In 2025, established publishers still did well, but mobile game developers actually generated more overall revenue. One company, in particular, significantly outperformed all others, demonstrating that the industry’s shift towards mobile gaming is now a permanent trend.
As a critic, I’ve been diving deep into the DC K.O. tournament, and what’s fascinating is how most fighters fall back on familiar versions of themselves – like pulling Kingdom Come Wonder Woman or Warrior Guy Gardner into the arena. But the real stars are those who think outside the box! I’m here to spotlight the most powerful and interesting power-ups that really made the DC K.O. event legendary.
Many beloved New Year’s Eve episodes appear in classic TV shows – from comedies to dramas. While most center around parties, some have taken a different approach, making them truly memorable. However you plan to ring in 2026, these New Year’s specials offer a chance to revisit some of television’s most heartwarming and festive moments.
For the past seven years, a fun New Year’s Eve tradition has grown within fandoms: watching the movie Avengers: Infinity War. The goal is to time it so that Thanos’s snap – the moment he eliminates half of all life – happens right as the ball drops at midnight.
Kazuhisa Wada, a lead producer on the Persona series, recently told 4Gamer (via Gematsu) that we’ll learn more about Persona 4 Revival in 2026. Atlus has big plans for the year, which marks the 30th anniversary of the Persona franchise, and will be sharing updates on Persona 4 Revival alongside other celebratory events and promotions.
With so many actors potentially appearing in upcoming Marvel movies, including Avengers: Secret Wars, one rumor is gaining traction. Actress Kathryn Newton, who played Cassie Lang in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, recently shared a puzzling post on social media. If it wasn’t meant to mislead fans, it might hint at a significant, unannounced detail about Avengers: Doomsday and who will be in it.
Good news for fans! Starfleet Academy is acknowledging its history, and recent discoveries reveal some exciting updates. We already learned that Wesley Crusher is remembered as a Starfleet hero, and now we know Ensign Harry Kim from Voyager eventually rose through the ranks to become an Admiral. This is a surprising turn of events, considering the running gag about his lack of promotion in the original series. You can see the proof of his rank in the clip linked here.
Being a Green Lantern fan was incredibly exciting at the time. Hal Jordan, considered the best Green Lantern, was brought back to life and given a new comic series by DC’s top writer, Geoff Johns, alongside amazing artists like Ethan Van Sciver, Carlos Pacheco, and Ivan Reis. Fans also got a separate series focusing on Green Lanterns from across the universe. All of this built towards what many still consider the greatest Green Lantern story ever told: “The Sinestro Corps War.”
After a successful 2025 with popular releases like Thunderbolts and Daredevil: Born Again, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is heading in a positive direction. 2026 looks even brighter, with several beloved characters expected to return. Here are seven major MCU comebacks already confirmed for next year.
Consider Wario Land II as a prime example. Originally released on the Game Boy and only briefly available as a digital download (a download that’s now unavailable due to the closure of the Virtual Console and Nintendo eShop), Wario Land II is still one of Nintendo’s most imaginative platforming games. It introduced unique features and gameplay elements that set it apart from other games, and many of those innovations are still rarely seen today. Beyond simply wanting to play a childhood favorite again, I’m concerned that losing access to games like this could hinder the future development of video games as a whole.
