The last few years have shown us that beloved game franchises are surprisingly resilient. While technically a prequel, *Gears of War: E-Day* is bringing back the horror elements fans loved in the original games. Despite the troubled development of *Fable Legends*, a new *Fable* game from Playground Games seems more likely than ever, though details are still scarce. Even *Metal Gear Solid* and *Silent Hill*, once considered finished series after Konami’s shift in focus, have seen a resurgence with impressive remakes and the new *Silent Hill f* game.

Game Freak deserves praise for not simply repeating the formula that made *Legends Arceus* successful. They could have easily created a similar game set in a new location with new areas, creatures, and improved features, but they chose not to take the easy path.

With a Metacritic score of 95, *Hades 2* is currently the highest-rated game of the year. After years of anticipation, Supergiant Games has delivered a fantastic sequel. Reviewers are raving about its smooth combat, compelling story, and richer take on mythology. While *Hades 2* is a strong contender for Game of the Year in 2025, several other excellent games are also in the running.

Despite his immense power, the young superheroes in *Gen V* might not be enough to defeat Godolkin. However, in an interview with *Variety* back in July, showrunner Eric Fazekas hinted that a seemingly minor character with an unusual ability could be crucial to his downfall. Fans on *Reddit* have been speculating about who this could be, and many believe it might be Stacey Ferrera (also known as Stacey McGunnigle), a support staff member at God U who has powers related to bees, and who could unintentionally be the one to defeat him.

The popular series *Magic Knight Rayearth* by CLAMP follows three girls who are magically transported from modern Japan to a fantastical world. Their mission: to save a princess! The series was known for its unique mix of magic and mecha elements, creating a fresh experience for fans. Now, *Magic Knight Rayearth* is getting a brand new anime adaptation next year, and a first look at the revival has just been released.

Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of the *Final Fantasy VII Remake* trilogy, recently told ScreenRant that *Part 3* will be shorter than *Final Fantasy VII Rebirth*. While *Rebirth* received a lot of positive feedback, its length—much longer than the original *Remake*—was a point of discussion for some players, who preferred the shorter 30-35 hour playtime of the first game. Hamaguchi says the team will aim for a slightly more streamlined experience with the final game, though he personally doesn’t think *Rebirth* felt overly long.

Stevie Nicks shared her excitement on Twitter (now X) when the Barbie doll was first released, saying it meant a lot to her. More recently, she hinted at a special announcement coming soon, posting a teaser image and promising more details in two weeks.
