The science fiction role-playing game, which had a somewhat mixed response when it first came out, is now quickly climbing the pre-order charts on the PlayStation Store.

Cryo Archive is a challenging map designed for teams of players who have reached level 25 and finished the introductory missions for each of the game’s factions. To enter, your team’s equipment must be worth at least 5,000 Credits. Bungie provides a free starter kit with basic gear to help you get acquainted with the map’s enemies, but this is a one-time offer, so use it wisely.

Arrow Video has just announced that you can now pre-order the complete Stranger Things series on Blu-ray and 4K! The 25-disc set comes out on July 28th, and there are two versions available: a standard edition and a deluxe edition. The deluxe version is packed with extras, including a Palace Arcade coin, a Hellfire Club patch and d20, 25 collectible art cards, posters, a map of Hawkins, and a 148-page art book filled with behind-the-scenes concept art and storyboards. You can see more details in Arrow’s announcement video below.

Take the Titans, for example. They’re popular heroes, but it feels like they’re stuck repeating the same stories. They keep fighting the same villains and dealing with the same relationship problems. While it’s understandable that things stay consistent, the Titans comics have felt creatively stale for a while now, and many fans agree. That’s why DC is bringing in new creative teams as part of their ‘Next Level’ initiative, and this relaunch of the series seems to acknowledge the need for a fresh direction.

Mark your calendars! Vampire Crawlers is set to release on April 21, 2026 for the following systems:

Compared to that, Death Stranding reached a high of 32,515 players at the same time. The Director’s Cut, released in March 2022, peaked at 22,080 concurrent players. Since these numbers were achieved during the week, Death Stranding 2 could potentially do even better, which is fantastic news for Kojima Productions.

Unlike some movies, Project Hail Mary wraps up its story completely by the time the credits start. While there’s always room for more stories in the future, the film doesn’t leave any major plot points unresolved, needing a post-credits scene to explain them or hint at a sequel. If you’re seeing the movie now or reading this before you do, there is something after the credits, but it’s brief – don’t expect a full scene. Be warned: spoilers ahead!

I was completely captivated by Project Hail Mary, and it reminded me so much of The Martian – both films really lean into the science of it all. In The Martian, it was all about Matt Damon’s character, Mark Watney, using his intelligence to simply survive. But Project Hail Mary takes that to a whole new level! The stakes are unbelievably high – the fate of billions rests on Ryan Gosling’s character, Ryland Grace, figuring out a way to save everyone. The movie is based on a really dense book, over 475 pages, and they packed it all into just under two and a half hours, so things move fast. It doesn’t explain everything to you, so if you left the theater feeling a little lost, or just want a clearer understanding of what happened, be warned: spoilers for Project Hail Mary are coming up next.

Here are five RPG series where everything was downhill after that first game.

Even after eight years since its release, Samus’s return to consoles with Super Metroid is considered one of Nintendo’s greatest achievements. This action-adventure game not only revolutionized its genre but also featured some of the most iconic boss battles ever created. Super Metroid was so influential that it sparked an entire subgenre of games and helped lay the groundwork for modern open-world game design. Thirty-two years later, it remains a timeless classic and a truly groundbreaking title that changed gaming forever.
