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.

The reboot of Quantum Leap, created by Steven Lilien and Bryan Wynbrandt, arrived on Netflix in August, but it won’t be there for long. The show is leaving the platform on February 14th. Starring Raymond Lee as Dr. Ben Song, the series continues the story of the original Quantum Leap, which aired on NBC from 1989 to 1993 and starred Scott Bakula. 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.

You can now play Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands for free on Amazon Luna, formerly known as Prime Gaming. This 2022 spin-off of the Borderlands series keeps the popular loot and shooting gameplay, but sets it in a fantasy tabletop role-playing game world. To access it, you’ll need an active Amazon Prime subscription. With tens of millions of Prime members worldwide, many people can enjoy the game at no extra cost.

I’m realizing my enthusiasm for gaming is fading again. It’s not that I don’t enjoy games anymore, but fewer and fewer of them truly satisfy me. While stuck with nothing to do, I’ve been thinking about games that have pulled me out of similar funks before. The last time I really needed it, a game called Sable (from 2021) completely reignited my passion – it wasn’t just fun, it felt deeply fulfilling.

Whether you enjoy darkly funny shows inspired by real people, fantastical time-travel adventures, or anything in between, historical television offers fantastic storytelling. If you’re looking for something new after watching Bridgerton, or just want a quality period drama that isn’t a Shondaland romance, here are five shows to check out.

While promoting their new thriller, Crime 101, Chris Hemsworth jokingly addressed the idea of a crossover with Halle Berry’s Storm, dismissing any potential rivalry. He actually expressed regret that Berry wasn’t in his film, Doomsday, and playfully invited her to join future projects, saying, “Everyone wants you in it… You’ve gotta come and just hang out with us. You’ve got to accept it. I’m inviting you.”
