With Solo Leveling currently on hold due to its anime and webtoon breaks, a new series called Tomb Raider King is emerging with a strikingly similar protagonist, weapon, and quest for powerful artifacts. The Korean-produced anime is set to launch this summer and has released a first-look trailer and poster, aiming to establish its own identity and appeal to fans awaiting the return of Solo Leveling.
What truly sets these shows apart isn’t just how well they’re made or how visually impressive they are, but their ability to genuinely connect with people. They surprise you, make you feel something, and often leave you thinking about them long afterward. Even as tastes change and animation evolves, the important ideas in these classics stay powerful and relevant.
What truly makes Thor a captivating character isn’t just his incredible strength – which puts him on par with someone like Kratos – but also the difficult past that shaped him. A game that tells Thor’s origin story, showing a similar journey of struggle and transformation as Kratos, would be a great way to highlight this depth. With Ryan Hurst, who voices Thor, now playing Kratos in the new Amazon series, now is the perfect time to create that game.
Look, I’m a huge George R.R. Martin fan, and I recently read his comments about the show adaptations. He admitted he has an ego, which, honestly, any creator would! What really struck me was his desire for faithfulness to his original work – he built this incredible world, Westeros, and naturally wants to be involved and have his vision respected. Apparently, Warner Bros. – who technically own the rights now – isn’t always giving him that. HBO’s Francesca Orsi has said they’ll consider his input, but ultimately do what they think is best for the show. It sounds like some of the changes they made with House of the Dragon didn’t sit well with him, and I can totally understand why – it’s his world, after all!
It’s been almost three years since those initial announcements, and honestly, it’s frustrating – we still have no idea when we’ll actually see any of these new Star Wars films. Kathleen Kennedy, before leaving her role at Lucasfilm, let slip that Dawn of the Jedi is currently stalled. And it sounds like Dave Filoni’s movie might be too, now that he’s stepped into a leadership position at the studio. What’s really strange is that Kennedy didn’t mention New Jedi Order – the Rey movie – during her recent interview with Deadline when talking about projects in the works. You’d think a film starring Rey would be a huge priority, so her silence almost feels like confirmation of those rumors about where her story is headed.
The film His & Hers, adapted from Alice Feeny’s novel, features Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal. It follows Anna, a journalist who has withdrawn from the world, but is drawn back into things when a murder occurs in her hometown. Returning to Dahlonega, she reconnects with Detective Jack Harper, who finds her sudden reappearance suspicious and makes her a key part of his investigation.
With the release of Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties approaching, Yakuza 3 Remastered will no longer be sold separately on the PlayStation Store, Steam, or Microsoft Store. It will only be available as part of the Yakuza Complete Series bundle, which costs $129, a significant increase from the previous $19.99 price. A physical copy of the Yakuza Remastered Collection, which includes the game, is available for around $29.99, but this could lead to limited availability of the physical edition in the future.
The story starts with Aegon’s Conquest, and all dates are counted from that event, marked as “AC” (After Conquest). House of the Dragon is set over a century after the Conquest, while Game of Thrones takes place nearly 300 years later, after the Targaryen dynasty is finished. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms falls somewhere in between those two time periods.
I’m so excited! Deadpool: Samurai is back after being on break for over a year, and it’s hilarious because Deadpool actually apologizes to us, the fans, right away for making us wait! He even points out it’s been 15 months! And get this – he promises to try and deliver some ‘clean, wholesome’ content from now on, just to make sure we don’t have to wait that long again. It’s a really fun way to kick off the new chapter.
The game truly shines when it successfully blends epic battles with beloved Disney characters. A fantastic example of this, surprisingly, was a bonus boss first found in a 2012 spin-off game for the 3DS, and many players may have missed it. As Kingdom Hearts 4 is being developed, it would be wonderful if the creators revisited and incorporated some of the best, lesser-known elements from past games.
