As a huge fan of the Phantasy Star Online 2 series, I’ve always been blown away by how much you can customize your character. It’s not just a little feature – it’s a core part of the whole experience, both in the original PSO2 and now in New Genesis. Honestly, it’s gotten to the point where character creation feels like a game within the game! No other game even comes close to offering this level of freedom, detail, or the ability to really shape your character over the long term. It’s incredible!

Megan Thee Stallion has been hinting at an anime project for a while, and officially confirmed it last year. She recently shared an update on social media, revealing she’s begun recording her voice for a character in the show. The project is being produced by Carl Jones, known for shows like The Boondocks and Black Dynamite, and the anime is likely titled Hotties. Megan seems really excited about it – you can see her announcement below.

The game now has a new, attention-grabbing theme song and a trailer that focuses on its action-packed combat. We also get a first look at the strange creatures Romeo will battle as a member of the FBI’s Space-Time Police. Armed with a variety of weapons, Romeo’s journey promises to take him to bizarre and unusual locations.

As a huge fan of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, I know a lot of us have been hoping to see more development between Fern and Stark, and it’s so cool to hear the voice actors feel the same way! Kana Ichinose (Fern’s voice) and Chiaki Kobayashi (Stark’s voice) recently talked about the potential romance between their characters, and honestly, Ichinose perfectly captured what many of us are thinking – she quoted Sein, saying, “Let’s just go out and date already!!!” It’s really exciting to see them acknowledge the fans’ enthusiasm and their own excitement about this blossoming dynamic.

In the final moments of Born Again season one, Daredevil realizes he needs to build a team to take on Mayor Fisk and his task force designed to stop vigilantes. Fisk has already rounded up many of New York’s heroes and locked them up, including The Punisher. It seems likely that rescuing these captured heroes will be a key focus of season two, and the initial trailer suggests just that.

We didn’t include Wanda Maximoff on the list because, to our knowledge, she died at the end of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. While it would be unexpected, she might actually stay that way. However, the other heroes we’ve left out have no indication of returning – and some haven’t been seen in years.

Tom Cannon, the executive producer of 2XKO, shared a heartfelt message explaining that while the game’s release on consoles pleased its dedicated fans, it didn’t generate enough ongoing interest to support the team working on it long-term.

The movie Rogue Agent tells the story of Robert Freegard (played by James Norton), a master con artist who pretends to be a secret MI5 agent. He manipulates and holds many people captive while evading capture. His elaborate scheme ultimately unravels when a woman he’s involved with (Gemma Arterton) exposes him. The film is as unbelievable as the true story it’s based on, and while it doesn’t quite capture all the tension of the real events, it’s still a very entertaining watch.

Today marks the 22nd anniversary of Metroid: Zero Mission, a remake of the original Metroid game for the Game Boy Advance. While it’s a highly-rated game, many fans actually consider Metroid Fusion, released in 2002, to be the better Game Boy Advance title. Metroid Fusion is often ranked among the top three best games on the system, alongside Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords.

I was pretty shocked to read on Riot’s website today that they’re significantly reducing the team working on 2XKO. Apparently, Tom Cannon, the executive producer, said they’ve been looking at how players are actually using the game since launch and noticed some concerning patterns. It’s tough, but some of the developers might get to move into other roles at Riot, and those who are being laid off will at least get six months of severance. Cannon seems to think this will actually help 2XKO in the long run, which I’m hoping is true.
