This year was packed with exciting LEGO releases! We saw incredible sets like the largest and most expensive Star Wars LEGO set ever created, a retro Game Boy replica, and a new Jack Sparrow pirate ship from Pirates of the Caribbean. LEGO launched around 1000 new sets in total, but we’ve picked out our favorites. Plus, buying directly from LEGO gets you bonus gifts and rewards points.
Bethesda has announced that a few memorable characters will appear in The Elder Scrolls 6, including the popular ‘Skyrim Grandma’ and some well-known figures from the Elder Scrolls community. This got me thinking – since the game will likely be set in a new location, but travel options like boats and magic will exist, which beloved NPCs from Skyrim would fans love to see make a cameo? Here are four fan favorites I’d like to see return in The Elder Scrolls 6, whenever it’s released.
A recent article on ScreenCrush tallied up all the Star Wars TV episodes released since 2019, when The Mandalorian first debuted on Disney+, and found a remarkable 196! That number has likely grown with the release of Season 3 of Young Jedi Adventures. The article raises an interesting point: with so much content already available, could the peak of Star Wars television be over? It’s a question many fans are starting to ask.
This version of Joker, found in the Absolute Universe, isn’t the street-level criminal most fans know. He’s reimagined as one of the world’s wealthiest individuals – so rich, in fact, that very few know his true identity. His wealth stems from his company, J.K. Holdings, which he uses to fund a network of private institutions called ‘Arks’ worldwide, with Ark M located in Gotham City. Until recently, details about this new Joker were scarce, but Absolute Batman #15 has revealed five previously unknown facts about this frightening take on the character.
Man, I’ve been waiting ages for a new BioShock! It’s been almost a decade since they first started working on it, and we found out about it back in 2019 with this new studio, Cloud Chamber. The buzz is that it’s going to be set in Antarctica, and maybe even feature people who escaped Rapture. Honestly, I thought we’d have it by now, but we haven’t even seen a single trailer or screenshot. It sounds like development hasn’t been smooth sailing – they had some big changes in leadership earlier this year, which apparently pushed the release back to late 2027, or even further! I’m still hoping for a glimpse of it soon.
Okay, so Record of Ragnarok definitely gets people talking – it’s a bit of a divisive show, I know! But honestly, it’s become such a huge deal for Netflix. It’s consistently one of their most-watched anime, and just a really popular show overall. That’s why it’s gotten a third season, and I was really happy to see it – it totally delivered and was worth the wait!
I’m a huge fan of Daichi Kawada’s Blooming Love, and like many others, I was totally surprised when the manga ended! It didn’t become a massive global phenomenon, but it has a really dedicated fanbase. The series concluded on December 2nd, 2025, and the final volume, Volume 7, is coming out soon! I saw the cover shared by @MangaMoguraRE – they’re always on top of things with anime and manga news. Volume 7 will be released in Japan on January 5th, 2026. Sadly, none of the volumes have been released in English yet, and we don’t know if or when they will be. But good news – you can read all the chapters right now on the Manga Plus app!
Gachiakuta has consistently been a compelling read, and the newest chapter is its best yet. The series has significantly developed Rudo’s character, with a visually impressive upgrade that also moves the story forward in a meaningful way. It’s a fantastic addition to the overall narrative.
That movie is Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, directed by Matt Bettinelli Olpin and Tyler Gillett—known as Radio Silence—who also directed Scream and Scream VI. They originally got the Scream job because their first Ready or Not was so successful, so this sequel feels like a fitting next step for these talented filmmakers.
Jaws: Retr Edition is a refreshed release of the classic 1987 Nintendo game, Jaws. The original game was created by Westone and published by ATLUS.
