Before Jurassic Park had a brief return to theaters in 2013, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was re-released in 2012 and earned $102 million. The idea was to bring all six Star Wars films back to cinemas, but that plan never materialized. Only The Phantom Menace—which was often considered the least popular film at the time—got a re-release. So why didn’t the other five films follow suit?
Rhys Elliott from Alinea Analytics highlights that Subnautica 2 from Unknown Worlds is highly anticipated, recently detailing its cooperative gameplay features. Despite a difficult development process, including legal issues with Krafton and the studio’s founders, the game has already received 3.8 million wishlists on platforms like Steam. While this level of interest isn’t unexpected – the original Subnautica and its sequel, Subnautica: Below Zero, were both major successes – Elliott points out that the game has been available for wishlisting since November 2024.
While earlier Mario Kart games existed, Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64 was the one that truly made the series famous.

The company has become well-known for creating innovative and engaging pinball machines, frequently featuring popular characters and reimagining their worlds in a classic arcade format.

These days, ‘Early Access’ covers a lot of different scenarios for games. Some, like Fields of Mistria, are quite polished when they first launch, with developers planning to add more features later.

However, a bigger concern is that many Early Access games are never actually completed. A recent update to Steam tries to address this by pushing developers to be more open about their plans. It’s unclear, though, if that will be enough to regain players’ trust.
