A notable Pokemon leakster has started off the new year with an enigmatic post that could suggest upcoming content, encouraging players to pick among several different Pokemon. The widely acclaimed monster-collecting series is poised for a significant year in 2025, as a primary title has already been announced. Last year, The Pokemon Company unveiled Pokemon Legends: Z-A, the sequel to 2022’s Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which takes place in the Kalos region, with Lumiose City at its center. This well-known leaker might be giving a clue about some of the game’s content.

The airship has always been a distinctive feature of the Final Fantasy series, providing a means for exploration, independence, and development. With Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 approaching, the updated Highwind presents Square Enix an opportunity to modernize the airship functions while preserving its heritage.

The Irregular at Magic High School, more commonly known as Mahouka, is a series that has managed to build a dedicated fanbase, albeit not as massive as sensations like Demon Slayer.

Electronic Arts (EA) has recently revealed the 13 games they will be discontinuing in 2025, a list that is unfortunately not unexpected given the trend towards live-service games and online multiplayer. It’s regrettable, but it’s become common for games to be closed down periodically as EA frequently terminates its game servers. Notably, several significant games were shut down last year.

It appears that PlayStation is following a pattern of refining some of its current, highly-acclaimed titles from recent years, such as those from the Horizon and The Last of Us series. In January 2024, Naughty Dog introduced an enhanced version of The Last of Us Part 2, which included DualSense wireless controller compatibility, PS5 visual upgrades, Lost Levels, and the No Return roguelike survival mode – all less than four years after the game’s initial launch. In a similar vein, in October 2024, Guerrilla Games launched an enhanced version of Horizon Zero Dawn, featuring re-dubbed dialogue, The Frozen Wilds DLC, upgraded character models, and better PS5 visuals – only seven years after the original game’s debut. However, it might be wise for Guerrilla to postpone a Horizon Forbidden West Remastered release for a while.
