Pokémon Go often marks April Fool’s Day with special in-game happenings. In the past, they’ve turned Pokémon into pixel art, flooded the game with Pidgey, and even made Pokémon look like Poké Balls. This year, it seems they’re finally adding a highly requested Pokémon, but in disguise! As with previous April Fool’s events, Niantic hasn’t officially announced it on their website yet, so many players are taking the news with a grain of salt.

The anime series based on the light novel Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian first aired in 2024 and was quickly renewed for a second season. Although initially planned for release in 2026, Season 2 has faced delays. Now, a new trailer has been released, confirming the show will premiere in 2027. You can watch it below.

With improvements to the original Nintendo Switch, the new Switch 2 is making it possible to bring updated games to the console. Nintendo is adding both new titles like the latest Metroid and Pokemon games, and popular recent releases such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Hades 2. The upcoming game scheduled for March 31, 2026, continues this trend of expanding the Switch 2’s library, and it doesn’t look like Nintendo will be stopping anytime soon.

South of Midnight is a solid 12-hour game, but it doesn’t really offer anything new in terms of gameplay. What does make it special is its incredible visual and audio design – it’s so beautiful and well-crafted that it’s still a compelling experience, even with familiar gameplay.

According to Jason Schreier, a well-known and trustworthy source, the cancelled game was a completely new project that faced many difficulties during development. He shared these details in a Reddit post.

The Spell Brigade first launched in Early Access for PC on September 16, 2024.

The project would follow a man and a girl journeying across a ruined America, similar to the story in The Last of Us. What’s particularly interesting is the creator’s reference to the limited number of safe places left on their journey.

Currently, only a few film franchises feel truly vibrant: Star Wars, John Wick, the ongoing Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and the recently rebooted DC Universe (DCU). However, many believe the MonsterVerse is actually in the best shape of all these shared universes. And for those who’ve been following it since the beginning, its success wasn’t always a sure thing.

In a recent interview with Screen Rant, actor Keith Hudson talked about joining the cast of Toy Story 5. He shared that he’d always loved the films and wished he’d been asked to participate earlier. He’d worked with several people involved in the franchise, like Carl Weathers, Annie Potts, and Tom Hanks, but was surprised to learn after recording his part that Carl Weathers had previously voiced the character Combat Carl. Hudson suspects the filmmakers wanted him to create his own unique take on the role, rather than imitate Weathers. He hopes fans enjoy his performance and is eager to hear what they think, especially considering his long friendship with the late Carl Weathers.
