Wizards of the Coast began by discussing their existing world, *Lorwyn Eclipsed*, and previewed the upcoming *Secrets of Strixhaven* set. They also hinted at another *Universes Beyond* collaboration, though details are still to come. The next *Magic: The Gathering* set based on Marvel will be called *Marvel Super Heroes* and is scheduled to release in June 2026.
As a huge fan of Metroidvanias, I’m not surprised to see *Hades*, *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, *Hollow Knight*, and *Hades II* dominating the Nintendo Switch eShop charts right now! But what really caught my eye is seeing *Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition* at number five, and *Ori and the Will of the Wisps* right behind *Stardew Valley* at number seven. Both *Ori* games have been available on Switch for a while – *Blind Forest* since 2019 and *Will of the Wisps* since 2020 – and it turns out they’re both on sale right now. That explains why everyone’s grabbing them!
Disney+’s most popular show is no longer *Alien: Earth*. Marvel’s new animated series, *Marvel Zombies*, has taken the top spot, according to data from FlixPatrol. This series, a spin-off from *Marvel’s What If…?*, is a big change for Marvel Studios, offering a more mature, violent show with plenty of gore and intense death scenes involving the Avengers. Early numbers suggest *Marvel Zombies* is proving to be very popular with viewers.
Makena White, the girlfriend of a PGA Tour golfer, passed away on September 26th, according to a post on her Instagram account. She was 28 years old.
Moody’s, with the solemnity of a funeral director, explains how stablecoins-those 1:1 tokens tethered to fiat, like a dog to its leash-could unravel central banks’ grip on interest rates and exchange rates. A masterstroke of irony, really: people trade their savings for digital tokens, then blame the central bankers for the mess. 🙃
…Well, kind of.
The Public Investment Fund (PIF), backed by Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, is a significant investor in several major game companies, including Capcom, Embracer Group, and Nintendo. Prince Salman also owns SNK, the publisher of games like Fatal Fury and King of Fighters, through his non-profit organization, the MiSK Foundation.
Salman has been actively working to increase Saudi Arabia’s presence in the global entertainment industry, successfully securing the rights to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034. He also played a key role in the PIF’s acquisition of Newcastle United Football Club in 2021.
However, it’s important to note that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency reported in 2018 that Salman ordered the assassination of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi that year. Subsequent reporting by The New York Times in 2019 detailed alleged efforts by the Saudi Arabian government to cover up the killing and destroy evidence.
The project’s meteoric rise? Fueled by Season 2 of its points program-a spectacle so addictive even Oscar Wilde’s ghost might trade his quill for a crypto wallet. Endorsements from Changpeng Zhao, a gentleman whose previous employment involved a rather public tango with the SEC, certainly didn’t hurt. 🕺🎩
Ellen DeGeneres recently honored Tayt Andersen, a frequent guest on her talk show, who passed away on September 26th at the age of 19. His family shared that his death followed a worsening infection as he bravely fought cancer.
