It’s become apparent that Yves Guillemot doesn’t seem to understand what’s happening within his company or how it affects his employees. The company is still focused on cutting costs, which includes layoffs. This is putting a lot of strain on our teams, who are already working with limited resources. After several years of either no raises or very small ones, employees are now expecting to receive no raise this year either.

Manga creator Takahashi launched a new series called Mao in 2019. Unlike her previous work, Inuyasha, Mao centers around a character who battles spirits instead of demons. The upcoming anime adaptation will be produced by the same studio behind Inuyasha, Sunrise. A new poster for the series has been released, along with news about the opening theme song. The song “HEATLOUD” by Kis-My-Ft2 will play during the opening credits. This isn’t the first time the boy band has contributed to anime; they’ve previously worked on Doraemon and Cardfight!! Vanguard. You can see the new poster below.

This week, the Epic Games Store is giving away two free games: The Darkside Detective: A Fumble in the Dark, which has a very positive 95% rating on Steam, and Nobody Wants to Die. Normally, The Darkside Detective costs $15, and Nobody Wants to Die costs $25.

I’m a huge fan of martial arts films, and it breaks my heart when some really fantastic ones get passed over. There are so many gems out there – classics, cult favorites, and even movies you wouldn’t necessarily categorize as martial arts right away. I’ve put together a list of seven that I think deserve way more attention. They really showcase the incredible variety within the genre, and I honestly think you’ll love them if you give them a chance!

We’ve had a chance to see several trailers for Pokemon Pokopia, and they’ve given us a basic idea of the game’s story and how it plays. Now that I’ve played the beginning of the game, I can share a bit more about the overall story and gameplay experience. I won’t reveal any spoilers, just give a general overview of what Pokemon Pokopia is about for anyone who’s still curious.

So, Kadokawa, the company that owns FromSoftware, just dropped their latest financial report. It’s mostly for investors, but they usually give us a peek at what’s coming up. And good news for Switch fans – it looks like The Duskbloods is still aiming for a 2026 release on the Switch 2! As a huge fan of Dark Souls and Elden Ring, I’m really excited to hear that the game is still on track. It’s great to know we’ll probably be getting another awesome game from them in the next couple of years.

The first trailer for Spider-Noir is here, and we now know when you can watch it! It will premiere in the US on MGM on May 25th, with all episodes available on Amazon Prime Video starting May 27th. You can find the trailer below. A unique feature of this series is that viewers can choose to watch in either black and white or color, depending on their preference.

I’m really excited about Horizon Hunters Gathering! It’s a co-op game where you team up with two friends to take on missions. Basically, we’ll be working together to fight off these dangerous machines that are causing trouble in the world. Sounds awesome, right?

Hordes of Hunger first launched in Early Access on May 6, 2025.

During the announcement, Kadokawa confirmed they haven’t announced a release date yet and don’t share sales predictions for specific games. However, the game will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2 and will be sold in partnership with Nintendo, varying by region.
