I first heard whispers about a possible Black Flag remake way back in June 2023, thanks to a report from Ethan Gach at Kotaku. But it took a while for any more concrete evidence to surface. Now, as of early 2026, it feels like everyone in the Assassin’s Creed community knows about the Black Flag remake – it’s pretty much an open secret at this point!
As a gamer, one of the things I really love is seeing a ton of unlockables laid out from the start. It gives me something to work towards and keeps me motivated to level up, both to get generally stronger and to experiment with different ways to build my character. Honestly, sometimes those skill trees are so massive and detailed, they almost become a game within a game! I can easily spend hours just exploring all the different options and figuring out the best path for my playstyle.
The LEGO Game Boy set (number 72046) was revealed in January 2025, just before the 36th anniversary of the original Game Boy. It officially went on sale October 1st, and in the U.S., it seems like LEGO had enough available to meet most of the demand – shortages haven’t been a major issue, which isn’t unusual for LEGO sets based on Nintendo products. Pre-orders sold out quickly during the summer, and lots of people were able to get the set, likely helped by its popularity on social media and its appeal as a holiday gift.

New research reveals that interactions between magnetic atoms and a layered material are driven by direct chemical bonding, not complex quantum effects.
Even before its release in November 2024, details about the PS5 Pro had been widely leaked online. This upgraded version of the PlayStation 5 boasts a more powerful graphics processor and doubles the storage space with a 2TB solid-state drive. A key feature is PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), a technology that enhances graphics so games look sharp and run smoothly without a significant loss in visual quality. However, the PS5 Pro is expensive at $749.99 and doesn’t come with a disc drive.
New research demonstrates how order emerges from seemingly random particle interactions in a fundamental equation governing gas behavior.
Okay, so my first time playing, a lot of little things just kinda blended into the background, you know? But once I finished the game and knew how it all went down, going back for a second playthrough was wild! Suddenly, all those details I barely noticed before were like, ‘Hey, pay attention to this!’ It totally changed how I experienced it. And then there are games that really pull you in by letting you see the story from different characters’ points of view. Those ones need multiple playthroughs to really understand everything, which honestly, I’m not always mad about!
Steam offers a wide variety of free-to-play games, including online titles and independent creations. You can find popular free-to-play MMORPGs like Guild Wars 2 and Lost Ark there, and Steam frequently gives away free games during sales, helping indie developers reach new audiences. To start 2026, Steam is letting players grab four different games completely free.
Looking back, it’s amazing to see how huge both the Persona and Pokemon series have become over the last 30 years – they’ve definitely changed a lot since they first came out! I’m really excited for 2026 when they both celebrate their 30th anniversaries, and I’m guessing both Atlus and The Pokemon Company have big plans. But honestly, I’m feeling a lot more confident about what Pokemon will reveal. They’re on the verge of launching their 10th generation of games, which is awesome. A brand new mainline Persona game, though? That still feels pretty far off, even with the anniversary coming up.
As large language models grow in size, efficiently saving and restoring their state becomes a critical performance bottleneck.
