Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island was first released in Japan on January 25, 2024, and then worldwide on February 27, 2024. It became available on PC through Steam on December 11, 2024.
Between October and December 2025, Sony shipped eight million PlayStation 5 consoles. This was 1.5 million fewer units than were shipped during the same three-month period in the previous year.
Everyone was really looking forward to seeing Homelander from The Boys join DC K.O.: Boss Battle #1, especially when it was announced he’d fight Superman. The idea of the ultimate hero battling a symbol of hate and power felt incredibly relevant and exciting. However, when the fight finally happened, it wasn’t as impactful or fulfilling as many readers hoped it would be.
If you’re enjoying the current direction of Star Trek, you’ll likely also enjoy the new 2024 series, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. While Starfleet Academy has a respectable 89% critic score and 43% audience score, Skeleton Crew is performing even better with 92% from critics and 79% from audiences. Although Skeleton Crew won’t be returning for a second season, it’s still worth watching to experience what the show has to offer.
Limiting the initial scope addresses a major worry: preventing Apple’s fantasy shows from repeating the later seasons of Game of Thrones. While Game of Thrones remains a hugely influential series, and the upcoming Sanderson adaptations can learn from it, the show’s quality declined as it went on. This happened because it eventually ran out of original book material to adapt, and that’s a risk Mistborn and The Stormlight Archive face as well.
Here is an overview of the update, via WSS playground:
While fans eagerly anticipate updates on the next Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire movie, they can now enjoy the original 1984 Ghostbusters and its 1989 sequel on Hulu. Both films, starring Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Harold Ramis as a team of quirky ghost hunters, became available on February 1st. Later this month, on February 16th, Ghostbusters: Afterlife will also be added to Hulu, making almost the entire Ghostbusters series available on the platform. The only Ghostbusters movie missing will be the 2016 reboot. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is also currently streaming on Hulu.
Disney is moving forward with its planned television adaptation of Christopher Paolini’s bestselling Inheritance Cycle novels, starting with Eragon. The project was first announced in 2022, and Variety reports that Todd Hartman and Todd Helbing will serve as co-showrunners. Marc Webb has also joined as an executive producer, working alongside Bert Salke.
The newest edition of Shonen Jump features the first chapter of Kinato’s Magic by Kento Amemiya. This release is particularly interesting because it’s Amemiya’s second attempt at a major series after a previous one was cancelled. Kinato’s Magic feels very different in style and ambition compared to his earlier work. It’s an action-packed fantasy adventure, and it seems to be exactly the kind of series Shonen Jump has been searching for.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the show, aren’t big fans of the first three seasons, feeling they lack the humor and maturity of later episodes. They especially point to Season 2 as being the weakest link. Interestingly, they stepped back from much of the writing during that season and later wished they hadn’t. Despite this, Season 2 is still a strong year overall, particularly for those who enjoy a bit of nostalgia, with simple but fun stories and wonderfully strange characters. It’s also the longest season, with 18 episodes – but which one stands out as the best?
