The most recent significant update for Halo Infinite arrived in November 2025, and it was initially believed to be the final update the game would receive. However, a new Gauntlet mode was unexpectedly released in May 2026, even as development continued on Halo: Campaign Evolved and Xbox experienced changes in leadership. With Xbox also working on the Project Helix console and potentially a new Halo game, this addition has surprised many fans.
Puppetry is a unique art form requiring incredible skill and technical work to make something lifeless seem alive. Creature shops use detailed mechanics, like controlled limbs and materials such as foam and latex, to build puppets that physically interact with actors. This real-world connection creates a sense of weight and believability that’s often missing in digital effects, and allows these practical creations to remain impressive even years later.

The open-world superhero game Undefeated: Genesis, a sequel to the free-to-play Undefeated, was originally announced in 2023.

I’ve noticed that one of the coolest things about Bungo Stray Dogs is how its characters are named after famous Japanese authors and writers. It’s a really neat way to connect the series to literature! However, the creators have recently asked fans to be mindful when discussing these characters. They’ve pointed out that sometimes fans will say things that could be seen as disrespectful to the real authors, or to people who genuinely admire their work. They’ve put out a message asking everyone to be considerate and avoid language that could be hurtful, as a big part of the show’s goal is to introduce people to these writers and their legacies.

The heroes known as the Bat-Family are all exceptional, pushing beyond the limits of ordinary humans. Batgirl recently gained magical abilities, allowing her to manipulate her blood into various shapes. However, as of Batgirl (2024) #19, those powers have been removed. While she had them for three issues, this change is ultimately a good thing. Batgirl works best as a hero relying on her skills, and it’s common for characters like her to not have lasting superpowers.
Mortal Shell is a deliberately concise game and doesn’t try to feel bigger than it is. It’s clear from the start that it’s a relatively short experience. The game features a central area with just a few branching paths, and completing the first one gives you a good idea of how long it will take to finish. With a main hub and three additional stages, most players can expect to complete Mortal Shell in five to twelve hours, depending on their skill level. This makes it easily achievable to finish before it’s removed from PlayStation Plus Extra on May 19th.
