After an artificial intelligence named R.E.A.C.H. unexpectedly transfers into a human body, you find yourself fleeing the powerful Phoenix Corporation and navigating the dangerous city of Phoenix-City. However, this isn’t the America you might remember. A nuclear disaster has left a third of the country devastated, turning Phoenix-City into a lawless place filled with criminals, poverty, and terrifying threats that you’ll have to overcome.

So, I was chatting with NateTheHate, and he dropped some interesting news. Apparently, when the rumors about a 2D God of War game started going around last year, he heard that Sony was actually thinking about releasing it on multiple platforms. He doesn’t know if that idea ever really took off, but it’s definitely something they considered at one point.

TeamKill Media announced they’re working on several new projects and will share details soon. Following the positive reception to Code Violet, they’ve officially started developing the next installment in the series, titled Code UltraViolet, as shared on X (formerly Twitter).

Comics have given Princess Leia a memorable enemy: Commander Ellian Zahra, a former student of Grand Moff Tarkin who wants revenge on the Rebellion by tracking her down. Eleven years ago, another great rivalry was established in the Star Wars comics, and that character has since appeared in the live-action series. However, surprisingly, these two rivals have never actually crossed paths.

Jar Jar Binks is experiencing a surprising comeback. Over time, opinions about the character have changed, particularly among original Star Wars fans who are now adults. This shift is now official within the Star Wars universe, thanks to the new comic Star Wars: Jar Jar #1. The comic reveals Jar Jar played a vital role in starting the Rebel Alliance. Featuring Jedi Kelleran Beq (played by Ahmed Best in The Mandalorian) and co-written by Best, this one-time issue explains what happened to Jar Jar after the prequel films and is a delightful addition to the Star Wars saga. However, it feels like just a glimpse of a potentially larger and more compelling story for the Gungan character.

Gene Luen Yang, the writer of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, has surprised readers with the way he’s handled Splinter’s return, and issue #15 delivers another exciting twist. Yang quickly reveals Splinter’s true identity to the other Turtles, which unexpectedly makes the main conflict even more compelling. This reveal doesn’t feel forced – it flows naturally with the story and sets the stage for the next big surprise.

Blind box collecting is incredibly popular right now, and Funko is intentionally tapping into that enthusiasm. These new collectibles come in sealed, opaque packaging, so you won’t know which one you’ve gotten until you open it – and that’s the fun! Each unboxing is meant to be a special experience, particularly for those who enjoy the thrill of finding rare items.

If you love the idea of giving flowers for Valentine’s Day but want something that lasts, LEGO’s Botanicals collection is a great choice. These buildable bouquets offer a romantic touch, look beautiful on display, and are a fun activity to do together – something traditional flowers can’t offer. Plus, they don’t need any care, won’t wilt, and won’t end up disappointing anyone when they fade.

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

When these games launch on the new Switch 2, they’ll look better than ever thanks to graphical upgrades. While connected to a TV, the games will run at a sharp 1440p resolution, and at 1080p when played on the go. In both modes, players can expect a smooth 60 frames per second, making the controls feel more responsive and the underwater sections more immersive. The games have also been optimized for the new Joy-Con 2 controllers, allowing for more precise movement and smoother gameplay.
