Even after five years, I still often think about Immortals Fenyx Rising. While it was originally criticized for being similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, that comparison didn’t let people fully appreciate the game. It had a really enjoyable world filled with puzzles, battles, and imaginative locations inspired by Greek myths. Ubisoft created a lively and engaging game, but they haven’t explored its full potential. A sequel could have built on the strengths of the first game and made it even better, but unfortunately, Ubisoft has decided not to continue the series after only one installment.

In a recent interview with Comic Book, the team behind Pixar’s upcoming film, Hoppers, discussed which character they believe will be the breakout favorite with audiences.

He gained a lot of popularity even before the movie’s release!

Yakumo now has a new weapon, Solitaire, a scythe that seems designed to be upgraded with Bloodbind Ninjutsu. Meanwhile, Ryu gets Jakotsumon, Serpent Gauntlets that give him more options in combat. Both characters will face new challenges, including a powerful demon who flies with a jetpack and a series of difficult Trials.

The sudden announcement of the final arc for Deadpool: Samurai after a year-long break already surprised fans, but the way the story ended was even more shocking. In a controversial finale, Deadpool literally blew up Shueisha’s building as his series concluded.
