Venusaur was the very first Grass-type Pokémon players could choose as a starter, and it popularized the powerful Solar Beam move that many Grass-types now use. While newer starters like Meowscarada have quickly become popular with fans, every Grass-type starter Pokémon is well-known. Some have played bigger parts in the animated series than others, but they’re all famous in their own way.
In 1348 Ex Voto, players follow Aeta, a knight on a quest to rescue her love, Bianca, portrayed by Jennifer English, known for her roles in Baldur’s Gate 3 and Expedition 33. The game features third-person combat inspired by European martial arts, with a focus on different combat stances and combo attacks. While set in a harsh Medieval Italy, the game also boasts moments of beauty and impressive scenery, encouraging players to explore its world.
The popular webcomic Solo Leveling finished a few years ago and, despite being very successful, its conclusion left some fans wanting more. Specifically, the story briefly covered the 27-year Monarch War, a major conflict, without going into much detail. Many readers felt this was a missed opportunity. Now, with the new project Solo Leveling: Karma, that’s about to change. Karma will significantly expand on the events of the 27-year war, which has fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of the story.
The collectible card game Magic: The Gathering has changed a lot recently. Collaborations with other popular franchises, like Final Fantasy and Spider-Man, have become common, growing from small releases into entire expansion sets. The company behind Magic, Wizards of the Coast and its parent company Hasbro, have also increased how often they release new sets – currently six per year, with plans for seven in 2026. Now, some investors in Hasbro are voicing their concerns about how the game is being managed.
It’s hard to compare Power Rangers based on strength because they’ve all had such different skills and faced unique challenges. Some Rangers fight monsters, while others battle villains of a different sort. For example, the Megaforce Red Ranger is a good defender of Earth, but he probably wouldn’t be able to handle the threats faced by earlier Rangers. This just shows that not all Red Rangers are equally powerful.
Naruto Uzumaki is considered one of the best anime characters ever created, so many fans were surprised when the Boruto series sidelined him. While he’s been gone, Boruto Uzumaki and a new generation of ninja have been proving themselves with their own battles and growing strength. However, fans are eagerly awaiting Naruto’s return to the story.
Yes, you read that right. Over 5,700 Bitcoin enthusiasts (or, as I like to call them, “HODLers with hope”) admitted that their crypto wallets are about as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to real-world transactions. And why? Well, it’s not like they’re short on excuses.
At the helm of this quixotic endeavor stands the redoubtable Thomas Coratger, a cryptographic engineer of no mean repute, ably seconded by Emile, whose contributions to the leanVM project have earned him a place in the pantheon of the mildly celebrated. Together, they lead a charge not of mere academic navel-gazing, but of practical, if somewhat frantic, execution. Live testnets, developer séances, and tooling so scalable it might as well be a mirage-such are the weapons in their arsenal against the quantum menace.
Okay, 2026 is shaping up to be amazing for us Souls fans! I’m already hyped for games like Nioh 3 and Code Vein 2 dropping soon – I’m expecting to lose tons of hours to those, dying repeatedly but hopefully getting good at them! And it doesn’t stop there. There are a bunch of other promising Soulslike games confirmed to come out later in the year, though a lot of them don’t have firm release dates yet. Things can always change and games get delayed, but here’s a look at the biggest upcoming Soulslikes we can expect to see in 2026.
Goku was a groundbreaking anime hero, but many protagonists have emerged since then. While he remains incredibly popular, some argue that these newer characters are simply more well-developed and compelling.
