Today, League of Legends is a huge franchise, expanding beyond the original game into comics, TV shows, and even different ways to play within the same world. I’m particularly excited about these new options. While I still enjoy the classic League of Legends, seeing the competitive scene at PAX East 2026 made me realize I was more drawn to 2XKO, especially as a fighting game fan. But then, just hours later, I met with Jon Moormann, a designer from Riftbound—League of Legends’ new collectible card game. I was immediately captivated, and I’m eagerly awaiting the release of Riftbound: Unleashed.

Nintendo recently released its financial report covering sales up to March 31, 2026. Notably absent from the data was Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, suggesting it hasn’t yet sold one million copies. Considering how quickly other Nintendo games reach that milestone, this indicates Metroid Prime 4 hasn’t been a strong performer, particularly given its lengthy and expensive development.

Nintendo, just like other companies that make gaming consoles, has faced a lot of pressure to keep the price of its systems consistent.

The CPU and RAM needs haven’t changed, but the recommended graphics cards have. For a great experience, you’ll need at least an RTX 4070 or Radeon RX 7800 XT. If you’re aiming for the highest settings, an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX is recommended. To max out the game at 4K resolution with Ultra settings, you’ll need a Core i5-13600K or Ryzen 7 7700X processor, an RTX 5080 graphics card, and 32 GB of RAM.

The popular series Doctor Who quickly transitioned to film, with Peter Cushing taking on the role of “Dr. Who.” Daleks’ Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. presented an exciting story of the Doctor venturing into the near future and finding Earth under attack by the Daleks. The film marked the first Doctor Who appearance of Bernard Cribbins, who later became known for playing Wilf, Donna Noble’s grandfather, in the show’s modern revival. Interestingly, the film also spawned a surprising and unusual collectible item.

The promotional campaign for the new Harry Potter series is gaining momentum. The first trailer has given fans a good look at the actors playing the main characters: Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter, Alastair Stout as Ron Weasley, and Arabella Stanton as Hermione Granger. Well-known actors John Lithgow, Paapa Essiedu, and Janet McTeer will portray beloved Hogwarts figures like Dumbledore, Snape, and Professor McGonagall. HBO has announced the series will premiere on Christmas Day 2026 – a fitting date for the magical show.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producer Dario Scardapane revealed the show is now addressing a storyline issue that originated in the first season. He explained that the original ‘Muse’ plotline didn’t feel fully developed due to limitations in what was filmed and available footage. Scardapane admitted they were constrained by budget and time, and felt the ‘Muse’ storyline deserved more weight.

When the final episode of The Amazing Digital Circus arrives in theaters on June 4th, fans will be able to purchase special merchandise. Participating theaters will offer a unique popcorn bucket and souvenir cup, both designed with love by the character Daddy Bubble. Quantities are limited, so be sure to check with your local cinema for availability. You can preview the cup and bucket designs below.

Right now, the Nintendo Switch 2 costs $449.99. However, starting September 1, 2026, the price will increase to $499.99 in the United States—a $50 jump. Nintendo says this is due to changing market conditions. You can still find it for $449.99 on Amazon, so there’s still a chance to buy it at the current price, but not for much longer.

The launch trailer also showcases the diverse landscapes and cars players will experience in Japan. You’ll race along streets lined with cherry blossoms, across the Rainbow Bridge into Tokyo, and through snowy mountains. The ultimate aim is to become a Horizon Legend by collecting wristbands through festival events.
