Elizabeth Olsen recently told The Playlist she’s very pleased with Wanda Maximoff’s story arc so far, but doesn’t know if she’ll reprise the role. When asked about returning for the Russo brothers’ planned Avengers: Doomsday film in 2026, Olsen said she’s hopeful. She enjoys playing Wanda and believes the character’s journey has been well-developed, but currently has no information about when or how she might return.

Watching the live-action adaptation, I was really surprised by how they handled Monkey D. Garp. In the original anime and manga, he doesn’t become a big player until much later – you don’t even find out he’s Luffy’s grandfather until episode 314! But the show brought him in early, making him a key figure constantly after Luffy. It definitely split the fanbase, and now that a character with a similar role is coming up in season two, a lot of us are worried we’ll see that same ‘chase’ dynamic all over again.

Currently known as Death Stranding Isolations, the series will be available to stream on Disney+ starting in 2027.

However, Yazan Aldehayyat from Valve assured customers that the hardware would be affordably priced, offering a good value compared to building a PC with comparable capabilities.

The question arose because of Valve’s experience with virtual reality, starting with the Valve Index and followed quickly by the impressive game Half-Life: Alyx, which demonstrated what the headset could do. Valve also has a habit of releasing new software, often a set of smaller games, alongside its new hardware.

Tom Felton, best known for playing Draco Malfoy in all eight Harry Potter films, has returned to the Wizarding World! He recently joined the Broadway cast of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and made his first appearance as Draco Malfoy in 14 years this week. The audience at the Lyric Theater in New York gave him a long and enthusiastic standing ovation before he even spoke his first line – a request to Harry Potter: “I need a favor.” The warm reception proves how much fans still love the movies and the actors, bringing back many fond memories.

This update adjusts the game’s difficulty by changing how many enemies you encounter, speeding up stamina recovery, and decreasing damage from attacks. Here’s a breakdown of the changes, as detailed in the patch notes, and they apply to all difficulty levels unless specifically noted:

It’s great that this new technology works with existing devices like the Steam Deck. However, how will it be distributed? Everything is scheduled for release in early 2026, and Valve is managing the distribution again. Given the past difficulties getting a Steam Deck – particularly with shipping to different parts of the world – potential delays are a concern.

A new Casual mode has been added to Silent Hill f, making the game even easier than the existing Story mode. Players can start a new game in Casual mode, or switch to it during a playthrough from the Game Over screen if they’re already playing on Story difficulty or higher.

Following news of a Game Boy Advance game making a comeback, developer Headless Chicken and publisher Limited Run Games have announced the Snow Bros Collection for modern platforms. This collection features three versions of the classic Snow Bros game: the original, an expanded version called Snow Bros.: Nick & Tom, and a special version created for the Game Boy, Snow Bros. Jr. While it’s technically three games, it’s essentially one game with different variations. The sequel, Snow Bros. 2: With New Elves, isn’t included, but it was never released outside of arcades, so its omission isn’t unexpected.
