, and it’s coming out on February 5th, 2026! It’s great news that it won’t be a PlayStation 5 exclusive – we PC gamers will get to play it too. Sadly, it looks like Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch 2 fans will have to sit this one out.
