Today, April 1st, kicks off the last ranked battle season for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. This marks the end of official competitive seasons for these games, which have been the main focus for ranked play since they came out in 2022. Ranked battles will continue in Pokémon Legends: Z-A for now, at least through Season 9, ending around April 23rd. However, with the upcoming release of Pokémon Champions, this final season in Scarlet and Violet could be a particularly significant end to an era.

Spoiler Alert: If you haven’t seen the fifth episode of Invincible Season Four, be warned – this contains spoilers! Tech Jacket first appeared in Image Comics back in 2002, even before Mark Grayson was introduced. Though not as well-known as Omni-Man’s son, creator Robert Kirkman later added Tech Jacket to the Invincible comic series, establishing him as a powerful ally in the fight against the Viltrumites. The recent episode of the animated show revealed a significant change: Tech Jacket is now “Zoey Thompson” instead of “Zack Thompson,” meaning the character has been gender-swapped. You can see a picture of the new version of the hero below.

With Daredevil back on screen in season two of Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel is quickly following up with a new comic series. Writer Stephanie Phillips (known for Planet She-Hulk and Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider) and artist Lee Garbett (Strange, Groot) are teaming up to tell the next chapter in Matt Murdock’s story. As a longtime Daredevil fan, I was excited for this new series, and I’m pleased to say the first issue sets a great path forward for the character.

Haste first launched for PC via Steam on April 1, 2025.

The game Content Warning initially became available on PC through Steam on April 1st, 2024, as a free download for one day. Despite being free for a limited time, it still sold over 2.2 million copies, and now has more than 8.8 million players.

Story

Okay, so the game’s been getting some buzz again, which is great. But I’ve been seeing a lot of people online talking about how it’s kinda slow to get going, and even after 20+ hours in the world, it still doesn’t really grab them. I don’t totally agree, but I get where they’re coming from. It got me thinking about how we judge open-world games these days, and what makes a good start. It’s interesting to consider why someone might feel that way after putting in so much time.

Beyond its great weapons, compelling story, and interesting locations, Crimson Desert has some hidden gameplay features that aren’t immediately obvious. If you’re concerned you might have overlooked something helpful, we’ve got you covered.
