The PlayStation Blog announced that new modes and features are on the way, offering players fresh challenges and rewards. While the specifics of this new content haven’t been revealed yet, the PS5 version will be updated to support ultrawide monitors, including a 21:9 aspect ratio for both gameplay and cutscenes.
Early signs suggest the new project may move away from a key element of the original books: focusing the story through Harry’s eyes. While the books aren’t narrated by Harry himself—they’re told in the third person—we usually experience everything from his perspective. The novels rarely show us events he doesn’t witness, with the exception of a few instances, like the opening chapters of some books, or moments where the story needs to show something Harry couldn’t have known, such as scenes from the Quidditch stands in The Philosopher’s Stone.
For the next 11 days, Xbox players (on Xbox One, Series S, and Series X) can get their hands on XCOM 2, a turn-based strategy game from Firaxis and 2K Games. XCOM 2 is a sequel to the critically acclaimed XCOM: Enemy Unknown from 2012, which successfully revived the classic XCOM series. While not quite as highly rated as the first game, XCOM 2 was still one of the best strategy games of 2016, earning an 88 on Metacritic and a nomination for Best Strategy Game at The Game Awards (though it lost to Civilization VI, also by Firaxis).
In the past, on consoles like the PlayStation 1 and 2, this would have been a nice extra. Now, some fans are really angry that you have to unlock it by playing the game first.

Despite working with many people, Kurt Russell was actually John Carpenter’s most frequent and successful collaborator. However, not all of the five films they made together were equally strong.
The comic book event Crisis on Infinite Earths dramatically reshaped the DC Universe, including the history of the Justice League. Originally, Wonder Woman was a founding member, but Crisis altered that. After the event, Wonder Woman didn’t appear until later, requiring a new origin story for the League. It wasn’t until 1998, in the comic JLA: Year One by Mark Waid, Bryan Augustyn, and Barry Kitson, that readers finally saw the complete postCrisis* origin. This version masterfully blended the team’s past and present, providing a satisfying and cohesive history.
Anime rivalries vary greatly depending on the story, but they almost always lead to exciting and emotionally resonant battles. While they might not get as much attention as famous fights from series like Naruto or Dragon Ball, these conflicts are often among the best anime has to offer.
