If you’re excited about a potential new NieR game, a livestream is scheduled for February 20th to celebrate the series’ 9th anniversary. While many are hoping for a sequel announcement, there are currently no plans to reveal one during the stream.
A major issue with Anthem was that it didn’t suit the BioWare teams who were used to making single-player games. BioWare had built its reputation on offline titles like Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, Jade Empire, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. While Mass Effect 3 had a fun co-op mode, it wasn’t central to what the studio was known for.
Highguard is a strange situation – it’s unusual to see a game so close to launch remain largely under the radar. While its trailer at the Game Awards was intended to build excitement, it actually left many viewers confused and unimpressed. Most of what was shown felt uninspired and forgettable, drawing comparisons to the previously unsuccessful game, Concord – a worrying sign, according to online discussions.
Netflix is releasing the live-action series One Piece: Into the Grand Line in late March, and they’ve just dropped a new trailer!

Marvel movies have often taken liberties with the original comic book stories, and sometimes these changes have been surprisingly good. Many of the most memorable movie twists happen when filmmakers deliberately stray from what fans expect based on the comics, and these departures can actually enhance the story or a character, offering improvements over the source material.
DC Comics isn’t always consistent, but when they hit on a great idea, it’s truly special. That’s certainly true of 52, their most ambitious comic book ever. Following the Infinite Crisis storyline, all of DC’s comics jumped forward one year. While those titles continued with new beginnings, 52 filled in the missing year, telling the story of what happened during that time. What made 52 unique was its real-time format and weekly release schedule, which continued for a full year – an incredibly demanding pace. Even more impressive is the consistently high quality of the story. To this day, 52 remains a landmark achievement for DC and had a significant impact on the entire comic book industry, and here’s a look at why.
During the recent Xbox Two Podcast, reporter Jez Corden revealed that Ninja Theory, the developers behind the Hellblade series, are now working on a new installment. Corden stated that their previously announced game, Project: Mara, has been cancelled in favor of continuing the Hellblade saga. While details are limited, Corden expects this new game to be more focused on interactive gameplay than its predecessors. He also mentioned that the official title may not be Hellblade 3, but it will definitely be set in the same world.
We’ve all made three predictions about the next year. Some are serious thoughts about the future of the industry, while others are simply hopes for games we’d love to play – but it’s all in good fun, really.
Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Samurai Jack, delivers Primal, a visually stunning animated series set in the earliest days of life on Earth. The show follows an unexpected friendship between a caveman and a dinosaur, both facing extinction. They connect through shared hardship and become each other’s only chance for survival as their world falls apart. Despite minimal dialogue, Primal is a powerfully emotional story about loss and the struggle to overcome devastating circumstances.
Horror fans have been waiting for a good scare, and it looks like one is finally coming! The first trailer for the new Mummy remake is here, and it’s generating a lot of excitement.
