In 2023, Insomniac Games released Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation 5, building on the popularity of Marvel’s Spider-Man and Miles Morales. While some players had criticisms of the sequel, many are optimistic that the developers will address these concerns as they work on a darker, more mature game featuring Marvel’s Wolverine. Although Insomniac has confirmed they’re actively working on both games, only a single trailer has been released so far, offering a glimpse into their current projects.

Comic book covers need to be eye-catching to encourage sales. The Flash comics have always succeeded at this thanks to their imaginative artwork and dynamic action, making them some of the most recognizable and influential covers in comic book history.

Look, Mike Flanagan has really established himself as the go-to director for Stephen King stories, and I’m excited about his latest projects. However, both of them are facing some significant challenges. They’re different kinds of problems, to be sure, but challenges nonetheless, and I’m curious to see how he navigates them.

Marines have a unique idea of justice and aren’t afraid to defend it, even if it means facing criticism from pirates or even their own allies. The most compelling Marine characters aren’t necessarily perfect – they’re the ones who help you understand the purpose of the Marines, despite all the flaws and problems within the organization.

Callum Vinson, who you may recognize from Long Bright River and the Chucky TV show, will play the character.

A source told Kotaku that developers working on Horizon 3 were shifted to assist with Hunters Gathering. This is reminiscent of what happened at BioWare, where the Dragon Age team was moved to work on Anthem. Another source suggests the sequel might not be released for three to five years.

I’ve spent countless hours battling fierce demons in Nioh 2 with my Tonfa and Switchglaives, and I was excited to see what Nioh 3 offered. It’s not just the new ways to defeat enemies; the game keeps you on edge because a single mistake can ruin an otherwise perfect run. Every fight feels high-stakes.

I’ve been playing Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties on the PS5, putting in over 10 hours on the main game and 3+ hours on Dark Ties. In Kiwami 3, I spent a lot of time exploring Okinawa, learning the new combat system, and trying out the side activities. With Dark Ties, I was more focused on the main story. It’s important to know that Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dark Ties are essentially separate games with their own saves and progress. I’d suggest finishing Kiryu’s story in Kiwami 3 before starting Dark Ties because Mine’s story contains spoilers. Given how twisty Yakuza games can be, I won’t reveal anything about the plot beyond the early parts.

The biggest shock of the night was Marvel Studios completely sitting out the Super Bowl. This was a major departure from their usual strategy, as they’ve shared trailers or clips at the event every year since 2010 – often for big movies like Deadpool & Wolverine or new Disney+ shows. This year, there was nothing, and fans noticed! However, Marvel and Disney have now announced they’re looking ahead to next year’s Super Bowl, which will be broadcast on ABC, and are already starting to generate excitement.
