However, each of these decisions actually has significant negative consequences. It harms companies, is devastating for the developers who work on these projects, and ultimately disappoints players. The recent closing of TiMi Montreal is a good example. While the studio hadn’t released a game since its founding in 2020, the closure is still unfortunate for everyone involved and points to a larger problem within the gaming industry.

The recent release of Pokémon Pokopia, a game made by a studio other than Game Freak, suggests that The Pokémon Company is now more willing to let other developers work on the Pokémon franchise and experiment with new ideas. This got me thinking about which of Pokémon’s best spin-off games deserve a comeback – either through a sequel, a remake, or even just an updated version. For me, and I suspect many longtime Pokémon fans, the answer is Pokémon Colosseum. It’s a classic that still feels surprisingly fresh and inventive, often more so than many of the games Game Freak is currently producing.

The recent announcement from the animation studio has generated a lot of excitement. WIT Studio, responsible for the first three seasons and the anime’s overall look, shared a post suggesting they’re working on something new. The image shows the main characters dressed up and posing like models, with the caption “Coming Soon.” While some fans think it might be for new merchandise, many believe it hints at a bigger project, possibly a spin-off series.

Although Season 3 of Smiling Friends finished airing on Adult Swim last year, creators Michael Cusack and Zach Hadel recently announced that two more episodes were completed but hadn’t been released yet.

The Netflix series Firebreak, starring Belén Cuesta, Diana Gómez, and Joaquín Furriel, follows Mara as she takes her daughter and family to their summer home in the woods after her husband passes away. They hope to mend relationships and sell the property, but their plans are disrupted when Mara’s daughter, Lide, goes missing amidst a rapidly spreading forest fire. Cut off from outside help, the family desperately searches the woods for Lide, turning to the local forest ranger, Santi, for assistance. However, as the situation intensifies, suspicion rises, and they begin to question everything around them.

The quick success of The Bluff highlights how much audiences miss the Pirates of the Caribbean series, which has been on hold for a while. When Disney released The Curse of the Black Pearl in 2003, it turned a potentially risky theme park ride into a huge blockbuster, earning billions and changing the kinds of movies Hollywood made. For over ten years, the adventures of Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, were a global hit and heavily influenced pop culture. However, surprisingly, no other studio managed to create a similar, long-lasting success with pirate-themed movies. Even more unexpectedly, Disney let the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise lose momentum after 2017’s Dead Men Tell No Tales. Although there’s been talk of a new movie or a fresh start for the series, it hasn’t moved forward, and now other studios are proving that pirate stories can still be popular and profitable.

Necrophosis is a mind-bending psychological horror game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Originally released on PC in April 2025, the game quickly gained a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam thanks to its intriguing puzzles and mysterious story. Now, the developers at Dragonis Games are teaming up with PQube to bring a complete edition of Necrophosis, including new downloadable content, to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Hideaki Sorachi, the creator of Gintama, debuted in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 2002 with a short story called Dandelion. While it wasn’t developed into a full series at the time, Netflix recently announced a new anime series based on this one-shot, premiering this April. Sorachi jokingly responded to the news, saying it seems Netflix isn’t concerned with preserving older works with care.

Some Justice League teams reflect the grim realities of their worlds. For example, the Justice League of Assassins became more ruthless due to their harsh environment, and the Titans from the ‘Titans Tomorrow’ future adopted more extreme tactics to take the League’s place. These teams aren’t inherently evil, but they’ve likely crossed lines the main Justice League wouldn’t. Keep reading to explore 7 of the most compelling dark Justice League teams and find out which one is the most unique.

I’m really determined to find the perfect MMO for me, one that fits what I’m looking for, especially being able to play it completely on my own. I struggle with social anxiety and depression, which makes it hard to invest the huge amount of time and social interaction most MMOs require. Thankfully, I’ve found an MMO that actually solves this problem, and addresses my other concerns with the genre. It’s called Erenshor, and it’s designed for single-player offline play – and it’s fantastic.
