According to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Centro Leaks, the next generation of Pokémon games – Generation 10 – may be called *Pokémon Wind* and *Pokémon Waves*. The source also claims the games’ central theme is “Infinity” and that Shigeru Ohmori is directing them. Interestingly, Centro Leaks reports the games will take place in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, which contradicts earlier speculation that the setting would be the Greek islands.

The upcoming film, *The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender*, continues the story of the original TV series, showing Aang and his friends as adults. While details are still scarce about the movie – set to release next October – co-creator Bryan Konietzko offered some hints at New York Comic Con 2025 (according to ScreenRant). He emphasized the film will have a visually impressive style, but remained tight-lipped about the plot.

Among the improvements are the following PS5 specific fixes:

After recent layoffs and news that around 300 jobs were potentially affected, staff – both current and former – are now claiming that the project’s leaders, including ex-Grand Theft Auto producer Leslie Benzies and co-CEO Mark Gerhard, have consistently shown disrespect and mistreated employees.

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

As a huge fan, I was so excited to see more of the story! Tarsier recently showed off the first five minutes, explaining how The Boy and The Girl even met before they wound up on that mysterious island with the old Mill. We got to see them exploring and trying to avoid these really creepy, snake-like creatures, and thankfully, they eventually found their friend, Hood!

In *Pokémon Legends: Z-A*, trainers will need to quickly give commands during battles, using all of their Pokémon’s moves while also skillfully avoiding enemy attacks. This new battle system is combined with the return of Mega Evolution, showing that the developers, Game Freak, are willing to innovate the classic *Pokémon* formula. Journalists who played a demo at the recent Pokémon World Championships have been impressed, calling the changes creative, ambitious, and easy to learn. *Pokémon Legends: Z-A* feels like a carefully considered evolution of the series.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty 

I just saw a screenshot from Gematsu, and it looks like *Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2* is getting a Mature 17+ rating! The ESRB listing warns about blood, gore, strong language, and plenty of violence – sounds like a proper *Aliens* game to me! Good news for us PC and console players, too – Daybreak Game Company is planning to release it on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Akimoto, the creator of the anime, publicly acknowledged the artist Mizuno Uta and complimented the show’s visuals on their official social media account. She shared Uta’s portfolio, which included previous work strikingly similar to the anime’s style. While Akimoto didn’t directly address claims that AI was used in production, the timing and details of her post suggested it wasn’t a coincidence. Though her post aimed to dispel the rumors, it didn’t gain much attention, and the controversy continued. Despite the accusations, the animation studios haven’t commented. The second episode released on October 12th didn’t change the core element that makes the anime stand out.
