A social media user named Radec speculated that Bloober Team might be hinting at a remake of the game Rule of Rose, calling it “insane” if true. However, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno quickly dismissed the rumor, stating on LinkedIn, “Nice guess, but no. It definitely doesn’t refer to any remake.”
Before the release of Avengers: Doomsday, season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will continue the story of Wilson Fisk’s control over New York City.

As a huge fan of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, I’m excited to share that the fourth episode of season one is dropping early on HBO Max this Friday, February 6th, at 12:01 am Pacific Time / 3:01 am Eastern. Just a heads-up, this early release is only for streaming. If you’re watching on regular HBO, it’ll still air on Sunday night as usual. The reason for the change? It’s all about the Super Bowl! With the big game happening on Sunday, HBO wants to make sure their shows don’t get lost in the shuffle. And good news for Industry fans too – the fifth episode of season four is also getting a Friday release on HBO Max at the same time as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
This three-minute film shows a mother’s experience in Raccoon City on the day the zombie outbreak begins. Actress Maika Monroe, known for her roles in It Follows and Longlegs, plays the mother. The film ties into the story of Resident Evil Requiem, which revisits Raccoon City after it was destroyed by bombs. You can watch the short film here.
ComicBook received an exclusive first look at concept art from The Art of Star Wars: The Acolyte, revealing designs for key scenes in the first episode. The art showcases the planet Ueda, including a location inspired by the iconic Mos Eisley cantina. Interestingly, early designs for the character Mae depict her wearing dark red robes, clearly signaling her connection to the Sith, which is a different look than her final appearance.
When it first came out, Dragon Quest VII was known for being a very long and substantial game, though it started slowly. Having played it, I can confirm it’s still a massive adventure, and revisiting the islands and their stories is a joy. Thankfully, Square Enix has sped up the beginning in Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, and this improved pace continues throughout the game. My only minor criticisms are that the characters could be more diverse visually, and the camera doesn’t always show off the world as well as I’d like. However, these don’t take away from what is still one of my favorite RPGs.
It’s really puzzling trying to figure out what’s going on in Tales from ’85. As a fan, I always thought when they closed the gate to the Upside Down, everything on that side should have died, cut off from the Mind Flayer. But Season 5 showed us Hawkins Lab was doing way more shady stuff than we knew, so maybe they were experimenting on things right when they shut the place down. Maybe some of those experiments survived and got loose. Hopper says in the trailer, “These woods hide a lot of mistakes,” and that feels so true! I’m just left wondering what these new monsters are, and what other secrets are hidden out there.
Even though My Hero Academia: Vigilantes doesn’t always get the spotlight, the next episode promises to be a standout. The series has consistently featured Shota Aizawa, a pro hero who frequently interacts with Koichi Haimawari and the other vigilantes. Now, fans will finally get a detailed look into Aizawa’s past as a student, with a major story arc debuting in the next episode. Check out the trailer and poster for a sneak peek!
