Netflix is developing a live-action TV series based on Atlus' Persona role-playing game franchise, according to a new report. The series is being developed by production company Story Kitchen, which produces the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise for Sega, and 21 Laps, the production company founded by Shawn Levy (Deadpool & Wolverine, Free Guy), who produced Stranger Things.

The acclaimed Spirited Away stage play is finally coming to North America. After debuting in Tokyo in 2022 and performances in London in 2024, the adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s celebrated anime film is coming back for a 2026-2028 world tour that includes Los Angeles and Toronto.

Ubisoft published a new Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced trailer showcasing how the game looks on PS5 Pro, and it reminded me how these 4K game trailers just don't work on YouTube. And it just makes me wonder why this unappealing method has become the preferred way of showcasing what should be cutting-edge visual capabilities.

Resident Evil Requiem is one of 2026's best-selling and best-reviewed games, and it put returning hero Leon S. Kennedy through the wringer. After fighting his way through a hospital overrun with zombies and braving bus-sized arachnids in Raccoon City, the handsomest man in video games deserves to get away from it all for a little while. At least, that's what the director of Resident Evil 2 — and the creator of the game's protagonists, Leon and Claire —seems to think. In a post on X, Hideki Kamiy

One of the best Pokémon cards of the year has to be the recently revealed Mega Gallade special illustration card drawn by prolific artist Akira Egawa. Don't get too excited about the majestic card, though. The Pokémon Company is only printing a small number of those Gallade cards, and any fan who wants one will need to jump through quite a few hoops.

Supermassive Games CEO Robert Henrysson has announced he will be stepping down from the company. Henrysson led the studio behind horror titles such as The Quarry, Until Dawn, and The Dark Pictures Anthology for over two years.

One of my most-watched YouTube videos of all time is the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con panel for Adventure Time's final season. The summer before the animated series ended its original run, the cast and crew behind the beloved cartoon assembled onstage to reminisce, crack some jokes, answer questions from the audience, and most importantly, perform live versions of some of Adventure Time's most iconic songs.

They say a rising tide lifts all boats, but the tsunami that is Grand Theft Auto 6 might push retail chains to their breaking point. The problem comes down to how GTA 6 will be sold, and how people will play Rockstar Games' upcoming open-world crime adventure.

Nearly 20 years later, Toy Story 5 asks: Will we do anything about that? In forcefully asking the question — and pointing fingers at the adults in the room who brought us to this moment — directors Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris have turned the fifth movie in a three-decade-old franchise, destined to make $1 billion worldwide, the most responsive and vital film produced by an American studio in this century.

"Friendslop" doesn't sound like the most complimentary of terms, because it describes multiplayer games that have a little jank to them and aren't particularly polished. They usually revolve around one core mechanic, include amusing physics, and don't take themselves too seriously. But they're a heck of a lot of fun to play with friends; some of the most successful examples include Peak, Phasmophobia, and the recent Meccha Chameleon.

Speculating about what Destiny 3 could have been or might one day become feels like a challenge considering the series’ bizarre trajectory over the years. Did Destiny 2 ever really justify its existence? Narratively, the first sequel jumps right into the Red War, a story arc that ostensibly feels like just another big expansion. What it does do differently, however, is immediately make players powerless. The Traveler is caged by the Cabal warlord Dominus Ghaul. You barely survive getting yeeted

Note: This article is based on a personal blog I wrote 10 years ago to entertain nobody but myself. So if you're one of the 10 people who read it, that's why parts of it seem familiar.

Between Ready or Not, The Babysitter, Azrael, and her recent turn in Over Your Dead Body, I am ready to declare Samara Weaving as one of modern horror's most reliable stars. It just not about shrieks: In each movie, the Australian actor blends classic “scream queen” aura with — sorry for this one — “yas queen” wit. Regardless of where the stories go, if Weaving is on screen, you can expect her to emerge bloodied, funny, and triumphant.

In summary: not that much. Although we do have one major new entrant and one significant withdrawal.

Disclosure Dayis Steven Spielberg’s first sci-fi blockbuster since 2018’s Ready Players One, and it’s a return to form for the genre legend. The film about people attempting to tell the world that aliens have been visiting Earth for nearly 80 years combines the wonder and spectacle of Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T.with the tense chase scenes of the Indiana Jones series.

The X-Men are returning to the big screen on Dec. 18 as part of Avengers: Doomsday, with Cyclops (James Marsden), Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), and Magneto (Ian McKellen) joining all the biggest stars of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the fight against Doctor Doom. But you don’t need to wait six more months to see those characters using their mutant powers to fight an apocalyptic threat, because a new X-Men adventure is kicking off in just three weeks.

In a recent interview for the Happy Sad Confused podcast, host Joshua Horowitz asked

Two years later, X-Men '97 is back for more, and the stakes couldn't be higher (especially after the messy public firing of original showrunner Beau DeMayo, who receives an executive producer credit this time around). I'll cut right to the chase: X-Men '97 season 2 is just as good, if not better, than anything I've seen before. Based on the first four episodes provided to critics, the show's second season more than meets the challenges teased in season 1's cliffhanger ending, while setting up an

Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor have a tough job in Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi thriller Disclosure Day. They spend most of the film being chased by agents of the Wardex Corporation, a sinister group that has been hiding the existence of aliens since the ‘40s while profiting off reverse-engineering extraterrestrial technology. Cybersecurity expert Daniel Kellner (O’Connor) is mysteriously connected to TV meteorologist Margaret Fairchild (Blunt), and as they are drawn together, they discover they hav

The final registration numbers for Evo 2026 have been released. While thousands are still signed up to compete in tournaments for games like Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8, there's a notable drop-off for returning titles when compared to last year.
