Collections like Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection let players revisit the series’ roots and see the characters from the original arcade games. The 3D era of Mortal Kombat – with games like Deception, Deadly Alliance, and Armageddon – introduced a lot more fighters. In fact, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon boasts the biggest character roster ever, with 62 fighters total, including some lesser-known faces that even longtime fans might not recognize in newer games.

Batman has managed to keep his identities separate lately, which is fortunate because Bruce Wayne has been trying to get close to Dr. Annika Zeller, a new doctor at Arkham Towers. He’s hoping to learn more about her potentially dangerous “Crown of Storms” project. The recent issue of Batman comic shows their clumsy first date, complete with an unexpected visit from Robin. And in a surprising turn of events, Robin accidentally reveals something that could expose Batman’s secret identity.

Whether they’re otherworldly beings from outer space or powerful, mysterious gods, these are some of the oldest and most legendary heroes in the Marvel universe.

A recent update to the PC and Steam versions of the classic game Quake now includes official support for the Steam Deck. This means the game runs smoothly on the Steam Deck from beginning to end, automatically optimized for its controls and screen – players don’t need to adjust any settings themselves. Valve has confirmed this improved compatibility.

A recent update to Sega’s official website celebrating Persona’s 30th anniversary hinted at a reveal of the franchise’s “next chapter,” spotted by user @ScrambledFaz on X. While Atlus hasn’t confirmed anything, many fans believe this is a tease for Persona 6. It’s possible the “next chapter” refers to something else, but a new mainline Persona game seems like the most probable announcement.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

Collins-Laflamme recently announced that pre-orders for Hytale have been so successful that the development studio has secured funding for the next two years. He also emphasized his dedication to the game, stating that both pre-order numbers and his continued involvement ensure a bright future for Hytale.

Despite rumors, Stranger Things didn’t have a secret extra episode. The show concluded with the final episode as planned. However, Netflix surprised fans today with a new documentary called One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5. While the documentary covers the entire season, it includes some unexpected insights. The creators share details about why the finale didn’t fully satisfy some viewers – apparently, the ending wasn’t finalized when production began.

The final season of the show received so much negative feedback that fans started a petition on Change.org asking HBO to redo it with different writers. The petition quickly gained nearly two million signatures, but a remake never happened – and Kit Harington found the idea frustrating. In an interview with The New York Times while promoting Season 4 of Industry, Harington defended the show’s creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, pointing out all the effort they had put into the series.

The anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica is once again available on Netflix. After being removed for several years, it’s been added back just in time for fans to rewatch it before the highly anticipated new movie releases – a project that’s been in the works for almost 15 years.
