Before the official reveal of the new Overwatch content, ComicBook visited Blizzard Entertainment and got an early look at the new heroes. We played as them and learned about their gameplay, how they were created, and how they connect to the game’s overall story. These additions will significantly change Overwatch, both in how it plays and the characters players enjoy.
Before Blizzard officially revealed details about the upcoming Overwatch updates, ComicBook was invited to their California headquarters. We got a sneak peek at everything coming soon, and even had the chance to play all five of the new heroes. What impressed us most was how motivated the team is to make Overwatch even better, with changes that will keep the game fresh and exciting for both veteran and new players. Moving forward, the game will simply be known as Overwatch.
The main reason for this development is that Aegon is actually a Targaryen – a truth revealed in Episode 3. But the show also emphasizes that times have changed for the Targaryen family, and this is clear even before the big reveal. During the tourney, when Aerion acts cruelly by killing his opponent’s horse, the common people openly protest. They rush onto the field and even throw things at the prince, hilariously knocking his helmet visor down. While we’ve seen unrest in both House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones, this bold and direct attack on a royal demonstrates how much power the Targaryens have lost.
According to video game insider Nate the Hate, the popular action RPG Black Myth: Wukong is being developed for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The game was a massive hit when it launched on PC and PlayStation 5 in 2024, quickly becoming one of the best-selling games ever. It later came to Xbox Series X/S in 2025 and earned Game of the Year awards from several outlets. As of now, Black Myth: Wukong has sold over 25 million copies, making it a huge success story of the last ten years.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
It’s historically been very difficult to find high-quality toys based on live-action anime adaptations. However, the huge popularity of Netflix’s recent series has changed things, convincing toy companies that this adaptation is here to stay. The figures being produced feel durable and suggest the show—and its merchandise—will be around for a while.
The core of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is making each turtle feel unique and true to their personality while you play. Developer Cortopia AB clearly understands and appreciates the original source material, and that’s reflected in the game’s art style – not just within the game itself, but also in the promotional artwork. We at egmr.ru have had a sneak peek at this artwork, and it really emphasizes a key part of what makes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise so beloved and important to the game.
Kazue Kato, the creator of the Blue Exorcist manga, announced on social media that the series will be taking a four-month break. Kato is using this time to prepare for the manga’s upcoming conclusion. While it’s unclear if this means the end of the current story arc or the entire series, it seems a long-running and popular manga is nearing its end.
I was thrilled when Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier. The idea of a battle royale set in the beloved Final Fantasy VII universe – letting players battle it out in iconic locations with materia, summons, and quick action – seemed like a guaranteed success. Unfortunately, the game didn’t live up to its potential. Despite a promising start, it failed to satisfy players and was ultimately cancelled after less than a year.
Horror movies often have a clear path to making money, which can lead studios to rush production of sequels instead of focusing on a good story. When a successful horror film comes out, studios quickly try to turn it into a franchise. This often means hurried production and weak scripts. The desire to profit from a popular brand can water down the original idea, as filmmakers struggle to recreate what made the first movie special while meeting tight deadlines. As a result, many horror sequels disappoint fans by relying on clichés and illogical storylines instead of delivering genuine scares.
