Comics constantly reset, so we’ll never truly see the Punisher’s last days. Marvel won’t permanently retire one of its most popular characters, no matter how compelling the story. However, over twenty years ago, Marvel did explore the idea with The Punisher: The End, a one-shot comic by Garth Ennis, Richard Corben, and Lee Loughridge. It aimed to give Frank Castle a definitive, though fictional, conclusion to his story.

This week, 11 Bit Studios announced that Frostpunk is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. Originally released in 2018, Frostpunk quickly became a beloved strategy game and spawned a whole franchise.

It would be easy to dismiss this information if it came from an unknown source, but that’s not the case. Several reports indicate this account, Society of Raiders, previously leaked details about the upcoming Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis before its official announcement at The Game Awards 2025, lending some weight to the current claims. However, it’s still unconfirmed, and even the original source of the rumor has presented it as speculation, as they can’t reveal where they got the information.

The new INDUSTRIA story begins years after the first game, with Nora still stranded in another dimension. She’s been living on her own in an old coastal chapel, surrounded by robotic structures. Just when she thinks she might finally escape, she’s drawn back into the heart of ATLAS, the powerful AI. This time, the story reveals Nora’s connection to how ATLAS was created, making the conflict much more personal than just trying to get home.

Netflix announced that Season 3 of One Piece will arrive in 2027. The new season will cover the Alabasta saga from the original manga by Eiichiro Oda. Following the introduction of Princess Vivi in Season 2 and the events of the finale, Netflix shared a preview of the upcoming storyline, hinting at new challenges for the Straw Hat crew in a desert setting.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie really expanded on the world established in the first film. The sequel pulled from decades of Mario history, giving characters a wide range of power-ups. Luigi got a Frog Suit, Toad donned a Penguin Suit for a fight in an icy casino, and Mario used a Drill Mushroom during the final battle. We also saw classic elements like Cloud Flower platforms, a Blimp Yoshi, Ice Flower attacks, and a Bubble Flower. The movie ended with Mario using a Red Star and Cape Feather to defeat a dragon and celebrate the rebuilding of Peach’s castle. After two films, the collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination has brought a lot of Mario’s universe to life, but there are still some famous power-ups we haven’t seen on the big screen yet.

As a fan of Call of the Sea, I’m really excited about this new announcement! It’s not just another game like the first one – it’s a proper sequel, which is huge. The store descriptions and what I’ve read online make it sound like a Lovecraftian puzzle adventure that continues the story decades after the original. That’s what gets me most excited – it feels like they’re actually building on the world they created, instead of just trying to recapture the same feeling with a new game. It’s great to see them investing in the existing story!
