Darkseid, having already secured his dominance in the future, started to manipulate events in the present. Luckily, the heroes had a narrow window of opportunity to compete in the Omega Tournament and claim the Heart of Apokolips. This powerful artifact would grant the winner the title of King Omega – a cosmic being comparable to Darkseid himself. While heroes and villains have been battling to protect their world, Darkseid’s plans are far more complex than anyone suspects. Even as the Omega Tournament concludes, he’s already plotting his next devastating move.

A new free game is available on Steam called Crowalt: Traces of the Lost Colony. Developed by Macraft Studios, this pixel art point-and-click adventure game was released in 2022 and is the studio’s first title. Early Steam reviews suggest it’s a pretty good game in its genre.

That leads us to another point of uncertainty: the Nintendo Switch 2 version. The developers haven’t said if it will come out at the same time as other versions or later, so we’ll just have to wait for more information.

Empire Magazine recently shared a detailed look at Rotta the Hutt – a character voiced by White – who appears in The Mandalorian & Grogu. They also released a new image showing Rotta armed with blade-like weapons and prepared for a fight in an arena.

Eevee is a hugely popular Pokémon, loved for its cute design and the many different forms it can evolve into, each with a unique type. However, the Pokémon Company hasn’t added a new Eeveelution since the Pokémon X and Pokémon Y games. That means four generations of Pokémon games have been released without a new Eevee evolution, and fans are eager for something new. The upcoming Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves games could be the perfect opportunity to give fans what they want and introduce fresh evolutions for this beloved Pokémon.

The Jurassic franchise saw a major comeback with Jurassic World, which many fans consider the best film since the very first movie. It successfully brought back the idea of a working dinosaur theme park, updating the special effects for today’s viewers while still highlighting the risks of playing with genetics. However, the sequels to Jurassic World weren’t as well-received, getting bogged down in complicated stories about human cloning and engineered insects. Despite these flaws, the Jurassic World films continue to be huge box office successes, mainly because good dinosaur movies are rare. It’s expensive for studios to create realistic dinosaurs, leading to a lack of impressive dinosaur films. Still, a few productions offer dinosaur stories that are just as good as, and sometimes even better than, the recent Jurassic World sequels.

Seth MacFarlane recently shared with The Hollywood Reporter that Season 4 of The Orville is already written, although coordinating everyone’s schedules for filming could be tricky. Now, Scott Grimes, who plays Lieutenant Gordon Malloy on the show (and Matty Bennet in Ted), has spoken to ComicBook about its potential return. He’s very optimistic, stating he’d immediately join the production if it were announced, and believes the show isn’t finished at all.

I was so blown away by this game! It actually won an award – the Games for Impact award at The Game Awards in December, which is awesome. You play as Hazel Flood, and the story really pulls you in when a huge hurricane hits her town, Prospero, and things get seriously strange and Southern Gothic. It’s a really powerful experience.

So, I just played Planet of Lana 2: Children of the Leaf, and it’s a really different experience from the first game. It starts with Lana filling me in on everything that happened before – apparently the planet actually has a name! Then, it jumps forward two years. Instead of a frantic run for your life, this one is more about exploring and figuring things out as Lana revisits familiar, broken-down areas. It’s a great way to get back into the platforming and puzzles, especially once you get control of Mui again. But it also throws in a lot more story moments with no text, letting the visuals do the talking, and really dives deeper into what the characters are discovering.

These seven characters from the Arrowverse closely mirrored their versions in the DC Comics universe.
