Shonen Jump is a very competitive magazine, and many new series are cancelled quickly – often before they even reach 20 chapters. Even after that initial period, a series is still at risk of cancellation for its entire first year. While any series can be cut at any time, fans are particularly concerned that Harukaze Mound and Otr of the Flame might end soon, despite having already surpassed the 20-chapter milestone.
Despite the long wait for the next book, The Winds of Winter, and the mixed reactions to the Game of Thrones finale, the A Song of Ice and Fire franchise remains popular. This is partly due to new shows like House of the Dragon and the upcoming Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. But mostly, it’s because the best parts of Game of Thrones were truly exceptional – a testament to the quality of the original source material, one book of which recently celebrated an anniversary.
Over the next few years, many exciting new tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) are expected to be released, each offering something different from Dungeons & Dragons. Some focus on giving players more control over the story, while others feature striking artwork or innovative approaches to battles and character development. We’re already seeing a growing number of new TTRPGs, like Daggerheart, and these four upcoming games could significantly change the landscape of tabletop gaming – whether you’re an experienced game master or just starting out.
While it might seem like pro tournaments are profitable, Harada explained in an interview with The Game Business that they actually don’t generate revenue for the fighting game communities they support.

Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 1 will be released on Netflix at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET on November 26th, 2025 (and at 1 am on the 27th for UK viewers), and consists of four episodes. This is a major departure from the streamer’s typical release strategy, where new movies and TV shows usually drop at midnight PT/3 am ET on the day of release, but then there’s not much typical about the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. This is, after all, Netflix’s flagship series, and it wants to make it a true holiday event. With more people at home for Thanksgiving, then the timing ensures they can watch it together either on the Wednesday evening before the day itself, or it’ll be there for the holiday.
Given the similarities, it makes sense that some of the creators of this game previously worked at Telltale Games. Telltale was known for its story-driven games, and one of their most popular, released on November 25, 2014, shares a lot of DNA with this new title.

If you enjoyed this game and are looking for something similar, Tales from the Borderlands is definitely worth playing.
Battlefield 6’s first season has already brought two new maps, game modes, and lots of content through in-game events and the battle pass. The biggest addition was the unexpected release of Battlefield REDSEC, a free-to-play experience that includes both a battle royale and traditional player-versus-player combat, offering the large-scale warfare Battlefield is known for. However, players were still missing classic modes like Conquest, Rush, and Breakthrough on the new maps… until now! You can now try these core modes for free.
