At Jump Festa 2026, it was announced that a second season of the anime Blue Box will premiere on Netflix in fall 2026. A new promotional image was revealed, and the official anime account has since shared another, building excitement for the upcoming season. The teaser suggests that winter and the holiday season will play a significant role in the story.
2024 promises several highly anticipated blockbuster games, including the much-awaited Grand Theft Auto 6 and Witchbrook, a competitor to Hogwarts Legacy, plus new entries in popular series. However, recent years have shown us that announced release dates aren’t always reliable. According to leaks and rumors, at least three of the biggest potential games for 2026 might be pushed back to a later date.
Recent Star Trek shows are making an effort to connect with the franchise’s history, and as Starfleet Academy continues to play a role in future storylines, this feels increasingly important – and difficult. Thankfully, we’ve seen subtle nods to the past, like references to Wesley Crusher and Harry Kim’s career advancement. A new clip released this week offered another throwback, bringing back the Mugato creature from the original Star Trek series.
Okay, so I’ve been checking out Towerborne, the new game from the team behind The Banner Saga. It’s a really cool mix of beat-’em-up action and RPG stuff. Basically, you play as an Ace, which is this immortal warrior protecting this huge tower called the Belfry from all sorts of monsters. The combat is super fast and feels really good, and there’s a ton of stuff you can do to upgrade your gear, learn new abilities, and customize your character’s build. It really encourages you to try out different things and find what works best for you. Plus, it’s built for co-op, so you can team up with friends!
Currently, Insomniac Games hasn’t officially announced Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. They’ve been focused on Marvel’s Wolverine, which is planned for release in late 2026. However, despite the lack of confirmation, rumors suggest they are also working on a third Spider-Man game to conclude the trilogy. It’s taking longer than many fans expected, especially since Insomniac usually releases these games every two to three years. It now seems likely that Spider-Man 3 won’t be available until the next PlayStation console is released.
The first trailers for Avengers: Doomsday are out, and fans are already making big guesses about the plot, carefully examining every little detail. It’s clear the trailers are working – they’ve created a lot of excitement for the movie, even though it’s still months away from release. Here’s a ranking of the four trailers, from least to most impressive.
The upcoming break between seasons will be the longest since the show’s revival, but there are understandable reasons for it. While a new season of the main show isn’t arriving until later, UK audiences recently enjoyed a new Doctor Who spinoff, The War Between the Land and the Sea, in December 2025. This spinoff, created and co-written by Russell T Davies, required a significant amount of his time and the BBC’s resources (it will be available internationally on Disney+ in 2026). Beyond that, the show is undergoing some big changes, and its long-term direction is still being decided.
The changes are mostly noticeable in the new opening and closing themes, which have unique details that take time to appreciate. Beyond that, there are subtler additions that aren’t immediately apparent, but once you recognize them, they enrich the experience and add depth.
Around the late 2000s, most shooter games focused on using cover to advance. I fondly remember spending hours playing Gears of War, where battles were less about running and gunning and more about carefully waiting for the right moment to attack. Where you positioned yourself was more important than how well you aimed. This style of gameplay heavily influenced a whole generation of shooters, but it’s become much less common now.
The financial drama Industry is back for its fourth season on January 11th at 9 p.m. on HBO and HBO Max. That’s a fast return after the third season ended in September 2024, quicker than most shows on HBO. The series follows young graduates as they start their careers at the competitive London investment bank, Pierpoint & Co. This season, the Pierpoint team gets caught up in a thrilling, international chase while also dealing with their personal lives – relationships, friendships, and everything in between. Starring Myha’la, Marisa Abela, Harry Lawtey, Sagar Radia, and Ken Leung, Season 4 will have eight episodes released weekly on Sundays.
