It appears that the unveiling of Naughty Dog’s new game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has not been met with enthusiasm by PlayStation fans. This is evident in the fact that the reveal trailer on both the PlayStation YouTube channel and Naughty Dog YouTube channel has garnered more dislikes than likes. Additionally, comments have been disabled on the Naughty Dog version, while the PlayStation version has been flooded with criticism and negative feedback.

2025 is shaping up to be a great year for Pokémon Go fans like me, as we’ve just learned that the first Community Day of the new year will feature Sprigatito! If you’re wondering what the December event could be, it might follow the pattern set this past weekend and serve as a make-up event. That means we’ve got 10 more Pokémon up for grabs to receive the Community Day treatment next year!

Although My Hero Academia officially concluded its run in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine this Summer due to Deku and the other heroes defeating All For One and Tomura Shigaraki, the creator has reintroduced Izuku Midoriya’s most ominous (and stylish) persona with some exclusive artwork. With the TV series also preparing for its conclusion next year, it won’t be long before this franchise bids farewell in both comic and animated forms.

Starting in early 2025, several notable games from both PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 will be removed from the PlayStation Plus library. While Sony regularly introduces new titles to its game catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers each month, these additions often come with some games being phased out as well. As we approach January 2025, it’s clear which PS Plus games will no longer be available on the subscription service.

James Gunn’s Superman trailer has set the Internet on fire and like all big comic book movie releases, the opinions about this first teaser were far from unanimous. One of the biggest criticisms of Gunn’s take on Superman and his world was that that world was overpopulated with other characters from the DC Universe franchise. The Superman trailer gave us looks at Guy Gardner/Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Mister Terrific, The Authority’s Engineer, and Metamorpho – each connected to other corners of the DCU that will be explored in future projects.

Over the past few years, The Simpsons has dared to push boundaries and innovate, and the most evident proof of this is the recent event of another character’s demise in Season 36. The last couple of seasons of this long-running animated comedy have raised the stakes for Homer Simpson and Springfield as a whole, leading to some tangible outcomes. In the previous season, The Simpsons took the risk of extinguishing a character that has been present since day one, to explore new storytelling avenues. This season has further upped the ante by taking away another beloved character from the past in the latest episode.
