Brandon Sanderson has long been open to a video game based on his Mistborn series. A project with Little Orbit even started in 2012, but it was ultimately cancelled. He explained that for about six or seven years, the rights to create a game were connected to the rights for a potential Mistborn movie, which complicated things.
I’ve played this game for over 100 hours now, which is usually enough to experience everything most games have to offer. However, with Where Winds Meet, I feel like I’ve only just begun to explore its world, even though I’m actively trying to uncover all of its content. It’s remarkable – how does a free-to-play game manage to compete with much larger, more expensive titles?
The developer recently released a guide demonstrating the core combat mechanics. It covers different weapon types, such as the Halberd and new Dual Blades, and introduces Forma – powerful abilities that can be used for both defense and offense, even including long-range attacks. Forma requires Ichor to function, and you can obtain Ichor by using ‘Jails’. Activate Jails by pressing or holding the R2 button to drain enemies, causing substantial damage and replenishing your Ichor supply.
A common criticism of Phases 4 through 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is that compelling characters are introduced but then don’t reappear in later films. Upcoming movies Doomsday and Secret Wars aim to address this. For example, Shang-Chi hasn’t been seen since his 2021 film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Simu Liu, who plays Shang-Chi, had already been confirmed to be in Avengers: Doomsday, and he recently told PEOPLE that he will also return for Secret Wars.
In season 5, episode 5 of Stranger Things (“Shock Jock”), Kali (Linnea Berthelsen) shares details about her escape from Dr. Kay’s lab, including discovering a lab filled with pregnant women in the Upside Down. This raised questions about whether those women were harmed when the heroes destroyed the Upside Down. However, according to a recent interview with The Wrap, the Duffer brothers clarified that the women had already died because Kali’s blood powers didn’t work on them.

From the very beginning of Sega, Rosen, along with founders Marty Bromley, Ray Lamaire, and Dick Dodderer, played a key role in shaping the video game world. The company started as Service Game, focusing on arcade-style entertainment, and later simplified its name to Sega.
The upcoming DCU movie was initially going to be called Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, but it’s now simply titled Supergirl. Some fans were surprised by the change, but James Gunn recently clarified the film’s direction in an interview with Variety, which explains the decision. Gunn stated they aren’t directly adapting the Woman of Tomorrow storyline, but rather using elements of it for the movie’s tone, structure, and overall approach. This builds on previous statements where Gunn expressed his desire to move away from typical superhero movie titles.
Season 3 of Primal could have easily gone wrong – it brings back the main character, Spear, from the dead, forcing him to wander as a cursed undead being. However, instead of feeling like a desperate attempt to keep the show going, this season is surprisingly creative, fun, and emotionally powerful. It tells another necessary story in a way that feels both natural and fitting, making it the best season of Primal so far, despite its supernatural premise.
