10) Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song

As a huge fan of MLB The Show, I was so excited to see the new trailer for the mobile version! It’s awesome that Sony is bringing the game to our phones after the massive success of MLB The Show 26 on consoles in March.

The film quickly became a hit after appearing on Netflix, racking up 1.5 million views in under a week. Its growing popularity worldwide is especially surprising given the limited promotion outside of Japan. According to Oricon, the award-winning anime is still playing in Japanese cinemas months after its release and continues to draw audiences. It has already earned over 800 million yen and shows no signs of slowing down. While it had a limited theatrical run internationally, the film is currently available for streaming on Netflix globally.

I’ve been following this anime, and even though the ending hinted at more to come, the studio hasn’t given us any concrete details about a continuation yet. To keep fans engaged while we wait, they’re celebrating the show’s 10th anniversary with a new website and several announced projects. Good news though – they just confirmed that the second season of Bungo Stray Dogs Wan! will premiere in July 2026 as part of the summer season. It’s been five years since the first season came out in 2021, and while we’re excited for the spin-off, everyone is really hoping to hear about the continuation of the main story soon.

Play by Play Studios, founded by former EA Big employee Mike Young, announced that their 3-on-3 arcade basketball game, NBA The Run, will be released in June. The game takes inspiration from popular titles like NBA Street and NBA Jam.

I’ve noticed a trend with anime: the ones that really keep you hooked and are easy to binge-watch usually aren’t super long. Whether they’re short enough to finish in a weekend or fall in the 50-90 episode range, they just feel less intimidating to start. Of course, there are exceptions – some longer anime, like really great fantasy series or stories that develop beautifully over time, manage to stay engaging throughout all 100+ episodes.

Earlier this year, we showed you a video of Andy Nguyen’s project where he successfully ran the game Grand Theft Auto 5 with improved ray tracing graphics at a smooth 60 frames per second using the Ubuntu operating system.

Taking on the role of Johnny Cage definitely comes with a lot of expectations, as he’s a fan favorite in the Mortal Kombat series. Actor Karl Urban explained that this became apparent right away when he shared the news with his sons.

We don’t know the exact date Bandai Namco submitted Tales of Eternia Remastered for a PEGI rating, but they recently did. Bandai Namco routinely publishes these ratings, so the leak ultimately falls on them. This leak not only confirms the remaster is happening, but also suggests an announcement and release are coming soon. PEGI typically rates games shortly before release, although remasters are sometimes submitted a little earlier for administrative reasons.

The very first version of the Guardians of the Galaxy actually had ten members, and they weren’t all equally powerful. If you enjoy the Guardians movies directed by James Gunn, it’s worth exploring the comics to discover the team that started it all.
