So, Capcom just dropped their latest sales numbers, and I was really surprised by what they said about Devil May Cry 5! Apparently, it sold a massive 2.7 million copies this past year – that’s the best single year the game has ever had, which is crazy considering it came out almost seven years ago. And get this: overall, DMC5 has now sold close to 13 million copies! That makes it one of Capcom’s biggest hits ever, and I’m super stoked for them (and still playing the game!).

Prime Video has tried several times to create a successful fantasy series, and its upcoming show, Fourth Wing, might finally be the one. Based on Rebecca Yarros’ popular Empyrean Series books, the story is set at Basgiath War College, where students train for battle. They specialize in one of four areas – writing, infantry, healing, or becoming dragon riders. With its exciting premise and strong source material, Fourth Wing has the potential to be a long-running and significant hit for the streaming service.

Fans of Bungo Stray Dogs are eagerly awaiting Season 6, but there’s good news: a new anime is arriving soon! Bungo Stray Dogs Wan!, the official spinoff series, has announced its second season will premiere on July 2nd. A new trailer has also been released to celebrate.

Bandai Namco Filmworks recently shared its yearly financial results, and the news wasn’t great. Profits for the company, particularly for the Gundam franchise, dropped by 43.8% over the past year, going from approximately $29 million to $20.5 million. While these figures don’t reflect Bandai Namco’s overall performance (which is much stronger), the report doesn’t explain the reason for this decrease. You can find the full financial report here.

In season 9, episode 4, titled “A Ricker Runs Through It,” Morty is shocked to learn that Reese, an acquaintance of both him and Rick, is actually just a living container for Rick’s passwords. Morty tries to save Reese from being discarded and replaced, but things quickly escalate. The Smith family ends up held hostage by a planet of pigs who make vodka – they’re seeking revenge on Rick after a long wait. This episode cleverly spoofs a famous story by Stephen King.

PlayStation recently updated the PS Plus “Last Chance to Play” section on PS5 consoles, listing twelve games that will be removed from the service next month. This is more than usual – typically, only six to eight games are taken off each month, making this a surprisingly large number.

Nine Dot Studios CEO and creative director Guillaume Boucher-Vidal announced on the studio’s website that they’ve made a sudden decision to delay the game. He explained that sticking to the original plan would likely result in a product that doesn’t meet player expectations. The team doesn’t want to disappoint fans of Outward, and they’ve heard feedback requesting more development time. Boucher-Vidal stated that the purpose of a beta is to listen to player feedback, and they plan to do just that.

The new film, Brand New Day, is expected to be a big success in theaters, potentially solidifying Tom Holland’s role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a long time. But Holland is also open about discussing what the future holds for his character and who might take over the role after him.

We’ve already seen great things like Deadpool & Wolverine and the revival of X-Men ’97 (though that series isn’t part of the main Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline). Now, a proper MCU version of the X-Men is in development, and the writer, Lee Sung Jin (creator of Beef), has shared some exciting updates. He says the team has a strong, focused idea for the project, prioritizing beloved characters while still capturing the relationships and dramatic storylines fans enjoy from the comics. He also described the collaborative creative process with Marvel’s Kevin Feige and Louis D’Esposito as a fun and open brainstorming experience.
