We’ve already covered many of the biggest upcoming PS5 games, listing over 40 titles. Now, let’s take a look at some exciting games that haven’t gotten as much attention.

February will bring Nightmare Geese, then Blue Mary in March and Wolfgang Krauser in April. The characters for May and June are currently unannounced mysteries.

Ironroot Games recently announced its launch on social media, describing itself as an independent studio owned by its employees and built by a team of friends passionate about creating amazing games. They say their combined years of experience in the gaming industry will drive their storytelling. The studio also revealed that they’ve already started working on their first game.

Fans on social media have noticed strange empty spaces in the new Black Panther/Fantastic Four trailer, leading to speculation that Marvel edited the footage to hide spoilers. Some believe characters like Doctor Doom or the Fantastic Four’s ship were digitally removed. One X user, @ProjectHurts, pointed to details like Shuri’s head angle and blurry backgrounds as evidence of these edits.

While Netflix has dominated conversations this year, HBO Max is also generating buzz. This weekend, the network premiered the latest season of its drama, Industry, co-produced with BBC One. Though not as widely recognized as shows like The Last of Us, Peacemaker, House of the Dragon, or the upcoming IT: Welcome to Derry, Industry has consistently attracted a dedicated audience and critical praise. Viewership numbers now suggest the show is reaching an even wider audience.

Will Smith’s new docuseries, Pole to Pole, follows him on an incredible 100-day adventure across all seven continents. All seven episodes are now available to stream on both Disney+ and Hulu. The series showcases Smith’s travels from Antarctica’s icy landscapes to the Amazon rainforest and many places in between, as he participates in groundbreaking scientific research, explores the Arctic, faces daring challenges like handling a venomous spider, and connects with people around the globe.

A new three-issue comic series, Avatar: The Last Airbender – Kyoshi Warriors, will continue the story of Suki and her team as they battle Ozai and the Fire Nation. Published by Dark Horse Comics and launching on May 6th, the series follows the Kyoshi Warriors as they leave their island to aid the Earth Kingdom in the war. According to the publisher, they’ll face prejudice and have to prove themselves, leading to a difficult question: how far are they willing to go to achieve victory? The series is created with the approval of the original creators, Konietzko and DiMartino, and is written by Brandon Hoang with artwork by BellBessa.

Oshi no Ko has become one of HIDIVE’s most popular series, and the third season recently began airing. Initially, the new season was announced to be exclusively on Crunchyroll, but HIDIVE has now confirmed they will also stream new episodes as they become available in Japan, alongside Crunchyroll.

The action film Face/Off, starring Nicholas Cage and John Travolta, will be leaving Netflix on January 19th. Released in 1997, the movie features a terrorist and an FBI agent who have a radical surgery to switch faces, voices, and appearances. The agent hopes this will help him find the location of a bomb, though things don’t go as planned. Despite the chaos, Face/Off was a huge hit, and there are rumors of a sequel in development.
