The Nagasaki Prefectural Police recently used popular anime poses – including those from characters like Josuke Higashikata, Yujiro Hanma, and Captain Ginyu – on their social media to connect with residents. Along with the fun photos, they shared important updates: they’re hiring and reminding people to be aware of police impersonation scams. With anime being so popular in Japan, it’s no surprise they’re using it to get their message across online.

A game called Alien: Rogue Incursion was originally released for virtual reality in 2024. I didn’t pay much attention to it initially because I don’t have a VR headset, and VR gaming hasn’t become as popular as some expected. Exclusive games like Rogue Incursion are mostly enjoyed by those who can afford the expensive technology. Luckily, an Evolved Edition was released for PS5, PC, and later the Nintendo Switch 2. This move caused some controversy, and many people have dismissed the game because of it. However, I think Rogue Incursion is surprisingly good – it’s almost as compelling as Alien: Isolation, which is often considered the best Alien game ever made.

The anime series based on Yuji Iwahara’s Clevatess, which premiered last year, was a huge success. So, it’s no surprise that a second season is coming this July! You can find the new trailer and poster for Clevatess Season 2 below, giving a sneak peek at what’s coming next. New episodes will be available on Crunchyroll.

This list focuses solely on individual Elves who appear or play a significant role in The Lord of the Rings, including both Tolkien’s book and Peter Jackson’s movies. While the larger Tolkien legendarium features countless other Elves in works like The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, covering them all would require a separate article. The characters included here vary from minor advisors with just a few lines to the most powerful immortal beings in Middle-earth at the start of the Fourth Age, and they are ranked based on the extent of their power as defined by Tolkien.

Porting Final Fantasy VII Rebirth wasn’t a simple copy-and-paste process. Because the Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 have different capabilities, the game needed some adjustments to run smoothly on the Nintendo console. Surprisingly, this process actually helped the development team refine their plans for the final game in the trilogy. Before Final Fantasy VII Rebirth launches on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S, Game Director Naoki Hamaguchi discussed these changes with egmr.ru.

This set of two Squishmallow pillows features the beloved characters Mando and Grogu in super-soft form!

In the latest episode of One Piece, Luffy and his crew escaped the kingdom of Alabasta and are now heading towards Elbaph, the legendary island of the giants. Fans have also been anticipating the introduction of a key character, Loki, and it looks like he’ll finally appear in Episode 1160. Check out a preview of the episode below!

The initial Villainous UA for Dungeons & Dragons added new options for four classes—Cleric, Druid, Fighter, and Sorcerer—giving players a wider range of character types to choose from. Players could create Clerics devoted to a Domain of Pestilence, focusing on poison, or Druids of the Circle of the Titan, who transform into enormous, powerful natural forces. Fighters gained the option to become Hell Knights, drawing strength from the fires of the underworld, and Sorcerers could tap into the magic of infamous Demon Lords through the Demonic Sorcery subclass.

Since the prequel films, Star Wars stories have increasingly shown us the details of how the Republic fell and the Empire rose to power. Star Wars: The Clone Wars especially highlighted the events leading to this downfall, including the pivotal moment of Order 66, which was essential for the Empire’s rise and control. However, looking back, it’s become clear that the Empire ultimately failed in its goals.

During interviews for the new Mortal Kombat 2 movie, Ed Boon was asked about the possibility of Cole Young – the character introduced in the 2021 film as a way for audiences to connect with the story – appearing in a future Mortal Kombat game. He then mentioned some ideas that ultimately didn’t happen.
