Our first big update is coming out on February 11th! It’s called the Valentine’s update and will include new character customization options like cosmetics and facial hair, as well as improved enemy loot and bug fixes. Later in the year, we’re planning to release two major downloadable content packs: Loose Cannon in the first half of 2026, and The Flower and the Flame in the second and third quarters.
A 47-year-old man in Japan was recently arrested by police in Karatsu for carrying knives in a way that resembled the popular anime character Roronoa Zoro from One Piece. Zoro is famous for fighting with three swords – one in each hand and one held in his mouth. The man, dubbed “real life Zoro,” was seen walking down the street carrying knives in a similar manner, but claims he was simply on his way to pick up vegetables from a friend. The publisher of One Piece, Shueisha, has not yet commented on the incident.
With Wonder Man leading the way, 2026 promises a lot of new and returning TV shows for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Several other projects are also in the works, meaning Marvel fans have plenty to anticipate after Wonder Man arrives.
According to Tommy Gustafsson, art director at Easy Trigger Games, OVERTIME feels quite different from the original Huntdown. They aimed to recreate the fast-paced, action-packed gunfights seen in classic and modern movies like John Wick. They achieved this by including a huge selection of weapons, cybernetic enhancements that change how you play, and a roguelite structure that encourages repeated playthroughs. The goal was to capture the cool, energetic vibe of 80s action films and provide players with a compelling reason to keep playing again and again.
Throughout the game world, you’ll find pieces of the Abyss. Studying these fragments will give you special items to improve your abilities. You’ll also journey into the Abyss – a collection of floating ruins – and use a versatile tool similar to the Ultrahand to help bring stability back to the land.
A Reddit user on the PlayStation Plus forum recently discovered that Life is Strange 2 is now completely free to play on PlayStation, even without a purchase. The user, who previously played the game through PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium, noticed the first episode was still listed in their library, along with all the DLC they’d purchased. This allows them to play the entire game for free, and other PlayStation Plus subscribers have confirmed they’re experiencing the same thing.
Even though the animation quality in One-Punch Man season 3 wasn’t great, it still proved popular with viewers worldwide. This, along with other shows, defined the most-watched anime of fall 2025 globally. However, the anime scene in Japan itself told a different story. According to PR Times, citing data from the streaming service ABEMA, none of these globally popular titles ranked in Japan’s top five. Instead, Japanese audiences preferred fantasy and ‘isekai’ (transported to another world) stories over the action-packed ‘shonen’ series that were popular internationally.
It’s frustrating that new hero shooter games keep making the same error: amazing multiplayer, but almost no effort put into a compelling single-player story. These games often have rich worlds and interesting characters, but we rarely get a chance to truly experience them outside of combat. I enjoy hero shooters, but I can only play the multiplayer modes for so long. It’s hard to really connect with the heroes when all we do is fight as them, rather than with them, through a dedicated story campaign.
