The game’s recent update is a major reason for its improved success. The April update introduced cross-platform play, which allows players on different systems to play together, as well as VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) support for smoother gameplay. It also added two-on-two combat in supported games and the option to choose stages in online matches. While the stage selection and two-on-two modes are welcome additions, cross-platform play and VRR are particularly significant. Many similar games already offer cross-platform play – Mortal Kombat 1 didn’t have it at launch and suffered because of it. Without it, it’s difficult to play with friends and find matches quickly.

According to reliable leaker Dusk Golem, a remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica is very likely to be announced next month at Summer Game Fest. This event, hosted by Geoff Keighley, starts on June 5th and will showcase upcoming games. While Dusk Golem isn’t completely sure, they believe Summer Game Fest is the most probable place for this announcement to happen.

YouTuber xJ0nathon recently shared that initial tests, conducted on April 30th, 2026, were very poor. While the release is currently planned for later this year, he believes there’s a strong possibility it will be delayed or scrapped altogether.

Here is an overview of the game, via Kakehashi Games:

The PC version of Saturday AM: Battle Manga will be released on Steam, though a specific date hasn’t been set yet.

The manga series Seraph of the End, created by Takaya Kagami, Yamato Yamamoto, and Daisuke Furuya, is nearing its conclusion. After 14 years of publication in Shueisha’s Jump SQ magazine, the authors are currently working on the final volume of chapters. Writer Takaya Kagami announced the news in Volume 36, recently released in Japan, and shared a message with fans stating, “Whether I cry or laugh, the next volume is the last.” (The announcement was first noted by @animeupdates on X.)

As a huge fan of the MonsterVerse, I’ve always wondered what makes Skull Island so special. The novel for Kong: Skull Island suggested it might be a piece of the Hollow Earth that somehow surfaced, bringing its strange creatures and environment with it. There was even a little hint in the credits of Monarch Season 2 that the island actually dips back into the Hollow Earth sometimes, though we didn’t know why. But finally, the Season 2 finale of Monarch gives us the answer – it all makes sense now!

I was reading a Polygon interview with the folks at Housemarque – Gregory Louden, the creative director, and Matti Häkli, an associate designer. They talked about how they really wanted Returnal‘s difficulty, which they call ‘Saros’, to be something players could tackle however they wanted. They also built the roguelike elements to be a bit more forgiving, especially over many runs, so you’d stay hooked for the long haul. It’s cool to hear they were thinking about keeping things engaging over time!

Let’s move on to some news about the popular Netflix thriller, The Night Agent. Filming has begun on season four, but this will be the show’s final season. While some viewers might think Netflix cancelled the show, creator Shawn Ryan explained that he always intended to end it after a satisfying run for its dedicated fans. So, while it’s sad to see the show go, the ending was always the plan.

There’s still no news about a potential Bully remake or re-release, but Rockstar Games recently posted a job listing that suggests they might be planning to revisit some of their older titles. The listing is for a Senior Gameplay Programmer, and while that’s not unusual, the description mentions working with ‘classic game technology’ on a small team, hinting at a remaster or re-release project.
