These TV shows exceeded expectations and gained a large following, despite being based on existing stories. While they’re adapted from other works, they often take a different approach. Ultimately, staying true to the source material and creating a great show are separate goals.
We’re discussing Red Dead Redemption 2, a Western game that remains popular even though it was released almost eight years ago. While Red Dead Online started as a multiplayer addition, it was successful enough to become its own game and even received updates as recently as last year.
Giant Skull was working on an unannounced Dungeons & Dragons game, which would have been their first project. However, Hasbro recently canceled it. According to reports, Wizards of the Coast decided the game, which was still in its early stages, wasn’t the right fit for the D&D brand. While the cancellation seems amicable, it does raise concerns about the future of D&D video games.
This week, Nightdive Studios announced that the classic game System Shock 2 is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. First released in 1999, System Shock 2 was a groundbreaking first-person action RPG that significantly influenced the genre. It even inspired popular franchises like BioShock and Dishonored, as well as many indie games. Even though it’s almost 30 years old, System Shock 2 remains a beloved and important RPG in gaming history.
It’s understandable why there’s so much talk about Star Wars. The franchise has faced challenges since the release of The Rise of Skywalker in 2019, and Lucasfilm has been trying to find its footing with TV shows instead of new movies. While shows like The Mandalorian and Grogu have had some success, and others like The Acolyte faced cancellation, fan reactions have been very divided. This has led to a lot of discussion, especially online, and it’s left many wondering: how is Star Wars actually doing?

This new lineup includes both familiar faces and exciting new members, creating a unique Titans team. We’re going to rank the current team by their power levels.

Square Enix first released Final Fantasy: Type-0 on the PlayStation Portable in 2011, and then re-released it as Final Fantasy: Type-0 HD for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One four years later. I didn’t play the original PSP version, but I immediately loved the game’s quick combat, its story focused on war, and its interesting group of characters, Class Zero. Even after all these years, it’s still one of the most overlooked Final Fantasy games, which makes it even more disappointing that we’ve never gotten a sequel. Square Enix has revisited many of its spin-off titles, but Final Fantasy: Type-0 stands out as a particularly strong world that deserves to be explored in another game.
As a huge Star Wars fan, I was really excited to hear Marvel’s announcement on Tuesday: Boba Fett is coming back in a new comic series, Star Wars: Book of Boba Fett! It’s a seven-issue adaptation of the Disney+ show, written by Rodney Barnes and illustrated by Will Sliney. It kicks off this September, and it sounds like it’s going to explore what happens after Boba escaped the Sarlacc Pit and took over Jabba the Hutt’s criminal empire. The big question, according to Marvel, is whether he can actually maintain control of Tatooine and keep things running smoothly.
Spider-Noir is one of the earliest stories in the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline. Marketed as taking place after World War I, with key characters being veterans of the war, it would actually precede even Captain America and Agent Carter if it followed the main timeline. While parts of Eternals and Eyes of Wakanda are set before WWI, Spider-Noir still represents a very early point in the expanded MCU history. The series is specifically set in 1932, fifteen years after the war, making it several years before the first Avengers appeared.

This comes as support for Destiny 2 winds down and Bungie’s latest game, Marathon, has received a lukewarm response. With plans for a Destiny 3 reportedly scrapped, players are understandably concerned about the future of the studio.
