Now that the show is returning to Fox with new episodes, it’s a perfect time to revisit any seasons you may have missed.

Players eagerly awaiting the next big Metroidvania, potentially rivaling Silksong, should keep an eye on Emberbane. This pixel-art adventure has generated a lot of buzz by drawing inspiration from sources like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Devil May Cry, Celeste, and The Messenger.

With its powerful elemental abilities, exciting action, and immersive story, Emberbane could become a standout success in the Metroidvania world.

Let’s explore seven DC heroes who haven’t just been sidelined, but completely forgotten. These powerful characters have barely appeared in the last ten years – a surprising oversight given their potential. Since so many heroes fall into obscurity, we’re focusing on seven of the most powerful ones DC has seemingly written off.

The idea of combining Pokémon and pinball is experiencing a revival, largely thanks to Stern Pinball. The company has become well-known for creating innovative and engaging pinball machines, frequently featuring popular characters and reimagining their worlds in a classic arcade format. Later this year, they’re releasing their own version of Pokémon Pinball, which is exciting news for anyone who enjoyed the original Game Boy Color game that blended these two worlds.

These days, ‘Early Access’ covers a lot of different scenarios for games. Some, like Fields of Mistria, are quite polished when they first launch, with developers planning to add more features later. Others feel more like unfinished demos, full of bugs and missing content. This makes buying into Early Access a gamble for players. However, a bigger concern is that many Early Access games are never actually completed. A recent update to Steam tries to address this by pushing developers to be more open about their plans. It’s unclear, though, if that will be enough to regain players’ trust.

Mike Flanagan, known for his work on horror series like The Haunting of Hill House, will be writing and directing a new movie based on Stephen King’s The Mist, according to Deadline.

The popular underwater survival game Subnautica is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on February 17th, and it’s getting a significant upgrade.

A recent Marvel mini-series, Spirits of Violence, brought together Ghost Riders from across the globe to battle a new enemy: the Spirit of Violence. The story resurrected Danny Ketch’s sister, Barbara, turning her into a host for this powerful spirit. It also brought back Johnny Blaze’s wife, Roxanne, as the villain known as Black Rose. As the Ghost Riders united against this threat, Danny Ketch made a final, selfless act, sacrificing himself and holding his sister still so they could both be destroyed by the Blight Blade.

Fans were genuinely surprised by one particular direct-to-DVD sequel – it was remarkably good! Not only did it surpass the previous sequel in quality, but it cleverly reminded everyone what made the original film so special. The Lion King 1 1/2, released on DVD 22 years ago today – February 10, 2004 – was a hilarious addition to the series and a refreshing tribute to the beloved original.
