According to Variety, the movie Practical Magic will now be released on September 11, 2026. This change impacts the DC Universe schedule, as Practical Magic is taking the place of the previously planned Clayface movie. Clayface was originally set to come out on September 11th, but it’s now being moved to October 23rd. While a release date change is usually unwelcome, the new October date is actually a better fit for the Clayface film than its original September premiere.

February is shaping up to be another difficult month for new manga series. It looks like Shonen Jump+ is ending The Bateren Tales by Yu Miki, a promising but lesser-known series that began in October and has released 11 chapters. The author announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the manga will pause before starting its final story arc.

Okay, so remember Bomberman? It was huge back in the 90s, but hasn’t really made a splash lately. Well, Konami just dropped a perfect collection for us nostalgic fans! It’s called Super Bomberman Collection, and they announced and released it all on the same day for Switch, Switch 2, PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. You can grab it on Steam, the Nintendo eShop, PlayStation Store, or Xbox Store for just $20. And for that price, you get a ton of games! It includes Super Bomberman through Super Bomberman 5, plus the original NES Bomberman and Bomberman II. Basically, it’s got all the classics!

The anime adaptation of a popular novel, which first came out in 2016, quickly became a huge success when it was released two years later. This year celebrates the anime’s 10th anniversary, though only three seasons have aired so far. A fourth season is scheduled for release in April 2026. Recently, the author confirmed on X that the story is now entering its second half. While it’s uncertain if this second half will be as lengthy as the first, fans can expect the story to continue for several years.

In a recent interview with Empire, actor Nicholas Galitzine discussed the challenges of playing He-Man, particularly building the character’s famously muscular physique. He admitted the task was incredibly daunting, noting that even the animated version of He-Man had proportions that would rival Arnold Schwarzenegger. Galitzine had only four to five months to get into shape for the role, which he described as the most physically demanding thing he’s ever done.

The upcoming game, Karma, will not only retell the original story but also add new scenes to expand upon it. Players will experience Sung Jinwoo’s journey back in time, where he spent 27 years fighting to prevent the appearance of dangerous gates and save countless lives. Despite his selfless sacrifice succeeding in saving the world – though going unnoticed by the public – the game’s release has been delayed. Originally planned for this year, Netmarble now expects Karma to launch in the second half of 2026, with a specific date yet to be announced.

It’s easy to see why so many online shooting games fade into obscurity. From hidden gems to outright failures, these games are often abandoned quickly – almost as fast as PlayStation cancels its ongoing service titles. This happened with Evolve, a surprisingly innovative game that created a new style of gameplay, only to be quickly discontinued and forgotten. I think it’s time Evolve finally gets the appreciation it deserves for its unique approach.

Jun Esaka’s novel, with illustrations by Sayaka Suwa, is being adapted into an anime that will premiere on July 5th, 2026. The official One Piece X account announced the release date and shared a beautiful image featuring Nami surrounded by a crowd, with Robin standing beside her. While a trailer hasn’t been released yet, fans can likely expect one during the Spring 2026 anime season.

This new version picks up thirty years after Dr. Sam Beckett disappeared. The cast also includes Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, Nanrisa Lee, and Ernie Hudson.
