The Black Bolt & Triton two-pack is currently scheduled to be available for pre-order starting at 1pm Eastern Time on October 16th. It’s still unclear if it will be released at the same time as the Medusa & Gorgon set, which is also expected to launch at 1pm ET on October 21st. Either way, you can find pre-orders at Entertainment Earth and Amazon on both dates.
We’re starting to see major games like *Cyberpunk 2077*, *Star Wars Outlaws*, and *Hogwarts Legacy* appear on the Nintendo Switch 2, and *Assassin’s Creed Shadows* could be next. These games were originally designed for more powerful consoles, so it’s impressive the Switch 2 can run them, especially considering it needs to be affordable. While there are some compromises, the Switch 2 looks like a good option for playing big third-party titles on the go, and its game selection is about to get even bigger with a potential addition of one of this year’s most anticipated releases.
This year’s *Treehouse of Horror* – the thirty-third installment of *The Simpsons*’ Halloween specials – continues the tradition of clever parodies. Season 34’s episode playfully reimagined both *The Babadook* and elements of *The Simpsons* itself. However, the highlight was a full-length take on *Death Note*. This segment was particularly impressive, featuring animation styled after the original *Death Note* anime and even involving some of the same studio that worked on the beloved series years ago. It was a truly fantastic and creative piece.
Okay, so everyone’s buzzing about whether Tom Hiddleston will be back as Loki in *Avengers: Doomsday*, and honestly, I really hope he is! After his Disney+ series, he’s not just the god of mischief anymore – he’s basically in charge of the *entire* multiverse, which is a huge deal. It feels right that he’d show up, though we have no idea *how* yet. But there’s a rumor going around that Loki might be assembling his own team for the movie, and someone made some fan art showing what that team could look like – it’s pretty awesome and has me even more excited!
In late 2022, Hoyoverse announced they were entering the anime world with an adaptation of their popular game, *Genshin Impact*, to be produced by Ufotable. This makes sense, as *Genshin Impact*’s characters and environments have always had a strong anime aesthetic. Earlier this year, fans got a taste of what a *Genshin Impact* anime might look like with the release of a short film called *Memories of This Life*, also created by Ufotable. This short offers a preview of the style and quality to expect from the full series.
Just a heads-up: the Assassin’s Creed series, along with Far Cry and Rainbow Six, is now being developed by a new team called Vantage Studios. This team is built from existing groups within Ubisoft.
Frank Grillo joined the DC Universe in 2024 by voicing Rick Flag Sr. in the animated series *Creature Commandos*. As the father of the late Rick Flag Jr. (from *The Suicide Squad*), the older Rick Flag led Task Force M in *Creature Commandos* and later became the new director of ARGUS in *Superman* (July 2025). Grillo continued in the role for season 2 of *Peacemaker*, but the character’s story arc was uneven, and a shift in his personality has left some viewers puzzled.
The Seven, led by the powerful Homelander, are the world’s first responders to any crisis, from natural disasters to public relations nightmares. But the team isn’t made up of equally skilled heroes. Here’s a ranking of each member of The Seven from *The Boys*, based on their power level.
Born on March 18, 1947, in Oregon City, Oregon, Drew Struzan always had a passion for art, which led him to study at the ArtCenter College of Design in California. Before becoming well-known for his movie poster work, he designed album covers for popular artists like the Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, and Black Sabbath. In the 1970s, he started a company called Pencil Pushers and began creating movie posters. His talent caught the attention of Charles White III, who then hired Struzan to create a poster for the re-release of the original Star Wars film.
Pokémon Go recently announced a major update to its leveling system, which will launch on October 15th. Niantic, the game’s developer, shared details about the new level cap, how player levels will be adjusted, and new rewards. They also introduced Daily Adventure Eggs. However, recent discoveries from data mining have revealed how much experience will be needed to level up, and players aren’t very happy about it.
