Originally launched in 2000, Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past isn’t just a simple update. It’s been completely rebuilt, offering a brand new experience within the familiar world fans love.

When Parasite Mutant was announced last year, fans were excited, and now you can get a hands-on experience with a demo before the full game comes to PS5 in 2026. However, the demo is currently only playable on Steam.

People are criticizing the platform for advertising this new game, which is very similar to Resident Evil Village and other games in that series.

The developer previously contributed to the popular games Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, and reports from both Windows Central and Kotaku indicate that a third major installment is now in development.

Fans of the series are expected to love the new game, which brings back Max Caulfield and Chloe Price. The two characters, who were close friends and eventually became romantically involved in the first game, will be reunited.

Silver Palace is coming to consoles, PCs, and mobile devices (iOS and Android). The game doesn’t have a release date yet, but you can find more information about it here.

The initial release of PUBG: BLINDSPOT will focus on the fundamental gameplay. We’ll then regularly update the game to improve how it plays, balance the different classes and weapons, and add more features and content. How long the Early Access period lasts will depend on how development goes and what players think.

Several other popular romantasy novels scheduled for release in 2025 are also being adapted into movies or TV shows. These include Devney Perry’s Shield of Sparrows and Lauren Roberts’ Powerless series, which concluded with Fearless in 2025. If these adaptations are successful, studios and streaming services might invest more heavily in the romantasy genre. There are many other romantasy books fans are eager to see adapted, including several published just last year that would be a natural fit given their stories and how well they’ve been received.

While Crunchyroll doesn’t usually announce its anime releases far in advance, Netflix consistently provides a clear monthly schedule. Netflix has become increasingly involved in anime production as the industry rapidly expands, offering both brand new stories and bringing back popular classic series. So far this January, viewers can enjoy releases like Detective Conan (Collection 3), Pokémon Horizons: Season 3—Rising Hope (Part 1), and Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table (Season 1). And according to What’s on Netflix, there are still six more anticipated anime series set to premiere on the platform this January.
