Interest in the game likely began when the release date was revealed at last year’s Tokyo Game Show, but the first in a three-part video series definitely helped build excitement. That’s where we got a deeper look at the story, learning about the main character Kliff, his quest to bring the Greymanes back together, the mysterious Abyss, and those who want to control its power. Pearl Abyss also announced two additional playable characters who will explore the world of Pywel.

Hellbreak is a brand-new trading card game created through a partnership between Spin Master, Universal Products & Experiences, and the tabletop game designers at Ghost Galaxy.

Netflix is adding some fantastic movies in February 2026, building on its already extensive library. The full list of new releases is now available, and US viewers will find a great selection of films ready to stream. Several of these movies are considered modern classics, and they all share two things: high quality and recent availability on Netflix.

The true story of Highguard isn’t about its initial negative reception. It’s about how dedicated players are responding to the criticism and how the developers are listening. These early problems have sparked important discussions about what players want from ongoing, evolving shooter games, and the Highguard team is already making changes. As we’ve seen with games like No Man’s Sky and Cyberpunk 2077, a difficult launch doesn’t always mean a game will ultimately fail.

On February 3, 2026, Arc Games announced that Nicole de Boer will be returning to the world of Star Trek Online with the new Corruption update. The game, Star Trek Online, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) originally launched in 2010 by Cryptic Studios and has been consistently updated with fresh content over the years. De Boer will once again play Ezri Dax, the ninth host of the Dax symbiote, a character she originally portrayed following the death of Jadzia Dax (played by Terry Farrell) in the final episode of Season 6 of Deep Space Nine.

I find watching these kinds of shows late at night to be a bit of a gamble – either a bold move or a sign I should probably be doing something else with my life. They really get under your skin, with a way of lingering in your thoughts long after they’re over. It’s not usually the ghosts or creatures that bother me, but how fragile the human mind seems when pushed to its limits, especially when the animation feels like it’s looking right at you.

Big, planned changes in DC stories often backfire spectacularly. The characters seem unable to avoid interfering, even when things are clearly best left alone. Often, being a hero isn’t about making the right choice, but about demonstrating that they can control a situation, even if it’s a mistake.

This is especially true in the Marvel Universe, where vampires are a recurring danger. Once, a massive vampire army almost defeated the X-Men. In the 2010 X-Men storyline “Curse of the Mutants,” Xarus, Dracula’s son, launched a full-scale attack on the mutant city of Utopia, aiming to destroy all mutants. He even turned Jubilee and Wolverine into vampires and surrounded the city. Facing overwhelming odds, Cyclops had to come up with a brilliant and unusual plan to save his people. Knowing vampires are vulnerable to holy water, he realized the X-Men had a mutant, Iceman, who was essentially made of water.

This expansive open-world game has already garnered over 2 million wishlists across all platforms, demonstrating significant player interest since its announcement.

Originally scheduled for June 12, 2025, the release was first pushed back to fall 2025, but ultimately didn’t happen as planned. The game is also expected to be available on consoles at a later time.
