Here is an overview of the game, via Bonfire Studios:

The companies revealed plans for two new Story Packs, “Loose Cannon” and “The Flower & the Flame.” These packs will let players experience the city of Seattle through the eyes of two different characters: Camarilla Sheriff Benny Muldoon and Primogen Ysabella Moore. Both are scheduled to launch in 2026 and are included with the Expansion Pass in the Premium Edition.

Steam reportedly brought in over a million dollars, contributing to a total revenue of around $150 million. During the week of September 8th to 14th, it appears a game slightly outperformed *Hollow Knight: Silksong* in sales, though *Silksong* still sold over 500,000 copies and now has more than six million players – an increase from its previous player count.

Herman explained that the team had developed a script for the sequel and believed it would surpass the first game. Unfortunately, problems arose during the creation of the game’s cutscenes and animations. This caused development to slow down as Telltale needed more time. As a result, the studio shifted its focus to other projects, such as Dispatch.

We don’t have many specifics yet, but a remake of the 2009 game in the popular action-adventure series makes sense. Though it improved on the two games before it, the English translation wasn’t great, and a lot of optional content was cut. It’s unclear if *Yakuza Kiwami 3* will fix these issues and other problems fans have pointed out, but an announcement coming next week hints that the game will be released soon.

The updated version of the game will include extra quests and activities. It will also have some modern improvements, like seamless transitions from your ship to land – no more loading screens! Plus, content that was cut from the original 2013 release is being added back in. Current plans point to a release in the first six months of 2026, with March as a likely launch month.

Following the tragic passing of actor Chance Perdomo, the creators of *Gen V* chose not to replace his character, Andre Anderson. Instead, they wrote him out of the show. The first episode of Season 2 begins with a dedication to Perdomo, and later reveals that Andre died at Elmira, the prison where he and fellow characters Marie Moreau, Jordan Li, and Emma Meyer were held at the end of Season 1. The series addresses Andre’s death directly, using his story to explore themes of grief and pay tribute to Perdomo throughout the season. (Please be aware that this contains spoilers for the first three episodes of Gen V Season 2.)

For fans of *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*, the current story arc by Aaron and Ferreyra is ending with issue #12, which features a final showdown between the turtles and the mayor of New York. This issue wraps up a challenging period for the heroes, who have faced being torn apart, falsely accused of murder, and even treated as villains. While the finale won’t be available until October, previews of *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles* #13 suggest the turtles will ultimately reunite, overcome their obstacles, and be prepared for future adventures as the heroes we know and love.

Nickelodeon revealed its plans for New York Comic Con 2025, including a reunion of the original voice actors from *Avatar: The Last Airbender* (according to Variety). However, this reunion will be exclusive to attendees of the event, meaning only those present at the convention will be able to witness it. While it’s exciting to see the cast together again, it will be a special experience limited to fans who can attend in person.

Okay, so I just got out of *A Big Bold Beautiful Journey*, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. Right now, it’s sitting at a pretty lukewarm 52% on Rotten Tomatoes. With only 44 reviews in, there isn’t a clear consensus yet, but I’ve been reading through them, and the biggest complaint seems to be that the movie leans *really* hard into sentimentality and doesn’t quite flesh out its ideas. Everyone agrees it *looks* fantastic, but the story itself doesn’t quite live up to the visuals. It feels like it had potential, but didn’t quite stick the landing.
