Release Date: TBD

Fans will remember that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was first announced in June 2022, with an initial release window of Winter 2023. However, it ultimately launched on February 29, 2024 – the last day of that winter season. The “Winter 2023” timeframe actually referred to the winter period starting in 2023 and ending in 2024. Following this pattern, if Square Enix announces Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 this June, it’s likely to be released in Winter 2027, meaning sometime between December 2027 and February 2028.

The X-Men’s history is built on constant change – new stories, characters joining and leaving, and major shifts in direction. These choices, about who to highlight and who to remove, have shaped the X-Men into the iconic comic book series it is today. We’re now looking at seven of the most impactful decisions that defined the X-Men, some brilliant, some disastrous, and others whose true impact remains to be seen. Let’s explore the foundation of the X-Men to understand which choices truly mattered.

Sony Pictures Animation began its journey in 2006 with the release of Open Season, their first animated film and the launch of a successful franchise. In its early years, the studio produced movies like Surf’s Up, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and the live-action The Smurfs. However, the 2010s saw a downturn in their critical reception with films like Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania, Smurfs: The Lost Village, and The Emoji Movie. Thankfully, Sony Pictures Animation experienced a significant turnaround in the late 2010s and 2020s, transforming from a studio known for its missteps into one of the most highly regarded animation studios today.

Here are five of the most obscure characters in Mortal Kombat history.

The movie doesn’t have a traditional credits scene, but rather a quick scene immediately after the story ends. This scene features Orko, the beloved floating magician who wasn’t included in the 1987 live-action film. He retells the story of Prince Adam’s return to Eternia. While he’s created with computer graphics, his design closely resembles his original animated appearance. It’s a little disappointing he doesn’t play a bigger role in the movie – there’s already one magical character, Sorceress – and he might have been too much of a distraction. Still, it’s a fun nod to fans. Now, let’s talk about the scenes that appear during and after the credits.

This summer’s anime season looks really interesting, especially when it comes to romance. There are a lot of unique, slice-of-life stories coming out, but also some that feel more classic. One upcoming anime, in particular, seems to be aiming for the same emotional impact as the film A Silent Voice – a truly beautiful story that realistically portrays romance and the challenges of life. What really stood out about that movie was the connection between the main characters; Shoko’s struggles actually helped Shoya grow and find direction. I’m getting a similar vibe from an upcoming series called Love Unseen Beneath the Clear Night Sky, which is set to debut this summer.

Early looks at gameplay for Marvel’s Wolverine reveal a significant departure from Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man. Instead of relying on quick reflexes and gadgets, Wolverine fights with a raw, aggressive, and violent style. While the game’s mature content might not appeal to all players, it appears there will be options to tone down the brutality for those who prefer a less intense experience.

When Star Trek returned to the big screen with its second movie three years later, it surprised everyone. Instead of starting a new story, the film continued the plot of a single episode from the original series. This bold move revitalized Star Trek, turning it into a hugely popular science fiction franchise with both movies and TV shows.
