The broadcast will be packed with over 45 minutes of announcements, cutting straight to the highlights with no filler. Expect to see eight brand new game reveals, gameplay footage, and release dates. Confirmed to appear are publishers like Devolver Digital, Klei, sunset visitor, and tinyBuild. Games already announced include Alkahest, Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse, Dead as Disco, Risk of Rain 2, and Windrose. After the main show, there will be a follow-up segment with more in-depth looks at some of the games featured.

The Star Trek franchise is doing well, but recent shows often move too quickly, focusing on long, connected storylines instead of the slower, self-contained episodes of the original series. While Star Trek: Strange New Worlds did a good job of bringing back that classic style, many longtime fans miss the look and feel of the older shows – things like detailed spaceship models, formal shipboard rules, and stories that presented a clear moral question each week. Luckily, other sci-fi series offer a similar blend of hopeful stories and strong teamwork between characters.

DC Studios initially planned a gradual reveal of the ‘Lanterns’ trailer, but unexpectedly released it early. While many expected a positive response, opinions were actually quite mixed. Some fans praised the trailer’s atmospheric style, noting its similarity to ‘True Detective,’ while others disliked that same aesthetic and felt the series lacked enough of the signature green color expected from a Green Lantern show. This led to numerous fan-made edits attempting to add more green to the visuals, and subsequently, a past quote from the show’s creator, Damon Lindelof, resurfaced online.

The story behind the movie Bloodsport is almost as captivating as the film itself. It centers on Frank Dux, an army captain played by Van Damme, who secretly enters a deadly, illegal underground fighting tournament called the Kumite. While competing, he’s pursued by military investigators determined to arrest him. For years, Bloodsport was believed to be a true story based on Frank Dux’s life, but that claim has come under scrutiny. The idea of a secret, no-holds-barred fighting tournament has been copied many times since (like in Mortal Kombat), but creating something that truly lives up to Bloodsport is a real challenge.

Cartoon Network’s move to create more original shows wasn’t always smooth, particularly in the 1990s as cable TV pushed creative limits. This sometimes led to episodes being pulled from the schedule after just one airing, or never shown at all. A prime example of this happened on March 18, 2004 – 22 years ago today – when a new episode of The Powerpuff Girls aired only in Canada. Cartoon Network had banned it from being shown in the United States. The reason for the ban remained a mystery for a while, but it now seems rather silly.

Norman Osborn is widely known as Spider-Man’s enemy, but many fans believe a surprising truth: he isn’t actually Spidey’s greatest villain, or even the best Green Goblin. While Norman was the original, his son, Harry Osborn, has surpassed him. Harry has become the Green Goblin multiple times, and his most compelling run was in the early 1990s, during a fantastic storyline in The Spectacular Spider-Man written by J.M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Sal Buscema. This story arc is considered a high point in Spider-Man history, offering a deeply engaging and memorable experience for readers.

A reliable source, Dusk Golem, who has accurately leaked information about Resident Evil games in the past, says that Capcom is actively working on a remake of the original Resident Evil. However, Dusk Golem emphasized that the remake is still several years away from release and won’t be publicly revealed for quite some time. Capcom plans to release other Resident Evil titles before showing off this remake.

The last episodes of Dragon Ball Super were a global phenomenon, causing streaming services to crash and having a huge impact on fans. It was the first new Dragon Ball anime in years, and the Tournament of Power showed Goku striving to reach his absolute peak. When Episode 130 first aired in Japan on March 18, 2018 – eight years ago today – fans witnessed the incredible power of Mastered Ultra Instinct Goku, and things haven’t been quite the same since.

Nvidia’s new technology uses AI to enhance the realism of video game characters. While technically impressive, the results have been widely mocked online, with people describing the characters as overly glamorous or “Yassified.” This situation also emphasizes how important graphics are to a game’s overall artistic impact.

A standout feature of Resident Evil Requiem was its mix of action and classic horror. Playing as Leon focused on intense combat against waves of infected enemies, while sections with Grace emphasized escaping terrifying creatures. This balance made the game scary, but also more accessible than other survival horror titles like Alien: Isolation or Outlast, which can be incredibly overwhelming due to the player’s vulnerability.
