As we anticipate the upcoming Marvel’s Wolverine game, it’s worth considering which characters Marvel frequently features in its video games. Spider-Man has consistently appeared in games over the years, while characters like Iron Man and Daredevil have only recently gained prominence in games thanks to their increased popularity from movies and TV shows. Now, with one Marvel property experiencing a resurgence thanks to a successful animated series revival, it feels like the perfect time for a game starring one of the company’s classic heroes.

The fourth episode of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, titled “Gloves Off,” has received some of the best reviews of the series so far after premiering on Disney+. Many viewers believe it’s a pivotal episode that will be remembered as one of the best in Daredevil history, and possibly even across all Marvel television shows.

Great news for PlayStation fans! Forza Horizon 6 is coming to PS5 just a few months after its release on Xbox and PC in May. It seems like the game will offer a brand new experience for everyone.

The trailer for State of Decay 3 shown recently was based on very early ideas for the game, not what the final version will actually look like. This is common in game development – many studios show preliminary concepts. While these cinematic trailers can be fun to watch, players are getting increasingly annoyed when they don’t accurately represent the game itself.

The popular Prime Video series The Boys is concluding with its fifth and final season, which premiered with two episodes on April 8th. Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, the show follows a group of heroes dedicated to uncovering and taking down the corrupt superheroes controlled by the powerful Vought International. It’s consistently been one of Prime Video’s biggest hits, boasting a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and recently climbing back into the top 8 most-watched shows in the U.S. ahead of the new season.

As a huge DC fan, I’ve been following all the casting news, and one role has been particularly shrouded in mystery: Maxima, the queen of Almerac. There’s been a lot of buzz about who might play her. This morning, Deadline reported that Marisa Abela, Adria Arjona, and Ella Purnell had all auditioned for the part. We all know actors testing for roles is standard procedure, so it seemed like an announcement could be coming soon. But James Gunn quickly shut that down, calling the report completely false and saying it was just bad information.

Many superhero teams have been forgotten over time. But with a fresh start from DC, these groups of crime fighters could easily become popular and well-known.

The new anime series Daemons of the Shadow Realm, based on a manga by Fullmetal Alchemist creator Hiromu Arakawa, premiered this Spring and has already made a splash. The first episode featured a surprising twist that immediately grabbed viewers’ attention. We’ll break down all the spoilers ahead, but be warned – read on at your own risk if you haven’t seen it yet!

Recently, independently made games with detailed, hand-drawn animation have become very popular, with titles like Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hades 2, and Blue Prince leading the way. While many exciting games are planned for release later this year, 2025 is already seeing a wave of gorgeous, shorter indie games. Early previews of the newest releases on the Switch 2 and other consoles are receiving rave reviews, particularly for their detailed and immersive worlds.

Fox is a key character, especially considering he first appeared outside of the Mario universe in his own series, Star Fox. This makes us wonder which other Nintendo franchises would translate well to film. Fox, like Yoshi, has strong potential, and his inclusion here likely aims to pave the way for his own movie. It leaves us thinking about other possibilities, too.
