Games

I’ve been checking out other games like Hunt: Showdown 1896 and Escape from Tarkov, but I’m hesitant to get fully invested right now. I’m still having fun with ARC Raiders, even though I skipped the first in-game event. What’s really holding me back is the upcoming release of Bungie’s Marathon. It seems like it will be similar to ARC Raiders and has quickly become one of my most anticipated games for 2026.

Ubisoft is continuing to reorganize and cut costs, with more layoffs happening in 2026. They recently closed their Halifax studio after employees voted to unionize, which resulted in 71 job losses. Now, the company is cutting an additional 55 positions.

While Jujutsu Kaisen has a compelling story, many fans primarily watch for its thrilling fight scenes. As a battle-focused series, it’s natural that certain characters have emerged as the strongest. Currently, Gojo Satoru and Ryomen Sukuna are widely considered the most powerful characters in the series. However, Gojo Satoru is currently sealed, a development that occurred during the second season of JJK.

During investigations, players will sometimes need to carefully search for specific people or hidden items. One of these tasks is called the Lazarus task, and it involves finding a man named Solomon.

LEGO announced its first five Pokémon sets on January 12th. The sets vary greatly in size and price – some are small and inexpensive, while others are large and quite expensive. Two of these sets can only be obtained as free gifts with a purchase or by using LEGO Insider reward points.

The tutorial is helpful at first, but you’ll quickly need to figure things out on your own while trying to survive on a dangerous, meteor-strewn planet.

A new vampire-themed survival game, Vampires: Bloodlord Rising, is set to launch on Steam Early Access on January 30, 2026, and it’s taking inspiration from the popular game Valheim. It builds on Valheim’s core ideas – like exploring a vast world, building a base, and playing with friends – but adds a dark, gothic fantasy story focused on themes of power and what it means to be a vampire.

The One Piece anime is starting its Elbaf storyline, and Bleach will finish the Thousand-Year Blood War arc. Fans were surprised to learn that Naruto is returning in 2026 with four new episodes. While 2026 promises to be a major year for all three shows, it might be the last time they release new content together.

I’ve been so excited for this update, not just for the gameplay tweaks, but because they finally released that awesome skin from the ARC Raiders teasers! It’s part of the new Abyss cosmetic set, and you can grab the whole bundle for 1,600 Raider Tokens. It includes the skin – you might remember it from a trailer before ARC Raiders even came out – plus a new emote and a bunch of other cool stuff. We’ve been waiting almost three months for it, and it’s finally here with update 1.11.0 on all platforms! I immediately checked the in-game store when the update dropped.

Superhero video games haven’t always been what they are today. Early games were often based on arcade experiences, and later many were quickly made to coincide with movie releases. This approach was hit or miss – while games like Spider-Man 2 were great, many others were disappointing, and players started to become skeptical. Sony, now a leader in superhero game adaptations, responded to this by creating original characters and storylines with the Infamous series, which many still find more innovative and engaging than even the Marvel’s Spider-Man games.
