Neowiz announced this week that development of Lies of P 2 is officially underway. The game has moved past the planning stages – where the story, scope, and overall vision were established – and is now in full production. This means Neowiz will begin actively building the game they’ve designed, a process that will likely take a couple of years. This is a major milestone, indicating that Lies of P 2 is becoming a reality.
Lots of new manga series are competing for popularity, but some from the 2020s have already proven successful enough to run for multiple seasons. For example, Kagurabachi is getting an anime adaptation after just 100 chapters. However, Nue’s Exorcist, which has even more content, hasn’t received the same attention. It’s unclear why this is the case.
When Legendary Pokémon are allowed in competition, the game becomes much more powerful than standard play. While it hasn’t been officially announced, it’s likely future Pokémon Champions seasons will include formats where Legendary Pokémon are permitted, just like in previous competitive scenes. However, obtaining these powerful Pokémon can be difficult. Many are only available in older games, through downloadable content, or during special events. If Pokémon Champions follows this pattern, some players could be at a significant disadvantage before the competition even begins, simply because they don’t have access to these Pokémon.
If you enjoy playing fighting games by yourself and were hoping Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls on PS5 would have a deep story mode, you might be expecting something like the World Tour mode in Street Fighter 6 or the story found in Mortal Kombat 1.
In Star Trek, characters wearing red shirts are notorious for quickly becoming casualties. They often serve as expendable crew members who die early on to demonstrate the threat posed by new enemies. This trope is so well-known that it’s become a popular joke among fans. The comic series Star Trek: Red Shirts, published by IDW, directly addresses this phenomenon. The story follows a group of red-shirted crew members on a mission to uncover a spy, and as you might expect, they face constant danger and suffer many losses. Now, the entire five-issue series has been collected into a single graphic novel.
One of the best parts of seeing two big franchises team up is watching familiar characters deal with new situations, and the Sonic the Hedgehog X Godzilla comic does this really well. However, the real star of the show is Dr. Eggman – he’s fantastic in every scene! Combined with Jack Lawrence’s art and Reggie Graham’s colors, Eggman might be the best part of the entire comic. Sonic, Tails, and Amy are still great, and the massive monster battle is exciting, but Eggman truly shines.
Okay, so I’ve been hearing everyone talk about Rebecca Yarros’s Fourth Wing – it came out in 2023 and totally blew up, especially on TikTok’s BookTok community. It won a bunch of awards last year, and she’s already released two sequels, Iron Flame and Onyx Storm, with two more on the way to wrap up the Empyrean series. Now, get this – Amazon is making it into a TV show! And they’ve got Lisa Joy, who did Westworld and Fallout, directing the first episode. Prime Video just announced it, and she’s going to be an executive producer alongside Michael B. Jordan, Athena Wickham, and her husband/collaborator Jonathan Nolan. I’m seriously excited about this one!
Behavior Interactive and PHI Studio have announced a new, immersive experience based on the world of Blade Runner, set to launch in 2027. They describe it as a visually stunning and story-driven experience that pays tribute to the original film. The experience will begin in several North American cities next year, with more details coming soon.
A rumor started on 4chan claims that Rocksteady is developing a Batman Beyond game. The post detailed that the game would be set long after Batman: Arkham Knight, featuring Terry McGinnis as Batman. However, this leak appears to be false, despite many fans wanting a game like this for years.
It’s been a while since Christopher Nolan had a film break the $1 billion mark at the box office – not since The Dark Knight Rises, actually. But it’s not that he’s lost his touch! Oppenheimer proved he can still draw huge crowds and create a cultural moment. Still, that billion-dollar milestone remained elusive. That’s why The Odyssey feels different. It’s massive in scope, packed with A-list stars, and clearly designed for the big screen – the kind of movie that demands a theatrical experience. If any Nolan film is going to get him back into that billion-dollar club, it’s this one. But there’s a significant hurdle standing in its way.
