This week, My Hero Academia revealed a new mobile game called My Hero Academia United Survival. The popular animation studio, Studio BONES, is returning to create special animations for the game. While a preview has been released, it doesn’t show how the game will be played or what the game, nicknamed “HiroSaba”, will actually be like. Still, fans of the anime will likely be excited about this new addition. This announcement comes after the news that another My Hero Academia mobile game, My Hero Academia: Ultra Impact, will stop running in May 2026. Now that the manga series has finished, it will be interesting to see what other games are developed in the future.

Subnautica 2, the sequel everyone’s been waiting for, is launching into Early Access in May! Before the new game arrives, the creators at Unknown Worlds are celebrating the original Subnautica by making it free to play on Steam and the Epic Games Store from April 2nd to April 6th. If you enjoy the experience, you can purchase the game with a significant 75% discount until April 9th on Steam and April 7th on the Epic Games Store.

Today marks the 28th anniversary of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime’s debut in Japan. However, this first version of Yu-Gi-Oh! was quite different from the one most fans in the US and other English-speaking countries are familiar with, thanks to 4Kids Entertainment. Instead of centering around the trading card game, this original series, produced by a different studio, was more of a high-stakes, life-or-death competition.

2013 marked a turning point for Marvel. Following the huge success of their first billion-dollar movie and Disney’s acquisition of the company, Marvel executives started making new plans. Unable to feature mutants in their films, they decided to focus on the Inhumans instead. This led to a push for the Inhumans in both the movies and the comics, intended to fill the role mutants previously held. Unfortunately, this meant the X-Men were sidelined. While this strategy could have worked, it ultimately failed due to poor execution.

Beyond its financial success and growing popularity, They Will Kill You shares similarities with Ready or Not, and a handful of other well-loved cult films. Let’s explore those connections and what makes them alike.

The sci-fi horror film Event Horizon, a cult favorite, will be available to stream on both Tubi and Kanopy this April. It’s already on Tubi as of April 1st, and will be added to Kanopy on April 17th. Kanopy is a free streaming service with no ads, offering a wide range of films and documentaries – all you need to access it is a library card or university login. Event Horizon, directed by Paul Anderson, is set in 2047 and follows astronauts investigating a spaceship that mysteriously reappeared after being lost for seven years. The film stars Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Kathleen Quinlan, and Joely Richardson. While it wasn’t a success when it was first released, it has since gained a dedicated following as a cult classic.

Just in time for Lee Cronin’s return to theaters with The Mummy this month, his first horror film is now available to stream on HBO Max. The Hole in the Ground, released by A24 in 2019, arrived on the platform April 1st. This supernatural horror movie is a fresh take on the classic myth of the changeling. The story follows Sarah O’Neill, a single mother who moves to the country for a fresh start with her son, Chris. But after Chris acts strangely following a discovery of a large sinkhole in the woods, Sarah begins to fear that the child she knows isn’t her son at all, and has been replaced by something sinister.

We don’t want to influence your initial thoughts, but we expect the PlayStation Plus Essential games for April 2026 will likely be a mixed bag – some people will love them, and others won’t.

The DC Universe is just getting started, so many major characters like Batman and Wonder Woman haven’t been cast yet. Though the universe is growing with new shows like Lanterns and Clayface coming later this year, stories focused on Superman and his family are currently leading the way. James Gunn is already planning to use this momentum, which could allow David Corenswet to become the Superman actor with the most appearances.

Both Andy Serkis and Viggo Mortensen have confirmed Mortensen won’t be returning as Aragorn, leaving the studio to find a new actor for the iconic role. Reports suggest they’ve chosen Leo Woodall, known for his work in Vladimir, Nuremberg. The casting has sparked mixed reactions from fans. Some are unhappy with the choice, while others believe recasting is necessary for the new films to succeed, given the original cast members are now too old to reprise their parts. One fan expressed their initial hope for advanced de-aging technology, admitting they were torn between wanting the original cast to return and understanding the need for change.
