A great thing about collecting LEGO is that the company usually gives a preview of the next year’s sets, letting you plan and save for the ones you want. However, some sets – especially big collaborations, large builds, or special editions – can be quite expensive and aren’t within everyone’s budget. The upcoming LEGO Stranger Things set, releasing on January 1, 2026, right after the show’s final episode on December 31, 2025, is a good example of this.

These upcoming open-world games are all set in the past – from Ancient China and the medieval era to different periods in 20th-century Japan. Many of these time periods and locations aren’t often featured in video games, making these titles particularly exciting.

Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are incredibly rare Pokémon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and players have only had limited chances to catch them. They were most recently available in February 2025, right before Pokémon Day. Walking Wake is a Water/Dragon type based on Suicune, appearing as an ancient creature, and Iron Leaves is a Grass/Psychic type robot inspired by Virizion. As with other Paradox Pokémon, Walking Wake is found only in Pokémon Scarlet, and Iron Leaves is exclusive to Pokémon Violet. This means that trainers who want to catch both Pokémon will need to trade with each other.

The anime Solo Leveling quickly became popular after its first season, but it was the second season that truly made it a massive hit. The second part of season 2, which adapted the Jeju Island arc, was especially impressive and left fans amazed by its high quality.

Many immersive games try to capture what life was like in the trenches of war, and some even highlight the difficult tasks of building and maintaining them, as well as the pointless nature of prolonged conflict. Here are some of the best games that focus on trench warfare, spanning several different game types.

Wizards of the Coast has revealed plans for Magic: The Gathering in 2026, promising a record-breaking seven new sets that are legal for Standard play. The year will bring back beloved settings like Lorwyn and Strixhaven, but will largely focus on “Universes Beyond” – exciting crossovers featuring TMNT, Marvel Super Heroes, The Hobbit, and Star Trek. There’s even early word that a new Incredible Hulk card may already be damaged from excitement!

I’m a huge fan of the genre, but it’s hard to ignore how many familiar tropes Solo Leveling uses. People often compare it to other ‘transported to another world’ series, especially ones with that video game-style leveling up system. Honestly, while Solo Leveling is a blast to watch, I sometimes wish it had a bit more depth and a richer backstory. Some other series really nail that part, building incredibly detailed worlds and histories.

2016 didn’t have any games quite as revolutionary as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it still offered a lot of great exclusive titles that people remember fondly. These games will be a decade old next year, and Nintendo might consider bringing them to the Switch 2 with a port or remaster. We’ll have to wait and see what happens in 2026.
