It’s understandable that game companies don’t keep supporting games nobody plays. However, removing content from players who did purchase the game is really upsetting. This issue is now being fought in French courts, with a lawsuit against Ubisoft potentially forcing them—and other developers—to rethink how they handle games that require a constant internet connection. If the lawsuit succeeds, it could significantly change the way all game developers design these types of games.

The Backrooms started as a simple idea on the online forum 4chan in 2019. A picture of a large room with yellow carpet led people to imagine what it would be like to be stuck there, and those descriptions quickly spread online as a scary story. It became one of the most well-known horror myths of the past few years. A YouTube series by Parsons expanded on the idea, creating a detailed backstory, and the video game Escape the Backrooms made it even more popular across different platforms. The trailer for the game is genuinely creepy, focusing on the unsettling feeling of being in empty spaces and the eeriness of ordinary buildings, rather than relying on sudden shocks. However, fans of horror know that stories that start online don’t always work well when turned into full-length movies or games, though there are a few exceptions.

This update expands the game’s space exploration, letting you travel between planets and even use autopilot. We’ve also added new options for crafting gear, customizing your ship, and finding a new companion to join your crew.

The team creating TeamFight Tactics is constantly innovating and refreshing the game with new ideas. Seven years after its launch, they’re planning to release the first of three new content updates for 2026, with the goal of reaching a total of twenty updates by next year. The next big update, called Space Gods, will add a space theme to many popular characters from League of Legends and also give the game a fresh new look.

Fans often remember this episode for Bart’s famous prank, but little else stands out. Interestingly, it was also the very first clip show in The Simpsons‘ history. Exactly 33 years ago, on April 1, 1993, Homer opened an explosive beer – a truly memorable moment. However, this iconic scene was actually part of a clip show created to help meet production needs at the time.

Even the most disliked comic book storylines can sometimes lead to great things. A prime example is “Gotham War,” a Batman story widely considered to be terrible. It featured a confusing conflict between Batman and Catwoman, most of the Bat-Family tolerating a lot of crime, and a frustrating plot twist. While it’s often ignored, this story surprisingly set the stage for the compelling rivalry and major villain featured in Matt Fraction’s Batman (2025). Vandal Savage has become a fantastic Batman adversary, and it all started with the groundwork laid in “Gotham War.”

Kit Ellis, a former Nintendo PR manager, recently shared his thoughts on the recent Switch 2 leaks. He believes Nintendo is particularly upset about this leak because it revealed details about many upcoming games planned for 2026 and 2027, not just a single title. Ellis suggests this widespread leak could negatively affect Nintendo’s stock price, and expects the company to take stronger measures to prevent future leaks before official announcements.

As a huge fan of Smiling Friends, I loved seeing Adult Swim celebrate April Fool’s Day with that awesome extended stop-motion animation! It really reminded me that even though Charlie and Pim are all about spreading joy, the show isn’t afraid to get pretty dark sometimes. Along with news of when the final episode will air, Cartoon Network also dropped the titles of those last two installments. They’re called “Friend Bot (Version 12589218731809213528796879521)” and “Charlie’s Uncle Dies and Doesn’t Come Back,” and honestly, the promo they released hyping them up is already getting me emotional. You can check it out below – be warned, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster!

It’s been almost a decade since the last Heroes of Might and Magic game came out, but a new installment, Heroes of Might and Magic: Olden Era, was announced in 2024. Now, the developers at Unfrozen and Hooded Horse have confirmed the game will enter Early Access on April 30th. Here’s a rundown of what you can expect.

From the very beginning, every season of For All Mankind has started with a consistent scene: Margo Madison (Wrenn Schmidt) getting ready for the day. These scenes often include recurring details, like Margo sleeping at work beforehand. However, the Season 5 premiere noticeably left out something: the Stephen King book Margo was reading. After thinking about it, I realized the omission was intentional. The following contains spoilers for the Season 5 premiere of For All Mankind.
