This held true for 11 Bit Studios’ recent report. The Polish game developer highlighted its strong financial position and announced it’s currently working on four major projects.

Toei, the well-known company behind popular franchises like Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, Power Rangers, Dragon Ball, and One Piece, is expanding into video game development with a new division called Toei Games. This marks the first time the company will directly create and publish its own games.

The Pentagram in Vampire Survivors is a powerful weapon that generates a magical symbol to eliminate enemies. However, it has a fairly long cooldown period between each use.

Okay, so it’s kinda like Vampire Survivors – when you pick your character in Vampire Crawlers, you start with a specific weapon. But you quickly unlock a ton more! What’s cool is each character is also a card you can play during a battle. Playing a character card gives your whole team a special boost, which is awesome for getting through tough spots.

The Splatoon series began in May 2015, created by Shintaro Sato and Hisashi Nogami, and was initially available only on the Nintendo Wii U. It quickly became a popular new franchise for Nintendo, with the first game receiving an average review score of 81 on OpenCritic. In 2017, Splatoon 2 was released on the Nintendo Switch and became one of the console’s most successful launch titles. The latest installment, Splatoon 3, arrived on the Nintendo Switch in September 2022 and is considered the best game in the series so far.

I don’t think the 2000s anime are ruined by any means – a lot of them still hold up really well and are totally worth watching. But if you’re jumping in as a new fan or revisiting old favorites, be prepared for a few quirks. These issues can range from actual problems with the story or animation, to things that just come with how anime was made and released back then.

Crunchyroll is the world’s leading anime streaming platform. While it’s best known for its TV series, especially new episodes released each season, it also offers a fantastic selection of anime movies that are well worth checking out, even though they aren’t always prominently featured. You’ll find hundreds of episodes available each season if you follow the currently airing shows, providing plenty of content to enjoy.

Even though its development wasn’t without challenges, Crimson Desert has been a commercial success, surpassing several sales goals. It’s already sold over 5 million copies in under a month and is poised to become one of 2026’s best-selling games. While critics had mixed reactions, players are enjoying the game, and Pearl Abyss is actively improving it with regular updates. The story, however, remains a common complaint among fans, as it’s considered one of the game’s weaker aspects.

It’s not the specifics of what was removed, who asked for it, or even which platforms complied that bothers me. What’s really striking is how quickly it all happened. A single request, a short period of pressure, and a large part of the creative world was changed. No laws were broken, and yet it still occurred.
