You can also look forward to exciting indie and third-party games. We’re likely to see titles like Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, possibly with a release date, and fresh gameplay for Saros, which is coming out in April. Marvel’s Wolverine is a bit more uncertain, as Insomniac usually starts promoting their games closer to their release.

It’s clear why Lucasfilm is taking a page from the Lilo & Stitch playbook. That movie earned over $1 billion worldwide, and the recent Super Bowl ad generated a record-breaking 173.1 million views in just one day. I first wondered if the marketing just wasn’t meant for me – the film seems aimed at Gen Z, and I’m not a big sports fan, so the ad didn’t really resonate. But I don’t think that’s the issue. I believe this marketing approach is simply flawed.

What sets the anime Oshi no Ko apart is its grounding in realistic and often disturbing aspects of the entertainment world. The third season, now available on Crunchyroll (not Netflix), initially focuses on Ruby’s quest to find Ai’s killer, with Aqua playing a less central role. However, the latest episode dramatically shifts the focus back to Aqua and unveils a shocking truth about their mother, Ai.

League of Legends boasts a roster of around 170 characters, while 2XKO currently has just 12. While fighting game limitations might make it difficult to include huge or fantastical characters, the inclusion of champions like Teemo shows that developers are willing to push those boundaries. The team behind 2XKO plans to add at least five new characters each year with each new Season, suggesting they already have a clear idea of who they want to add to the game.

Professor Binns, played by Richard Durden, was previously confirmed to appear, filling the gap left by the omission of History of Magic lessons in the films. Additionally, Johnny Flynn is set to play Lucius Malfoy in Season 1, even though he wasn’t introduced until the second book, The Chamber of Secrets. Now, we’re getting more details about both of these additions, and it clarifies why Lucius Malfoy is appearing so early. Lox Pratt, the new actor playing Draco Malfoy, recently told 1883 Magazine that filming is taking place at Malfoy Manor and will delve into the personal lives of the professors. Here’s his full statement:

Paramount+ has been adding a lot of movies lately, and one older film is surprisingly gaining popularity. Released in 2023, the action thriller Due Justice, starring Kellan Lutz, initially received poor reviews and didn’t attract much attention. However, after being added to Paramount+ over the weekend, it quickly became a hit, landing in the top 10 most-watched movies in the US, according to FlixPatrol.

Here is an overview of the game, via Grasshopper Manufacture:

The latest game coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one is Menace, a new sci-fi RPG developed by Overhype Studios and published by Hooded Horse. This is Overhype Studios’ second game and their first release since 2017’s Battle Brothers, a highly-rated tactical RPG. While Battle Brothers was set in a fantasy world, Menace takes place in a sci-fi setting, but it still shares the same turn-based tactical gameplay. Early signs suggest Overhype Studios has delivered another quality game.

A recent investigation, initially shared on X by the Kermitment Muppets podcast, suggests Disney may have used AI to create extra parts of the promotional images for the new Muppet Show. The report points out noticeable differences between the standard, wide-screen promotional image and the taller version seen on many digital platforms.
