Netflix recently raised prices again, and unlike last time—when the increase was linked to adding live TV—they haven’t explained why this time. Customers are frustrated with the constant price increases and the removal of features like phone casting. Now, other streaming services are playfully poking fun at the situation online, using memes and social media to highlight the issue—a strategy clearly driven by a savvy millennial marketing team.

Two Nintendo Switch games are being removed, one of which is Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Originally released in 2021, it only came to the Switch in 2023 as a cloud-based game. This means even though it has some offline content, the Switch version always required an internet connection. Now, the game is being removed from the eShop and will become unplayable shortly after its three-year anniversary on August 5th. It’s being delisted because the servers are shutting down, but the reason for this isn’t clear. Cold Iron Studios hasn’t explained why, though it likely comes down to the cost of maintaining the servers being higher than the game’s profits on Switch, or a licensing issue that wasn’t worth renewing.

Readers should consider March 30, 2026, as the current release date. However, there’s a discrepancy: while recent official announcements indicate a July 2, 2026, release, PM Studios’ website still lists June 19, 2026. This means the publisher’s site hasn’t been updated with the latest information, and it would be inaccurate to present a definitive date. Currently, the most precise way to state it is that official marketing materials and storefronts now show July 2, 2026, but one of the publisher’s pages still shows the older, incorrect date.

With news about Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3’s release date and gameplay still forthcoming, it’s fun to speculate about what the new game might include. I’m particularly hoping to see the return of the open-world activities that were a key part of the excellent Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Although some players didn’t enjoy these activities in Rebirth, I found them incredibly charming and really added to the game’s appeal, making it the fantastic JRPG that it is.

Since its anime adaptation began in 2022, The Eminence in Shadow has become incredibly popular with fans. However, the second season unexpectedly ended with news that a third season wouldn’t be made – instead, a movie is planned! A new trailer and poster for The Eminence in Shadow: Lost Echoes were just revealed at AnimeJapan 2026, and you can watch the trailer and see the poster below.

With so many landmark films in the decade, here is a look at the best sci-fi movies of the 1970s.

The popular miniatures game, Batman: Gotham City Chronicles, is entering its fourth season with a new star: Absolute Batman. Monolith is bringing Batman’s world from the Absolute Universe to the tabletop later this year through a Gamefound crowdfunding campaign. Players will be able to control iconic characters like Batman, Alfred Pennyworth, and Black Mask in battles fought on a unique, three-level vertical battlefield, recreating the atmosphere of Gotham City. You can stay updated on the campaign here.

Currently, sales figures are around 1.2 million copies, and a source within the studio has confirmed this is a reasonable estimate. However, a concerning point is that only about 19% of those sales were for the PlayStation 5.

Here are seven animated TV shows that are consistently excellent throughout their entire run. I’ve focused on shows with multiple seasons because it’s harder to keep quality high over a long period. While many shows could be included, these seven stand out as having exceptionally strong seasons from start to finish.

It’s been a year since the cast for Avengers: Doomsday was revealed, and fans were still hoping for a cameo by Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff. However, when asked about upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe projects at C2E2, Olsen admitted she doesn’t have any inside information. She mentioned she knows about VisionQuest because she’s recently seen Paul Bettany, but is completely in the dark about everything else. She even jokingly questioned whether Secret Wars would follow Avengers: Doomsday and seemed confused about the possibility of multiple Secret Wars projects, saying she genuinely didn’t know.
