Among the anime released in 2025, Clevatess truly distinguished itself with its unique dark fantasy action and adventure. Takopi’s Original Sin and The Summer Hikaru Died, both released that summer, also captivated viewers with their surprisingly dark themes. In fact, four out of the six nominated anime centered around darker storylines. Some used fantasy settings to explore these themes, while others presented them in a way that felt very real and raw. Ultimately, these anime demonstrate that darker, more complex stories were what audiences connected with most in 2025.

The biggest new feature in this free update is the addition of Free Lanes and Cruise Mode. Now, players can actually fly between planets within a star system, rather than just jumping from menu to menu. Bethesda explains that while in Cruise Mode, you can also do things on your ship like chat with crewmates, use crafting stations, and customize your vessel – the ship will even slow down automatically as you approach your destination. This is a big improvement because one of the main complaints about the game since it launched has been how tedious it is to travel, and this update is designed to make those journeys feel much more engaging.

Determined to save her, Gun-woo teams up with Choi Tae-ho, a debt collector who isn’t as violent, and Hong Woo-jin, a former marine. Together, they enter the brutal world of underground debt collection, learning a lot about themselves and how far they’ll go for family. The second season raises the stakes, as the trio now finds themselves targeted by an illegal boxing organization.

As a long-time gamer, I’ve seen a lot of series fade away when we don’t hear from them for a while. But the really big ones? They still get people talking, even after years of silence. We’re all hoping for a brand new game in those franchises, not just another remake or remaster of something we’ve already played. Honestly, the longer we wait, the more worried I get that we might not be getting anything new at all. It’s tough when there’s just no news!

Things changed a lot in the following years, especially after the first episode of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba aired on April 6, 2019. While the anime gradually gained fans, it took time for it to become truly popular. As the 2020s began, Demon Slayer exploded in popularity in a way that hasn’t been matched since. It became the first anime to go massively viral in the new decade, and its success was a complete surprise to everyone.
