If Destiny 2 had been given time for players and developers to come to terms with its ending, like Amazon is doing with New World: Aeternum, it would have allowed for a proper goodbye to the game’s universe. Instead, the unexpected announcement shocked everyone, particularly the developers who were already creating new content that will now be lost. This situation is another difficult moment for game developers, highlighting the many challenges they currently face.

Given how well the first KPop Demon Hunters did, a sequel was inevitable, though we’re looking at a wait – probably until 2029! Honestly, it’s natural to be a little worried about that; sequels to surprise hits can often disappoint, and sometimes studios just chase profits. But from what I’ve heard, that doesn’t seem to be the situation with this one. It sounds like the people behind KPop Demon Hunters genuinely have a vision for where they want to take the story, and that’s really encouraging.

Despite a disappointing box office performance for this year’s 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple – even though critics loved it more than the first film in 2025 – the series still has a bright future. Director Danny Boyle recently shared some encouraging news, stating that the third film is expected to arrive next year. This suggests the potential for what could be one of the decade’s best trilogies is still very much alive.

As a long-time gamer, I still remember the buzz around Superman 64 when it came out for the N64 almost thirty years ago! Everyone was excited about the idea of flying around a fully open Metropolis, but sadly, the game ended up being notoriously difficult to control and just… not very good. It became famous as one of the biggest critical failures in gaming history, even though it surprisingly sold okay. Now, looking back, it’s fascinating to revisit the game and try to understand what went wrong – and whether it truly deserves the title of ‘worst superhero game ever’.

Continuing the Toy Story series is a huge risk, even if a new movie is well-made. The films have set such a high emotional bar for audiences that they’re no longer seen as just cartoons. Fans are very protective of the series, and even minor changes could lead to disappointment. But surprisingly, the decision to continue wasn’t as impulsive as it might seem; it was carefully considered.

The anime series Yuri on Ice debuted in 2016 as a completely original creation, not adapted from any existing manga or light novel. To celebrate its tenth anniversary this year, the studio MAPPA has released new artwork, with character designer Tadashi Hiramatsu returning to work on the project. A special “10th Anniversary Box Set,” including the complete series and soundtrack, will be available in Japan later this year. Additionally, a large exhibition revisiting the anime will be held this winter. For fans hoping for a new Yuri on Ice anime, this event could be the most promising sign yet.

Revivals are often tricky, but some manage to come back feeling just as strong as before – and that’s unusual. ABC’s Roseanne did exactly that in 2018, returning for a tenth season after 21 years off the air. The original series had ended in 1997, but the revival was a big success. While critics gave it mixed reviews, audiences loved it, with over 27 million people tuning in for the first two episodes.

Gutierrez announced on social media that he’s leaving Amazon’s AI animation project after receiving significant criticism. He said he’s been carefully considering the feedback and understands concerns about using AI in animation. He expressed gratitude to those who were understanding and stated he’s decided to cancel the planned Punky Duck series. Gutierrez explained his original goal was to highlight the work of artists using this new technology, and he sincerely apologized to anyone he upset, promising to be more considerate in the future. He thanked everyone for their patience.

The 1980s had a lot of fantastic animated TV shows, but also some truly strange ones. Many of these are now just hazy memories, and people today would hardly believe they ever existed. Here are 5 of the most unusual and forgotten cartoons from that decade.

Deadpool’s most memorable stories, whether focusing on his days as a hired gun or his time as a major monster, consistently combine intense action, clever humor, and surprisingly heartfelt moments – all of which have defined his place in Marvel Comics.
