IO Interactive has officially released the first 13-or-so minutes of 007 First Light.

Nine Dots isn’t exaggerating when they call Outward 2 a “challenging action RPG” that doesn’t hold your hand. The beta strongly suggests you try a tutorial first, and for good reason. You start as an ordinary person, completely on your own, trying to survive in a harsh world. This is a far cry from games like Skyrim where you’re the chosen hero, and it won’t appeal to all players. However, after playing for several hours, I understand the game’s vision – though it still feels a little unpolished in this beta version.

Videos are appearing online showing the final versions of the new dolls and action figures, and it looks like they’ll be available soon. While the initial digital images looked good, it’s always hard to tell how a toy line will really turn out until it’s produced. Based on the first look at the dolls in these videos, they’re incredibly detailed, with accurate character designs, outfits, and accessories. You can see a close-up view in the video linked here.

The Spider-Man Magic set received some criticism, particularly regarding its implementation in MTG Arena, the digital version of Magic: The Gathering. Initially, Wizards of the Coast announced that while the Spider-Man set would be available on Arena, it wouldn’t use the original card art. Instead, it would feature different artwork under the name Through the Omenpaths, and this approach was planned for all future Marvel sets. However, Wizards has since reached an agreement with Marvel, meaning the complete Spider-Man set, with its original artwork, will be available in MTG Arena. The upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set will also receive the same treatment.

Even though Homelander was becoming more erratic, the show’s finale didn’t escalate his villainy as much as some viewers anticipated. He gains immunity to the supe virus with V1 in Episode 6 and appears to become even more powerful. However, the consequences of this aren’t as impactful as expected. He hardly has time to use his new abilities before Kimiko removes his powers. While Homelander’s defeat is very satisfying, the fact that it happens so quickly leaves a promise made about Season 5 unfulfilled.

It’s common for anime side characters to become more popular than the main characters, but how much they stand out really depends on the show. Sometimes they’re just a little more interesting, while other times they’re far more complex and steal the show whenever they’re on screen.

It’s not uncommon for comics to be announced and then quietly canceled, which is disappointing for fans and creators alike. However, just because a comic doesn’t get published doesn’t mean we can’t acknowledge its potential. Today, we’re exploring five stories Marvel intended to release but ultimately never did. These stories seemed promising, and it’s a shame we’ll never get to read them. Let’s take a look at Marvel’s most intriguing unpublished projects.

Mesoké, a new game from developer Mystik’art, will be released on PC through Steam on May 26, 2026. This solo project is a peaceful and thoughtful flying and exploration game where you guide the spirit of a woman as she journeys through a dreamlike world inspired by memories, feelings, and lost places. You can find it listed on Steam as an Adventure, Casual, and Indie game.

Batman’s foes often work alone, but they realize there’s strength in joining forces. Over the years, many Batman villains have teamed up, and some of these alliances have been quite effective. Here are seven of the most challenging and successful villain teams Batman has ever faced in DC Comics.
