If you’ve seen the first Chainsaw Man movie, you’ll remember the complicated relationship between Denji and Reze. It’s interesting to see that the coffee shop where Reze works – a key location in their story – is featured again in some new artwork by Fujimoto. Along with this special art, the creators shared a thank you message to fans following the success of the MAPPA-produced movie. Tatsuki Fujimoto, the original author, expressed his gratitude to everyone who went to see it and thanked us for continuing to support Chainsaw Man: The Reze Arc. You can check out the new artwork below.

The Fox engine was created with the aim of being a top-tier game engine, and it almost achieved that. However, it hasn’t been used much recently. Now that Konami is using Unreal Engine for new games, what’s become of the Fox Engine?

The success of the original Mass Effect trilogy created a lot of pressure for Mass Effect: Andromeda. When it launched in 2017, it needed to both honor what fans loved about the previous games and also offer something new. Unfortunately, strong feelings about the original trilogy and high expectations led to the game falling short. Though not a complete failure, Andromeda disappointed many and may have harmed the future of the Mass Effect series, contributing to difficulties for developer BioWare.

It’s a real treat to find a TV series that stays consistently good from beginning to end. The shows on this list didn’t just have a strong start – they also grew more complex and meaningful over time, while still staying true to what made them great. These are the shows where the writers had a clear plan and delivered satisfying conclusions that felt well-deserved.

V Rising first launched as an early access game in May 2022, and the full version 1.0 became available in 2024. It’s now playable on both PC and PlayStation 5, and many consider it one of the best vampire RPGs of the last ten years. Currently, V Rising is on sale on Steam for its lowest price ever – 55% off – until January 5th, 2026. PS5 players can also get a discount on the game through the PlayStation Store, though the reduction is 30% and lasts until January 8th.

Capcom is gearing up to celebrate Mega Man’s 40th anniversary in 2027. Producer Shingo Izumi recently hinted at more to come for the franchise, beyond the already announced Mega Man: Dual Override (also known as Mega Man 12). This suggests Capcom has several plans for the series, aligning with earlier reports about its future.

I was really excited to see Kojima’s latest post on X! He basically laid out his plans for 2026, and it sounds amazing. OD is going to be the big focus for Kojima Productions, but he also emphasized that they’re putting a lot of effort into Physint too. He said they’re starting to cast actors for Physint and will be doing a lot more performance capture. Apparently, they’ve already got some cast members lined up, but they’re still looking for the perfect person to play the main character!

The first season of Tokyo Ghoul was well-received by fans and those familiar with the original manga. However, later seasons were widely criticized as being poor adaptations of the source material. What started as a promising anime quickly became a forgotten series, often brought up as an example of a failed adaptation. This disappointment has led fans to call for a reboot, hoping Tokyo Ghoul can finally live up to its potential. Given the success of remakes like Hunter x Hunter and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, a new version could revitalize the entire franchise.

In a recent Apple TV interview, the creator of Pluribus shared that the surname ‘Sturka’ was inspired by a character named William Sturka from the classic Twilight Zone episode, “Third from the Sun.” He also confessed that The Twilight Zone is his all-time favorite TV show and highlighted the similarities between the two series. Clearly influenced by The Twilight Zone’s suspenseful mood and mix of genres, Pluribus has rapidly become a standout sci-fi show for today’s audiences.

Beware the Batman was a unique take on the classic hero, standing out from other Gotham-based animated series when it debuted on Cartoon Network in 2013. What really set it apart was its use of fully computer-generated (CG) animation – a big change from previous shows. Instead of featuring the usual villains like the Joker and Two-Face, the series highlighted lesser-known characters such as Professor Pyg, Magpie, and Anarky. Sadly, it’s no longer available on HBO Max, making it harder to watch.
